You take cable to phone ( don't take it to computer )
Before take the cable to PC , you holding volume down and connect with pc till LED on phone blue light !

    Xperia C2 2502 fails to start after routing

    Hi,
    Followed the pocedure. The first part worked perfectly.

    However, after completing the 2nd part and rebooting, It just displays the sony start screen, vibrates once and the screen goes black.
    Also, the power button is not working - I have to press the volume up+power button for the screen to power up. And when it does, it goes back to the second part of the routing.

    Kindly advice...:)
