Hello.
I have recently bought a brand new Sony Xperia S. i got it all working when i unlocked its bootloader and rooted it.
now it gots into some kind of bootloop. it wont boot up. that means i cant get into its internal Sdcard. so i cant move any images to the phone so i can install it by recovery mode.. the only mode i can get into is the fastboot mode.
all i need to know is, can i somehow move a .zip file to my phone, when the only mode i can be in is Fastboot?
Flash doom recovery in fastboot then access the recovery and mount the usb to your pc and copy what you want.

Use it to reflash your firmware...
First power down with the hard power down button combo, and reflash using flashtool.
im a bit new to this, but i can flash kernels to my phone. but i cant get into recovery mode to install anything. im stuck in the boot loop. dont know what to do -.-'

Read the flashtool guide. It allows you to reflash any soft bricked device.

thanks foryour reply. i've got into the recovery mode. but i cant install any *.zip from my sdcard, because i cant mount the sd. so i cant move anything onto it so i can install it from the recovery mode.
any suggestion?

Download flashtool from the sticky thread and any FTF you like. Unplug your phone and switch it off completely. Then hold the volume up button and plug it back. Install flashmode-drivers.exe shipped with flashtool. Run flashtool, click the flash button, choose your ftf and wait. When it's done, reboot to your new firmware.

Dpwnds in your recovery... Which kernel do you have or which recovery sid you flash? To enter most of the recoveries you need to yap on the sony or your kernel logo when you start your phone

Be more specific about this.
If you have not installed recovery you don't have recovery to enter.
I am unable to go my recovery mode

Try flashing a full stock rom, or the rescue firmware from a thread in general.
Worth a try at least.

Thanks, but I can't flash new Rom, recovery dosn't work and Odin won't connect i DL mode, but will connect in the dead/never ending bootup. I guess that with a new "phone file" I perhaps can flash that with Odin, but... ARRGHH

Have you tried booting into recovery with adb....
1. Download and install Android SDK
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB
3. Press Win key+ r and type cmd
4. Type adb reboot recovery
5. Done. Phone should reboot into recovery

Hello guys,
I will try to explain my problem in few points. I was trying to flash my phone with CM11 and the steps I took are:
1. flashed kernel using fastboot (boot.img)
2. wiped data, cache etc.
3. noticed I forgot to copy CM11 to internal memory
4. the phone can't boot and I'm unable to copy data, it stucked at Sony logo
5. I can't recover it as I wiped all data
6. tried to flash it with stock rom using flashtool, but the green light turn on only for about 2 sec and then the red one appears/ the same with fastboot purple led
7. I can still enter CWM, but I don't know how it could help

very easy,just flash the original kernel for your current ROM.
Then it should boot

It's not that easy. I can't flash it because both flashmode or fastboot aren't working.

Also tried that. I connected usb cable while kepping pressed volume up key and typed in command line 'fastboot flash boot boot.img and it keep saying < waiting for device >.
Is there a way to upload kernel or whole rom to internal memory when the phone is bricked?

Extract the zip http://d-h.st/vvJ
Put your boot.img in the extracted folder
Open command in that folder
and type the command
hold volume up while you are connecting your phone to pc

Still the same. The purple led appears for just 2 seconds and then the red one.

Can you upload or do anything with a brick other than to use it as a brick?

I can't, that's why I asked.
The problem is that the phone do not enter flash or fastboot mode so I'm unable to upload kernel or rom using these methods.

It sure does, what do you think "Device connected in flash mode" means?
Try it
The problem is now solved as I tried flashing it on another computer.
Thank you all for your help.
I flashed a rom and it works great. My problem is i can't get back into recovery to flash gapps. My pc is not recognizing the phone now and i can't think of a way to install playstore or flash the gapps package i have downloaded into the phone.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!
which recovery did you flash to your phone m8 ?
Is USB debugging on? If you flashed a new rom it won't be on by default. Check that then connect USB to computer you will get a message on phone asking trust this computer, say yes. Then reboot to fastboot mode and fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery image file name>

I don't what I did wrong following the rooting steps, but I am now stuck in recovery.
If I press the vol up button it does not go into download mode, but into fastboot.
I tried to fastboot flash boot.img but get the error FAILED (remote: unknown command)
I flashed the system images v10_stock.zip but did not change anything
Hard reset also ends in recovery
Any ideias?
