[Q] Xperia S with broken volume rocker into flashmode - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Sorry if this is a stupid question and all but I recently flashed cm10 onto my xperia and crashed and decided to stop booting at the cyanogen screen. Apparently I've found that the volume up button was broken (hardware problem). The weird thing is that I can get into fastboot just by plugging in the usb without any buttons at all with the blue LED but I can't enter flashmode even with volume down and all. Can anyone give me a solution to this please? I just want to get everything back to original and claim my warranty for that volume rocker :crying:

what happens when you flash another kernel via fastboot?
you need the flashtool (and flashmode) to relock the the bootloader. you can install another kernel via fastboot

I do have flashtool and it says i have no drivers installed thou and I've tried reinstalling every driver I can find on the list but it's still the same. I've tried a couple of kernels but I can't enter flash mode too... Or is there a way where I can just flash another ROM without the recovery just by fastboot? Or any other solution at all?

fastboot drivers worked before? somewhere in the dev section is a thread with working drivers for windows.
you can flash whole firmwares over fastboot
cmd:
fastboot flash system firmware
i did this with krabs kasspeed 8 back when i started with custom roms

you don't need to use krabs sspeed8. i just stated this, because i did it that way at the start of my rooting experience
you can try to flash sspeed25 with advancedstock kernel
fastboot flash boot advancedstockkernel
fastboot flash system sspeed25

Boot loop, no device found error, can't do anything

Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:
Thanks

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me
Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.
Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

Are you flashing the boot.img first in fast boot then flashing the ROM?

Wow thank you so much! You are a life saver I didn't know something so simple I missed out on and when I had been getting instructions from devs to flash custom roms, they didn't even tell us to even flash boot.img or maybe I was thinking it was not important. Wow thank you so much! CM 10 Alpha 11 is working properly and now I learnt a lesson to flash boot.img.
On a final note, if I want my stock RUU radio back, do I need to get boot,img from anywhere or am I fine. What is boot.img anyways?
Again, Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.

[Q] Can't get in CWM mode.

Hello Guys, i have a huge problem.
I flashed kernel for Mango not for anzu. I mistakened the boot.img file and now my phone is stuck on boot screen.
Tried everything in forums and nothing works for me!
MY phone is rooted (or was, don't know what's now with the phone)
Was bootloader unlocked.
Everything was just fine, but wanted to get another Rom installed and did [Rom][WIP][JB4.2.2][Arc/S/Pro] Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130326, but installed the wrong boot.img
PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Can't get in CWM mode (
* My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode (Entering by powering up and after pink led flash volume up)
In overall :
I got stuck black screen while booting, i guess 2nd boot screen
I get no logos, just black screen.
When adding USB and connecting to PC it shows just Green Led (it's fully charged)
Entering the Fastboot mode or CWM recovery mode (By powering up and after pink led flashes pushing volume up - it gives just a black screen and blue led (fastboot mode, i guess)
What could be the problem?
I've searched for answer about 2 days now, but no progress.
I'm desperate guys, HELP!

I know that with Flashtools in flashmode I can flash Frameworks i guess (.ftf files).
If there is another way to flash with flashmode, then please enlighten me
I saw that there is Roms in zip and in .ftf files.
I want to have a ROM with .zip, but i'll try with .ftf firstly!

There is too many paragraphs!
How can I Change my Kernel, if I can't get in fastboot mode and in Recovery mode.
Only way I see is by flashmode option in Flashtools software.

Hi all
Finally got round to rooting my xperia s and unlocking bootloader with view to installing 4.4.4
Everything has gone fine to the point i tried to install a recvoery
First tried to install TWRP recovery which install went fine but i couldnt get phone in to recvoery so i then installed clockwork mod recovery and still cant get phone in to recvoery.
I installed ROM manager and it shows under recvoery already installed clockworkmod recvoery & TWRP recovery but even when i select boot in to recovery from that phone just turns on as normal.
Have tried holding volume up/down button on sony flash but no good
Have tapped screen when sony logo showing and phone just seems to lock

Which ROM are You trying to flash? If it is a Kitkat ROM as You mentioned, then first copy the ROM and gapps to phone for flashing purposes .
Now, on PC, extract the boot.img from rom zip and flash it via fastboot. Then flash the ROM via twrp which would be installed from that boot.img!

First connect Your phone to pc. Then type this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then Your phone will reboot in fastboot mode(The blue led would be lit.)
If the blue led does not lit up, then disconnect Your phone, power it off. The press volume up button and connect the phone the pc. The phone will have the blue led now.
Then type following command to flash the boot.img:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Do note copy the ROM.zip to phone first and then perform above steps.

Well did that and phone will now only boot to Sony image and just sits on it.
Still cant get in to recovery but can get in to flash mode so tried reflashing this and original firmware but no matter what it just sticks on Sony and wont boot any further than that.
Looks like i got a brick :crying:

You must have not flashed the rom after flashing the boot.img. That's why it used to get stuck on boot logo of Sony. The kernel(boot.img) of any Kitkat ROM won't with JB ROM as far as I know.
Don't worry, there is still hope since You can at least get it to boot up halfway.
That flashing the original ftf is weird. Are You sure the ftf file is proper? Try downloading a new one. or if You were able to successfully able to flash the original firmware according to flashtool, try flashing it again using Sony Update Service(SUS). Can't guarantee the SUS will work or not.

