try using RUU manually:
extract rom.zip from the RUU* and stick it in your C:\
boot into fastboot mode, plug your phone in and open command prompt and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flashzip C:\rom.zip
fastboot reboot
*to extract the rom.zip run the RUU (but do not proceed with the process, just open it, do NOT click next, don't even plug in your phone for that matter lol), select "run" from the start menu, then type in %temp%, This will opened a folder with a bunch of files and folders, use the "sort by date" feature, and select "today". there should only be 2 folders left, search inside them and the rom.zip should be in one of them, amongst many other androidy files

alright I'll try walk you through it.
0. download the file I attached, and unzip it into your c:\
1. Run the RUU (do not click next)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. go to start menu and click "run" (or press the WINDOWS key and R as a shortcut)
3. type %temp% This opens up a window with a bunch of files/ folders
4. Use the sort by date function, and select today, there should only be about 2 folders, for me, the first one contains another folder, which contains the contents of the RUU
5. Select rom.zip and put it in your c:\
Once you've done that, turn your phone off, boot into fastboot (press the RETURN button and POWER simultaneously)
Plug the phone in via USB, your Phone should show FASTBOOT USB
Then start Command prompt (start menu, accessories, command prompt)
Type the following commands
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flashzip C:\rom.zip
fastboot reboot

I followed a non XDA guide and im stuck in bootloop with leedroid hd.
s-on btw. (i dont have access to a cd so cant use alpha rev. and cannot/will not be able to get access to one either....long story.)
Ive followed the above directions to no avail and with same results.
Anyideas? Im used to flashing RUU's on me winmob devices but got out of me depth on this one.

Hello all,
a quick update,
as i could get into cwm I flashed CM7 (and the required radio first) and i seem to be up and running, albeit without sense (ui or common ).
does anyone think i got stuck in the loop because i was s-on with leedroid?

--UPDATE--
After much faffing around, i used the revolution beta one click s-off, and have now managed to get back too Standard Tmobile RUU.
Being the sucker that I am, I retried the Leedroid HD rom with no luck (hang on logo)
Using correct recommended radio, ext3 partitioned sd. cwm 2.7.0.5 (or is it 2.5.0.7?) rooted s-off.
Its a shame, I really wanted Sense 3

I dont suggest the kernel flash, i nearly bricked.
Download root.zip from superuser site. Put it in sd.
Just testpoint your mobile. Download fastboot.
Go to dev selection and download a kernel with cwm
Put it in fastboot folder
Shift + right click on the window background and choose open command box
Enter in the box
Fastboot boot "img name you downlaoded "
Example if the img is named arc.img
Fastboot boot arc.img
When fastboot completes, unplug phone. It will automaticly boot. Press volume down when you see blue led.
Go to install zip option
Choose install zip
Find zip in sd and install it.
Reboot.
Thats all. Brick-safe. Still stock with root. DRM keys keept

The instructions you are referring to were not crystal clear to me either, so I have written down my own experiences to get the fastboot work.
I suppose the necessary USB drivers are needed to be installed as a prerequisite - but I guess you already have them installed.
Otherwhise, I would recommend you to get them from Sony Mobile or use those from the s1tool. (Remember the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?).
Enough said about drivers, here are the steps that is needed to make things work.
First of all you have to make sure of getting a response back from your phone when using the fastboot command.
If not, then you might have to look for answers somewhere else.
Turn off your phone.
Disconnect the USB cable if this is connected.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enter the following in the command window:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce
You will get the response:
Code:
< waiting for device >
.
Hold down the menu button (the right one) and connect the USB cable at the same time.
A correct response from your phone would look similar to this:
Code:
finished. total time: 1346879044.955s
If this is working, then repeat step 1-4, but replace step 4 with the following text:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot <name of your boot image>
A typical response would look like this:
Code:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0fce boot arc.img
< waiting for device >
downloading 'boot.img'... INFOUSB download speed was 5752kB/s
OKAY [ 0.900s]
booting... INFODownload buffer format: boot IMG
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.910s
After the boot image is loaded into the phone, it will unpack the kernel image and ramdisk image follwed by the init scripts.
This will take some time, so have patience.
Good luck!
N.B. The 0x0fce value origins from the unique manufacturer USB identity, where Sony Ericsson was assigned the (hexadecimal) value 0x0fce.

Sorry friend, but on mobile device i dont have patience to write clearly

Ok
I tried again tonight.
I completed the testpoint and all seemed to follow the information...although...My PC did not ask for the driver install - it did something automatically without any prompts - How do I change the driver (and which one) to the one provided in the s1tool download?
As when I try to follow the guides you have both provided, thank you again, fastboot still sits at the waiting for device prompt.
When I hold "menu" and connect the USB lead the phone boots into Charging screen ???
Any ideas?
Cheers again

There is a simple way to find out if you were successful in unlocking your device, if this could be the problem?
Remove the USB cable from your Arc.
Turn your phone off.
Start it again by pressing the power button. You will see the Sony logo after a few seconds.
Wait for a couple of more seconds.
The backlight of the screen will power up and the LED next to the Micro-USB connector will turn blue, if you succeeded.
Did it work for you?
If yes, I suggest you to remove the USB drivers related to Android and Sony (Ericsson) an reinstall them again.

