Root Xperia P doesn't turn on after installing Phantom Kernel

[mateoCro]

Hey guys. I am looking arround on net like crazy to solve this problem. So i was instaling Phantom Kernel to overclock my Xperia p everything finished sucessfuly but after i rebooted device, id did not want to turn on again. Phone will only show lights and vibrate and can be detected in flashtool as in flash mode but i don't know what to do please help!!!

Did you make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing the kernel? (Always do that before you flash anything)
If not, ill ask a mod to move this to the Xperia P forum so someone can tell you how to recover it.
What carrier are you on, country are you in?

P.s, have you tried clearing Cache and Dalvik in recovery?

Moved, thanks!

As Funky says, try getting back in to recovery and clearing cache/dalvik or restoring your back up?

Your best option might be to restore a suitable ftf file using flashtool.

I did recovery sucessful on CWM Recovery and phone worked after reboot till i installed Phantom Kernel. I followed this tutorial btw, How to Overclock the Sony Xperia P - TheUnlockr TheUnlockr . I am from Croatia, it's a Tele2 network. Thanks for replying, i wrote on xda and nobody seems to respond :/

How am i suppoused to get back in the recovery when i can't boot phone ? How do i do that, thanks ?

 

[mateoCro]

Nope, i forgot to clear Cache and Dalvik

Ah, you can't even get that far?

Your only option is flashtool and a compatible ftf file.

You could even try using Sony's PC Companion or their Update Suite.

Thank you, i will try Update suite if it doesn't work that way then i i will try flashing, but how do i do that, i never did flashing before...

 

[mateoCro]

Well, good news is that it detected my phone and it's now downloading software, i hope it will work...

Isnt there a button combination to boot an xperia into recovery from being off?

Recovery is weird on Xperia devices. From what I can tell (and from experience), if the device won't boot, recovery won't work.

Your best bet in these situations is an Xperia specific app called Flashtool.

 

[mateoCro]

Well phone is working again, thank you guys for responding . Too bad i probably won't be able to overclock it...

 

[funkylogik]

Glad you got it working.
Dont give up though.. just be sure to flash the kernel cleanly by doing the wipes. At least you know how to fix if it goes wrong.
This sub-forum is dead lol! Isnt there much development for that phone?

 

[mateoCro]

Well that phone is really not popular. I never saw a friend in my town that has this mobile only samungs and some other xperia's lol.

 

[funkylogik]

Lol i hate having a popular phone but it really helps when it comes to development
