Good Evening !
At the begining I'd like to sory for my english. as it's not my first language.
So... Yesterday i've tried to flash a new ICS XDark v0.2 rom in to my xperia play R800i.
I have unlocked a boot loader and rooted my phone aswell.
Installation went well with flashboot, after installation my phone rebooted, and when it tried to turn one it stucked on "sony erricson" screen, for few secs, turned off and on again... and again stuck at the same moment... and same thing over and over again.
Someone on forum said it looks like karnel problem... and sugest to flash it.
So i have read on internet quite a lot about flashing kernels, to try to flash it.
I've downloaded doomkarnel v03.zip, and tried to flash it with flashtool, but it didn't work cause to flash it with flashtool i need ftf file which i cant find to download, so i used a fastboot to flash it, but when i tape command in CMD it says "can not load image"
so again i have started to search on google to fix this problem but nothing worked.
I decidet to flash diffrent rom just to make my phone working again so i've downloaded cyanogen 7 as ftf. file so i could flash it with flash tool...
When i was loading file to flashtool it wanted me to connect phone with pressed "back" button, so a did it.. but after few sec flashtool said "flashing filed"... dont know why...
I dont know what to do... I am trying to fix it 12 h today... and tried 5 yesterday... Please help me, I need my phone working ;/
Maybe there is anyother way to install stock rom back again or any thing to make it works again?
Really need help.
Thank you very much,
Jake.

OK, I Know I did a very stupid thing but I flashed the Nordik Version of the Official ICS Rom for Arc S on My Arc.
Now The problem is when it was flashing, the flash stopped at a certain point. Here is the message
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Flashing userdata.sin
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

But then After I Rebooted, It showed the sony logo for a second and then some logo of the mobile with a caution symbol (Yellow Exclamatory Mark). And thats it, after a couple of seconds, it switched off.
I repeated the process and the same thing.
Scared Then I Flashed a Doom Kernel and did a factory reset. While the factory reset, it said that it could not open \data :|
i tried formating data many times but it could not mount it saying different file system.
So I flashed a matching Custom ROM and It does not work, Nether is any app installing nor any file getting saved
Please Help!
And Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?
If flashtool stopped then try re-downloading the file in case it was corrupt, and try to re-flash. If that's not successful download a stock 2.3.4. ftf and flash that.
FTF Wasnt corrupt :\
Now I Have tried flashing the 2.3.4 Android aswell BB 48
A Very old one which I downloaded around december time to root my Arc.
That doesnt even go past the SE Logo
The Custom ROM atleast booted.
My Guess is that the userdata partition has a different filesystem than the one it can read :\
Think it's to do with flashtool being unable to handle ICS data parameters. Binary has posted some type of workaround till he updates it.
Ok, Will check them out.
Thanks!
In his post?
think so, it's mentioned in the thread.
Nope
It stops while flashing the system.sin file
Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?
Not yet, apparently. I use cm9 so don't really know, though I think there's a cwm flashable ics stock.

No Use of that
Try connecting in fastboot, and use the erase or format commands, e.g. 'fastboot erase boot' or erase system, in case it's a system partition issue
Then try a kernel and rom.

OK, Apparently the problem was that I was using an old version of the flashtool (0.5.8)
I downloaded the latest 0.6.9.1 and followed the 3 step flasshing process

Hi ,
I have ARC S with unlocked boot loader.
I can install any kernel on the phone via fast boot or by using the flashtool latest version.Right now I have installe dthe lupus kernel V16 and I can boot to the CWM and I hae installed the latest version of Ultimate Xperia HD by jader , I can install and after installation if i reboot the phone is stuck at booting screen only. I have tried various kernels and various roms all are giving the same issue.
I can install the ROM but cannot boot it gets stuck at booting screen. I have formatted the partition's via fastboot and by using the CWM still the issue persists.Please help.
Flash the stock firmware ftf file, then try again, or flash a different kernel.

Hi guys , Please help me as I have tried multiple kernels and roma all of them exhibit same issue,
Booting to CWM using the CWM inbuilt into the kernel takes a long time as well as once a rom is installed via CWM it completes installation and then comes to the boot screen and it sits at the boooting screena and does not get past it.
How are we gonna help if you don't state ROM and kernel and what exactly you did.

