hello , dude the thread is actually really old but since u asked and i had the same problem on my arc s before,
i thought i'll better answer.
so what I did , (considering updating Flashtool and changing cables) i figured that only my true original USB cable from the Sony , can work with the Flashtool and ADB i don't know why but if u have an original try trying with that.
hope it works

Hello,
my XPERIA Play is broken and I don't knwo how to fix it.
I've first unlocked the bootloader and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it.
But the vibration doesn't have any function and so i flashed with flashtool the stock firmware witch I found in this forum. After that I've started OTA Updater and my phone shutted down. Now it won't start anymore, it vibrates shortly and if you hold the power button longer, it vibrates in dinstances.
When I connect the XPERIA with my computer (Windows 7) the green lights shining and my pc says that it's in flash mode. I can't change to Fastboot Mode.
I've flashed more than once firmwares on the phone, everything I've done couldn't fixe it..
Can anybody help me?

Well you can't get OTA updates when your bootloader is unlocked.Unfortunately I can't help much about the problems with the flash mode since I've never encountered such a problem.So sorry about that.
EDIT:When you try to update Via OTA your phone would surely get bricked because once your bootloader's unlocked SE doesn't consider your phone as warranted and certificates within the phone gets wiped because that would enable flashing 3rd party firmwares and kernels.
Sorry if I'm making this complicated.

I've relocked the bootloader, that wasn't the problem.
I could fix it with flashtool, I only had to flash the bootloader form the developer section and now everything works fine. I can also update with SEUS again (tested from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5)

Oh my mistake, I mean 2.3.4
First of all, hope I posted in the right section as I could find a separate Xperia SL forum.
I got a rooted Xperia SL with
Android 4.0.4
version 6.1.A.2.45
I tried to update it to 6.1.a.2.55 (which I guess is JB) using PC companion. The phone turns off, then the PC Companion says to remove da USB cable and reconnect it while holding the volume down button. I tried this a several times but nothing happens. Instead the phone shows the charging battery icon which is shows when it's charging while switched off. And I see a notification on my PC saying USB device not recognized (only when I connect the phone holding the volume down button and it's switched off. It is recognized when I connect it while switched on.)
I'm a noob in android, hope someone would help me out with this.
That's ics, not jb

The best way is to find .55 ROM TFT and flash via FlashTool.
It is known that the jellybean is yet to make an appearance in any part of the world,so I suggest u can wait for the update to have a global reach or unlock your bl and flash the leaked version

I would really suggest you to wait a week or two more and Get the Jelly Bean Update for Your phone.
In any case you will be upgrading to JB after it releases in a week or two.
And for Your Problem,
You can use PC Companion only when two condionts are met.
1. Your device is Not Rooted ( If it is Rooted You Need to Unroot it Back To Use PCC)
2. You need a Locked Bootloader.
Otherwise PCC will not Work!
A word of warning :
PCC May reverse back the changes of flash or prevent from brick.
But OTA updates will brick the phone for sure. If and All you try to Update in rooted and bootloader unlocked conditions.
The best alternative to flash any rom will be using FLASHTOOL by androxyde
http://androxyde.github.io/
Have you tried using SUS instead of PCC..i prefer using SUS over PCC when updating..

i was currently rooted , locked bootloader , on a stock deodexed ROM. Everything was fine until this morning I flashed a .zip file with CWM Recovery that wasn't for my device. I rebooted (still didn't know about my mistake) then, I couldn't power on the flash , the off button on the phone's back doesn't work neither , fastboot or flash mode neither. No vibration , no LED , NOTHING. It was nearly 100% when this happened so I don't think it's a battery issue.. Please help ((!
use pc companion to reinstalling fw. may be a good choice.
it works for me.

With what did you try to upgrade and how? It seems your update has gone wrong, as you state, it got terminated in the middle? Probably if you connect through fastboot, or flashtool for windows, you can put in a new kernel and the rom. It seems your phones kernel is broken too. It should be fine once you install a new kernel and rom.
For how to do that please look at one of the tutorials here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
Hope it'll work out for you.

actually your have to first select the rom in flash tool then "wait" for tool to prepare files then the tool will prompt then connect your phone
My ZL has been acting weird lately, powering off on its own, and requiring a power source to boot back up.
I tried connecting to flashtool last night, and it works, but the green led that supposed to light up, just quickly blinks on then off, and stays off.
Yet flashtool is still telling me my device is connected in flashmode..... weird.
I was too scared to try and flash an FTF because i have a feeling the phone will just randomly power off.

My LED does the same, just blinks on and off when connecting to flashtool.
When I connect in flashmode and wait for a minute or so, the phone boots automatically.
But it always behaved like this since I bought the phone .
Flashing works like it should and it always worked. I think it's normal.
okay, ive got another problem. Im trying to unlock my bootloader via flashtool, and after connecting my phone with the volume down button pressed, it does nothing, just asks me to re connect my phone. Any idea whats wrong?

I should mention that I'm trying to unlock my bootloader while in existenz v4 ROM. Does this make any difference? Or should i flash a .67 ftf and unlock my bootloader.
