I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

I am also having the same problem
I have sony Xperia S.

Now I can't use memory stick that I used to use before with OTG cable. And now, if I am trying to enter flash mode by pressing volume down key, the led turn green for a while only about 10 sec while this was happening, my pc say that USB device not recognized. So, now I can't use flashtool or sony update service tool(SUS) as well.
Now I am using stock .96 rom with no error but I want to install CWM and also want to unlock boot loader again to test some custom roms.
Pls help me what I have to do and what should. I am now in Delhi.

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!

It could be some screwed up partitions but like the poster above me told you if you indeed did delete your bootloader the only way to fix it is with a riff box. I reccommend that you try reflashing the recovery the way you flashed it before and then try booting into recovery if you have any more problems pm me.

You can't use usb debugging when your phone doesn't power on. But it seems like you haven't deleted the bootloader partition but most likely wiped your system partition. Can you enter your recovery?

Try reading this or your last resort could be taking it back to Vodafone if you have warranty and say that it stopped turning on one day and act dumb. Don't tell them that you rooted and played around with it and you might get a replacement.

Hi,
Could you recover bootloader? I am also having same issue. I tried to unlock v860 mobile and when I rebooted after installing ROM my device is not booting at all.
So, have you checked devicemanager in Windows when you connect your phone with usb? Is there an unidentified driver?
Sent from my S500 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. I deleted bootloader from recovery. And yes on device manager it shows for about 5 sec as an unknown device. Tested win xp and win 7
Well after so many times am posting mostly just to bump this thread and seeing if anyone found a solution for this.
I still have my Smart II V860 after 1 year not working and kinda tried anything to repair it.
Was trying to put a new custum Rom to it that time and must have done something wrong at it and when did a reboot
phone got stuck on the android logo. Since then nothing worked to bring it back.
PC doesnt recognize it. If you go to device manager sometimes shows it as a modem for a few sec and just that.
Cant flash anything new couse ADB and Fastboot commands dont work couse Pc doesnt recognize the Device when conneced even why
have the right installation files for V860 while ADB is working fine with other phone i use.
I also did a home made USB Jig for it but prolly works only on Samsung devices becouse when i used it V860 just restarts
and still on Android logo and yet not recognized on fastboot or ADB.
Vodafone in here doesnt accept it for repair couse 1 year garanty contract has passed and some private mobile service companies i have tried
have not found a solution.
Looks mostly a hardbrick then softbrick to me but really dont know if anything else left to do about it.
Hi all, unfortunately, i have bricked my phone, and it now can't turn on..
I have a backup of the software(My friend gived me it), but when i put it in SP Flash Tool, i see only the red bar, then the program don't flash anything..
My computer see the phone as "MTK USB Port (COM6)"..
Is this the problem maybe?
Please help me..
Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian..
#UP
No one can help me please?
Did you use MTK droid tools to make a backup? I know you may have done this all ready, but did you download the drivers and checked in device manager on your computer to see if you can see the phone? Sometimes if you remove the battery, and connect it to the computer. (with a good USB lead ) it should install the phones drivers. Did you also install adb on your computer? As if you did, you should be able to get into recovery. By typing adb reboot recovery and it should boot into c.w.m. recovery. Hope this helps. I'm still getting used to mine. Sorry I can't help with more advice, hopefully someone on here can help.

I own this phone as well and am looking to root it. I have only found one lead that I thought might work at oneclickroot.com., but it is, in fact, bogus. Seems to always freeze at the first step of just identifying the phone. I will continue looking around. XDA, adding this phone's files to your database would be appreciated, it's actually a promising device with decent hardware.

You can make your own custom recovery. It's an involved process involving MTK Droid Tools and SP Flash Tool. Search on Google and you will find some tutorials. It's an involved process but it is not difficult.

It shows you how to use MTK Droid Tools to make the CWM recovery. But it doesn't use the SP Flash Tool to read back the firmware from the phone. It assumes that you already have the stock boot image to use with MTK Droid Tools.
Personally, the easiest way to get the stock boot image is to root your phone, install busybox using Busy Box X from the Play Store, then install Flashify. With Flashify you can backup the stock boot.img (which is called your kernel). Once you have the boot.img kernel, you can go back to MTK Droid Tools on your PC and create the CWM from that kernel.
Don't forget to thank me if this has helped you. Or let me know if you have other questions.

Yes. It's inside every working phone of the same model! Use SP Flash Tool to read back/dump the firmware. You need a scatter.txt file for the phone. You get that by turning on USB Debugging on the phone and using MTK Droid to read the scatter.txt from the phone.

I own this phone as well and am looking to root it. I have only found one lead that I thought might work at oneclickroot.com., but it is, in fact, bogus. Seems to always freeze at the first step of just identifying the phone. I will continue looking around. XDA, adding this phone's files to your database would be appreciated, it's actually a promising device with decent hardware.

No. You cannot because they have never released Lollipop firmware for ANY of the SKY devices. And no developer has created any custom ROMs for ANY of the SKY devices as it is a tiny brand. You're stuck with what you have! Enjoy.

So this happened with absolutely no warning? It sounds like EITHER the battery is completely dead OR you flashed the wrong kernel to the phone.
Try the following: plug in the wall charger while you hold the volume down button. Keep holding the button down. Hold for about 15-20 seconds. Then release the volume down button. The phone should start charging eventually. You'll see the battery icon. Let it charge for at least an hour before you attempt to turn it on.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to take the battery out of the phone and charge it in a universal battery charger.
If the battery is completely charged but your phone still does not turn on, you need to use SPFT (SP Flash Tool) to flash the firmware.
