If he has already unlocked the BL, he should flash the patched kernel from here.
zdzihu's ROM is only for locked BLs.
thanks for reply and also flash kernel but still black light
or buy new chip and resolve it

and this is hardware problem ...
but after downgrade this is happend
and no soft way to solve?
This is a hardware failure, but there are soft-workarounds, as I mentioned above, try one of the patched kernels, it should work.
I wanted to downgrade my arc s from .62 to .42 so i can root. I flashed it and after the process finished, i disconnected the phone and it started into a boot loop. I can't do anything now. How to fix this? I tried flahsing it once more but the phone is not recognized. Im afraid that the battery will dry out and afraid that it will brick the phone because when i plug it in to the power suply, doesn't shows any signs of charging.
How can i fix this please? Thanx
Pull battery out to exit the boot loop.
And then reflash the FW using Flashtool.
if i pull it out, wont it brick my phone? Thanx
Why it should brick your device?
How do you put your SIM or microSD in without pulling out the battery?
You can fix flashing a new kernel, like DoomLord kernel v18.

Simply pull out battery and reflash the rom to solve...
I fixed it. I had to flash another firmware because the one i used in the first place didn't work.
Now that im rooted, how can i update to the latest firmware? As i heard, can i do it over the air? Now im .266 and id like on .62.
Thanx

not sure about what happen if you update ota with your rooted fw,but you can update using flashtool,find some fw from dev section..

landis, the current firmware that he used should be not compatible with the kernel, some Roms not compatible, then i said to him to flash kernel, like DoomLord kernel, than fixed it...
You don't know which ROM he wants to flash, he just flashed .42 FW for root and ended up in a boot loop.
He can solve this with my instructions given in the replies, so there is no need to flash a kernel atm.

If you haven't modded some system apps and your BL is locked, OTA should work as well.

Thanx everyone for your replies. I managed to get out of the boot loop but i am still very confused what am i doing wrong because cyanogenmod doest work. I unlocked the boot loader, rooted, instaled clockwork mod, wiped the datas and caches, instaled from sd card and i always get stuck on that blue cyanogen logo while alternating witht the green press android to begin screen, 4 out of 5 times with unresponsive touchscreen. On time it managed to get to homescreen but briefly because rapidly in changed again to that blue screen loading and after a couple times i saw the cyanogen lock screen but without being able to do anything while looping in that booting or loading sequence with that blue logo screen. Im tired and confused of tryin this over an over again, and now im on .266 firmware and i guess because i have unlocked the bootloader i cant update to .42 ota and i cant find another .42 firmware for arc s that wouldnt get stuck after flashing. Any sugestions ? Thanx guys
I got my LT18i .42 Locked Bootloader. Rooted with zergrush, installed CWM using the Xperia CWM installer from the market, and all was perfect... Then updated my phone using companion %&@@&%. Then read that I can't root .62, so I downloaded a .42.ftf, flashed it booted it and noticed that now I had a LT15a at first thought it booted so should be ok I'll do a OTA update see what happens. Rooted, CWM installed. Reboot, reboot, press (any key) freezes at boot logo. Using Rom manager to reboot to recovery just reboots normally to android. For the past fiew days I was reading up on this, but could not find any definitive resolution. Tried reflasing proper LT18i .42, .58 using flash tools, and using wotan client. Tried repair with both companion and SE update service, then downgrade with flash tools and with wotan, obviously I don't mean all at once just different methods . Root seems ok titanium works I can get in and edit system/bin, /xbin. I tried manually moving the files for CWM, and changing permissions. All with no luck. Yesterday I came across a post that said that the LT15 room might have changed something to do with mounting the sd. But no explanation. I'm not a complete noob but need assistance on this.
Thanx guys.
Flash an Arc S firmware on your Arc S and you should be good to go.

PS.
I got Locked Bootloader BTW.

try unlocking your bootloader, why not? unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
Thanx anthraxter
I have been thinking verry hard about that, but still on a contract, so dont want to mess with that. i have been plaing with fiew rooms on my X8 (unlocked Bootloader) before i got this ARC S, and not without snags, but allways managet to get it back up. Do you think it's the bootloaders fault??
BL
I can't tell you for sure but I would suggest you to unlock it (75%) . Download this LT18i_4.0.1.A.0.266_CUSTOMIZED-UK -( mediafire.com/?ie832txe46ia2bh) Always worked for me to do a clean install if i was gonna flash-it, download ROM Manager again and it should work. Gotta love playing. .
I'll Try it Thank you.
flashing with flashtools, or wotan should wipe all left over date, cash, davlik, ect..
unlike using CWM to install update.zip where you need to do it manu.
or am i crazy?
I personally use only flashtool. That does the whole job.

No Cigar. still lockes up at first SE logo if i manualy want to get in, and if i use any software method from within android to reboot in to recovery it simply reboots back to android. Tried (flashing, rooting, cwm) with and without SD. This Sucks, what good is an Android device without CWM.
there has to be some way to get it to fff work.
Ok, so it goes like this.. Flash a new firmware, flash a stock kernel with CWM ( DooMKernel) through flashtool of course and the kernel through fastboot.. U done that?

