So trying to fastboot my phone with doomlord Xperiasspeed
I did the command :
Fastboot flash system boot.img
and i changed the name of the xperiasspeed.img to boot.img
Everything said it installed successfully, but now when I press the power button, it vibrates but does not boot.
I can get back into fastboot mode but thats it.
any help or ideas?
thanks
Flashtool.
could you possibly elaborate?
I am downloading the flashtool but what is the purpose and how do you use it?
I'm not an expert but it not sound like bricked device, but rather kernel installation that went wrong.
Just try flashing one more time, or flash your backup. You did a backup aren't you?

Read the docs, there's a nice guide. You can also try the repair feature in PC Companion, but it might require the system to boot, so not sure.

What docs are you refferring to?
I have downloaded stock LT22_6.0.B.1.654.zip and am wanting to use the flash tool to flash this .img
OK step by step
Your phone could be easily recovered, we can try to do it
1.- have you tried a cold reboot ?? (with the xperia S hold both VOLUME UP key and POWER key during 10 to 15 seconds until device vibrates three times, not sure if it's the same with the P, then press power and check if it boots)
Still stuck??
2.- Download flashtool 0.8.0 and install it from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
-then download the 0.8.6 update and install it too
-then download a STOCK xperia P FTF and put it in the flashtool/firmwares folder (it should be in the root of your har drive, eg.: c:\flashtool\firmwares)
-then, enter flash mode (with the phone off hold VOL DOWN while connecting the USB cable to PC -> the LED will light green) and let your PC install the drivers
-then remove the USB cable, run Flashtool, press the flash button (the thunder icon), select "Flashmode" and click OK, select yourstock firmware for Xperia P and press OK
-When asked, enter flashmode again (flashtool shows an old xperia device, use the proper key combination for your device as stated before) and flash a fresh copy of the stock firmware.
-After flashing is complete, disconnect phone and press power to check if it's all OK.

BEWARE !!
1.- You are very confused my friend, "xperiasspeed" is from krabappel2548, not form doomlord.
2.- The proper commands should be:
To flash a boot image:
Code:
fastboot flash [B]boot[/B] boot.img
To flash a system image:
Code:
fastboot flash [B]system[/B] system.img
I am not sure what did you download from krabappel2548, but it seems you flashed a "boot" image to your phone's "system" image
You are mixing stuff up
Please read this guide before attempting anything again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another advice:
Fastboot and Flashtool are different ways to flash.
To flash with flashtool you enter flash mode -> press the VOLUME DOWN key -> LED turns GREEN
To flash with fastboot you enter fastboot mode -> press VOLUME UP key -> LED turns BLUE

When I hold down the Volume Down button and connect my Xperia P to flashtool, the notification LED goes green but the window with the old Xperia device doesn't go away and after a while the green LED turns red and the screen shows the charging animation.
I can enter CWM while the device powers up but I can't mount USB storage. My bootloader is locked and I tried to install the .54 small app tweak on my .544 (I didn't think it'd be an issue, but I was wrong! I'm a n00b. Nu H8 Pl0x )
I've also tried using the Sony Update Service but it can't detect my firmware because it can't detect my phone in Flash mode
Someone please help me. I've searched everywhere but couldn't find a solution.
I have the same problem, did you ever get this solved?

