AW: [Q] xperia s totally dead
If you are able to access cwm recovery you easily can flash the old kernel.
If not then you have to put your xs in fastboot or flashmode. Depending on what you wanna flash.
After that use flashtool to flash a system of your choice.

After flashing the AROMA ROM through CWM, my phone rebooted and does not show any Sony logo. Only black screen. If I press the power on button, the phone vibrates. ANY IDEAS? I'm panicking like hell... :crying:
Don't panic mate, that is why we are here for you . Maybe you have done something wrong while flashing the ROM or the ROM you flashed is just not a good ROM. Try to flash to another ROM (I don't know if your phone still goes to flash mode).
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
The problem is that I don't see any screen. I can't enter CWM. The only option I'm having is flashing FTF through Flashtool. Will tell what's up asap. In the meantime, please try to help more! Thanks.
Okay, luckily I managed to make it work after flashing the stock FTF file through Flashtool. I thought I was about to die! :crying: :laugh:
You can flash back to stock ROM with the new Sony flashtool. You only need to get into root mode (green led) by keeping the volume down button pushed and at the same time connecting the phone to you pc by usb.
Or you can just go to this link and watch the video : http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/
P.S this process can't be messed up with... Only if you disconnect your phone while flashing xD

You Need to start over from stock. See the recovery thread in my signature. Don't worry you can fix your phone. Your not the first one to do this. Just read every thing in the first post.

Read the charging cycle section of the OP. You may have missed chances. If you get red led try plugging into a computer and look for bootloops. Fastboot flash a complete Rom with kernel. Try soft reset between loops. Also try holding volume up button during loops to get to fastboot.

Try to flash another kernel.When the phone is switched off, press the menu button and plugin the usb cable.It will start in the fastboot mode.Try to flash a stock kernel with cwm.Also if you need any custom rom zip, you can remove the microsd and put any Installation zip files in it via your computer and install them view CWM

Use Sony's own flash tool called EMMA.
Everything you need can be found from there: http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/12/06/new-flash-tool-from-sony-for-unlocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/
And read every instruction you find. Every single one of them.

Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10
Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

i know unlocking the bootloader didnt cause sony companion to fail i deleted all the software in the "safe list" of bloatware to delete to get more space and one of them was update services.
Thats why i really want to install CM 10

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

Hi, so I tried to flash (using fastboot) DooMsKernel v14, it all looked nice and good,
but after that I tried to restart/enter recovery mode, and nothing happened.
My PLAY only reacts to power button by vibrate, and can enter to fastboot.
I tried to flash it again and flash another ROM (CM9), nothing worked.
Any help please?
Its fairly impossibly to brick the play. Since it can get into fastboot bootloader must be unlocked flash both kernel and Rom to stock.

You have an unlocked bootloader just flash doom the kernel and put a Rom on your sd to install. Then first time you boot you press the back button or the menu one or something.and then doom kernel will let you select a Rom.

Ok, so now I try to root the PLAY again, using OneClickRoot. Only one problem - it gets stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
And I also tried OneClickRoot with my friend`s phone (LG Optimus Black) - same result, stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
Is this OneClickRoot`s problem`s, or it just suppose to take long time, or what?

The firat time you start doomkernel it will seem like your phone is bricked as soon as you press power atart pressing the back button and a screen will come up that will allow you to install a Rom off the sd card. I thought mune was bricked firat time. When doom starts the blue led starts its not flash its just what it does.
1. Turn on the phone
2. Press back button until Rom flashing screen pops up
3. Install Rom from sd
4. Boot rom

Most custom Roms are prerooted, so if you're going to install one anyway, you don't have to root your Play manually.
If you can't flash .ftf through flashtool, you could try another download source, had a similar problem a few months ago, many downloads simply didn't work. And using another USB port on my computer fixed my problem with the flash process getting stuck while flashing with flashtool, was strange, but solved the problem.
By the way, if this .238 is android 2.3.4 it probably can't be rooted, if you want stock rom with root you have to downgrade to 2.3.3
So is it qorking yet?

Well, I'm rooted with .238, but my problem is that google apps don't work - it tries to download apps and then stop the ddownload, without any error (Every app)..
So I thought I would try to install a costum ROM, problem is - I cant install recovery.. Tried a few methods, all didn't work.. 2 option, either I didn't succeed on download and installing the recovery, or I can't boot into it..
Any help pls?
