Hello guys, I have a Xperia S LT26i in the Italian official version of software 6.1.a.2.55 rooted by E-Root v1.0.14 ( locked bootloader )
i wiped battery stats (after wiping data...cache ...all what we can wipe, mount and unmount every thing from the clockworkmod )
i reboot the mobile from the recovery then it crash in the Sony logo it crashes in the sony logo which stays a long time i forced restart by pressing Power button+volume(+) ( tried one viration and three vibrations )
Then the sony logo appeared and won't go away.. I cant boot anything. doesnt respond to hard reset (3 vibrates)
PC wont recognize my phone.
then the same thing happened until nothing displays on the screen and the notification led litghs red lights red when I connect with pc or AC power
then the mobile doesn't turn on or start on recovery mode again and is not recognized by Windows on Flashtool or on the SEUS
i tried to remove/insert battery, waiting to battery drain, charging the mobile without results
what should I do?
hold vol - when phone is powered off and connect usb cable (led should become green), than use flashtool to reflash any stock ROM

When I hold vol(-), connect the phone to pc led become red most times and once in a way it become green for a short time then comeback to red not the time to do a full repair sony update Service or full flash with flashtool i did a successfull repair with the Sony update Service but stopped in the middle and then continued they said that's the phone is repaired successfully but i still have the problem ( won't turn on won't start recovery )
Can you try with another cable? Maybe the one you used is damaged. The phone normaly doesn't exit flashmode when recovery / repair is started.
If this doesn't help give it a try with newest flashtool, get a ftf file for stock fw .55 or any other version you want (would prefer any ICS version). Prepare everything in flashtool until you're told to connect the phone in flashmode than do so ( hold vol(-) ..., or do a soft reset and hold vol (-) with connected usb cable. If your phone enters flashmode (green led), flashtool should start flashing immediately.

Hi all,
The wi-fi connectivity on my Sony Xperia S died a few days ago and it's been irritating me so I decided to root and upgrade to JB to see if that would sort it. Unlocked the bootloader, no problem. Rooted the phone, no problem. But then CWM couldn't identify my device and wouldn't install Recovery. I decided installed Flashtool and flashed a stock kernel, and now it seems like I have bricked the phone.
When I boot I get the Sony splash, and the Fastboot (blue) LED which then goes out leaving just the Sony splash. Pressing the volume keys does nothing during Fastboot. I can do a hard reset and get the three vibrations, but the boot loop is just the same when I power on again. In this state Flashtool says the following:
1/039/2013 14:39:48 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
11/040/2013 14:40:32 - INFO - Device disconnected
11/040/2013 14:40:37 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
11/040/2013 14:40:37 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
Naturally trying to install the drivers does nothing.
Anyone got any suggestions? I really don't want to have to fork out for a new phone!
Cheers.
Make sure you have closed PCC & SUS.
Then try to flash again.
As cities516 has said, first make sure that all those Sony services and update programs are completely shut (be sure to check the status bar near the time and date too). When you power on your phone, the blue led blinks for some time and then fades away. This blue led does not indicate that you are in fastboot mode. So here is what you must do:-
1) Press and hold the volume up + power button until you get 3 vibrations.
2) DO NOT START THE PHONE.
3) Prepare flashtool to flash the stock ics ftf file
4) When it prompts you to connect your phone, hold the volume down key and connect the USB cable.
5) A green led should light up and the flashing process should begin.
6) Once the flashing is complete, disconnect the phone and turn it on normally.

That's great stuff, thanks. All working now! Although I do feel like a moron, I hadn't realised that the PCC was open in the system tray!

Hi,
My phone is stuck at sony logo, after install a custom rom (RomAur). I have locked BL, and I put my phone into fastboot mode and im tryng to fix it with flashtool (pc recognize the phone). Can I flash a rom in fastboot? it doesn´t work into flashmode. Any help? (As you can see im new in this topics...)
Did you try download stock ftf - run flashtool - choose the ftf, when ask for the phone ... push the off button for 5s (behind the phone next to sd slot), then put the phone in flash mode (vol. down) - connect your usb, phone should flash.

