Exclamation mark with phone - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi. I own a Sony xperia as. I was on cm 10.1 RC2 and decided to flash 4.1 stock ftf using flashtool. After many failed attempts I flash yakundu's stock zipaligned and rooted ROM after wiping. But I got the boot animation followed by exclamation mark in a triangle.
Luckily the recovery was still accessible so I reflashed cm 10.1 rc 2.
After this I tried several other 4.1 ROMs like trinity etc but the same thing happens again and again.
Any idea how I can go back to 4.1?
Thanks!

Flashed and waited. The phone just switched off.
Meanwhile tried flashing 10.2 alpha 1 and had no problems.

Did it boot after it turned off
And what did you do when you first saw it
Sent from my Xperia S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Not by itself. I had to do it.

When I first saw it I turned the phone off immediately then booted it again and heaved a sigh of relief when I confirmed that the recovery was working.

Well charge your battey , load a stock kernel and leave it , and if your lucky you may get it to boot
It is part of the kernel, and must not be disturbed otherwise it may result in a hard brick
Or so rumoured

I first had the same exclamation mark when I flashed back the stock .96 rom, and now having it every time I reboot the phone. As well as phone is ok, I started ignoring it.

Guys, I know what he's talking about. He's not talking about the wrench and spanner logo with the bar at the bottom. It's a different image by itself, which just has an exclamation mark with the phone lying under it. Like the dead Android when your flashing goes wrong. Except, all the flashing was successful, it booted through the kernel, but was unable to boot into system. That's what I think is happening. I tried mounting and unmounting and re mounting his system, but nothing worked. In the recovery, flashing is successful, but it's unable to boot into the system.

The poster is my friend and I saw it first hand. I wanted to clarify that it wasn't the flashing logo, and hoped to find a solution from you guys. Gonna try flash tool and see what happens, though.

[Humor] You know your rooted when...

I saw a couple of these threads around xda. Just wanted to share and see what you guys come up with.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1571645
All you do is just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."
Examples:
masaidjet: You know you're rooted when you tell a neighborhood hoe to " wipe her cache "
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone"

Factory reset question

During my latest factory resort I did the whole pus volume up + home + power sequence. When I got to theme boot screen I had all the usual stuff but I noticed that at the bottom was the green android guy laying down with his chest open and a red exclamation mark coming out of it. Is this normal?

and yes it is normal
Thanks. Just leaning about ROMs and what not. Loving this phone.
Thanks again

if you are planning to root your phone, i'd suggest get TWRP recovery instead of CWM, a lot more friendly to use.
Yeah. Soooo many things to choose from now lol

First thing I would try is download the app faster fix from the market. Open it and set your region and see if that helps. If not post in the roms thread to see if others have had a similar issue.

First check to see if the GPS icon is in the toolbar on top when you have maps running, if so then you can try resetting google frameworks and reinstalling maps. If not it's a little deeper problem and you'll need to unroot your phone and install a stock ROM using ODIN. I just went through this, there's a good tutorial on this site just do a search. Once you do that then you can flash root 66 to get your root back and then install whatever rom you want, GPS should be fixed. Interestingly I had the same problem after flashing Wicked so there maybe something in there that's breaking the GPS.

Not sure what he means by resetting the framework??? But go into settings>applications and find Google maps and clear data and cache and see if that helps. Also did you try the app I suggested it really helps

I can't get into clockworkmod recovery.

Hello, I've been stucking at Sony Ericsson logo at the start and can't get into cwm recovery. I try to flash cyanogen 10.1 but it say "installation aborted" so, instead of recovering my stock rom from cwm backup, I chose reboot. Now, I'm stucking at Sony Ericsson logo. Somebody help!! How can I get into Recovery mode again?

It had happen to me as well. Try flashing LuPuS kernel or any other kernel which has inbuilt CWM.
Cheers!
How can I flash them? Please guide me, thanks.

Yes, you can use this flashtool as well. But make sure you find a proper guide for the particular flash tool.
And the above app is not mine. All credit goes to the dev who made it.

You could have saved 30$ if tried downloading and flashing new kernel.
Anyway, the good thing is your phone back to life..cheers!!
Internet Connection here is Damn bad!!
I've been busy with this for two days. Can't concentrate on my work. So 30 $ is worth. Cheers