I've had a similar experience today with a Arc S LT18i. Was on .42 (rooted and some system bloatware
removed). I tried an OTA upgrade last night, but this failed, presumably because I'd deleted some system apps. I then (without reading forums first - big mistake) upgraded with PC companion to .62 and THEN read that I couldn't root it again. After much reading of forums I found a version of LT15i .42 and flashed that - and rooted it again.
Then the problems started, I tried an OTA upgrade, and it failed mid-upgrade, giving me a blue arrow pointing down onto a screen with a yellow triangle of doom with an exclamation mark.
Flashtool didn't want to know for ages, then (fortunately) it suddenly let me flash back to .42. I've rooted it again, and any apps that weren't there have been re-installed. From what I can tell the LT15i (Arc) seems absolutely fine, with no visible difference from LT18i at all.
The question is - should I just leave it as it is and avoid risking bricking it again, or do I really need to try and get an ARC S version of .42 onto it with Flashtool, so I can upgrade to ICS when the time comes. If so, does anyone have a good link to .42 for LT18i pls? Ideally not from uploaded.to as that site was driving me nuts.
Thanks, and good luck to the OP who had similar issues.

That's cool. But with a locked bootloader there is no fastboot
So what I do is flash LT18i 2.3.4 .42 using wotan client, root using zergrush. Now at this point phone can be updated to .62 , using the updater inside the phone AKA - OTA, that way I end up with LT18i .62 rooted, Locked bootloader. It is very important to keep in mind that this method for update will only work if ALL oryginal SYSTEM applications are on the phone.
I tried To Iinstall CWM on a locked bootloader using : NAn's app from market, extreme tweeker, both CMD methods, and manual method using root explorer.
By now I can do it all with my eyes closed hehe, but still can't get in to CWM.
unlock your bootloader then flash doom's kernel

Until ICS comes out i dont want to unlock my bootloader
Is it posible to flash firmware .ftf (with flashtools) that is already rooted and has CWM instaled, on a locked bootloader?
also is there any way to flash CWM backup on to the phone, if i cant get in to CWM (convert it to .ftf) ?
Can someone post a link to LT18i firmware that is rooted and has CWM instaled. For locked bootloader (.ftf) ?
OK. So i'm a "GENIUS" LOL
i got a reason to belive that simlinks got screwed.
I failed to manchen that affter i upgraded the firm to 62 with pc companion, i tried to ROOT again but when: DooMLoRD zergRush did not work i decided to give a try SuperOneClick, then FlashTools... Kurrrr.
eaven thugh they all use Mr. zerg's methode there is another choice psneuter, if i uderstand correctly the two methods differ a bit.
So simlinks dont get whiped, nor deleated when flashing, or restoring with seus.
or am i missing something eaven simpler like "reflash with SD inserted But no SIM, take out battery(or DON'T take out the baterry untill rebooting the Phone twice" or some think briliant as such.
like the one for relocking bootloader in The SE X8.
Can i deleate the simlinks and what ever i belive wrong, then UnRoot, whipe, reflash, root, CWM?
Would that fix it?
the phone is usless without CWM
Unlocking BL is not an option for me, i'm afraid
SOLVED
Ok. I managed to install CWM using flashtool. Entering CWM no problems, creating backup no problem, but after restoring from backup the phone was freezing every time.
puppet13th was nice enough to help, it was not easy so THANX VERY MUCH MAN.
The problem is that my partition layout got messed up. this is how it is setup.

Hey there guys,
I've got a bit of a problem...
I have an Xperia arc S here, Locked bootloader. CWM installed through flashtool.
I tried to flash a rom (Yes, with compatitibility for locked bootloader). Ofcourse I made a backup, then wiped everything before flashing, also formatted the required items.
However, the phone gets stuck in a bootloop, I also can't boot into recovery...
So, any of you guys got an idea, something possible through fastboot? or PCC?
Thanks in advance.
If your phone's bootloader is locked then the best solution would be to repair it with PCC or SEUS!
Or you can manually flash the appropriate ftf file using flash tool!
Trying PCC now, got some bad experiences with it though using an xperia sola. Lets hope for the best.
First time doesn't work, would anyone be kind enough to provide a link to a ftf file?
PCC finished it in the second round... Thanks mate.
Install CWM with X-Parts from Play Store.
Hi guys i am so nervous because of mi xps doesn´t weak up, its already in bootloop.
I have tried a lot of things, because i have an unlocked bootloader, the pc recognised the phone, and it seems that via fastboot i can flash a recovery like Advanced Stock Kernel, but really the phone still in bootloops and i have not got recovery
I have connected to flashtools and flash .55 ftf, the flashtools told that everything is good, but incomprensively de phone still in bootloops.
Now the phone is charging (all the leds working) but after five minutes, the phone turns on and bootloop again.
The zip that i flash before the bootlops is this: http://www.mediafire.com/?67mcui28bh3f45o of this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1724602 , ICS STATUS BAR V3
can someone help me please?
THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH
Try flashing stock fw using flashtool again?
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
you are on .55, the version used for that mod is .45 thats why you get bootloop, all you need to do is to reflash the stock firmware via flashtool.
always been said before: before to do anything else,make a backup.so in case of problems you will still have your backup.
Or you can now use the official flash tool from Sony.

There is no chance of problems using the official generic world firmwares provided by Sony itself
