I wanted to downgrade my arc s from .62 to .42 so i can root. I flashed it and after the process finished, i disconnected the phone and it started into a boot loop. I can't do anything now. How to fix this? I tried flahsing it once more but the phone is not recognized. Im afraid that the battery will dry out and afraid that it will brick the phone because when i plug it in to the power suply, doesn't shows any signs of charging.
How can i fix this please? Thanx
Pull battery out to exit the boot loop.
And then reflash the FW using Flashtool.
if i pull it out, wont it brick my phone? Thanx
Why it should brick your device?
How do you put your SIM or microSD in without pulling out the battery?
You can fix flashing a new kernel, like DoomLord kernel v18.

Simply pull out battery and reflash the rom to solve...
I fixed it. I had to flash another firmware because the one i used in the first place didn't work.
Now that im rooted, how can i update to the latest firmware? As i heard, can i do it over the air? Now im .266 and id like on .62.
Thanx

not sure about what happen if you update ota with your rooted fw,but you can update using flashtool,find some fw from dev section..

landis, the current firmware that he used should be not compatible with the kernel, some Roms not compatible, then i said to him to flash kernel, like DoomLord kernel, than fixed it...
You don't know which ROM he wants to flash, he just flashed .42 FW for root and ended up in a boot loop.
He can solve this with my instructions given in the replies, so there is no need to flash a kernel atm.

If you haven't modded some system apps and your BL is locked, OTA should work as well.

Thanx everyone for your replies. I managed to get out of the boot loop but i am still very confused what am i doing wrong because cyanogenmod doest work. I unlocked the boot loader, rooted, instaled clockwork mod, wiped the datas and caches, instaled from sd card and i always get stuck on that blue cyanogen logo while alternating witht the green press android to begin screen, 4 out of 5 times with unresponsive touchscreen. On time it managed to get to homescreen but briefly because rapidly in changed again to that blue screen loading and after a couple times i saw the cyanogen lock screen but without being able to do anything while looping in that booting or loading sequence with that blue logo screen. Im tired and confused of tryin this over an over again, and now im on .266 firmware and i guess because i have unlocked the bootloader i cant update to .42 ota and i cant find another .42 firmware for arc s that wouldnt get stuck after flashing. Any sugestions ? Thanx guys

If he has already unlocked the BL, he should flash the patched kernel from here.
zdzihu's ROM is only for locked BLs.
thanks for reply and also flash kernel but still black light

This is a hardware failure, but there are soft-workarounds, as I mentioned above, try one of the patched kernels, it should work.
My phone is a Xperia Arc (also known as lt15i) and it is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader.
It runs on Android 2.3.4.
I wanted to install CWM, and followed a guide for that.
Since I can't link the guide, I can just say that it's name was "How to root sony ericsson xperia arc lt15i and install custom rom" and tht is was on listenmefirst.
From that guide, all i did was option 2 for installing CWM.
At the end of the guide, it says "reboot your phone", and I did, and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
I've tried several different keycombinations without anything happening (holding down volume / holding left and right buttons / holding home+volume up). It does however blink a blue light when I hold left and right button, but it seems to have no effect.
So my question is: is there any way to get out of this bootloop?
if you have an unlocked bootloader you can simply flash a kernel that has CWM though fastboot or flashtool
Since your on 2.3.4, this may sound obvious, use a gingerbread kernel.
I used this for pretty much all GB roms i used

So I can't just flash it over to ICS for example?

Then you need a kernel that supports ICS.
there's no possible way for me to brick your phone if you already have an unlocked bootloader. You can wipe everything off and start over. Everything can be solved.

If you just wanted to get out of the bootloop (like your title lol) then you need to flash GB kernel.
If you want to go to ICS you need to put an ICS ROM onto your SD card, flash kernel, then install rom
Thanks for the help, got it out of the bootloop today with flashtool! =)

Maybe you should flash some other recovery. I recommend taking the boot.img from the zip of the latest CyanogenMod nightly for ZL. After that you can flash the rom of your choice.

Okay, I think now I may have accidentally hardbricked my phone. I tried relocking and re-unlocking my bootloader. Everything went ok but now I cant start the phone. When I press the power button it only vibrates once and then thats it. Flashtool detects it in both flashmode and fast boot but I cant flash any recovery. Please don't tell me its the end for my phone.

