Phone won't start up ? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the thing , I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone a while back (probably using an already outdated software , if i remembered correctly it was 2.3.3 , but i knew i followed the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650)
Today, my phone asked if I wanted to update the software (like an automated software update) and i could choose to update or not and i chose yes but now , my phone won't start up for like 3 hours already . I tried turning it on but it won't turn on , i tried charging it but there isn't any lights which was supposed to be there .
So I decided to google it and i followed the instructions here
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/26720
but after installing both , choosing my phone , followin the instructions on update service , it gets stuck on "it contains a modified software that cannot be updated" so decided to come back here to ask you guys what I should do .
Right now , all I want to do is for my phone to start up again , any ideas ?
edit : right now , i took out the battery , and put it back in . This time when I tried to turn it on , the vibrate is there which wasn't there initially and theres 1 flash of the green light on the side of the phone .
and also , i think its recognized by the computer because i can hear the sound notification (the same sound when you plug a USB into a computer) which wasn't there before I did the update service thingy .
edit 2 : it won't go into safemode either when i tried clicked the right and left buttons below the display (the menu and back button) and the power button after that . yes i tried reinserting the battery .
edit 3 : I'm not sure if this'll help but my phone is recognized as SEMC flash device (i checked on device manager) and theres a green colour non flashing light when i plug my phone into the pc .

OMG
Thanks
Sorry for not searching , I tried looking for Xperia arc won't load up / start up but it didn't give me this thread .
Thanks again
edit : i thanked you too

same problem!!!
Guys, I was trying to modify my phone so that applications would be saved in memory card instead of internal storage, so I rooted it and stuff.. Now it won't turn on!!! When I switch it on, it shows the SE logo and does nothing else.. I tried to enter the safemode menu (holding left and right keys when switching on, or volume down key and home key when turning on) but nothing works!!! I'm like desperate now so any help would be really appreciated!

Universal Dead flashing

Hi, a friend have 2 pda universal from vodafone that he has flashed and killed. I don´t know what happend. pda always shows USB and v1.00. After a lots o rom updates still dead, i have JAFWM, but with or without this machine is dead.
any rom especial version?
any soft?
thanks.
1. Try to restart the device in bootloader mode(Light key, power and reset pressed together)
2. Look at the display (should say Serial and version at the bottom)
3. Disable the USB connection in Active Sync otherwise the update will crash.
4. Plug in USB Cable (Screen Should now show USB at the top)
5. Start original Upgrade from your provider or take the upgrade you want to use with the MA_UpGrade_noid.exe.
6. After Flashing restart device with both soft keys at the bottom of the screen ( Buttons with - on it) pressed.
7. When asked type 0 to erase all data.
9. Device should start normally, if it doesn't do not hesitate to ask.
device always start in bootloader mode, i flash all times without problems, but when i restart device, automatically puts on bootloader mode.
after flash, make factory settings but,after this, restart in same mode.
always, when i run update program soft MaUpgradeUt_noID, detects no rom in pocket loaded.
strange problem on 2 pda´s ?
thanks
That shouldn't be a problem. Just continue to flash the rom. There could be a problem with your bootloader and the upgrade version (AKU2) you want to use.
Maybe it's a problem with bootloader.
Try it, maybe it will help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=11414
i think same as you, only problem with ROM image, but i have flashed many roms but I can´t revive device. So i ask name of Rom tht can revive pda.
Br.
PD. how i can flash the archive attached?
The rar file mentioned above is only the bootloader you already got on your device.
In your case i would use an old AKU1 rom and to see if it works.
hi guys
i have same problem. show only boot loader mode. how to use this boot loader file. wich AKU1 file is working. my phone is MDA PRO from germany T-mobile, i wan't to update ro to English. after flashing many times, many rom no result. help me

Hello Siemens Man
Which Bootloader do you have ?
It would be great if you could make an backup of your bootloader then, that i could downgrade my phone and try to unlock it.(If do not know how to make an backup, thats no problem, because i can show you how to do it)
greetz
hi man

thanks a lot
Did you try to update your phone to the latest orange rom for testing yet ?
If not try it out (I know it is said to be slow, but only if all orange customizations are installed) If it runs then its ok.
Otherwise try to use the exitbl.exe mentioned somewhere in this forum, hopefully it works.
connect to mtty and issue set 14 0 and then restart the device or use exitbl utility by buzz

When to upgrade from bootloader, I guess you have to turn of your activesync, you can not allow activesync to use usb or download activesync toogle from: http://www.micrologics.co.uk/ (I use it to make use AS don't bother my prosses). And maybe the ROM file is broken?