Hi, i think i have a problem with the wrong kernel installed.
I have a SXSwith ICS and since a couple of days i tried to unlock the bootloader, put Doomlords CWM on it an root it, because i like to try another ROM.
I Unrooted it via the official way wich worked out good, the only thing strange was that i restarted and it seemed the whole phone was resetted.
Than i wanted to root and i had to put the phone in recovery mode, and i choose the doomlord CWM and flashed it using this guide
.
Xperia S
1.Download the Doomlord CWM Recovery image (download link here) and the Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel (download link here) and place the same to the computer.
2.Go and rename the “S-DooMKernel-v01_kernel.elf” file into “kernel.elf”.
3.Copy the file renamed on the same folder with ADB / fastboot.
4.Take your phone and its USB cord and by using both connect it with the computer.
5.Copy-paste the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” file from the PC to the Xperia S SD card.
6.Disconnect the smartphone from the computer.
7.Reboot it by entering in fastboot; press the Volume Up button while connecting the phone with the PC.
8.On the computer open command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd) and enter the command: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf. If this isn’t working try with: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf.
9.The handset should reboot.
10.When you see the light turn blue hold the Voluem Up button. The Xperia S will enter in recovery mode.
11.In the recovery menu select “install zip from sd card” and pick the file copied there on step 3.
12.The installation procedure should begin. Don’t press anything as the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete.
13.In the end, from the recovery mode menu select “reboot system now” and you are done.
There you have it; that was the easiest and fastest way in which you can learn how to install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your Xperia S smartphone. Do tell us if there were problems on your way, of if you had issues in understanding one of my directions. Now you can go and update your Xperia S with the lasts ROMs available. Take a look and see if the
Everything seemed to be working but the phone is stuck in Doomlords bootloops.
If i hold the volume up than i can enter CWM but the phone doesn,t start anymore.
The phone was running on a stock ICS ROM (i believe the Swiss one)
I flashed this kernel, 2.6.35.11/Doomkernel.nr1 and SDoomkernel v01 Modules.zip
Who can help me out since i,m stuck here.
doomlord kernel is for GB since youre on ICS try KA Kernel, XSX Kernel, and the Advanced stock ICS. look in the development section. you can flash it in CWM since youve flash doomlord kernel or try to flash via fastboot.
Thanks for your quick response, how can i put the kernel on the internal sd?
the phone doesn't start, so it wont be recognised by windows, i tried to mount in CWM but windows doesn't see it.
If i flash in fastboot mode, do i have to change the name again and wich name if i take the KA kernel for example.
Thanks

Just downlaod the advanced stock kernel (the fastboot link) and flash it in fastboot
It will boot :good:
just download any of the 3 but u need the .elf file and then flash via fastboot you dont need to change the name just used the name youve downloaded to flash.
for example : ics14.elf
used fastboot or adb
fastboot flash boot ics14.elf
you can also used the flashtool, flash via fastmode then choose the ics firmware you have then flash only the kernel. uncheck everything except the kernel.
but the easy way to do is flash via fastboot mode.
I just tried using flashtool, everything goes fine exept it doesnt flash.
Downloaded the Stock "Swiss" ROM and tried to flash with flashtool, it recognised the device, because it says device connected, then it askes to unplug en plug in the device, which i've done then the pop up that tells to disconnect/connect the device stays on and nothing happens.
I'm getting a little worried now...
Thanks for your replie
hey you have working fastboot right or adb? flash a kernel like what ive said above using fastboot,
or you can try this, dont connect your phone to pc yet, make sure it is turn off (hold power button +power up wait till it vibrates 3 times.)
1. open flashtool
2. choose your firmware.
3. when it says unplugged your phone,connect your phone to pc then hold power button +volume up wait till it vibrates 3 times, then hold power button + volume down then release it will flash.
Thanks for all the replies, i got it working.
Seems that i turned my phone one in fastboot mode and not the flashmode...oops
Flashed the original Swiss ROM again and it works again, thankgod!
But i dont want the original anymore, can i just flash another available rom on the android dev section or do i need to root? Sorry for beeing such a noob.
yes you can just flash any custom kernel it will give you auto root, then u can start flashing rom via cwm. just follow the instructions in every rom.
I am having the same problem as I am stuck with DoomLord's boot loop. I tried to flash ICS stock rom but cant get to flash it. I tried holding the power button + volume up key(until i get the three vibration) and then hold power button + volume up key and release, I get the same DoomLord's boot loop again. I am using X10 Flashing Tool Version 0.8.0.0 Somebody please help me. The device can fast boot.
download the latest flashtool, then download ICS stock firmware of your choice on the general section, then flash it via flashmode. (power+volume down)
a few days ago I tried to root my xperia S to get more functionality. So i read on the internet on several blogs and started to download a rom. First i unlocked my phone with fastboot.exe. Then i try to boot via Command prompt. It says everinthing was okay in about 120 secs, but when i disconnect and tried to start my phone, i only got the sony logo and that was freezed. Even if i reboot, it cames again. I've tried some other ftf files to flash, but nothing worked. Now my battery is empty, and i don't get the phone back in fastboot mode.
Anyone have tips for me? Im very new in it so please help me...

