Yes, I did.
Try this - fastboot flash boot kernelname.img, if you keep reverting back to the Sony logo you're not flashing the kernels correctly.

Can anyone help me, My new Xperia S failed to boot after 10 days of perfect working. It suddenly switched off and upon restart repeatedly "SONY" and "Xperia" keep flashing.
No Warranty
Never fell or slipped
Tried SUS, Software repair
Tried Flash Tool but system not detecting the device.
Can anyone help me out please or is it dead..

Retry with flashtool
Push power button and vol+ for 10 second( until vibrate 3 time) , next connect to pc with vol- buttone pressed and green led will apper. Next flash with flashtool. You're having a bootloop
It's very hard to brick Xperia, bootloader is quite unahackable,

If you have unlocked bootloader flash any kernel with cwm, do wipe cache, dalvick cache, made a factory reset, and reinstall all with flashtool
If bootloader locked, download another stock Rom , when in flashtool tick all the box( also wipe data) , and flash

Its still the same, Irritating and repeating SONY and Xperia logos.
So, you can't even connect your LT26i to your PC? It just powers up and goes into a never-ending bootloop?
Any are you SURE you're connecting your phone to your PC correctly (for FlashTool?)?
Like:
-start FlashTool and select stock FW to flash
-hold vol- (and only vol-, no power or other buttons)
-connect to USB, quickly (have the cable ready, just be quick, but don't be clumsy)
-flash the stock FW
Are you SURE you're doing EXACTLY like that?
Try installing adb drivers and using fastboot, flash the right kernel to sxs , then using cwm, wipe data , dalvik cache and fix permissions. Then reboot.

What are you flashing?
Sounds like a bad kernel problem to me. What rom were you on previously? Did you try flashing that one?

By ROM you mean - the software - It was ICS 4.0.4
6.1.A.2.45
I tried flashing that 2-3 times but nothing happened, how to solve kernel issue?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
Flash that via fastboot and see if it works.
Also why isn't SUS working? Bootloader unlocked?
If u r in ICS, get a proper kernel.elf from net and for jellybean get the right .elf file
.
Seqrch and Download adb drivers along with fast boot from the internet for the Sony xperia s . ( to install adb drivers,
Check a YouTube video on " how to unlock boot loader xperia s part 1" ) use that video to install adb drivers.
see the video on how to open the fast boot command window.
Then with the right elf file (kernel) in the same folder as the fast boot, type fastboot boot flash kernel.elf
After u get a "done" message, type fastboot reboot
Then access the CWM by holding volume up button during boot(in the beginning)

Pull your battery. Put it again. Do a key combination to go into recovery mode. Restore your backup or flash that rom again. Simple.

It is dangerous to open XS's back...
Just press power + vol up until 3 vibrations.
If you really can't go into recovery, use flashtool to flash stock ftf.

So I made a stupid mistake but know where. This is not my first time to flash roms and karnels, but don't know where did I go wrong...
So here goes the story:
I had Racing Bean for a while and then I decided to change so I wanted to try the new Kit Kat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545367
First I went back to stock 0.587 (because I never did before) and then I forgot to install recoveryX.
After that I flashed the karnel (nAa karnel)
So now I can't go in to recovery to install the rom and wipe the system
I tried.
Volume Down
Volume Down + Home
Home + (Connecting the cable)
Volume Up + Connecting the cable
Maybe something more but can't remember
What should I do? Thanks in advance
ARC S (LT18i)
BTW: When the legacy logo loads a purple light blinks but nothing...
Well if you have flashed the kernel you should be able to boot to recovery... Turn on phone...as soon as logo comes keep pressing any button... The purple led will change to blue and it should take you to recovery...

Usually kernel is inside the Rom (zip file) when u download, u should go with that kernel for best compatibility.
copy the zip file to sdcard
extract the zip to get .img file, flash your device with that file.
enter the recovery and install the zip file u copied
wipe cache, data ...
install gapps if u want
wipe again
reboot

The problem is I can't enter the revovery mode, it's really strange..
The logo starts to load (vibrates) and the purple light blinks and it's gone, so now stuck again.....
Thank you all
Never had this case.... I will wait for a while because of the first boot but didn't have this problem before.....
BTW: I use the V. Down to go in recovery (CWM 5 installed before this!!)
EDIT:
1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Should I try this? One thing to check how do you go to bootloader on arc s (flashmod?)
