Warning 1 : I am not responsible for bricked phones..Warning 2 : I am not user of Xperia S, so need testers for learn is it working... (working-confirmed)
Warning 3 : If you are using CM10 for locked bootloader, dont install this. It'll broke your initframs...
Warning 4 : If you have CWM(with chargemon hack) you may get problem. Do fresh install without recoveries...
How it works ?
-When booting your phone, BLUE led will appear.
--Volume UP enters TWRP 2.6.3

On CWM, " USB MOUNT STORAGE" works.
