Hey guys. Sorry if this question was already asked but i cant seem to find this. And yes i did my research (4solid hours).
I cant seem to get the drivers for the Xperia play right.
I installed android SDK and tried numerous different drivers but i cant find any that solve my <waiting for device> problem.
I flashed before but this time i cant seem to get it to work.
Bootloader and root are available for me.
Im running a pc on windows xp. USB debugging is on, and im running the stock .145 rom. Rooted.
Can someone help me out please? I want to try out the Free Xperia rom.
Greetings.

Have you installed HTC Sync, and what are you trying to do?
Yes, sure, HTC installed and works fine. When getting phone in bootloader state PC couldnt find driver "Android 1.0"...
Are you trying to install a rom? I had the same thing, but carried on and put the phone into recovery. Win.7 64bit then installed the driver and it worked.
Try that.
What driver you've installed?
I have HTC sync installed, and the sdk kit. You need both to root.
I have both too.. Sync and SDK
Did you try to go ahead and put the phone into recovery, wait about 10 seconds, then use the recovery windows.bat?
At worst you will just have to take the battery out if it doesn't work...
If it still won't work I'd suggest you use the guide for Tiny Core Linux. It's foolproof and you won't hit any driver issues.
After searching the forums i still havent found a solution.
The problem is i decided to unlock the bootloader using Sony on my Arc S a day ago.
Now when i connect the USB it will not connect to the MSC or MTP though the computer pings and sony companion comes up but says the usual reboot etc.
I have tried all the different combinations of turning USB debug and other things on and off but to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problems and fixed it?
Try reinstalling PC companion with the option in phone connection.

Sorry to say thats not working :s
Any idea if factory reset may work? Holding off doing that cos hate having to put everything back on lol
Factory reset did not work
Any thought on my next options would be appreciated?
Can i still install a different ROM to the memory card? I have no recovery so i dont know if i can do much of anything?
Thanks for any help.
How did you unlock your bootloader

is your camera and home button not functioning too ? reflash back using flashtool or if it doesn't work, use wotanserver..
I now have it running after using Wotanserver twice :s
The only problem now is it wont root (Bootloader is still unloacked, did it via Sony)?
I tried Doomlord but it says read only as it tries to do it.
I dont know how to use flashtools as for some reason it wont install on my computer (possible Kasperski stopping this).
How do you reinstall the ADB drivers cos i think that may be the problem.
Try the link at this post
Managed to get flash tools installed and that rooted it
It now wont update OTA so wondered if sony companion will update but will flash tools root after?
Lots of thanks to everyone for there help seems i have question after question lol.
Just when i think i know what i'm doing i get another phone and it starts again. Sticking with sony now though even if they dont have Gorrilla glass
you can't update via Sony Companion / OTA because you have unlocked bootloader..
I have rooted a DINC2 successfully in the past but for some reason I've been failing and it's VERY frustrating! I got my replacement phone 3-4 days ago and i've tried rooting it using the Revolutionary method and every time it gets stuck on "Waiting for fastboot"! No matter how many times i try it still does it. I've tried rebooting the computer and the phone, still doesnt work. My phone IS ON DEBUGGING MODE, charge only, fast boot is un checked, ive downloaded the driver, no anti virus program is running in the background and I am still having this problem! I have tried looking for the solution of this but nothing has been working, please help!
also i am using Windows Vista and I do not have access to another computer
You might be on firmware 6.*****
If so, you have to downgrade a little different way. There is a thread in development.
Are you running cmd as administrator?

