[Q] Xperia Arc S Lt18 died after flash boot.img

Hey buddies,
I have a big issue:
My Xperia arc S is rooted, I did the bootloader unlock with sucess, and, when I flashed the boot.img (I had sucess by ADB), after ask to "fastboot reboot' my device died :/
It can't be recognized anywhere (USB-PC, wall charger, vol up + usb but it doesn't enter in fastboot mode), it doesn't turn on anymore.. When I hold "power button + vol up + vol down + camera button it's vibrate, but nothing happened in display. I had just this feedback.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Try using flashtool. Hold down "menu" key and plug your phone into the usb. You will get into fastboot mode and then flash custom kernel.
After flashing kernel get into CWM recovery. Once you get in there its easy to install the ROM you want.
Make sure you flash kernel according to the ROM you selected or else you will get bootloop.
CHEERS!!

same issue

No, you don't need to press power button.
Switch off your device(which is already in your case) then while holding down the "menu" button on your phone, plug the phone into your computer via USB cable. If blue LED lights up, means you have successfully placed your phone in fastboot mode.
If its not working then probably your device battery is empty. You will need to charge it bro. And this might be a big problem unless you have got one more arc/arc s.

Sounds like the chargemon has been corupted of wiped! That could explain the charging issue. Try vol down & plug in usb for flash mode(green led if good) connect to pc companion and repair phone, or flashtool and the rom of your choice. If not it may be a jtag job im afraid n thats pricey!!!

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.

first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S
so i tried to power it off without seeing by holding the power key the power option pop up and touching random parts of the screen but i failed
i even waited for the battery to empty and factory reset the phone with no use
is these is any way even by adb to power off my phone
plzzz help
thx again for replaying

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader

As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.

Wait wait wait, I think you've mistaken the bootloader with bootanimation.
Bootanimation is self explained, it's an animation, played during the booting process.
Bootloader is what boots your OS.
And I don't think you can change your Bootloader.. only unlock it.
Moreover, root does not give you a recovery, you need as of now, an unlocked bootloader to get a recovery.
I think you should give it some time (1-3min?) to confirm that the phone isn't in a state of bootloop, if it is in that state, reflash stock ROM with flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
and get this file to flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779412

Bootloop problem

Hello,
I have a problem; I recently tried to root my device running on Android 6.0 sense 7. I unlocked the bootloader and installed Twrp recovery and then flashed SuperSU zip, after that I wiped the cache and rebooted, but now it's stuck in a boot loop, I can't do anything, also I can't adb into the device. It is stuck on the HTC logo with powered by android below it. My pc recognizes the device I think because it makes the sound but when I try 'adb devices' it says list of devices attached and nothing. also fastboot can't seem to find the device. What do I do?

Have you tried restoring a backup or flashing a custom rom?

Hold volume up and power button to restart phone from any hang keep holding the buttons for 5 seconds. Or use volume down + power button and same hold for 5 seconds to go to fastboot

I also had the same issue but what I did is, I let my device to drain the battery, and then I press the Volume Down + Power and plugin the charger and it gets me to Bootloader ^_^ I don't know what your bootloader combination is but just press them before putting the charger. And oh, DO NOT REMOVE THE CHARGER UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED FLASHING THE boot.img of your ROM.

it's fixed, flashed stock rom and recovery. Thanks guys

I also have the same problem. Can you provide a link to stock rom and recovery PLEASE. Thanks!!

[Solved]Unable to get in Flashmod(Green LED) when using Sony FlashTool

My Sony Xperia Z5 Premium now is running 3rd part ROM. Unfortunately it looks like some problem because battery is dropping so fast without gaming or video watching. So I decided to use Sony FlashTool recovery stock system. And there is the problem: I already flash the TWRP recovery, I can get into Fastboot mode(BlueLED), but once FlashTool ask for "Press Volume Down button(I know its Hold the button), and plug in cable" it should into FlashMod(GreenLED), but my phone just into TWRP recovery and FlashTool still waiting for Flashmod.
I think solution is using a stock recovery system rather than TWRP. But I just cannot get stock recovery in every where.
Help me plz
And I am sure about I already installed drivers requested.
--------------------
OK, I just solved my problem. That gad damn Volume Down button just broken XD
