Did you tried every advice that other users in here gave you? That one with the kernel flashing and then ROM flashing it's actually a good idea.

can i flash kernel using "flashmode" in flash tool ? and where can i find kernel to flash, "fasboot" mode don't work, i think
Open Flashtool, press the lightning button,choose fastboot. Now connect the phone while pressing volume up.
Afterall, if your phone is still dead with the way given above, try to repair it with Sony Update Service (not PC Copanion)
Note that it will wipe your data (internal storage will not be wipe)
if u really wanna keep your data, maybe u can backup with update service
Hi, I have Sony Xperia Arc S LT18l.
Earlier I decided to update to 4.1.b.0.587. I got a picture of an open box with an arrow and 4 dots underneath. Then the screen went blank, so I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed. Now it won't start, only response I'm getting from it is if I hold power button and back button down at the same time when it is not connected to a computer the LED will blink green and the phone will vibrate and go black. If I hold the power button and back button down when connected to the computer the LED turns green and stays green. The computer says device driver unsuccessfully installed, when I click on that a screen will pop up saying my device driver's name is S1Boot Download.
What should I do?
I see, you made a over-the-air upgrade, which is ROM update directly from the phone, either over WiFi or 3G.
Did you have unlocked bootloader? Because if yes, then that is the cause for that issue. To fix this, check the tutorial in my signature on how to unbrick your phone.

Well that is all correct except that I'm not sure whether my bootloader was locked or unlocked, I've had it for about 2 weeks and never fiddled around with bootloader. Is it possible it came unlocked?

Currently, I can only think of one solution: Download Flashtool, download a stock firmware package (aka .FTF file). As you are using Android ICS 4.0.4, then you might want to search for 4.1.B.0.587 or 4.1.B.0.431 build versions.
Checked my files, I found 4.1.B.0.587 for LT18i: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rhr59r4o6oarnfx/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).7z
You will need 7-Zip to extract the FTF from that. Afterwards, install Flashtool, then look into Flashtool folder (by default C:\Flashtool), install drivers (Flashmode drivers). Further on, open up Flashtool, click the lightning button, Flashmode, browse to the FTF file, then make sure to untick "Wipe data", "Wipe cache", "Wipe apps log". By that, you will keep your personal data in your phone and they won't get lost.
If you have any questions, just ask. Once you are finished, let me know of the results.

Ok an update
I tried what you said above again, this time ticking the TA. Everything went smoothly, it said flashing was finished and for me to unplug and start my
phone. The phone vibrates after holding just the power button down for about 2 seconds but remains blank...
Final update
The phone is back to working. I flashed the .ftf in unbrickxperia2011.zip and then flashed 4.1.b.0.431 firmware. Phone is back to normal with no lost data. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi all,
Little bit new here but i am stuck with my sxs.
I had a cm rom running on my phone, i wanted to upgrade it to 9.1 with the intern cm updates of cm. ( no idea which one i had before, something with 4.1.2). the idea behind is becuz i knew 9.1 was a steady rom.
but now my phone wont pass the kernel and if i enter recovery it just freezes.
now i thought i go install a new standard tft with flashtool but i got a error, no idea what it means, maybe you guys can help me out.

check,
drivers installed
usualy not having drivers causes this
also power +volume up may be useful (force turn off)(one buzz then 3)

Not sdk drivers.. Just install PC Companion.. Your drivers will be automatically installed.. And i see your mistake.. Just don't let go of vol up button until flashing starts.. U can notice the progress when % increases.. Until that occurs in your flashtool, don't let go of vol up button.. Hold it..

Did ICS flash successfully? If it didn't then you haven't installed drivers properly.. If only JB isn't flashing properly then its the problem with the file.. try reinstalling flashtool.. uninstall the old one.. reinstall.. reboot your pc.. start fresh.. change usb port and see once..
are you?
1 wifi all data and cache in flashtool?
2 using the same ftf every time u have the problem?

how can i wipe without selecting a tft, i must select it and check the wipe boxes.
proberly i do something wrong but i don't know what.
the flashtool drivers are installed with all the sony xperia s , fastboot and flashmode , pc companion is installed.
EDIT: the strange part is... i can flash LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Generic_(1257-6921).tft with flashtool, with no error.
but i can't flash LT26i_6.1.A.2.45_GENERIC NL.tft or LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World.tft.
and if i flash the 1st one, after its done my phone just remains the same , it shows the custom kernel, its not a sony kernel. its from my previous rom.

i think something is wrong with windows 8 and drivers? but they are all installed.
flashtool drivers -> select all 3 the sxs drivers + fastboot and flashmode. pc companion is installed.
but sometimes i do get the error that pc ( neither pc companion) does not recognize phone.
btw do i have to connect phone when i install flashtool drivers? become 2 out of the 5 wont install becuuse there is no device connected that can be updated says the wizard
EDIT: in windows 7 i get all drivers of flashtool installed succesfully, but the same errors always appears.

