Sony xperia s bricked by FXP kernel

As the title says, the FXP kernel bricked my phone and I can't install another ftf file over it because everytime i try to do it via flashtool it gets unplugged form fastboot in flashtool while it's still in that fastboot. I think that's because I can't acces the cache anymore.
Can somebody help !! :crying:

I solved it by doing:
1. Factory reset
2. Then check if you can mount system and cache. If you cannot then wipe /data
3. Install another kernel and then install fxp kernel again (I know this sounds crazy)
4. After installing fxp kernel again install fxp rom
Then the phone should be running again

i flash the file in cmd commend because the recovery of the kernel is not working and no success :/
i tried every thing nothing change the kernel or the recovery is not change :'(

Ow i'm sorry didn't read that... But have you tried to check '' no final vertification''? Before you flash the rom you will see that option.
Hope that works !
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

There are files marked their default option "no
Final data verification
"And some not marked
What has marked the installation goes 100 percent all installed but when I turn on the device nothing not installed
And these are not marked the flashtool straight brings me the error "ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY =" MAJOR "; ERR_CODE =" 0009 "; ERR_DYNAMIC =" Final data verification failed "

Very strange, have a look at this thread :

yes but i dont understand want i need to choose which of the tricks is for my phone
you can help me to choose one ?

This happened to me about a week ago too, but dont panic. Just switch off your phone and keep pressing volume up until the c screen shows up.. from there just recover from a previous backup or flash a new kernel / rom. Most probably you got the wrong version for your current rom.

if i press volume up key i enter to the recovery of the kernel and i dont have any of backup and i cant plug the phone to the computer becuase the computer dont recognize the phone in recovery :/

Probably download a stock firmware first and flash with flashtool on fastboot.
I think thats what i did to repair the problem.
If youre not familiar just google it its pretty straightforward.. and there are lota of threads here that offer stock roms

Did you try this - Go into recovery, then go to mount&storage---> Mount USB storage. Then plug your phone in. Copy the rom that you need and flash. For your reference, stock ics zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005595 Don't forget to do all data wipes in CWM.
If it is not recognized, go to device manager and tell us what you see there.
After flashing the rom in CWM if it still doesn't boot, then try flashing a stock ics based kernel like Advanced Stock ICS Kernel from CWM.

Okay then what happens when you flash a kernel from CWM?
Edit:- Error while restoring /system is because you are trying to restore a stock ics or stock based ics rom from CWM while your kernel is for AOSP roms. Just flash Advanced Stock ICS Kernel for Xperia S. Then restore your backup

Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10

Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

i know unlocking the bootloader didnt cause sony companion to fail i deleted all the software in the "safe list" of bloatware to delete to get more space and one of them was update services.
Thats why i really want to install CM 10

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

[Q] PLAY bricked?

Hi, so I tried to flash (using fastboot) DooMsKernel v14, it all looked nice and good,
but after that I tried to restart/enter recovery mode, and nothing happened.
My PLAY only reacts to power button by vibrate, and can enter to fastboot.
I tried to flash it again and flash another ROM (CM9), nothing worked.
Any help please?

Its fairly impossibly to brick the play. Since it can get into fastboot bootloader must be unlocked flash both kernel and Rom to stock.

If the answer is yes, than back to the first thing I did, why I came to this problem - I tried to flash a kernel,

You have an unlocked bootloader just flash doom the kernel and put a Rom on your sd to install. Then first time you boot you press the back button or the menu one or something.and then doom kernel will let you select a Rom.

Ok, so now I try to root the PLAY again, using OneClickRoot. Only one problem - it gets stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
And I also tried OneClickRoot with my friend`s phone (LG Optimus Black) - same result, stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
Is this OneClickRoot`s problem`s, or it just suppose to take long time, or what?

The firat time you start doomkernel it will seem like your phone is bricked as soon as you press power atart pressing the back button and a screen will come up that will allow you to install a Rom off the sd card. I thought mune was bricked firat time. When doom starts the blue led starts its not flash its just what it does.
1. Turn on the phone
2. Press back button until Rom flashing screen pops up
3. Install Rom from sd
4. Boot rom

Most custom Roms are prerooted, so if you're going to install one anyway, you don't have to root your Play manually.
If you can't flash .ftf through flashtool, you could try another download source, had a similar problem a few months ago, many downloads simply didn't work. And using another USB port on my computer fixed my problem with the flash process getting stuck while flashing with flashtool, was strange, but solved the problem.
By the way, if this .238 is android 2.3.4 it probably can't be rooted, if you want stock rom with root you have to downgrade to 2.3.3

So is it qorking yet?

Well, I'm rooted with .238, but my problem is that google apps don't work - it tries to download apps and then stop the ddownload, without any error (Every app)..
So I thought I would try to install a costum ROM, problem is - I cant install recovery.. Tried a few methods, all didn't work.. 2 option, either I didn't succeed on download and installing the recovery, or I can't boot into it..
Any help pls?
