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)

Hello,
I'm using Arconium rom when i tryed to install the CM9 to test, well i just flashed with fastboot the new img from FX and install the rom. The instalation started but returned an error that i don't remember something about lt8i (my phone is lt5i).
I go to flashtool and tryed to get back to stock rom, but without sucess, now my phone show the Sony Ericsson logo and later it stay black.
Thinking i can fix this i relock the bootloader with flashtool files (found on Xperia Arc forum) and still not fix. Now i cannot unlock the bootloader "oem failed" and the phone doesnt start.
Please someone can help-me with a tutorial or something else ?

I used PC Companion to update my Sony Xperia Arc S to ICS (Official Sony update). The update did not complete and showed an error. When I tried turning on my phone, it displays the Sony logo, followed by the image of a phone with an exclamation symbol next to it. Then the phone goes blank. I even tried removing the battery and putting it back. Also tried charging my phone. The same thing happens. I don't know what to do. Please help guys. I'm scared that I won't be able to revive my phone!
Flash an .431 firmware through flashtool on you arc and it will be fixed

If your bootloader is locked then you can try using seus (dont use pc companion it always fails for me too) and dont panic its only soft brick and easily recoverable. By the way there is fix for hard brick too.
And if you are on unlocked bl then you cannot update using seus, flash ftf file via flashtool or use patch for it

If you still have problems just use Sony Update Service to restore your phone.

Unhappy Xperia Arc S won't start after updating to ICS
Did You selected to install fastboot, flashmode and Xperia Arc drivers in "Flashtool Drivers Setup"? (C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe)..I would suggest trying to reinstall your drivers by going to (C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe) running the exe file and make sure you scroll to the bottom of menu that appears and ticking fastboot,flashmode drivers, some people forget to do this and of course ticking Xperia Arc drivers..

So now if i connect my Xperia Arc S to computer, i don't hear sound what's mean "Error when connecting device" for a now, it's play correct sound, like device spoted normaly without errors, but my phone anyway can't enter to flash mode for reinstalling FIRMWARE, today i also charged battery without phone, by using portable doc station for battary.
additional info: my phone not turning LED like green when charging or BLUE when i try bring phone to flash mode.
What i can do for resolving problem, i mean, all problems started after my restoring backuped programs and earn 0 space on local phone storage. And after cycling rebooting my phone, before i removed battery.
ty for advice.
Hi, I've a problem with my Xperia Play, I tried to flash .42 FW over a custom rom, but I think I bricked it, because aftter flashing, the phone doesnt start up and a red light appears near the power button when I connect the phone at the computer (that happens also when I trying to power up the device). Also, when I connect the phone at my computer, it recognize as "Xperia Neo", instead of Xperia Play. Can someone help me, please ?

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.
