Xperia ion hard bricked

Hi,

I need help with my xperia ion lt28h..

After installing a .zip (Smooth ion) through CWM Recovery, my phone restarted n booted up normally to the lock screen. After i unlocked the screen, it went blank so I pressed the power button and the normal power off button (and some others) appears, so i power off the phone and it went to a boot loop.

I tried pressing the Volume up + power button and connecting it to flashtool by pressing the volume down button and inserting the usbto flash a new firmware but nothing appeared on flashtool Slightly_frowning_Face

I tried the Volume up + power button again and again and still nothing.. I then pressed Volume up + power button again but longer and received 2 or 3 vibrations (i can't remember) and now the phone is just Dead. No Screen,No LED light, nothing :'( 

I tried charging it for 2+ hours and tried connecting it to my pc to see if it does anything but apparently nothing happens.

Somebody please help me :'( This is my only phone and I have no other Slightly_frowning_Face

Xperia ion LT28h

I have somehow bricked my phone, xpiera ion

the first few days it was boot looping, only to the black right before the sony logo, so i put it on a new wall charger and let it charge for a few days where it was a solid red led light, without response to any combo of buttons. i got home yesterday and the red led had gone off, still no response. i want to try to flash it or something, but i don't really need to use the phone again, i just want to get ALL my picutres and contacts off of it. 

I am silly and didn't back it up, well, i started the day before it broke. I got half the picutres. 

what can i do? I own a Mac, if that makes a difference.

I am going to use this thread. I think I bricked my Sony Xperia Ion LT28h when I tried to install CyanogenMod 11. I did everything as descbired in the guide (as far as I believe) untill it told me to turn off the phone. After that it said I need to press power + volume up button at the same time, the phone started and I saw some texts and logos untill it basicly shut down again (I felt 3 times vibrating so I believe it did hard reset?). After that nothing happens. Whatever I try to press or do, power + volume up/down combinations, nothing happens, it is just dead. I tried to put it in wall charger but nothing happens. PC/Flashtool actually recognizes the phone but I can't do anything. There isn't any led lights.

Note: The screen is not totally black, there's some kind of backround light all the time on..

What sould I do rather than wait and hope? Thinking_Face
