Same problem here. If i press Power + Home it reboots, but i'm not able to get in Flash Mode. Therefor i think it needs to shut completely down..

Both of you, try flashing stock rom using flashtool

Without being able to get into flashmode?
Also, i highly doubt if i can flash it without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks for the help attempt though

[Solved] Ok.... My phone is full bricked... Suggestions!

Don't boot... I was doing some changes with Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware [rooted + xrecovery preinstalled], and then... poof!
Now i can't repair with seus update, the phone don't boot!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank You...
Yeah! The battery!!!!!! I've taking out the battery cable and putting it back in!!!
I can't understand why.... But the phone could not boot, and so i could not do anything.... (seus, or binary flash, adb...)
Thank you for yours ideas!!

For future reference: You dont need to have your phone "on" to use the flash tool, it just has to be in the update mode. (Hold back button while plugging into the usb). This is for if you ever brick it again

Did you install the recovery? Some comes with kernel and some installed manually. I only used the manual one before which originally made for acro HD but now also available for XPS. That, just tap the sony logo few times and it will goes to the recovery.

Boss here not able to move further after Xperia logo if it moves towards home screen i was already taken back up.Need a help how resolve the issue
hey do u have cwm installed? have u flashed custom kernel? or advanced stock kernel, if yes then you just need to do is press volume up @ sony screen, when @ sony screen (assuming you have installed advanced ics), it will vibrate and have a led light then press the volume up.
if you havent installed i guess you need to do some reading on how to unlock and install custom kernel.

What is CWM and how to install CWM, How to stock kernal.
I have the same problem and I think it's because I can't install the drivers for some reason... I think Windows 8 already auto-installed some stupid drivers that don't work. Does anyone know how to reinstall the fastboot drivers?

Not able to go into recovery mode
Dear All,
I installed cwm recovery tool by following the steps as told in this thread using recovery installer for my xperia s (build no. 6..1.a.2.45).
I tried going into recovery mode by pressing VOL UP + button during bootlogo (sony) but nothing happens.. the phone restarts in its usual manner.
ive unlocked the bootloader via fastboot .. roooted the phone with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17: method.
I just cannot fathom how to get into recovery mode so that i can install custom rom !!
any advice will be greatly appreciated .. thanks in advance
Please help me

Try tapping the screen(no pun intended) as per instructed in one of the threads(can't remember which one)?
Can't say for sure as your device is Xperia S but that's what I did and it works(surprisingly, pun intended)

If you have unlocked the bootloader, than download advanced ics kernel fastboot image, not the zip for cwm.. Then flash it in fastboot mode.. Then restart and enter recovery..

on the x10mini pro you have to press the back-button repeatedly to enter cwm, not volume down. My guess is you followed instructions for the 2011 Mini Pro (without x10 name) and not the 2010 x10 Mini Pro.

Because the only thing you need from your phone for that is flashmode, and you can enter that always from a turned-off phone. When asked for flash-mode, just press the back-button and attach the usb-cable.. it will work.

Use flashtool (found in the development part of this forum) for most phone operations, it will install xrecovery, but you can upgrade that to CWM via a flashable zip, or you can use RecoverX app, which you can also find there.

All drivers are installed?
You have to turn off your phone, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect the usb to PC. The green led will light up and you are in flashmode

[Q] Xperia P Bricked Need help

So I was trying to put a custom Rom on my Xperia and It bricked it, I unlocked the bootloader and installed cwm but I ****ed it up some how when installing the ROM. It won't turn on, nothing happens when i push the on button. doesn't vibrate or anything. When I plug it into my charger there is a red light but it goes away after about 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure its hard bricked, is there anything I can do? Suggestions are welcom. Should i send it to sony?

First of all: Sony will probably not help you since you unlocked the bootloader.
Next: Have you tryed to to connect to a computer using Flashtool?
