Flashtool for xperia arc lt15i 2.3.4 .62

I notice that the flashtool 0.9.0.0-windows.exe is not working. Is there any other one that I could use to flash .42?

I suggest you .58 enhanced v2 over .62 bcoz it gives 420 mb data partition and easily rootable if you want to keep root.

Reboot your xperia play when plugged into your pc. Hold the search button key while its booting up.

There are a few things you must do
1. You must install flashmode and fastboot drivers
2.you must select xperia play as current device
3. Reboot into fastboot via ADB
4. Once booted into fastboot mode, click on select kernel to flash.

I know it's a pain to do but have you tried returning to stock and starting all over again?I take that flashmode works?That's what I would do if it happened on my phone:good:
EDIT Try disable antivirus

The real question is: have you run flashtool or the command line in "administrator mode"?

Update your version of flashtool uninstall the drivers from device manager. Reinstall never androxide flastool reinstall drivers make sure debugging is enabled. Then you should he good to go. If it don't work that means you need a new micro USB cable..
Problem solved next.

if that dont work try another cable!

Also make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 has lots of problems with flashing

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader

Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

[Q] [QUESTION] Strangest thing happened on my Xperia S LT26i

So i used the method from DooMLord to root my LT26i.
In that method i had to flash my .96 kernel back to .211 root it and then flash it back to .96
But when i tried to flash it to .211 I rebooted my Xperia S i checked the build and it was still .96. The strange thing is that it told me about a new update. The .96 one, but I already have it so it mindf's me. It says that I can only install it through the PC. So i tried and it says that the Sony servers are down ATM. Does anybody know what's happening?
EDIT: The servers aren't down I can install the update but i still don't get the reason why it's telling me that there's an update for a build that I already have.

oh right
check if your drivers are installed
also check if you have a correct ftf installed
maybe updating flashtool may help
i had this issue with a older version of flashtool

Yes, i followed a tutorial on how to install my flashtool drivers, because it wasn't installing. Now that i installed them it still doesn't work. I have the correct ftf. I downloaded it from his post. And i have the latest flashtool(0.9.13.0). Any suggestions?

to root right
it only flashes the 211 or 200 kernel provided
it wont change your build number
your kernel version will change (if sony changed it between 200/211/96)
soz i misread initialy
