Downgrade Problem

Since I want to root my phone and I´m on .69 I´ll have to downgrade to .42 to obtain root and do OTA update to .69. Anyway, downloded tools (flashtool 0.7.1.0, .42ftf file generic, superoneclick) and installed them. Installed the right drivers etc..
Bootloader unlock allowed yes
->bootloader closed, don´t need unlock for this right?
Problem:
1) When selecting ftf file i have no options to click(wipe cache, wipe userdata are not existent) Anyone else experiences this?
2)When going into flash mode(back button pressed and USB cable plugged in) flashtool doesn´t flash the ftf file. Instead it gives me this error

[Q] Complete restore?//SOLVED

Is there a way to completely restore my arc s to the state when i bought it? Because i have bricked my phone.
I had .587 with 4.0.4. Rooted it fine, got superuser. Installed CWM and busybox. Downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697167 and installed few tweaks. Then I tried installing supercharger. I had to upload my service.jar on this website and then download it back and move it to system/frameworks. I did that, and after rebooting all hell broke loose. In the lockscreen I get "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" and few other errors too. So I booted CWM recovery and tried to restore, no restore found. Then i formated everything. That didn't help. So I browsed xda forums and found this darkside super wipe. Installed that in CWM recovery mode. Now my phone wont even start. Phone freezes on SONY screen. I tried flashing something and it works, but still booting freezes on sony screen. So do I need to flash something or do I just throw my phone away?

You are installing kernel only.
You need full FTF file, not just the kernel.
Search better. Or check my signature for example.

Unhappy [Q] Flash tool error
Hi seen this before flashtool is saying you need the loader_unlocked.sin file you need to google it download it and place in flashtool/devices/mk16 folder in windows.Then flash again

Its somewhat a common problem with a flashtool. Do as tallman43 said and if this wont help then try to install an older version.

Easy one. Had the same issue. A littlr search in xda helepd me out
Open yor flachtool install folder.
Go to devices folder
Find R800 folder
Copy the unlocked_loader inside, to your MK16 folder.
Enjoy.
Ps. This worked for my arc. Try at ya own risk, but it should work
Sent from my LT15i using birds.

i had this proplem before
I had this problem before in my arc s all I do is go to C>>flashtool>>Firmwares and delete the ftf file I want to flash then go back and but it in the firmware folder and try it ll flash :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Stuck at kernel picture when booting.

Hello everyone, I'll add some background so you can help me better.
I had a Xperia play like a year ago. It was the first device i rooted so it took several days for me to root and to install gin2kitkat ROM on it. I couldn't install a new kernel becouse before i managed to do so i dropped the phone to the floor and it got severe damaged and i lost interest.
Recently i've decided im gonna put some effort into it and ill repair the screen protector and the buttoms that broke.
So, i had a rooted device with gin2kitkat ROM with original kernel and closed bootloader. I did the bootloader thing with a tutorial i found here and i flashed the Extreme kernel using flashtools via fastboot. So i started my phone but it was in a bootloop when Extreme picture showed up and i wasnt able to make it work. I tried more kernels like Lupus and other kernels i found on this site. It happens the same with every kernel. It wont boot any further than the kernels logo. Ive tried flashing another kernel via flashmode in flashtools and i got this error:

I've tried entering the recovery mode with all the kernels ive tried pressing vol - during boot but it wont work. Also in extreme kernel and some others i got this error while booting. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6p7u6c&s=8
Yes, the device is destroyed, if i can make it work ill repair it.
THanks
