[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 424aca:
I have decided to condense my SOLVED issue into one post in this thread due to it helping any other users that may face this issue that is presented with this rom

MY ORIGINAL ISSUE:

Soft Brick [MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION]

Phone: Xperia Ion ATT Locked Bootloader

Problem: My phone has stopped giving any response what so ever to me.

1) My phone was working when I woke up as i turned off the Alarm and responded to a text.

2) I check 10 minutes later and my phone is not responding at all, no screen, no vibration, no response when plugged into PC and i am not able to do a force shut down by holding down the volume and power buttons for 30 seconds. Battery Was at 90%

This happened about two days after I flashed the 4.5 Update. Im not sure what caused it specifically. Overall only three mods were done post installation.

1) Xposed Framework

2) Viper Sound Mod

3) December 13 Sony Media Apps (except for walkman because the walkman app crashe)

All three of said mods worked since i first began using your Rom at the 1.0 Stage (an avid fan to say the least haha)

Im just wondering if you could check what may have caused these issues for they have just caused the inconvenience of a soft brick. thank you

Yes I have Red LED but because of the rubber mistake that i made, my battery is in a state where it is not charging at all so flashing is impossible at the moment. Before my final plan to remove battery plate, I will go the normal method and let it drain completely and then if that fails i will use the Back Plate removal Method.

I will have to go through Bugly's method and dissemble the phone and remove the ribbon from the battery.

I was researching that last night anyway and in the thread it says "However next to the battery there should be a ribbon cable with a plug to the mother board. Unplugging this cable for 2-3 minutes should reset your phone without letting the battery"

Im not sure if this matters but my issues is that the battery doesn't even charge anymore because of the rubber method and how i did it for too long. Regardless I will try this removal of the backplate.

Question that I know I will have in the future: So I can remove the backplate and everything but when it gets to the " remove the ribbon" part of everything, what does that even mean because in the picture on the thread it had a white object boxed in as important. I can do the removal of the backplate but what do you guys mean when you guys say "removing the ribbon" like what is the physical action and result i should see? ( I have almost no knowledge of tech hardware except for the fact i need to do it on a concrete floor)

SOLVED: So as a desperate attempt before i have to go back to school, I let the battery drain and then i put in the charger, i think i was tired or something because i didnt notice the SOLID RED LED. i obviously got excited and after 5 minutes on charge it turned on and to my SURPRISE it vibrated (indicating CWM) And then it just turned on to the normal screen...as if nothing had even happened....wtf

It turned on and thats it, nothing more to say, its normal except i uninstalled Xposed Framework and that after i backup all my APK onto my SDCARD, i will do a wipe and i will reinstall your rom at 4.0 and then i will think about updating to 4.5 LOL. In that time if you could simply tell me if there was somethig that could have gone wrong that could have lead to such an error, that would be great. (as a precaution im also re downloading the rom from scratch just in case something happened in the 4.5 update.)

REGARDLESS, thanks for your help [MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3701903]Bugly Astard[/MENTION] it means a lot to a kid who has no cash flow and who was about to just give up.
