So, I installed safestrap and rebooted. Everything was fine, I let it boot normally and then rebooted again to get into recovery. In the recovery menu I tried installing a zip, and it told me I had to enable the safe system, so I did so. Now when I reboot the phone, I get a pure black screen and the phone is completely non-responsive. Trying to power it on does nothing, what should I do?
edit: OK, if I hold down power & the volume key, the screen will flash. If I hold down power again I can get back into recovery. I'm trying to disable safe system now, hopefully that'll work.
edit 2: Yep, that worked
Just curious in the safe side, did you actually flash any custom ROM?

I flashed my xperia s with recovery.img and then disconnected the cable. Then i tried turning it on from the power button nothing was displayed on the screen. So how do i boot my xperia s in the recovery mode so that i get an option "wipe data/factory reset"?
Turn on the phone and keep pressing volume up

I think this recovery.img was not walid... I did that with my phone too, and nothing appear in screen. U have to flash another kernel (i suggest, the doomlords kernel). After that turn on the phone, and press the volume up, when doomlord logo appears.
hope it helps.
How are you getting on is your phone back on?

If you tried the methods above with no joy it obviously isn't installed. With the cwm you are trying is there a .bat file in the download on your computer. If so while your phone is plugged into PC run the bat file and follow onscreen instructions. Then try launching cwm again.If you havnt managed it yet leave a message and I'll find it.

I am posting here as I am facing the same problem.
I have been following this guide to flash my phone with CM10 from ICS stock rom.
h#ttp#://androidlegend.com/xperia-s-update-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean-with-cyanogenmod-10/
I have successfully followed everything done previously, including Unlocking the bootloader, getting root access, installing busybox, using RecoverX to install CWM.
I copied the FXP150-cm-10.1-20121209-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip to sdcard, is it this that is required to flash to ROM or the boot.img that is inside the zip?
And I am stuck on that part where I have to reboot into recovery mode. I have tried
a) Connecting my phone and opening fastboot mode and then try to keep the vol up pressed to open recovery mode.
b) Without connecting, powering my phone on and pressing volume up. But there is no blue LED
c) Without connecting, powering my phone on and continuously tapping on sony logo. After that Xperia logo.
But I can not enter the recovery mode.
A little guidance please?
Flashing CM needed a seperate kernel. Keep following the instructions to use fastboot to flash the boot.img
Power the phone off. Hold vol + then plug the USB cable in. There should be a blue light.
Poorly written tutorial IMO. Should be flashing kernel first then the rom to save some panic.
I asked the Sony-Support, they say that there is no recovery-mode.(for Xperia U, but they are the "same")

Guys, dont ask Sony cause stock ROM doesnt have recovery.
If you want to flash CM you must fastboot the boot.img inside the zip file, before that put the ROM into your phone memory, power on the phone and keep pressing vol up, enter into CM recovery and flash rom from phone memory. Wipe before and after.
Agree, stock ROM doesn't have Recovery Mode. When you turn your phone with VOL_UP, nothing happens :cyclops:

try flashing it again, maybe your first flash had an error.
Met the same problem and here what I did:
-Take off the battery in 10 minutes and put it back
-Plug the charger into the phone and do the logging in CWM steps (press and hold the volumme up, press the power button).
Finally it worked, hope this can help
My Xperia S is just a week old with locked bootloader.
I rooted it and backed it up thru CWM.
I applied a sound mod thru CWM which i did not like so tried to flash back my backup.
Before flashing i wiped everything possible, cache, data, system, dalvik cache, battey stats.
When i tried to flash my backup the recovery says there is ' MD5 Mismatch '
So now my Xperia S is stuck at boot logo, does not go into recovery, does not go into flash mode so i'm not able to flash thru flashtool or seus.
I tried holding Power and Vol Up button , but it only restarts the mobile and again stuck at boot logo.
Pls help i'm losing hopes.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried turning the phone off, hold vol up and connecting USB and see if you can get it into fastboot mode?

ok dont panic, hold POWER + VOLUME UP and when it vibrates release the buttons. Boot the phone. If its still stuck than hold POWER + VOLUME UP for 20 seconds and repair the phone with seus since its with locked bootloader. If that doesnt work, download firmware around this forum and flash the phone

Anyways, Got my Xperia S back . The service center people just had to charge for a day and flash the back the stock rom . I still dont get it how did they get the device into flash mode.
Another thing i learnt is that from sept 16 all sony ericsson service centers will be shut down and the customers have to go to sony showrooms for repairs or replacements here in india.
Thanks Everyone , topic closed for me.

Bad Recovery
I'm thinking I completely ****ed up my phone, but someone please prove me wrong.
I flashed the ROM but it got stuck on the bootloading screen. So I rebooted into CWM and did a SYSTEM restore.
Problem is, I restored the system to when it did not have CWM flashed yet.
So now, it boots into the custom bootloading image and stays there. When I hold power+volume to reboot into CWM, it loads the original bootloading image (as expected) and gets stuck there because (I'm guessing?) I did not do a full restore.

If you have locked bootloader, repair it via SUS or PC Companion. If you an unlocked bootloader flash the rom (ftf) via flashtool.

Charge your phone. You have to press and hold the volume up and power button simultaneously until the phone vibrates 3 times and turns off completely. Then try to connect the phone in flashmode.
My phone will either not boot at all (get stuck at the Tmobile 4G) icon or get to the Android start up screen and get a bunch of force closes and won't let me do anything. Can I flash a factory KDZ on the phone to see if that works? I was unsure because in the instructions, you have to turn on Debugging, but obviously I can't do that.
It was messing up and I've tried wiping data, dalvik cache, nothing seems to work. And it won't let me restore a backup on my SDcard, saying it cannot open the directory. any help would be appreciated!
You have to turn on debugging for rooting process you have to use lelus offline flashing method...

Did you try starting with vol down + home and power to initiate a factory restore?

Turn off your phone, hold down the volume up button and plug it into the computer then flash the kdz in emergency mode. Good luck

Hey! I just rooted my Xperia Go (advance) and it went perfectly. Afterwards, went on to install CWM Recovery and once I rebooted the phone (I managed to get into the CWMR menu) my phone shut down.
My PC won't recognize the device even while holding the volume down key while connecting it, it wont boot up, won't charge with the wall charger or anything.
I really need help, I've tried everything.
Thanks!

Try flashing this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250695
But I think you have to unlock bootloader first.
What I did was updating stock firmware via OTA, then unlock bootloader, flash the kernel above and then flashing the JB zip file via CWM
