Hi everybody,
I've a Xperia Arc LT15i and tried to update to ICS using PC Companion. However, after the progress bar was about 50%, an error message appeared, saying that it was not possible to complete, and to try again later. I tried several times again, with the same result. Then, tried to update using Update Service, without success too.
As the official update software weren't working, I decided to flash some roms using Flashtool. Althouth it looked promissing, most of the roms I tried can't be fully flashed (both GB and ICS). Following several tips found here, I tried to use older Flashtool releases, different roms, restarted my computer, check the "No final verification" option... Nothing worked.
The only thing I noticed is that, if I remove the system.sin from the ftt files, specially from GB roms, the flash successfully finishes. But, after that, if I try to flash only the remaining system.sin file, it always fails...
Please, I would really appreciate some advice to make my Xperia Arc work again.
Thanks in advance!
Post full Flashtool log please.

what about bl? locked or unlocked?
and what roms you tried custom or stock?
I had the same prob , the thing was,
you need to clean syste,data,catch (on "mount" menu<cant remember the corect path>)
and other catch folders thru CWM.
Just do it. you will be fine

Lolwat guys.
There is nothing to do with custom ROMs or bootloader at here.
He clearly said, he is attempting to install stock firmware via Flashtool. There is not even a word about custom stuff.
And bootloader has nothing to do with Flashtool in that case.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Here is the latest logs - actually, it failed when flashing the amss.sin w/ Flashtool 0.6.9.1:

I'm trying only stock roms, as Someguyfromhell noticed; latest ones were:
LT15a arc_v2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic America
LT15i_4.1.B.0.431[Generic World FR]
But I'm pretty sure I tried most of the stock roms available in other topics.
Update your flashtool. Maybe that will fix the error :good:

Unfortunately, it doesn't. I tried several versions:
flashtool-0.9.0.0-windows
flashtool-0.8.5.0-windows
flashtool-0.8.0.0-windows
flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows
flashtool-0.6.8.0-windows
Flashtool-0.2.9.1-windows
Hi everybody,
I've attached a full (detailed) log from Flashtool 0.9.0 when trying to flashing rom LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62.ftf - this one failed in the system.sin.
With this rom, the Sony Ericsson logo appears on the screen, but right after that a warning icon is presented and the device turns off.

I have anwser to both q
1st if he is on unlocked bl he Cannot use pc companion to update it will brick his device and only applying patch can solve it I think or it may give error
2nd if he is on gb as I guess and tried to flash ICS CUSTOM ROMS as he said he tried rom(S) he cannot.
Because ics rom requires ics kernels.
And yes about custom roms I was wrong as I know NOW that he tried stock roms

I really thank you guys for all suggestions. I spent several nights trying to fix my phone and I really appreciate your effort to help me.
I never imagined that the official software update may end up with my phone bricked. I'm really, really disappointed with SE. The worst thing is, I bought my phone in the US, but I live in Brazil and our local SE only provides support for devices bought in Brazil. In other words, they won't even try to repair my phone. I'll think twice before buying other SE phone.

did you check the md5 sum of ftf file?
if not check it and confirm its a complete file.....
---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------
also try to flash it in safe mode....
Hi creative_md,
The ftf files are not corrupted. And I re-tried in safe mode a few minutes ago, but it had the same results.
FYI, here are the list of roms I tried until now - they failed when flashing amss.sin or system.sin:
LT15a arc_v2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic America
LT15a_2.3.4_US generic
LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(1247-1041)
LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic Global
LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62
LT15i_4.1.B.0.431[Generic World FR]
LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB
Is there any other way to flash the .ftf files? I would try fasboot, but I didn't find an .img with stock rom or a reliable way to flash all .sin files that are inside of .tft roms.
Thanks!

