Rebooting fixed that problem for me.

Use Flashtool to flash back to stock. Recovery is in the system, so if you wiped it, you won't be able to access recovery. Going back to stock, then back to whatever rom you were on is pretty much your only option.
And by only option, I mean the going back to stock. You can use Wotan Server or whatever other method there is.
yes i can get in recovery
and ill try that ----------------^

Recovery isn't in the system partition unless you're using the locked bootloader version. His is part of the kernel.
If you completely wiped system though you'll either need to restore a nandroid, or flash a new system.

The FTF files you need are in a thread in my signature.
anyone have links to 0.6.9.0? or
links to a different custom flashtool for xperia play?

i have just unlocked the device bootloader and it works, but the wired thing is that i cant make the device appear on the computer from the usb connection.
what can i do?
More details wouldn't go a miss.
i cant understand why it happend, and i couldnt reach the sdcard without the phone (no SD available) so i used an old phone with the same connection as the arc and reached the sd card threw him to put the files for cm7 flashing.
another questions if anyone will know - what are the pros and the cons of CM7 vs SE stock rom?
Hi!
I haved the same issue. I think we deleted some system app.
I suggest to flash the stock ftf with flashtool first. And WIPE USER DATA.
After then, the CM7 boot.img and the rom once more. And WIPE USER DATA.
This way is solved the problem to me.
bukest
ps.: of course, you will lose all your data. but I only found this way to solved that problem.
damn it! huge problem!
i tried to flash the lt18i ftf file from the CM7 thread and i got stuck on the SE boot screen, boot loop.
so i tried to flash again the kernal and install the updated files from the sd and it makes the phone stuck on the free xperia project logo.
what to do?

Bro, you doing the same things like me, lol. DD
1. Flash lt18i ftf.
2. Flash Doomlord .42 (v13) kernel.
Now, you have .42 with root. If you like it, jump to 6.
If you don't like it:
3. Flash cm7 boot.img
4. Update CM7 from CWM
5. Update Gapps from CWM
Now you have CM7.1 (FXP45)
6. Enjoy.
i did 3-5 (im sure the first two are not necessary) and its still stuck on the free xperia project logo

Okay. The first 2 solved the problem for me. I'm still on .42(LT18i) with Doomlord v13 kernel. Try to take this to have a working phone first.
But if you found another way, don't hesitate to share the results.
Best regards,
bukest
yea i tried and its working.(no bootloop)
thank you
btw - feels alot more faster! i have to test it XD

How come you have CRT installed if you don't have CWM? Try booting with 'BACK' button held.
And reflashing doesn't help. You must wipe data.

i copied the .lib to system, that makes the crt work. how can i do this? but when i did it rebooted and now i'm in boot loop. no recovery image installed no nothing, what can I do, ca you guide me? please
please can someone give me a solution,i'm a bit messed up, and i don't know how to solve it, i'm a bit noob
So you're bootloader is unlocked, huh? Then flash DooMKernel(or whatever you want). Flashing a kernel should install you a recovery.
Hope it helps.

actually my bootloader is Locked
Since your bootloader is locked (lol...plz read ArmorD) all you can do is repair with SEUS or PC compagnon.
If they won't work you can try wotanserver (it's a service where you have to register and pay for several things, but flashing stock SE firmware is free).
Instructions for all these programs are in the forums.
Unfortunately you will loose all your data and settings, but don't panic....stuff stored on your SD will remain in tact.
Good luck, don't worry to much, a bootloop doesn't have to result in a brick
Whoops, I read 'unlocked'

Thanks a lot for the super response. I'm a stupid not installing cwm recovery before and not having to reflash my rom now, it's a pitty that I'll loose my data, o had some important stuff, but no matter it's like a lesson to backup all . I freaked out when I saw the bootloop, thanks for calming me down
no prob...you're welcome!
Everyone in these forums has been where you are now, i've had many bootloops and even more freak outs
Hi, i recently upgraded my xperia arc lt15i to the new ics software, all went well and everything working fine so i decided to root the phone which i managed to do with no problems. Being the tinkerer that i am i decided to move some files from my phone memory to sd card. Bad idea! My phone locked up and is now stuck in boot loop. I tried to flash the ics firmware but cannot do it because i need to turn on usb debugging which obviously i can't do. Is there anyway i can resolve this? The annoying thing is that i can see the files i moved on my sd card when plugged into my laptop if only i could transfer them back to phone memory all would be good. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Phil
Use aroma file manager from the android dev forums. It'll let you move files in recovery.

Thanks but i can't seem to find the aroma downlaod anywhere and how do i start my phone into recovery?
Cheers

Aroma File manager can be found in the Android themes and apps section (not in Arc themes and apps) i think so..
To boot into recovery press the volume down button while Sony Ericsson logo (name) is shown
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Ok, so i've found the aroma file and copied it to sd card. Now I can't seem to get my phone into recovery mode. Also how will i know my phone is in recovery???
You'll need a kernel that has cwm to get into recovery...
So flash a new kernel on and then press volume down on boot screen to get into recovery. Though this means you'll have to unlock your boot loader
I tried flashing new software to my phone but it wouldn't have it because usb debugging can't be turned on, will i have the same problem trying to flash a kernal?
Cheers
How do i flash a kernal with cwm to my phone, do i need to have fastboot on my computer? I fear i am getting out of my depth! i need an idiots guide!!
Flashing a kernel doesn't deal with usb debugging and all.. First of all, tell me whether your bootloader is unlocked or not! Then I'll explain in steps!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Neither u need usb debugging to flash a new firmware or to upgrade the current rom..
for flashing purposes only fastboot or flashmode are required..
download the ics firmware ftf file and flash it via flashtool..
At Gire.prasad, I haven't unlocked the boot loader so i asume it is locked.
At now.i.feel. I tried flashing ics firmware again via flash tool but it wouldn't do it, it came up with an error saying it can't connect to my phone.
Thanks
Yes Yes Yes, my phone is back in action. I just flash ics firmware using flashtool again and it worked fine. i tried this the other day and it didn't work so something i downloaded from all of the posts must of helped.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou
It has been a learning curve and i have learnt my lesson. Not to dive in too deep too fast!!!
Thanks to you all again for your in put.

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck
the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!
Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....
same problem here
To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.
Good morning,
Yesterday, I tried to unlock and root my friend's Xperia Arc (LT15i). Although it was running FW .62, I did manage to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I installed CWM, emptied the phone (I thought) and installed the Xperia Ultimate HD ROM.
Unfortunately, I think I forgot a detail. I wiped data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik, but after the installation of the ROM completed succesfully, rebooting the phone keeps it hanging at the Sony Ericsson logo. It seems to be hanging right at that moment, because the problem is that when I then press the Vol.Down button, I'm not getting back into CWM.
I tried to use the "Unbrick" option to flash an original .ftf file via Flashtool, but then I get the "Error in processHeader: 1 Incorrect function".
Can anybody give me a clue on how to:
a) get into CWM
or
b) restore the phone so I can try again
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: is there a way to get in the bootloader and go to CWM from there? It all seems to be so much more difficult then on my own Nexus S

FW .62 is gingerbread ROM and UHD is ICS ROM.I think you forgot to install ICS kernel. Use the suggested lupus kernel for UHD or any other ICS kernel in Fastboot mod or using flash tool then you can boot into ICS.

Oh crap, I didn't even think about that I figured it would be implemented in the ROM. Thanks a lot, I'll try that right away when I get home! :good:

Flashing ROM doesn't flash kernel.You need to flash kernel if you are flashing different version of ROM like Gb,ICS,JB. Flash kernel,then go to CWM and flash ROM zip.
