Problaly your problem started with using wrong kernel...and after that you brick your bootloader etc with SEUS.
Look around forum and here is thread and help for that. Searh "unbrick bootloader, trim area etc" it think.

I just installed CM7.1 on my SE arc and followed all the instructions on this forum. It works just nice, except for this "little" problem: my baseband is set to unknown and I just can't get any carrier. Tried lots of different sim chips, tried to flash it with FlashTools, but it won't recognize my phone, tried OpenRecovery...
I'm desperate, need some answers! I'm a noobie and got no clue what do do... Any help?
Flash the 368 ftf file first then start again.

As I told you, I'm having problems in reckognizing my device in FlashTools. It says it is X10 mini or something.
XperienceD, if it's not asking too much, you mind in putting in links for what you suggested me to do? I'm totally lost in here...
Google the flashtool and see the first link in my Sig to get the link to 368.

Ok hey all So i been reading here on xda for some time.
And i have been reading about the development for the our play and the nice progress the devs been doing with ICS.
My phone is a R800i
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
Version: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Locked Bootloader
Not rooted
No sim lock works with all providers never been locked.
I havn't flashed so much phones in my day, some wm mobiles, and iphones and a lg gt540
So i need some help with what to do
I know the first thing is to unlock bootloader
but after that? If some one could point me to the files i need, just the specefic files just for my phone. And a step by step what to do like flash a rom first then kernel or kernel first then rom and if there is any other files i should use before i flash rom/kernel
And if some nice people could give me some hints on the best ICS rom.
I want this either this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524159
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404712
those two seems to the most stable atm. Or if anyone other have suggestions like CM9 or something like that
Cheers!

Well I do know is that you don't have to unlock bootloader to root

I have but hey would be nice if you helped out instead of commenting like that
You said it's sim unlocked, right? If you bought one that isn't carrier locked, you can unlock your bootloader using the guide on the Sony mobile site. After unlocking the bootloader, flash a cwm kernel, and all the possibilities have then been opened.
Seriously though, the guides are easy to find. Google is your friend. Just tell it to search xda specifically.

Hey yea i been reading alot and i think i know now how it all works think i'll wait for some time. People seem to have alot problems with battery drain =/ Seems it can be fixed through Setcpu. And how about the overlock? i did read that some kernel have the phone overclocked to 2.0 ghz. Does it shorten the life of the phone? Not the battery life but the phone's life?
//Virtualxp
Right I have been doing the same read all the Info available and been on the Sony site check to see if I can unlock the boatloader but that's were I have come unstuck as it's saying that I can't unlock my boot loader. Some help guys would be great the ics update is taking ages and want to play about with my phone.

Is yours carrier locked? If so, you need to unlock the bootloader with something like omnius or setool.
@virtualxp - Overclocking anything too high will always shorten it's life. Going to 1.4-1.5 ghz shouldn't make a difference, but 2ghz is very high.
For battery drain issues, there are solutions. A lot of people noticed the battery getting worse after the 2.3.4 update, so either they're sticking with older firmware, or mixing builds and kernels.
My phone for example has the 2.3.4 (.42) firmware with a stock kernel from 2.3.3, and a baseband belonging to a separate build altogether. And I managed to combine those without an unlocked bootloader.. Mind you, it was a pain in the ass doing it without getting stuck with boot loop. But this way, I have less battery issues, and I can still use the themes and mods made for the .42 build.

In flashtool, there's an option to exclude the kernel and another for baseband. I flashed one firmware, then flashed another while excluding kernel, and then again while excluding the kernel and baseband, using three different ftf files.
For applying themes and mods without unlocking the bootloader, I used the T.E.A.M. locked bootloader recovery installer, and flashed them with the update.zip files through that recovery. You can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840

Search around the forum, there's plenty of tutorials out there. Also do some research before you do anything to your phone. Don't try it if you cannot understand the instructions.

At sony's logo?
Then you dont have an unlock bootloader, and you can't install any CM based ROM.
Use the pc companion or whatever software recommended on those tutorials to flash an original firmware form sony and bring "back to life" your phone. I don't know if you need to root your phone again (it disappear)
Thanks guys flashing it worked...just needed to wipe cache thanks
