You can not reinstall the firmware from flashtool?, According to me, you do not need anything but remove the battery and hold the "back" down to start the installation.
Try different usb cable. Try usb at back usb port of motherboard. Reinstall drivers for PC. Restart to fastboot from flashtool.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
Is your back and search button working at all in g2j ROM?

Hi, so I just bought a Xperia S and before doing anything thought I should set a Pattern Lock for security, so I did and now I cant remember the pattern... I bought the phone second hand and so have no guarantee or anything and need a way to get in.
I hadn't even put my Gmail details in yet so thats no use, I haven't installed any recovery or CWM and there is none on there as stock. And USB debugging is turned of...
Ive tried several things ive seen on here but its no use as I cannot use ADB without USB debugging.
Is there any way to get into the phone, past the pattern lock, even for just a second so I can turn on USB debugging, or is there another way to turn it on?
Or does anybody have any other solutions such as ways I can flash CWM onto the device without debugging. As it is a new phone for me I would obviously be happy to erase the data if necessary, I wonder if theres a way to completely erase and reinstall android?
Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks
Dude,
You could try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
In theory it should work.

I don't believe there is a stock recovery... but if there is, as I see you have the same phone, how do I get to it?

Hi, the hard reset didnt work, but i'm keen to try the other idea but not sure where to get that FTF firmware from and will this work without USB debugging?

Dude,
Sorry I forgot that there is no stock recovery, I havn't ran stock on my XS for a while.
You can try using SEUS to flash the current stock firmware, this will erase all data on the phone and be like it was out of the box.
Hope it helps

ok so the first step download ftf from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422053 then download flashtool from here http://www.flashtool.net/download.php and install it's drivers from it's DRIVER FOLDER and install adb driver(search on the net about it). then search the internet about flashing ftf using flashtool, if you need i will write the whole method. http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons in this page they told old you about gettting into the fastboot by pressing volume up button and plugging the usb at the sametime. then tell me what's wrong or it worked

so where are you now? led on phone is working when you enter into the fastboot mode? what happens in flashtool when you plug the phone? the main problem is i dont know how these things work on mac. i do all this stuff on windows, if you can borrow windows pc form someone that would be easier and faster, see this video, it is the method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BmnrFduUPI .

when you intall flash tool, there will be folder called drivers in flashtool's intallation directory like in the first pic, it contains flastboot drivers, xperia s drivers and flashmode drivers. and about the youtube video, just learn the method from it dont do anyting from video, ok?

There is no drivers folder in my download, its just the actual fastboot program, I guess the download is different in the mac version... when I plug into fastboot, nothing happens... fastboot continues to ask for a device to be plugged in. The phone does show the charging icon and the led comes on but only to show the phone is charging, just like if you plug it in at any other time... I don't know where would borrow a windows pc from... are there any other ways of doing this?

Is anybody interested in buying a Pattern Locked Xperia S? Im hoping to get a Z instead and so would love to sell this phone.

With what did you try to upgrade and how? It seems your update has gone wrong, as you state, it got terminated in the middle? Probably if you connect through fastboot, or flashtool for windows, you can put in a new kernel and the rom. It seems your phones kernel is broken too. It should be fine once you install a new kernel and rom.
For how to do that please look at one of the tutorials here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
Hope it'll work out for you.

Your Phone is NOT bricked
Hello there,
I think i have a solution to your problem and the answer is ( just follow what i say)
1) Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool from here.
2) Then install it on your PC , later install Fastboot and Flashtool Drivers (the .exe file will be there in c:\flashtool\flashtool drivers,u need not download separately) , as u are using Sony Xperia M , Check Flashtool drivers , Fastboot Drivers and Drivers for Xperia P,S when prompted.
3) Download the .FTF file of your Phone. Google it u"ll find it in no time
4)Then open Flashtool and Connect your Phone in Flashmode Mode ( by holding Volume Down button ,check for ur phone )
5) Search for the .FTFfile u"ve downloaded , Do check Wipe cache and data checkboxes and then click Flash, plz wait for the Flashtool to detect and prepare your files for Flashing
That's it , Now your Phone will work like never before
Plz tell me if it worked or not coz it worked for me and i am sure it will work for u too. i use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004
Hit thanks if it helped:good::good::laugh::laugh:

Try pulling the battery out, replacing it and hold power and volume up to enter download mode. Then perhaps flashtool should work.

You're really giving us next to no information whatsoever. You need to tell us exactly everything you have done to your phone. We MAY be able to help you then. RIght now you're just shouting "it" isn't working and we just have to guess what happened.
So make us a timeline how you screwed up, tell us everything about what you did and then come back.
