Hi
i wanted to have ics in xperia play, i tried to install ics-beta without unlocking bootloader.
It got stuck in installing userdata.img
now its not booting up, i have tried installing ftf using flashtool, it detects phone but stuck at 16 % in flashmode
after somedays, now its showing blinking red light , not even allow to enter in flashmode or fastboot mode
please help for solving this , i hope u solve my problem
thanks ya in advance
Blinking red lght?? Mybe ur bttry is awfully low. U should hav at least 50% to do any kind of flashing.
Mybe u should find anthr batt or get ur batt chrge n try re-entering flashmode n flash anther .ftf.. That should get ur phne back to life.

Try flashing 2.3.3 then updating from there
I've had an issue with certain ftf stock ROMs in the past.
Occasionally it can be flash mode switching itself off. Try taking the battery out, selecting the 2.3.4 ftf to flash, then when it asks you to connect the phone, hold the back button and connect the battery but keep the back button pressed. Its a long shot but it might work.
Also, if you can still boot your phone up, switch it to MTP mode instead of Mass Storage (USB settings) as that can affect flashtool sometimes.
If neither of those 2 ideas work, then try 2.3.3 and update
Hope Ive helped
changing build num

Hello,
I'm using Arconium rom when i tryed to install the CM9 to test, well i just flashed with fastboot the new img from FX and install the rom. The instalation started but returned an error that i don't remember something about lt8i (my phone is lt5i).
I go to flashtool and tryed to get back to stock rom, but without sucess, now my phone show the Sony Ericsson logo and later it stay black.
Thinking i can fix this i relock the bootloader with flashtool files (found on Xperia Arc forum) and still not fix. Now i cannot unlock the bootloader "oem failed" and the phone doesnt start.
Please someone can help-me with a tutorial or something else ?
Take battery out, connect it to pc, press the back button and now plug in the battery again and see if it connects in flashmode then.

I am new at all this stuff but i think I'm starting to somehow get a hang of it. I rooted my phone this week running .587 by downgrading the kernel etc, you know. Today I wanted to try another rom so I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955248 To install Xperia Ultimate HD on my phone with a locked bootloader.
However during step 8 CWM shut down and started to boot. But it doesn't start and I'm unable to get back into CWM My computer won't recognise the phone so I can't flash the kernel or do a complete reset using SUS. What do I do? is it save:able?
Been doing flashtool ftf recoveries whenever this occured. Do not power on arc s with it stuck. let flashtool self boot to flash mode and you will be back in buisness again.

if you could tell me what to do a bit more precise I'd really love you! like a small guide
I assumed you have flashtool since you mention about kernel downgrade. if no get it installed
the step actually same as flashing the kernel with phone power off.

ok first since ur stuck flash back to stock using flash tools n then follow the procedure.. i had a similar problem n i fixed it.. it was a very simple prob.. for installing these custom roms u ve to format system/ , so if ur using the cwm app by pvyparts ul loose the cwm after wiping it.. all u ve to do is after flashing the custom rom ul ve to install CWM back (use cwm version 5 available in the thread by pvyparts.. not the latest one..)
here's the thread for CWM
n post back if it works..
Thanks guys, really appreciate it, will try these methods out.
Still won't work
I tried doing all the different things you said but the phone won't boot holding in the back button and inserting the datacable. The light on the side turns green but nothing else happens.

Mate, press the back button while you connect to PC and flashtool will show "device connected in flashmode" than select a firmware to FLASH and FLASH it. After the process is done disconnect and power it on... =)

Yeah, that I know and that's what I'm doing. When I hold down the back key and connect to the pc all that happens is that the green led lights up. Flashtool won't recognise it and it still says that I should hold down the back key and then connect to the PC...

