Xperia Acro reboot loop - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Fist of all, I'm so sorry about my poor english, I'm from Brasil and you know, thats not my native language
My friends, my uncle come from Japan and give me a Acro SO-02C, I already have a Arc, so I just try to flash the Acro with Arc firmware (ICS Stock), but the phone just get infinity boot loop. I can't enter fastboot mod, Its just like the phone dont ir recognize the drivers, I try many tutorials, in english and portuguese, but I can't. My question is: Will some FW work normal on my Acro? I need to unlock bootloader in order do flash my phone? What can I do?
Thanks in advice.

Firstly, you should not flash arc firmware on acro.
You can use SEUS(for locked bootloader on stock firmware and kernel) to flash your acro with the latest firmware available for acro.
If you have the ftf file for acro, you can flash via flashtool (need unlocked bootloader)

SEUS will work now that I have flashed my Acro with Arc fw?
I can't find any ftf from Acro =/ btw, Idk how to unlock Acro bootloader anyway.

You might have to take it to a service centre, and use this as a valuable lesson, don't flash things that aren't for your device, especially when there's NO FW to be found for it on xda.

well you can probably use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606748

As long as you connect your phone to pc, SEUS can detect it. You just need to choose acro as your phone type and let seus do its thing

Have you tried repairing your phone in PC vompanion?
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
pc companion cant repair it as it needs me to go to notification via phone which is impossible since it just bootloops from sony to xepria logo.

Getting your Phone back to a factory state DOES NOT require you to be rooted or have an unlocked bootloader, the thing that's lacking here is reading, and persistence. You need to figure out getting PC Companion, SEUS, or the Flashtool (Official and un-Official) to work, so as you know what to do, it's over to you to do it, and if it's not working then you're obviously doing something wrong.
i personally prefer flashtool. simple to use and doesnt require root or unlocked bootloader if you're flashing stock ftf.

Download Sony Mobile Update Service, follow the instructions to repair your phone's firmware.

Going back to full stock

Hi
I am looking to fully reset my arc to orignal sony Ericsson fw
so can someone point me to the latest stock fw (preferably India fw) and the guide on how to flash it
My bootloader is unlocked and i am using CM10 right now
Sent from my Xperia Arc using xda premium
If you want to get country specific software best way is to restore via Sony Update Service, but you need to relock your bootloader to use that method. For unlocked bootloader you can use flashtool to flash a ftf file but I cannot guarantee that it is India stock firmware.

Relock ftf : "C:\Flashtool\firmwares\X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf"
u dont need to unlock your bootloader just:
Download ftf file from here: http://www.qosmodro.me/2013/01/all-xperia-2011-official-stock-firmware.html
and flash it via flashtool.

If that website did not have the ftf file he will need to relock the bootloader to use SUS. SUS will determine his location and let him download the specific firmware for his phone since he was looking for Generic India firmware.

SUS is noob friendly and you don't have to find the files on the internet. The program will download it for you.

If you know how to use flashtool, you can download the ftf file from the link from the previous post and flash using flashtool. If you're not sure how to use it then use SUS, but relock the bootloader before using SUS.