i searched a lot for you and most of times this problem got solved by ticking "no final verification box" and in your case its not working even though you tried .42 too. so at last try this:
start flashtool >get in flashmode > choose ftf you want
now tick boxes
wipe cache >exclude system >flash ftf
after flash again do 1 step with these boxes tick:
exclude baseband > exclude kernel >flash ftf
finally this:
wipe data >exclude kernel >exclude system > exclude baseband
if it didnt worked i suggest you now to do some modifications to your phone:silly:
i.e unlock your bootloader and flash roms using cwm i will tell you all how to do it. pm me for that
remember it will void your warrenty and it doesnt matter bcoz you dont have se service in brazil as you said
Thanks, creative_md. I was finally able to make the phone boot - here are the steps, if someone faces the same issue:
1. Flashed everything in the .ftf file using Flastool, except system (system.sin).
2. Opened the .ftf file using 7zip and extracted the system.sin.
3. Rooted the phone.
4. Flashed the system.sin using fastboot: fastboot flash system system.sin.
Unfortunately, I think there's really something else wrong with the phone, as it restarts randomly, several processes stop to work unexpectedly and it's not possible to update some apps (maps, facebook, flash player and youtube) - when installing the updates, the phone restarts. This behavior happened with two different stock roms.
This weekend, I'll try to flash some custom roms.

Fix with the latest FlashTool 0.9.9.0 (maybe bug on version 0.9.8.0) I got the same problem, SEUS brick my W8 when I try restore to stock. Retry several time stuck ini 15% progress. Get same result with Flashtool 0.9.8.0 with lot of ROM, always stop when flash system.sin part.
Just download and try latest Flashtool 0.9.9.0 maybe it solve the problem.

Your play is not dead ;-).
I don't why but for some reasons, I can't use all the Stock ftf's to get my play back to stock. For me only the HK version really works.
So maybe just switch the ftf file, restart pc first, and see if it gets onto your play.
Have you installed the drivers that comes with flashtool ?
- > But yeah, Flashtool + Stock rom ftf is the way to go.
For the future. Roms sometime work on locked bootloaders and others will not. Always read the dev's thread first . Saves a whole lot of trouble.

Stayed up all night and eventually got a 2.3.2 ftf file to fully install then had to install a proper 2.3.4 ftf and update through the installed update manager but i'm back up and running!
see we did read the rom thread but there was no install instructions at the start just the files and screenshots :S it was this one here we were gonna do the kernel switch after cause he said it would be fine to flash it first then do the kernel later on :S

If you're able to flash, you're not bricked. One thing is to make sure you are clearing data, cache and dalvik. That is often the root to the sort of issues you have had. My recommendation would be to find the correct ftf file for your model of Play and flash it back to stock. Get that working first, then go with CM10 if you like.

Hi I think you are flashing wrong file line 5 (03/044/2013 12:44:33 - INFO - Selected Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf) you need a stock ftf file!
I have used R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf file before found on this site somewhere might be wrong but would try flashing that file hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:

Scroll down to the downloads section.
thanks for that information, but i tried flashing 2 files, at first the relock bootloader ftf. because i read somewhere that flashing firmware with open botloader with "OTA" will brick your phone. so i wanted to be save and locked bl before flashing firmware. if you read on into log there is another ftf. and a failure notice. because i tried today so many things, my accu is fully empty (3 times red led blinking) so i hope itll load a bit tonight and i can go on trying to flash cm 9 tomorrow again. but this file should be stock firmware isnt it?: 03/045/2013 12:45:01 - INFO - Selected Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
its from uk, im from germany, but only want to boot once and than flash cm9, so i dont worry bout that. last flahing try come further than log posted already i think. ill try flashing that file tomorrow again, cause i think that flashing failed cause of battery was too low.

I'm sure as long as the led works theres life in it
Maybe battery dead
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Strange but true, the dreaded red light of death. To fix it u will need a spare micro usb.
→ Cut micro usb on the micro end.
→ Strip back the plastic to expose wires black(negative) red(positive)
→ get sticky tape an connect it to the positive and negative terminals on battery(they are marked)
→ plug it in to wall socket
→ 3hours or so battery should be ready to go
→ phone SHOULD boot normally
Its happened to me and one of my mates. Both our devices fixed this way, but up to u if u want to take the chance of ruining a micro usb

thats a strange way of loading battery. Luckily if got 2 usb cabels for my play, so ill give it a try. but my phone wont boot after doeing this, it will only give me the chance to try to repair it. an mobile without working rom wont boot i think. its unlogical that i cant load a phone without an working rom. i hope i dont make me crunchy if i connect microusb with electricity.

