Did you install a custom ROM on your Sony Xperia E1 and it bricked your device? Does your device not respond anymore? If so, installing the stock ROM should help you solve the issue.
Once you’ve installed the stock ROM on your Sony Xperia E1, most of the software related issues will be resolved. Also, it will unroot your device and get it back to the default state.
Here’s how:
Files You Need

2. Download Flashtool to your computer. It’ll be used to flash the stock ROM on your device.