I have installed lupus v 16 kernel , with xperia ultimate hd rom and xperia blue rom both are having same issue.I can boot to cwm and install the rom but after you give reboot after the rom installation it just sits at the boot animation screen .
One thing I noticed is that booting to cwm takes almost a minute after turning on the phone , is this normal ?.

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck
the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!
Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....
same problem here
To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.
Hi.
Today I received my Xperia S and immediately started rooting it. First i unlocked my bootloader succesfully with help of sonys official tutorial.
Then I rooted my stock ICS 2.45 firmware succesfully with root witch restore binaries thingy. Then I started installing CWM and used ten thousand different tuts and finally succeeded to boot to CWM based recovery v5,5,0.4 with help of THIS TUT
Now it booted to that recovery and then tried to flash FXP205-cm-10-201-302-01-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip that with it from internal sd. It did say something about status 7 installation aborted. There were tutorial that said that download FXP205-cm-10-201-302-01-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip but i thought that anzu.zip was newest. Was that a mistake and is there any hope that my xperia s will work ever again?:crying:
Maybe stupid, but didyou fully charged?
LB or UB?
Tried again step by step, maybe u missed something?
FlasTool is ur friend!

It's sad but there might be no hope for your Phone since nozomi is the codename for Xperia S and anzu i totalny different model so you flashed wrong kernel so your Phone might be perbricked. Anyways try flashing stock Rom through flashtool. It might work. If you're not able to boot into fastboot/flashmode then your Phone is permanently dead.

dont be dramatic, get sony's official flashtool and flash back a stock rom, then restart from scratch.
1: download the CM you want but it must be with codename nozomi in it
2: if its cm10 get jellybean 4.1.2 gapps, if its cm9.1 get 4.0.4 gapps,
3: place the files through the stock rom back on your sd card
4: flash the boot.img located in the cm file you downloaded,start your phone in fastboot, then:fastboot flash boot boot.img
5: fastboot reboot
6: wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and format system(optional) in cwm
7:instal cm zip in cwm
8: install correct google apps zip
9: reboot the device
10: enjoy
methode works for nearly every ROM around here

If he's not getting any leds then situation might be dramatic but if he can reach fastboot/flashmode then there is high chance to get a Phone alive.

Highvoltage,
You are making all to quick and without attention, too much mistakes for such a short notice.
You don't yet know the process, why don't you lock your Bl and try some custom roms for it? That way you can practice the method and will have almost no chance to hardbrick your phone.
You have your phone alive at this moment or not?
In each case, start from scratch, go to flashtool and go for stock rom again.

Hold on? So u have a pac rom zip on your sd still? If so just flash it
Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
Yes, I managed to get it work with adb. i installed zip in cwm with sideload and I think that wasnt succesful so then pushed zip file to sdcard with adb and flashed it again. My biggest problem was finding working usb drivers. I tried about 15 different ways to install drivers but then just downloaded just some random driver and it worked
no time to explain right now because I am at work. Sry for messy text. Will update this post soon

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?
You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

Yeah,so.. I rooted my phone and flashed AOKP... It's very good rom ,but I'm one of these people who don't know what they want
I opened SUPERSU and i found a option Unroot. Clicked on it and my phone was unrooted. Well... I do the OEM lock but my settings still had the rom options... I tried wipe cache, restoring stock kernel (even i don't know what is that) and I still have the ROM options... Help.. My phone is showing "NFC service stopped." Help me bc I'm in school tomorrow and I need my phone.. Please help me! Really I need help!
Sorry for my bad English! I'm from Bulgaria and I'm learning
You can use fastboot to flash back to stock using an image from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
This will wipe the phone!
Or unlock the boot loader again and flash a recovery and a fresh ROM
Good luck!
Use ODIN 1.55 For worst case scenarios. Put phone into fastboot then flash stock image. Or use a toolkit. Should be the problem if you got drivers installed and working.

From your words I assume you can still power up the phone normally as well as access recovery mode, right? Back up storage contents, do an OEM unlock, flash any stable ROMs around and you should be fine.
