Hi guys, i have a question, i have a Arc S with stock ICS so i tried to root it (flash the 4.0.3 kernel so i can root it), i tried to flash the kernel via flashtool, it gave some type or error and my phone rebooted but after the sony logo it appeared an rectangle with an exclamation mark and turned off.
I've tried to flash via flashboot the previous kernel 587, and via flashtool but no sucess..
Pc companion doesnt recognize the phone cause the Arc turns on but turns off after getting to the triangle.
Is it bricked? :x
Thanks.
___________________________
I downloaded the recent Arc S rom (587) and flashed it via flashtool and it worked! No more triangles!
Sorry for opening the topic, hope it helps future users in the same situation.

Hey, I just tried rooting my Xperia Arc with this guide --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
And after flashing the first firmware, Its stuck on bootloop and i dont know what to do, It won't let me proceed onto flashing the device and im panicking heelllppppp
Don't panic
When you stuck in bootloop. You have to flash stock rom by flashtool, or "repair device" by PC Companion (Rather flashtool) - and than try root again
or leave it, if Your'e scared modding again
btw. use "search" - many threads are solved

Where can I download a stock rom? and also how do I repair on Pc companion? I've gotten so many phones into bootloop in the past and never known what to do

---> Stock roms

how to fix by PCC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692172
but like I told, flashing by flashtool is more friendly and easy I think (put the ROM in "FIrmwares" click "bolt" icon, select "flashmode", select firmware, waiting for notification, plug phone and waiting for fresh system
Thanks I actually fixed it omg;D Thankyouu :3
my pleasure :victory::good:
I own a Sony Xperia Arc (purchased on June, 2011) and it doesn't work anymore without any explanation.
When I turn on the phone, it appears Sony Ericcson brand and then, mobile network carrier brand, but then, instead of appearing home, it appears again Sony brand and an infinite loop goes on.
At first,I tried to solve the problem with the Sony tools like PC Companion and Sony Update Service.
Then, I tried to do a hard reset (back + menu and power), but nothing changed (the same bootloop).
What would you do now? Would be useful trying to flash some firmware? I have been reading posts about flashing firmware, bootloader unlocking and rooting Xperia Arc, but I don't now really what would be the best move now.
For your information, I haven't applied any kind of official upgrade before, neither I have tried to root the phone or flash any custom firmware, so I had my phone as it came from factory (with Android 2.3.2). Moreover, I haven't installed any suspicious application, just typical apps like whatsapp and so on. By the way, the phone haven't suffered any crash neither wet.
I have attached the log I have taken when I try to turn on the phone (I get the same log again and again, at the end of the log it reports some problem with memory, I hope it's not a hardware problem):
Try using the Flashtool and report back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

Xperia arc problem
Hello, i have a problem since i tried to update my xperia arc to the last kit kat build, i flashed the kernel before installing the new rom, and now it simply reboot after legacyxperia logo, and when i tried to go to recovery menu it enters but doesn't show any options, only show the hat with the refresh symbol. If you can please help me.
Thank you, have a great day
Xperia Arc
4.0.4/4.1.B.0.587
Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted
Guys,tried installing a custom Rom Omega on the 3rd.Nov,a couple of days ago.Followed every word the OP on how to install.Aroma popped up and made some choices and then rebooted into recovery.When phone switched back on only the SONY logo was there and it kept on repeating.Made some enquiries from members.Was advised to flash original firmware which I did.When the phone booted up,this time SONY XPERIA and kept on repeating.Been all over the place searching for a way to overcome this problem.
Came across an article on google:Recovering dead/bricked phone xperia arc -in that article there is mention of taking the generic global 4.1.B.0.587.zip file and extracting it to a .tft file and flashing it onto the device.This I am unsure of as I have never come across a .tft file.I've been unable to go into the main screen to make any changes to enable USB Debugging,Unknown Sources and MSC Mode if need be to flash again because when I tried doing it again the process aborted.Even tried to Relock bootloader so that SUS or PCCompanion would recognize the device
so that I can be able to get out of this mess I created.Unable to find a solution.Need urgent assistance.
You have to download the .ftf file (it's in the zip) on to your computer and flash it by using a tool called Flashtool.
Also flash stock kernel back or advanced stock kernel.
