have you xrecovery 0.3? the new one, maybe do a factory reset and wipe all the things and try it again. if that even not work try wipe dalvik cach and fix permissions

my phone dont enter the XRecovery !!!
what can i do ?
no any other way to install new kernel for add Xrecovery with FlashTool ?
My Status:
1.My phone hang on Sony Ericsson logo
2.My phone cant enter in Xrecovery mode.
3.I cant install new kernel with Flashtool bcoz debugging mode is off.

I had the same problem. I made a thread about it and the solution is on the second page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340161
Basically you got a boot loop and will need to flash a new stock rom and root it again and then put your custom roms if you want.
The solution goes until unlocking a bootloader. If you don't need this, don't do it.

Alright, one thing is what you can do is.
use pc companion and going back to the original Android 2.3
and start all over again.

PC companion asks you to drag down USB,how do you do that,if you are stuck in the start up screen?

No... Just turn off your phone and take out the battery and unplug the USB.
Now hold the back button and put the battery in, it will boot in recovery mode, the green led on the top will light up.
Here you need to plug in the USB quick and flash the stock rom with the flashtool (I suggest having it already selected and the mouse on the button FLASH for quicker use, because the phone does not stay in recovery mode for long, at least mine didnt,)

HELP

hello everyone
i srsly need help right now
i was using stock rooted rom 2.3 and i downloaded tripnmiui 2.2 latest version and i flashed it.. .. bt later i realized tht i shldnt hav flashed it through recovery and all..
and then after flashing it i rebooted my phone, after the SE logo it reboots again and again. thn i tried to RESTORE frm recovery bt i dnt knw wht happened that im unable to mount the sd card or even restore from it. i cnt even flash back to stock 2.3 via flashtool.
i dnt knw wt to do. please help ppl.
P.S im a noob
You were trying to use the 2.3 baseband on a non-2.3 rom. That's why it kept rebooting.
To fix it, just keep trying flashtool, PC Companion, or SEUS.

Install the x10 adb drivers and use flashtool should be good to go
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
Sorry if I sound patronizing or rude or anything, but have you used flashtool before? You open it up, hit flash, choose your firmware, hit ok, when a box comes up about connecting in flash mode, you plug the phone whilst holding the back button. It should start flashing automatically.
With regards to the phone going into flash mode (green led) whenever you plug it in, mine used to do that until I flashed gingerbread on it. Its normal I think, but you should still hit back if you want to get into flash mode.

Please follow the guide that is given. Just like normal flashing, the phone must be off (or you can take out your battery to make sure it's off). Before you plug the USB, hold back button and insert the USB on phone. Release oback button after flashtool detect your device.

Well no need to panic....
As ur saying ur device connects in fastboot mode just flash the kernel with CWM recovery (r d one u got iwth the zip in JB rom)..
den install JB from the zip (assuming zip present in sdcard)......
it will solve ............
By the way ur bootloader unlocked? or not?

I have an unlocked bootloader. I tried using fastboot to flash the kernel.elf file in the JB rom zip file but it failed. It said my device had to be rooted and all but my device was already rooted. I used the flashboot fix specified in the thread attached below. It worked and i flashed a stock rom just to be safe and get a working phone.

Flash the stock rom with flashtool, for that look in the rooting guide in my signature. There's how to root your phone on 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware and there's how to use flashtool and install the firmware.
Is your bootloader locked?
Didn't you make a backup?

Did you install the drivers from flashtool now?
Install flashtool, go to the installation folder>drivers and install the .exe (maybe your phone isn't included in the list, just tick everything which is offered and install all them).
Afterwards install sony pc companion and sony update service, drivers should be installed with it.
So turn phone off and while it's off hold volume down and while you hold it down connect the usb to pc. The led should turn green.
If it's red it could be battery isn't charged, so charge it. If charging doesn't work get a battery of a friend...
Well bro, proceed is said by mihahn, the led is red, just bcz you have installed extended stock Kernel, right???

That it vibrates is strange, normally you just hold volume down and connect. Don't power on or anything just press volume down and plug usb...
But if that's not the problem I haven't found something that may help you, yet

But your charging light turns orange? That means you should be able to enter fastboot mode. Did you try removing the battery, leave it out of the phone for like a few minutes to be sure.
Then connect USB cable with volume up, without battery in the phone.
Let me know what you get then

First off calm down and think clearly. I hardbricked my S but revived it. First off the recovery should be related to the kernel. Put your battery in and hold volume up and power for ten seconds. Then let it chill for a few minutes. Then try and enter fastboot so you can flash a new kernel. I have NEVER EVER found a phone that couldnt be revived from brick and I have rooted and modded at least 15 different models and manufacturers. It can be done, you just need patience. Fastboot mode is the way to revive a device and once you get the proper kernel on you should be okay. Just keep trying to enter fastboot. Dont run your battery out all the way though, since sometimes you can get it to low the phone cant charge and the charge mode is related to kernel.
I do have same problem, please help me.

First off calm down and think clearly. I hardbricked my S but revived it. First off the recovery should be related to the kernel. Put your battery in and hold volume up and power for ten seconds. Then let it chill for a few minutes. Then try and enter fastboot so you can flash a new kernel. I have NEVER EVER found a phone that couldnt be revived from brick and I have rooted and modded at least 15 different models and manufacturers. It can be done, you just need patience. Fastboot mode is the way to revive a device and once you get the proper kernel on you should be okay. Just keep trying to enter fastboot. Dont run your battery out all the way though, since sometimes you can get it to low the phone cant charge and the charge mode is related to kernel.

Download and flash a stock firmware using flashtool and be careful about what Rom you flash on your phone always.

i need help just hard brick my xperia s .... no led no fastboot no flashboot....no logo.... nothing at all and i was with 80% battery please mailme at this direction [email protected] i trully need help i dont know what to do anymore
Post your own thread instead of necroing an old one will help. Also saying what happened before the phone died will also help.
Anyway, hold vol up + power for 20 seconds and see if you can get it to vibrate.
If so, after the 3rd vibrate, quickly hold vol down, then jam the USB cable in.
You are now in flashboot. Flash a stock ftf and you should be fine.
links plz

Saved my life!
Was stuck into SONY logo after "testing" each CWM function (like the wipe system, etc .. !)
Many thanks!
Xperia U bricked, tried many things but now it gets stuck at "SONY" logo
I am now downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430 stock ROM. can you suggest which kernel I will have to use to flash the boot partition with. and any steps I have to follow before flashing the stock ROM using flashtool ?
Background:-
I rooted my phone then unlocked the bootloader the official way.
Installed CM9. worked fine
Then I wanted to back to stock ROM (for some xyz reason)
I got a vodafone image and recovered the phone by flashing it but touchscreen was not working.
I think I have messed up a lot and now I cant get the CM9 working also (touchscreen doesnt work)
Touchscreen not working, is it a software or hardware related ?
I still believe if its software related it can be fixed somehow.
Thanks.

the ftf file includes the kernel, just flash.

Thanks. But do you think the touchscreen issue is just due to wrong ROM or could it be hawdware ?

It should be ROM issue, I remember seeing this problem in the arc forums too
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
Cool. I'll try to flash the ROM. Is there a need to clear the cache and system portions ?
