So this is my problem, i bought a Xperia arc from Spain ,but i don't live in Spain so i had to decode my phone to work in my country, ok so the guy who decoded my phone said i can update the software and yesterday a new update came out i tryed to install it and now my phone doesn't turn on anymore.
I didn't know what to do, after searching the internet i found the flashtool so i tried to flash my phone everything was good until the end, when this appears
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - Flashing finished.
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - Please wait. Phone will reboot
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
11/022/2012 01:22:19 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
11/022/2012 01:22:20 - INFO - Device disconnected
11/022/2012 01:22:22 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
11/023/2012 01:23:03 - INFO - Device disconnected
And this goes on and on.
Can someone tell me what to do.Thanks!
Disconnect the USB cable then power-on the phone.

It doesn't turn on.
You updated over-the-air(OTA) then now cannot turn-on the phone?
Possibly brick if your phone was bootloader-unlocked and you updated OTA. Go to dev section if that's the case, I think they have a solution there on one of the sticky thread.
Or if your phone is not bootloader-unlocked, you may try first Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS) or PC Companion.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I've got a very serious problem after upgrade my R800i to 4.0.3...
here is the step I've found and did it:
1, Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development and ensure that USB Debugging is enabled.
2, Turn off and reboot into Recovery
3, Use Volume Keys to navigate and Power button to select.
4, Now, when you are in recovery mode, select “Wipe data/factory reset” and “Wipe cache partition”.
5, Select the option “Install Zip from SD Card” and choose the zip package you copied to your SD card under the requirements section.
6, Wait for the device to reboot.
7, If you return back to the recovery menu, select “++++ Go Back++++” and select “reboot system now”
8, If the device does not reboot, re-insert the battery and take some pains to follow the whole procedure again
After the step 7, my Sony Xperia Play R800i will only shows the 'Sony Ericsson' logo, and that's the only thing appear on the screen...
So then I downloaded the flashtool 0.6.8.0 and the original ftf 'R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic' to tried to unbrick it.
When I kick 'flash' on flashtool, i select the right firmware and hold the 'back' button to connect to my laptop...
but it just keep saying 'aborted' no matter how many times I try...
the Sony PC companion 2.1 won't even recognize my phone...
i haven't use mobile more then a week...i was try many way by Google...no choice but come to here... sorry guys if you think I'm 'dumb'...
What should I do sir? Please help me!!I really don't know what to do now...
I tried to upgrade to : DooMLoRD-PLAY-GSM-ICS-4.0.3-ROM-LEAKED-v01
I tried to flash with : flashtool-0.6.8.0-windows
I tried to flash with : R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic

Is your bootloader unlocked?
I use 'ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2' to put on CWM menu...
Because i try to unlock bootloader but my phone said 'no' so offically i didn't?
i have no idea what happen to this phone now...

theres your problem you need a different kernel for different roms (unless stock based - but even then you shouldnt format system) but to get into fastboot mode (to flash new kernel) you need to have an unlocked bootloader
sorry re-read it you didnt format system. try setting up flashtool and pressing flash without the usb in untill it prompts you to "hold back button and plug in usb"
Thanks your reply first!
I did that a lot too! just click flash,until it shows up to tell me to connect,and it detected me phone but aborted immediately...
I think my phone were unlocked bootloader because if i didn't...how can I got into the CWM menu?....
anyway....i spend €50 unlocked it without use it......if I can't fix it I'm going to hammer it and post it to youtube......(so sad now...)
I just did it again...

Hey there! I have just bought an xperia arc s lt18i. I am not a noob or new in android so u can answer my doubts normally, I will understand u lol!
I had a galaxy s sl and I think everything was quite different and easier. galaxy s (i9000) ROMS, firmwares, kernels, mods, etc weren't compatible with mine (i9003) and flashing them automatically bricks the phone. I have been reading a lot here and I still don't understand something...
--Are xperia arc and xperia arc s firmwares, roms, kernels and mods compatible with each other? Because I was going to root my lt18i (currently on official ics), I was downloading everything to follow the steps and I noticed I had downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware: LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42. Can I flash this with flashtools? Isn't this an arc firmware or can I flash it in my arc s? Everything is being a bit difficult to me since it is absolutely different to samsung devices and since here there are a looot of tutorials saying similar but not same things...
Hope u understand me and can help me with this.
Thank u
Hi
Flashing arc <--> arc S work normally, if you wipe, if you don't, I would say 50:50=work:not work.
Always remember: Settings will always show that, you flashed. E.g you flashed arc FW on arc S, Settings will show arc.
And it's always better to flash the right Firmware.
If you still have questions, ask them. And press Thanks0