Ok goodstuff, just be careful and dont plug phone in untill u have the sticky tape on the battery. When your phone has enough battery then u can flash the ftf via flashtool

there are 4 cabels in my usb cabel, one is red, one black, one green and one gray/white and many metalstripes around them. do i have to connect the green and grey one also, or only the other both?
Off-topic:
how long do i have to do the image verification before i can answer?

i hope i did it right, ill see if i did it or not in a few hours. big thanks to all of you, i hope my play will boot soon

Good luck! By the way don't think you needed to have the battery in the phone to charge that way?Might damage phone more! Back to original problem can you get into recovery?(once battery full lol) if you can daft question but are you flashing cm9 from zip on sd card?Also can you flash other kernel's with fastboot ,DoomLords,Lupus,etc if you can try some of these and rom's to go with them.Get your phone stable with a rom before trying cm9/10 again.Also don't worry about locking your bootloader again as long as you do not update over the air you will be fine.I think your problems started when you tried to lock your bootloader again.:fingers-crossed:
Ye looks good but u dont needto have battery connected into phone as its the battery your charging.
Let me know how it goes

battery isnt connected to phone, its only laying into
EDIT:
@tallman, thanks, i hope i wont damage all
i flashed kernel and came into bootloader, but it showed failure notice i posted on first page of thread.
i hope i can flash stock firmware with full battery. after that ill try to flash cm9 again.
and yes, originally nonbooting was due to relocked bootloader
Edit2:
didnt worked, 3 red leds are there again. i think the cabels, especially the - cabel hadnt enough contact with the battery. do anyone know any tricks doing this better?
Edit3:
i cut now more of the isolation of the red and black cable away, so that i have more metalcabel to fix it on the battery. lets see if it loads now
If that don't work you can always buy a battery

i dont wanna buy a new battery if theres any other way.
maybe that would work: Sony Ericsson EP900
problem is that i cant find it anywhere. its on amazon, but its not available. buying a new battery isnt a problem itself, but i would like to buy it at a store, not via internet. and i cant find an market where i can buy an battery for xplay
Edit:
i hope it works now. i couldnt fix the cabels on the battery contacts with tape. now i pressed them onto the contacts and pushed battery into my phone. so theres an constant pressure and it loads hopefully
Weird I had same flashtool error the other day but it while flashing phoenix ftf and seemed to still be working, wonder if it windows 8 causing issues for me, different version of flashtool?

ive got win 7, and what version of flashtool do u have? i hope i can flash stock firmware today. Yesterday i couldnt do that because flash- and fastboot modes were only stable for 20 seconds or so, after this time green/blue led expired and my phone didnt showed any action
EDIT:
i think battery charged now, but i think also that i cut the wrong micro usbcable. one is thin and long, one is thick and big. i cut the short one because i thought they are the same cable. now my netbook doesnt installs the drivers for the cable, it only says "unknown device". with the other cable that i cut it worked. so ill have to buy a new cable and a new battery if i can find them anywhere. i hope ill be able to go to the nearest city where i can buy one. this will take some time because im living far away of next city, and my mother, wich drives there at least once a week is sick at the moment. so i havent got the opportunity to buy one the next few days :-c
Edit 2:
i got an new usb cable now. i was able to unlock bootloader and flash cm9kernel. now im trying to flash stock firmware just to make sure that my phone still works normally. than ill try to flash cm9 completely
Edit3:
cm9 runs now. great! bit i cant write anything with the virtual keyboard, and an phone without keyboard is completely useless. can anyone help me making the keyboard opening?
last edit:
the bug that my keyboard didnt opened was because i installed the wrong gapps. i installed jelly bean gapps, with ics gapps all works perfect

