Hey everybody.
I've tried to update my Xperia Play R800a to 2.3.4 using Flashtools, as my country hasn't received this update yet.
After following all the steps it said this:
"04/000/2012 23:00:38 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Then go to application settings
04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging"
But I had already turned on both options, and it doesn't turn on anymore.
What should I do?
Thank you all!
How much charge does the battery have? If it is really low you could have burned up the t rest of the juice flashing

It was fully charged. I could restore my phone, tried to flash again, didn't work again, had to restore again (back to 2.3.3).
I'm wondering why I can't flash it.
try a other pc
you must!! install java FIRST!
or try a other usb-cable
was trying to reflash the 2.3.4 update after my phone randomly bricked itself but whenn i try to go into flashmode i get a red light and nothing works. i have used flashtool before and it worked on the same firmware, my bootloader is unlocked rooted etc. but normal kernal. pplease help
Can you still use SEUS? If you can then just use the repair part and it will say repair in blue click that and follow steps

im rooted with an unlocked bootloader... i thought yout cant use seus after the bootloader is unlocked because it will brick it?
I had this happen to me I think...when you hold the power button does it feel like it wants to turn on and doesn't...keep holding it down and it just vibrates a lot?
yeah sometimes it vibrates a couple of times somtimes not at all... but i cant get flashmode to work the light goes red instead of green... find any solutions?
Don't have the link on me right now but you can relock your bootloader through flashtool if you can get flash mode working (check the dev section, theres a thread on it there). Unfortunately it sounds like thats not possible at the current time so I'm pretty sure your only other option is talking to Alejandrissimo or anyone else who does test point unlocks to see what options you have, that being said I'd put money on them being able to do something. Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322827
sorry correct me if im wrong but i unlocked my bootloader the official way.... from what i understand it cant be relocked and do you have to pay for those test point unlocks ? it says on his thread that the cause is omnius? what is omnius? thanks
This happened to me, I got lucky after sitting at the computer for a prolonged period of time I got it to work. with flashtool I re-locked the phone then used a sony tool to update and restore.
For the official unlock way you can relock with the .ftf file, again you'll need to enter flash mode to do it though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334
As for the test point unlocks, unlocks generally run ~$24, but thats not what you need (I wouldn't think), so I don't know how much they would charge you, if anything. Reason being to unlock the phone it takes "credits" using that tool (or any test point unlock) and those cost them money, depending on what is done to fix your phone it may not use any. But of course the only way to know is to ask them.
Do you know how you got flash tool to work because im lost. the red light just comes up when I press the back button and then it starts charging I think because it goes orange then green but it Wont go into flash mode ? could i be doing something wrong?I really appreciate all the help guys sorry.
edit: ive also noticed that when i plug it in it keeps connecting and disconnecting and changing from usb debugging on and off this is just a small bit of it repeats itself

Ya I'm not sure, might mean its too dead for flashtool, but it does recognize it... Weird, anyway lets do a quick run through. Turn the phone off, seeing as it wont boot just pull the battery then put it back in and close it up. Hold the back key and plug it in to your computer (make sure you hold, not just press). If it goes green, you're golden and can continue on your way. If it turns any other colour, you have a problem. I'm sure you're doing it right but check this tutorial anyway:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
Could just be a driver problem or something. Anyway if you can't get flashtool to work, then you can't use SEUS, leaving you with only a couple options. You could try messing around with fastboot if you can get into fastboot mode (blue light), maybe boot into recovery, clear stuff, maybe flash CM7 kernel and all, I don't know. The only other option (aside from sending it in of course) would be to talk to someone who does the test point unlocks, because odds are they've seen this before, and really I'd say this is your best option if you can't get flashtool working. Just follow that link I posted before about the unlock and follow the link in their sig, on the site it even mentions repairing the phone if it wont turn on. Anyway thats all I've got, good luck and keep us posted.
unfortunately iv'e tried everything nothing worked. iv'e just emailed alejandrissimo to see if he can help. quick question my warranty is gone but do you think i would be able to trick them into a replacement if i play dumb? because they cant exactly turn on my phone . if i say it overheated then cut out and wouldn't work?
i really appreciate all the help
You could try, I mean of course wait on a response from Alejandrissimo first, but keep in mind you did the official unlock, you had to provide sony with your IMEI, meaning they at least know you GOT the unlock code specific to your phone. But that being said if you do send it in any excuse really depends on who you get and maybe some luck. Like I said though, I'm fairly confident Alejandrissimo might be able to pull something off, so hope for the best and let us know how it plays out.
*EDIT* This sound familiar?

