Ok so if u have unlocked bootloader u can simply download a suitable ics kernel and then flash it using fastboot...then download ics rom and flash it....but be sure that the ics rom u download is compatible with the kernel....
Press THANKS if I helped,

This means that you deleted the whole system because it happened to me before. Download the stock ROM of your mobile and follow these steps:
1. Open Flashtool and press on FLASH (the one with the lightning).
2. Choose Flashmode.
3. Select the ROM and press on ok. If you get ERROR, try to clean up some memory on your disk.
4. keep holding the -volume button.
5. Plug your mobile on to the computer quickly before it boots up.
6. After flashing is DONE, Unplug your mobile from the computer and turn it on. It may take 2 minutes or more to boot up, so don't worry.
7. Your mobile now is stock as new, so it is not rooted and the bootloader is also locked i think.

It won't boot up. Just hold volume down and plug it in. Don't hold power, just volume - and plug the usb in

Use sony update service instead of pc campainion for updating

Firstly try charging your battery using some other phone or some chargers where u can just insert battery(doesn't cost much) and then keep the battery for 15 sec(without connecting to charger or mobile)...now let's start from beginning....re-insert your battery and connect ur phone in flashmode and flash stock firmware...after that turn USB debugging, msc mode and unknown sources(just to be on safe side) then reflash the kernel using fastboot, hold vol up and connect to pc(obviously u might be on unlocked bl to do all this...) and then flash the ROM(u might have placed in ur sdcard) with correct wipes and boot it....
Just an advice: after u install the Rom go to launcher, then clear data and force stop, then remove the battery for 30 sec and then reboot it twice....

i flashed .62 firmware to my lww after charging its battery now my phone is new.
now i have to root it again so i have to downgrade it to .58 firmware.
can u tell after rooting it on .58 firmware can i install a ICS custom rom and kernel to my Sony lww
if yes can u tell me some good stable and high performance ICS custom roms and compatible kernels for them.
plz..
thx

Sorry I can't tell u about best rom/kernel but if u have unlocked bootloader u don't need to root it again.....Simply download any pre rooted ics kernel and then flash ti and flash any custom rom based on that kernel...

i cant get the device to boot into flashmode anymore.
there used to glow a green or blue led light when i connected the device in flash or fastboot mode.
at the current state all i can get is the red led on top to glow if i connect to charger or usb.
im willing to give the device away if someone wants to change for any working sony smartphone..

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

Should i be messing with the test pointers to get this undone via hardware..or i should stick to software manipulations using diffrent combos..i hve removed the battery 10 minutes ago,i guess all the capacitor power will be gone by now..so what next should i do..??

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.

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

Cool. I'll try to flash the ROM. Is there a need to clear the cache and system portions ?

Limit on the number of roms you install on your phone.
flash your stock rom. (ftf)
Also make a backup of the original rom, and then you install custom roms
