[Q] [HELP] My xperia s got brick - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I was updated the latest firmware (6.2.b.1.96)with using mac sony bridge.
Then I forgot it was updating and plug out the phone.
It rebooted once, then I tried to plug in back again, it was normal.
After a while the sony bridge notice me some error. Then it won't update.
Then I pressed power + vol+ to reboot the device. Then appear the sony bootloop.
I tried soft reset and hard rest does not work. I unlocked the bootloader.
I put it in the flash mode and connect with the laest flashtool.
It showed my device, and I waited for the firmware .200.
After all the stuff finished. My phone didnot show anything even the sony bootloop.
Phone was rooted with lock bootloader before brick.
Anyone can help me?

Get a rubber band (or 2)
Put it around your xs holding power and volume up and leave it for about 20 mins
Try seeing if you can flash something after waiting

Any instruction for flash ftf?

edit: also you can do this via sony pc companion
support zone>repair device> follow instructions
if that doesnt work try the next method
download flashtool (install)(can be found on xda file server)
download ftf (development section)
place ftf in flashtool/firmware/ (after install of course)
install drivers (can be found on sony website)(maybe developer under downloads
open flashtool
click the lightning bolt (top left)
click flashmode
select your firmware
folow instructions

you need to extract it first, it should be a FTF file format... From there you should be able to use Flashtool

Use flash-mode in flashtool for stock versions of ftf. Not fastboot.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
I tried using the flash mode!!!
My phone remains in the flash mode for about 5-10 seconds & then it goes back to charging!!!!
Make sure the fastboot/any necessary driver are installed....
And when it ask to enter the flashmode,power down your devices,then press volume down button (HOLD) and insert the usb cable,don't let go the volume down button as soon as the cable is inserted in...wait for a few seconds after the green light aka flashmode appeared...

Drivers can be found in the drivers folder of flash tool. Also make sure no other program is using abd. Eg: Sony update software.

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

Try unplug the USB cable from Z1C, turn Z1C off, and while pressing the volume down button re-connect the USB cable to Z1C.

Flash a ftf and start over, and confirm you've actually unlocked your BL. You clearly haven't read instructions properly either, so do that, rushing when you don't know what you're doing makes things worse.

Great!
As for your fastboot problem: After you installed flashtool, did you go into it's folder, then to the "drivers" folder, and install the fastboot driver from there? (it shows you a list of drivers available for install - I believe fastboot is near the bottom?) Note that if you're going to do this on Windows 8, you will need to disable Driver Signature Enforcement

Try flashing a kernel, make sure the Phone is connected to the computer and in fastboot mode before running any commands, reboot both if it still fails and/or try another USB port.

I'm with @XperienceD on this - it's time to pause and do some more reading and research.
That custom kernel you just flashed - what firmware is it based on? It's a good idea to make sure that kernel is compatible with the base system firmware that is currently on your phone.
