Xperia Arc wont boot after flash attempt.
I unlocked bootloader, then downloaded ROM: LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized
and when I tried to flash it it said: " now i cannot turn on my phone, it only vibrates and then nothing"

When you press the power button, the blue LED blinks as it vibrates, correct?
I've had the same problem, you have bricked your phone.
go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
and follow the instructions. It should work after flashing those files
edit:
if that doesn't work download this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645313&d=1309788828
(i know its for Xperia Play but trust me it works for Arcs, fixed mine )
unzip and copy into the firmwares folder (where your rom was ) then flash it. <---- this fixed my brick

Hello,
I was running cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG with no problem, and decided to install official Cyanogenmode.
I think I made a mistake when deciding to flashtool first this image :MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_HK.ftf
Then I couldn't boot anymore, just black screen.
Recovery not working, with volume button or fastboot recovery image.
Then I flashtool LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf.
The flash succeed, but can't boot. Black screen.
Then I tried to fastboot this firmware : LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic_Global_system
FAILED (remote: partition not found)
How can I get out this issue?
No boot, just black screen when phone is power on.
TY
Edit : I can not use flashtool as it asks me to turn on unknown sources and debugging, but can't boot!
Edit2 : followed this topic :[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones (http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1126358).
Flashed was OK, but still can't boot. Black screen
Edit3 and last : finally booted . Flashtool again BUT placed the loader.sin in the subfolder /loader!! My phone couldn't boot as the loader was not installed.
Shame on me.
Where did you find that official version? I didnt see it on the Cyanogenmod site.

Hi,
I am currently using CM9 on my Xperia ARC, there are certain bugs which disallow me to use my Video camera and there are some WiFi issues too. Since the official ICS update is already out for the Xperia Arc, I wanted to rollback to the stock OS.
Can someone please guide me through the entire process or even point out to a post on this forum that will help me in doing so.
I went across many suggested post but there were none for the Xperia ARC.
Thank You.
This is the latest framework for xperia ARC " NOT ARC S "
http://www.mediafire.com/?rtoaz2tc6c7bsjc
simply .. download , extract , flash through flashtool .. It contains baseband , kernel and ROM, all in one =)
BTW , It's not Rooted since It's the latest Official framework
Use the Search button for the Root ..
regards ..
I think the user above means firmware, not framework.
Anyway it's easy, just use Flashtool and official FTF file. As you said you were running CM9 you must already have an unlocked bootloader. These steps are for unlocked bootloader phone and this is how I did it on my Xarc.
Go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
and download official LT15i 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Global World (big bold letters, you can't miss it in post #1)
Unrar this file to get the official Sony 4.0.4 FTF.
Then go to:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Click the tab that says "Installation".
(I assume you are running MS Windows)
Download Full Install, Windows Edition - v0.8.0.0
Download Updates, Windows Edition - v0.8.5.0
On your computer run installer v0.8.0.0 first, then run v0.8.5.0 to make it the latest version of Flashtool. Flashtool by default installs to c:\flashtool and doesn't create a shortcut in start menu, so you will have to find it with file explorer (My Computer).
Power off phone. Do not connect data cable yet!
Run Flashtool.
Drag the FTF file onto the Flashtool window.
In the window that appears, leave everything as is, but tick "No final verification" in the bottom right corner.
Click "OK" and wait a few seconds.
When the message appears, hold down the back button on your phone and insert the data cable.
Notification LED should turn green and Flashtool begins flashing the firmware.
Wait until flashing is complete. Flashtool will say "Ending flash session" and say something about phone rebooting when it is finished. Wait about a minute after these messages appear and you can then unplug the data cable.
Now for Clockworkmod:
Go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
and download LT15i Arc v2 from first post.
This is the stock kernel with CWM added.
With phone powered off, hold down menu button and insert data cable. Notification LED should turn blue.
Run Flashtool. Flashtool should say "Device connected in fastboot mode"
Click the button in Flashtool which looks like a lightning bolt (the button furthest to the left.) Tick "Fastboot mode" and click OK.
On right side "Select Kernel to flash", find the kernel with CWM you just downloaded and "Open" it.
Kernel flashes in just a few seconds.
You can now unplug data cable and start up the phone. You can give a quick run through the start up settings, language selection etc. before we root. (The only real reason I said to start up the phone is to make it easier to transfer the Superuser install zip to your sdcard from Windows.)
Now root:
Go to:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
and download Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
from the Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread/Honeycomb/IceCreamSandwich (2.1 – 4.0.3) section.
In the settings menu of your phone: Menu > Settings > Xperia > Connectivity > USB coonection mode: Choose Mass storage mode (MSC)
Connect the data cable.
When your sdcard appears as a drive in Windows, copy the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file onto it.
Unplug data cable and power off your phone.
It's important to watch the notification LED for the next bit!
With phone off press the power button as normal when turning on.
Once the Sony logo appears, watch the LED.
When LED turns blue start pressing the Menu button. You have less than 3 seconds to do this!
This takes you into the Clockworkmod recovery.
Use volume up/down move up and down. To confirm use Home button.
Select "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" >
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip > Yes - Install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Once the install completes you can go back and "reboot system now"
Your phone should now be rooted.
Good luck.
Hi,
Currently I am on Android Version 4.0.3, with BB 70 and using Arconium MiUi Rom.
I want to get back to GB. I tried to flash the BB 64 and Adv Stock Kernel and TEAM HDPI Rom, but the internal space is showing as 0 and not able receive any sms.
Can i follow this method to get back to GB?

Yes, with a few small changes I believe this should sort you out. As you are using Arconium MiUi I take it that you have unlocked bootloader.
I used this method on my own Xarc to downgrade to GB after testing out some of the first ICS roms in April, so I know this works.
The FTF file you need will be LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Global World which is the latest official GB 2.3.4 from Sony. (Note, this particular version can only be rooted on an unlocked bootloader.)
IMPORTANT: Never downgrade arc to a version of GB older than 2.3.4, because you will get the 0% battery problem which can not be repaired. The safe FTF files are LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 or LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 which are both GB 2.3.4 .
The main change is when it comes to the Superuser/root and CWM steps.
I would do it in this sequence:
1. Flash the GB FTF
2. Boot up the Gingerbread and copy the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the sdcard from Windows. (You can of course also put Superuser on the sdcard at the start if you wish. I just like to see that the unrooted firmware is working okay before I make any changes to the system files.)
3. Instead of flashing a kernel to the phone, I use Flashtool to "hotboot" a kernel with CWM recovery.
4. I use CWM of "hotboot" kernel to install the Superuser/root the phone.
In greater detail:
1. Get LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Global World from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18997655&postcount=1
Flashing this FTF is same steps as for the ICS in previous post.
2. This part is straightforward, just get the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip on to the sdcard.
3. From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18997655&postcount=1 scroll down to heading "[Tutorial]Root with recoveryLT15i". Download the file "Recovery.rar" from that section.
Extract the file recoveryARC.img from the RAR file.
Although the RAR also contains instructions for using commands to hotboot, I personally think the easiest way is to use Flashtool.
So we want to hotboot "recoveryARC.img" :
Start Flashtool.
With phone powered off, hold down Menu button and insert data cable.
Notification LED should turn blue.
Flashtool should now say: "Device connected in fastboot mode"
Click the button in Flashtool which looks like a lightning bolt (the button furthest to the left.) Tick "Fastboot mode" and click OK.
On left side "Select Kernel to Hotboot", find "recoveryARC.img" you just extracted and "Open" it.
Wait a minute while phone starts up. You do not need to press anything, it goes directly into Clockworkmod recovery.
Now you can proceed to root the phone from CWM.
4. The only difference is that in this version of CWM you must use power button to confirm your selections rather than Home button. Otherwise rooting GB from CWM is same steps as ICS in my previous post.
Disconnect data cable and reboot. Gingerbread should now be rooted.
Good luck!
Thanks a lot mate..It really worked. Now I am back on GB with Internal space problem solved.
Your detailed post really helped..Now I can go for any GB custom ROM..

Hi, i got an arc s recently and updated it to ICS. It lags a lot now and i wanna revert to GB. Can a factory reset get it back to GB or do i absolutely have to flash it in order to do so ?
Thanks.

A factory reset wont do the job!
http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/198483#198483 . A well-explained thread,and assuming you dont want/(haven't yet) to root your your phone(since u recently bought it),you can use this.Or else a better option would be rooting it and using a custom gb rom,since it gives you a much better experience.Use the search for rooting or other info.
Simple guide:
1.- Download flashtool. In the folder you install it you will find drivers folder. Run the program and install drivers for your device (if they aren''t installed yet)
2.- Download any 2.3.4 GB firmware, I would recommend you 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware. 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware for ARC S // 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware for ARC. Introduce that firmware you downloaded in the folder firmwares (inside the flashtool directory)
3.- Turn down your phone. In flashtool, press the thunderbolt symbol, and press flashmode. Then, a list will appear. You must select the 4.0.A.0.62 fw you downloaded (and inserted in Flashtool/firmwares). When the PC is ready, will ask u to connect the phone in flashmode. Press back key and then connect the phone to the computer. A green light will appear in ur led. When finished, take the phone and reboot, you will have Gingerbread 2.3.4 in stead of ICS 4.0.4
Hope I helped u!
Sir, I am trying to flash my arc S for downrading to GB. I have the LT18i_62.ftf. Is this safe?
Also I am stuck in the "turn off your phone/hold back key" step....while holding the back key, says 'driver not installed even if i did already install drivers from driver-tools folder.
Thanks much.

It does sound like a safe file.
Install the drivers from Flashtool folder 'drivers' (by default C:\Flashtool\drivers).
Hi guys ,
at first i am a noob but i want to learn
Today i decided to install custom firmware ( P.A.C v22 ) so i rooted my phone , unlocked the bootloader. Then installed recovery , got into it , did everything :
Download Rom + Latest Gapps (Links in "Downloads" section)
- Copy them to your Internal SDCard
- Reboot into Recovery
- Do a Factory Reset/Wipe data
- Wipe Cache
- Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced -> Fix permissions
- Mounts and Storage -> Format /system
- Install zip from SDCard -> Choose zip from SDCard -> Choose the Rom and install
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And in the last step i got installation error , i panicked and rebooted phone.
Now there is only Sony logo , i can't turn off my phone , soft resets dont help , i cant even turn it off. Fastboot and flashmode dont work
Is it dead or can i still rescue it ?
If there is sony logo,then ur on safe side.Its just you have to flash stock ftf through flashtool

1.- Hold the volume up and power buttons.
2.- Once the sony logo disappears and the screen turns off immediately release the buttons.
By doing this your phone will be off.
Now it should work Flashmode and Fastboot.
Good luck

That is what i did yesterday. I left it for the night with Sony logo on because i wasnt able to turn him off in the way you said. When I woke up there was no Sony logo , i plugged it to the computer and there is red led light but i managed to get into both flash an fastboot modes so there is hope

I managed to mess up mine by incorrectly flashing a rom. This sorted me out. Had red light only, nothing else. Brown trousers for a few hours...
Managed to flash stock rom and everything is ok but when i try to install P.A.C there is mount error and installation is aborted.
I've read about this and the solution is installing opensemc kernel BUT i can't , because of error ( doing this by flashtool ).
**** happens like they say but i want this rom soooo badly , anyone ?

Disclaimer:
if you do not Follow instructions and FURTHER BRICK your device then it is not my fault YOU didn't follow instructions, in this case you are UNABLE to blame me.
Note:
Reason: im trying to make a tutorial for fixing your phone because i KNOW other people were where i was when i bricked my XS and its quite annoying knowing that i didn't know how to fix my phone, i looked around on the internet and found not much for Xperia s... so i decided to experiment
HARD BRICK (No response when plugged in)
There is a few different types of bricks but i am writing this to help you unbrick in a FEW ways
if your xperia device doesn't do anything when plugged in then try holding POWER + volume up it buzzes once , then a few seconds later 3 times in a row then your device is unbrickable
REQUIREMENTS
unlocked bootloader??? (maybe im not my XS came with a unlocked bootloader LET ME know if it works)
Flash-tool with a stock FTF
Fastboot Drivers and flash-mode drivers Installed properly (NOTE you should be able to find them in the Flashtool Folder (where the app is installed should be a Driver app should be calleld Flashtool Drivers.exe (just select your devices to install and click yes to any warnings... its safe)
Flashtool Downloaded from here
http://androxyde.github.io/
Download from here FTF from here (find YOUR Device And download the CORRECT FTF for your device)
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+(Ericsson)
follow this
01- Hold POWER+VOLUME UP till it buzzes 3 times. (after the one buzz)
02- open flash tool
03- Click on the little lightning shock button at the top left and click on flash-mode then ok
04- select your DEVICE (example Xperia S FTF should be called lt26I and acro s is lt28I)
05- Follow Flash-tool Instructions after FTF is done preparing (note back buton = Volume Down for newer xperias)
06- Once done Flashing BOOT, it
SOFT BRICK (Boots but shuts off when during boots and starts again (boot loop)
for CWM users (only work if you have a backup)
01- Do a system restore is backup is present
or
01- make a backup
02-flash a ROM
03- copy a zip flashable stock ROM, flash and do a data restore
OR
01- Flash your Stock ROM FTF (using flashtool)
02- EXCLUDE ALL but your system
if that doesn't work
03- Dont exclude anything when flashing
OR
01- open sony companion
02- go to support zone
03- click on REPAIR DEVICE
04- Follow instructions
Sorry for Spelling mistakes , i dont speak english as a primary language
Hi,
We Already have a brilliant thread by ToledoJab regarding Bricking Recovery, in the General Section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
Have you checked that before posting a new thread on this topic??
Honestly i found other kind of brick it will make your phone stuck and even you press power + vol up it will do nothing all i can do is let the battery die (Ion can't remove battery) then i can charge and flash new rom and recover it
OP, I will ask you to search before creating a new thread, I understand you waiting to provide to the Community, but there is thread establish Here. Thank You
Hello guys, i have a xperia ZQ C6503 Brazil, i want to unlock the bootloader , install a recovery and a stable cyanogen mod , but the cyanogen installer shows the device is not supported ( they are not equal the ZL ? ) , i want a correct step-by-step for this things i want, i am confused with tons of topics with differents things..
So i want a how-to Unlocka bootloader, install a custom recovery, how to root, and how to install the cyanogen mod without the windows installer if possible. thanks.
ZQ it's exactly the same of ZL, I don't know why Brasil changed the name, I have a ZQ and installed the cyanogenmod 11 for ZL and everything works, don't worry about that. I can see you're a little insecure, so I suggest READING MORE TOPICS. And make sure that you're installing everything for xperia ZL (ODIN) and not for the Z (yuga) or Z1.
First: read this .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201148 READ EVERYTHING, DOOMLORD IT'S THE MAN !
AFTER READING DOOMLORD'S TOPIC: IF it's not clear, you can read http://techglen.com/2013/11/28/install-android-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-zl-with-cm-11/# and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_odin
Suggestion: Use flashtools to install the custom kernel (connect the phone in fastboot mode, click on the lightning, choose fastboot mode and choose install/flash custom kernel) it's way easier than using terminal.
After installing adb drivers, sony drivers, fastboot drivers, and etc ...
1) unlock bootloader
2) download the last cm11 nightly and google apps for android 4.4.2 (search on the cyanogen site)
3) on the phone: put the .zip on the root of sdcard ........... on the pc: extract the .zip on desktop (you're just gonna use boot.img)
4) shutdown the phone, plug the cable on the phone pressing VOLUME UP ( + ) , a blue led should appear
5) open flashtools, click on the lightning and choose fastboot mode, after choose install/flash custom kernel and choose the boot.img that you placed in the desktop
6) Unplug the cable and reboot the phone (or it'll reboot by itself) WHEN SONY LOGO APPEARS (A PINK LED WILL APPEAR, this is the phone telling you that you can press volume up (+) to open recovery), so, when the pink led appear push the volume up (+)
7) Now you're in clockworkmode recovery, wipe cache/data/dalvik, flash the rom, flash the gapps, flash the supersu.zip(if you want it rooted)
8) Reboot (it may take a while, up to 5 minutes)
9) Have fun

First: read this .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201148 READ EVERYTHING, DOOMLORD IT'S THE MAN !
AFTER READING DOOMLORD'S TOPIC: IF it's not clear, you can read http://techglen.com/2013/11/28/install-android-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-zl-with-cm-11/# and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_odin
Suggestion: Use flashtools to install the custom kernel (connect the phone in fastboot mode, click on the lightning, choose fastboot mode and choose install/flash custom kernel) it's way easier than using terminal.
After installing adb drivers, sony drivers, fastboot drivers, and etc ...
1) unlock bootloader
2) download the last cm11 nightly and google apps for android 4.4.2 (search on the cyanogen site)
3) on the phone: put the .zip on the root of sdcard ........... on the pc: extract the .zip on desktop (you're just gonna use boot.img)
4) shutdown the phone, plug the cable on the phone pressing VOLUME UP ( + ) , a blue led should appear
5) open flashtools, click on the lightning and choose fastboot mode, after choose install/flash custom kernel and choose the boot.img that you placed in the desktop
6) Unplug the cable and reboot the phone (or it'll reboot by itself) WHEN SONY LOGO APPEARS (A PINK LED WILL APPEAR, this is the phone telling you that you can press volume up (+) to open recovery), so, when the pink led appear push the volume up (+)
7) Now you're in clockworkmode recovery, wipe cache/data/dalvik, flash the rom, flash the gapps, flash the supersu.zip(if you want it rooted)
8) Reboot (it may take a while, up to 5 minutes)
9) Have fun
