HELP NEEDED ASAP: Bricked Arc after Unlocked & OTA Update :-(

Hello,
I recently unlocked the bootloader on my new SE Arc the other day so i could root it. After rebooting the phone it said there was an update available OTA so i updated it not realising that it could seriously damage your phone & it updated, rebooted and now nothing.
It didnt switch on or repond to anything except "Back" and "Power On" - When i done this with the USB attatched i managed to get the x10 Flash tool to work with it so i sent it the LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_GenericUK.ftf firmware and it sent fine but the phone still will not switch on!
Now everytime i press the power on button the LED flashes green on the right hand side.
Its the Xperia Arc on Vodafone with version 2.3.2 originally.
Please please can anyone help! Does it mean that it is totally useless now?
Thank you

Did you look at this thread, youre not the only one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106250

I'm not sure if it helps, but i recently bricked my phone but a different way. But it was doing exactly the same as your phone ... the Green LED would flash briefly then nothing happens... what I did was disconnect the battery then powered on to discharge any static charge left in the phone, I then connected the battery and connected it to the mains to fully charge the phone. After that, I re-flashed and disconnected from PC and powered on and booted just fine.

I think you are lucky J has found a fix !

triangle with yellow exclamation mark

hi guys i need help asap been trying to research for three or four hours now and i am completely stuck.
The story is i have an arc s generic uk model which was on .42 firmware. however obviously being rooted and stuff i removed system apps etc and i recently i got the ota notifcation for the newer update which obviously cannot be installed unless the firmware is untouched.
now i backed everything up so thats not a problem. I decided to flash .42 firmware via wotanclient and well my phone was fully charged. after flashing had finished i disconnected the usb switched on my device and i got the yellow exclamation mark with the triangle. I found a thread whereby SEUS solved this problem but for me SEUS is saying installation failed please ensure battery is fully charged.
I tried to flash a generic us .42 firmware and well im having no luck. Ill attach the log to this post. im not sure if this error is because of the lt18a and lt18i differences or if it is something else. I also tried doing a straight flash to .62 firmware via wotan but i keep getting errors and im trying to download the ftf file but im having no luck. i dont care about root anymore as long as i can get my phone running again. help me please ive been trying for hours and im stuck. even if i put my phone on charge im in a boot loop to the exclamation point and back all over agian.
thanks in advance.
willing to donate to anyone that helps me solve my problem.

I've got my phone running however all I did was root my phone and now I can't install the .62 ota update. It keeps failing and I haven't done anything at all apart from root.
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk

Hey,
When you say it's failing, are you still getting the sin error?
Which version are you using?
I was getting the exact issue on my UK (tmobile) Arc, but I managed to get it working after using the top .62 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
If you've unlocked your bootloader, OTA updates won't work.

That happened with me once, I accidentaly flashed an LT15a firmware on my LT15i. Just flashed the right firmware again and it worked tho.

dude try the old flash tool

[Q] XPERIA S... Its life Jim but not as we know it (HELP!)

Ok so Im travelling around Colombia and need a smart phone to keep in touch with my folks back home as I'm out here for a year. All hail to the Xperia S, perfect for my needs and I have loved it since the 30th of Dec from whence I bought it. Turns out the phone is an import from the UK my homeland so ironically 1000s of miles from valid Sony care, but hey what can go wrong?
Well actually few things, as the camera went faulty on Sunday. I read many forums and followed all the advice up and to the last option,which was to reinstall the already upto date software. So I did via SUS. The update seem to go fine until I turned back on the device and reached the twinkling Xperia logo. Unfortunately thats how it stayed and after 30 mins, I hard reset the phone... DOH! I think maybe I should have left it longer in hindsight? Anyway I tried the reinstall again only this time left it alone. 5 hours later still no change, in fact in the end it ran out of battery with no changes, just Xperia Logo. FECKY DOODLES.
So I spent a day yesterday reading through all your related forums like a good little boy and trying various fixes. Initially via SUS then PC companion and then via Rootfix using stock roms (this gave me boot loop)

