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.

Update Service with an unlocked bootloader is a bad idea.

Try this.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Official flashtool to go back to stock rom.
And as the guy above told you, SEUS on unlocked bootloader is a bad thing.

Hi. I have same problem.
Just flashed FreeXperia rom and gapps. Phone wont to power up. Just geting blue led or green.
Any clue? My bootloader is locked.
tried to use official xperia update tool but it wont to recognise my phone (maybe i doing sth wrong :/)

Dude,
As the others have said you cannot install FXP CM10 on a device with a locked bootloader.
As such your device will not boot, your options are to either.
1) use flashtool to flash a stock rom - instuctions how to use flashtool can be found on the forum
2) use Sony update service to flash back to stock - This is the easier option, but all your data will be wiped.
Once the device will boot up, if you still want to use FXP roms then unlock the bootloader first, or try a rom for locked bootloaders.
Either of the above should work for you.

yea phone works again fine on the stock

At least you show others, do not flash custom ROM if it's only for unlocked bootloader.
If you have locked bootloader you can't flash custom kernel and you will stuck in bootloop.

[Q] Please Help xperia acting odd

But after restarting it froze after the boot animation and won't fully boot. But if i press vol up or down the phone makes sounds as if its booted please help or my parents will kill me.:crying:
It also wont boot into recovery no matter what i press or do

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

[Q] PLAY bricked?

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.

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?

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..

[Q] Problem with recovery

So, for a little history about my PLAY's problems - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607723
If you don't want to read all of that thread - long story short, I had flash problem, couldn't boot again, so they told me to flash stock, flashed ReFlash with .238, now I have problems with the google store, so I want to flash a costume ROM (cm 9 or 10).
Now, I tried to install cwm recovery, when I'm trying to boot into it I have blue led for about a second and then it stops, and I just can't boot into recovery mode.
Any help with that?
And about the google store problem - I try to install an app (any app), and I get error (498). Someone knows what is it and what can I do with it?

first of all for using cm10 or cm9 u should have unlocked bootloader then u should change kernel and for entering recovery when the power led turbed to blue press volume down or back button(depend on which kernel u use) for example if u use lupus kernel press volume down for CWM or volume up for TWRP recovery

Dude, I searched, the only way people get blue led for few seconds and then restart is when they're bootloader is locked (main is unlocked).

Flashtool will tell you if your bootloader is unlocked. connect it to flashtool and check the drivers. If it says none under flash/fastboot then it's the drivers doing that. But if you connect to flashtool and it tells you that you need root your bootloader isn't unlocked.
