If you can boot into fastboot (blue light on usb connection) you may have a chance to load cyanogenmod to fix the partitions etc and then you could revert to stock 2.3.4
tried that. but i got it fixed, i just needed to relock my bootloader with a custom .ftf file and then just unlocked and all the steps again. and its all fine now

Turn off.
Hold back button.
Plug in USB cable.
You should see a green LED, that means you're in Flash Mode.

No.
Fastboot uses the same instructions but you hold in the SEARCH button to reveal a blue LED.

You must NOT hold HOME button while connecting the phone to your computer.
You MUST HOLD "MENU" BUTTON while connecting the phone to your computer.
Try that
And,is your bootloader unlocked ??

For so far i know, you can't upgrade OTA or SEUS when you have a unlocked bootloader. It will brick your phone. Or am i wrong?
What happen if I do update my arc s with locked bootloader but several system apps modded(framework, sistemui, home, music...)???
It will brick my phone?

Normally, no. But I'm not a expert whit that things. All i know is that Sony Ericcson updates, Seus or Ota, can't be use when your bootloader is unlocked. I read somewhere that that Sony Ericsson will permit updates whit a unlocked bootloader, in the future.
So, I was using .431 generic global world (GGW) build for my xperia arc till today.
Today, I noticed that .587 GGW came out and decided to update.
I already had unlocked bootlader with no root with .431.
First, I backup everything & factory-wiped my phone.
I tried to enter flash mode with no avail for over 10+ tries.
Then I decided to trick SPC update to force my phone into flash mode.
It put the phone to flash mode as I thought.
I successfully flashed .587.
Then I started to root.
I used the guide at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26805903&postcount=3
After the 2nd step I noticed that I can't enter the flash mode even with SPC trick.
I deleted all previous usb drivers and settings.
I also reinstalled all sony software and drivers from scratch.
I was still unable to enter flash mode.
Then, I noticed I could enter fastmode.
So, I renamed the ftf file to zip and extracted the files.
Then, I used fastboot mode to flash new kernel.
Phone was rooted and working.
I installed CWM and got a full backup.
So, I thought why not try a custom mod after the root.
I decided to try Hybrid MooDeD JB-ICS 100.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717
I followed all the instructions to the letter and made the install.
The phone asked for reboot and when it rebooted it got stuck at Sony logo.
I checked the thread a little bit more (my fault for not checking all before but in my defence it's 101 pages..) and it seems it's kernel is based for .431 and I was using .587.
So now, I can't enter the flash mode nor fastmode and the phone is stuck at sony logo.
Help please...
can you enter recovery if yes then flash appropriate rom
and also try to remove battery for 30 or more sec and connent phone while holding back button to get in flashmode or search to get in fastboot

OP: How come you can't access flashmode or fastboot mode? Then you are doing something wrong. Besides, problem is that you didn't install proper custom kernel for the ROM.
And previous ROM has nothing to do with it, doesn't matter which ROM you had earlier, new one will install and delete/replace all the files.

I realise that. I put all the info up to OP so that ppl won't waste time by asking me what happened exactly.
Nevertheless, I really can't access flash/fastmode at all. I tried removing the battery and start clicking all the things before putting the battery back on. But nothing happens. I just see the sony logo.

When I put the battery back, nothing happens. Phone doesn't get powered up. As soon as I try the key-combo for flash/fastmode, phone starts up as if it's going to enter the modes but only sony logo shows up and gets stuck. I really have no idea how this could happen.

if you can boot upto se logo so your semcboot is not broken
so now tell me if you could enter fastboot before you unlocked bl?
and try to unlock it again using test point method (there is also a free one with S1TOOL if you had bl unlock allowed = yes if you could recall) i recommend not to use paid one bcoz you can pay that to sony to recover it and may be after that you could get into fastboot mod
if it didn't helped try to repair semcboot or trim area contact alejandrissimo for that it also follows testpoint method and its free
i think now only way to connect phone to pc is using testpoint!!!!!

I recently got around to trying to get CM11 on my Xperia M. After following Sony's official instructions on their World developer siteon unlocking the bootloader, my phone induced a bootloop. I also suspect that fastboot isn't working, as volume down + usb plug in doesn't activate the characteristic blue LED on the phone's base... I'm really stumped. Any help would be much appreciated. Another question, since I have no idea whether the whole process worked or not, will I be able to send it in to service, in case the situation's rough?

So you were trying to use flashtool to revert your phone back to Stock... I guess the phone is now hardbricked :C Cause most of the time when people unlock their bootloader and did something wrong, the chance of reverting it back is incredibly low... I guess you should bring it back to where you bought it :C and not to mention entering fastboot is not working :C
I see, thanks anyway for your input mate!

I knw is that having bootloop after following the instruction sony introduced is just normal. You can fix it by flasing the 4.3 ftf.
Volume down + power is not fastboot mode it is download mode. You can only see green led flash once.

Flash doomlords kernel via fastboot....then reboot to system....if it will not boot successfully then push a ROM zip by adb push and flash it....one more thing just check whether your phone is connecting to PC via fastboot or flashmode.
.
The best way to check is by flashtool...open flashtool software on PC and then connect your phone via fastboot/flashmode and see the status at PC flashtool....if its connecting then flash stock ftf and if not then 1st install drivers..

As far as I know, it is not possible to wipe partition from CWM (if You selected from one of the options from menu) which would lead to hard brick.
Let us start with basics. Can You tell Me which kernel You flashed to get CWM? Also, is there any vibration when You press and hold power button and volume up key together?

Huh, that kernel should have worked. I asked for the combination duration since many people make mistakes there. Since we are clear of that, did You try the rubber band trick from here? That trick sometimes takes more than a day to work.
