Ok so I was attempting to flash this Rom through CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208

I had flashed my XZ C6603 already with this Rom so I know that it works correctly.
Anyways I decided to reflash my phone, did all the wipes through CWM before flashing my phone. While attempting to flash my phone the status kept hanging @ "formatting device", it took too long, specially compared to the first time I flashed the device, so I decided to abort (restart).
Now the phone won't go pass the Sony logo, turned the device on and off already, but that didn't help.

I downloaded Flashtool v0.9.10.1, but the thing is that when I hook up my phone to my computer, my phone isn't even being seen, so when I start Flashtool, it just says "31/021/2013 17:21:25 - INFO - Device disconnected".
Is there any way to restore this, or does this mean RMA?

Lets go in steps :
Does it boot to recovery?
If so try, formatting system partition and booting.

Try to repair using update service or emma(if you have unlocked bootloader).

Edit:It seems the recovery we got still not stable enough,that's why i didn't flash any custom rom,even i didn't tried any recovery.

If I could get into recovery then there wouldn't be a problem^^

I'm using the repair service at the moment, will report back with the results.

Edit: The repair service fixed it for me, thanks.
