What have you done before? Have you tried to install a custom rom? But that's no problem, first you've to reflash the firmware, by doing this:
Download flashtool (can be found in dev section)
Download the firmware .587 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24467321&postcount=1)
Install flashtool
Put the downloaded ftf file into the firmware folder of flashtool (C:\Flashtool\firmwares)
Then start flashtool, click at the flash button, choose the firmware, check "No final verification" and click on Ok
Follow the instructions
If the firmware have been successfully flashed, turn your phone on
Optional: Then you can root it again and install CWM if you want
When you've got a question, just post it :good:

can you please advice how do i update my firmware from .431 to .587?

one post above yours - there is a solution for intall .587

Event after hard reset my phone was still stuck at Sony logo. So, I finally flashed .50 ICS rom using flashtool to bring my phone in working condition nearly after waiting for half an hour. Pcarvalho, can you please help me with this? I really need to root my phone with latest firmware. I am kind of new to all this rooting concepts. I have followed all the steps till Step 5. Please help asap. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I will try with above steps now. But these steps are little different from pcarvalho's steps. Hopefully this will work. Lets see. So, did you mean to wipe data, cache while flashing .55 kernel and baseband?

- Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced -> Fix permissions

but after restarting the device after the flash, it vibrates once and then does nothing. I don't even see the SONY logo. The screen doesn't light up at all.
I was able to fix this by flashing the stock ROM from flashtool.
But did I do something wrong? Is there anyway which I can get the ROM working?

did it say flash successful?

Have you unlocked your bootloader first? If you have then try flashing the kernel from the rom seperately using fastboot. By the way are any other roms with custom kernels working or are they all giving same errors? By the way did you face any error while flashing?

Can you describe how exactly is it "Dead'? Is it not booting or even responding to hard reset (Pressing Vol Up + Power Buttons for 10-15 secs)? Are you able to get fastboot or adb access to your phone?

Hi, I am New to Xda.
Hi,
I am not a dev. But Love towards my Xperia SL made me a mini-dev LOL. I have succesfully fixed a developing ROM from Carbon(kitkat 4.4.4) . I would like to upload it to Xda and help poor teens like me (I am just 15) still stuck with SL. I renamed my ROM as ASTERISK. Can someone tell me how to upload a new rom to Xda.
Thanks in advance,

Xperia S and SL are same hardware, so what ever works on Xperia S works on Xperia SL, and given that there is Nougat ROM available, I wouldn't say that it is stuck. You should ask the developer of the Carbon ROM if You can upload a modified one.

search this. clockwork mod recovery for xperia s in xda. It will take you to cwm by doomlord. follow the steps there. Installation of cwm is different for xperia phones. There is no separate recovery partition. As of now Doomlord has compiled a nice cwm recovery for xperia s and just follow the instructions there and flash the kernel.elf file as per the instructions given there

I'm using Xperia S, bootloader unlocked and rooted using FlashTool.
I have installed RecoverX tool and it runs without problems. However, I'm not able to get into the recovery mode. Why??

It's should work. If you worry, make backup in cwm then wipe and flash your rom. So if there an error u can restore at any time..
