I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?
Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader

I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?
I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool

I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!
Feel free to ask

Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?
I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?
Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely

You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.

Hi all this is my first post.
Yesterday I flashed a rom (can't remember the Name) and my phone got stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen. From Flashtool I re-Flashed The stock kernel and my phone worked again, only my phone was unrooted, all my apps were gone and it wouldn't load cwm recovery, which has a backup of my phone before with all my apps, contacts and stuff. it also has nxtBeAn rom on the SD card that I installed and disliked.
Please help me to somehow root my phone again (DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su failed to root it and so did Gingerbreak V4) so I can get all my contacts, messages, apps and passwords back.
Thanks

sadly it didn't work. I tried flashing 4.0.2.A.0.42 and when the phone booted in the about phone it still says im on .62 build number and 2.6.32.9-perf kernel version.
I then tried flashing 4.0.1.A.0.283 and it Still says im on .62.
Not sure how to overwrite with a rootable build number and kernel.

You have to unlock your bootloader because that ROM requires you to flash a custom kernel.
The thread explicitly states you need an unlocked bootloader, yet you still have to ask?

Eh, maybe a bit harsh. In OP's defense, most of the talk around here about bootloader unlocking is concerning ICS ROMs. Probably just wanted to make sure since that ROM is based on stock.
Actually the rom might work witn unlocked boot loader, check out the 54 page

Use stock kernel and you'd be fine.
Does that mean if I am running stock Verizon I will be fine?

Use CWM to flash ROMs. Use Fastboot to flash kernels.
So that's a yes?

But that requires you to flash a custom kernel, which I can't because I don't an unlocked bootloader.

Yea I realized that afterwards that's why I edited my post. And yes it will work. But if you wanted the .145 you could just use the darforest ver.

Just a quick confirmation, I can flash this in CWM? As you can see, Im a huge noob

Yes...be sure you do a backup first. Since you stated you are on 2.3.3 you'll be OK.

Unlock your bootloader and try all that is write in the forum, because the stock support is the worst, a new firmware like the 6.1.A.2.55 will never arrive to your phone

Actually if you want the newest stock firmware, reinstall PC Companion, choose your language and Singapore as your country, you will get the .2.55 update, 1st check. in your own language.

So i used the method from DooMLord to root my LT26i.
In that method i had to flash my .96 kernel back to .211 root it and then flash it back to .96
But when i tried to flash it to .211 I rebooted my Xperia S i checked the build and it was still .96. The strange thing is that it told me about a new update. The .96 one, but I already have it so it mindf's me. It says that I can only install it through the PC. So i tried and it says that the Sony servers are down ATM. Does anybody know what's happening?
EDIT: The servers aren't down I can install the update but i still don't get the reason why it's telling me that there's an update for a build that I already have.

oh right
check if your drivers are installed
also check if you have a correct ftf installed
maybe updating flashtool may help
i had this issue with a older version of flashtool

to root right
it only flashes the 211 or 200 kernel provided
it wont change your build number
your kernel version will change (if sony changed it between 200/211/96)
soz i misread initialy
