[Q] infinite Xperia S bootloop, tried EVERYTHING

I know this has been asked a lot, but i literally tried everything.
i have a sony xperia s, no SD card. rooted on jelly bean firmware 6.2.B.0.211 using Doomlord root kit, after playing with some tweaks, i rebooted the phone so they will take effect, the phone is now stuck in a boot loop... TRIED EVERYTHING, deleted the cache, system, data, tried the sony update, flashtools, installing custom ROM or flashing the same one. the problem is, when i'm trying to put the phone in flashmode or fastboot mode, the sony logo appears after 5 seconds, showing "device disconnected" on flashtools. thus i can't ( i think) use it. i really dont know what to do here, i've been looking all over the internet for anything to do...tried everything i have read, but to no use. can anyone PLEASE help me.

Cant connect via usb fastboot then very less hope...

[Q] Sony Tipo Dual not able to install stock rom

Dear members, I have a sony tipo dual. I tried to install cm10 on it, and was successful but later when i inserted the sim i came to know that CM10 doesn't support tipo dual.
Now my problem:
1. I tried to use PC Companion and go back to original Firmware but it says "Phone has modified software. It cannot be updated."
2. I tried to flash it with a Central Europe stock, but everytime i do that it throws an error and stops.
3. I am not able to copy the Gimlo firmware on the phone. Whenever i try to copy it says "Cannot copy item. The device disconnected or stopped working."
4. I tried using fastboot and install the .sin files but I was able to install only the kernel.sin. While installing the system.sin i gave an error of Too large file.
I have attached the flashtool's log
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - Unable to read from phone after having opened it.
=============================================================at this point my phone restarts
30/015/2013 19:15:04 - INFO - trying to continue anyway
Now i just want to restore this phone to its original software. The biggest mistake i did was not to keep a backup when i installed CM10.
Please help me...

Perhaps Sony Update Service. So flashing a stock kernel doesn't work? Have you unticked TA/no final verification?
Sometimes this works! Try that first and otherwise Sony Update Service.
Success, and good luck!
Sent by magic!

Hi,
I have already tried using the Update service, but i get the same error "Modified Software".
Also the most irritating things is that I am not able to copy anything on the phone when I connecct it to my pc.
I tried disabling the TA/ Final verification, but this is not helping either.
Guys plz help.... the phone restarts during the flashboot process..
Edit:
I was trying to edit the build.prop file.. If this works can I use Sony Update service to reinstall the original software?
Can anyone please share the original build.prop file for tipo dual. I dont have the original one and my current build.prop file shows the device as ST21i (Sony Tipo) whereas it should be ST21i2 (Sony Tipo Dual).
Expecting your help...

[Q] Sony Xperia Miro (st23i) dead after installing ROM

SONY XPERIA MIRO (ST23I) GONE BLACK !!!
Hi MR./MASTER./MRS
My phone just stopped after installing 'Jelly Bean Mini Project ROM'. I flashed from ext SD, but ended in bricking it. Now I cant use my phone.
Only Black screen ,vibrate when I press power button AND tuning between Green LED and Blue LED can be done any time
Now when I try to flash the phone with official (ftf) firmware with flashboot, the error says:
" 30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
30/016/2014 19:16:40 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool."
I'm sure that I hv installed as it says, but still the error shows up.
P.S I have done nothing with Bootloader
Picture of FLASHTOOL error saying and SONY XPERIA MIRO connected is in attachment.
What am I suppose to do?
A BIG THANKS FOR HELPERS!!

Download Sony PC Companion .
Connect your phone in firmware flashing mode.
it will automatically install the required drivers.
And make sure to put the firmware ftf file into the folder named 'firmwares' of flashtool.
Please press the thanks button on the bottom right corner of this post if I helped you.

Don't worry, Your phone is not hard bricked. As you mentioned that on starting , phone is vibrating that means there are chances to recover your phone.
1.First go through this guide :Using Flashtool
2.Download your current stock firmware . Visit this: Miro all official firmwares
3.Install proper drivers as mentioned in the above 1.flashtool guide.
4.Flash the firmware for your phone , according to the above 1. Flastool guide.
5.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.
Good luck

[Completed] sony xperia sp bricked and need help im at a lost end :(

Hi, I'm a noob to this site and is my last call of action ive tried everything to get my phone working but I'm at a lost end now and getting frustrated.
If anyone can help me with my problem it will be much appreciated and a lot of pressure taken off me. to start with I towel rooted my xperia sp (c5303) which gave me root. I then installed a recovery called philz which worked great. installed lollipop all fine booted up but no data signal bar had explanation mark. I tried the data fix through recovery did not work so I thought il flash my device again to see if it rectifies my problem so I deleted all data cache delvic cache chose the file off sd card that I previously used but this time I got an error. and the phone just restarted . so I assume there is nothing on my phone now no firmware as it turns on comes up with the sony logo but hangs after a minute or so my phone turns its self off. I plug my phone into pc usb and the lightbar turns green at the bottom then after 40 seconds goes red with the sony logo again then after a minute reboots to green and so on in a boot loop state. I have tried flashing my phone to stock with flashtools but it gets so far then gives error that I don't have usb debugging and unknown sources enabled. I cant have them enabled as I cant access my phone. I have gone into flash tool drivers folder downloaded flashmode drivers and fastboot and viskan board it starts to install them comes up with welcome to device driver installation . sony(winusb) says failed. Google inc (winusb) says failed sony ericsson mobile communication says failed I assume it cant see my phone. I just don't understand what to do next.
If any body has had this problem could you please shed a little light, Thanks for taking time out to read this.

Your given link shows that you have installed Z3+ fw.
Try to download your model FTF and then flash it with flashtool again.

hi, i was in the same trouble before, i was sacaried with my new super expensive brick jajaja, but i found the solution, just try to flash the generic fimeware and marking all de wipe marks in flash tool, after few attempts it flash the rom and i can enter the phone, if you see the green bar doesn't began to go just desconect your phone and try it again. I solve it in my 4th atempt
PD: forget my english please, i wish it can help you.

Hi, Also got up on the same problem as yours as i've downloaded and flashed wrong FTF model for for my Z5 Dual (E6683).
Just performed the re-flash using the latest Flashtool and the correct FTF for the model, completed flashing and device has returned to normal operation.

Thanks for your help

I have the exact same problem, only it won't do anything when I press the volume down and connect it to the pc. Flashtool won't detect the device. Does anybody have an idea?
