Soft Bricked; Freaking Out!

Hey guys, first up a submission, I have not gone through all the rules but I have searched extensively through the forums for a solution to find a way out of the soup I'm in right now. Please excuse me if I've done something really silly but any help would be highly appreciated!

Yesterday, I unlocked my phone and installed the Cynagenmod (stable version) for the Xperia S, following instructions posted on their home page for Xperia S.

Since I was not very comfortable with the interface (and realized in hindsight as my contacts and data was not getting transferred and that I may not have the time to read through a ton of stuff to get Google Apps and other basic stuff).

In short I wanted to uninstall and go back to stock, and in the process of doing that I ended up wiping out my SD card and Nandroid backup I had created (yeah, I'll running for "fools of the year" for this).

Right now, I am being able to load the boot loader and flashbut I'm not being able to push the ROM onto my SD card, I get an error saying "device not found". I've tried using TWRP but USB storage won't mount, sideload doesn't work either.

I'm in a real fix here, have been breaking my head over this for over 15 hours now, i'm desperate, please help me out!

Flash the stock ROM.

Search the forums for a stock ROM (try to get .45 or .50) and use Flashtools to flash it. The tutorial is pretty easy to follow.

Used CM10 212 on my SL.

Still camera gets 12MP, but the video recording only goes upto 720p. But it's OK though.

Advice: don't install the 213 yet. Get the 212, I found it to be very stable.

Is there any way to boost volume in phone call on Ion lt28?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rapsoulis:
Hello again everybody.

I've managed to install the ROM I wanted, finally after 2 weeks of failures and many many other things - soft bricking etc.

I'd really like to thank all the people that tried to help me and of course the Developers who do an amazing job! :)

I finally figured out what was wrong, I was using a different version of Recovery instead the one that was pre-packed with the ROM!

Anyway, I'll be glad if I can help people from now on! :) Keep coding and reading guys! :D

Hey guys;

I had a question, so I decided to ask it here.

I have a Xperia SL phone and here's the question: Is it gonna get Jelly Bean like S? Or it is only S getting JB.

Thanks in advance:)

I am afraid to tell you that SL may not be getting the JB update. ..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] The Third God:
How is that possible? Both of the phones have same architecture! Or... maybe I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BlushMaq:
Yes it's same. But price matters bro. Sony played it smartly. Kept SL's price low but gave a bit more overclocked processor. And charged more for less processor speed for S. But giving the update. And so kept SL away from the JB update..:o

Hi all. I am Xperia S user, I've just rooted and installed Pure Cynagenmod and before i rooted my phone and installed the custom rom, i back up all of my stuff via pc companion, the back up file is still on my pc, but when i tried to reach that back up folder in order to get back my contacts, pc companion gives a back up error which says " during the back up process the content of your phone may be ruined but your back up on your pc is okay, restart your phone and try back up process again" I did the same as in the explaination but it didn't work. So i will be really grateful if someone has a knowledge about that problem and helps me. Thanks in advance.

Yes.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jommyjom:
Sorry I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff. I do want to stick to Sony UI and widgets. How do I install the JB one? I assume by JB you mean Jelly Bean? I had thought that Sony hadn't released this yet for the Ion? Also does the JB update allow for addition of home screen pages as part of the firmware for all phones then?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
You can get many apps from JB into ICS using ports. The JB one is from either the Z or the T. Look for the Xperia Z home, mod by Niaboc.

I will be going to the store on monday to recieve a replacement Xperia SL, since the one I bought last week bricked irreversibly.

As a precaution of getting a faulty phone like last time, I will be testing the device on site. I thought about soft resetting the device, and maybe taking a laptop with me, so that I can try to access flashmode/fastboot mode (because the last XSL I got couldn't boot in those modes). :D

Are there any other testing methods you can think of that could be potentially useful?

Actually, there have been reports of some Xperia series and models having low call volume on the ear speaker, but that was mainly because of the faulty hardware. Go to the store and compare the sound quality to another XS, and ask for a replacement if you think that you got a faulty device.

Unfortunately if you have a true LT28at then your bootloader is going to stay locked till it is hacked.

However you cam SIM unlock it.

Just Google "unlock SIM LT28at"

You should find a few pay sites. Also there is a thread here in general that offers free unlocks.

I tried flashing it, but when I hold Vol - and plug it in, the LED stays red, it does not turn green. My computer also does not detect that it is plugged in, so I'm unsure as to what I can do. Thanks!

i have also tried using 7zip to just dump the images in and get the error not implemented yet.

Kernel requires root

Hey guys, this is my first post on xda :). My XPS is my second Android device, but on my previous phone (ZTE Skate) it was so much easier to install a custom recovery and start flashing roms, so I'd like some help getting started.

I got my Xperia S a few weeks ago. Used the official Sony PC Companion update to get 6.1.A.2.45 firmware on the first day. Later I unlocked the bootloader (probably not really necessary, but I'm probably putting CM on it in the long run, so why not). I also ran Bin4ry's root script, and the phone now has root access. Next I'd like to have a custom recovery so I wanted to install a kernel (Advanced Stock ICS kernel). Tried using fastboot like in DooMLorD's guide but the command prompt gave an error saying that the device must be rooted.

But .. I rooted it with Bin4ry's script, so what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I jumped the gun a bit. Managed to install CWM by using PuriketsuAngel's recovery. Everything okay now, I guess from here on out flashing roms is the same as in any other Android device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
why don't you try custom kernel?

Advanced stock ics kernel or the overclocked yet smooth sspeed kernel v6?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Basically, yes. Some ROMS will need that you wipe system partition before installing, out it might gives you a bootloop.

Also, Don't post useless stuff to get the 10 posts, enjoy your stay here. Welcome ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
As I said I tried installing a custom kernel (Advanced stock ics) with fastboot but it wouldn't install, the command prompt always gave a message that it failed and that I required root. So then I rooted the phone with Bin4ry's script. After that I tried installing the kernel again (there's a few weeks between this, that's why I mixed this up in my previous post), but I got the same message. At that point I made my post. I don't know why fastboot would give this message, it's ridiculous that the command prompt requires root while installing a custom kernel is supposed to be a method to root your phone.

After that I got CWM Recovery for 2012 Xperia v01 (odd I thought I installed v02, but that thread is SO messy). Tried installing a custom kernel again, this time ics15.zip and the installation works fine. But when I reboot my screen won't turn on (the phone buzzes but nothing else). Don't know if that's normal but I didn't have the patience so I reflashed the stock .2.45.ftf firmware with Flashtool. Oddly I still have root, all my data and the custom recovery, like nothing changed. I thought Flashtool would wipe my phone, maybe I didn't do it right (but I prefer it this way anyway :p).

EDIT: Okay I feel kind of stupid now, turns out I just didn't unlock the bootloader properly. Should've been the first thing I checked but I thought it was a one shot kind of thing, and I'm very certain that it stated the bootloader was unlocked the first time (does that sometimes happen, that the first time doesn't work?)... Anyway I'm good to go now :).
