I dont know much about it....but you can try flashing a new or the same firmware! Its just a thought! If you dont have backup of your data then do not proceed with this! Wait for some expert to help you! But if you have backed up all your data then there is nothing wrong in flashing!
If i helped you, hit the thanks button!

I know the bootloader is locked.
Anyway
I bought my mobile from amazon.co.uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004UK6H6W/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details

I tried flashing a new firmware but it didnt do any thing! The lock was still there! So only thing left is we gotta unlock the bootloader...dont worrl we will relock it again! But you will loose track id (can get it back from market/ play store) and the thumbs up stuff for Facebook in music player! I will try to get them back...all of it! So you ready to unlock the boot loader...its the only way from where i see it!

Unlocking the bootloader will do a factory reset (for security purpose ). So this should solve the problem. But if it doesn't...i got other stuff too! Dont worry!

I just have the serial number

Use WotanServer for flashing. It's now free and it will remove phone lock code:

This service will flash selected firmware to your Xperia arc S phone.
Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S Debranding
In a case you select Generic software during flashing process your Xperia arc S will be debranded.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S Language Download

[Q] what is the fastest ICS Firmware for Xperia ARC ?

Hi
I have flashed the global ICS firmware for my xperia arc ! i really like it but it is not as smooth as the gingerbread. I know the firmware is full of bloatware and thats why its a bit laggy..
My question is there a ROM (modified firmware) which i can flash to make the ics run smoothly and faster on my arc ??

Try Arconium.

AOKP! But needs unlocked bootloader..
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

I'm using the World Generic 4.04 stock rom, and find it occasionally locks up and crashes, I do like the feel and style of ICS but dont think its been perfected for the Arc yet, if I could unlock my bootloader i'd try other roms, so its between ICS or Gingerbread for me

AOKP & sirkey'a kernel, enough said and definitely worth getting your bootloader unlocked

I'm not that overwhelmed by Arconium, which AOKP Rom?

[Q] Rom Advise?

Hello!
I have a rooted Xperia Arc S, and I am interested in changing my Rom. At the moment I have MooDed ICS 90.4, but I was wondering if there are any better Roms I should use...
I would not use a Rom which requires an unlocked bootloader as I do not want to unlock mine as I heard that you can no longer use Sony PC Companion to unbrick your phone (which I have needed 4 times!)
Thanks if you can help!

Yes.

If you have root access and a working recovery, then skip step 1

You can't OC when you have locked bootloader,you have to unlock bootloader,flash custom kernel then you'll be able to OverClock higher.

This topic is not about overclocking.
He has Arc S, which should have stock CPU frequency of 1.4 GHz, however new ROM set it to 1.0 GHz.
To OP: When installing the ROM, did you install the Arc S version?

. Arc S, Non unlockable,xperia Honami Z1 rom by Saqib. Ask for anything else....
Flashed through cwm. also tried to reflash stock and than the Honami rom, I also got this when using the Ultimate HD rom.
Someguy theres just one version for both..
