Hello there,
I need Help from you all.

I'm using Xperia Play.
recently, i'm trying to change my phone ROM.
But maybe of my mistake i end-up by my phone stuck after SONY ERICSSON logo.
It become Black screen after that ..
so many time i try to make it into cwm but it fail .. i even try pressing vol down , vol up . back , and many other ..
but it wont go to cwm again .
What i do?[when i in cwm to flash rom]
1. i have clear [dalvik,cache,data, and anything that must clear]
2. i mount /system
3. flash rom
4. flash g-apps
5. flash hotspot [fix]
6.reboot
and then . This What Happen.
The worst .
when i plug my phone to pc . The pc can't detect usb debugging [WHEN BLACK SCREEN]
i even not backup anything .. [That is the worst]
OK here the recent try that i done
->>> I try to make my phone into fastboot and it work [by pressing search key then connect to pc /flashtool]
then i pick that thunder image and take fastboot.
I'm trying to flash kernel by this LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full and it said that my phone is UNROOT!!!
*I got some idea: is there some way to make debugging turn on [in fastboot,cmd command,application or anything when it stuck after the sony ericsson logo .coz flashtool said that i can connect but my debugging is off and it not in mass storage state ...
Is there is still hope to make it live back?
I really love That phone . I really love it .
pls help me

As i see it, your bootloader is locked, you have (had) recovery for locked bootloader and you tried to flash custom rom and custom kernel. "it won't work" is short description, long description is your entire first post.
You have two options:
A) Unlock your bootloader and try flash kernel and rom again (you didn't say what model you have, so it might not be even possible)
B) flash stock firmware (ftf) with flashtool or even better, use pc companion to get your phone back to life

You can find a ton of stuff here ^^
So find your stock ftf file (depending on what version of phone you have) and flash it via flashtool. Hopefully you still can. Give Google a shot if you need instructions.
Or go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
PLEASE USE THE PROPER FIRMWARE FOR YOUR PHONE. You may cause irreparable damage to your phone if you flash the wrong firmware.
Sorry for the all caps, but I just want to make sure that I helped and didn't cause any more issues. Best of luck for you.

So, you did not root or unlock the bootloader? Then sony MUST repair your phone.

here is your checklist
1can u check if your phone gets detected if u install kies and does it connect to kies ,as the rom version u using do have some problems reported by some users as want to be sure if its a original note2 just try to connect with kies,if it detects in kies then u can proceed.
2.wipe data,cache and dalvik cahe and reboot and see if it solves
3.if still not solved download http://d-h.st/s9I its a pre rooted odex rom with root install this using kies but uninstall kies before flashing and install only samsung drivers ,disable antivirus (just to be safe)
4.if still prob then its your hardware its time to take it to service center

[Q] Custom Kernel Flashing ends with black screen , Arc S

Hi everyone,
I really like my arc s and I don't want to change it if it does not fail. However, I decided try new ROMS just to make my device a bit different with improved performance.
I checked several of threads and read them carefully. I have already finished these steps (I hope I managed to do properly) :good:
=unlocked boot loader
=rooted with a software called eroot
=installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2
As much I understand everything is ready.
So I have downloaded a 4.2 JB custom ROM. I put the zip files to my SD card and also extracted boot.img file to my desktop. By using Flashtool, I flashed it. After that, I rebooted the device to enter CWM mod to be able to load the ROM and googleapps. However, I only get BLACK screen everytime. (I press volume down and power button) .
I followed 3-4 different techniques and different kernels and roms but everytime the result is black unresponsive secreen, I only get small vibration and than black screen forever. Thankfully, I manage to save the device but loading LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf with flashtool flash mode. However, I really want a shiny 4.2 in my mobile .
By the way, about my phone : android 4.0.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
I don't know what I am doing wrong with flashing kernel...
Please share your experiences...
Regards
Onur
Hi again,
Seriously guys, I really need advanced help here. I spent 2 days for it, result is nothing.

What is the kernel logo that pops up, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
At least I have identified the problem, I guess
At first I didn't consider that as a problem but I think the reason of this kernel flashing problem is an issue about internal memory of the device. While flashing the kernel with flashtool, an error occurs "1 bad blocks encountered" (check the attachment pls), I did a quick search on the forum as well as Mr Google however the outcome is a bit devastating unfortunately. I think it is impossible to solve the problem. Still, I will be really appreciated if someone shares his/her solution for this problem.
Otherwise, I m kindly asking for ROM suggestions to upgrde my arc s (4.0.4 with kernel 2.6.32.9) without flashing a custom kernel.
Many thanks...
Did you use the latest version of Flashtool?

Unfortunately, I cant see any logos. I think I follow the correct method but as I said due to bad blocks, flashtool can't install the kernel properly :/

[Q] Xperia S Black Screen but phone is working

Hi everyone,
I hope you guys can help me with my problem.
I recently decided to root my Xperia S and put a custom rom on it.
The first thing i did was unlocking my bootloader following this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Then i rooted the device with this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44918676&postcount=1
Instead of putting the 6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly immediatly after the rooting process i first installed recovery using this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308493
Only after installing recovery i put the kernel back to 6.2.B.1.96.
After this my phone was fully working, rooted with unlocked bootloader and latest official version.
I wanted to try to install a custom rom on it and installed this one --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476341 trough recovery.
I wasn't happy about this rom and wanted to try a different one but could not access the recovery anymore.
At this point i used an official 6.2.B.1.96 tft to install everything back to official. After this i noticed my root privileges were gone.
I wanted to root it back so i tried to follow the rooting tutorial again and flashed my kernel back to 6.2.B.0.211.
After this flash my screen turned black and i am not able to see anything on it.
My touchscreen and phone is still working as i hear the screenlock sound when i swipe my screen to unlock it.
I am still able to take pictures, to plug it on my computer (I see the pictures in DCIM) and flashmode and fastboot are still working.
I searched the past day on the net at tried everything i could find. I flashed again, tried with Emma, locked my bootloader again and tried with PCC but nothing works. Screen stays black.
Please, i hope you guys can guide me trough this process.
Thank you !
Update: I connected my phone with an HDMI cable to my tv and i can see my phone on the screen.
I am sure the phone is working.
Please guys help me, i have no idea what to do now.

Odin is the Samsung equivalent of Sony's Flashtool. CWM is another lifesaver as it has wipe options built in that can help to get a phone to boot. CWM remains installed even if the main OS is removed........

Yeah I have used sony phone for a while and i have broken it (Hard bricked) when unlocking the bootloader, then I picked up a galaxy w and I am still in love with it, Its a single core but it can do miracles. I have soft bricked my phone many times, I sometimes delete the ROM i put on the sd card to have room for the kernel and other tweaks so i use Odin to just return the stock OS and then get a new ROM and flash it inside. There is not much risk and you cant go wrong with the phone. I fixed mine many times and i know how many frustration you get when doing such thing. I remember the first time when i bricked my phone by installing kernel for another android version, and then i booted up to CWM and wiped data/cache and flashed a new rom. Because of the long booting time i thought that its over, i broke my phone, but after sitting there for 10 mins. it finally booted up. Damn i was so happy then, i rooted my phone and installed a new rom for first time :victory:
