note
- fully charged battery

Try this:
http://davinciteam.us/LT15_en_index.html
you can try to reflash with sony ericsson update software, it happened once to me with wotan server and i reflashed with sony ericsson update software...
you can download it from SE website
Worked fine for me today to debrand my Arc.
Try SEUS or FlashTool (maybe it works for you, had to reflash my Arc today when I used it first to try debranding my Arc)

Anyone over Xperia Arc or Arc S
Have their device unlockedbootloader and lockedbootloader?
Do comment below and if unlocked : why do you unlocked ?
Thanks
I have an arc i unlocked it .
Since the day i buyed it.
Unlocked BL is needed for full.system customization.
I think everyone should unlock there BL. & dont worry for OTA update & bricking or warranty gone.
any mishap .!"
just flash FTF again via flashtool. To get phones life back.
Simple as that.

I've got an arc with an unlocked bootloader.
Initially, I kept putting off the decision to unlock it because I didn't want to lose the DRM keys but I got it done by the Test-point method via Omnius, when they had an Easter offer (FREE). Who can turn down such a great offer? LOL!
I did it because it allows me to flash kernels and ROMs as and when required. My main inclination was the flashing kernel bit. Plus rooting becomes a cakewalk.

Test Point method can't be updated via SEUS?
and it cant be relocked right?
I was thinking unlocking via test point or flashtool ?
which do it better?
I haven't really tried updating via SEUS after that because I didn't want to risk bricking it.
It can be relocked. Blagus supplied the file you need to flash with Flashtool already. But then again, there's no real point in locking it.
Well, the main reason I went with the test point method is because I didn't want to lose my DRM files, which in turn would affect TrackID. But the latest version of TrackID which is available on the market works even with an unlocked bootloader so there's nothing to worry. You can unlock it via the official Sony route.
Unless your bootloader unlock status says no, there's no need to go for the test-point method.
And FYI, Flashtool won't unlock your phone. It's great for flashing ROMs, kernels etc.
How to know whether the bootloader is unlocked?
i using testpoint but not really sure it unlocked
Try hotbooting/flashing a kernel.

THANKS
I just noted that the fix is * 0.8.6.0
- Added Xperia U, P, Sola, Ion to BL Unlock plugin.
* 0.8.5.0
- Fixed issue with turkish regional settings (and maybe others we don't know)
No more need to change regional settings to see FTF content.
* 0.8.4.0
- Repaired TA Backup / Restore / Editor (broken by 0.8.3)
* 0.8.3 :
- Fixed an issue in firmware selector. When partition categorie or TA categorie are excluded from
selection, it was not excluded from flashing.
- Elf Extractor now identifies the program type included into kernel (Image, ramdisk or rpm)
* 0.8.2.0 :
- Fixed an issue where fastboot mode is not handled correctly under linux.
* 0.8.1.0 :
- Fixed an issue where loader is not found when using BL Unlock or TA Backup/Restore/Editor
- Progressbar when flashing was not showing right progress.

All..anyhow everything already done..i am on 4.0.4 Still lockedbootloader
Thanks to all who help and tips me
Why don't you go the official Sony route to unlock your bootloader?
Thank members on their post which helped you. It's always a good idea. There's a dedicated button, if you didn't notice.

A friend of mine brought an xperia phone to me, I decided to help him upgrade it. The label behind has lt18i written on it, so I used the ftf for lt18i with flash tool to upgrade it. It all went well, but phone has refused to go pass the xperia boot screen, I even downgraded back to gb and it won't go pass the Sony Ericsson screen. I just saw something strange on the phone, it has an external antena between the usb port and volume control buttons. Is this the xperia arc s? And what firmware should i use to flash it

Thanks for replying. I identified it myself. Phone is so-02c also know as the xperia acro for ntt docomo. I flashed with the firmware for so-02c and it works.
I have an Xperia Arc (not S) with an unlockable bootloader. It's firmware is lt15A and it's running Android 2.3.4. I checked for updates and none are avaialable. It's Rogers branded. Can anything be done to it?

try update via sony pc software. AFAIK ICS needs to be installed over pc companion from sony. in rare cases even then tells u that no update avaiable... than:
root it & flash stock ics. ftf via flashtool
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389
I got a lt18i "unlock bootloader allowed: no" android 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62).
All i want is to have android 4 (or above) as long as it runs.
Can i get ICS, or any version 4.x or above,without unlock?
I read i can flash stock based roms those include android 4 or only 2.3 like i got now?
I also tried to update on PC companion but it doesn't eve detect my phone. My pc (win10) does detect it as "Xperia arc S" so all good there...
Idk what to try next :/
Any tips or direction are welcome, thx in advance!
Yeah, flash .587 firmware with Flashtool. That's it.
