I try to follow the instruction from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115542,that,that

However, after flashing. as i power on the phone to do the first rebooting, it make me wait up to 20 min, and suddenly my phone make a continuous beep sound, and then leave a blank screen with no respond.
currently i have no idea to make my phone comeback. i try to reflash back with generic firmware "mt15i_3.0.1.a.0.145_GLOBAL.ftf" again with flashloader.
I try to press the back button to insert the USB to bein the flashing, but the pc can't detech the phone at all.
Is there anyone can help me through with this?

I encountered before. You have to do the driver setup again using the exe under \Flashtool\drivers. Afterwards, re-try again.

could u be more specific on \Flashtool\drivers. which version that u use?
really appreciate tat
Ps: Thanks i find it already, and the phone start flashing again. waiting the flashing progress right now

is your phone fully charged ?
when the battery is under 30 % or so, it won't go into flash mode ( had this problem with my ARC )
thanks for the reply, my phone back to original already

in case there is new ROM or way to handle the phone.
where should we post it?

root error - aborted. now arc won't start anymore, nor flash. help me plz

I was trying to root my xperia arc.
i started flashtool, everything went alright. then error -aborted.
now phone can't start anymore, I can't do anything with it.
plz help me
You have to tell a little more to get the right help.
Bootloader locker or unlocked?
What firmware did you use when rooting the device?
What did you use to root, Gingerbreak?
i'm sorry
bootloader locked, never touched that
i never touched anything. I'm on 2.3.3, so I was trying to get back to rootable version.
its when i was trying to flash it to previous version that flashtool aborted. saying : power on go to settings and turn on ressources and debugging.
but i can't do anything with. It doesn't even start up.
thx
no prob, can imagine you're upset
did you try to flash it again?
How was your battery when starting in the first place?
Did you try to start up with power cable plugged in?
wow i just tried sony ericsson update service, and now the phone seems to start up.
the mistake i did i think is that i forgot to reinstall the sd card before starting to flash it.
as i'm writing this the phone is correctly working. so now was the sd card remove the mistake ?
1st option
I would say unlock the bootloader and reflash with the newest firmware, or you could just try this
2nd option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
I had the same problem (but my boot loader was unlocked) and it sorted it out, I thought it was just flashtool but it isnt theres special files in the firmware folder that unbrick the arc, let us know how you get on. try the 2nd option first
If its working now then it was a semi brick, option 2 fixes them no problem, try reflashing if you get the same problem just use the 2nd option afterwards and it will work fine
@grat_master
dunno bout the sd card, but glad SEUS did the trick for you.
@yusuo
can you unlock your bootloader when the device won't even start?
anyways, things worked out, no need to do more i think
ok so now the phone is working correctly.
but i tried it a second time to flash with flashtool, and it did the same thing. flash aborted, power on go to settings and turn on ressources and debugging.
what am i doing wrong ? i'm following namaste guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
but it just doesn't work.
yes you can, you put it in fast boot mode (turn phone off, then hold back button and plug usb in while still holding back button)
If is still doesnt turn on after use the brick fix (option 2)
Seemingly others have had problems too..
Common reasons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162492&page=2
And try running flashtool as administrator and make sure you have the lt15.sin in loaders directory..
Unlocking bootloader is good if you want to install a custom ROM.. But u void your warranty and loose DRM (If you care bout those that is..)
LT15.sin is already in loader directory
and I'm also running it as admin, I also disabled user control.
Which firmware are you trying to flash, the UK or HK version? Maybe it's a corrupt file?

i live in canada, and i'm using a rogers branded phone, samething as in the video of namaste guide.
i am trying to flash north america generic and world generic, neither worked.
Have you tried removing the battery after flashing, and then putting it back and then boot up?
Sent from my LT15i
it can't flash !
i am not able to flash anything, it stops before end and the phone remains in flash mode even if I deconnect usb cable. I can connect it back to pc without pressing back button and the green light is on again. that's after the flashing crash.
now the phone is ok, I can go internet, receive give calls, but I still have my sms problem that I have since beginning. I'm sending it back again to sony for repairs. HAHA I received it from repairs yesterday, and I got exactly same problem as before. I hope they change it. I think my phone is broken /end of story. Broken from beginning.
Anyway, I'm heading back to my Rogers detailer now to see what they can do again.
Thx for help. I'll try to root again when I get it back.
Okay, good luck, hope you get a replacement!
my service provider Rogers Canada is sending me a new Xperia Arc, should receive it in 3-4 days. As soon as I receive it, I'm gonna try root.
I'll let you know if it's working or not.
ok so i received my new xperia arc. now my sms problems are solved ! hourra
but i still can't flash it to root. It just don't want to do it.
what am I doing wrong ? I'll try a new ftf file. Can it be related to a bad sd card ?

