Download a stock rom from the general selection and the latest flashtool from their site.
(make sure that nothing else that uses adb runns, like seus, fastboot etc.)
Try again.

Going back to stock ROM

OK,
after having my Arc bricked and recovered, I had what I thought was a stock 4.0.A.2.368 ROM aboard, but when I connect to PC Companion it says that I have software that cannot be updated.
SEUS gets as far as connecting the phone in flash mode and then it says "checking connected phone" and then it hangs.
How can I get back to a stock ROM that will allow SEUS or PC Companion to do updates?
I am not interested in OTA updates.
I am passing the phone to someone who is not terribly technical and want for them to be able to do the updates via the PC at least.
Cheers,
A
Use the flashtool.

use the latest flashtool and latest stock ROM..!
latest flash tool here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
Thanks guys,
but I thought that by using Flashtool to go back to a stock ROM, 4.0.2.A.0.386, that I'd be able to then use PCP or SEUS to go to the 4.0.2.A.0.42 ROM, but I could not.
SEUS just hangs and PCP says modified software that cannot be updated.
I have used Flashtool to go to the generic .42 ROM now, but what happens when the next official update comes out?
Thanks

lock your bootloader then update
Ah, OK, did not realise that the unlocked bootloader was the problem!
Thanks a million as they they say here!

Sorted! That worked, thanks to all!

Help me rescue my lil bro's Xperia Play

Evening all,
Im posting on behalf of my little brother so go easy on me, My little brother flashed a rom on his xperia play using ROM Manager (i think it was called mark ICS rom) now when he boots his phone it goes into the usual sony Ericsson splash screen for about 20 seconds that splash screen disappears but the screen stays on with no activity at all.
Does anyone know how to rescue his phone?

Have you tried reflashing the stock FTF using the Flashtool?
Pulling the battery, putting the device in flashmode and reflashing the stock FTF should take care of it, hopefully.
did he flash the actual ICS kernel before booting the phone?

That is your problem he never flashed an ICS kernel. Which has to be done in fastboot mode. Use flashtool or
Code:
fastboot flash boot (kernelname).img
You cant boot an ICS ROM with GB kernel...

Hi, you must get flashtool then a FTF file (can be uk, world etc).
Do as flashboot with the FTF file then your brothers phone is fixed
if you want to return the mobile phone to be guaranteed, download the FTF from a previous version 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 and then relock bootloader does it with a FTF.
After that makes the update by sony pc companion to 2.3.4.
And is his bootloader unlocked?

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.

Try flash ftf file via flash tool or Sony software.
Your explanation is very confusing. Please give detail on what have you did i.e. what version of OS you have before flashing existenz rom, do your boot loader locked or unlocked? etc...
Bootloader unlock my phone.
I installed the file Xperia ZL (C6502)_10.1.1.A.1.253_Generic US 1270-7577 R7A.TFT & Xperia ZL C6502_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic US 1270-7584.tft
Use FlashTool
I'm not English
Translate messages using lose
I press the power button
The phone will start for 3 seconds
After the 3 second Turns off
Your mistake is probably flashing the cyanogen kernel.

Wipe everything؟
Do not install ROM eXistenZ for xperia ZL
Ok..first try locked your bootloader...
SEUS will not restore your phone if you Unlocked bootloader....
And if restoring the phone can't solve your problem, it was because you have experiencing a faulty battery...
You need to send to Sony service center for repair...
If you have warranty, first locked your bootloader then restore your phone with SEUS...

For a better support you should tell us which kernel are you using, and which ROM you were using before flashing NeXPLay.
If you just made the mistake of installing NeXPay (ICs ROM) on a GB kernel, then you don't need to reset everything with flashtool.
thanks but i just flashed my verizon rom with flashtool and that seems to get me back...
now which custom firmware/rom is the best for R800x?

Depends on how you use your phone. If you are a gamer then you should try a LuPuS kernel and a Gingerbread ROM but if you don't care about gaming then you can try a ICs ROM and which kernel you prefer.
If you need some in choosing one of the many ICs/GB ROMs, just ask