For now, charge your battery first. U atleast need to have 80% charge before u can fastboot/flash your phone.
- (Only If Your Phone Doesnt Start) Press Power Button+Volume Up for some 10/15 seconds, u will get three vibrations which mean u just hard reset the phone. It normally takes about 2/3 minutes to boot up a phone after a new flash or kernel has been installed. If not then follow the the below instructions after the hard reset and see if it works.
- Assuming that you have already got the downloaded ftf (Firmware file) saved in the FIRMWARE folder of flashtool, if not then save it.
- Open up your flashtool.
- Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN key.
- Keep it pressed, connect the USB cable to your PC (assuming that u already have the usb connected to the phone)
- Release the Volume Down key when phone's GREEN LED lights
- Click the flash button (yes: the thunder icon up left)
- Select "Flahsmode" and click "OK"
- Select your desire firmware and click "OK", DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE
- Flashtool will prepare the files for flashing, just be patient
- Flashtool will start flashing automatically, let it finish to 100%
- At the end, Flashtool will prompt a line saying u need to check Unknown Sources And USB Debugging mode and thats when u know that u have successfully flashed a stock/custom ROM.
- Disconnect the phone, power up and give it some minute to boot up and work.
- Have fun :highfive:
HOW TO ROOT:
Depending on the Firmware/ROM the rooting method varies, i use Advanced Kernel Build14 on my new stock ICS firmware but always used DoomKernelv0.4+Recovery to Root Stock GB firmwares
You Can Download Any One Of them:
- AdvancedKernel14(Fastboot) For ICS
- DoomKernels(Fastboot+Recovery) Thread
How to Fastboot and just Root without Recovery and back to STOCK KERNEL:
First of all i will advice you to do this if ONLY you are planning to root your phone but want to come back on your stock kernel. Its a good thing to do if you have just flashed a new firmware like 6.0.A.2.45
Here's what you do:
[ requirements ]
# bootloader of the device is UNLOCKED
# Download and install FASTBOOT DRIVERS (DoomLord)
# Downlaod and Unzip FASTBOOT BINARIES
- Unplugged your USB from pc and Turn Off your phone
- Rename Advanced Kernel Build 14 to kernel.elf or unzip DoomlordKernelv0.4, unzip it and copy kernel.elf
- Open Fastboot Binaries folder
- Go To Fastboot folder, paste the kernel.elf file
- Press and hold VOLUME UP key.
- Keep it pressed and connect your phone and pc through USB.
- BLUE LED light will turn on means you are in fastboot mode, release the key.
- Fastboot folder opened, press SHIFT+RIGHT MOUSE button on the screen and choose Open Command Window here.
- Type
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to check if your phone is connected properly and if it is, something like PSDN : xxxxx will be shown.
- Type
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Give it some seconds as it will load the kernel on the phone.
- Type
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and your phone will restart. Give it some minute and it will boot up plus you will have root access :highfive:
ONLY IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK ON STOCK KERNEL WITH ROOT ACCESS:
- Assuming you have 7zip installed in your system, if not then google, download and install the programme.
- Right click on the ftf (firmware) file.
- Choose 7zip > Open Archive
- Click kernel.sin > Extract and save it anywhere in your PC
- Connect your phone through USB (You Can do it even if your phone is ON)
- Click the THUNDER ICON.
- Choose FASTBOOT. Choose OK.
- Click Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB) if it gives error on flashtool then click REBOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE ( via FASTBOOT)
- The Phone will turn off and will automatically go into fastboot mode ( BLUE LED )
- Click SELECT KERNEL TO FLASH
- Choose kernel.sin
- Give the kernel some seconds to flash and the phone will restart.
- You will see the SONY logo again if you have done it correctly ( YES YOU WILL because you just successfully flashed the stock kernel)
- Wait for some minute and the phone will reboot with stock kernel still with root access to it.
ALTERNATIVE WAY TO FLASH THE kernel.sin :
- Copy and paste the kernel.sin file over at the fastboot folder in fastboot binaries. Delete the kernel.elf
- Type fastboot devices
- Type fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
- Type fastboot reboot
:highfive: :highfive:
Follow the above steps and you will definitely have a success
I dont think i can charge my battery. When i put it on a charger, the led is burning red. I've done that for a hole night. But if i disconnect, and try to power up, it doesnt react at all. When i connect it on my pc, the pc doesnt recognize it as a device, only the red led is burning. After a few time the sony logo appears. But stil no recognizing by pc, and still not 3 vibrates after trying a hard reset...
okay, after 3 weeks of waiting im back. I had brought de Xperia S to a telecom store to fix it, but they said that it was impossible for them. Now, i tried for my self again. There are some things to explain.
1 flashing a kernel(eg. kernel.sin) is possible.
2 then, i want to flash a the system partition
3 if i do that via the command prompt by this command it says it fails
4 if i do that by the flashtool by clicking on the thunder icon, then choose the flashmode, and choose the version to load, it's unpackage some files, but then it asks to put the phone into flashmode. If i do that by pushing the volume downbutton and then connect phone with PC, the green LED is burning, but the flashtool still asks to put into flashmode. So it does not start to flash at all, because the phone is not really in flashmode.
Anyone suggestions??
You say you unlocked your phone, do you mean unlocked the bootloader? If it's stuck at boot loop this is sometimes due to locked bootloader. Try to unlock again making sure it has correctly unlocked.
If your pc cannot detect your phone in flash mode, it may be that you don't have all the drivers installed. I don't understand 2.
All in all if your phone is in flashmode but it still says put phone into flash mode im going to presume the drivers aren't installed (or installed correctly).
Here is what I have done in a similar situation.
1, Hold the vol up and vol down buttons pressed at the same with your thumb the while holding the full button pressed, press down on the power button, you are now holding power button and volume +/- at the same time, maintain this pressure for a while, you will feel 1 vibration but keep pressing until you feel 3 vibrations then take your fingers off the power and the volume.
2, Press the vol down and insert your usb that is connected to the PC. you should get a green light, if not try # 1 again 2-3 times
3,Recharge it should only take an hour or two to get decent charge.
4, Start flashtool or PC companion. flash or update.
U should avoid unlocking ur device if u r a noob..and wait for devs to develop a method that roots the device widout hving to unlock bootloader like recentlyBin4ry has developed

