[Completed] Bricked Xperia Tipo, please help

[davidprendergast]

Hello XDA,

So a few days ago, I rooted my Xperia Tipo st21i using King Root
(http://www.kingroot.net)
My reason for rooting was to install a custom ROM, which I knew would speed up my phone and offer more customisation options.

So I followed some tutorials on Youtube, I got CWM installed, but didn't unlock boot loader.
First I backed up using Titanium, and I have the backup on my iMac

I used these tutorials:

Install Rom: https://youtu.be/sG1NClM9aeA

CWM Install:https://youtu.be/0MjdHbAcAgM

As instructed in the first tutorial I put the zip of Super Jelly Bean 8.0 on my device and used CWM to install.

But... I didn't wipe

And it bricked...

I've tried the rubber band trick as mentioned here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/help/xperia-tipo-wont-help-t2510628

My phone always shows a black screen even when I hold power for 3 seconds and I can't find help anywhere.

Thanks for feedback!