So, you did not root or unlock the bootloader? Then sony MUST repair your phone.

[Q] [SOLVED] Tried installing CM 10.1.0 RC5 Odin now the screens just black

Well, after a series of rooting and trying to get CWM recovery on my Xperia ZL and getting SuperSU I decided it was time to update to CM 10.1.0 RC5 Odin I didn't unlock my bootloader cause I don't know how, to my knowledge of a video I saw online if your phone says that you cannot unlock your bootloader than you can't. So I just thought it was okay to install CM 10.1.0 and did so, now my phone is stuck in infinite reboot without any sort of logo and just stuck at a black screen. I was wondering if any of you guys can help me solve this :\ thanks!

If you can still access CWM Recovery you can try to restore a backup of your old system. Otherwise you will have to flash an FTF using Flashtools.
(You can find the FTF that belongs to your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094).
If it is your first time using Flashtools you can search here in xda for guides, there are many that explain how to flash a FTF
And, as I said in another post before, every rom that needs to flash a Kernel (CM10.1, PAC, ReVolt, etc) you must have an unlocked bootloader unless it's tagged as a stock based rom.

I love you so much man, thanks a lot. I'm going to try out a couple of methods to at least restore the phone to 4.1.2. Do you have any advice on how to unlock the bootloader or any roms that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader?
Edit: By the way, I can't access CWM I wish I could, but I tried pressing the hard OFF button on the back of the phone and I tried pressing every button as well, it doesn't connect to my laptop or computer at all. Any way I can connect it to reset it?

Actually all Stock Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094) don't require an unlocked bootloader, but if you want to unlock it so you can install Custom Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095) that are not Stock based here is a very nice Tutorial about how to do the Unlock Bootloader procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

You are the boss man, thanks a bunch I was so worried about my phone. I just got it and was about to unlock it for a company that's super cheaper than all the other phone companies. I'm currently flashbooting it so I can restore it. I will take a peak at the bootloader unlocking procedure and I'm going to thank you again for your help.
Edit: My phone is being recognized in Flashmode only and randomly disconnects and reconnects. I hope I can flash it when the .zip is done downloading. I'll keep you posted.
Edit 2: I'm stuck on FlashTools "Reading Device Information" :\ now I'm stuck at 7% of Flashing Data and it hasn't moved

I would recommend you to flash this FTF first because you need to recover your android system first so you can move files in and out, install recoveries, etc. After doing so you can continue with that rom

Do a hard reset on it (using the button on the back), don't turn it on and follow the Flashtools flashing process
1.- Open Flashtools
2.- Flash mode > Flashmode > Select the FTF you just downloaded (The one of 700+MB) > Flash
3.- Connect your Phone if Flash mode (It will start flashing).
4.- Boot your phone and you're ready to go.
When selecting the FTF just select it and leave everything as it is and make sure that you have installed the drivers for flashing (
They are where found you installed Flashtools
In a folder called Drivers, open the .exe and Install these:
- Fastboot drivers
- Flashmode drivers
- Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers
If stills doesn't works I can't help any far as that, but I would suggest you that If you are able try to flash it on another computer (It might sound silly but It could actually work ), also make sure that you're running the latest Flashtool which is v0.9.11.0 and can be found here: http://androxyde.github.io/

[Q] Xperia S Black Screen but phone is working

Hi everyone,
I hope you guys can help me with my problem.
I recently decided to root my Xperia S and put a custom rom on it.
The first thing i did was unlocking my bootloader following this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Then i rooted the device with this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44918676&postcount=1
Instead of putting the 6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly immediatly after the rooting process i first installed recovery using this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308493
Only after installing recovery i put the kernel back to 6.2.B.1.96.
After this my phone was fully working, rooted with unlocked bootloader and latest official version.
I wanted to try to install a custom rom on it and installed this one --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476341 trough recovery.
I wasn't happy about this rom and wanted to try a different one but could not access the recovery anymore.
At this point i used an official 6.2.B.1.96 tft to install everything back to official. After this i noticed my root privileges were gone.
I wanted to root it back so i tried to follow the rooting tutorial again and flashed my kernel back to 6.2.B.0.211.
After this flash my screen turned black and i am not able to see anything on it.
My touchscreen and phone is still working as i hear the screenlock sound when i swipe my screen to unlock it.
I am still able to take pictures, to plug it on my computer (I see the pictures in DCIM) and flashmode and fastboot are still working.
I searched the past day on the net at tried everything i could find. I flashed again, tried with Emma, locked my bootloader again and tried with PCC but nothing works. Screen stays black.
Please, i hope you guys can guide me trough this process.
Thank you !
Update: I connected my phone with an HDMI cable to my tv and i can see my phone on the screen.
I am sure the phone is working.
Please guys help me, i have no idea what to do now.