Hopefully that's all it is, note the free part , also I did some reading about some other xperias having the red light problem and some were just faulty battery related (not that I think it is in this case but its still a possibility)
Hey there! I have just bought an xperia arc s lt18i. I am not a noob or new in android so u can answer my doubts normally, I will understand u lol!
I had a galaxy s sl and I think everything was quite different and easier. galaxy s (i9000) ROMS, firmwares, kernels, mods, etc weren't compatible with mine (i9003) and flashing them automatically bricks the phone. I have been reading a lot here and I still don't understand something...
--Are xperia arc and xperia arc s firmwares, roms, kernels and mods compatible with each other? Because I was going to root my lt18i (currently on official ics), I was downloading everything to follow the steps and I noticed I had downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware: LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42. Can I flash this with flashtools? Isn't this an arc firmware or can I flash it in my arc s? Everything is being a bit difficult to me since it is absolutely different to samsung devices and since here there are a looot of tutorials saying similar but not same things...
Hope u understand me and can help me with this.
Thank u
Hi
Flashing arc <--> arc S work normally, if you wipe, if you don't, I would say 50:50=work:not work.
Always remember: Settings will always show that, you flashed. E.g you flashed arc FW on arc S, Settings will show arc.
And it's always better to flash the right Firmware.
If you still have questions, ask them. And press Thanks0

Well, the idea is, that Xperia Arc S is the same to Arc except for the stronger hardware. They share the same software, Arc S just run it smoother, and the games on Arc S feels better, etc.
If a ROM can be run on the Arc then it can run on Arc S. Except for a few cases that the developer HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED the ROM for one of the two device, then the other device will receive bugs (but no brick).
To be honest, I don't feel the difference in Arc and Arc S (I own a few smartphone shops in VietNam). The difference can only be spotted within games, the Arc S does last longer in battery life though
Thanks for ur replies!

It does reboot. It reboots back into flashmode. Disconnect cable and turn on the phone. It is meant to be so.

Driver has nothing to do with phone not going to fastboot.
If notification LED, the LED next to microUSB, doesn't turn led, then 2 choices:
1) You are doing it wrong - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable to phone.
2) Your phone is SIM-locked and/or branded - Fastboot is disabled. Only way is via paid method.
So i have to unlock bootloader? But if there are roms also for locked bl is because locked bl can also access to fastboot mode. Am i right?
So what must i do? How? Where can i unlock it the cheapest way? Thank u very much for ur answers!

I have never come across this issue, but if I had that problem, I would most definitely flash the firmware again just to make sure I get a clean, issue-free phone. Do note however, flashing does fail on occasions so flashing more than once is sometimes necessary.
Good luck!
I TRIED Flashing many times but i think, its not even flashing because it says at the end after saying flashing has ended that to Enable usb Debugging but i cant do that!!! also flashing takes 10 seconds and according to what i saw on you tube videos it should take 2 min

hmm strange. You don't need to enable debugging mode to flash a new rom. Are you using the latest flashtool? and are you flashing a kernel instead of a rom? :/

You Must Change Kernel Wich Recomendation From CusROM. Maybe you ROM needs Unlock and Change Kernel.

I simply turned off my phone! It was running Xperia Ultimate HD
I don't think its hard bricked.Devices don't ever get bricked simply after turning off.
I think it is only not booting up.
Use flashtool and flash stock firmware.
Flash again if it does not boot up.
You will be alright.

This looks like Unlocked bootloader OTA brick,this happened to me once,try to lock your bootloader then flashing with flashtool and then unlock again.

Yes but he said he was on ultimate hd rom so why would it brick the phone? Just from update?
