Just got this phone, yesterday I updated it to 4.0.3 official, then 4.0.4, got it rooted and installed CWM recovery. The kernel was 2.6.32.9-perf. Now I wanted to try Arconium 8.2, applied 2 .zips, and now I get stuck on "Sony" bootscreen. Can't get to recovery, flashtool doesn't recognize it... What to do? I just want to go back on Gingerbread, some things on ICS were pissing me off.
My bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked.
EDIT: trying with UpdateService now, I'll report to you.
EDIT2: Repaired. Thanks for nothing
dude change the kernel..flash gingerbread kernel..your problem will be solved

i ran into a unique situation with my experimental r800x... i rooted it and got CMW recovery although i have a locked bootloader. i tried installing a stock based custom rom and was successful. the only problem was i forgot to wipe my data clean which i believe is causing me to be stuck in spash screen. i have no idea if it is a hard brick or not.
the situation is unique because i can still use adb... but i cannot use adb shell, i tried booting into recovery but i am still stuck in spash screen. is there a way to fix this problem? thank god i did not do this on my brand new xperia =P

ok ill give it a shot, i messed with flashtool a little but had little to do for me since most of the things i explored required fastboot.
UPDATE: ok i figured out that i was supposed to put the ftf files in the firmware folder... is say 'preparing files for flashing'... but the loading bar has not moved for a few minutes now...
UPDATE x 2: its flashing, it turns out i needed to install drivers for my phone to be recognized. the stepping stone helped a lot man thanks!
HELP!!!
Hello,
I'm sure that i have messed up my R800x. It is stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo when i try to boot it. This happened when I tried to flash my first ROM. It was a UK firmware for R800x(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263183&page=6). I tried to get the hardware keys to work, but failed miserably, and here I am. Can anyone try to help? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Skelutton

You must flash the wifi modules of doomkernel in order to get the wifi back again.Just scroll down on doomkernel's thread and u'll find the modules.
Sh*t happens...
Every rom has its compatible kernels. If you flash the wrong kernel, it won't work. But then, you flash a new kernel, install your rom again and everything goes well. When you have wi-fi issues or something, you have to change your kernel or flash a patch through recovery.
Well it seems my Play has finally died.
Woke up this morning and my touchscreen wouldnt respond so I reflashed the ROM Im using (MIUI v4).
Now, for some reason, it wont make it past CWM no matter what kernel I flash.
So I used Flashtool to go back to a stock ftf and it freezes at the SE logo. However, when connected with PC Companion it gets to the lockscreen but the touchscreen wont work :S
Im at a loss completely :S
Any help would be great
Woo man.. That sounds srious. Its like the phne touchscreen has been disable. Did u try flashing a kernel with full touch recovery n see if its touch-able?? Just a suggestion. Its really weird how that happen, really. It shouldn't matter if u plug ur phone to pc or not. If the screen boot it should respon with any touch u make. Weird...

I tried the CWM with touch support and it doesnt respond at all. When I flash a ROM it wont make it past CWM so it seems like Ive got 2 problems. Well, if I flash a stock ftf file it sticks at the first Sony Ericsson logo as well so flashing back to stock isnt a solution either
EDIT: I appear to have life CM9 has booted to the main splash screen. However, touch input is still gone

Meaning the touchscreen is completely dead or it dosen't boot up the system completely?? This is hard. If the screen is touch-able u obviously wont hav any problem. Did u try any othert .ftf besides the 1 u already hav?? Just curious...

No man....don't say that. You have been a big help here, especially to me. I wonder what you did to that screen and if it happened from a rom flash or what.

I flashed an MIUI ICS rom and the following morning it was locked up. Now certain kernels wont go past CWM.
FXP kernels seem to work for me though but the touchscreen doesnt work. Some of the stock firmwares wont even boot but even if they do, the touchscreen doesnt work. Ive wiped data/cache/dalvik so many times but I havent a clue whats happened :S
Im still gonna stick around the Play section though
This has been the only phone issue thats ever had me stumped completely
Did u did a factory reset also before flashing anything?
Can you enter the service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* in phone dialer?? Then you can test the touchscreen, hard keys, proximity, ALS, and almost all other functions. I'm not sure if its the same numbers for all versions of Play or just AT&T's version. If not google service menu+android or something. Or maybe its something that can fixed with computer by the guys who unlock fix Sony phones.(Jinx13 & alejandrissimo-*probably misspelled)

Sure. U can test the touchscreen on that menu. If u can get to it. The code r the same for all xperia phone, i guess.

Got to that menu and its still not responding to touch.
Sold the phone for scrap today. I had no warranty due to unlocking the bootloader via the Sony Unlock site so sending it for repair was out of the question. Moving on to HTC at the weekend. Gonna get the Explorer I think it was

Before attempting to flash, try this:
Remove the battery and put it back
Boot to CWM
Clear Dalvik Cache
Boot to system
I did face similar issue couple of times after flashing Ultimate Xperia HD and another ROM. But both times, clearing Dalvik Cache by booting to CWM and then booting to system did the trick. Try it out.
Hi, first, i'm sorry for the bad english, 'cause i'm brazillian. Ok.
Then, i was trying to flash the android 4.4 for my xperia s, with the cyanogenmod, right. So, i unlocked the bootloader, made root, everything, but, when i tried to install the new android, it get an error, so i turned off my phone. BUT, i forget that i made the wipe's and etc. Now i'm without android OS, stopped on the sony logo, i can make the hard reset and access fastmode and flashmode, but i dont know what i have to do, 'cause, when i try in flashtools, it gets an error, sayin' that the debugging option is off, but i can turn this on! Help me!

Hope your phone is getting detected. So if you can access flashboot, Try flashing a Kernel with inbuild Recovery.
Same happened to me i flashed a kernel with inbuild recovery and flashed a Zip. And brought back my phone. I suggest u try the Same.
