Xperia Arc S Problem. Please Help! :(

Hi Guys.
I need your help. I recently bought a second hand Xperia Arc S from a friend.
It had no problems what-so-ever. When I got it I factory data reset it.
It was working fine. Then I unlocked the bootloader rooted it and install cwm.
It was still fine. I then installed Doomlords kernal and installed Titanium Backup.
I removed all the apps and stuff i did not need or want. I made no ackups of the stock rom or any of the apps. Then today i Hard reset it to find i have no lockscreen i dont here a sound when i recive a call ot text and my camera no longer works also usb is not recognised by the phone, so i can't get to mass storage mode meaning i CAN'T USE SEUS OR PCC!. I then went off today and tried to flash the ICS .ftf and I got errors.
WHAT DO I DO! PLEASE HELP I'M A COMPLETE ANDROID NOOB
Thanks in advanced.
Chris

Of course ..
but flashing Unofficial kernel won't let it boot " as I know .. "
I had this problem when I tried to relock my bl and my mobile died for 5 hours cuz It was on unofficial kernel , I wasn't able to unlock it again , and not able to fix by Update service or pc companion ..
until I found that I should have just flashed the official Rom , then I was able to re-unlock the boot loader ..
and play Hack mode and kill my mobile with Cutom Roms again ...

oh okay. Flashing now

i got another error. will post log now.

This can be helpful for anyone whose ROM isn't working. It is directed to noobs who accidentally ruins their custom ROM so they can start over. Also the reason why I'm doing this is because I searched the forums and I could not find a guide that was simple for noobs to understand, which would always work no matter what you did wrong. I've used this method so many times and it has saved me countless times. I thought the least I could do was to share.
I hope I answered your questions.

Why why why do People use uploaded.to links, and feel the need to rehost files to it. Just link directly to the flashtool and use mediafire for anything else.

I collected links from different guides/threads on youtube and xda and assembled them into this full guide. I did not bother to re-upload the files because I did not find it necessary though I agree, mediafire is really good. I will change flashtool link.

Thanks for taking the time to make this guide, sadly when I was a real noob I couldn't find any guide like this...

I understand this reply is far too late but for people in the future:
You cannot upgrade to ICS when your bootloader is unlocked. You can easily lock it again using this small FTF file. When the upgrade with PC companion is complete, you can continiue modifying your phone with custom ROMs etc.

It is very hard for me to know what is causing this problem. Some minor modifications to the flashing procedure can potentially fix it. Try doing it like this: Open FlashTool, drag the FTF-file and drop it in the dialog box. Press ok and wait for the instructions to pop up. When they do, connect the USB-cable FIRST to the phone and after that hold back key while plugging it to the computer. If the battery of the phone is too low I think it can cause problems, try to charge your battery (if possible) and try again. Also make sure to flash the appropriate FTF-file, accordning to your model.

What is "dead boot"?
Does phone vibrate when powered on?
Any lights on led?
What happened when you plug it PC? (nothing, something...)
What happened when you press search or back and plug it in pc?
What is your model? i,a,at,x?
How your phone died in first place?
Do you have locked/unlocked bootloader?
What was latest firmware/rom installed on phone?
did you overclock it before it died?
If you just saying "help me, my Play is dead" and not providing any info, then no one will be able to help you. Even worse, no one will be willing to even bother asking questions that you should say in first place...
And yes, one of reason your Play don't work is that motherboard is dead, so no one can help you. Just be ready for that answer even if you don't like it

Well, good news, you Play is not tottaly dead (green light means battery is charging and full)
Do you have drivers installed for phone?
-Try the following:
press and hold back button and while keeping it press connect usb to PC. Now right click on "my computer" and choose "manage". click on "device manager". Do you see anything named "sony" there. What exactly does it say? (something like sa102, unknown,etc...)
-Did you try to flash stock firmware with flashtool?
Guide where to download and use it can be found in thread [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
And you can download firmware from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post, choose file named R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf

It is not impossible, but as i said, for you could be very difficult (since you don't know much about Play's hardware and it's probelms)
As FaiselW said, try also to relock bootloader.
Bricking is common fault when doing OTA update on unlocked bootloader

Wrong. You can still use Flashtool even with a locked bootloader. If you're new to this, I suggest you use the PC Companion to repair your phone since it is easier.

[Q] How to totally wipe Xperia M and start all over?

Greetings, I have Xperia M, Single Sim, C1905 (firmware 15.1.C.2.8). Half-rooted.
As I explained in this thread here I am unable to achieve full-root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50832326) due to something screwy on my phone. I have already full-rooted my girlfriend's Xperia M, same firmware, with no problem at all so this is how I know that there is something wrong with my phone that wont let me achieve full root.
I have already done a Factory Reset which didn't help me achieve full-root either so I would like to totally wipe the phone and start with a fresh OS as if it's brand new from the store. My question is: How can I do this? What tools do I need and what steps would I need to follow? Please help me out...
Note: This may have happened because I used the NUT Tool designed for the dual-sim version of this phone at first when I first tried to full-root it. So now when I try to use the Anto Kus Tool for the single sim variant which I should have used the first damn time it doesn't work. If anyone knows how to erase whatever "data" the dual-sim NUT tool put on my phone that is interfering with the single-sim Anto Kus Tool I would appreciate it. Like I said, a hard factory reset (but I didn't wipe SDcard0) didn't help. But I guess if no one knows how to do that then I will need to totally wipe the phone and start over... (or buy a new phone!)

Thanks for your reply, any instructions on how to do this? When I plug in my phone to my computer, PC Companion says my phone is fully updated which is true (newest firmware). And I don't see any option in PC Companion where it says "Repair Firmware" or something similar. My options from left to right are Support Zone, Xperia Transfer, Contacts Setup, Media Go, Sync Zone, Backup & Restore & File Manager. Cheers

Thank you most kindly, your instructions have finally made it possible for me to full root my darn phone haha. I had to do the repair procedure just like you said, then first thing I did was the Impactor, Supersu, BusyBox, and finally AntoKus which finally gave me some looooove. Thanks again
