1 - Do you have recovery function working? Power phone with Vol Down Button and release when apears LG logo, if you have recovery working you should be fine.
2 - Download any Zipped ROM(There's alot and good here in the dev are) and put it on your external SD card.
In recovery install zip from the SD card.
Good luck.
thanks

All I did was:
1- Installed ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery
2- Gave ClockworkMod Recover root permissions
3- Pressed RESTART from the Rom Manager app
4- PROBLEM: I got stucked at the boot screen
Please help me

Had the same problem, i flashed ported ics from xbsa with lg flashtool, but you can flash gb kdz file this works for sure too. Than you can start new, but next time when you flash recovery, flash it with bootloader its the best way to flash recovery.

You have just to flash back all the system with lg flash tool follow the guide:

It will works i faced the same problem different times
Easy unbrick
I have tried clockworkmod to do a recovery/backup 3 times and ended up with a bricked phone. I have tried various methods in the guides here and none have been successful, as the difficult part is getting W7 and W8 to install omap drivers. I have successfully returned the phone to 2.3.5 every time by this method:
Download " LGMobile support tool " from LG. If you have LG PC suite it will download the software and install it.
Connect phone to PC with usb.
From one of the dropdown menus select recover phone. put in your phone model and imei number. The recovery tool downloads 345mb of data, reboots the phone and you have now got your bootloader and phone is reset to factory. I removed sim card and sd card before connecting.
and nothing I do get's it to go away. I have spent the better part of 8 hours screwing around with it and can't figure it out. Here is what I know:
If you just try and turn on the phone sans power cord, it won't turn on. If you plug it it, it displays the LG screen and stops. If you hold down the power, down, home keys, then power cable, it will boot into fastboot and take fastboot commands. I have followed the procedure to flash a recovery image listed here in the forums to no avail. It will erase the recovery, flash it, but will not reboot on the reboot command. When I disconnect the data cable and reconnect, it will go right back to the LG screen. I have tried KDZ and downloaded the original rom via the Original LG Firmware tool. It will communicate with the phone if I put the phone in emergency mode via the simultaneous back and volume down button while connecting the power cable. KDZ will start to install the rom but after some time, the phone spontaneously reboots and then hangs at the LG screen. Upon reboot back into emergency, the KDZ routine finishes and says it's finished but when I reboot it goes right back to the LG screen. I have tried the kdz tool in diag and emergency modes while shaking the phone. I have tried the software update tool but it says it cant communicate properly with the phone. I don't know what else to try.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!
After you succesfully flashed the recovery using fastboot, do you try to boot into recovery manually?
If that doesn't works you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723

By recovery do you mean clockworkmod? If so, the phone is stock, unrooted so no, if not, what do you mean and how do I do that?
Thanks a bunch!
PS, If I follow the method I found for entering recovery it goes right back to fastboot.
PS Part two, the app you link did the same thing as I did manually and did not help.... thanks anyway...

Hey jackler1, it will not allow you to install any custom recovery if your phone is still not rooted as you mentioned.
Hence using the Home+Vol-+power combo takes you to the fast boot screen.
1st thing you need to do is to root the phone, for it to allow installation of a custom recovery.
Many root tools are available for the P500 - eg Gingerbreak, Super one click.

Hi ,

I tried to flash Stock ROM 2.3.6 using odin (tried 2 different versions ) i am getting failed,
if do first time Odin shows specified file can't open,
in next time Stuck on Setup connection
Help me please:confused
The restart and error problem is due to recovery looking for the update in the wrong location. You should copy the file to both sdcards so that if finds it. Copy it on the root of both of them and it should work.

Also please understand that i actually installed CWM from rom manager and later i freezed rom manager using titanium backup. After that the recovery was working fine manually. i stupidly factory reset the phone without unfreezing the rom manager. may be this is the reason why it got stuck up.
just tell me that is there any way through which i can flash my old backup stock rom using PC(created using CWM recovery) also tell me that is there any software which can clear cache by connecting through pc. so that i can give it a try.....please help me.

Yeah i googled..but no results came up for my model... I downloaded one which is latest of version ...Then i installed it. also read that the back up files(of ROM) must be in .tar format in order to flash it from odin. Also the phone must enter some kind of FORCED UPLOAD MODE (saw in case of samsung).
what shall i be doing to enter that download mode(same as upload mode i guess) which you mentioned above.... Is there any converter to convert my back up files to .tar

Hi,
I am new to this site and fairly new to rooting and stuff and need assistance with my Sony Xperia S (LT26i). If i am not in the right pace for this please point me in the right direction. I have installed a custom rom and custom recovery which let me upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3 which was working fine then when I flashed a different custom rom after that to get 4.4.1 I lost access to my custom recovery. The main issue is that I need help with changing the custom rom I have installed, for some reason I can no longer boot into TWRP or CWM (using power + vol up), the phone simply boots normally and skips the whole process therefore I cannot flash anything. I have looked for hours over the net on how to get into recovery but could not find a solution.
I also assumed that when installing custom recovery and custom roms that you would need to be rooted but when I check with Root Checker it says that I am not. So any assistance would be great

Here is 4.0.4
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetLThpYzEwZUh5aTg/edit
steps:
how to install the newest Android 4.0.4 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)
b) download and install latest Flashtool from here (mirrors Google Drive or Mega)
c) download also latest Android 4.0.4 (mirror) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Here you got 3 ways to update good luck

The clue's in the error message - you don't have the required drivers installed.
There's a directory named "drivers" under the main flashtool dir. Run flashtool-drivers.exe and install the appropriate drivers. I think "Common Drivers Viskan Board" is the one you need. I ended up installing all of them to get it to flash (which took ages).
Ok so I got it to work, all I had to do was hold down the vulumn down button for like an extra 5 seconds while it began to flash
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

Hello again
So I have successfully rooted the device and installed TWRP but as before I cannot seem to get into the recovery mode, when I boot the phone with "power and vol +" it doesn't boot into recovery but instead there is a quick glimpse of what I think is the recovery mode (I cant actually see it but something happens for a split second) but it flashes past way too fast then goes to the normal Sony logo and continues booting normally. I have tried this like at least 20 times in the last 2 weeks and have researched other ways to boot into recovery but I can't seem to find anyone with an answer. Do you know what could fix this? Or is there a way to boot into recovery using a computer?
