HELP NEEDED ASAP: Bricked Arc after Unlocked & OTA Update :-(

Hello,
I recently unlocked the bootloader on my new SE Arc the other day so i could root it. After rebooting the phone it said there was an update available OTA so i updated it not realising that it could seriously damage your phone & it updated, rebooted and now nothing.
It didnt switch on or repond to anything except "Back" and "Power On" - When i done this with the USB attatched i managed to get the x10 Flash tool to work with it so i sent it the LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_GenericUK.ftf firmware and it sent fine but the phone still will not switch on!
Now everytime i press the power on button the LED flashes green on the right hand side.
Its the Xperia Arc on Vodafone with version 2.3.2 originally.
Please please can anyone help! Does it mean that it is totally useless now?
Thank you

Did you look at this thread, youre not the only one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106250
I'm not sure if it helps, but i recently bricked my phone but a different way. But it was doing exactly the same as your phone ... the Green LED would flash briefly then nothing happens... what I did was disconnect the battery then powered on to discharge any static charge left in the phone, I then connected the battery and connected it to the mains to fully charge the phone. After that, I re-flashed and disconnected from PC and powered on and booted just fine.
I think you are lucky J has found a fix !

[Q] Flastool 0.7.0.0 not installing bloatware

Only now realised my title is misleading. It should read "Flastool 0.7.0.0 not uninstalling bloatware"
I have upgraded my arc to the official ICS using flashtool, and then rooted the phone using using Doomlord's instructions on this thread: [ROOT] Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]{LOCKED BOOTLOADERS ALSO}
Once all was done and the phone was up and running I reconnected with flashtool and wanted to clean it by removing all the crapware. I went through the list and and completed the process. The apps I sellected for removal was copied to the apps_saved folder but after the phone rebooted all those apps were still on the phone and not removed at all.
Any suggestions, or let me know if you require any further information from me.

[Q] Unable to flash stock firmware

I'm trying to flash a stock firmware on my new Z1 Compact to get rid of German operator branding (I'm in The Netherlands). This is my first Xperia device but I've flashed Android devices a bunch of times before.
I've checked a couple of guides, downloaded Sony PC Companion, the latest FlashTool and a x.681 Z1c firmware, since that would give me the opportunity to make sure OTA updates still works when the device updates itself to x.757. I've no interest in unlocking the bootloader or obtaining root, just yet.
First I installed just the flash-mode and Z1c drivers for FlashTool but after some more reading I installed all drivers in the driver pack. Also tried multiple firmware images from different sources. Whichever I use, the results is always the same: Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
I've found some posts referencing this error for different devices, some answers suggesting to install the latest FlashTool and drivers, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on what causes this error (and how to solve it).
I think I'm supposed to see a green led when the device is in flash mode. Instead I get a led that blinks red/green for a (fraction of) a second, and then turns off. FlashTool doesn't complain though and starts the flashing process. Most of the time it takes quite some time 'reading device information' but sometimes it proceeds immediately, the error about loader.sin is always the same though. The processHeader:995 error doesn't appear every time.
Any advice? Since I'm out of ideas...

What is your operating system? Have you tried deactivating anti virus or another computer?
Good news, flashing in progress as I'm typing this
I was using a Windows7 VM (vmware). I've tried the Linux version of FlashTool instead and it's flashing now. Had my share of troubles with USB devices on VMs in the past but usually stuff just didn't work / wasn't detected properly by the VM. Since everything seemed to work and install fine with the Z1c, I didn't suspect VM issues but I should have known better...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
download loader.sin file, this for XMS or this for XMD.
then extract C200X.zip or C190X.rar to C:\Flashtool\devices\ folder

thanks guys for Ur support.my problem is solved.....this was the driver problem on windows 8.so i tried on windows7 ..and successfully flashed..bt facing some issue..battery draining faster and while charging ,the phone is hitting..why this is occur????
and how can i flash 4.4 rom?
i think 4.3 is draining faster than 4.1.2,
u need to unlock bootloader in order to install 4.4, because there is no official release, you can use CM rom, or any other custom rom for XM
Yes, i unlocked my bootloader and downloading 4.4 rom... Bt why my phn is getting hot while charging
many things can cause that, easiest method is turn your phone off while charging