Hello their I have a problem with my xperia ion (obviously) I have soft bricked my phone, So heres the story .... i backed up my phone 2 days ago just incase lol . i installed CWM for xperia ion just incase aswell before i installed an app so i can change my fonts and boot animation on my xperia ion. I downloaded and use "Rom Toolbox Pro" and from their on i use the "Boot Animations" app to change the original At&t startup to the Razr M bootup. and after i restarted it , it worked just fine. Then after i went back to the app and went to the Font installer i backed it up as well as my boot animation. I installed a certain font i think it was " " after i restarted the phone , again, it worked perfectly fine , then after a couple uses of the font i got tired of it so i went and hit restore , i didnt know what i was really doing from their. a menu popped up with all these things checked so i went ahead and clicked ok, and it said to restart , so then i did. After it was restarting , upon booting up it would just shutoff or shutdown or do this fading away power off thing as it finished the boot animation. After the third time i did the " soft reset trick" and it still happened again, but by mistakenly doing a ":hard reset trick I think " it just completely vibrated 3 times instead of 1 not realizing and it shutoff. nothing was happened i pressed a few buttons but it still didnt budge. and i read online that to let it die while plugged in to the factory WALL charger. so then i did that.......after a few 15-16 hrs i had a constant red LED light come on and then after another few 2-3 hours there was this red LED blinking i guess? it was as if it was trying to turn on or something. but all i saw was the screen come one but nothing showing and the LED staying on for a few then going out .....so as of right now it stopped doing that. and its now at a constant RED LED LIGHT nothing else. i dont what else to do. i have my Flashtool already good to go with the stock f/w ready to wipe data /cache and everything i guess.
and what did i do that ruined the phone?
How long should it take?
will it change led colors so i can flash it?
so what do i do for now?
edit- my phone has a locked bootloader so I cant use the fastboot method only flashmode method. before when i pressed the power button i would see a red led and then it look like it tried to start , the screen came on but it was pitch black and then it stopped and what it seemed to be that it restarted and it kept doing that. I guess the backlit on& off then repeat and then to Constant RED LED. i only did the soft reset where i jheld the power and volume button and it vibrated 1 time. , it didnt even scan the phone or detect as i connected it to my computer, i can only do the flash mode method only. manually i guess......
Red LED turned on, after a second the screens turns on (just black) for 1 second, red led turns off like screen and 2 seconds red LED is on again and the same start again (with screen and so on). the rubber band is holding down the volume down button. so as of now i started flashtool, flashmode, selected the firmware and when it asked me to plug the phone in, the phones already plugged in, but right Now the computer doesnt detect the phone at all, no sound , no pop nothing in device manager, but its continuing with from the beginning (blinking screen and red LED).......its removed and connected my wall charger and im going to wait overnight for this attempt.
edit- 2 its been a few days im still going with the process of trying to flash my phone through flashtool. I had to keep repeating steps like charge my phone, until the red led goes away and then plugging it into my laptop after a few 0-15 minutes my laptop detects it and it trys to install driver when I already have them installed I guess from Pccampanion and flashtool drivers aswell.
edit- 3
GOD NEWS TODAY!!!!! i let it charge on my laptop and it was at red , so i put flashtool on un plugged my phone ( rubberband was still on it) and when it a pop said to connect it, i plugged in the phone nothing happened after about i guess an hour or 2 i heard a sound and flashtool read the phone and my comptuer tried to install a "SEMC Driver" or something.
but i forgot i had two flashtools installed just in case......... i used the old on 9.1 and i didnt installed drivers dammit ..... im using 9.13 which has it installed

