Sony Xperia S Frozen on Startup Screen

[#1]

I was trying to instal an update on my phone by connecting it to my computer, however during installing the update the cable got disconnected. Ever since then my phone has been frozen on the 'sony' logo on the startup screen. I have tried letting the battery run down and forcing the phone to power off, but my phone is still frozen.  I tried to complete the software update, but it gets stuck on the 'detect' stage when connecting. Thanks for your help in advance!

You can either use SUS from here www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software%20Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe to repair it or do a manual flash using flashtool
