Was the update successfull before your phone went off ?

Or the update process broke up in between ?

You said you tried combo of keys, did you do it for 10 seconds ?

Press and hold Power Button and Volume Up button at the same time for 10 Seconds

Anchobies Unfortuantely, there's nothing more left for you to do. Please take it to Sony service center, they should help you with that .

Most probably the battery needs to be taken out and reinserted again. But you can't do that yourself

Anchobies I'll explain you

A phone is updated when it's in flashmode.

Sometime when the update procedure comepletes , device stucks in flashmode and couldn't be charged or switched on.

To deal with it, we need to take out the battery and reinsert it. Sometimes, we need another fully charged battery to kick start the device.

There are ways given on youtube through which you could successfully remove the battery of Xperia S but remember, you risk voiding your warranty. Moreover removing the battery may not be the solution

Feel free please

If it's only a battery problem, they shall take no more than few minutes.

Do tell once you get your phone working

Hard bricks and soft bricks make the pbone not respond to xperia companion detecting them, you can see if the xperia companion proceeds while doing commands on the phone on xperia companion

Normal scheme of booting: boot to xperia/rom1

Hard brick scheme:

?????? Broken

Soft brick scheme:

Boot to????

Boot to broken

Just keep control of charging, the battery has no control like stop receiving/giving power while hard bricked.... I think