Yes, turn of phone hold menu button, connect. Youll see blue led.
Now go to device manager find adb interface or s1boot. Right click and update drivers manually. Dirrect driver folder to the drivers map in that pack i sendt you. Click ok. Windows will install them. If it says it can harm your pc, just ignore it and thoose install anyway.
After its complete, try again.

oh rite, thats a balls. Dont think theres any other way. Try taking the phone apart and cleaning the buttons. ul be surprised at the dust there. Hopefully that will work. If it dont then the only other way is to flash an ruu via bootloader. What does ur phone say in bootloader?

Did you try running the adb commands that jmcclue listed above while in hboot?
Maybe try running fastboot commands such as "fastboot devices" to see if its recognized.

You dont do "adb fastboot devices". You do "fastboot devices"

adb only works when phone is booted or stuck at boot animation, thats why i said try turning on phone then try adb while it bootloops r stuck at splash screen but his phone boots straight into bootloader. Also there is no command for fastboot to reboot recovery. Personally i would take phone apart and clean buttons, worth a shot.
@ op what boes it say in ur bootloader ?

Would fastboot work without selecting it in hboot? If fastboot is able to detect the phone, then he can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into a touch based recovery like 4ext (without actually flashing it).
Heres his bootloader:

Check your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory to make sure the fastboot.exe is there.
If its not there, redownload the sdk and setup adb/fastboot using this guide. Also make sure you install these fastboot drivers
Then try "fastboot devices" again and hope that the phone shows up. If it does you can boot a recovery by doing this:
-Download the 4ext recovery img from here
-Extract the zip and put the recovery img in your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
-Run "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If its not showing up in fastboot im not really sure that you have any options, other than to do what jmcclue suggested.

This is where it get's stuck but:
It still reacts on USB connects changing from 'HBOOT' to 'HBOOT_USB_PLUG' but navigating or selecting an option is not possible.
Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

What now?
I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:

On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Yeah, it's working, thanks a lot!
I tried to boot with "back + Power" several times.... but without USB connected...
EDIT: No, it wasn't regarding USB...
This only works from time to time, more less then more.. (hopefully you know what I mean)
Okay, now I have a way to get into the recovery, a big step forward!!
What now?
I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:
How to replace the actual existing Recovery with the booted 4ext one?
On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

I know and this worked yesterday, but it started with problems, as mentioned above.
Today I never had access..

[Q] Broken display + data lost

Hi everyone,
I know it's a thread so discussed, but it's a little different for me so I can't find the answer..
The basic problem is that I have a broken display, and I cannot access my phone since it's locked with digit sequence and also I have not enabled usb debugging.
After reading a lot of threads, I managed to do these steps:
- Unlocked the bootloader with fastboot
- Installed Clockwork mod
Now I'm stuck.. Unlocking the bootloader erased all my data, I knew this thing, but I hoped to recover it in some way...
Every single guide is based on adb.
Ok, my device isn't recognized with adb.
Since I haven't the display, I'm doing everything "blind".
To enter in fastboot mode -> vol up + vol down + power. Now the phone is recognized with fastboot command.
By looking at some videos, to enter the recovery mode I have to push vol down 2 times, and then power to confirm.
I've done that procedure, but the phone is not recognized by adb.
I'm not even sure that I have CW installed, even if fastboot procedure was fine...
Any idea? I'd like only to recover my photos, they were important to me.
Thank you

to be sure of being in recovery, you can reboot into it by using 'fastboot reboot recovery'
CWM should have an option to mount sdcard, its under mounts/storage, but since you dont have a display, you'd have to find a screenshot somewhere and try following that. the TWRP recovery has the option too, but im not sure it can be controlled via volume + power
EDIT: in CWM, once youre in recovery, try VOL UP 4 times, power, then volume up 2 times and power. does that work?

mount /sdcard will not work as there is no sdcard. this phone has been out almost 2 years and people still swear there's an sdcard. its amazing.
you need to fastboot reboot into recovery and then use adb pull

"adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/" will work
or "adb pull /data/media/DCIM/"

thats what i said to do... you're claiming you can mount the /sdcard... WHICH YOU CANT.
/data/ is mounted when you go into recovery.

and it does nothing in CWM. NOTHING. good god you are stubborn and wrong.
this is my last post on this topic,
OP,
reboot into recovery and use adb pull. anything the other guy says about mounting the sdcard cannot be done and he has no idea what he is talking about.

thank you guys for the replies..
I'm sorry for the (maybe) stupid question.. How can I reboot into recovery? There is no such option in fastboot...
edit: ok I've got it. Maybe the CW was not correctly installed.
However now I have to find a way to recover my photos...

i never said mounting the /sdcard will bring it up on the pc as a mass storage device. mounting it will give it access through ADB, then he can simply pull the DCIM folder which will contain his camera pictures by using "adb pull /sdcard/DCIM C:/DCIM/"

ok guys stop fighting please
I need your help not your hate
So... I can use adb now.. But how to proceed? data are wiped with the unlocking. So, if i can access to the phone as an external memory, I could use data recovery software.. Otherwise with adb it pulls empty folders...

oh.... well if you wiped your phone by unlocking the bootloader then everything we said was useless im afraid
sorry

here we are!
Current situation:
I managed to enter in recovery mode.
The only way to recover my data seems to be this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
but I need to install busybox.
Since I can work only in recovery mode, could I install it via recovery?
The alternative is to install a rom with root and busybox, but I can't put the device in sideload mode, I don't know why...
Once I'm in recovery mode, I push twive vol down, and it should be the "install zip from sideload", but the adb status remains recovery...
I don't know why.. It's very frustrating..
Any help?
Thanks
