how can i connect my phone?

Refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
Use the Rubber Band Trick.

like how many hours?

All you need to do is hold power and volume+ until the phone vibrates 3 times. Then open PC Companion and do the repair phone procedure, and follow instructions. Your phone isn't bricked, you just damaged the OS and now it can't start anymore.
If you have CWM Recovery you should simply reinstall your rom from a flashable zip.

i tried the rubber band trick for about 16 hours nothing happened just RED led light. (
@MarkMRL- my pc companion does not recognize my phone. i pressed the POWER and VOLUME UP nothing happens. What will i do?
I have SUPERSU. i didn't intall any rom on my phone. i just followed easy rooting toolkit by DOOMLORD.
METHOD 2. (( Please help me. Thankyou:angel:

Note that chainfire 3d will cause bootloop on ics and jb os, its for gingerbread

try reflashing the stock rom with SUS instead

if all else fails.... take the phone apart.. disconnect the battery from the motherboard.... start flash tool and have your file ready to flash... with usb plugged into phone... .... connect the other end to the computer... hold the volume down button.... plug battery cable back into mother board. NOTE: you should already have flashtool running and the screen telling you to plug in your usb... If it doesnt work the first time... try again.
I know this is something you don't really want to do... but the other tricks and tips did not work for me... this is what i did and i got it running again.

Why are you guys suggesting such invasive methods of repair that will make him risk breaking his phone completely?
He isn't doing the standard PCC repair procedure right, maybe because he's nervous and has been confused by your insane suggestions.
You need to do this:
1. As the phone is bootlooping, hold VOLUME UP and POWER for a few seconds until the phone vibrates 3 TIMES
2. Phone is now turned off DO NOT CONNECT IT TO PC, open Sony PCC, click on "Support Zone", click on "update phone", a window will inform you that there is no phone connected, in that window, click REPAIR PHONE
3. Follow instructions
4. This is important, when it tells you to connect the phone, do exactly what it says: HOLD VOLUME DOWN AND WHILE HOLDING THAT BUTTON CONNECT THE CABLE. If you did it right, the phone will light the notification led in the color GREEN
5. PCC will install drivers if needed, and then reflash your phone with stock FW (you will lose all your data except SDcard/internal memory contents, such as photos and videos)
If you want to try and recover the phone without losing data, you need to download an FTF of your current rom, and flash the phone with Flashtool instead. Before flashing, after selecting the ftf, you need to deselect "Wipe Data". When it asks you to connect the phone, do what I said in point 4, not what flashtool tells you to do.
Remember to instal CWM and make a backup before installing risky programs.

i'm asking u to help me please guys..

hi guys...
I don't speak English well so i'm sory for my bad english

Check if the fastboot and flashmode drivers are properly installed on your pc.

Hold volume up and power button for 10-15 seconds, until you feel one vibration, and then after a while u will feel 3 continuous vibrations.. Then the phone is fully turned off.. Now connect to PC in flash mode and flash a new rom with kernel..
Good luck..!

does your device boots in flashboot mode or fastboot mode or not
just hold volume down and connect to pc and open flashtool
if it is detected by flashtool then you need to flash stock ftf firmware
but if not then you're most propably hard bricked
best of luck :good::good:

No, you have softbricked the phone if you have hard bricked the phone then your mobile doesn't vibrate also.

[Q] My Xperia S won't start up. (Expected to Have Bricked) Full story inside

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.

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

[Q] Xperia S Hard Reset

Hi, I`m trying to hard reset xperia s (l261i) phone (forgot pattern and account and secret question).
Problem is-
A. Sony Companion can`t access the phone because it can`t access a locked phone.
B. Power button + Vol Up button + Camera button not working (first I get 1 vibrate, and a second later another 3 vibrates, and a few seconds later same thing again, and again, and never really booting up).
C. Any other combination not working (tried Power button + Vol Up/Down).
D. Can`t enter fastboot/flashmode.
*Plus, I`m not quite sure because this isn`t my phone, but I`m pretty sure the phone is not rooted nor have USB debugging mode enabled or any other advanced users features on. Also, the phone is on MTP mode (the one that does not help me at all).
Can you guys help me? really don`t understand why this is happening and I found nothing on the web.

Flashing the Official stock Jelly bean firmwire can solve your problem.It will work on both locked and unlocked phone. Download and install flashtool (version 0.9.18.3.) software on pc and flash the official ftf (firmwire) by flashtool (flash mode= Power off phone and then connect to pc while holding VOL Down key.

Wait, will this work with unrooted phone? As I wrote, the phone is not messed with and have no root access.
