Use flashtool to flash stock ftf of your model.
Sent from my R800x
i di that but it said that you sould install drivers and i installed them but it always gives that error
when you start flashtool dont have your phone connected. just click the lightning symbol then click flash mode. select the ftf file you need to flash. then when it asks for you to connect it in flash mode turn off phone then hold the back button and connect to usb. it should go thru.
thanks
thanx for youre help i have my phone back:laugh:
now booting my phone
Not a problem man.

Hi, i recently upgraded my xperia arc lt15i to the new ics software, all went well and everything working fine so i decided to root the phone which i managed to do with no problems. Being the tinkerer that i am i decided to move some files from my phone memory to sd card. Bad idea! My phone locked up and is now stuck in boot loop. I tried to flash the ics firmware but cannot do it because i need to turn on usb debugging which obviously i can't do. Is there anyway i can resolve this? The annoying thing is that i can see the files i moved on my sd card when plugged into my laptop if only i could transfer them back to phone memory all would be good. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Phil
Use aroma file manager from the android dev forums. It'll let you move files in recovery.

Aroma File manager can be found in the Android themes and apps section (not in Arc themes and apps) i think so..
To boot into recovery press the volume down button while Sony Ericsson logo (name) is shown

Ok, so i've found the aroma file and copied it to sd card. Now I can't seem to get my phone into recovery mode. Also how will i know my phone is in recovery???
You'll need a kernel that has cwm to get into recovery...
So flash a new kernel on and then press volume down on boot screen to get into recovery. Though this means you'll have to unlock your boot loader
I tried flashing new software to my phone but it wouldn't have it because usb debugging can't be turned on, will i have the same problem trying to flash a kernal?
Cheers
How do i flash a kernal with cwm to my phone, do i need to have fastboot on my computer? I fear i am getting out of my depth! i need an idiots guide!!
Flashing a kernel doesn't deal with usb debugging and all.. First of all, tell me whether your bootloader is unlocked or not! Then I'll explain in steps!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Neither u need usb debugging to flash a new firmware or to upgrade the current rom..
for flashing purposes only fastboot or flashmode are required..
download the ics firmware ftf file and flash it via flashtool..
At Gire.prasad, I haven't unlocked the boot loader so i asume it is locked.
At now.i.feel. I tried flashing ics firmware again via flash tool but it wouldn't do it, it came up with an error saying it can't connect to my phone.
Thanks
Yes Yes Yes, my phone is back in action. I just flash ics firmware using flashtool again and it worked fine. i tried this the other day and it didn't work so something i downloaded from all of the posts must of helped.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou
It has been a learning curve and i have learnt my lesson. Not to dive in too deep too fast!!!
Thanks to you all again for your in put.

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
Any help?
Have you backup ?
Did you install a custom kernel ?

No i didnt back up and I bought it second hand. It has DoomKernel
Flash a ics kernel and report back. It might be a wrong kernel/rom combination

Just try flashing a new kernel, depending on the Android ROM you are using.
I'm unable to flasha new kernel. When i connect the phone to the coputer in fastboot mode it doesnt recognize it. I'm trying to flash the ArcKnight one.
When i plug it in to the computer in fastboot mode (blue light), the computer says USB device not recognized
Did you install the drivers for the device properly? Like, the flash-tool-drivers? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087
Mephistho is right. But if you want to make sure and be safe with it, use sony flashtool to install official fw then you can start your way up from there.

I tried to connect the device to my PC via USB but nothing happend at all
the computer didn't see any thing

Did you install a custom kernel? Or if you habe recovery installed? If so you can just boot back to recovery and start over.
Actually the phone can't load to recovery

Often when i instal a new rom the recovery is removed
I have to reinstall new recovery from Xparts
Flash your stock firmware via flashtool.... Then start over
Xparts is temp solution to Cwm
If you don't wanna lose recovery unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel
Don't worry it can be easily fixable ..
If your BL is locked then do this ! :
Turn off phone (pull the battery out then take back)
Install PC comanion softwer to your computer
When it is installed then select software repair
When it say connect phone the do this :
Hold the back button while you plug the usb cabel in !
Then follow the instructions in the PC companion than you finished !
If it is not work try to do with flashtool SEARCH for a guide there are many for it (for example flashing frimwares with flashtool ) !!
Sorry for my bad english /it is late night for me.. xD
Here a video for PC companion repair : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiaFGbeGOr0

use flash tool again and flash proper ftf file in flashmode if it is not flashing then connect mobile in fastboot mode and blue light will come up then use fastboot mode (click thunder icon then fastboot after light is blue)then select kernel and flash it after that again flash full ftf in flash mode

remove batery after 10 seconds place it. now open flashtool and select correct firmware then flash. it shows preparing device. after 1 min it says to "connect phone in flash mode"
now only you have to connect your phone to pc it's important for bootloop devices.
press and hold volume down + connect usb
phone led turns into green

I've flashed the kernel using fastboot.. And it shows me failed message when writing boot saying that command doesn't have blablabla.. Is something wrong? Or i have to open flashtool with administrator?

well make sure you install drivers for fast boot else it wont work
drivers are in flash tool folder C:\Flashtool\drivers in my case its here if you have used default settings look and install and select fastboot from list when installing
Download any ROM (Best is Cyongen or LiquidSmoooth)
Download a rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode and install .zip file.THAT'S IT :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.Hit thanks button if I helped you
Bro if you have C2004 means I am ready to give my nandroid backup you can easily restore with Cwm no worries about flash mode other model means pls specify model no I will try...

Which TWRP img file did you flash? Jelly Bean or Lollipop one? Which os version are you on?
Well if your firmware's messed up, fastboot probably won't detect it. Think you need to get stock firmware and flash it via flashmode in Flash Tool but if its not getting recognized at all then that's a dead end.
Did you try reinstalling all the drivers via Flash tool to see if the phone gets detected?
