Xperia Arc S Problem. Please Help! :(

Hi Guys.
I need your help. I recently bought a second hand Xperia Arc S from a friend.
It had no problems what-so-ever. When I got it I factory data reset it.
It was working fine. Then I unlocked the bootloader rooted it and install cwm.
It was still fine. I then installed Doomlords kernal and installed Titanium Backup.
I removed all the apps and stuff i did not need or want. I made no ackups of the stock rom or any of the apps. Then today i Hard reset it to find i have no lockscreen i dont here a sound when i recive a call ot text and my camera no longer works also usb is not recognised by the phone, so i can't get to mass storage mode meaning i CAN'T USE SEUS OR PCC!. I then went off today and tried to flash the ICS .ftf and I got errors.
WHAT DO I DO! PLEASE HELP I'M A COMPLETE ANDROID NOOB
Thanks in advanced.
Chris

Of course ..
but flashing Unofficial kernel won't let it boot " as I know .. "
I had this problem when I tried to relock my bl and my mobile died for 5 hours cuz It was on unofficial kernel , I wasn't able to unlock it again , and not able to fix by Update service or pc companion ..
until I found that I should have just flashed the official Rom , then I was able to re-unlock the boot loader ..
and play Hack mode and kill my mobile with Cutom Roms again ...

oh okay. Flashing now

i got another error. will post log now.

Is you bootloader unlocked??
What ROM or Kernel do you use?

i received an update notification when i using wifi..then i just download it and install..next it turns off automatically..after a few minutes it doesnt on.. ( i think the notification is from ''update center'' or something like that.. )

It'll most probably be fine don't worry - this has happened to many of us! Have a read about flashtool etc and you'll know what to do next time.

your best option is PC Companion 2.1, go to support zone, then repair my phone, let it download the contents ( 10 -15 min) then choose your phone- then it will prompt to connect your phone (only connect at this stage - it will fix it this way

That's seem very strange alright. Did you get the error after you connected and selected the xperia play from the list - did it even start the download. It has options for a few different play models. Try with the other play models

my xperia arc is keep restartig plz help !!!!!!!!

hey all i'm new here and also i'm beginner in android
i have problem with my xperia arc lt15i
it keep restarting
first sony logo is coming then xperia then the home screen and after a few seconds it restart itself doing the same thing again
i tried to flash the stock rom using flashtool but the flashing process stopped at the beginning i think it because the bootloader is locked
plz help me
thank u
note : sorry for my bad english

Wrong. You can still use Flashtool even with a locked bootloader. If you're new to this, I suggest you use the PC Companion to repair your phone since it is easier.

can't start up Sony Xperia S

Hey guys,
I can't start up my Sony Xperia S. It just stucks at the SONY logo screen.
I've downloaded Xperia Companion and tried Software Repair, but it says cannot be repaired as the Bootloader is unlocked. Now I'm trying to lock the bootloader but I don't know how.
I'd like to reset my phone to its original form, i.e. bootloader locked and unrooted. Any ideas?
Btw, I'm using a Mac.
Any help/advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

I think I was trying to flash custom ROM.
But it didn't work and my phone just wouldn't start up, so I bought a new phone 6 months ago and put this aside.
Now I'd like to start up this phone and try to access my pictures etc.

OK download stock ftf (search Google for stock jelly bean for Xperia s). Then flash it by flashtool software. There is plenty of guide for how to flash official jellybean on Xperia s by flash tool.

Thanks for the advice!
I followed the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422053
Flash the official jellybean.
It has some progress but I still cannot start up my phone.
When I start it up, the Sony logo appears, followed by the Xperia logo and the colourful light stream. Then it repeats itself, SONY, Xperia, light stream........ etc.
It's better than just the SONY logo I had before.
What should I do next?

Give it some more time on that state.. It should boot OK.. If not then flash again.

I flash it again, and still it can't start up.
I gave it 30 minutes, and it's still in the loop, Sony - Xperia - lights.
what should I do?
I've also tried to repair using the Xperia Companion but it says, bootloader is unlocked, so NO.
how to relock the bootloader then?

It's really strange why this happend to you... Are you flashing the correct ftf?try a custom rom ad see what's happening

i believe that the latest flash tool doesnt work with xperia s anymore so look for an older version

Use emma..
