I have installed CyanogenMod 11 custom rom to my Xperia Arc S. After flashing boot.img through flashtool, device got shutdown. Till now everything was fine. But after this the tutorial said to start the phone and after the phone vibrates, start pressing the volume down button. I did the same. But after vibration, phone is not showing anything. It shows dim light on screen but its not showing either the logo nor its starting. The LED light on side turns to purple but nothing happens after that. I did this with every button but its not starting. Pls halp me out....
Thanks...

Did you flash the kernel for your device?

Tell more about this. How did you do it, what happened, what buttons did you press etc etc.
Yes. I have installed kernel for it via flashtool. Initially after doing this it was not going to recovery mode and also it was not getting connected to flashtool. But now it is getting connected to flashtool in fastboot mode. So tried to flashing with 10.2 version, it showing finished but again the same problem. Its not going to recovery mod.
as in, HOW did you flash the kernel exactly. Dont just say you used flashtool, how did you use it? What combination did you use to get into fastboot? Any errors in flashtool? How did you boot into recovery (I.e. which keys did you press) and does the LX kernel logo even appear on boot?

First check does that kernel has built in recovery...If nothing works,to get your phobe to work flash stock .ftf file with flashtool.
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
And try one more thing,when you turn on the phone start pressing volume down (-).)!

I think i have the same problem as OP.
I decided to try out LegacyXperia CM11 and installed it yesterday. It went well, but it is still kinda buggy so i decided to go back to besttt's Slim Bean. I copied rom files on SD card and went to flash kernel (darkanzuEOL). I flashed it through Flashtool like every other time and it went without errors so i proceeded to boot into recovery so i can flash the rom. This is where everything stopped working normally. After i power on the phone and press voldown to enter cwm it just gets stuck on cwm loading screen. If i dont try to get into recovery it just bootloops. I tried several kernels i have on my HDD and always the same result.
I'm downloading stock img to flash and see if that will help. will let you know what happens.
EDIT:
Stock img worked, now i'm back on slim. Only other thing i changed ( which i think is the cause) is i used original sony usb cabel instead of my Nexus 7's i used originaly

Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I have been lingering around XDA particularly in Xperia S android development forum.
Today, I'm having a problem with my XS that it won't start up after i've done a few things related to installing new ROM in it. I'm not sure if it's bricked or anything but here's the full story and please tell me after reading:
My phone is as follows:
Xperia S
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted
1) I was in my Recovery Mode (not TWRP as I was using a 4.1.2 JB ROM before) with a ROM installed.
2) Wiped Cache
3) Install ROM from SD Card
4) Successfully went through the ROM install wizard and installed it perfectly. I could've just used the ROM as usual but suddenly..
5) Then I went into Settings, I decided to do a Factory Reset (With wiping the internal storage too) <--- I thought doing this would only reset the current recently installed ROM and not wipe the ROM itself)
6) It reboots and bring me to the Recovery Mode page
7) I chose reboot my phone now option
8) It rebooted with the SONY logo on for a while
9) And then the triangle settings logo with a spanner and screwdriver logo show up. The screen stayed for a while like 20 seconds
10) And then it goes black..... and I can't get it start ever again (yet)
I don't know what on earth was I thinking doing a factory reset... that was dumb of me
That's how the story went... what should I do?
I've tried:
Holding the power button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding the vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding both power+vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Connecting the phone to laptop using USB to see if it is detected by my laptop but no nothing happened though (I did not press any button while connected)
Enter FLASHMODE using the proper way (using flashtool and everything) but fruitless
Charging so that the Red LED comes out when phone runs out battery and resetted. But so far still nothing (6 hours+ charging)
So at this point what has happened to my phone? Is this considered 'bricked'? Is it over for my phone now? Can I do anything to get it back running? Please help.
Thank you so much in advance for reading and helping me out.

