[Q]Problem with shuting down phone [Arc S] - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i long press hardware button for shutting down phone, screen just fades to black and phone restarts. I can only shut down phone with software app. Yesterday i flashed ICS .587 cause i had boot loop(i tried unsuccesfully to flash custom rom). I don't remember this problem happening before that.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I assume that repairing phone with pc companion would do the trick, but is there any other solution?
Thanx in advance!

Come on people, nobody had this problem? :crying:

Flash a stock ftf, and report back, sounds like you've been cross flashing mods.

Full wipe and reinstall the ROM you are using. But get sure you do a full wipe!
If not, like already mentioned, go back to stock with a ftf file.

[Q] Xperia S bricked ?

I was installing cyanogen mod 10 via CWM and everything went fine until I rebooted after installing. The phone would not reboot in to android.
The phone is stuck on a black screen with no power light showing - it vibrates if I try a hard reboot but that is the limit of what it's doing. When it was plugged in via USB the computer installed a couple of drivers but that's it as far as any form of life goes.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
CM10 only works on unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked, use PCC or Update Service to repair your phone.

Do this -
1. Download stock ics ftf and prepare to flash it using Flashtool by androxyde
2. Press and hold the power and volume up combination until you get 3 vibrations
3. Now holding the volume down key, attach the usb cable and allow the flashing to get completed
4. Turn on your phone normally after the flashing and enjoy
Thanks.
I used the sony update service to get up and running again. As far as I was aware the bootloader was unlocked but presumably it was not which caused the problems ?

It happened because you have not unlocked your boot loader properly.

To turn it off completely, press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be completely turned off. Now in order to unlock your bootloader, kindly follow this guide - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Good luck

It sometimes takes longer time to work. Did You get any sort of error on flashtool? Like error while flashing loader.sin? Also, does the phone get warm on the back side?

[Q] Phone in not starting after installing custom rom

I have installed CyanogenMod 11 custom rom to my Xperia Arc S. After flashing boot.img through flashtool, device got shutdown. Till now everything was fine. But after this the tutorial said to start the phone and after the phone vibrates, start pressing the volume down button. I did the same. But after vibration, phone is not showing anything. It shows dim light on screen but its not showing either the logo nor its starting. The LED light on side turns to purple but nothing happens after that. I did this with every button but its not starting. Pls halp me out....
Thanks...

Tell more about this. How did you do it, what happened, what buttons did you press etc etc.
Yes. I have installed kernel for it via flashtool. Initially after doing this it was not going to recovery mode and also it was not getting connected to flashtool. But now it is getting connected to flashtool in fastboot mode. So tried to flashing with 10.2 version, it showing finished but again the same problem. Its not going to recovery mod.
as in, HOW did you flash the kernel exactly. Dont just say you used flashtool, how did you use it? What combination did you use to get into fastboot? Any errors in flashtool? How did you boot into recovery (I.e. which keys did you press) and does the LX kernel logo even appear on boot?

First check does that kernel has built in recovery...If nothing works,to get your phobe to work flash stock .ftf file with flashtool.
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
And try one more thing,when you turn on the phone start pressing volume down (-).)!

I think i have the same problem as OP.
I decided to try out LegacyXperia CM11 and installed it yesterday. It went well, but it is still kinda buggy so i decided to go back to besttt's Slim Bean. I copied rom files on SD card and went to flash kernel (darkanzuEOL). I flashed it through Flashtool like every other time and it went without errors so i proceeded to boot into recovery so i can flash the rom. This is where everything stopped working normally. After i power on the phone and press voldown to enter cwm it just gets stuck on cwm loading screen. If i dont try to get into recovery it just bootloops. I tried several kernels i have on my HDD and always the same result.
I'm downloading stock img to flash and see if that will help. will let you know what happens.
EDIT:
Stock img worked, now i'm back on slim. Only other thing i changed ( which i think is the cause) is i used original sony usb cabel instead of my Nexus 7's i used originaly

rollback firmware again with14.3.A.0.769 with flashtool, but the problem still there .
Hard to tell. Are you sure it is not hardware related? Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

When you use flashtool to flash .ftf, are you sure you selected to clean and wipe all things?
Not sure but I guess your problem should be the recovery in newroot. Thought the root works but that recovery doesn't compatible with .108 and may cause reboot. But it's wired you can't restore the recovery even with flashtool?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54297393&postcount=5
Try my step 13 and 14.
thanks for your reply. but yes When i use flashtool to flash .ftf, i'm sure selected to clean and wipe all.
i already done. the recovery work normal. philz and TWRP too. try to boot to system via recovery both with philz and twrp, it work, but when i tried to power off. it stil goes to sony logo again. it still don't want to shutdown.
i don't know what to do right know. if i want to turn off. i have to hardreset the phone.

Then it might really related to hardware because there is nothing we can do now. Just let it to standby and don't turn if off when you sleep because the idle performance on s800 CPU is amazing, it won't drain you any battery over night.

Xperia Play not able to boot

Hi. I have an R800i which I rooted some time ago. Up until recently it has been running ICS with a Lupus kernel. I then flashed 2.3.3 UK ftf from here and it seemed to work. It prompted me for an OTA update and I started it. After downloading the update and rebooted, the phone displayed a black screen and a progress bar (nothing odd, seemed as though it was updating) and after a couple of minutes it turned off. Since then I haven't been able to turn the phone back on. I would press the power button and all it would do is briefly flash the green LED and vibrate, but that's about it. If I would hold the power button it would do that every couple of seconds. I cannot access the recovery menu either. It may be worth noting that by connecting the phone to my PC it would start in flashmode (blank screen), so I tried reflashing the same (and some other) ROMs using Flashtool but with the same result. Up until now, flashing ftfs through Flashtool seems to be the only thing I can still do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Phone does not boot please help

Hello, so what happened today is that I was just surfing on my phone and it started to reboot frequently. I was using PAC-ROM. Then it rebooted another time but it shuts down after the SAMSUNG logo appears. It kept doing that. I decided to install another rom (cyanogen) and I had trouble installing it because it kept doing the same thing, rebooting frequently... I finally installed it. Then I installed some apps and used the phone for about 20 minutes and did the same thing... Can you please help me out guys?
Thanks alot
Are you using a case that is pressing against the power button? If not, the phone could have a bad power button.
