Can't mount storage on sony xperia L. Hard brick Xperia L during repartition.

here is what i did in my sony xperia L and now i anything that can help kindly let me know
I rooted my device and then i officially unlocked my bootloader but after unlocking bootloader the phone was stuck in bootlooop so i installed stock recovery in the phone using flashtool and phone was just fine then. I did all this in order to change the partition of my phone.
Now i installed cwm recovery and after that phone i did the following commands


Open a command window: CMD, then get into shell:
adb shell

Once in shell, type:
umount /storage
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print

This prints out the partition information of your phone's memory chip
You will see the partition numbers in the first column, partition names in the last one,
in between you have the start/end memory index and the partition size
------start---end---size
...
31---1795---3506---1711---userdata
32---3506---7818---4312---sdcard
In the above output, consider the values indicated in italic as not to be changed !

Now calculate (open a spreadsheed if you like) the new value for the end of the userdata partition,
and use the same value for the start of the sdcard partition
On your sheet it should look something like this if you added 2048 to the userdata size
------start---end---size
31---1795---5554---3759---userdata
32---5554---7818---2264---sdcard
Remove userdata and sdcard partitions:
rm 31
rm 32

Create the new userdata and sdcard partitions:
mkpartfs logical ext2 1795 5554
name 31 userdata
mkpartfs logical fat32 5554 7818
name 32 sdcard

Exit parted to go to the adb shell again:
quit


userdata partition (31) needs to have ext4 file system
The following will do the ext2->ext4 conversion:
cd /storage/sdcard1/fs-utils
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p31
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p31
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p31






Now when i restart my phone or even open the phone in cwm recovery it says cannot mount storage.
I tried installing the Rom again using flashtool it does not work and device gets disconnected probably coz now i am not able to mount my storage.
I tried to start adb shell and revert the changes i made in the above command in order to bring phone back to normal but now adb says no device is found.
I went to the customer service centre of sony they said they will change the motherboard.
Now my question is there any way i can fix my phone kindly tell me. I will really appreciate it Since i am not a software developer so i do not know any commands. Is there any way i can change my storage settings so they can be mounted again kindly let me know.