Hi,
plz help me make my phone working again. I wanted to flash cm 10 after manged to flash cm9. cm 9 ran after trying everything out for hours. Today i downloaded cm10 and flashed the kernel. after that i wasnt able to open the bootloader, so i flashed cm9 kernel again. That worked so far. i was able to open bootloader again, but it showed an failure notice whilst installing cm 9.
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "r800i" ......" this is copied with the endings r800i/a/at and zeus

I tried it a few times. Flashed cm 10 kernel, flashed cm9 kernel back, but its always the same failure notice. I would like to use cm9 again, it was good at all, but i wanted to update cm10 today. Please give me an how-to what to do unbricking my play.

I think you are very new to mod world and suggest you that first know the terminology of mobile developing fully like kernel, ROM, bootloader, factory (or Stock ROM) , baseband, android versions, custom ROM, what CM is actually etc etc before trying to kill ur phone!!!!(joking)...
same happened to me before a few days on my xperia play R800i phone but I was successful in restoring it back to CM 9.1.0 after unsuccessful try of restoring it to factory(Stock) ROM that came with it from sonyericsson.
Though there are many more experienced memebers but try mine at least once no harm...
1. make sure ur battery is full or 70% at least
2. put the CM9 ROM u downloaded in SD card in home directory(home means just put inside SD without making any folder on SD card)
3. enter into recovry mode (i assume you have clockworkmod recovery already installed)
4.do factory wipe/reset and then cache wipe
5.do dalvik cache wipe (u can do step 4 & 5 one or two times just to be in safe side)
6.install zip file CM9 (make sure you have stable version only) from SD card
7. reboot phone
I hope you should be successful now step 4 & 5 is important to wipe any mess that was created by CM10 if not successful then move the battery from phone wait for about 2-3 minutes and try again above steps u should succeed. good luck!!
So here's what I did so far... The bootloader was unlocked, so I rooted the phone, installed clockwork. I spent hours reading about kernels and the different roms but wasn' really getting anywhere. Since my phone needed to be taken to get repaired anyway I decided to just choose a rom and install it from the guide i was using.
I backed up using clockwork, formatted and installed, and it said it was fine. But when I reboot it just hangs on the Sony Ericsson screen, have to take battery out to turn it off....what can I do now? I can't load the backup image because it won't let me load clockwork. did this happen because I didn't install a custom kernel first?

flash your desirable rom, flash wifi modules and try again fresh

Your kernel is stock and bootloader locked? If so then download pc companion and do a repair and if your bootloader is unlocked then download a stock ftf file for your phone and flash it with flashtool. I had exactly same problem with flashing custom firmwares on my Arc s but after few tries I realized that i need to format every partition excluding sdcard in a "mounts and storage" sub-menu.

I think his bootloader is locked because he lost a recovery after flashing new rom. His CWM was probably installed with x-parts.
as I said... it wont let me go as far as being able to load up clockwork...
thanks pypcier, I'm trying flashtool now... but I get this error...

EDIT: it did that the first time, then i try the same way again and it gives me the previous error. would an older ftf make a difference?
You are sure that your bootloader is unlocked? Have you ever flashed a custom kernel using fastboot? If yes then try to flash custom kernel with recovery. If this wont help then try to update and reinstall your flashtool and download newest stock ftf for your phone.
I'm pretty sure it is, as I remember having a similar problem a long time ago and flashing it. problem is I don't have the old files i used before, and I can't find any downloads that work in my country..
Error code from your flashtool log looks like there is a problem with acquiring permission to flash a firmware and that suggests that your bootloader is locked. Try to download pc companion from sony site and do a repair. If your bootloader is locked this will restore your phone to stock and if your bootloader is unlocked then pcc wont recognize your phone.
just tried pc companion. it asks me to swipe the bar down, but as I can't get past the logo it wont work. so repair just hangs there...
What bar... I don't understand what you are talking about. For a repair with pc companion you don't even need to turn on your phone you just click update button and then small blue "repair" text in a popup window then firmware is downloaded and you are asked to turn off your phone and connect usb cable while holding a back button.
I found your previous thread and It looks like your bootloader is unlocked because OTA update bricked your phone. I have a link to a ftf you used last time to repair your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324707 (its inside of this archive with complete but outdated flashtool and drivers) but you should try a pcc first so we will be sure if your bootloader is locked or not.