XDA Stealth no bootloader (cannot boot)

Dear all,

go to www.seeo2.com, download a rom upgrade utility from there.. then start upgrade procedure again. As xda stealth is a hybrid phone..dont try any custom roms on it..
thank's malhar for responding my thread.
i already download the upgrade rom from the o2 site (now is www.mwg.com), i put the rom to my SDCard, the problem is how can i enter the boot loader, in case my stealth always in blank screen with call and end button are light.
i already press press power + call + end button, but my stealth stuck on that condition. every method of flashing mode i already try but no response from my stealth.
Syaipul
oh yea malhar, for information i read the procedure for upgrading on o2 site that connect status is required for upgrading procedure in activecync, my stealth has disconnected status when i plug to my com. can i do the upgrade the rom in this case?
buddy, remove ur sd card from the device first..and then hard reset ur device by pressing reset button via stylus, then flag which is windows home key and then ok key..reset+flag+ok.. maintain the sequence..press reset first keep on pressing then flag and ok key.. it will format ur device.... then try to flash new rom on it
ok malhar, i'll try tomorrow. thanks.....1000x
sad-sad-sad
my stealth cannot boot (black screen, call and End Button are light) after i flash my stealth with wrong ram on miniSD. please any one can help me to recover my Stealth
Your SPL boot loader sounds like it is gone, formatted...
You may be able to patch it, using scripts & mtty if you can get into DL mode. Sounds like you're stuck in OEMSBL though.
help me !!!!
i have try pressing flat and ok botton to format . but nothing appear on the screen . is the other way to format or upgrade rom .
• The device doesn't boot, I see only O2 logo. Hard reset doesn't help and the Firmware update process stops with the first message?
1. turn off the device;
2. enter engineering mode;
3. in Main menu choose Boot Config;
4. in Configuration menu choose EBOOT-Launch Image;
5. turn off the device;
6. now hard reset or upgrade firmware.
Sometimes helps another method: leave the device without the battery for about 30 minutes, then turn your O2 XDA Stealth on.
• How to enter engeneering mode?
1. turn off your O2 XDA Stealth ;
2. hold Flag, OK and Camera + press and hold Power button;
3. use navigation buttons to select the settings.

Goto to your PDA setting and uncheck USB to PC.
Note: Check task before connecting to USB ensure no task including Active Sync.
FYI.
Im using VISTA Ultimate to update my XDA.
From WB 6.1 back to WM5. WM 6.1 too buggy and battery drained fast.

Spanish version of Windows Mobile 6.0 to English (M88 Miphone)

I recently purchased two M88 Miphones from China (Windows Mobile 6.0 version). Both were supposed to be in English but when they were shipped to me, one was in English and the other Spanish. How can I change the language from Spanish to English? Or maybe I can install an entirely new English version of Windows Mobile 6.0? Can I extract the ROM from the English one and use it for the other (Spanish) one? Please help. Thanks.
It's great to find a way to install or restore the Windows on M88. My one just died. I haven't access to anything but the "phone" functions, so i need to restore it somehow from my PC. Some advices?

Hi, I think there is a way to change your Windows to English. I received the same phone with the same problem. I wrote to the supplier and they respond with the decision: they provided the original english WM6 ROM for M88 MiPhone on the website, so you can download it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/168534489/DX.SKU16783.UPDATE.ENGLISH.AUG01.rar
But my problem is that I can't go in to the bootloader mode - just don't know how so to start loading the Windows OS. The instructions on the site are very poor and don't work. So I'm stuck again. Here there are the instructions:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
And some more instructions from my correspondence with the supplier, which shows different way of putting the phone in to the bootloader mode:
"we have a better idea to solve this inconvenience for you
we had updated a file on our website for you
you can download it and put it in your memory card to update the language into English.
you can put the file in the memory card no need to creat a folder for it
and insert the card into your cellphone
press the power bottom and the home bottom together
a few second later there would be a message on the screen shows you can press the home bottom again to restart the cellphone"
So maybe you can see they are showing different ways to enter the boot loader. Neidher 2 of them are working for me.
Since I have this phone I didn't find a way to enter the bootloader mode! I tried every combination between the keys but NOTHING! The only thing what I can do with the buttons is SWITCH OFF, SOFT RESET AND HARD RESET.
Please if somebody discover how to do that on that phone -M88 to share here with the rest of us!
Best of luck!

Hi, I'm From Brazil
I'm selling this phone here in my country.
I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.
Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).
After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.
You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem
But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.
I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.
Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.
But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
Thanks m8!
The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.
One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?
Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?
Best regards
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.
I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.
The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?

But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card
Please download the original ROM from here
I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.
After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88
Enjoy
the mine is dead too.

M88 english bootloader
Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com
Copy both of these files to your computer.
http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html
http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html
Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.
Turn the phone off.
Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.
Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.

