I take it you downgraded from ICS to GB and if you did - did you leave the box ticked to wipe data if not then as I did you will get these problems and error and force close pop ups - All I did was backup what I wantwed to keep and leave or tick the box wipe data and then flash, Problem solved it will not wipe your SD data ie music photo's but thats not to say that it won't

I know of a guaranteed way, but it will void your warranty. Go to forum.xda-developers.com, search for your phone, follow guides to root your phone, then find a Shipped Sony LT26i/Xperia S Rom and flash it.