Every ZL/Z is meant to work in Flash Mode, just reset the phone by holding the OFF button on the back panel where the SD-card and SIM card are placed. Disconnect your phone from the computer, hold the OFF button until it vibrates THREE times (hold it for 3 seconds it vibrates twice (hard restart), hold for 5 it vibrates thrice(forced flashmode)) soon after plug in the phone into your computer (along with the proper drivers installed from Flashtool in (or wherever you installed it) C:/FlashTools/Drivers (these drivers are SOE-blah, ADB, and fast boot mainly located at the bottom.) Once you've accomplished this, head on over to the Android Development section download a FTF file and restore. If you wish to keep all your data try reinstalling RomAur with proper installation instructions, due to my lack of experience with that rom I cannot give you the best advice other than if you have CWM installed it's an option to constantly flash other roms/zips to possibly fix your scenario. Good luck!
I'll give you more details now, about my problem.
1.- My phone was OK (rooted and with CWM) running Hackit custom rom.
2.- I install RomAur, then on reboot the phone got stuck on sony logo (it means, sony logo, and then reboot, sony logo and then reboot, infinite loop). Pressing OFF button (back next to the SD) it restarts the phone but the infinite loop continues.
3.- I installed flashtool (drivers, etc)
4.- I run the phone and then pressing VOL DOWN and plugin the usb cable at the same time it puts on yellow light (i dont know what mode it is). Infinite loops stops, phone is off and battery charging icon is displayed.
5.- On yellow light then i disconnect the phone and then pressing VOL DOWN and reconnecting flashtool recognize it ("28/024/2013 20:24:13 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode"). No light on the phone. If i do the same but with VOL UP it runs fastboot (blue light).
6.-On flashmode, I press the flash device button (black beam icon), it ask for mode, i choose flashmode. Then i select the ftf. and flashtool displays
28/043/2013 20:43:29 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
28/044/2013 20:44:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
And the infinite loop returns...
If i pressthe powe off button nothing happens, it vibrates only one time, every restart on the loop
HELP! and thanks for your answers
From your comments, get to your step 5. Meaning get your phone off. Run flashtool choose stock ftf when it asked for the phone. Holding Vol.Down plug in usb - this should reset your phone and get you going.

hi,
any help is hugely appreciated.
I wiped my phone in recovery with the option to wipe for new custom rom, this worked fine. when i went to install custom rom it failed and then turned itself off. now the phone just gets stuck at the Sony logo. the only way i can turn it off is via the red button in the sim slot.
I am unable to connect to the computer at all, no fastboot. I'm also unable to boot into recovery to restore.
Please help. Hope i haven't ****ed it up beyond fixing
Thanks
Flash a stock ftf with flashtool (in flashmode). You should definitely get into flashmode and fastboot, otherwise there is a problem with your computer.
Funny, I didn't even know there was a red button Holding Volume Up + Power for a few seconds always worked for me, no matter in which state the phone was.
Hi all,
I've exactely the same problem !!!
My phone stuck to Sony logo, and not reconyze on my 3 PC.... before that, usb connexion work fine on all PC, but now.... nothing
I've just POWER + and VOL+ (its power off the phone), i've no led color light
I've try flashboot, but not detect my phone
i've try to install :
flashtool-0.9.16.1-windows (not detected)
Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318 (my computer doesnt not see my phone)
Xperia_Z1_Compact_driver (my computer doesnt not see my phone too)
I can't go into Flashmode...
When i power off my Z1c, and i plug usb + (vol+) nothing appear...stuck Sony logo...
I'm lost... I need your help XDA members ! just U can help me
PS : the red button is in the SIM slot, but i think is same POWER + (VOL+).... its power off the phone
Because you're doing it wrong. Vol+ enters fastboot mode, you have to press Vol- to enter flashmode. Then use Flashtool to restore the firmware.

Please i need u're help beacause i'm really lost (usualy i flash many phone S4, Mediatek, phones, etc...) but now i dont find solution
My problem come from the original cable
All this because of the USB cable does not work ... CRAZY !
This USB cable is new and original sony... just 2 Weeks
I solved my problem with new one
That's unfortunate, good you found the issue.
i got my acro s hard bricked
I used twrp for making a backup for the the stock firmware.
and then i installed the 5.0.1 the lollipop custom firmware
the link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799765
, but it was not rooted but somehow the recovery was working good .. i decided to restore the stock using the backup version which i made in the beginning coz the ROM was sucks. after finishing the loading it asked for restart and after that i got a blank screen and the following
-no response for charging
-no LED lights at all
-non of any combinations working (volume+ and power on , hard reset or volume+up+power on)
-access to fastboot or flashtool is denied
-no power on no vibrations
but after a day of charging an Orange LED appears but i waited for two more days till the LED disappeared
and tried the flashtool but all i got is "device connected but with debugging off"
i think the problem was using recovery with unrooted device but can't find a solution for that
any suggestions ??!!
Notes:
am too calm
am not panic ..
am not in hurry too
and it's not a big deal
i just want the device back in order to get my stuff from it that's why going to Sony service center is not an option coz they format the whole device
Similar here on st26i
On 4.4 Paranoidandroid I've got after a five days of use in one second a lot of force closes. From every app from the system. It was impossible to stop it, or make normal reboot, so I've hold Power + VolUp and waited till three vibrations. Then turn on the phone, normal vibration and SONY logo.
After that black screen. First with some backlight, after minutes phone backlight turn off.
Now:
- No response for Power button
- No response for Power+VolUp combination
- No charging LED
- System find only SEMC Flash Device
- Flashtool says Device Connected with USB Debugging off
- Combination Power+VolUp make connected device to disconnect and connect again as SEMC Flash Device
- Cant acces fastboot, dwonload mode.

Yup.
Is there any windows/linux software for SONY devices like KDZ for LG phones? Which have an emergency flash option and, etc.???
/EDIT
So... I have read a little and I think (wchich I supposed before witout reading) boot is "dead".
I think it will be possibly to flash new boot with s1boot, but. I cannot find service manual for lt26i. Can anyone have it? Or can say where is the Test Point in this device?
