Only the second example is grammatically correct because here we have
inversion with the negative adverbial "no sooner".
According to https://www.tolearnenglish.com/exercises/exercise-english-2/exercise-english-88760.php:
"In formal English, and in written language in particular, we use negative adverbials at the beginning of the sentence to make it more emphatic or dramatic.
The word order is inverted: the negative adverbial is placed first, an auxiliary verb follows it and the subject of the sentence comes next.
The inversion of the subject and the verb can take place after a clause that begins with Not until and Only after/if/when.
Time adverbials:
Never (before), rarely, seldom;
Barely/hardly/scarcely...when/before;
No sooner....than
Only a time expression:
Only when, only after...
Negative expressions:
Under,In no circumstances, In no way...
Expressions starting with Not...:
Not a noun, not only.... but also, not until...
Little with a negative meaning
Look at the following examples:
Never have I encountered such rudeness! (extract from a letter of complaint about the service in a restaurant)
Not only is Amanda Swift a gifted musician,but she is also good-natured and responsible. (extract from a covering letter)
No sooner had he locked the door than the phone started ringing."
