Hi everyone, thanks for reading my post.

im hving this problem : my Xperia S is bricked

Its started after i finished updating it to JB. It was a succesfull but the phone wont boot up. the phone have the backlight but the sony logo didnt came out. it was about 1 minute(i think) before it die(off).

ive tried all of the tutorial i found(all in xda forum n some of googled) and some ways that others find it usefull but not for me. ive tried flashing stock roms, tried flashing different kernel, hard reset, rubber band trick. it just not working.

this is how my phone now ;

1. if i press the power button(no matter how long), nothing happens.

2. if i connect it to wall charger, red solid LED will keep lighting(hope u understand my word), about 5 minutes, it will turn on itself and will stuck at backlight without the sony logo. then, die again. and will hv red LED again. this cycle will just continue.

3. if i connect it to pc, pc wont recognised the phone and the same thing willl happen(a cycle like in number 2)

4. when the backlight(without sony logo that will never came out) is lighting, i can do soft reset and hard reset.

5. if i do soft reset, the phone will restart automatically just after i release the power button after 1 buzz. and it will be in backlighting again untill it dies(off)

6. if i do hard reset, the phone will be off. (hard reset situation continue for number 7 and 8)

7. if i press the power button(after hard reset) it will be in backlighting again untill it dies(off)

8. in this situation, i can connect it to pc in either flashmode or fastboot mode. pc can recognize my phone and i can do flashing anything through flashmode and fastboot mode.

9. but after flashed some stock rom, the phone will be like mentioned in number 5.

10. i failed to flash custom kernel because the phone is not rooted.

thats it.

some info about my phone ;

1. not rooted

2. unlocked bootloader

my questions ;

1. i can flash other ftf roms( ics n jb), but i dont know either i really success flashing or no, please do check the flashtool log i attached. so, did i really success flashing?

2. can i root the phone in either flashmode or fastboot mode?

3. whats else cn i try to make my xperia s lt26i worked again?

thank for u reading this quite long post. im new in posting, but i really hv done many things with my charming xperia ray before using some knowledge gathered here in xda. hope anyone cloud help me. thanks
