I did something really stupid and have now bricked my Xperia Arc S. I intended to flash the phone to LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42 but i used the wrong firmware, instead i flashed it with MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware and now the phone wont even turn on. So when i plug it on PC Companion thinks it's an Xperia Neo and i cant seem to be able to reflash it as i cant get it into flashmode.
Can anyone help me?
flash it with
LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42
No, the LT18i version

Hey guys,
So i have been rounding the forum for weeks and i still cant manage to install MIUI on my xperia the thing is its has lockedbootloader and i have no ideia how to root it and CWM on it.
I have found some threads but most of them with broken english and i just dont get it.
I want to change my rom badly since i find xperia stock rom horrid.
Big hug
Here are the steps to rooting your phone and installing CWM
1. Download Flashtool and flash a rootable arc or arc s rom (if you're using arc s, here's one). You can usethis tutorial to help
2. Download and extract this
3. Put your phone on debugging mode and connect it to your computer
4. Run the 'runme.bat' from the extracted folder
5. Download x-Parts from google play and it'll install CWM on your phone.
Done! :highfive:
Thanks alot! i still cant find a rootable arc rom i'm using the normal one arc LT15-i
Okays that's fine. Flash a normal arc Lt15i rom, and then flash this, and then root it, and then flash this
You should be fine now
I guess thats no problem flashing with lt18i kernel?
(sorry for my ignorance noob here)
Ok so now the thing is i encountered a lt15i root ready rom i began flashing and it gets stuck at 14%

no man i didn't unlock the bootloader,i can't do it with flashtool
Sony now has the ability to give out unlock codes for the Play, if my memory serves. You may want to try it. It will break any warranty you have, so be aware of that.

If you didnt unlock your bootloader before installing a custom rom. Idk how else to help you. You might have to send off your xperia play to Sony.

No phone is bricked!!!! hardware does not boot with out software. there was a way they put it in so im going to help you fix it!!!
i have bricked my phone several times and im a pro at fixing them too! lol
question one does your phone turn on?

Yes use his flashtool. But the real question can you use it if your bootloader is locked.
works on both
If a boot loader is locked it means its intact hense the word locked. So the phone boots so all you have to do is..
Download your stock ftf file for you phone.
Hold the back button when you connect your phone and flash your firmware back. Light should turn green.
If it don't hold the power button while you connect it Sonay used this method to put it in the first time.i

Hi
I was hoping you could help me. I rooted my play and was following a youtube video as descibed. I couldn't attach the link because I am a new member. It was the new ics 4.0.4 from the android doctor - 100% bug free gaming rom. I had difficulty in flash tools when i needed to go into fastboot mode to install the Lupus kernel. So I installed the cwm mode from the internet and tried to install the ics from its recovery mode. Now I just get the sony logo, then the screen goes black. It is still on. I have reinstalled flashtools and have seen some stock roms on this site to download. The problem I have is when I select the rom to flash, whilst it recognises that my phone is in flash mode, I get a error flash cancelled. I have tried 3 different stock roms. I am in the process of downloading Emma - a flashtool from Sony. Hopefully my phone is not screwed. It was on 2.3.4. One week old unlocked rx800i. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..
Tommy

You guys remember about 2011 June, a problem came up with unlocked bootloader and OTA update. the first fix that came out broke the radio rom or something so your phone won't accept any sim but will boot and be like a psp or media player. well. that happened to me. and 2 years down the line, i'm still with my play hoping someone could come up with a solution for that.
boots up fine. plays games and audio video no probs but still can't accept any sim in it.
Specs are as follows
model R800i
android version 2.3.4
baseband number 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #1
Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.42
I don't understand what is wrong. First of all I don't seem to understand actually what model I brought?! I am damn sure i brought a Xperia SL. But there is no specific forum for SL in XDA. When i browsed around, i found out The Xperia S has model number as LT26 and has two models LT26i and LT26a, and mine is LT26i ! But in settings it shows MODEL Number as LT26ii (double i ??? )
So can someone tell me what Sony product I have actually brought?
then, when i connect to PC Companion, it says a new update available - 6.1.A.2.55 [Mine is 6.1.A.2.45].
And when I do all the process as stated by it says
"UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PHONE SOFTWARE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION AND TRY AGAIN"
Even though my internet connection is perfectly working.
Then I tried to update using SEUS.. I followed all steps .. Switch off phone, wait 30 secs, hold back button and connect usb, after everything it displays "THE PRODUCT COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED".. what the hell ?!
I have attached images of both the errors in the attachments. Please help me out.
LT26ii is an SL
Its effectively the same software etc as an S just yours runs @ 1.7ghz
Not sure why pc companion etc won't work. We use flashtool on here. But you'd have to see if they're are ftf files available for the firmware update you want

Nopes. Its good as new.:good:
Ftf files we use for Flashtool (firmware flasher for Sony Devices) if u r unable to update via Pcc or Update Service u should use it. And your problem about internet connection error is common for updating sony. Its from sony server to reduce overload you can try again after day or two it will start work. Had the same problem wen I was updating to 4.0.4 from GB.
Stock firmware search here

Search around the forum, there's plenty of tutorials out there. Also do some research before you do anything to your phone. Don't try it if you cannot understand the instructions.

At sony's logo?
Then you dont have an unlock bootloader, and you can't install any CM based ROM.
Use the pc companion or whatever software recommended on those tutorials to flash an original firmware form sony and bring "back to life" your phone. I don't know if you need to root your phone again (it disappear)
Thanks guys flashing it worked...just needed to wipe cache thanks
