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!

Odp: Xperia S wont boot or anything
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

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 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.

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 ?.

Did you wipe everything before instaling, and have you tried reflashing th kernel

Hi, i recently upgraded my xperia arc lt15i to the new ics software, all went well and everything working fine so i decided to root the phone which i managed to do with no problems. Being the tinkerer that i am i decided to move some files from my phone memory to sd card. Bad idea! My phone locked up and is now stuck in boot loop. I tried to flash the ics firmware but cannot do it because i need to turn on usb debugging which obviously i can't do. Is there anyway i can resolve this? The annoying thing is that i can see the files i moved on my sd card when plugged into my laptop if only i could transfer them back to phone memory all would be good. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Phil
Use aroma file manager from the android dev forums. It'll let you move files in recovery.

Thanks but i can't seem to find the aroma downlaod anywhere and how do i start my phone into recovery?

Aroma File manager can be found in the Android themes and apps section (not in Arc themes and apps) i think so..
To boot into recovery press the volume down button while Sony Ericsson logo (name) is shown

Ok, so i've found the aroma file and copied it to sd card. Now I can't seem to get my phone into recovery mode. Also how will i know my phone is in recovery???
You'll need a kernel that has cwm to get into recovery...
So flash a new kernel on and then press volume down on boot screen to get into recovery. Though this means you'll have to unlock your boot loader
I tried flashing new software to my phone but it wouldn't have it because usb debugging can't be turned on, will i have the same problem trying to flash a kernal?
Cheers
How do i flash a kernal with cwm to my phone, do i need to have fastboot on my computer? I fear i am getting out of my depth! i need an idiots guide!!
Flashing a kernel doesn't deal with usb debugging and all.. First of all, tell me whether your bootloader is unlocked or not! Then I'll explain in steps!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Neither u need usb debugging to flash a new firmware or to upgrade the current rom..
for flashing purposes only fastboot or flashmode are required..
download the ics firmware ftf file and flash it via flashtool..
At Gire.prasad, I haven't unlocked the boot loader so i asume it is locked.
At now.i.feel. I tried flashing ics firmware again via flash tool but it wouldn't do it, it came up with an error saying it can't connect to my phone.
Thanks
Yes Yes Yes, my phone is back in action. I just flash ics firmware using flashtool again and it worked fine. i tried this the other day and it didn't work so something i downloaded from all of the posts must of helped.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou
It has been a learning curve and i have learnt my lesson. Not to dive in too deep too fast!!!
Thanks to you all again for your in put.

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.

Hi All,
First of all, Thanks to XDA and FreeXperia project. You guys are doing great.
Problem Description:
Initially my phone had a Genuine ICS 4.04 from Sony Xperia [build 6.1.A.2.55]. I heard about CM10 and Jelly Bean 4.1.2 for Xperia S and I wanted to try it out.
So, at first, for unlocking the bootloader, I followed a few procedures suggested in XDA forums about Xperia S and Youtube videos on how to root it and so, I was able to unlock it successfully.
Next while flashing(This is where I made a mistake) , I downloaded FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip from FreeXperia project site.
I pushed the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip to sdcard.
I flashed boot.img, but the flash didnt succeed.
Later I figured out that I had to download FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip. The LT26i was a.k.a "nozomi".
I flashed boot.img now again which is from FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip, then I could see the FreeXpria Logo and purple light on top. I pressed vol up to enter recovery mode.
But, now the zip image in sdcard is FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip. So, I cannot flash that.
Is there anyway for me to copy the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip file in my PC to a location in sdcard of phone so that I can point to it during the recovery mode or during fastboot mode, to take it and flash it ??
Is there anyway for me to completely redo the whole set of procedures, putting my phone to a sane state, fully working state with old 4.04 running on it ??
Later, adding to the list of risks, I tried the below command to flash all the contents in the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip file after all the above procedures.
" fastboot flash system FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip "
I see that it succeeds in flashing too, but didnt boot up.
Help me to proceed now.

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.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery
