My device is H4133 with unlocked bootloader.
I downloaded the firmware via the XperiFirm and then flash it with the new flashtool. It can boot correctly,but the problem is after several seconds it starts to frozen , and then it reboot ,and serveral seconds later it start to be frozen again ,and then reboot. The time is too short to complete the setup wizard. But after I set the screen lock in the setup wizard and reboot, it would not be frozen and reboot (everything OK) when the phone was locked. It start in setup wizard again when unlock my phone and start to be frozen again after serveral seconds.
But in the LOS and other ROM the situation never happens.How can I solve the problem?
Sorry for my bad English.
By "new flashtool" do you mean newflasher? If so, maybe try either Xperia Companion or Sony's Emma flashtool ? https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool

Rooted- locked bootloader-
I was trying to flash this rom, when it failed and I hadn't really noticed.
So my system was formatted and I booted from recovery.
Since then my phone will endlessly show sony ericsson logo and reboot, back to the logo, and reboot again.
I tried booting into recovery by pressing and releasing the volume down button, but it didn't work.
I recently flashed T.E.A.M rom so I'm not sure whether the hardware method to boot into recovery changed.
I've also tried to install the firmware from pc companion but it doesn't work because the phone doesn't mount properly because it keeps turning off and on.
EDIT: Installed new firmware from PC Companion. I Had to first connect it while it was on, PCC would recognise it in those couple of seconds.
Later on, I had to take the battery out and put it back in. The phone would now stay off, until I held the back button and connected to the pc. Then the installation was succesfully run.
Note: I have a sony xperia pro mk16, there was no phone selection for it, so i chose to post on arc forum; however, solutions should be same or similar
Note2: i am a bit noob at rooting and cmw and all that
Story: I had ics and finally decide to try to upgrade to jb with custom cm10 rom. i first rooted the device and installed cmw with x-part. I attempted to install the firmware but it quickly gave me a status 7 error. so i just rebooted and it loaded to a reset ics firmware perfectly fine. after an attempt to download another version of cm10 jb, i tried installing that firmware. after a long wait on installing:..., the log finally gave me another status 7 error. so i rebooted again HOWEVER, it is STUCK ON the SONY logo.
i tried pulling out battery and repowering but nothing changes. holding power with repeated volume down or hold volume up button doesnt do anything. i can connect to sony pc companion but it says i need to fully turn on my phone to update/repair.
i can get it to flashmode using flashtool, but when in flashmode it just leaves a blank screen that wont do anything, i would have to pull out the battery and repower it, which would lead me back to the SONY logo.
PLEASE HELP

My guess is that you tried to flash a JB rom without flashing the custom kernel because your bootloader is locked. Not every rom is working with stock kernel. CM10 and AOKP as far as i know need custom kernels like Lupus and fxp139. To flash a kernel you must have unlocked bootloader. So until you decide if you will unlock your bootloder or not, you can allways use flashtool to flash stock Sony firmwares found here:
stock firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642480
here
download the original ICS firmware (somewhere in this forum)
add to flashtool and wait till the pop up asks you to attach your phone in flashmode
attach in flash mode and let flashtool do its magic
now... unlock your bootloader using official or s1 tool method
download CM10 again
inside there will be a boot.img
power off your phone, hold down settings button and attach usb cable..
now you should see a blue LED light
FASTBOOT flash the boot.img and the flash the ROM
press thanks if i helped!!
First of all, I'm a noob at this. So don't expect me to know everything.
I got a rooted Xperia SL with ICS.
(Please read all before replying)
This is what happened. I was trying to update my phone to 6.2.B.0.200 JellyBean with Sony PC Companion. But it didn't work as both Flash Boot and Fast Boot doesn't work properly in my phone (told u im a noob). When I hold the volume down button while the phone is off, and then connect the USB cable, the green LED will light up for about 3 seconds and then it goes off, and the phone shows the charging battery icon.
So I downloaded the firmware from a thread here in xda forum, and tried to flash it with CWM. But then, the flash failed and the phone is now stuck on a boot loop with the "SONY" logo displaying forever.
So I again tried to flash it with flashtool, but the same problem came with Flashboot and Fastboot. It just goes into flashboot for few seconds, flashtool recognizes the phone. And then it disconnects and I see a notification in windows saying USB Device Unrecognized.
Please help me out to solve this problem, this phone is all I got
P.S. - I already had enough battery (around 60%) when I tried to get into flashboot.

Fixed it. Not so sure, but I think what made it work was running flashtool as administrator...
Use SUS

I also had got the same problem while updating to ics .55 firmware. I suggest you to use Sony Update Service instead of PC Companion.
First of all charge your phone upto one and half hour then follow the SUS instructions carefully while updating, It may help you !
All the best !
Hi!
I'm moving my first steps into Android modding: I've succesfully installed Cyanogenmod on my Xperia U and then started to play with my Xperia S. That's what I did on the S:
- unlocked bootloader (with Sony official procedure)
- copied ROMs into phone
- flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 using flashtool (fastboot mode)
- started phone in recovery, wiped, installed ROM/Gapps, reboot.
All seems to work fine: the phone boots correctly, system configuration and all, except that when I reboot it, on the next start it stucks on boot on Sony logo.
The phone is recognized by flashtool and I can still enter recovery, so I can't say it's bricked, but it doesn't start the OS!
I've tried different ROMs, Android 4.4.4. and 5.0.2, but the result is the same: all working fine until the phone is rebooted, then stuck. Sometimes it happens just after installing the ROM, other times later, after installing other apps (it always happens if I try to recovery app backups with Titanium backup, for example).
Can it be a TWRP problem?
Any ideas or help will be high apreciated! :fingers-crossed:

After flashing ROM, the phone will seem to be stuck at Boot Animation for 10-15 minutes. It is not stuck and normal. Let it boot, it will come to home screen eventually. During second boot, it will seem to be stuck at Sony logo, but this is too normal. It will take approx 10 minutes here too.

Wow. Thank you Mirhawk! I knew about long boot animation at first boot, but never heard about the second (or later) one "stuck" at Sony logo! Waited 10 minutes and then the phone wake up! :good:
Thank you again.
Hi everybody.
A friend gave my dad his old Xperia S, which was running MIUI. My dad gave it to me because he wanted "proper Android".
ADB worked, CWM Recovery was installed, no root seemed present. I first tried downloading a ROM and flashing from CWM, but it was a no-go, I got a "status 0" error.
No problem, I thought. I installed Flashtool, downloaded one of the 6.2.B.1.96 ROMs (Movistar branded, for Spain) via Xperifirm and flashed it. It didn't work if I went straight to flash mode, it waited at "Reading device information" or something like that. I had to turn on the phone, connect it, chose the flash options in Flashtool and *then* putting the phone in flashmode. If
Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. "SONY" -> XPERIA" -> Rainbow colors -> Movistar Logo -> "SONY" -> "XPERIA"...
I can only stop the bootloop by long pressing Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds, until the phone vibrates three times.
I can flash things, but I actually don't know what I am supposed to flash in order to get a working phone
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I would recommend flashing a unbranded firmware. Also, do You have bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thanks for the answer.
A couple of hours ago I reflashed the same ROM checking the "wipe" options and everything is working as it should
If it hadn't worked I'd have tried your advice, thanks again.
