how do i flash without cwm?

you don't flash stock firmware with CWM any way.
Suggest you read some of the threads here.
You will need flashtool and the stock ftf file for r800x , or you could use Sony ericsson suite thingy.

you just select the folder where the FTF is and then it will list all FTF files.

seriously?
put the ftf in the c:/flashtool/firmwares folder
or
click the ... and browse to the right folder. I suggest you don't mess about with your phone after fixing it as you don't know what your doing.

Xperia Arc ICS update?

Soo yea... I know the update is there, but I still haven't received anything.
Anyone else that hasn't received it yet? (In a legit way not via a rom.)
I'd love to hear soon from you guys.
Edit: Or provide a alternate way to get ICS.

Can I have a little more detail about what you mean, please?

alternate way
there may be different methods you can use
1st. flash the .ftf(ics firmware) file using the flashtool and also the corresponding kernel
search the forum for arc and you will certainly find the firmware file and the procedure....JUST SEARCH FOR IT.:good:
2nd. ANTOTHER method is to unlock the bootloader and feel free to try any rom of your choice(although this voids the warranty :silly
there has been a variety of roms(custom and stock) available for THE ARC.
rest is your choice

[Q] Please help bricked ARC S

Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone could help me. I am a not so experienced user who managed to unlock the bootloader and and root my ARC S (4.1.B.0.587).
But after that I destroyed my ARC by flashing a wrong system file with fastboot! Dont ask me why I did that it was stupid I thought I was doing something else. The result is that my ARC stops at Sony logo.
I searched the XDA site and I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813414 where a user has posted a pre-rooted system.img. I flashed this system file but no luck
Can anyone please help?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 Flash that then try again.

Which ftf file are you using?
.62 should work, instead .42 doesn't on the last flashtool version (i read flashtool 0.6 recognizes .42 ftf but I never checked).

Thanks
I reinstalled flashtool, and also used the version 0.6, nothing solved my problem. May be with the next update of flashtool

Thanks again and solve it
Installed version 0.9 of flashtool and this recognizes ftf 42, not the other ones but something is something. Thanks by your answers.

Rename the file , and change the format ftf to zip , and open it , if there is a password u have to remove the password of the zip file , then rename it to ftf , then flash tool should recognize the file

I have the same problem, did you solve it??
Thank you.

hello i have the problem too, linux and windows

when tft is not seen ,i recommend to extract tft content, and create new one using Tool -> Bundles -> Create.
If is file corrupted, you will see it during extraction process.

Here, aside from Flashtool not detecting FTF inside "firmwares", It also has no "Devices" info to choose from, so "Bundle" can't be completed as well... in other words, stuck at unable to flash firmware. I will try with an older Flashtool version later, cause I'm struggling with the very latest one...

Wait. I kinda like your proposed workaround... though I haven't tried yet. How does this password looks like?

To whoever finds this thread in search of an answer, like I did, here's the solution that helped me:
Go to C:/Users/username/.flashtool/devices, delete all the files there and clone https://github.com/Androxyde/devices manually (I guess you can delete everything except .git folder, download repo as zip and extract it there).
Somehow flashtool doesn't clone it fully, and some devices folders end up not having .properties file.