Need desperate help with possibly bricked Diamond

Hi all,
Just received my Vodafone-branded Diamond, and I'm afraid I already managed to brick it!
It was equipped with version "1.37.172.3 NLD" so I decided to upgrade it to the latest version.
The installation of OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93 went flawless, but the installation of ROM "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe" stopped at about 25% with error code 302. The recovery method that came with the package didn't help, every time the upgrade stopped at the same moment.
Since the device is stuck in the bootloader, and I'm left with a non-chargeable battery, I tried the official Vodafone-branded "RUU_Diamond_Vodafone_NL_1.97.172.4_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe" ROM. Unfortunately, this upgrade stops at 48% and throws the same 302 error.
Anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what I can do to solve all this?
I hope I don't have a brand new, but bricked device on Christmas!
TIA and have a nice day.
Try a hard reset first. If this doesn't help google or search at XDA for MTTY.
This tool can fix your device

Try this, maybe will work
Try a Vodafone branded stock rom before mtty.

He already tried a stock rom....
Potential Solution
Have you looked at the thread titled,
[UPG][TRBL]How-to fix: Update/Flash doesnt work, stops at 0% or 5% (invalid model ID)
It may just be a model ID glitch that can me fixed.
Take a look. It's in this forum in a sticky by cptsunshine.
Thanks all for the help, I'll have a look at your suggestions.
The problem isn't that it stops at 0% or 5%, it stops at random percentages (depending on the ROM I use).
I also see the bootloader (red / green / blue), so it's not dead. I guess it's just that it doesn't pick up a ROM.
Besides, the bootloaders says upgrade ROM code error please try again.
Edit:
A hard reset doesn't seem to work. In the bootloader, when I press "volume down" and "enter" together, and press the "reset button" the screen goes black, but then goes back to the bootloader screen after a sec or 2.
Edit 2:
MTTY doesn't do much either, after executing "boot" the phone is showing me the Vodafone logo and that's it.
For the rest, MTTY shows me the following:
Cmd>boot
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
dwDirectNum: 0, dwMatrixNum: 0, dwMicroPNum: 0
Fixed new dwPSImageSize = 0x53E0000
Install Rom via Internal Memory Method
Steps from Suiller:
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
Let me know how it goes.
Make sure you have Net framework 3.5 installed on devices.

I wish I could mate, but I cannot put files on it anymore, since ActiveSync doesn't recognize my device when it's in the bootloader.

Can you please be more specific? Are you telling me how to do a hard reset? I tried as to do a hard reset, but it goes back to the bootloader instead of resetting. USB stick?
Thanks all, much appreciated. A pain this can happen, looking at the fact that I did everything exactly as described in all these flashing manuals.

No mate, I never had problems getting into the 3 color screen. The problem was updating afterwards, which never completed without error code 302.
Anyway, I guess I just fully bricked my device after putting SPL-1.40.OliNex (according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211) on it. The SPL install was succesful, but when booting I'm now not even getting to see the 3 color bootloader. All I see is the Vodafone logo with some version numbers at the bottom, but that's it. It doesn't boot further on, and I can't get a USB-connection.
Edit:
Volume down + reset brought me in the bootloader again, although it's saying SPL-1.93.OliNex.

that i know but as i say in the post that when u do it that way i say u can load new firmware whitout it needs to boot try my friend i have done it 3 times because wrong loading of firmware
u have to only push thoose 2 buttom then it will work because u go to rescue mode
But what will that give me extra? I can access the Hard-SPL 1.93 bootloader (3 color screen), and I can get into USB mode. It's just that the upgrade of both firmwares stop at a certain percentage.
I'm constantly trying to hard reset the device, but after pushing the reset button (with both volumn down + enter pressed down), the device just reboots back into the bootloader and doesn't give me the hard reset warning.

Ok, finally managed to do a hard reset. Afterwards I tried upgrading to the official Vodafone NL 1.97 ROM once more, but it failed at 48% again.
Any ideas what to do? I know have Diamond with Hard-SPL 1.93 (which says upgrade ROM code error) with no working OS.
Ok all, got it finally working again!
Don't ask me why, but flashing the newest Dutty ROM (and the included radio) did work.
Thanks for all your help, and a wonderful evening!
Hi all,
I have a quit similar problem. I've read a lot, but couldn't find an answer to my problem - may bye someone can help me.
I updated my Dimond (OliNex Hard-SPL 1.93, radio 1.09.25.23 and rom dutty V4). When I start my phone most of the time (95% plus) I end up in the color screen - however some time it's starts perfect (without changing anything).
When I get stock in the color screen, I can start the phone with mtty and the command "boot".
What can I do to make my phone always start in the normal way?
Thanks!

i smell a radio issue - last time i was trying to upgrade my radio - ended up with something similar, managed it out like you did - but now you're up - so that's good!!
try some other rom (this time without radio) - i don't think you should have any issues going forward... good luck and have fun!