This. I just got a replacement and it was on the most recent firmware. You have to downgrade using tacoroot method (or equivalent) first, then you'll be able to run Revolutionary.
Hey guys,
I am facing this prob. for quite some time. Whenever I use flashtool and connect my Xperia Arc in flash mode, the computer hangs without any warning and I jus have to restart it. FlashTool says that drivers for the device is not correctly installed.
Pl. help me with regard to this.
I am presently running CyanogenMod 9 Nightly version.
Flashtool: 0.9.8.0
Awaiting your reply
Epic Fail, Wrong Forum............................................................................................................Reportet.
reinstall driver , format your computer ??
And please note that here Development Forum
pls post it to right place -____-
Don't be so mean. Have you ever got into despair when having a problem? Have you though that the forum name is not the most relevant one? By the way, where should a question like this be posted?!
TO answer the question... it is not easy so solve. You will need to clean your PC of all possible traces of old drivers. To do that, with the phone disconnected, go to Device Manager on PC (google if you don't know how). Then, remove any possible references to your phone using the information from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff184583.aspx
After that, install Sony PC Sync software. Follow the steps. At the end, it should tell you that you should connect phone.
Everything should work now (your phone will be finally re-discovered).
Before you do that, also try to disable Debugging on the phone and set the PC connection to MTP.
Good Luck!

Preferably on the flashtool thread, failing that the Q&A section, after trying to solve the issue instead of creating a new thread/post after the first failed attempt at something.

Hi everybody,
I own Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc (LT15i) which no longer lives under the warranty time period. It became extremely slow, so I decided to flash a new ROM on it in attempt to see if that made it any faster. I rooted it and installed ClockworkMod Recovery on the phone and attempted to flash Xperia Ultimate HD 5.01 through CWM. The installation went perfectly fine, however after I did the reboot my phone doesn't get past the Sony Ericsson logo.
I've looked up all sorts of ways to fix soft bricked and bootlooped Arc's but none seem to work. When I try to use flashtool, I can't seem to be able to connect the phone to the computer and Windows comes up with "USB Device not recognized" and flashtool automatically aborts flashing. When I try to use PC Companion to repair the device, Windows doesn't recognize the device and neither does PC Companion. The same thing happens with Update Service.
I cannot enter flashmode, cannot get anywhere past the Sony Ericsson logo (including trying to access ClockworkMod Recovery) and cannot seem to get Windows to recognize the device. All drivers are installed both from Sony and flashtool.
Is there any other way I can recover my device? Thanks in advance for all help!

Hello,
I can pretty much understand your situation, but this is where we start to have a better understanding of our own device and learn from our mistake.
In fact if you want to use flash tool, you will need to prepare your PC to recognize your mobile, by means of installing appropriate drivers, commonly known as Google SDK drivers.
I shall resume somehow here and try to find a good link for you to read :cyclops:
1. Your PC need to have latest version of JAVA
2. Install Google SDK, choose appropriate drivers and apps to be installed
3.Install flashtool and appropriate devices drivers.
Try to follow this link :
1. Installation of ADB drivers and SDK : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108
2. Flashing Kernel and Rom. Be careful with compatibility and other issues, you always have surprises here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665
The above link is for HTC if im not wrong, try searching for ARC you will find it, there are loads of tutorial posted on XDA..
Here you go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508585
Dont forget read and read until you understand every single terms.
See Ya . .

The problem is that you have GB kernel, but using ICS ROM. These 2 do not work together.
Try another USB cable and/or USB port and try Flashtool/PC Companion again.

Tried that. Still no results. I've also tried using fastboot, and yes I did install all the drivers as well as the Android SDK along with the Java DK. When I enter
fastboot devices
I get no response... When I try to flash a kernel using
fastboot flash boot bootARC.img
It says waiting for device forever. The phone is plugged in and the blue light is on. The screen is still off though. When I connect it in fastboot mode to Flashtool it has the same problem (doesn't recognize the device).
Would Sony be able to fix it for me if I handed it in? Even though my warranty has been void for over a year I could probably just pay for the repair. At this rate I doubt it's possible for me to fix it...
Which Windows are you using?

Well that might be the issue,W8.I have W7 and XP never had a problem.
Did you try to run flashtool and connect the phone via usb(turn it off and just connect it don't hold any buttons,if that doesn't woek try turning it on and then connect it)-so that way flashtool might detect the device.Hope you'll get it to work.If nothing helps than try searching on google about these issues for win8.

Did you increase your system and data partition into 419 MB and 440 MB? Because if you haven't you'll get a bootloop with Xperia Ultimate HD 5.01 since this rom needs that space. I read that you have to flash Arc S kernel to achieve this but im stuck at this point because the partitions won't change for me :/
To use fastboot, install the drivers by this method.
The only working method to install fastboot on Windows 8.
