[Q] Arc hang on at boot on Sony Ericson Logog

Hi everybody,
My Xperia Arc is unlocked and rooted.
I installed the new firmware LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.img with fastboot.
Everything went smooth, no error message. But now my phone doesn't boot anymore, as it hangs on SE logo.
When I try to flashtool, I have an error message: turn on Unknown Sources and Debuging.
I can't do this as I can't boot my phone.
What shall I do ?
I tried hard reset with no sucess.
I can boot in clockword mode with fastboot, but then?
TY for any help

was that a rooted image u flashed?
i suggest you may flash the FTF file first using flashtool then you fastboot the rooted image

I already tried to flash the generic .tft file.

The device is repaired.
First I relock the phone with flashtool using Xperia relock bootloader.ftf.
Then, I flashed the generic LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized.ftf.
Now back with the phone, and will upgrade, root and unlock.

Hello !
My Xperia Arc is locked and no rooted.
I have the same error message from the log " turn on Unknown Sources and Debuging."
I had already do this and I still have this message.
Perhaps someone can help me ?
Thanks....

Are you sure this is an error message? in flashtool you always get this message after the process is finished.
When you start up the device, go to settings>applications>
check 'unknown sources' and then tap 'development' check 'usb debugging'

[Xperia S]Problem with a wrong flash

Hi all, I have registered on this forum to ask you help for a problem that occurs when this afternoon I was flashing my Sony Xperia S.
On my Smartphone was installed the original Sony firmware 6.2.B.1.96, and I've decided to root my mobile.
To do this, I've found a tutorial that it say, in a point, I have to change the kernel, so I downloaded it (the link was available on the webpage) and i flashed it with Flashtool.
After the end of the process, I could see that my phone wasn't rooted, so I've tried to downgrade to Ice Creme Sandwich and root my Xperia with ICS.
After the cange of the rom, my phone is unusable: it's impossible to turn it on, and if I plug it in the computer, it start directly in flashmode, and after (about) 10 seconds,on the phone's screen appears a triangle with an exclamation mark, and near a smarthphone.
This change of phone status is continuous like a loop.
I don't have idea about the solution of the problem, so I would ask you: Is there a solution of this problem?
Thank you so much if you can help me!
P.S: Sorry for my bad english, I'm an italian student
P.P.S: If I have chosen the wrong section of the forum, sorry.

bot @melvinhatred , @mahyjooon
seems like u have FLASHED wrong kernels, what are your Exact devices? E6xxx ?
tell me your devices , so that i can guide u better
when you downloaded latest FTF, why did u extract? there is not such need!
download full ftf file via FLASHTOOL ! / the last button on flashtool menu is Xperifirm , click it, select your DEVICE MODEL (accurately) from LEFTSIDE menu, then on the rightside, download LATEST rom as per your country (if country is not listed then Central USA / Europe , or MENA Arabic also) will do just fine.
after FLASHTOOL download and prepare your ftf file, connect your device in FLASH MODE and FLASH this rom (wipe data/kernel/system/setting/userdata ALL)
NOW --------------- since you have BRICKED/ bootloop fone try this
PRESS POWER+VOLUME up key for 5 seconds --- AS SOON AS FONE VIBRATE - RELEASE FINGERS INSTANTLY!!!!
if it restarts and goes in to boot loops then
PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOLUM UP KEY FOR 15 SECONDS --- THE FONE WILL VIBRATE 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHILE ITS VIBRATING SECOND TIME, RELEASE YOUR FINGERS AT ONCE!!!
THE device will sleep.
now try connection your device for flashing in flash mode for FLASHTOOL
this trick / methods is tested by me for xperia z (older device),
tell me what happens with your z5 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i have E6833, i was tring to root it via this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ck-root-xperia-z5-premium-sony-stock-t3335974
but after installing supersu it faced softbrick and didn't boot so I tried to flash stock .253 tft file which i had downloaded from other sources , with flash tools but it stuck on modem.sin and i have to brought it to the shop to have it recover by box .its not the first time i'm facing the problem with flash tools , it always stock on one step for about an hour, the time before the last, i was trying to update it by flash tools and it stucked again.the xperia companion isn't working either -_- it says that it cant connect to network to find the update ! i checked the firewall and internet explorer internet options tab , but nothing worked for me ! my flash tools version is 0.9.22.0 build on 16-5-2016 . the last time i tried 0.9.18 version cause i saw somewhere that maybe the problem is related to new version but it didn't worked again, at the end what i think is that there should be zip flashing method from custom or stock recovery for flashing stock Roms too ! flash tools sucks in my case -_-

http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ting-xperia-z5-z5p-variants-drm-keys-t3437902
i will go in preface
1. what is your windows version? flashtool don't work goo on windows8 / 10. it usually hands at some point , i use win7 x64 and also flashtool x64 version
2. what were the sources u donwloaded the ftf file?
3. better to download ftf file via flashtool itself (last button is Xperifirm, click it, find SATSUKI dual E6833 and version of USA/ MENA ending .253) and flash it
4. while flashing disable antivirus, I used SAMSUNG galaxy usb data cable (if that makes difference) ,
5. with me it stuck at reading headers for 19mins but then it closed all headers and flashing was done.
plz read my post.
thanks
