also it is .62 rom but -64 baseband no .64 not to try and be a know it all but to correct u for future questions
u can only root the .62 rom with unlocked bootloader and doomlord kernel i believe.
u cud downgrade using FLASHTOOL even with a locked bootloader as long as it is signed i believe. or so i have been told although tbh i dont think that works

[Q] wotan server ... not working

Hey guys
I have a question ., i want to flash my arc to stock rom and i want to flash it using wotan server but when i download the drivers and the wotan client it asks me for an update but it just doesn't update at all i tried many times and it didnot work
any ideas ?
thanks
and i have a small little question i want to install a theme on my brothers phone
he has an arc rooted but bootloader locked
can i do that?? and how ????? or i have to unlock the bootloader ?
thanks again

Not sure about Wotan, why not use flashtools to flash generic stock rom.
About themes if it is rooted install cwm most can be applied this way, mods can be installed as well.
Look in Dev sections and app/theme for the tools I mentioned or look at some of the how to guides.

Look in app and theme section it has an installer like an ordinary app.

[Q] Stuck at Sony Ericsson splash screen?

I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader

I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?

I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool

I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!

Feel free to ask

Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?

I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?

Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely

You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.

Firstly, welcome to the forums thanks for posting in the right section...
Secondly I need help I did this wrong is not enough information to help you. What Model is the phone?
What did you do before the issue?
What steps did you take to try and fix the issue?
Thirdly don't type one long line in all caps no one wants to read that.
Try holding power plus the up volume button wait for three vibrates.
Try flashing your stock ftf in flash tool if you can shut the phone off and go into download mode.
Lastly the thread title, I assume you have an Xperia s and since we have more then one model in this forum your title should be [Q] (Xperia s) *name of issue*

Maybe you can flash your phone to stock ROM again with the new Sony flashtool. Than you can root/flash your phone again as you like

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english
