Hi,
I am trying to update my Acro S to JB, but when I keep volume down key and plug in USB cable, phone is showing green light, Windows is saying that USB device is not recognized, and then phone is switching off, going to a charge mode. This is happening with PCC and SUS. Was googling this problem last 3 days, without any success. Any ideas?

Hello,
So, regarding the current state of my phone:
This is an Xperia Arc S LT18i
I can't seem to turn it on at all. I can't try to connect it in fastboot because holding the home button down and connecting it does nothing, but loading it in flash mode seems to work.
When plugged into the computer via USB the led light by the connection port lights up solid green. When I plug it into an adapter, the LED just blinks green. I get this same blinking when I hold down the power button.
Speaking with Sony Customer support they believe it's a battery problem. I've ordered a new battery due to arrive friday or saturday. Checking online, however, this seems to be similar to the FOTA Bricking problem that Arc users experience - however, the difference being I can neither send it in (as Customer support claims they cannot fix it in the US) nor was I running the same version of android. Before my phone was bricked I had flashed it to ICS and stupidly accepted an update, after which my phone shut down and was left in its current state.
Flashing it does nothing, even worse PC Companion won't repair it as the phone's been tinkered with, and I'm entirely lost as to what to do. If it's just a battery problem I'll be overjoyed, but this clearly doesnt seem like a battery problem to me.
Please help!
Edit: Also, the FOTA fix link is dead...
For fastboot hold the menu button down whilst connecting, holding home won't do anything

Its not a battery issue for sure.
Do this.
Download and flash only the stock kernel (ICS or GB) and then flash 4.1.B.0.587(ICS) or 4.0.2.A.0.69 (GB) ftf in flashtool
If u flash GB kernel then flash GB.ftf in flashtool, If u flash ics kernel then flash any ics ftf in flashtool...That shud work
So I just flashed my Xperia s to 4.1.2, version 6.2.B.0.200 in order to try out Trinity Vengeance RaptorXT v2.2 but the servers are down to download the rom. So after looking about I found an different version "Trinity Ultimate Kernel RipJawsZ Edition V2.2A TUX" so I downloaded it from here followed all the steps from here. Phone then switched off and I havent been able to get it back on since.
I have tried a hard reset holding power + volume up + volume down until it vibrates 3 times in succession but nothing.
Tried plugging it into PC but no led light appears.
I really dont know what to do.
Thank you to anyone that can help.
Edit: If I hold the volume down button while phone is plugged into PC the LED flashes green and a noise is made by PC as if a device has been plugged into PC but no pop-ups or notifications appear. After pulling out usb from pc whilst LED was on windows installed SEMC flash device.
Solved reflashed it to JB whilst green light was flashing and it came back on!
Hey guys, was using my xperia ion and downloading some stuff and the battery was low and it turned off. I plugged it back into the charger the normal red light showed up. My power button is broken so i have to press the volume up key while i connect it to charger and phone thinks its connected to a computer in flashmode and boots up but this time it didn't boot up. I tried doing it again and again and nothing happened . Then i connected it again and no LED was there. Since then i'm trying to put it to charge.LED is not turning on and neither is the phone turning on. I don't know what happened. Can u help me ?
My phone was on Stock 4.1.2 and was rooted without a recovery and was working absolutely fine before it turned off. Please help i really need the phone up soon it had my projects and yeah one more thing. When i connect my phone as it is it shows SEMC flash device in Device manager without pressing any button. What do i do now ?
Hey, guys I need some help here. Please, I need it so bad.
I bought my Xperia Z1 Compact about a month ago, and today when I was updating my apps suddenly it turned off. Then, I turn it on again but it keeps restarting after it showed the Sony Logo. As same that it did when I tried to charge it plus the red LED blinking. So I decided to hard restart it using the PC Companion through the update software menu. After following the instructions, I turned on my phone and it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo. I did the hard restart using PC companion several times. But, it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo.
And now, when I press the power button, it only vibrate and not showing anything on the screen. When I tried to charge it, the red LED keeps blinking over.
I need your help, I don;t know what I must do now. So please, help me.

If you didn't unlock the bootloader and if you didn't root it, just take it back, as you still have a warranty... You'll get new one...
Use flashtool to download the official ROM for your model and if you want to, region. Follow its instructions to flash the ROM. To enter flash mode, hold power+vol up until it vibrates for 3 times to shut it off and when flashtool instructs you to turn it on, hold vol down and connect the USB cable.

Have you tried to leave it charging overnight? Maybe the battery is just realy low.

Did you try to run the sony pc companion software with the phone plugged in to a computer? I don't know if the phone needs to be turned on for it to be recognized, or if pc companion works with unlocked bootloader. But if it can be recognized by pc companion then you could reinstall stock firmware which might get you some progress (but would lose info on phone).
