I was trying to root the Xperia ION phone.
I followed all the the steps mentioned(HERE) & flashed the kernel available HERE.

BootLoader is unLocked

Now after flashing the kernel, the device had gone in bootloop mode.
I could access the recovery, but thats it.
When i tried to boot to system from recovery, it once again started bootloop.

So, from recovery i wiped the whole system partition of my fone {wipe data}.
Now there is not bootloop, when the phone starts it just gets stuck at SONY logo & after that it doesnt go any further.

While starting it displays a pink LED, so i can go into recovery by pressing VOL-UP key & from recovery i can go into BootLoader FastBoot Mode.

But i cannot get the green led to get into flash mode.

I dont know which type of bricked device is this HARD or SOFT BRICK.
But please help.

What should i do further so that i can again use the phone.

Currently the phone's battery is completely dead.
