My friend followed the steps given in the following link to install CM-9 on his phone.
Cyanogenmod 9 on Xperia S
Once he did a data wipe, he rebooted the phone and left it for a couple of minutes. It remained stuck at the bootloader for around 15 minutes. He then proceeded to try to try the whole thing again. While the fastboot flashing was successful, while trying to install the cm9-nozomi zip file, he got the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="LT26i"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="LT26i"||(getprop("ro.product.device")=="LT26a"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="LT26a"||getprop("ro.product.device")=="nozomi"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="nozomi"
Status 7
He's also tried mounting the system partition via mounts and storages and it shows mount failed. The same is the result for data, cache, etc.
He's now stuck at boot, but is able to access fastboot and recovery mode. The problem is that clockworkmod doesn't support USB OTG Mount and that even if I can modify the update script to not check for the script, I have no way of sending it into the phone.
Any suggestions, solutions or the like would be highly appreciated
I posted a question in your other post. Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Sorry about that.
Yes.
That was the first thing I made was done.

Try flashing back to stock to minimize the issues. Then flash via fastboot a rooted Kernel. Enter into CWM wipe Dalvik Cache first, then flash CM9. If bootloop still occurs try flashing Krab's kernel for CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808831. By the way what Kernel are you using?

The phone is currently running everything stock except the unlocked bootloader.
How would I flash back to stock if I'm unable to access the sd-card?

Try flashinf ftf files restore it install boot loader then it will return to stock
try cm9 if still not working then use pure ics kernel 1.1;
It did work for me....Intall it directly after installing cm9Don not Reboot Device After Installing cm9....try it

Ok so no need to flash back to stock, as you've mentioned you're on stock right now. You can flash via fastboot Advanced Stock Kernel by Arakmar or any Kernel that has CWM. Then you wipe Dalvik Cache and now you can install CM9. I stated on my earlier post that you can try flashing Krab's kernel for CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1808831.

I was willing to try out CM 9.1 ROM I unlocked the bootloader as per steps everything went well. When I reboot it shows FXP logo and then it is stuck at Xperia logo. Since its battery is not removable I have to wait until it all drains out and charge again and get it into working mode. I could go into recovery and flash CM 9.1 but even from there when I reboot it now stuck up at CM logo same as Stock Xperia logo.
I have emma, flashtool and SUS but I cannot get my phone into flashboot or flashmode as nothing happens with volume key combination. When I connect using USB cable it shows RED LED light and once charged up I can get it into recovery mode...
I gave phone to sony repair somehow they are able to get into flashmode... however they say they might not be able to repair it as using Emma it doesn't flash stock ROM.
I am quite sure sony is going to return me handset without repair, any help would really save my brand new Xperia S from going into vain, Thanks a lot in advance!!!

I was using rooted Stock 4.0.3. I installed CWM recovery. I didnt unlocked bootloader. I did a full wipe but forgot to format cache, data and system. I installed Jelly Sandwich and patched it. When I reboot my phone it stucked at sony logo. When I want to open recovery it also stucks at sony logo. Also when I connect it to charger sony logo appears forever and indication led is not flashing. What can I do to solve this?

Good day guys! I have the same problem. It is actually my first time at this so forgive me. I was trying to install CM 10 on my Neo V. So I went to CWM, wiped data/factory, wiped dalvic-cache then went on to installing the rom. It gave the status 7 error. So I went back to the file to remove the getprop lines. Tried to flash it again, but got another error like this "set_perm: some changes failed". After rebooting, I'm stuck at the "SONY" logo. I can't go to CWM anymore and I can't go to fastboot (pressing volume up + plug usb) too. Is there any way to recover my phone? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

You need to install cm compatible kernel... Did you unlock boatloader? Fastboot s menu button and plug usb... Go into flashmode by back button plus usb and flash stock firmware...

Did you unlock bootloader before trying out CM based ROMs
Also a clean install is what i'd suggest
First flash The kernel inside the Zip
Then,
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache
Format data,system,cache
Install your Rom
Also ,Fastboot is not accessed by vol up button but Menu button+plug usb

Wow! That was fast! Thank you very much! Yes, I was able to unlock the phone's bootloader via fastboot way (if you will). I was trying to install cm-10-20130609-NIGHTLY-haida. I believe haida is the correct one for Neo V? Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the fast replies! My bad on the fastboot buttons. I was able to figure that out now and also the flashmode. Right now I'm trying to download Mt11i_4.1.B.0.431_customized cenral europe 3.ftf.7z. I believe this is the stock ftf for Neo V? Another question, the boot.img is the kernel inside the cm-10-20130609-NIGHTLY-haida.zip right? Should I install it using flashmode? or should I use the CWM to install kernel? I'm really sorry for the newbie questions, I have been trying to find the answers myself but there are a ton of info and videos that always give different ways to do them. Obviously, I followed one that did not work for me. Thank you again! I'll post updates.

Goodnews to me! I was able to revive my Neo V, big big thanks to your help. I was able to install the stock ICS ftf.
So at this time, will I start again at the beginning like root, unlock bootload, install CWM again? I'm not giving up yet on this thing. :fingers-crossed: I tried to access CWM, but it is not loading at this moment so I'm guessing I have to install that again, right? Thanks again! I hope you won't give up on my newbie questions.

Flash proper kernel and stok
Hello guys,
I was trying to flash Aeon Xperia S Lockscreen, and after flashing i got bootloop. What shall I do? Should i use:
6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone
If you had unlocked bootloader and did OTA(Over the Air) update, then you probably ended up with a dead phone, aka brick. Don't worry, it is not completely bricked, still can be saved!
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from this post below.
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Install stock firmware and kernel to your phone.
Remove USB cable from your phone and start your phone.
Try not to brick it again, less problems for you.
Method or something else, because i can't boot recovery because I need to reboot to recovery mode. PLEASE HELP!!!
Are u on UL bootloader. If yes then just flash any other kernel from my signature . Recovery comes with it and flash the custom ROM from the recovery...
if u had made a backup before flashing the lockscreen zip u could have restored from that !! this is exactly why u should make a bckup in recovery before messing with your phone.. the point is always mentioned by the developers in all their works and still we ignore it.

if u are getting bootloop it means u have not bricked ur phone. use flashtool to flash old firmware . this will restore your stock ROM and BB. but ur apps and data will be lost. then u can use xparts app from play to install CWM

Welcome on the forum :good:
You have to reflash the stock gingerbread rom using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, please use the search function
In the thread of the rom it tells you not to reboot on locked bootloader, you have to flash the clockworkmodfix.zip first. And did you do the necessary wipes before?
Which kernel were you on ? make sure you flash the correct kernel or the kernel given in the rom thread man
for now try returing back to stock as the above user said

What do you want to do with your phone? Since you've unlocked the bootloader i suppose you want a custom kernel on it... just flash that, it will have cwm included, no need to mess with that on stock kernel.

Hijack is probably not working correctly or the system partition is screwed up. Re-flash the phone with the stock ROM and then re-root it and re-install CWM recovery.
