Hey, I'm new here. I have a Sony ericsson arc that is rooted and unlocked bootloader. I downloaded a room that I installed via recorvery mode. I did just like how it was done, but I think something went wrong.
I turned on my cell phone after the installation but the phone will not turn on. The only thing that shows up is the Sony Ericcson logo. The mobile phone will not charge, and when I insert the USB cable that comes up the logo. If not turned off the phone unless I take out the battery. I do not know what to do.
I think I have to flash the firmware oginale, but do not know where I can find it and I'm really not sure. Appreciate all the comments that will help me and my Xperia arc. Sorry for my bad english!
Do you know the name of the rom?
It might be helpful to myself and other users if you tell us the name of the rom, if it was a "CM7" "CM9" or "CM10" rom, you will need to flash a different kernel for it to boot. There are also other methods of fixing it, such as flashing an ftf in flashtool, or a different rom.
First, tell us the name of the rom, and I will try to help more from there
Hope I can help!

Actully, i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657848 !!
Your problem is probably your kernel, you may have tried to use an ICS ROM with a GingerBread Kernel
Do a search on "ArcKnight Kernel" I recommend it
I'll help you some more when I get on my computer tomorrow if you need it

I tried searching the ArcKnight Kernel but can not find where my problem can be solved by ArcKnight Kernel .. + I will not do anything stupid, because I'm not too familiar with rooms, kernel, etc..
I would rather wait for a response from you in the morning, and still looking for solution ..
Thanks.

HI,
You have to flash the Arcknight or stock(ICS 4.0.4) kernel first using flashtool (trhough fastboot==>install kernel), after that you can install your chosed Room like that one in your post, because you may made mistake installing the Room with a wrong Kernel, it's happened to most of pepeole, like me
How to flash a kernel
What kupuku says is correct
HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL
STEP 1 - Picking a kernel:
Download the kernel you want to use, as I said, I recommend "ArcKnight" you can download this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24807655&postcount=2
The files you need to get are
Main Kernel OverClocked CPU - ArcKnight Kernel_RC_3.5.1_OC_TEST
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
Wifi and Zram Modules for Kernel - ArcKnight_Kernel_RC_3.5.1_Wifi_Module
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 2 - A program that will help:
I find the easiest way to flash a new kernel is to use this program called QuikIMG
Which you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23714241&postcount=1
STEP 3 - How to setup QuikIMG:
So you have the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
and you have "QuikIMG" EXTRACTED
1)Go to the folder where you extracted QuikIMG to and open the folder called "images":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Drag the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img" into the folder called images - so it looks like this:
3) Go back to the QuikIMG folder and open up QuikIMG and select "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
4) You will then need to connect your phone in "Fastboot mode"
To do this you need to:
1) Connect your usb to the computer but NOT the phone
2) Turn your phone off
3) Hold down the menu button (the one on the right at the bottom)
4) Connect your usb cable to the phone
5) There should be a blue light on the side of your phone, this is when you know it is connected and QuikIMG should look like this:
5) If QuikIMG says "Connected" all that is left to do is to press "Flash" and then remove the cable and turn your phone on
EXTRA:
If your WiFi does not work when you turn your phone on, you will need to flash the zip file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip"
You do this by putting the "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip" on your SD card and using recovery to flash it
Hope this helps somehow! any other questions on anything, let me know!
- Jack
Good evening!
I did like you said, but but the flashing failed because it says that my phone is not rooted!
Im pretty sure that my phone was rooted, i used Titanium backup, superuser.. I could use apps which requied rooted phone!
Thanks for any kind of solusion!
-Bitonii
Did QuikIMG display your phone as "Connected" ?

Yes, it says that its connected! Shold the partition of flash be on ''boot''? becase it is on boot.
Yes it should be on boot, don't ever change that
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
What does QuikIMG say, can you copy and paste the text?
Also try different usb ports and restarting your computer

Im not sure if my phone is unlocked bootloader, but i THINK it is..
QuickIMG says:
Flashing, please wait...
sending 'boot' (5606 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Done. Please check log for errors.
I dont have any other USB ports, but i will try to restart my computer.. It has been on in like over 24 hours xD
I tried flashing after restaring my computer, but didn't make any changes.. same problem
That is an error that occurs from not having an unlocked bootloader
If you want to unlock your bootloader then there are a few ways you can do it
I personally used these instructions
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But there are other ways to, but it is your decision on if you unlock it and how you unlock it
I personally recommend you do unlock it however to get full access to all ROMs for the Arc S

Finally made it
yes! I managed to fix the problem in the end! I downloaded the original firmware to Xperia arc (LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf) and flashed it using the program flash tool 9 The phone is now my life again, and that's all I care about!
Of course, I lost all my apps, contact and everything but the phone will survive and that is what I care most about!
I appreciate all the answers that have come to help me, and I hope people who have the same problem with help from this post.
A big thanks to Jack who has used his time to help me and others who are in the same situation I was in. Thank you, everyone!

