I know its hard to guess a problem but what could I try?
all sow cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power).
ok Download Flashtools .
Then Flash a Framework file which is a .ftf file to the cell with flashtools. I think then it will be ok ...

hmmmm....i think its used for bootloader unlocking. ( not 100% sure though )...
just do the things i mentioned & u r phone should b (fingers crossed) running A ok.
Just for your referance of the Frameworks :-
Build no. Android Version
4.1.B.0.431 --> 4.0.4
4.1.A.0.562 --> 4.0.3
4.0.2.A.0.62 --> 2.3.4
Get flashtool download the lt18i firmware and flash it.The phone should be ok after that.Locked or unlocked bootloader it doesnt metter .U can find the stock 4.0.4 ics on the general section of the forum
Nop..
again the same thing, stuck on logo..
The flash went OK with no errors, but still its stuck on the Logo.
Use SEUS, should do the trick. However, bootloader should be locked and phone should not be rooted.

I think its a boot loop...this might happen due to many reasons..is your phone rooted??bootloader locked or unlocked??
did u install any custom rom?? etc etc..
the solution is simple..just flash the stock rom (.ftf file)..

SONY logo after custom image
Hi,
I want to flash my phone with a customised image.
Try`d with several different ones here at forum.
My phone is rooted (Flashtools tells me) but no blue led when booting, why?
I have installed x-parts and booted to recovery, then installed Update.zip from SD-card
but when rebooting it is always stuck at SONY screen, why?
After flashing with ftf it is ok again, but i want a new custom image...
Please help

Stuck on Sony Logo (help please)

Hi I think I have bricked my phone, and I am looking for some help please I rooted and intalled CWM on a unlocked bootloader Xperia Arc S lt18i
This morning I flashed Beautiful ics 4.2.1 via CWM after doing all the wipes date, cache,dalvik,battery and then installed the rom.
When my phone came back on no led lights flashed and the sony logo is stuck on the screen. I have tried going in to recovery by holing down power button and pressing the volume down button but it doesn't work. I have tried connecting phone to my laptop but it doesn't see it any more.
I don't know what else to try,
Any help please.
Best install stock firmware by using Flashtool (or flash custom kernel so you have root already) and start all over again.
Be sure you wipe everything before flashing a new rom.

Press and hold the volume up+power button until you get three vibrations. Then prepare Flashtool to flash the latest 6.2.B.96 ftf file. When prompted to, hold the volume down button and simultaneously connect the usb cable. Once the flashing is complete, disconnect your phone and start it normally.

[Q] Xperia S CWM black screen

Hi,
I have a Xperia S and have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I then used RecoverX to put CWM on. Then when I try to boot in to recovery (tapping sony logo as it boots), the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas?
Note that if I don't tap to go in to recovery the phone boots fine.
Cheers,
Iain
i think u must install custom kernel with CWM recovery or TWRP to get into recovery mode....

Go to flash boot and reflash kernel either TWRP or CWM. This should resolve the issue.

So if I flash a new kernel I can load in to that and then use it to load any ROM? Can you recomend a particular kernel? I've looked at some of the ones linked from the roll up and it's all a bit confusing to me - they all seem to say they are only for this rom or that rom.
Try doomkernel....http://d-h.st/qE0

Must be a problem with the recovery.. use sony emma flashtool to flash Advanced stock kernel for your firmware... check if your firmware is .200 or .211 or .96.. go to this link to download kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393
check your firmware and download the appropriate kernel.. and flash via flashtool.. in fastboot mode.. and after flashing.. reboot and an amber light will show up on your notification light, then press volume + several times to enter CWM.. (just follow the steps in the link)
Good Luck..!! :fingers-crossed:
Hit thanks if I helped..

IMP thing of CWM Recovery

Whenever you Format /system in recovery Dont Close Recovery(Reboot or TURN OFF)
INSTALL STOCK or CUSTOM ROMS AFTER THAT OR RETORE IT (WITH YOUR BACKUP)
BECAUSE AFTER FORMAT THERE IS NO OS IN YOU DEVICE YOUR MOBILE WILL STUCK ON SONY LOGO ..
IF YOU CAN CONNECT XPERIA S WITH PC ITS WILL EASLY TO YOU .. YOU CAN FLASH
BUT THOSE WHO CAN'T CONNECT TO PC [USB NOT RECONISED, UNKNOWN DEVICE] THEY HAVE TO GO TO REPAIR SO PLZ DON'T TO IT
SO BE ALERT ...!!!!!!!!!

You can always boot into recovery even if You format the /system and reboot. So as long as You have the rom.zip in Your phone, You have no worries as You can always boot into recovery and flash the rom.zip .
Turns out, that is true for locked bootloader since recovery is installed on it using a modification. This doesn't apply to the unlocked bootloader though.
Even i did formatted /system and Power off. When i turned it on ON i cant go in recovery mode
I m still stuck on Sony logo .. now tell me the reason why i m stuck on Sony Logo. I pressed all key volume up or tapping in sony Logo etc etc still cant go in Recovery Mode