Yep it's a good tool to return to stock and also to check if your bootloader is unlocked (Because it only works on unlocked bootloaders) Arc & couple other devices are supported but they are going to make more devices available:good:

Hello guys;
I have a big problem with my xperia arc s lt18i (one of my cousin to be clear), with unlocked bootloader
1) When flashing a stock rom with flash tool, the phone stuck at logo after rebooting
2) When flashing a custom rom, the phone stuck at airplane mode even if the airplane mode is off. There's no signal network and when i try to make a call, it's asking me to leave airplane mode before making a call.
I'v search all the forum and internet, try different custom rom, from cm7 to kitkat but still with the same problem.
How can i fix this ? :crying::crying:

Thank's Electrash for answering. I've try the method given in your guide to relock the bootloader with Blagus ftf file but it's not working (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324703)
I've not found another way to relock the bootloader.

I just found out that it is written ""au by KDDI is11s" on the back cover of the phone. After some search on the net, i discover that this phone is an xperia acro is11s branded for a japan network.
If then, am i using the bad stok files for flashing it ? why is it written Lt18i under the batterry place ?
I also found this thread about someone having the same problem (sorry, didn't saw that before) http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...lease-help-t2885229/post55617937#post55617937
I'll try to flash the rom given in the site that was suggested to him and give you the result later.
i have found the solution. It's was given in this thread by at0607 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49388077&postcount=18
Step to get your IS11S function fully but 3G (EDGE is OK):
1. Unlock your phone: you will need some money.
2. Download "IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf" & "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf" or Gingerbread version (google them).
3. Open "IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf" with 7-zip and extract "loader.sin" & "amss_fs.sin".
4. Open "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf" or Gingerbread version with 7-zip and move "loader.sin" & "amss_fs.sin" into it. Delete "amss_fs_ayame.sin".
5. Flash edited "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf" or Gingerbread version by Flashtool (mine is 0.8.5.0).
I just used differents files :
1. Already have an unlocked phone
2. Used "4.0.1.B.0.118.ftf" file avaible here (https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=AndroPlus&dl=AndroPlus/IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.118_au.ftf) and Lt18i_4.1.B.0.587_1254-8596_Generic_India.ftf avaible here (
3. Opened "4.0.1.B.0.118.ftf" with 7-zip and extract "loader.sin" & "amss_fs_akane.sin".
4. Opened "Lt18i_4.1.B.0.587_1254-8596_Generic_India.ftf" and move "loader.sin" & "amss_fs_akane.sin" into it. Deleted "amss_fs_ayame.sin" and simlock.ta.
5. Flashed this changed Lt18i_4.1.B.0.587_1254-8596_Generic_India.ftf with flash tool and youpi.
My phone is fully functionnal with ICS. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

you connecting phone wrong, do:
1.prepare ftf in flashtool. until window tell to connect phone (dont connect phone until then)
2. phone MUST be off. hold volume down when connecting. green led will light, flashtool start, be patient. can take long.
if still not work, download new ftf from link above. then its bad download..
good luck!

yes i can understand u i do also phones for many friends but sometimes even i get stuck bcuz some little thing i forgot...
but maybe this phone is hw damage... but from the log it seems something id wrong with the file so thats i said to redownload...
the thing is, you can wipe what u want, but still flashmode & fastboot should work. its like dl mode on sammy devices.
to check if you have unlocked bootloader, just power off phone & hold menu key when connecting to pc. if the blue led lit, you can open cmd in folder where adb.exe is (in android sdk) & type fastboot -devices. if its shown, you can try flash a kernel, or even unlock (if its lock), the imei is on the sticker behind the battery
if you once unlocked boot, it will stay unlocked no matter what u wipe or flash. you can manually relock boot, but if not done this its unlock 100%.