That was the final thing I was gonna try haha, glad you got it working and it's not a bother, glad I could offer some help

If there was already post like this sorry I couldn't find it.
Hi there,
Okay the process you linked (assuming it went well) should have provided you with a rooted device with S-OFF.
Have you tried rebooting the phone into recovery? Did you download your ROM via ROM manager? At what point did your phone start "going crazy"?
As much information about the issue as possible will help us to help you

please post the things that you tried before posting...
and well... it seems that something went badly when flashed it....
try to re-flash but Do fullwipe (fact.reset, data caché, and dalvik before flash,and after do battery wipe)
in adition... you revised the "buglist" of this ROM?maybe there´s something that provokes it.....

its a .zip file...
then you should to put this file into the root of sd-card... repeat not in any folder...
later... when you pasted it into sd (with a card reader, or with another device)... put the sd into your device again, reboot again into bootloader, enter in fastboot and wait for an automatic installation of this file...
(later press my thanks button and enjoy again of your new DHD lol)
remember... after flashing pd98img file you are going to adquire the 1.32 oficial version of android 2.2 (the older) for flash another rom you know that you must to root again, and install THE RECOVERY for issues like this...

Ok, I've been given an Xperia Play by my friend. He said that it didn't work and if I managed to fix it, I could have it. Turns out the battery was faulty so I replaced that and it worked fine. Now that I access it, I find that it has Cyanogen 7 installed.
My question is this. Would it be possible to reset the phone so that it like a new phone (i.e removing Cyanogen and restoring the firmware that came with it)?
Unfortunately, my friend didn't keep backups so i'm stuck with that I've got. I'm not that bothered if it has to remain rooted but can anything be done with the firmware?

Yeah course you can revert to stock firmware, all you have to do is find your rom for your phone, seeing as how r800i (Europe) is the most popular i'll go with that...
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1313505
Download the latest official rom from that link extract the .ftf from the .rar, this is the ftf file for .42
2. Then install flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
3. Put the .ftf file in the firmware folder of the extracted flashtool program
4. Run the flashtool program select the .42 firmware from FLASH button, check wipe user data, Turn of the phone, hold back button, plug in usb to computer, wait till it goes green and run flashtool
5. Wait till it finishes, turn phone on, wait... wait... done!!
Or....
Connect phone to Sony Update Service, click repair and select phone type, it will revert to newest firmware

I followed that but it still comes up with it's been modified.
My friend said that he modified the bootrom. Could that be a possible reason why it's doing this? In the mean time, i'll try your first suggestion.
As long as you don't connect the phone until the repair screen starts you shouldn't have a problem. Just do my first suggestion

hey, just wondering if you have sorted the "Update now" problem?
I have searched high and low for an answer to my problem for the past 5 hours. Haven't found a solution or guide on XDA or anywhere else that can help, so I am making this post as my last effort.
I bought an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus off of ebay knowing that it was stuck in a boot loop. I figured it could be fixed. I may be wrong.
I AM ON A MAC The pictures have Windows but I am running Parallels and it sucks.
--------
Ok, so here is my problem lies, when turning the device on normally I get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I get this for a few seconds, then it goes away, vibrates, and comes back ..... over and over.
I can get to both Odin mode and Fastboot:
This is no problem.
I even managed to get CWM on the phone and to come up:
My issue now is that I can't get ADB to work .. Wugs ToolKit won't work ... Galaxy Nexus ToolKit wont work ... nothing.
I can't be 100% sure that USB Debugging is enabled as I can't get past the Google Logo.
Is there anything that can be done to save this phone ... or is it a fancy paperweight?
I have an N4, I just bought this because the seller had no clue how to fix it, and it was a good deal. (not to mention I was planning to use it as a dev device for apps and such)
Thanks everyone!!!
Use the terminal on the Mac. I also have a Mac. Let me find u the files needed for adb and fast boot for macs.

Unfortunately so ---- Windows XP and Windows 7 both ... I may try again tomorrow : /
Ok, so here is my status now ---
Flashed stock image using Odin. Said it was completed and successful. Gave a big "PASS" message.
Rebooted phone, and watched the Google logo bootloop for 30mins.
On the plus side, my phone is now getting recognized as an ADB Interface --- but only in Fastboot. When I enter Stock Recovery or CWM Recovery, I can no longer use adb.
1 step closer, or totally effed?

Yes it does, but only in fast boot.
Other things I found:
-My battery is full. When I plug it in it shows it's charging then shows me battery life, shows full.
-When I turn it on, it gets stuck at Google screen
-When I go into fastboot my computer recognizes it, but after flashing anything to it, it just continues to be stuck on the Google start-up screen
Update since I've written this post... when I plug it in, it wont go past the 'showing that it's charging screen" I have to wait till it shows battery status before I can go into fast boot, and now it wont even do that... neat. Headed home, then i'll swap batteries and try it all again.

Yes it does, but only in fast boot.
Other things I found:
-My battery is full. When I plug it in it shows it's charging then shows me battery life, shows full.
-When I turn it on, it gets stuck at Google screen
-When I go into fastboot my computer recognizes it, but after flashing anything to it, it just continues to be stuck on the Google start-up screen

Will this restore an IMEI number after a botched unlocking?
(The IMEI is good, legit, and mine--I messed up a step in FreeGee and now it reports as 0.)

