I have Xperia Pro (MK16i), Rooted, Locked Bootlader. i just have one question, i follow the procedure for downgrade my phone to .58 and then root and install CWM using the method in the Xperia Xtreme Tweaker Thread, but now i have one problem the CWM is not working anymore. Every time I try to use the CWM and turn off and then turn on my phone and i press the - volume down button, it get stuck in the sony ercisson screen and the only way to pull back the phone is removing the battery.
i already flash 3 times the firmware .58 and i rooted the phone and it appear to be everything alright but then the damn CWM is still not working and it get stuck every time.

I had recently flashed my phone with a custom rom (I do that all the time, when a new rom comes up, for testing) But because battery drain issues with custom roms, i decided to go back to the stock firmware, so i flashed my rom with the ver 4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212). When i connected my phone to my wifi network it showed, a new update that was available i.e 4.0.1.A.0.42 ver. so i downloaded it via wifi and when it started installing the update, my phone suddenly switched off. And nw it wont turn on...I tried flashing it again, the flashing process successfully completes but still the phone wont switch on. When i press the power button it just vibrates for short time and a green light (flashing light) flashes on and off. The fone wont enter into fastboot mode. when i plug it to the usb the green light glow even if i dont press the back button.... what do i do...
any help would be appreciated ...thank you in advance.
Did you unlock the bootloader? You cannot update OTA with it.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
yes the bootloader is unlocked..
i wonder if your phone can be resurrected by Alejandrissimo
That's what happens when you don't follow instructions.. There are many, many warnings all over these forums about OTA causing problems with an unlocked bootloader.

Did u try to fix the problem with Flashtool (flashing a stock rom on ur phone)
Yeah...I'ld be really carefull the next time....Can be repaired or i'll have to find a SE service center.. ??
Yeah ....flashing completes ... but it doesn't start, Does the same thing ....when i press the power button it just vibrates...
Try to flash a new kernel on it with a guided Tutoril...u will find one here or try to boot the RecoveryPLAY.img with fastboot too
I cant enter the fastboot mode....if i press the search button and plug the usb nothing happens for sometime and the fone enters the flash mode. so i guess that i'll have to recover the boot ...i guess its corrupted...
now i have the ultimate solution...relock the bootloader again, then flash a stock rom on it...it will work fine again!!

But my ARC don't unlock bootloader And I still warranty
And my Arc not power on only vibrate
try flashing a .62 build if your phone is on .42 build (or reverse) that would reset your phone to stock
if that doesnt work, then search your problem on XDA

Can someone help ?
better show it to sony service center if it is still under warranty
Try flashing the Stock ICS, if that doesn't work then you'll know if your phone has a serious issue.
I have a similar issue. Are you using the MicroSD card that came with the phone? I have suspicions on using different flash memory cards. Testing that theory for a few days with JJ Hybrid 3.1 ROM. If it does not hang for a few days I will put my 32GB Samsung card back in and see if it hangs again.

i have the same problem here.
phone still off more than 40 days.
today i try to do this and can't fix.
in sonyericsson they say need a factur , only repair if i got this, but i have a big fire in my home and don't have this paper. sucks sony ericsson,
Hi,
This is my brother's phone, and he tells me he went to use it the other day and the phone was off. When he turned it on it would show the "Sony Ericsson" screen, then the AT&T logo and back to the Sony screen, and the loop continues. The only way to make it stop is to remove the battery.
His phone is stock and has never been rooted or unlocked. I tried flashtools but can't use it because the phone has a locked boot loader. I tried to unlock it through the Sony mobile site, but can't because it asks to go to the menu of the phone which I cannot do for obvious reasons to verify if it is unlockable. I tried to do so anyway, but the instructions say that you press the "search" key while connecting it to the computer and a BLUE LED would turn on, this phone turns on Orange. At this point I am stuck and don't have a clue what can be done now.
What I really want is to just get the phone working, it doesn't matter if it goes back to stock or if it will have a custom firmware, just to get it working again.
I appreciate if someone points me to the right direction on what I can do to restore the phone. Any tutorials or instructions related to this specific issue. I have found multiple threads similar to this but all involved previously rooted/unlocked phones. Also, I mostly use Linux so any instructions for Linux users would be great.
Thanks
You don't. Need to unlock it top use flash tool. Download an ftf for the phone. And choose flash mode in flash tool. Then choose the ftf you want to flash. And it will tell you to unplug the phone and plug it back in while holding the back button. A green led should turn on then it should flash the data and reboot and it will be back to stock

As above, Flashtool doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. A link to the stock R800at firmwire here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Thanks! This worked perfectly, I mistakenly downloaded what Sony calls "Flashtool" on the Sony mobile site (named "Emma" when installed).
Any idea what could have happened to the phone in the first place to render it unbootable?
Again thanks for your help!
Could be the cache/dalvik partitions messing up. Usually when I get the same problem I just pop into recovery and clear these, but that does require root.
Quite strange for it to happen on a stock, non-rooted device though. Is the device working now?

You don't need root to have recovery, unlocked bootloader is enough. Just saying

Well, for me who had "bootlocker unlock status: no", I had to do it via root instead. Got to love X-Parts!

Hi everyone,
I hope you guys can help me with my problem.
I recently decided to root my Xperia S and put a custom rom on it.
The first thing i did was unlocking my bootloader following this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Then i rooted the device with this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44918676&postcount=1
Instead of putting the 6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly immediatly after the rooting process i first installed recovery using this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308493
Only after installing recovery i put the kernel back to 6.2.B.1.96.
After this my phone was fully working, rooted with unlocked bootloader and latest official version.
I wanted to try to install a custom rom on it and installed this one --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476341 trough recovery.
I wasn't happy about this rom and wanted to try a different one but could not access the recovery anymore.
At this point i used an official 6.2.B.1.96 tft to install everything back to official. After this i noticed my root privileges were gone.
I wanted to root it back so i tried to follow the rooting tutorial again and flashed my kernel back to 6.2.B.0.211.
After this flash my screen turned black and i am not able to see anything on it.
My touchscreen and phone is still working as i hear the screenlock sound when i swipe my screen to unlock it.
I am still able to take pictures, to plug it on my computer (I see the pictures in DCIM) and flashmode and fastboot are still working.
I searched the past day on the net at tried everything i could find. I flashed again, tried with Emma, locked my bootloader again and tried with PCC but nothing works. Screen stays black.
Please, i hope you guys can guide me trough this process.
Thank you !
Update: I connected my phone with an HDMI cable to my tv and i can see my phone on the screen.
I am sure the phone is working.
Please guys help me, i have no idea what to do now.
