I didn't get it. You are not able to boot into recovery? If so then you haven't flashed CMW properly. Try again and get into recovery by volume up + center button + power button.

After pressing Power in Recovery Mode of Green Android the phone rebooted and It eneterd in "Team Win Recovery Project". I din't know what to do with it.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

4 colourful dots? Can you maybe attach a photo or... In theory if it loads for a relatively long time, it is probably bricked (normally soft bricked if the phone can still power on but is stuck in a bootloop)
Did you also install gapps? If you didnt install gapps the rom should still work but gapps gives you all the important apps you need for your phone

Gapps is technically required if you want all the functioning google apps such as play store, youtube, chrome etc.
The 4 coloured dots should be the sign that marshmallow 6.0 has been installed and is loading, but if the loading takes too long (leave it overnight if it is still loading to see if it will boot up the following day), then it may not have been installed correctly. If that is the case you should boot into recovery and factory reset the device (this time taking consideration of installing gapps), and attempt to boot the device again. If all else fails the rom may just simply not work for the device and thus you may have to restore your stock rom.

To enter recovery mode in Sony Xperia S:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Press the power button again and the moment you see a pink light coming from the sensor next to the front facing camera, press the volume up button repeatedly (keep pressing until the phone boots into recovery)

It may be in the internal storage of the device then. For future reference, when flashing roms, its recommended to place the rom.zip file in the root (the first thing you see when you enter the sd card) of the sd card. You should also "clear cache" after flashing any rom.

If you can't find it you can always just place the rom.zip that you downloaded from your pc into the root of your storage.

Hi again so i installed 6.0 successfully but i forgot to install gapps and i don't know how to enter recovery mode again. I tried power button and volume up key but it doesn't work. The way i installed it was to follow a guy in youtube saying that i should install the ADB Interface to repartition my phone and after that he said i should flash the rom now. After 2 mins of booting up it works. But there is no play store and other google apps. Please help me how to boot into recovery mode again. BTW this is my kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-gfa085ac-00327-g5b0d87d-dirty
