Ups....messed up users.
But if bootloader is OPEN/UNLOCKED. Then use flashtool in development section..
This will do this job fine.
If bootloader is LOCKED/CLOSED, then use official update method..if 1st flash unsucsess...then reflash agent.
Error you getting if drivers or Java is not correctly installed.

Hello i think you need 4 this >>> <toto> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
i am planning on getting rid of my W8 & buying a Arc S....but i am a bit stumped by a couple of things. i like modding my phones....my W8 was pretty modded out...i didnt unlock the bootloader & ran stock kernel but i could still flash custom roms. can i still do that with the arc s? i mean do i have to unlock bootloader in order to install any custom roms?? & are the steps to rooting an arc the same as rooting an arc s?? any help would be appreciated....
arc S can be rooted with zergrush method very easy...
on locked booltoader so far can instal only 2 custom rom based on stock firmware...
also theme, mods can be instaled with CWM on locked BL..
Which two roms are you talking about? Can I flash even with cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 nAa r2? (the one with thd auto_installer in themes and apps category) thanks for you attention!

Hi guys
i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want
basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question
the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side
the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning
Model: LT18i
Version:2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..
if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.
Then you can start messing around.

Can you tell me from where i can download that because i had found this which is mentioning that is working for my version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
please also explain if i can use the back up to reflash my phone in its original state at any time i wish and how through the phone or by any third party application like Odin i.e. and where can i locate the back up file inside the phone or SD memory
i am owner of S2 and i am doing pretty well but with Arc s i am just noob
yea...i did the same too....rooted it installed CWM & backed up my rom & tried to flash a custom rom that didnt require bootloader unlocking or custom kernel.....i managed to do sumthng do the phone...it got stuck at the se logo...it wudnt even go to CWM....later the guys here advised me to use flashtool to reflash a stock firmware...& i did & with my fingers crossed...did so & got my arc s back alive.....after this episode...i lost the nerve to flash custom roms in my arc s......& i have been flashing custom roms in my w8 & this never happened.....this shows that the arc s development area is still not ironclad yet
btw...i do have a question.....i am a bit confused by the system info from antutu benchmark....the original stated RAM for the arc s is 512MB. but in antutu benchmark shows total RAM as 335MB.....i dont get it.....can anyone else confirm this??
i have been trying to fix my play for two days now and have tried everything i can think of
i have a R800i, on 62. firmware, i have tried flashing the stock FTF firmware, tried flashing the "TA brick fix uppdate" tried using wotan client too but no joy
i can still use flashtool and can still enter fastboot but when i turn on my play it just vibrates for a second and then nothing
Get Sony Ericsson Update Service and use that to repair the software; it always works for me no matter what - it can take around 20 retries though -_-... Try removing the battery for 30 seconds after around 10 retries - I have no idea why this helps but it has in the past...
im getting "phone contains modified software that cannot be updated"
is this normal or am i still fuked?
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as it is right now i cant even return it to sony because they will no straight away that i modified the firmware

something is not right, i installed stock using wotanclient, then i tried using SEUS but i still get "the phone contains modified firmware"
im getting no errors using flashtool or wotanclient but apparently the firmware is not being flashed
i had the same problem when i bricked my play all i did was flash generic stock rom on it and took out the sd card and have no problemhttp://www.xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/233-se-stock-firmware-for-root.html

tried it, still didnt work, is there a recovery method using fastboot that i could try? im unsure whether flashtool is actually working....
i managed to relock the bootloader which meant SEUS finally allowed me to install the firmware which was successful but the screen is still completely black, tried flashtool and wotanclient afterwards, both installed successfully but the screen is still black, i think the phone is working but the screen it self has died somehow
i was wondering, since the bootloader is relocked and the official stock firmware has been installed, should sony accept the faulty play without issue?
its possible if u run the update service and if it says phone is up to date one would think so ... i would ask a question and see what others say im still new to this site but yet i have learned alot make sure u update ur flashing tool too and make sure its properly flashed and when flashing is completed it should say flash complete.
Hey guys,
So i have been rounding the forum for weeks and i still cant manage to install MIUI on my xperia the thing is its has lockedbootloader and i have no ideia how to root it and CWM on it.
I have found some threads but most of them with broken english and i just dont get it.
I want to change my rom badly since i find xperia stock rom horrid.
Big hug
Here are the steps to rooting your phone and installing CWM
1. Download Flashtool and flash a rootable arc or arc s rom (if you're using arc s, here's one). You can usethis tutorial to help
2. Download and extract this
3. Put your phone on debugging mode and connect it to your computer
4. Run the 'runme.bat' from the extracted folder
5. Download x-Parts from google play and it'll install CWM on your phone.
Done! :highfive:
Thanks alot! i still cant find a rootable arc rom i'm using the normal one arc LT15-i
Okays that's fine. Flash a normal arc Lt15i rom, and then flash this, and then root it, and then flash this
You should be fine now
I guess thats no problem flashing with lt18i kernel?
(sorry for my ignorance noob here)
Ok so now the thing is i encountered a lt15i root ready rom i began flashing and it gets stuck at 14%

your best option is PC Companion 2.1, go to support zone, then repair my phone, let it download the contents ( 10 -15 min) then choose your phone- then it will prompt to connect your phone (only connect at this stage - it will fix it this way

That's seem very strange alright. Did you get the error after you connected and selected the xperia play from the list - did it even start the download. It has options for a few different play models. Try with the other play models
