I was testing my Xperia S with images from CyanogenMOD and OpenSEMC projects, then after flashing this kernel:
# fastboot flash boot OpenSEMC-kk-beta2-oldmapping-boot.img sending 'boot' (9223 KB)... (bootloader) USB download speed was 36326kB/s OKAY [ 0.275s] writing 'boot'... (bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested (bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x00002000-0x0000bfff (bootloader) Erase operation complete, 0 bad blocks encountered (bootloader) Flashing... (bootloader) Flash operation complete OKAY [ 1.727s] finished. total time: 2.002s
And this combination of files:
OpenSEMC-kk-beta2.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip
My device didn’t started anymore, all I see was a black screen.
I was following the instructions from this page:

Then after searching how to unbrick a Xperia S I found this thread:

Then tested the hard-reset: VOLUME_DOWN + VOLUME_UP + POWER. I feel the vibration of phone starting but after plugin the USB cable nothing is recognized. Trying this hard-reset with USB cable plugged didn’t work. I removed the cable from computer and as fast as I could pluged it back after hard-reset and saw this using $ dmesg command:
[ 3974.182383] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 15 using xhci_hcd [ 3974.199391] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0fce, idProduct=3dde [ 3974.199403] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 3974.199408] usb 3-1: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD [ 3974.199413] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM [ 3977.466235] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 15 [ 3977.825237] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 16 using xhci_hcd [ 3977.842089] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0fce, idProduct=3dde [ 3977.842110] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 3977.842121] usb 3-1: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD [ 3977.842130] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM [ 3981.107036] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 16 [ 3981.468040] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd [ 3981.484920] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0fce, idProduct=3dde [ 3981.484931] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 3981.484936] usb 3-1: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD [ 3981.484941] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM [ 3984.927213] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 17
Then I decide to test another approach: hard-reset and execute fastboot command to flash a known kernel:
# fastboot flash boot S_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-96_v3.elf sending 'boot' (9244 KB)... (bootloader) USB download speed was 36408kB/s OKAY [ 0.275s] writing 'boot'... (bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested (bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x00002000-0x0000bfff (bootloader) Erase operation complete, 0 bad blocks encountered (bootloader) Flashing... (bootloader) Flash operation complete OKAY [ 2.291s] finished. total time: 2.567s
Great it worked and I can use ClockWorkMod again to flash a good Android version.