PS: PM me if you are a Rubiks Cube lover.
Well, the idea is, that Xperia Arc S is the same to Arc except for the stronger hardware. They share the same software, Arc S just run it smoother, and the games on Arc S feels better, etc.
If a ROM can be run on the Arc then it can run on Arc S. Except for a few cases that the developer HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED the ROM for one of the two device, then the other device will receive bugs (but no brick).
To be honest, I don't feel the difference in Arc and Arc S (I own a few smartphone shops in VietNam). The difference can only be spotted within games, the Arc S does last longer in battery life though
Thanks for ur replies!

Driver has nothing to do with phone not going to fastboot.
If notification LED, the LED next to microUSB, doesn't turn led, then 2 choices:
1) You are doing it wrong - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable to phone.
2) Your phone is SIM-locked and/or branded - Fastboot is disabled. Only way is via paid method.
So i have to unlock bootloader? But if there are roms also for locked bl is because locked bl can also access to fastboot mode. Am i right?
So what must i do? How? Where can i unlock it the cheapest way? Thank u very much for ur answers!

I have never come across this issue, but if I had that problem, I would most definitely flash the firmware again just to make sure I get a clean, issue-free phone. Do note however, flashing does fail on occasions so flashing more than once is sometimes necessary.
Good luck!
I TRIED Flashing many times but i think, its not even flashing because it says at the end after saying flashing has ended that to Enable usb Debugging but i cant do that!!! also flashing takes 10 seconds and according to what i saw on you tube videos it should take 2 min

hmm strange. You don't need to enable debugging mode to flash a new rom. Are you using the latest flashtool? and are you flashing a kernel instead of a rom? :/

Hi guys. I bought an Xperia M to replace my iphone 4s. I love this phone, makes my old iphone look really craptastic speed wise. I went to do the bootloader unlock, things said they went well but now its stuck in a boot loop. Also if I flash a stock firmware on it does the boot loader stay unlocked if i use the same version that was installed? I have the fixed image to do the cwm recovery adn root, but want to know the phone is ok first. Thanks, Ive tried looking but nothing seems to truely answer my questions.

I have the fixed image to do the cwm recovery adn root, but want to know the phone is ok first. Thanks, Ive tried looking but nothing seems to truely answer my questions.

bro 1st boot after unlock takes times...if u want flash ftf...boot and leave for 0-30mins....dont wry once unlocked is unlocked forever until u manually relock
If you can enter cwm. I would recommend you to flash stock 4.3 using only your phone without pc. Go to development section and find the thread called back up stock and radios by bonoboo. Its so useful and less bricked pisibility.

Hey thanks. Is there a way to see if the bootloader is unlocked? I let it sit for more than a half hour (@ 45 minutes I ended up flashing it as I needed the phone to be a phone) and still didn't complete a boot cycle. I ended up flashing a stock 1.9 and now seems to be much happier. I understand how to flash the kernel, but havent done it yet.
Hi guys. I have the exact same problem. Used fastboot to unlock my bootloader, using the command
>> fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
and it spit out
OKAY [ 0.074s]
finished.
But now the phone is stuck in boot loop.
Now I want to reflash the kernel on it. I found some kernel and downloaded it, and then tried to do
>> fastboot flash kernel kernel.sin
but I get command not allowed error. So I am really baffled. Since my bootloader is unlocked, I can't use Sony PC Companion either.
Some guidance or help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Here is an update. I flashed the CWM boot.ini and went to CWM. I noticed that when I wanted to wipe all data, I would get
Error mounting /data!
which may explain the boot loop.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Flash the FTF from here if you have the XM single sim, or look for the ftf for XM Dual if you have the dual sim XM.

Try putting the battery out for 10 minutes and then try reflashing .ftf file
But sadly that sounds like a brick to me. Do the LEDs flash at anytime?

It is your usb cable or the usb slot.. thats a common problem for xperia phones.. try to put your phone higher than your pc so that the pressure of the charger will increase .and flash ftf.
And if this doesn't work, try a different USB cable.

Flash stock rom using flash tool.
After the boot loader unlock, I flashed the stock rom, then the cwm kernel, and then rooted it. I freaked out at first as I thought I bricked it. After giving it 25 minutes after the unlock process, did the above. It works fine and has given me 0 problems.