* Please note I had previously rooted the phone via BIN4RYs S root, could this be why I cant update via SUS and Pc companion? I was under the impression that using these would give me back root status.
I'm at a loss now and feel I've exhausted all possibilities, I have since used the SUS update again and managed to bring the beast out of its boot loop state.
Is there a way I could unroot the phone via Rootfix and then try again the SUS update?
Why did I get error flashing using rootfix ?
Might there be a hardware issue, Ive read quite a few motherboard failures and is there a way to test this?
I would be wholly appreciative if any of you fine fellows could lend me your doctoring skills and bring this illusive creature back to a life worthy of living.
Kindest regards
JIM

Download flashtool and the relevant ftf file for what firmware you need and flash it

Yes I hard reset via power button and volume up for 10 secs and get the triple vibrate but I always get the flash error. BL is locked as I have never unlocked it.
Also I tried the unroot option in binary4root but it say device not found, I guess becuase I cannot access the device properly anymore

sorry mate no idea then

Ok so quick update
I downgraded flash tool version from 0.9.10 version to 0.9.5 version and guess what, The flash was successful with no errors
but now Im back at the Xperia screen exactly the same as with SUS update.
How long should the phone take to boot after the update?

for me, after reflash, it takes 3-5 minutes...

OK thanks so basically whatever I use to reflash I always end up stuck at the Xperia logo screen.
This is very disheartening.
If the problem is that it is rooted, how do I unroot the phone if I cant actually get past the logo screen??

you stuck on SONY screen or Xperia screen ?

if all went fine it shouldnt last more aprox.. 5 minutes more or less
does the phone vibate in bootnig process usualy its a sign that it will bot all the way...
have you tried PM some senior member or developer who had simmilar
problem ?
it shouldnt bee rooted if you flashed firmware again you suposed to loose root that way
since yor bootloader is locked and phone is able to conect i dont think its total brick

if you still have root and can pass the sony logo you should bee able to go in to CWM by tapping the logo or volume -
have you tried?

Thanks for reply
No vibration within booting process
It Stays at Xperia screen logo
Regarding CWM , Im sorry I dont know what that is. Do i install it via rootfix?
Ps I have looked for others with same problem everywhere but cant find anyone that I can address

You didnt running any custom roms or mods? CWM is a clockwork mod recovery, so yu can flash mods and custom roms after root, so if you didnd install it you cant enter it. All abut root and CWM is in development section of xperia S in this case
Sorry man, i was thinkig if you have it maybe you could restore backup but if you didnt i dont know what next
Wish you luck and hope youll find solution!

Hey big THANKS for al your suggestions!!
I was keeping away from Cutom roms and mods and stuck to the official updates, Ironically to prevent anything like this happening but it turns out that ever since an official SUS update my phone has been bricked.
If anybody else knows of anyone in or have had similar situation please get in touch.

Thanks Man I think I cracked it and for anyone else that finds themselves in a similar position, I finally gained access via a GB rom namely this one http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/S... (LT26i)/STOCK ROMS/GB/LT26_6.0.A.3.76_TW.zip
I flashed rom via Flashtool and GB loaded up fine.
I am now using native SUS to upgrade to available ICS 6.1.a.45
Its upgrading at the moment and starting applications but seems to be going fine.
Fingers crossed.

download loader.sin file, this for XMS or this for XMD.
then extract C200X.zip or C190X.rar to C:\Flashtool\devices\ folder

thanks guys for Ur support.my problem is solved.....this was the driver problem on windows 8.so i tried on windows7 ..and successfully flashed..bt facing some issue..battery draining faster and while charging ,the phone is hitting..why this is occur????
and how can i flash 4.4 rom?

i think 4.3 is draining faster than 4.1.2,
u need to unlock bootloader in order to install 4.4, because there is no official release, you can use CM rom, or any other custom rom for XM

Yes, i unlocked my bootloader and downloading 4.4 rom... Bt why my phn is getting hot while charging

many things can cause that, easiest method is turn your phone off while charging
