My xperia S got bricked. I haven't changed anything from the stock. I need to recover it.
stock ROM
bootloader not unlocked.
red LED glows. battery doesn't charge.
every 10 mins, the phone tries to boot-up, but only black screen (with backlight). Once the battery drains, it goes back to red LED. charge stays for 2~3 mins.
Things I have tried.
1. Flashtool - Unable to get into flash mode.
2. Fastboot - Able to get into fastboot mode. BLUE LED comes up. But since its an UNROOTED phone, unable to flash the kernel. Flashtool logs says so.
3. I followed the detailed "{RECOVER SOFT-brick}[2012 XPERIA's]Recover ALL 2012 XPERIAs from SOFT-brick" tutorial. No luck.
What I want help with
1. Can I recover the phone through fastboot? Even if my phone is not rooted?
Hope someone can guide me.
I dont think you can use fastboot on locked BL, wish you luck

thank you. so fastboot without an unlocked BL is pretty much a dead end, I suppose. Would you recommend some other steps which I can try?

I have no idea since you folowed the thread about bricking and etc.. I dont know if you tryed hard reset? Power + volume up till 3 time vibrates, or try to instal CWM if you can even without root, if i think if somethin ill let you know, sadly im startin to suspect that XS generaly is a bit deffective product,considering so many bricked pieces,..good luck

Exactly, there HAS to be a defect in the model. I remember that Chainfire found a defect in the Galaxy S3 which caused the phone to brick itself after 6 months. Samsung acknowledged the bug and fixed it. Eagerly hoping that someone does that for our phones too. Maybe DoomLord will come up with something..

Hey, surprisingly I was able to get into flashmode and I followed to flash the kernal with a stock image. But it did not work. Following is the log.

Anyone faced the same error? Is this a good enough point to work with?
About the GREEN LED while flashing, will it keep glowing throughout the flashing process?
Thanks mate, I was reading and trying that thread all day yesterday.

Don't worry, your phone is almost recovered!!
Just read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36605155
It is a problem in loader.sin, so I suggest that you download this ftf - http://ni.0a0.in/files/3432_kznsa/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG Generic (1257-6921).zip
Extract the zip to get the ftf. The led will remain green thorughtout the process.

There is good news and bad news.
Good news is successfully flashed new stock ROM into the xperia
Bad news is that it still not switching on.. It is stuck at "Black screen with backlight on, bootloops with RED LED". No screen at all.
Considering the chances, do you know how I can identify if its a faulty screen issue? Anyone came across that?

The second last line says " For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings", I don't know if this means that the flash was unsuccessful.

The second last line says " For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings", I don't know if this means that the flash was unsuccessful.

Yes, the flash was successful. Device should have booted normally now.
To be completly honest im quite noob, im not a dev or anything like that, i just tried to help with knolege asimilated from xda by reading threads,
Im hardly a litlle advanced user considering the average people which dont root and presonalizin their phones, and thats all,
Glad if i helped a bit, but better listen devs and see if they can resolve your trouble, good luck
I am convinced that this is a major flaw/defect in the Xperia S model. I am very much determined to find out why these bricking incidents are occuring.
Make sure u have ticked all wipe data,cache & all other unchecked.The phone will definitely boot

Hi folks, I'd really **** up
I'm on LT26i with .211 and Locked Bootloader
I install doomkernel and when finish the install a message says "success" (or something), then turn off, and never turn on, now the phone is dead
If I press power + volumen up, it does a vibration but dont turn on
If I press power - volumen down, led turn green, but dont turn on
when I made the install, the battery level was too low, but i've plugged to wall power
There is something that I can do? or just drop my phone to the trash?
well... thanks in advance

Hi,
It's been a while since I flashed/rooted a phone. I'm fixing my nephew's LT26w which got water damage. Got everything on the hardware side working (except the camera key, where the gasket is missing).
It appears that the bootloader is unlocked. I tried to update the device OTA to the .200 update which it automatically found. But I'm getting error messages that the update can't proceed because the device has modified software.
So I tried to get this device back to basic, and then update to the latests ROM, 211 (or 196). I got 200 working on it, but the wifi is just not turning on. It worked on the previous rom. So it's not a hardware failure.
I think that I'm missing a great part of knowledge on ROM compatibility on this device. So maybe there is a specific rom/region/type that can only work stable on this device.
Rooting didn't go successful. I tried the method where you start of with the docomo rom, ADB step 1, 4.0.4 rom, ADB step 2. But that one failed.
I got the flashtools drivers installed properly on Windows 8, and the device has the latest CWM installed. However I can't get CWM to recognize any ZIP files on my SD card.
The device is the following build: LT26 - 1266-3364 - Xperia acro S LT26w/Mobile Phone/TRI/Bla
Can somebody put me on the right track how to proceed?
Thank you!
a little update. After flashing to 200, the battery doesn't seem to hold enough charge and stays at 0%. I just retried flashing it with stock 211. Here's the log:

Now the device won't turn on for the moment. I guess battery depleted again. Showing only red led during charge. Is the flashtool log reliable?
already try hard reset??
hold power + vol up.. wait until 3 vibration..

Tried that already. But it seems that it was a combination of battery and charge failure. Somehow my phone couldn't charge more than 1% with .200 rom. Luckily 1% was just enough to flash the stock 211 rom. After that it depleted, and had to wait three hours again before getting some vital signs from the device. It is now 100% charged and working for the moment without any flaws. I hope the problem remains resolved.
Hello,
After i turned off my xperia m and booted it up again i gained bootloop so I decided to flash stock 4.1 or 4.3 but flashtool reclaimes me with that :

PS: As i try to launch it, after few seconds with normal SONY screen a wild bug appears ( photo included in post ) .
If someone has a solution please respond me as fast as you can I appreciate that a lot !
It seems like there's a problem with the kernel...
I think you have broken NAND memory, see thread about encryption problems.

Any help is most appreciated and I am in quite a desperate situation atm :C Thx.
More info: It won't reach the bootanimation, It's stuck at the SONY logo only.
Device can no longer do offline charging. When doing so, a green and then red flash of LED light comes on. What's happening?! D:
Flashmode is working with the LED turning on expectedly
I really hope this doesn't mean a bricked phone...
EDIT: Okay I found out the problem, I was using Flashtool that was not compatible with the Xperia M... Problem solved.
hello mate, i have the exact problem. Can you please give me the link to the correct/compatible version of the Flashtool? Thanks in advance.
