With flashing i'll loose my warranty, is there any other way..? My phone is brand new, neither rooted
Use SEUS or PC Companion then if you're worried about warranty, but the flashtool is the preferred method.

If you can't get in flashmode (which requires the phone to be off) then it's a trip to the service center, or contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 for remote help.

I cant repair my phone using Pc Companion or Sony Update Service !! :crying:

Download your country firmware and flash with flashtool, then reconnect to update service. It will work then.

Then you can't update using SEUS or PC Companion.
Download the firmware you want from one of the threads and flash it using Flashtool.
Or go the adb route.

Emma and Update services don't recognize my acro s!

Dears,
My Acro s with CM10 rom ( currently ) is not reconized by Emma or Update services!
I changed the rom and kernel but problem stays.
Unfortulatly i don't have back up of orginal software .
When I connect the deivce to Update services : Your device has a modified software
When I connect to Emma : the attached shotscreen appears
Any one had such problem?
Thanks

How are you connecting your phone? For Xperia S, to connect to EMMA your phone must be in fastboot or flash mode(can't remember which one). Have you tried connecting in these modes?
Edit:
That's an interesting picture.
