[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S won't boot up.

When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your question is too general. Did you do anything to your phone?

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.

you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Well, there are scripts available that can relock the bootloader...
Link-in's method works too.

Whoops, guess I meant I flashed an FTF... lol. Something I found on YouTube.
But yeah, I've run into another problem; while rooting the phone (using this guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957), I think I've bricked my phone again. I didn't enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources, so it got stuck at Daemon Started Successfully. Haven't been able to boot into my phone since. Sorry if this problem has been solved before, wasn't able to find the solution while searching that thread.'
EDIT: ...sorry again, managed to stumble my way through and revive my phone.

What was on the phone before you put muiu 4on it ?
For latest stock rom download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?rhr59r4o6oarnfx
unizip file to desktop, inside should be .587.ftf
Open Flashtool >select flashmode top left in lightning button.
Drag .587.tft file only into flashtool main window>let files load
wait for program to ask you to connect phone > follow on screen instructions> make sure you press the correct button an hold it before you connect the usb cable to phone. if done right to LED on phone will be Green.
Wait till you see the files start to load into the phone on the flashtool window>then let go of the button
the uptodate stock rom is now being loaded, there is nothing more to do than wait.
Only disconnect the cable from the phone when flashtool tells you, then start the phone takes a little while first time.set up your friends phone for him, and be careful next time and read about what you want to do first before you try it.

[Q] R800x won't boot even after flashing stock firmware

I unlocked the boot loader and I'm assuming the phone automatically updated over night, because now it won't boot, only vibrates. I tried using the flashtool and even though it says it does it successfully, it still won't boot. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 referenced but the file it links to is not up. Can some one reup the file some where or give me some other advice?

Well does the led flash red 3 times?

Whoops! No problem you can boot your phone into fastboot via flashtool/doomlord's fastboot via ADB you don't need to press search button for that.

[Q] Want to root and install R800a, very lost.

Hi guys, as the title said, I want to root my new Xperia Play R800a, and I am very lost right now. Ultimately, my goal is to install Xperia NXT 2r1. I think that since I have the r800a version, I am not able unlock the bootloader, so I am ok with not having a custom kernel.
But the problem is, I'm totally lost right now. Could anyone show me a guide or something to what I'm supposed to do to start? That's all I'm asking.
What I HAVE done is downloaded everything they asked for me to download in the post, and have installed flashtools, but whenever I try flashing the firmware 4.0.2 enhanced, I am not able to do so. It is just stuck on a screen where it tells me to go to fastboot mode, but I go to fastboot mode, and for some reason it isn't recognized. (I know it's fastboot because the power button is glowing blue.) I think a driver might be installed incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to install it correctly after.
I'm sorry if my post isn't that helpful, I'll add any more information if you guys want me too.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I actually did that right after. What's wrong now though, is that I got it flashed, but If i try to root it, nothing happens. I press the button and there is no response. Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late response -
I flashed Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced, the one that they told me to flash in the guide.
I did notice however, that it said that it was for r800i. I just assumed it was universal. Is there a specific firmware I should be flashing for r800a?

Thanks for the response!
I went to that link and downloaded and flashed R800a_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftfwith vendor partition NEWEST FTF, but the same thing happens when I try to root. It's like the button is unresponsive. Is there a specific ftf I was supposed to flash?

Alright found out the problem. Apparently there are two versions of flashtool. One version doesn't work while the other does. I honestly don't know what the difference is. But for other people who might be facing the same problem, if your flashtool has only three icons, Flash, Root, and check for SU permissions I think (it looks like a key), then you have the wrong version. Your flashtool should have 7 icons.

Doesn't Matter

Oh yes, I found that out a bit later. The problem was lying in the flashtools I was using. Once I got the right flashtools, I reflashed the previous firmware rooted it, installed the rom, and it all worked perfectly.

flash mod not working properly
I open up FlashTool get my ftf ready to flash, turn the phone off. Next step is volume down and plug in the USB cable, but instead of the light coming up green, it flashes green then immediately red (or possibly vice versa) then the light goes off, but FlashTool still thinks it's connected and in flash mode until I remove the cable.
