Tried to install more rom on my Sony Ericsson Arc S.
But I should have done wrongly and the phone did not turn on again.
Tried Press volume up + home + power and hold........still the same.
Only Red Light flashing.
Any suggestion???
Your battery seems to be drained. Charge it fully and then try to reflash the ROM.
Flas the stock ics.ftf file with flashtool and it will be ok,and recahrge it
Thanks,
But the USB connection seems does not work at all

if nothing works than might have damaged the TA some how
Did you try leaving it alone and charging it?
I took out the battery, sim card and SD card last night.
I will try to recharge it later in today.

My Xperia ion was on the bricked!
When I update AOKP M1r1 Kernel(before i know that has problem in kernel)
it has boot loop
so I pressed Power+Volume up, and then get fastboot mod
I have CM10 rom in memory, so i update CM10 kernel with fastboot
but after i update kernel, and i disconnect usb cable (with no typing "fastboot reboot")
and then, my ion is not reboot, and stuck in Blue LED(but not fastboot mod)
I do everything with button(Power 15s, Power+everybutton 15s etc..)
but notthing happen. I'm in panic OWOWO
I'm waiting for battery drain(before flashing ionbattery is 14%, so hope)
but.. What can i do after drain? it will be going to 0% battery. if it doesn't have hardware battery drain block
damn AOKP kernel...
I have cm10 rom in internel memory
Use Seus to "Update firmware"
it will force install a new firmware and 300mb data android on top of current on, itl replace it, atleast ull have stock again.
sony ericson update service, then update the software itl be sony now,
then update phone, bye.
i see i made some typos...lol
Lots of
i have the same problem
phone is stuck in blue led and doesnt respond not to buttons nether USB cable
what should i do ?
i had 90% battery !! i dont think it will drain soon
the pc (fastboot) sees the device or not? it's stuck on blue light even with cable disconnected?
i think(you've already lost your warranty if you changed kernel, so why not give a try?) you should physically remove the battery before battery drain.
there are planty of videos that show how to do that (il youtube "lt26i remove battery/change battery").
i think that the program that cut off current by pressing vol+power button is freezed as everything else on fastboot mode without responding. but physically removing battery and reboot after that could restart and reset everything.
if there will be no other solutions, i think you should give it a try. for something like 10$ you can get a external charger for the battery, once you have removed it( 14% is very low, maybe some programs will refuse to interact to prevent that the phone will turn off during the operations.)
hope you'll solve it, hope this could help.

My Arc does not boot at all. Pressing the power button does not work,no vibration, LED lights also doesnt indicate that it has low battery.... Please help me...
what rom you were in ???
what you did to land up like this?
Have you tried connecting your phone with pc in flash mode?
Is it recognised?
If so, then you can easily flash (therefore repair) your phone with Flashtool.
What did you do at all? Else we cannot help,

1. select ftf files to flash
2. When indicated to get into flash mode remove battery

4. While holding back button insert battery
good luck.
Hi guys,
I was working on a fix for my rom. I made it, went to CWM and flashed it. Then rebooted and evrything was absolutely fine. Then I rebooted into to wipe cache and dalvik cache and did both successfully. When I rebooted, my phone got stuck at SONY logo. I held the volume up and power button for around 5 sec but the phone did not vibrate once. It did not vibrate at all. Instead the SONY logo slowly disappeared and the phone went to a blank screen( NOT powered off ). Then it automatically powered off. Then I tried flashmode, no luck. Nothing for fastboot too. Trying to power on/soft-reset/hard-reset is of no use. The phone does nothing.
I checked the soft brick thread . It said that hard reset will lock up the phone until the battery dies. But I did not do a hard reset at all.
Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT:- Flashtool says that phone is connected with USB debugging off. Nothing happens when I connect my phone to a wall charger too.
Thanks,

The guide says that after charging for some time, the red led should appear. But my phone had around 80% charge when this incident occured. Anyway, I have kept it for wall-charging now.[NO LED light appears - nothing just blank]
if charging does not help , letting the battery die out might bring the fone out of bootloop

But there is no bootloop! The phone is just blank dead and is not responding to anything.
have u noticed the fone does not respond immediately after starting, even if its charging the led goes blank for a while and then comes back. ur fone might be stuck there

I have kept it for charging since 1/2 an hour now. Still no led. And I have not noticed anything like what you say. Anyway, what should I do then?
one thing for sure, if ur kernel is fine.. its just a soft brick. will take time and patience. best of luck

Have been charging the phone since around 3 hrs now. Still nothing. Should I continue charging it or should I just wait till the battery drains? Also, I think that removing and re-inserting the battery should work but I am scared to do that.
Please help me guys..:crying:

You said you tried hold VolUP+Power... Have you tried VolUP+VolDOWN+Power at the same time? Hold for like 5 sec or more...

SUS is for locked bootloader and anyway that also requires flashmode ( green led ). My phone is absolutely dead. Tried EMMA for unlocked bootloader, but still phone refuses to go into download mode ( green led ).

