This is your problem "26/046/2013 07:46:31 - INFO - Selected Xperia 2011 Range / FreeXperia / ALL"
Download FTF Generic .423 firmware found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332539 (for US) if anywhere else just check the Android Development section and search for your region. After that plug in phone, put the firmware in the firmware directory where Flashtools is installed normally C:/FlashTools/Firmware then drag/drop the FTF file there. Flash once again, good luck.

Did you download the proper drivers for your phone? As well not the 12mb generic one that comes with Flashtools, choose the one that is around 700mb. As well wipe data, cache, and so on.

Hmm, did you properly put your phone into flash mode? Also be careful in choosing the FTF file pick the right one for your region, then plug in your phone, after pick the firmware that is an actual ROM so it'll be over 700mb cause it includes everything. Unplug your phone once the firmware is prepared and press the OFF button in the back where the sim card and sdcard go in, wait till it vibrates 3 times and hold volume down, bam your phone should be in flash mode. Now begin the flashing process and do not touch your phone or unplug while flashing. Trust me, I was in your place not too long ago when I first got my Xperia keep trying and learning from the forums. Make sure you note any mistakes.

As well be sure you have the latest flash tools located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335555

Hardware damage then nothing you can do but return it, unless it worked perfectly before.

Make sure your flashing properly send us your log when you try again, the off button on the back must be pushed in with a tiny object it should vibrate once after 3 seconds and 3 times after 5 seconds. As well if your phone sits dead after pushing that button then there's hardware damage, unless flash tools recognizes it also make sure you have all the drivers for your ZL in all modes. Drivers are located in C:/flashtools/drivers install SOE-blahblah, adb, and fastboot(these are mainly at the bottom of the list)

Now that those 3 drivers are all installed flashtools should recognize your Xperia in flash mode, try using the OFF button for 5 seconds and then hold volume down with the USB cable plugged in the phone and computer. Continue with normal flashing, choose the generic firmware that shows system, kernel, etc in the FTF you should see a ton of .sin packages which is your phones firmware. Flash your phone and just be patient, once done Flashtools will say "flash completed please disconnect your phone" once you do that your phone should boot.

Just an observation or a tip.....open on back the sim/sd tray and should be a "off" button there....click on it and try again put him in flash mode,try this a few times until pc recognizes.

 

[AndreIrawan97]

So, i already flash the ROM for about 12 times... And repair and update via SUS and PC Companion for about 7 times... Still no sign of life... But my xperia now only show red LED blinking 3 times... If i charge it, it's stuck on bootstall...

NOTE
Tiny off button on near the sim card is not working anymore

Hardware damage then, nothing you can do about it but return it :\ unless someone else has a solution.

So, is hardware damage is related to "can't turn on the device and only shows blinking red LED, also if i charge it, it stuck on bootstall?"
If yes, can i return it ? Even if i already unlock and relock the bootloader?

As previous mention phone (sony) covered for a year, so you can send in to get a new one (refurbished most case).

I recently pickup a new way to flash phone back to stock, so if you want give it a last shot:

1. Phone Off (make sure phone batery is at least more than 10%, otherwise don't have enough power for flashing process, ignore the 50% req'd).

2. Run your PCC, hit support and then repair - follow the steps, it should ran by itshelf.

3. PCC will ask you to hold vol.down+plugin usb.. do it. It should say downloading ... and when done, your phone now should be back to stock.

Good luck - hope it works for you.

Even only plugin to usb at the end ? I guess your only option is send in for service/exchange.
