Hi I am hoping someone can help me with this,
I have ARC LT15i, bootloader is locked and I was previously using generic 2.3.
Yesterday I tried to flash .42 generic using flashtool and got an error flashtool aborted. Arc would not boot and I tried using the flashtool unbrick method which flashed successfully but ARC would still not boot.
Used SEUS to repair and phone is now working fine except for the USB connection which seems to be having various issues.
Would not charge using mains plug and battery drained to 0%, took battery out for 5 mins as advised and charges fine through mains now (phew), however when I connect the Arc to PC using USB nothing happens. Will not recognise that is is plugged in at all, no charging, no led, no MTP/MSC connect.
PC companion see's no phone, however I can connect in flashmode when the phone is turned off, I have reinstalled pc companion, SEUS and the MTP drivers from Sony Dev page.
Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly does anyone know of a fix???
Thanks in advance

Why didn't you just flash through flashtool again. Even though it has aborted all you need to do is reconnect and flash again. If something don't work. Flash again. And keep doing it 5 times and if still broken you phone is buggered. And warrenty is needed. Unfortunately, as you used flashtool and the fota unbrick method and messed with the .TA (Trim Area) which each phone has a unique one. So warrenty voided. I hope this helps you a bit.

Hello,
I'm using Arconium rom when i tryed to install the CM9 to test, well i just flashed with fastboot the new img from FX and install the rom. The instalation started but returned an error that i don't remember something about lt8i (my phone is lt5i).
I go to flashtool and tryed to get back to stock rom, but without sucess, now my phone show the Sony Ericsson logo and later it stay black.
Thinking i can fix this i relock the bootloader with flashtool files (found on Xperia Arc forum) and still not fix. Now i cannot unlock the bootloader "oem failed" and the phone doesnt start.
Please someone can help-me with a tutorial or something else ?
Take battery out, connect it to pc, press the back button and now plug in the battery again and see if it connects in flashmode then.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322827
After searching the forums i still havent found a solution.
The problem is i decided to unlock the bootloader using Sony on my Arc S a day ago.
Now when i connect the USB it will not connect to the MSC or MTP though the computer pings and sony companion comes up but says the usual reboot etc.
I have tried all the different combinations of turning USB debug and other things on and off but to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problems and fixed it?
Try reinstalling PC companion with the option in phone connection.

Sorry to say thats not working :s
Any idea if factory reset may work? Holding off doing that cos hate having to put everything back on lol
Factory reset did not work
Any thought on my next options would be appreciated?
Can i still install a different ROM to the memory card? I have no recovery so i dont know if i can do much of anything?
Thanks for any help.
How did you unlock your bootloader
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2
is your camera and home button not functioning too ? reflash back using flashtool or if it doesn't work, use wotanserver..
I now have it running after using Wotanserver twice :s
The only problem now is it wont root (Bootloader is still unloacked, did it via Sony)?
I tried Doomlord but it says read only as it tries to do it.
I dont know how to use flashtools as for some reason it wont install on my computer (possible Kasperski stopping this).
How do you reinstall the ADB drivers cos i think that may be the problem.
Try the link at this post
Managed to get flash tools installed and that rooted it
It now wont update OTA so wondered if sony companion will update but will flash tools root after?
Lots of thanks to everyone for there help seems i have question after question lol.
Just when i think i know what i'm doing i get another phone and it starts again. Sticking with sony now though even if they dont have Gorrilla glass
you can't update via Sony Companion / OTA because you have unlocked bootloader..
First of all, hope I posted in the right section as I could find a separate Xperia SL forum.
I got a rooted Xperia SL with
Android 4.0.4
version 6.1.A.2.45
I tried to update it to 6.1.a.2.55 (which I guess is JB) using PC companion. The phone turns off, then the PC Companion says to remove da USB cable and reconnect it while holding the volume down button. I tried this a several times but nothing happens. Instead the phone shows the charging battery icon which is shows when it's charging while switched off. And I see a notification on my PC saying USB device not recognized (only when I connect the phone holding the volume down button and it's switched off. It is recognized when I connect it while switched on.)
I'm a noob in android, hope someone would help me out with this.
That's ics, not jb

The best way is to find .55 ROM TFT and flash via FlashTool.
It is known that the jellybean is yet to make an appearance in any part of the world,so I suggest u can wait for the update to have a global reach or unlock your bl and flash the leaked version

I would really suggest you to wait a week or two more and Get the Jelly Bean Update for Your phone.
In any case you will be upgrading to JB after it releases in a week or two.
And for Your Problem,
You can use PC Companion only when two condionts are met.
1. Your device is Not Rooted ( If it is Rooted You Need to Unroot it Back To Use PCC)
2. You need a Locked Bootloader.
Otherwise PCC will not Work!
A word of warning :
PCC May reverse back the changes of flash or prevent from brick.
But OTA updates will brick the phone for sure. If and All you try to Update in rooted and bootloader unlocked conditions.
The best alternative to flash any rom will be using FLASHTOOL by androxyde

Have you tried using SUS instead of PCC..i prefer using SUS over PCC when updating..

Repair your phone using PC Companion. Just follow the instructions from the program and your phone should be fully functional in a couple of minutes.
same problem here
my xperia arc s turns on until the sony logo and then stays there forever.
It doesn't seem to charge either when i put it on charge as the red light is off .
How to connect with companion since it doesn't do anything ?

Visit the support zone, use the specific tool for when phone does not boot up. Just look around, you will find it. It will not require you to turn on your phone.
Thanks
Got it ...
Used Flashtool and i am back to stock firmware
THANK YOU very much indeed

To use pc companion your phone has to boot up and it's impossible to update or fix phone that doesn't boot up via PC Companion you can only fix it with flashtool or SEUS,SEUS can fix the phone when it's turned off it's just like flashtool.

Wrong.
PC Companion has the solution for when phone does not boot up, SEUS does not have it.
Well this is is What happened. I was trying to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" on my "Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY" I tried it twice and I couldn't so I flashed it again to R800a North America. As I couldn't do it I upgraded the "Flashtool! from 0.6.9.1 to 0.9.18.5 and tried to install "Lupus-v12-iCs-720" but I couldn't so I tried to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" and nothing so I plug it to flash it again and the Rom R800a wasn't there I didn't notice it and clicked flash so it did it fast and now I have a dead pone, it doesn't enter Flashmode doesn't turn on nothing but when I conect it to the PC the sound plays but that's it. It also doesn't turn on and the LED doesn't blink. HELP....!!! PLEASE.........!!! is there any way to fix it.....???
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
If u flashed x10 relock file, u probably damaged bootloader partition and i dont think u can reapir it in home, without flasmode, coz only thing i can think of (not counting using box) is to flash relock file for 2011 xperias

I messed up my xperia ion in a similiar way. Take out the battery for a few minutes. With the battery out hook it up to the pc. If you can see a dim charging light of any colour your should be able to fix it. Unplug the phone and put the battery in. Without trying to power it on click the back button and connect it to the pc. This may work.
