[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S won't boot up.

When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your question is too general. Did you do anything to your phone?

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.

you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Well, there are scripts available that can relock the bootloader...
Link-in's method works too.

Whoops, guess I meant I flashed an FTF... lol. Something I found on YouTube.
But yeah, I've run into another problem; while rooting the phone (using this guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957), I think I've bricked my phone again. I didn't enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources, so it got stuck at Daemon Started Successfully. Haven't been able to boot into my phone since. Sorry if this problem has been solved before, wasn't able to find the solution while searching that thread.'
EDIT: ...sorry again, managed to stumble my way through and revive my phone.

flashing ICS

I'm not understanding how to get the flash tool running. I downloaded Doomlord's and it is just one file. I can get the phone into flashmode but nothing happens. please help.

Click the button top left that looks like a lightning bolt and follow instructions on the pop up window for flashing

From the original thread on Flash and Root ICS, there were 2 links, one for Flashtool 0.9.0.0 and one for Flashtool Update 2012 Xperia.. The update is just an update, not the entire tool. All you need is the Flashtool 0.9.0.0 is has the updated 2012 xperia files already. I think the second link is for those that already have Flashtool to update it with the most recent xperia files.

That is correct. One is for the full install and other is for updating.

Weird i used .080 and didnt update and it worked fine first try

Drop the FTF right in the Flashtool window, check your options and OK. Flashtool is going to ask you to disconnect your phone and put in flashmode again anyway, so no need to do that before hand.

when i plug my phone in nothing happens nothing starts and i don't know what to start. no flashtool windows nothing. is there something i should have open on my computer?

Open flashtool on your computer, drop ftf, check options, click ok. Then follow what flashtool tells you to do.

Only difference is for the ion you hold volume down when plugging the phone in to start the process.

This is getting a bit painful. All this has been covered numerous times, in a few threads.
You should read all the past before proceeding.

drivers are in the flashtool package. Search the forums because the answers are already here just takes some effort sometimes to find them.

Thank you guys for all yourhelp and for putting up with my noobness.

[Q] R800x won't boot even after flashing stock firmware

I unlocked the boot loader and I'm assuming the phone automatically updated over night, because now it won't boot, only vibrates. I tried using the flashtool and even though it says it does it successfully, it still won't boot. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 referenced but the file it links to is not up. Can some one reup the file some where or give me some other advice?

Well does the led flash red 3 times?

I am pretty sure your phone can't update automatically:fingers-crossed: with Sony you have to accept the update.Try flashing ftf stock rom found hear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399 this will bring you back to stock.

Hi just noticed you tried that! Follow the guides on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SE_Xperia_Play I have found them to be useful

Whoops! No problem you can boot your phone into fastboot via flashtool/doomlord's fastboot via ADB you don't need to press search button for that.

[Q] Unlock Bootlader Driver help!!!

I followed the unlock bootloader steps, in which I have to install the fastboot and usb driver.
But when I connected my phone via fastboot mode, it only connects as fastboot for 5 seconds or so, before reverting back to normal usb connection.
I can't the drivers also, even if I try to install it as soon as I connected it.
Any ideas on how I can solve this?

download flashtool. install. go to my computer - flashtool and install the drivers from there. sometimes they're just a pain to get working

I tried to install fastboot with flashtool, but it ended up as installation failed. Maybe its due to I'm using Windows 8?

could be. there's some guide somewhere about windows 8 because loads of people have had problems with it.

Press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. Then try connecting your phone in flash mode and flash the latest firmware using Flashtool.

Can you please describe the problem in detail? If you're having driver problems, then go to the drivers directory in Flashtool's folder and open the driver installation exe file and install the drivers for xperia s.

Is your boot loader unlocked? If yes, then you should be able to connect your phone in fastboot and flash a custom kernel so that you can access cwm and flash a rom from your internal storage.
If your boot loader isn't unlocked, then download Sony's official software called Sony Update Service and do a re-install of the phone's software. Installing SUS should take care of all the driver problems too.