Finally, I found the solution by installing flashtool update 9.6.0. With that installed, my phone went into flashmode and it was flashed well. A new question: i installed a rooted version of the ICS firmware. But now it is now longer possible to install updates. Is that a known issue, and is there a solution?
My question is how to get into flashmode when formated system? So please help all I have a problem. Yesterday I just took my XP and turned it into CWM. Then i went into mounts and storage and accidentaly formated the system, then i got scared and rebooted my phone. Now it just boots and hangs on Sony logo. I tried hard reset by holding volume up +power for 10sec until phone vibrates 3 times. Then i tired to go into flashmode but when i connect it to pc green led shows out and after 2 or 3 sec. red light shows out and it just boots again into Sony logo. Please help somebody I just need to get into flashmode and then i can flash .tft with Flashtool. My phone is from O2 carrier (but unlocked all sim cards work) bootloader is locked. Please I really need help . Everybody who 'll help for me i'll say thanks
P.S Sorry for my bad English

Have you installed drivers correctly? What operative system do you have in your computer?
If you have not, go to C:/flashtool/drivers and intall them (you have to check your device and 2 last options in the installer (fastboot and flashmode)

Whatever Anyway thanks for help. I'm going to leave my phone turned on all night so it will totaly discharge and then i will try to charge it and put into flashmode. Maybe this will work. I'll post the results if i'll fix my xp.
Phone is working!
When i tried discharging phone, that didn't help so i gave my phone to my friends dad because he is a good phone technican, and fixer. So what he did? That was akward moment :laugh:
1. When he conected phone to his pc (win xp) the computer detected my phone (my computer wasn't able to detect)
2. Then he just flashed some files. But not with Flashtool. He used program called SE2tools or something like that.
3. The phone booted up and now is working sucessfully

I think it was a driver problem after all. Next time if you have this problem again, even if you have already installed the drivers, try uninstalling and installing again... Windows is crazy , especially win8 which I'm hating more everyday lol

If you're boot loader is lockes you can use SUS then create the FTF file to flash with flashtool next time you need it.
If it's unlocked, use PCC to repair until the stage it ask you to connect the phonem then build the firmware FTF to flash with flashtool.

Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!
I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.
1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.
2. Enter CWM
3. Make a full wipe:
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. format /data (advanced)
8. format /dache (advanced)
9. format /system (advanced)
-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.
I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime.

If you're boot loader is lockes you can use SUS then create the FTF file to flash with flashtool next time you need it.
If it's unlocked, use PCC to repair until the stage it ask you to connect the phonem then build the firmware FTF to flash with flashtool.

Installed Flashtool version 0.9.13.0 - Windows in 'C' drive. In that, installed Xperia Sola, Flashmode, Fastboot mode drivers. Drained all the charge and my phone was switched off. Launched the Flashtool, connected my switched off device to PC through USB holding the Volume Up key, and followed the steps (Click 1 to Click 8) as mentioned in the below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963961
When I did Click 4, I got an error in the Flashtool saying, This action needs a connected device in ADB mode.
When I did Click 5, I got an error in the Flashtool saying, This action can only be done in fastboot mode.
When I hold Volume Up/Down key and connect to PC through USB, only red LED lights up. It is not connecting to Fastboot mode, and neither to Flashmode. Please help!
Thanks.

Dude your a bit confused.
The only thing you may need flashtoo is first step (Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ) all the rest is done in CWM recovery.
I don't know who told you to drain your baterry, but do not ever flash anything with baterry less than 50 percent, prefferrably fully charged.
Flash stock first, copy the zip to your SD card, then follow steps 1-9+.
For step 1 you need to extract boot.img from the rom zip on your pc.
To enter CWM recovery (after you flashed the boot.img), while device is booting (Sony LOGO) press volume down every second or so untill you are in CWM.
To nevigate in CWM, select - home key or power, move down - volume down or menu key, move up - volume up, exit/return to previous menu - back key or select at the bottom of the menu.
Stuck at Sony logo!

No No bro listen, I did a mistake while installing the Custom ROM.
I forgot to flash the boot.img and did full wipe even formatted the system. Rebooted the system without installing the ROM. Now, stuck at Sony Logo. (NOTE: During this I had the battery charged full)
To rectify the above issue, I tried to flash the boot.img through fastboot mode in Flashtool and install the Custom ROM through CWM. To connect to flashtool, the device should be switched off. Now, I cant switch off. I can only restart. Hence, I drained the battery completely and tried to connect to Flashtool. When I hold Volume Up key and connect to PC through USB, only red LED lights up. It is not connecting to Fastboot mode, also when holding Volume Down key and connect to PC through USB, only red LED lights up. It is not connecting to Flashmode.
Please help!
Thanks.

No you do not need to drain the baterry, nor do you need to shut down the phone.
In the link you have provided it shows you how to boot into fastboot via adb (Click 4).
Recharge your phone and follow the steps given there.

Turn the phone off, no need to drain battery, just press power + volume up until you feel 1 + 3 vibrations, open flashtool and connect in fastboot mode (volume up while connecting USB)
Do you see device connected in fasboot mode in flashtool log?
Did you install fastboot drivers from flashtool?
What is you windows version?
Got it Worked!

Nothing worked, anyway thanks bro.
I gave the phone to the technician and he made it to work. Now, I have sony xperia sola running 6.1.1.b.1.10 firmware. I am unable to update it to 6.1.1.b.1.54, error displaying as unable to communicate with sony. No Root, No CWM, just an unlocked bootloader.
Now, please tell how to root from here (6.1.1.b.1.10 firmware) and install CWM and flash some new custom ROMs.
Thanks,
Irfan
