[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nihtilan:
Hi guys!

I have read through all Xperia S topics regarding bootloop, but couldn't find anything that actually helped so I'm creating this new thread.

Until yesterday the phone worked decently, not perfect, but it worked. All of a sudden when I try to open any app I get the message "Google Play services have stopped working" (or something similar). I thought that a restart might do the thing so I turned off the phone after which I started it. Surprise!!! I get the Sony logo then Xperia Logo, restart, Sony logo then Xperia logo, and so on.

The phone has not been rooted, and it runs the latest stock firmware (4.0.4).

I have tried repairing it with PC companion and SUS, but I get the message that the battery is not fully charged. If I plug the phone to the wall charger, if the phone is off it will just start in the bootloop and it won't charge, no LED, nothing.

I also tried flashing the phone with Flashtool, from what I can tell the flashing was successful, but the phone still doesn't work.

Before I send it back for warranty, I thought someone else might have a clue about what the hell is wrong with this phone.

Cheers guys!
