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!

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.

Bootloader is different than getting ics. If I remember correct if bootloader is unlocked, Sony pcc or update service will not work. You sure your still locked?
Does flashtool find your phone? If not try there drivers.
Sounds stupid but you did reboot after installing pcc / Seus?

Ya I rebooted million the bootloader is definetly locked I was just wondering about that because it's not updating so I was thinking about just rooting and flashing ics but I hate how it deletes all ure stuff.

If you unlocked your bootloader you have to go back to 100% stock gb then update.

Have you tried ftfing the 105 ics firmware through flash tool?
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
Tried it but everytime I enter flashmode on my device it will try to install a driver and then it will say the device has disconnected and the battery charging thing pops up then the driver fails to install happens on Sus seus flashtool everything sooooo annoyiiing
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Did you let the flash driver load before you tried flashing?? If you connect the device in flashmode and let the driver install in Windows then unplug the device. It should now work.
That's the problem tho the driver will not install I went to the Sony store and it worked fine on his computer. I'm gonna try again later because I'd like to root my phone

You can try installing android sdk to get drivers for ADB. You can try the old way to root using ADB not flashtool. Just use the ftf of your choice for ics.

This sounds more like a problem with your particular PC, than with the phone itself...
update wasn't available so i flashed with flashtool on a GB LT28AT. Got absolutely no where for several hours. No matter what i tried, flashtool refused to recognize the phone. I had tried before installing companion, after installing, after uninstalling...installing stock mass storage drivers...holding down and plugging the phone in while flash tool was installed...while it wasn't installed...installing some of the flashtool drivers (of which the ion was never a phone listed), installing all of the flashtool drivers, uninstalling all drivers, rolling back windows, installing some drivers from flashtool...that weren't quite what i had installed before..........etc...
then magically...I'm just sitting there with flashtool open at its log box. I plugged the phone in...again...while holding down volume key, and i get a notice that 'S1 Boot Driver successfully installed'. press the lightning bolt expecting the same result...90 seconds later my phone boot up with the ICS welcome screen...how i got that S1 boot thing to initiate? your guess is as good as mine, but its definitely key for getting a windows PC to flash an lt28.
Something must be blocking it question is what lol I have gotten a notice about that too it says something may be blocking it or the driver has no devices associated with it

hello
i have been in this forum for a while now and its awesome to learn how ours phone work.
thks for the help
right now i have a problem, i got a lt26i (my boss phone), he gave me the phone a few days ago, saying that the phone was inoperable due it always appear "recommender app is not working".
i took the phone, made a backup and then try to "restore the phone" to default, the process went fine, the phone rebooted and when finished the restart process, the phone was exactly in the same way it was a few minutes ago.
that surprised me, but, i continue with the next step, USE FLASHTOOL.:fingers-crossed:
i was confident with this step, i did select the firmware LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf, and everything went fine, and again when the phone restared, nothing, in the same spot.
after that, i thought that maybe if i install a custom kernel and rom, maybe i could have access to the phone again, but no, due i cant take root access or install any recovery program.
i dont know what else can use or do.
thks in advance for your response
AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
regards

Dude,
You could also try Sony update service to push original stock firmware to the device.
But this will wipe all data and will only work if you have not unlocked the bootloader

well, the bootloader is unlocked, so i guess im $%"#ed! any other ideas?

Can't even get into fastboot, tried many times, only chance I seem to have is downgrade to ICS, then flash 'Dooms' rooted JB, reluctant to do this as it means re-installing everything again with Tatanium backup......... and all the settings again.
Must be;
- Fastboot drivers installed in your PC.
- Your device UL.
- Copied super user zip file of doomlord in your device.

Hi .....
Can't even fastboot, or, get to the screen (as I could in ICS) to install from internal memory. Tried everything I know, I'm not very experienced with these things I'm afraid.
I copied a rooted version of JB by 'Doom lord?' to my Xperia S, it being a ZIP file, even unzipped, it would install, or run, couldn't run it, neither could I flash it, so, I'm stuck!!!

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

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
