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

Backup everything as it will erase all data on phone (sms, contacts,apps)

Update/Repair your phone via PCC or SUS

PCC (PC COMPANION) – Repair your software with this .First do the setup without connecting your mobile to pc.(only connect when you are asked to).

Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE (written with blue)

SUS ( Sony Update Service)  ... download and install it on pc and follow the on-screen instructions

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
