soft bricked or hard bricked, anyway help me :(

I rooted my phone Xperia TX and after that I installed some rooting applications, the 3d gaming thingy asked me to reboot, and I rebooted and it became a brick, boot-loop...... shooot. I wanted to go to recovery mode, but it didn't work, I searched on Google for 3hrs. Moreover, I tried sony flash tool emma, but it doesn't attach my phone.

Basically, what my phone is doing is after showing sony logo it boots again and again.

Can someone help me......

first thing you should know is............. if u get any vibration when u press power button?? then relax.... its not a hard brick. You can recover your phone... and if your phone is continously restarting without bieng done by you then its a boot loop....... if the condition of your phone is none of the above one's described then its a soft brick........... so please tell me, in  what kind of situation is your phone presently???????

after installing SUS restart your PC > disable your firewall and antivirus > run SUS

then

turn off your phone > press and hold the volume down key THEN while still holding the key connect the USB cable do NOT release the volume key.

Try rerooting it using the flash tool. It seems you got a bad root app. Use the generic .303 and see what happens. Rooting has been a bit tricky with the Xperia line. Hopefully you get this solved.