I had a similar problem. I rebooted my phone after wiping system, and the phone just showed a black blank screen. I just held VolUP+VolDOWN and then held Power too. After, I felt a vibration and released the buttons and the phone rebooted so I could get back to recovery TWRP. There I used adb to solve the problem.
Maybe you should just wait to your phone completly discharge... And then charge again.

You must have actually pressed vol up+power only. One vibration means a soft-reset. Yes, I am waiting for the phone to get completely discharged. Following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33032165&postcount=2
" You need to leave the phone on a charger to see when the battery dies. " That's what I am doing. Thanks for your help.
Has anyone tried this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173363
Also, are there any other tools which can completely rebuild the bootloader and all other partitions?
There is a Qualcomm tool for your device, u tried that?
Sent from my Xperia Sola (XDA for Android)
When i tried to reboot my phone, it do not start. First it shows the "SONY" logo and then a blank screen, not the "XPERIA".
I tried to reset from pc companion but it is not showing the phone as it is turned off. I had not unlocked my bootloader so flashtool will not work.
So, PLEASE HELP ME...
try removing battery then restarting
charge ur phone, then remove battery wait for some time, then try restarting it
Let me correct you there: Flashtool will work even if your bootloader is locked. If it doesn't show the bootanimation, it means that there's something wrong with the kernel. Search for a stock kernel that is appropriate for your device here then flash it through Flashtool. If you want to keep your data, just flash the kernel alone.

I just wiped my phone with TWRP using the "advanced" settings and ticked everything. Obviously not a good idea as I think I have wiped everything including the ROM from my phone. Any idea how to get it going again? It just goes to the "Sony Xperia" screen and stays there when booting. I'm not sure how to get back into TWRP (i used to get there from a utilities app that restarted the phone into recovery). I have TWRP backup on my computer before I did the stupid thing...
Thanks for any help!
I've tried to flash from Emma and and Xperia Companion but I can't enter Flashmode (hold the volume down button and connect to computer). It just automatically turns on and shows the Sony/Xperia screen and the LED is solid RED.
I let it run down over night and still unable to enter Flashmode.
I assume TWRP is still there as it was the program that wiped the phone. Any ideas how I can get into TWRP?
The computer does not recognise the phone either. It was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader before it happened.
Thanks!
Hold power down and press power button. Release power button when phone vibrates but keep holding vol down until you see twrp logo. If you don't see it after maybe 10 seconds. If nothing happens you can try pressing power button and when you see led light keep pressing or holding (try both) vol down. If that doesn't work then you can try flashing with flashtool. You can check my thread for downloads and instructions

In sim card slot there is a small red button. Hold it down with toothpick or paper clip until you feel three vibrations. That will shut off your phone.
Now you can try Flashtool or Emma.
Thanks so far ... here is an update.
After letting it run down overnight it eventually let me get it into flashmode. Xperia Companion doesn't work (unlocked) but Emma is trying to work. It has taken a few hours to download the software as the phone only stays in flashmode for about 30 seconds but it was able to eventually download the software. Now it is trying to load it but it gets to 11% and the phone goes out of flashmode (but automatically re enters it without me doing anything) and the cycle continues. Is there any way to force it to stay in flashmode?
I've tried the suggestions above to get to TWRP but nothing seems to work.
I can think of 2 reasons. Either emma is broken (never used it, can't tell) or your connection to pc gets interrupted by bad cable or broken connector. Why don't you try flashtool instead of emma?

I wiped whole storage few times as he did (Without letting it run overnight tho) and you can't charge your battery without system or recovery. If your battery drains in this situation you are SOL
yeah I think that is my problem. The phone won't charge and that's why it only stays on for 30 seconds before losing connection.
Can I charge the battery out of the phone? I know it a pain to pull out ... but I've done it before as it needs changing every 12 mths or so.
Not sure about that. I mean there has to be a way to charge it outside phone but you would need special equipment since you can't just use random charger. Since you said you charged your batteries before you could try to use one of them and hope that they have charge in them for flashing. I saw that @munjeni has a lot of experience with this phones hardware so you could try and contact him and ask if he knows about contact points on motherboard for charging
Ok. Got it going again eventually. Not sure exactly what I did that made it work but FYI these are the things that I did that seemed to help:
Charged it on my ASUS tablet charger today - seemed to do a better job than the other charger I was using (it was a Nokia). It seems to hold a very small charge but was not charging the battery properly. Hooked it up to Emma which had already managed to download the software and put the phone under my laptop (trying to warm the battery to squeeze everything our of it). 355 seconds later it had copied the software and the phone was able to turn on normally again. The phone was getting to about 60% of the software copied across before I used the ASUS charger and the heating the phone technique.
BTW I couldn't get flashtool to work. It recognised the phone but stopped saying USB debugging was off.
Thanks for everyones help!!