This is the one I have used the last 5 times under a variety of messed up situations and it always works. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND TAKE YOUR TIME. It seems like a lot to do but it is not that bad after the first time you have all the files. Make a "Phone" folder on your computer and put all the files in there and keep everything nice and tidy. Follow the instructions and it will fix just about everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
P.S. When you get everything downloaded and unzipped..and you start flash tools with a # you found on the internet..maybe something like 39B0-IH19-4UAO-G6T8. you have checked manual mode on flash tools and put in the file locations in the top two slots, and you finally hit the yellow arrow at the top left....it will say "waiting" for about a minute. THIS IS NOT waiting on you to plug phone in!! You plug phone in when it says ready and that window with "waiting" goes away. Do not unplug the phone either just because it reboots. You need to wait until the bar turns blue and it says complete. This happens around 522 seconds or after.
this just saved my phone from being stuck on recovery! thanks!
I wonder if anyone has solved the battery issue with this method ????
Many users report that while using this method all goes well till around 45% complete and they get a message "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge phone fully and try again".
This despite the phone being fully charged.
A very common problem it seems.

me neither i have tried evry methos just cant find a kdz file have tot file and dll file??? any help
wanted warranty back!! plz help
Is this method resets the binary counter on my device?? And do i get my warranty back! plz help.
the reason behind doing so is...
1. When i was on stock unrooted new phone all seemed good.. but after 3 months when i open gallery app half of the imaged is gone. i have to again tap on screen to get back the full image. half upper screen gets randomly colored including the status bar. i thought it was an rom issue. so i rooted and put the custom (g2 apps added) rom. but the problem still continues. so i decided to follow these instructions. but can i get my warranty back? please help!
I am doing this right now and it says it is downloading but I don't see the progress bar

Hey guys,
I've been trying to work with my friends ZL for the past day or so. Normally I don't have these sorts of problems.. I've successfully been able to root and install custom recovery and rom within a day on devices like the Xperia U, Nexus 4, and Xperia X10. For some reason I'm having trouble with the ZL, locked BL.
- If I plug in the phone to the PC and load up flashtool, it says connected in flashmode. I can force it to connect in fastboot by holding vol+ but if I do nothing, it automatically connects in flash mode. This isn't normal, is it? Automatically connecting in flash mode?
- If I try to flash a stock FTF, it will flash it with NO issues at all. The only problem is when it is done flashing, it says the regular message of disconnect and start your phone, but at the same time it says phone connected in flashmode. So FTF flashes and completes and the flashtool log still says it's connected in flash mode, then if I try to disconnect the phone and boot it, it used to start looping, but now it just gives me 3 quick flashes of a red LED
- If I try to power on the phone, I just get 3 quick red LED flashes
- If I try to connect the phone to the charger, it shows the sony logo for a quick second, shuts down, then shows the sony logo again, and repreats indefinitely
- If I try to connect it to the PC, it boot loops in the same way. If I leave flashtool open, it says device connected in flash mode, then disconnected, then flash mode, then disconnected, and so on.
Based on my very limited knowledge of these things, I'd say the phone is stuck in flash mode.
Now, how do I get the phone out of flash mode? Or if that's not the problem, how do I fix this? I don't think it's possible to permanently brick an Android phone these days, so there must be something I can do get this phone back.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions! I would greatly, greatly appreciate it
same here, if anyone can help us, it will deeply appreciated.
Does the led light up green when it's connect to the pic and flashtool is saying it's in flashmode?
Sounds dumb, but have you COMPLETELY powered the phone off by holding down the yellow reset button for 10 seconds, until you get 3 vibes, and trying again?

If you can get into fastboot, can you fastboot flash a boot.img with recovery built in, and boot into recovery with the buttons(pwr + vol -/+)?

Good evening friends, I am having problems after installing the rom on the DE 101 upon rom singapore 101, the first time I did the installation of the ROM was running everything is normal but when doing a simple test in Antutu, when the test reached to 22% the phone shut down, at first I thought it was bug in the app, but when trying to connect the phone came the problem, the phone will not turn over does not pass the boot screen "Sony". I can only call him when I keep the charger plugged in, I've been several ROMs and anything, the problem persists and the cell phone only turns on when plugged into the charger. I do not have the backup partition as the TA already bought the phone with unlocked bootloader.
If anyone can help me thanks.
ive charged my zl even its boot loops then after 3 hours, i charges and when i turn it on it show that its fine but when i unplug the phone, it's doing the same boot loop. i think i might have to replace the battery. i will call sony service center here but since its not on warranty anymore, i may have to shell out some money. btw, does anyone knows where can i buy ang orig battery replacement online? thanks!

I'm having the same problem you were.
Always on 'flashmode' using flashtools. Phone won't turn up, always bootlooping.
Neither SUS could resolve it,
Think I'll have to use warranty service...
Bad luck
