Hi all,
I've now got a new mobile, so my Arc was going to be sent away to cash it in - decided to do a hard reset using the menus - after a reboot, it decided to stick on the SE screen, the one with the round logo.
I've use SE Update - but it says it has modified software [yeah, I rooted it etc.]
Would someone be as kind to give me clues as to what to do next please?
Thanks
Alun
flash it with newest firmware over flashtool.
Thanks - worked like a dream.

Hello,
I'm new to Android Device. I just bought Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I was found Official Update from Sony Ericsson Site. Then I go with and after downloading update it's message me it will reboot and start again. But nothing happened. My phone was dead then. Even I tried several time to switch on my phone but a short vibrate but not booting. I'm very frustrated.
Then I research a lot and found some resource. I download Flash Tools flashtool-0.6.7.0-windows and I also download new Firmware R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf and R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf as well as I tried Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf.
But nothing Happen. I'm now very upset. Is there anyone can help me to solve this issue?
This happened to me except I had my boot loader unlocked and tried to do an ota. Only got a black screen. I thought I broke it. with the help of xda I flashed ftf file and it worked. I imagine you have rooted your phone otherwise you would return it under warrenty I imagine. what you need to do its find the xda post for ota bricked unlock boot loader download the files and use flash tool to flash the file. worked for me and I thought I was boned. sorry I can't link you to the ppost but don't fear follow their directions and you'll be fine. I hope this lead you to the right post and kinda helped
hey, guys so i really need some help pleiase, i have an xperia arc lt15i with root and unlocked bootloader, but some time ago i flashed a mod theme to make it look like ics, i only icons would change but i coulsnt uninstall it, so i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518163 althought my phone was on bootloader 56 wth 6. something not 4.0.2.A.0.62, wiith android 2.3.7 but since i flashed it my phone stays stock on se screen, i tried repairing it with sony pc companion but it gives me an error, and i tried the x10 flasher but it tells me to turn it on and turn on usb debugging and unknown sources, but i cant turn it on!!!, any way i can repair my phone??? thanks
I own a Sony Xperia Arc (purchased on June, 2011) and it doesn't work anymore without any explanation.
When I turn on the phone, it appears Sony Ericcson brand and then, mobile network carrier brand, but then, instead of appearing home, it appears again Sony brand and an infinite loop goes on.
At first,I tried to solve the problem with the Sony tools like PC Companion and Sony Update Service.
Then, I tried to do a hard reset (back + menu and power), but nothing changed (the same bootloop).
What would you do now? Would be useful trying to flash some firmware? I have been reading posts about flashing firmware, bootloader unlocking and rooting Xperia Arc, but I don't now really what would be the best move now.
For your information, I haven't applied any kind of official upgrade before, neither I have tried to root the phone or flash any custom firmware, so I had my phone as it came from factory (with Android 2.3.2). Moreover, I haven't installed any suspicious application, just typical apps like whatsapp and so on. By the way, the phone haven't suffered any crash neither wet.
I have attached the log I have taken when I try to turn on the phone (I get the same log again and again, at the end of the log it reports some problem with memory, I hope it's not a hardware problem):
Try using the Flashtool and report back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

Hi,
also have the same problem.
I have the same problem.
İ have lt15i firmware. Try to install lt18i via flashtool and something broken and aborted. I tried to install LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(1247-1041).ftf via flashtool. It said flashed but said power on turn on unknown sources and devices. When i try to power on it boot loop in Sony Logo.
I try to use CWM mode. Wipe and flash some data. Couldn't find user data files. Installed a Custom ROM when a boot animation appear its boot again to SONY logo. what should i do?
Any ideas?
In the end, I could fix the problem flashing the latest firmware with Sony Update.
Anyways, thank you very much for the advice
Xperia arc problem

Xperia Arc
4.0.4/4.1.B.0.587
Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted
Guys,tried installing a custom Rom Omega on the 3rd.Nov,a couple of days ago.Followed every word the OP on how to install.Aroma popped up and made some choices and then rebooted into recovery.When phone switched back on only the SONY logo was there and it kept on repeating.Made some enquiries from members.Was advised to flash original firmware which I did.When the phone booted up,this time SONY XPERIA and kept on repeating.Been all over the place searching for a way to overcome this problem.
Came across an article on google:Recovering dead/bricked phone xperia arc -in that article there is mention of taking the generic global 4.1.B.0.587.zip file and extracting it to a .tft file and flashing it onto the device.This I am unsure of as I have never come across a .tft file.I've been unable to go into the main screen to make any changes to enable USB Debugging,Unknown Sources and MSC Mode if need be to flash again because when I tried doing it again the process aborted.Even tried to Relock bootloader so that SUS or PCCompanion would recognize the device
so that I can be able to get out of this mess I created.Unable to find a solution.Need urgent assistance.
You have to download the .ftf file (it's in the zip) on to your computer and flash it by using a tool called Flashtool.
Also flash stock kernel back or advanced stock kernel.

Seems like you had unlocked bootloader and you tried to do OTA update. By this you soft-bricked your phone.