I was also stuck at Sony logo and it reboots every time just after sony logo. Then i used flashtool, flashed using "LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf".....
Now it boot further, but only to XPERIA logo, and then reboots....but certain times i have seen it getting past the logo, like it shows a display asking for pc companion, even the taskbar too with time and blutooth icon on it....but all of a sudden it reboots. i have tried rebooting more than a 100 times, while taking out battery everytime.
Also, I'm not able to get into recovery mode. I tried this using the combination of power on, and when sony logo appears, pressing and releasing volume down repeatedly. I hope i'm doing right.
So what should I do?? am not able to use this phone for a week...
Please help me out.
Ok got it working. I just unlocked the boot loader from sony bootloader site(sorry couldn't post the link, because of low post count)
So, it booted up but show error as soon as put a sim, that "Unfortunately keypad has stopped working".
I figured out the culprit, it is the build version with i flash it. I reflashed it with LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel.ftf, now it working fine like a charm.
So much relief...!!
Hope this may help someone too...so i shared!!!
ok,i think i killed my phone
i have r800i and,flashed xdark ics with doom kernel.rom was solid but i had battery draining so,i decide to reflash stock rom using flash tool(freflshed from differnet rom 2 days ago),and got some error :ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";
after that my phone doesnt boot.it shows triangle,phone and exclamation mark
im on win 7on pc,i have latest flashtool(reinstalated several times)
tried to reinstall all drivers,tried to repair with pc companion.
flashtool reckognise fastboot,and i can flash different kernels(doomlord or any stock kernel when i extract it form ftf file),but i cant get to cwm or reflash ftf file using flashmode.same error keep poping up.i also cant flash system via fastboot.
any sugestions?
also when i connect phone in flashmode my pc see him as usb mass storrage device(in control panel)
Try this supposed to work on play not guaranteed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598160 :fingers-crossed:
ok i connected phone and s1 tool have only 3 buttons : do job,stop and quit?no restore button.
also s1 tool see my phone as r800x not r800i,i supose it messed up when i flashed xdark ics rom
i m just curious what the "cause" of this? now i m very afraid flashing my phone
if not mistaken there's special case with xperia x10 prototype,if you have this thing you will get sin head error everytime you flash is there any connection?
i tried with older version of flashtool (0,5,3,0)and it see that is not checked usb debbuging and unknown sources.but i cant turn on my phone to check those boxes,is there any way to bypass this?

sony boot you say, then you were at stock kernel. Look for a JB kernel like LuPuS, nAa, etc and flash it via Flashtool. Then boot to recovery, either by back button or volume down button depending on the kernel then wipe all, flash respective rom, flash gapps then modules.
thanks for fast answers!!!
haha it cant be less stresfull cause it`s not my phone i googled but when i connect flashtool it wont recognize device either :/ ?
edit....
YEEEEEEY i made it ^_^ after 123091230 errors and windows security s%*( windows recognized phone...and through flashtool i installed LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.World.1254-2184.ftf
I`m gonna install now a update with sony pc companion and i`m not gonna touch further? maybe only if you have some tips to suscces cause i couldnt...

nevermind sony pc companion if you want a custom JB rom.
First check if your bootloader is unlocked by entering in dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then navigate to System Info>Configuration then check if Bootloader Unlocked:yes, if it says allowed:no, you have to bring it to sony and pay for it to be unlocked,. Or unlock it with testpoint method, which I think is delicate.
Make sure ADB is on.
click the link below then choose the respective kernel for your ROM:
Kernels
choose if it is 4.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2 or what is based by your chosen ROM.
Turn off phone>hold the menu button(back button, home button, menu button) then connect it to pc
Open flashtool>click the thunder>Fastboot mode>Select kernel to Flash then navigate to the file.

What model xperia do you have?
What did you do to your phone? Did you try and flash a boot.img or something.
Need more detail to help fix.
Maybe power off your phone. Hold down vol- as you plug USB cord and maybe PC companion will then see you phone
Or maybe
Download the phones firmware as a .ftf file
Flash firmware with flash tool.

You said you unlocked the bootloader. Did you replace the boot.img? If so have you been able to get into recovery by holding VOL + while phone starts?
What video did you watch on YouTube and how far did you get?
Unlocked bootloader
Replacing boot.IMG (OK installed recovery)
Enter recovery and flashed ROM.
Have you tried turning your phone off. Open up PC companion. Then connect up your phone while holding VOL - down?
