[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stourmer:
Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time writer.

First of all, I do know that there is somewhere — maybe — an answer to my problem, but after 2 weeks scratching my head I just need someone to help me out. I got too many tabs open and can't think straight. So if it's just to send me links to some other post, don't bother. I won't mind having other post to read if you take time to explain :)

I got an Xperia S (LT26) which is unlocked. I am currently owning a Mac (on Yosemite), which led me to quite a few annoyances with some Windows tips that I find on forums (mainly from here). I know, parallels exists, but if I can do without it that would be great. I have Flashtool (0.9.19.8) installed as well as Android Studio with the SDK files.

Ok, so here is my problem.

Phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked, but not debbuging ON anymore.

My phone won't boot. It is stuck to the Sony Logo Screen.

I am trying to put an old firmware but I always got the "ERROR FLASHING - ABORTED" after trying to install a new firmware.

I do manage to be on Flashmode AND Flashboot mode.

On Flashboot mode, I can't reboot via ADB:

09/058/2015 16:58:26 - ERROR - This action needs a connected device in ADB mode.

When I ask to get the info here is what I got:

09/059/2015 16:59:20 - INFO - Fetching fastboot version info from connected device

09/059/2015 16:59:20 - INFO - FASTBOOT version info: [ version: 0.5 ]

I installed CWM-Based Recovery (6.0.1.9) which helped me accessing the phone through my Mac, unfortunately I don't have any backup that I can use... I — desperately — tried to copy some boot.img but I encountered the MD5 mismatch.

I also tried to fix it through Sony Bridge for Mac, but I got the EU Error 2003.

If someone could give me a hand, that would be much appreciated. Be sure to be clear though, I might not be as good as you ;)

TO SUM UP:

- Phone stuck on Sony Screen

- Can't install a firmware (6.2.B.0.200 & 6.2.B.0.211)

- Bootloader unlocked

- Phone Rooted

- Debugging currently OFF - I did put in ON before... :crying:

- I have CWM 6.0.1.9 installed

- Can't repair my phone through Sony Bridge

- Have access to the phone when USB Mounted.

Thanks to anyone who will take time to reply, and if you need me to do something just let me know !
