Stuck on Sony Logo (help please)

Hi I think I have bricked my phone, and I am looking for some help please I rooted and intalled CWM on a unlocked bootloader Xperia Arc S lt18i
This morning I flashed Beautiful ics 4.2.1 via CWM after doing all the wipes date, cache,dalvik,battery and then installed the rom.
When my phone came back on no led lights flashed and the sony logo is stuck on the screen. I have tried going in to recovery by holing down power button and pressing the volume down button but it doesn't work. I have tried connecting phone to my laptop but it doesn't see it any more.
I don't know what else to try,
Any help please.
Best install stock firmware by using Flashtool (or flash custom kernel so you have root already) and start all over again.
Be sure you wipe everything before flashing a new rom.

I had exactly the same problem with this rom but with stock .587 fw on locked bl. Installed it using method for installing Ultimate HD rom (Wipe Data/Factory Reset; Mounts and Storage --> Format /System; Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats; Install zip from SD card) and it worked fine.

Xperia S Doesn't boot up.

I'm Using XPERIA S and installed AC!D soundmod(im using 4.1.2 hei1125 rom) and my phone doesn't boot up, is there anyway to go into recovery? it only shows jelly bean logo and then freezes. I'm really desperate, please help
I assumed you have CWM baked in your phone....Restart your phone, after the Sony logo cam out, tap on it many times until booted into CWM recovery
But there is no sony logo. Im using custom rom as i mentioned before. The only logo i see is that Jelly bean "bean"
Tapping on that doesn't do anything. i tried to boot into recovery in ADB also. cmd says device not found unfortunately :S
Re-locked bootloader and flashed on OFW. This story found happy ending. Thanks to y'all! Raunts

[Q] HELP What should i do? if i got stock in TWRP recovery

Guys what should i do if my r800i got stock in TWRP recovery of "LuPuS-PLAY-jbv8-720"? Please help. :crying:
You mean stuck? Is this on the main screen on TWRP or was you trying to do something?
Does CWM work (Press vol - instead of vol + on boot)?
If it's stuck in TWRP recovery just take out the battery
Also you should use CWM if you're having problems with TWRP, hold down the other volume button on boot to access it
Yes sir i mean it stuck when after i flash turbo v1.3 and LupusJBV8 i got stock..

Bravo, RTFM, guys! Turbo and Lupus use custom partition layouts, but rheyre different. To move from stock or turbo to lupus or vice versa make CWM backup, flash new kernel, restore backup.
bootloop Xperia Arc S LuPuS anzu Stock-gB+iCsv16-full and xperia ultimate hd 4.0.
Hi, I have a similar problem with LuPuS anzu Stock-gB+iCsv16-full and xperia ultimate hd 4.0.
Xperia Arc S - Unlock Bootloader -
I installed kernel and the Flashed the ROM and then it went to bootloop i can access to the CWM but it just show the screen whit the logo and nothing else, no options, nothing. also i can't get into the flashboot when i try to flash a new kernel or ROM with flashtools it doesn't recognize the device because when i insert the cable the bootloop starts automatically and as i said flashtools and windows don't recognize the device i'm a little worried because most of the unbrick tutorials rely on getting into flash boot mode
hope you can help me

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?
You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

Try pressing back key instead of volume down. This will work.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery

HELP! Acro S Sony logo bootloop

Hi All,
Sorry for the noob post, first time 'modding' my Acro S, but I have flashed lots of rom's on my old Xperia X10.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery today, and since doing that I have not been able to boot my phone past the Sony logo, it just reboots. I have tried to install a couple of ROM's but neither boot (Existenz Ultra & Emerald Smooth. Emerald Smooth fails with status 7 error, Existenz Ultra says it installs but still no boot. Also tried Honami rom but download always fails between 89% and 92%, tried 3 times). i also can't power off the phone, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried to repair my phone with PC Companion but it won't work due to the unlocked bootloader.
I would really like to install a stable custom rom as I found the stock rom had alot of lag, but at this stage I just want to get the phone working again! Can anyone guide me to which kernel files to install which include the latest cwm, how to install them and suggestions of which rom to use?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
To turn off your device, press and hold the volume up+power button combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be powered off. You can now connect it to your pc in flash mode. Please use Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the stock rom as your bootloader is unlocked. Once the flash procedure is complete, normally turn on your device and it should boot up properly. After that, you will have to flash a custom kernel like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309117
Then you can flash any custom rom in cwm.

Thankyou!! Do you happen to have a link to the stock JB rom for 6.2.B.1.96? I could only find ICS or earlier builds of JB....