If you can get your phone in fastboot or flashmode, your phone is not hard bricked. There is still hope.
What do you mean you can't flash recovery?

Something weird happened.I clicked on the BLU button on flashtool and it says my device is still unlocked. After unlocking using flash tool I am now able to flash CWM and TWRP. But both recoveries still would not let me install the roms I mentioned earlier. It still thinks that I'm on another device. Currently downloading CM11 from the CM website. Waiting for my download to finish. But I have a feeling it still wouldn't work. btw, thanks for going through step by step with me. I'm still new to xperia devices. Owned an s plus last time and the whole rom flashing process wasn't really hard like this one.lol
EDIT: UPDATE!!! I have finally found the reason for my problem. I flashed an incorrect version of the boot.img.Because I dump all the stuff related to flashing rom and I dont really remember the location in which I downloaded the boot.img. So what I did was I extracted the whole content of the rom that I downloaded proceed to flash the boot.img using flashtool. from there on, everything works perfectly! thanks for your help. Without ur suggestion, I wouldn't have tought of manually getting the boot.img!
Hello geeks, please help me out wai, I was updating my xperia arc s via OTA and dumsor happened all I could do is watch my run out of battery and go off, when the light was in, I powered my phone on just to see it stuck in a boot loop with xperia on the screen that's all. I flashed it with xpreia flash tool using ICS 4.0.4 since that's the FW version it had before but still it remained in boot loop just as it was before, I then downgraded to gingerbread and still stick in boot loop.Hmmm am worried indeed can someone please help me out? maybe recommend a different software for the flashing cos I Google and all they recommend is the flashtool I had used before. Plsssss Help

Hey friends,
I finally managed to brick my device (c6503).
Had it on resurrectionremix and wanted to go to lineage. After that didnt boot i tried some older CM12/11 builds and finally lost my recovery whith flashing an aosp rom...
I decided to go on stock using flashtool, and now here I am, looking as stupid as it gets
Tried various ftf's using flashtool, always resulting an a black screen after the sony logo. now i dont know what to do next.
Your Help is much appreciated

I was able to find a solution myself. I flashed some Kernel which included cwm via flashtool. I was able to boot into this recovery. Then I used ADB sideload to install CM14.1 unofficial and voilà!
I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.
Regards!
Were you able to return to ROM STOCK ??
I'd like that, but unfortunately I could not, even flashing a custom recovery on it.
I would like to go back to ROM STOCK, do you know any tips?

I have a similar question, I appreciate your help if you can.
Now, I have 7.1.1 Nougat from XOSP , and it works well. I'm trying to restore the official kernel from Sony, using Sony's Emma, to make some tests. When I flash the package from Emma onto C6503, it won't turn on, just show Sony Xperia logo and then black screen. Do I need to flash other packages ? I thought the Sony's official kernel has all things to put it back to near original form.
Thanks!
I have Installed RR-N 20160312 then revert to stock LL, then Only Sony/Xperia Logo. Then I ask some question, they say Flash Kk, successfully flash the Kk build. But unfortunately, My Internal Storage Cannot Read. I think that was the Problem why flashing LL just make it only Sony Logo, No Bootamation. Still finding a workaround to fix this

I was not able to return to stock Rom. In fact, I tried to revert to stock today by simply flashing it with flashtool but got the same "black screen after Xperia logo" issue as last time. I would like to return to stock in the future, but for now I dont know how and I dont think there is anyone dedicaded to fix this issue right now.

Well, just got back to Stock 5.1.1.
Followed the idea posted by Kran007:
-Coming back from CM14, used EMMA FlashTool, that resulted in the famous black screen
-Flashed stock Kit Kat FTF using FlashTool (not EMMA) with unlocked bootloader (should work perfectly fine for locked bootloaders as well) and started the phone correctly.
-When back to FlashTool and locked the bootloader, just in case.
-Used PC Companion to update to the latest build available, only works with locked bootloader i think
It's not the best solution, it isn't the fastest either, but it works!!!
Hope this can help anyone...
Just flash stock 4.4 kk firmware using flashtool. Yes, it needs a lot of work to go back to stock LP, root and have recovery but it is the best way when you flash custom rom with nougat and above. I don't face again the problem of not accessing internal storage ☺