Hello their I have a problem with my xperia ion (obviously) I have soft bricked my phone, So heres the story .... i backed up my phone 2 days ago just incase lol . i installed CWM for xperia ion just incase aswell before i installed an app so i can change my fonts and boot animation on my xperia ion. I downloaded and use "Rom Toolbox Pro" and from their on i use the "Boot Animations" app to change the original At&t startup to the Razr M bootup. and after i restarted it , it worked just fine. Then after i went back to the app and went to the Font installer i backed it up as well as my boot animation. I installed a certain font i think it was " " after i restarted the phone , again, it worked perfectly fine , then after a couple uses of the font i got tired of it so i went and hit restore , i didnt know what i was really doing from their. a menu popped up with all these things checked so i went ahead and clicked ok, and it said to restart , so then i did. After it was restarting , upon booting up it would just shutoff or shutdown or do this fading away power off thing as it finished the boot animation. After the third time i did the " soft reset trick" and it still happened again, but by mistakenly doing a ":hard reset trick I think " it just completely vibrated 3 times instead of 1 not realizing and it shutoff. nothing was happened i pressed a few buttons but it still didnt budge. and i read online that to let it die while plugged in to the factory WALL charger. so then i did that.......after a few 15-16 hrs i had a constant red LED light come on and then after another few 2-3 hours there was this red LED blinking i guess? it was as if it was trying to turn on or something. but all i saw was the screen come one but nothing showing and the LED staying on for a few then going out .....so as of right now it stopped doing that. and its now at a constant RED LED LIGHT nothing else. i dont what else to do. i have my Flashtool already good to go with the stock f/w ready to wipe data /cache and everything i guess.
and what did i do that ruined the phone?
How long should it take?
will it change led colors so i can flash it?
so what do i do for now?
edit- my phone has a locked bootloader so I cant use the fastboot method only flashmode method. before when i pressed the power button i would see a red led and then it look like it tried to start , the screen came on but it was pitch black and then it stopped and what it seemed to be that it restarted and it kept doing that. I guess the backlit on& off then repeat and then to Constant RED LED. i only did the soft reset where i jheld the power and volume button and it vibrated 1 time. , it didnt even scan the phone or detect as i connected it to my computer, i can only do the flash mode method only. manually i guess......
Red LED turned on, after a second the screens turns on (just black) for 1 second, red led turns off like screen and 2 seconds red LED is on again and the same start again (with screen and so on). the rubber band is holding down the volume down button. so as of now i started flashtool, flashmode, selected the firmware and when it asked me to plug the phone in, the phones already plugged in, but right Now the computer doesnt detect the phone at all, no sound , no pop nothing in device manager, but its continuing with from the beginning (blinking screen and red LED).......its removed and connected my wall charger and im going to wait overnight for this attempt.
edit- 2 its been a few days im still going with the process of trying to flash my phone through flashtool. I had to keep repeating steps like charge my phone, until the red led goes away and then plugging it into my laptop after a few 0-15 minutes my laptop detects it and it trys to install driver when I already have them installed I guess from Pccampanion and flashtool drivers aswell.
edit- 3
GOD NEWS TODAY!!!!! i let it charge on my laptop and it was at red , so i put flashtool on un plugged my phone ( rubberband was still on it) and when it a pop said to connect it, i plugged in the phone nothing happened after about i guess an hour or 2 i heard a sound and flashtool read the phone and my comptuer tried to install a "SEMC Driver" or something.
but i forgot i had two flashtools installed just in case......... i used the old on 9.1 and i didnt installed drivers dammit ..... im using 9.13 which has it installed

Hi.....I was wondering where you found the flashtool for xperia ion lt28at. I downloaded a flashtool but its for x8, x10, x10 mini and others but not ion lt28at.
Yep
---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------
Just went through this myself, install the drivers from flashtool, bottom two.(no worry of our device not being in list) then restart computer, mine was boot looping on Sony screen ..that's what you want you are close, rubber band around volume down,plug into rear USB port if possible, flash tool with gingerbread ftf loaded and hit flash and just wait every ten minutes mine would loop but eventually green led hit and started flashing. I was on xp couldn't do anything with 8.1, rogers jellybean took 12 minutes to flash and u only have ten minutes before phone starts charging and shuts off giving error in flash tool.... tried stock att and rogers just didn't have enough time and they failed to flash, ginger was just enough time. Just don't hold volume down for three vibrations again if anything one is all that's needed. Patience and use gingerbread ftf. All you want is it running then flash whatever you want.
I hope you guys can help me revive my xperia S.
I have a strange problem with my phone and can't seem te fix it myself.
I can't boot my phone anymore.
I can get it into flash (green led) and fastboot mode (blue led) and can flash it, but without success.
If I connect my phone to the charger I only get a red led but it doesn't seem to charge.
The phone is recognized in windows and I can lock and unlock my bootloader and see the phone information.
but when I push the power button the only thing that happens is a green led for a second but nothing else.
what rom?
i had the same problem, the only way for me was
flash the stock rom and then root.
This is what emma tells me
Xperia S JB 4.1.2 (build 6.2.B.1.96)
I have been searching for a stock rom, but can't find it.
Do you have a link ?

i think you're flashing an incorrect firmware for your bootloader.
plz download this stock rom and test again
h**p://d-h.st/e0a
if you connect in flashmod, the led is green and stay green?
I can flash this one, but without any change.
When I push the power button the green led flashes just once.
But the enclosure where the cpu is located is getting a little warm, so I think it is doing something.

the green led must stay green.
you use win 8/win 8.1?
you must install the flashboot and fastboot driver.
I found this video
youtube.com/watch?v=gMra0hrZEfk
and it works
The flash ended successful so I don't think there is anything wrong with the drivers but the problem still stays.
when I push the powerbutton only the green led flashes one time nothing else.
But I think it's doing something, beceause the cpu is getting warm.
Is there a hardware diagnose tool for windows ?