Have you tried to enter in FASTBOOT mode and flash a new recovery?

chill dude, dont panic, this was happened with me too a month ago, here what i did, i downlaod the .96 ftf file and flashed it in fastboot mode, in my situation, phone was on bootloop and your phone is turnning off so you can get into the fastboot easily,
have u tried sony update service? i broke my hp too... then i realised that i can actually use sony update service and press the volume down button and plug in my hp and update my fw to the original sony fw. hope this method helps for u.
Chill.
Alright dude, so chill. I recommend you to download Sony PC companion software and click on "Repair my device" from there. Then, you just have to follow the instructions and it should work. Tell me if it hasn't, I will help you

Would this work with a unlocked bootloader and rooted SXS?? Having problems with my data partition because I think it's corrupted. But I can still use my phone if it doesn't shut down the normal way.

Hi, i had C6506 running kitkat .230.
Then, I tried flashing C6502 kitkat .230 India version because I've read that this version does not contains many bugs.
After flashing done, I flash 78kernel for kitkat right away. My phone boots up but then stuck on the lockscreen. I can swipe to unlock but then it hangs and reboot itself. OR, i can hold the power button and shut down manually.
I decided to reflash my previous kitkat FW but now it shows the error:
Processing loader.sin
Checking header
ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
INFO - Ending flash session

I tried other FWs as well but still the same problem.
i tried connecting the phone via flashmode but I can see the LED flashes RED then GREEN then OFF.
When I try using SEUS, when it tell me to connect the phone via flashmode, I plug the USB cable while holding Vol (-) but nothing happens
I'm desperate guys. Can anyone help me?
Flastboot mode can still be entered normally, flashing kernel as normal.
(I'm using latest version of flashtool and proper drivers)

The LED red the green then of is normal for me! I get it every time i flash ftf so when you get it too flash the ftf without worry about
I didn't think it was ever OK to flash a C6502 FTF to a C6506.. is this correct? (I tried this once some time last year and it just resulted in freezing on the Sony logo so I never did it again)
THanks guys! After some hours of irritating trial with various methods, I;ve managed to flash the stock c6506 FW. I dont even know how I got it to work
Hi. I have an R800i which I rooted some time ago. Up until recently it has been running ICS with a Lupus kernel. I then flashed 2.3.3 UK ftf from here and it seemed to work. It prompted me for an OTA update and I started it. After downloading the update and rebooted, the phone displayed a black screen and a progress bar (nothing odd, seemed as though it was updating) and after a couple of minutes it turned off. Since then I haven't been able to turn the phone back on. I would press the power button and all it would do is briefly flash the green LED and vibrate, but that's about it. If I would hold the power button it would do that every couple of seconds. I cannot access the recovery menu either. It may be worth noting that by connecting the phone to my PC it would start in flashmode (blank screen), so I tried reflashing the same (and some other) ROMs using Flashtool but with the same result. Up until now, flashing ftfs through Flashtool seems to be the only thing I can still do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your help.
The cyanogenmod wiki has a mistake(or software bug in CM11) in its installation instruction for xperia m. To go to the clockworkmod menu I had to press the volume rockers after the light at the bottom turned pink and stop pressing them when the light turns light blue(a bit greenish). If I keep pressing the volume before that then it seems that the phone goes into a bootloop .
How ever i was not able to recover the official rom of sony.But i did manage to install the nightly build for CM11 .
But the phone now seems to be a little bit warmer than it used to be while using wifi. Is it ok?
Thanks again in advance.

Hi guys,
I rooted my Xperia t2 ultra dual and then flashed twrp recovery. Everything was working fine bt early this morning i flashed a wrong img file. It showed me flash completed. Then i rebooted my device. Thats it. It stoppwd working right here. When i connect it to charger a red led light keeps on blinking. So i thought to flash using flashtool. After downloading the ftf file, i tried to flash. When i connect the usb while holding vol down key. it does not connect as flashmode but fast boot mode. Works with the vol up key. While trying with vol down.key, first a red lihht continues with a sort green light then nothing shows up. My device cant even go to boot menu. Got no ideas. Hlp me frnds..
Thanks in advance.
Did you get any solutions?
I am facing a very similar situation... hence please post any solutions that you find.
Thanks!