Hello.
I'm trying to get this **** working as well, but even though it seems like you gave some crystal clear instructions I still manage to not understand it. I unlocked the bootloader on my S and downloaded. All I really wanted to do was get a good 4.4 ROM running, any chance you could toss an idiot some help?
From what I understand:
1. copy the ROM zip-file over to phone
2. connect phone to pc and fastboot it
3. flash the boot.img from the rom zip-file
4. flash the ROM (how?)
I did a quick google on twrp but don't quite understand what I need it for or if I need it.
EDIT: After a bit of looking, apparently the ROM I'm looking to flash (Paranoid Android) installs twrp when you flash the boot.img. Just in case that changes anything.
Brick?
Hi. So I just tried to flash the boot.img from the latest Paranoid Android, got 0 errors or bad blocks, succesful flash according to cmd. I did fastboot reboot as the guide here says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866
LED notification goes pink for a few seconds, I get the Sony logo then just an infinite black screen. Left it on for about 15 minutes with no success. I tried force rebooting/shutting it down with volup+power for 5/10 seconds, but both of them just result in the phone getting instantly turned back on and going pink LED->Sony logo->black screen. This means I can't (from what I can tell anyway) boot into fastboot (vol-up+connect to USB does nothing, vol-down+connect to USB gets me a green LED for a few seconds but then goes over to pink LED, Sony logo and then black screen).
I would really appreciate any kind of help right now, even just advice on how to turn this phone off would be fantastic, because right now that also seems impossible.

No worries! If You were able to perform upto step no.3 properly, then when You boot into twrp(Press volume up button 2-3 times while booting up), there is an option there called as "Install". In that You select the zip file of the ROM and slide the bar to install it!

Holy **** this might have just done it! It wasn't actually twrp but CWM I believe, but I did manage to successfully flash the ROM. Seems to be working as of right now so fingers crossed and a massive thank you!

[Q] {Q} Xperia S hard break

Hi,
I've really big problem and i hope that here i get sugestion...
1, I try flash new ROM to my phone. I copy ROM to "SD card" but in wrong version.
After this I into Flashtool get new Kernel and new ver. of TWRecovery. Then I go to recovery and start flashing as every time before...
2, But now I'm in bad sittuation. I can only get into recovery... When i want to go to bootloger, i can't. Every time when I go to bootloger from recovery, i'm back in recovery. Every time is phone reaction the same as I hold power up button+vol. up. And I'm only in recovery.
When I want transfer some ROM to phone, I can't. Cose when I Mount USB massstorage I see phone as "Elementary sys device". I have install ABD device drivers...
Changelog I can't get you, cose it's in "SD card"...
3, Please, Show me "the way" out of this sh*t... I use HTC HD2 few years, all time flashing. Now I use Xperia S for 3 yr. All time flashing. But now I'm in a wrong way ind can't get my phone to standby
Thank you for answers!

Yes, I'm in TWRP, exactly v.2.8.0.1, from topic of your ROM. Bud now I can't connect phone via ABD drivers. I try it via apps and two ways via Commans window.
I'm only in TWRP. I can't get to fastboot, I can't install ROM now, phone reaction is the same as I hold power up+vol up button.
I need one of two ways... 1,get phone connected with PC via fastboot to flash new kernel, boot.img and at least your ROM
2,get phone connected with PC via mass storage, to get some old ROM, flash it and get to fastboot...

Ah apologies, got lost while replying.
Anyways, lets start from basic. Can You try un-installing and installing the fastboot drivers? Because I suspect that's why You are not able to enter into fastboot mode.

Anyways, lets start from basic. Can You try un-installing and installing the fastboot drivers? Because I suspect that's why You are not able to enter into fastboot mode.

Just a sec, what combination do You use to go into bootloader? Power up+volume up? That is not what Yo do, You disconnect the phone from cable, and then turn off the phone. Then just press volume up, and connect the phone. No other button is needed to be pressed.

Apologies, might have missed out Your quote earlier. So You now have ROM and other stuff in the phone. What problem are You facing Now? Also I would recommend the new released version b14c with kernel from b14d of nAOSP.

simply... I get to bootloader as we wrote last. Then I flash kernel, and phone died. Now I can only charge or see a Sony logo. I can ONLY this now. no buttons helps, no different cable/slot/PC helps... I'M only in charging mod, after turn on only logo see. no TWRP, no bootloger.

So You can't even go into bootloader now? That's weird and also makes this a bit complicated! Because You need to be able to go into bootloader mode to flash a new kernel which has recovery. Hope You are pressing only volume while connecting phone to PC. Drivers are fine as You were able to flash a kernel earlier. Which Kernel did You flash first? If You are able to go into bootloader, then flash this kernel via fastboot mode.

Ok, I flash it. But I really can't into bootloader. If I hold vol button, conn cable only red, charging light... Now I really don't know what else.

So You were able to flash the kernel I gave? Then You should be able to boot into CWM recovery. The Kernel logo will be of a Android bot.

Does anyone have a Nandroid Backup I could Use for the Z00AD?

Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.
Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

That's a little hard to do when the device isn't recognized by my PC, and I can't get it to boot into any recovery that isn't Clockwork mod via my PC.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems I ADB recognizes the device with CWM running. Now I gotta see where to go from there.
Now I've encountered problem number 2: I didn't allow USB debugging for the computer I'm using (USB debugging is ticked in the settings [or at least I think it is], but it's not authorized for my PC). So here's the question: Can I authorize it through Minimal ADB and Fastboot?
Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?
Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.

Tried that. Doesn't work. Like I said, it keeps booting into the psudo-recovery mode thing. I can't even boot into the bootloader from there.

that will help you - besides if you are silly enough to think anyone will just give you something like a backup, come on man, I am dumb but even I am not that dumb
Have u tried to boot into Fastboot from your Cm recovery? If not, there is a way to make the stock firmware flushable by twrp or cm recovery. I don't feel like typing the whole process but if u look around the forum for a sec u should find it pretty easily. Once u do that, everything will be factory again.

I have tried booting from CWM, but TWRP overrides it still. I'll look into flashing stock firmware through CWM though.
