[Q] I've lost my xperia s? Please, help!

Hi, first of all sorry for my english it isn't quite good. Well, i'll explain what happened to me. I was root but i didn't have the bootloader unlocked. I tried to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041646
I got in CMW and i wipe all and then i installed the NOVA zip. Everything appeared well and i completed the installation. I tried to reboot but the phone don't turns on. When i try to turn it on just vibrate a little but anything appear on the screen and if i try to turn it on with the volume down key, the led turns green for a while at the same time that the phone vibrates. I don't know what to do and i wish that someone could help me, I'm desperated.
Thank you for your time!

Use the Sony flashtool or the pc companion to restore to stock then never flash a Rom of your loader is locked and the Rom is for unlocked loaders

that problem occur because u still have bootloader locked. it need to be unlocked to flash Nova Rom.
now u need to install back stock rom and start again.
1. flash back stock rom using pc companion. (if cannot turn on your phone, try using sony flashtool, i prefer using it, more easy)
2. after stock rom installed, then unlock your bootloader, please refer to sony website on how to unlock bootloader.
3. root and install CWM.
4. flash Nova.zip using CWM.
5. Done

For Sony flashtool he needs unlocked bootloader. So only solution is to try repair with pc companion or to flash stock rom with flashtool by androxyde.

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.
> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Android Development > [KERNEL][PLAY] LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9][LINARO 4.7.3][19-06-13]
It's working fine for me.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.
But i'm sure that Emma (son'ys flashtool for unlocked BL) will work. Here is a link

Try flash ftf file via flash tool or Sony software.
Your explanation is very confusing. Please give detail on what have you did i.e. what version of OS you have before flashing existenz rom, do your boot loader locked or unlocked? etc...

Bootloader unlock my phone.
I installed the file Xperia ZL (C6502)_10.1.1.A.1.253_Generic US 1270-7577 R7A.TFT & Xperia ZL C6502_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic US 1270-7584.tft
Use FlashTool
I'm not English
Translate messages using lose
I press the power button
The phone will start for 3 seconds
After the 3 second Turns off

Your mistake is probably flashing the cyanogen kernel.

How do I erase everything?
Wipe everything؟

Do not install ROM eXistenZ for xperia ZL
Ok..first try locked your bootloader...
SEUS will not restore your phone if you Unlocked bootloader....
And if restoring the phone can't solve your problem, it was because you have experiencing a faulty battery...
You need to send to Sony service center for repair...
If you have warranty, first locked your bootloader then restore your phone with SEUS...

Emma should work, zl is a supported device. Did you unlock your bootloader for sure?

Hold on Power & Up Volume button .. The phone will vibrate 3 times & shutdown.
Use Sony Update Service to Repair your firmware or Download any FTF & flash it via Flashtool
Good Luck!

Hi Sparrow, I was trying to get my Z1C back onto a stock ROM and I managed to that with the Sony PC Companion. Then I tried to flash KK (from http://www.mediafire.com/download/g1mahcm5y8cax2q/D5503_14.3.A.0.681_Generic+UK-nosystem.ftf) with flashtool but now my Z1C is stuck in a boot loop. I tried to use the Sony PC Companion to get it back to stock but now it says "There is no software available for your phone/tablet."
Do you have any suggestions?

Use Sony Update Service (SUS) to restore.

Bricked Xperia M

Hi!
After installing xposed and Wifi Hack for the google play to work on reverse tethering. I used the update/install function on framework pannel. After it the phone simply rebooted itself and now it stops on the boot animation. On the middle of the screen there these color blury lines. PC doesn't recognize the phone. It will charge up the battery but system doesn't even see the phone. (I am using Win7 and a stock rom 4.1.2 JB)

Just reinstall stock firware via flashtool or via sony update service

Your phone is not breaked i think it's just a problem with the rom, you can reflash the current rom (wipe data & everything). If it's important to you to keep the current rom and if you have unlocked Bootloader and have Recovery, then go to the Recovery and flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip located in Internal SD root.

If you already unlocked Bootloader, you can flash a CWM integrated stock kernel from here and flash it via Flashtool or fastboot, then turn on the phon and when LED turns on press Vol+ side buttons to turn the LED blue, then select "Install from Zip" and select Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip . then reboot and thats it!

Flashtool doesn't have Xperia M in “Flashtool-drivers”

Bro in the flashtool driver installer just select the flashmode drivers and xperia p,xperia u drivers because you won't find xperia m drivers in that.
Sent from my C2004 using Tapatalk

Hello Abrakader225,
the easiest way to fix this is to reflash the phone using Sony Update Service or you can use Flashtool to flash a firmware file.
You can find flashtool at this url:
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Simply install it and after that go to the drivers folder of Flashtool and install the Fastboot, Flashmode and device specific drivers. After you've done that, download this FTF file and put it in Flashtools firmware folder:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701246
Then open Flashtool and press the bolt, and then pick Flashmode and select the firmware file, then press flash and put your phone in Flashmode.
I hope that my answer helped you and I hope that you'll get your phone up and running soon, have a great day!

Actually it does, they are listed as "Common drivers Nicky board". It should be the 11th selection down.

if you install the latest flashtool, actually there is xperia m ss and xperia m dual driver:laugh:

Problem solved. Used Sony Update Center. thx to all of you for help
