I need help with a recently purchased xperia arc, i received and it came with Free Xperia ROM the problem was that it was not connecting to WIFI and the GPS was turning off randomly.
I connect the phone to the SE update manager and it says that it was not able to recover since it was a modified phone, the thing is that it was being recognize as a LT18i and not a LT15i, I tried to use flashtool to return to Generic Rom I used LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic Global World and it flash ok no errors but now the phone is bootlooping, now I tried to use the repair tool on Sony PC companion but it does not even recognize the type of device and when I select Xperia Arc LT15i it shows that there is no software available for this pone.
What can I do to restore this phone to factory settings? }
And to clarify it is a LT15i not a LT18i
Pleas help

I own a Sony Xperia Arc (purchased on June, 2011) and it doesn't work anymore without any explanation.
When I turn on the phone, it appears Sony Ericcson brand and then, mobile network carrier brand, but then, instead of appearing home, it appears again Sony brand and an infinite loop goes on.
At first,I tried to solve the problem with the Sony tools like PC Companion and Sony Update Service.
Then, I tried to do a hard reset (back + menu and power), but nothing changed (the same bootloop).
What would you do now? Would be useful trying to flash some firmware? I have been reading posts about flashing firmware, bootloader unlocking and rooting Xperia Arc, but I don't now really what would be the best move now.
For your information, I haven't applied any kind of official upgrade before, neither I have tried to root the phone or flash any custom firmware, so I had my phone as it came from factory (with Android 2.3.2). Moreover, I haven't installed any suspicious application, just typical apps like whatsapp and so on. By the way, the phone haven't suffered any crash neither wet.
I have attached the log I have taken when I try to turn on the phone (I get the same log again and again, at the end of the log it reports some problem with memory, I hope it's not a hardware problem):
Try using the Flashtool and report back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

Hi,

I have the same problem.
İ have lt15i firmware. Try to install lt18i via flashtool and something broken and aborted. I tried to install LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(1247-1041).ftf via flashtool. It said flashed but said power on turn on unknown sources and devices. When i try to power on it boot loop in Sony Logo.
I try to use CWM mode. Wipe and flash some data. Couldn't find user data files. Installed a Custom ROM when a boot animation appear its boot again to SONY logo. what should i do?

Xperia arc problem
Hello, i have a problem since i tried to update my xperia arc to the last kit kat build, i flashed the kernel before installing the new rom, and now it simply reboot after legacyxperia logo, and when i tried to go to recovery menu it enters but doesn't show any options, only show the hat with the refresh symbol. If you can please help me.
Thank you, have a great day
Xperia Arc
4.0.4/4.1.B.0.587
Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted
Guys,tried installing a custom Rom Omega on the 3rd.Nov,a couple of days ago.Followed every word the OP on how to install.Aroma popped up and made some choices and then rebooted into recovery.When phone switched back on only the SONY logo was there and it kept on repeating.Made some enquiries from members.Was advised to flash original firmware which I did.When the phone booted up,this time SONY XPERIA and kept on repeating.Been all over the place searching for a way to overcome this problem.
Came across an article on google:Recovering dead/bricked phone xperia arc -in that article there is mention of taking the generic global 4.1.B.0.587.zip file and extracting it to a .tft file and flashing it onto the device.This I am unsure of as I have never come across a .tft file.I've been unable to go into the main screen to make any changes to enable USB Debugging,Unknown Sources and MSC Mode if need be to flash again because when I tried doing it again the process aborted.Even tried to Relock bootloader so that SUS or PCCompanion would recognize the device
so that I can be able to get out of this mess I created.Unable to find a solution.Need urgent assistance.
You have to download the .ftf file (it's in the zip) on to your computer and flash it by using a tool called Flashtool.
Also flash stock kernel back or advanced stock kernel.

Issue Resolved
I tried the an older Version of Flashtool and my issue Resolved
My Mobile of Xperia XA1 Died while trying to downgrade firmware via Xperia Flashtool.
it shows Red light only while usb connected or being charged. (Hard Bricked as i know).
Mobile is recognized as USB Serial Device in Device manager.
i Read somewhere that if i can get a SP Flash tool compatible Firmware Image and Scatter file, i can try to reflash.
i tried to find it over internet but no luck with Firmware or Rom and Scatter file.
While these many threads in XDA Community i hope that someone can make it for me if possible and i can try that.
Any Help or suggestion is welcome.
(Nearby Sony Service center says they don't do this mobile anymore and i will have to go to a city far far away for next center)
Phone is out of warranty. Bootloader was untempered (still locked i suppose) , not rooted , not customized, no custom recovery.
Phone's camera stopped working and even factory reset didn't helped so was trying to flash the factory stock rom. and it didn't go well.
Tried: Xperia Flash tool, Xperia Companion ( Can't boot to Fastboot via Vol down)
i Don't have any Box to proceed with.
Model: Sony Xperia XA1 G3116 (India)
