Get wotan server or flashtool and reflash.

Hi Guys, I have an Xperia Arc (SO-01C) which was Bricked after a failed update... i know this has probably been asked a couple thousand times here before, but here me out, pls:
1. I found a few (3 or 4) threads in XDA that were about similar/same issue with Xperia Arcs
2. I followed the steps (Some using flashtool and some using the Sony Update Service)
3. Both methods successfully flash the device (or at-least the software says it has)
4. Here's the problem:
After Flashing a sony firmware (Stock) it still will not boot
When pressing the power button the Green LED flashes (at a rate of 1 per second appoximately)
When i plug in the USB cable, it does not charge either (Instead it lights up the GREEN LED, which i think is flashmode)
So any help would be great if you guys have seen this behavior before...
[UPDATE]
Also, i think the Firware on the phone may have been modified cause it is DOCOMO branded, but there is no sim lock, so i think it may have been unlocked by previous owner...
Cheers
Re: [Q] Xperia Arc (SO-01C): Bricked after failed update
Had the same issue after a unsuccessfull kerler flash with flashtool.
I relocked, repaired with pccompanion, but it still didnt boot. Just a green led for a moment flashed.
After a half hour it started automaticly by itself. Guess i was lucky.
How much battery did you have before starting flashing?

Warranty out? For the shop...
Re: [Q] Xperia Arc (SO-01C): Bricked after failed update
No warranty cause it's a docomo branded phone and has been sim unlocked...
Well as promised! Here is my update:
I got Ginger Bread running back on it. They at the shop had SETools and unlocked the bootloader and from there it was smooth sailing.

I've experienced the same problem
the solution is
use pcc then select the repair until the process is complete
and then restart your hh

just follow this instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095656
but you should download docomo firmware 4.0.1.C.1.31 @ http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?...1&engine_h=1&engine_e=1&engine_m=1&engine_4=1
flash it with flashtool 0.6.9.1, dont use latest flashtool because it cannot read the ftf file.
This guide resolves my bricked NTT docomo xperia SO-02c, also updated to andorid 4.0.3..
hope this resolves your bricked xperia.
Download the latest version of the flash tool.
The green light blinks coz there maybe no charge in your phone.
After flashing dont turn on the phone connect it to the charger.
If the sony logo appears then there is nothing wrong with your phone.
If it doesn't appear visit the sony mobile service center.
Hope it helped.

my phone wont boot it gets stuck at sony ericssion and flashtool wont connect
PC Companion
I don't know what you did in the first place, maybe if you point it, we can get to the solution, but you should try on use PC Companion, to restore the firmware, after that you could use Flashtool again, it happend to me the first time I flash my phone, lol
:laugh:
Oh nvm l fixed it

Hi All,
I am trying to flash Jellybean Firmware on my xperia ion through flashtool. I have done this before but as i installed a wrong zip the ion's very very laggy and causes many bugs. When I try to flash the firmware it tells me to connect the device in flashmode, I stay calm as done before, but this time it won't recognize my device. The screen keeps showing and after 10-15 Seonds the ions boots again, No flashing or whatever. Please Please Help me! Thanks Alot.
Fixed the issue!
