Hi,
i tried to install one of the custom ROMs for Xperia Arc s (JellyBean_V03). I have stock ICS 587, rooted. I installed CWM through X-Parts. Entered recovery, wipe/factory rest, wipe cashe, dalvik and than flashed jellybean_v03.zip from sdcard. It stopped at "initializing update" and than it showed ERROR "status 7". I tried one more time - the same. Restarted phone and now it's stucked at SONY logo. I can enter fastboot and flashmode - i tried different kernels - still no luck. I Flashed Baseband V77_Global.TFT - no luck. All of them are flashing with some kind of errors, after witch flashing is continued. I dont know what to do. I've read a lot of threads about it but i cant find a clear solution and i dont want to do more damage Now I'm downloading SEUS - i try that one, but i dont know if its possible to run it if my phone i detected only in fastboot or flashmode.
Any help would be appricieted
Hey again, trying to delete this link. SEUS helped.

Hey,
i flashed through SEUS, than recovered everything, than rooted again. I didnt try to flash any other firmware until i find out more about locked or unlocked bootloaders, cuz i think this is my problem.
duythanh28:
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service, run it and it will guide you through the process. It will install the latest, stock firmware, wiping all the data.
thanks for your helping, i will try when i go home

I have the exact same problem. They say flash a new rom but how can I flash a new one if windows can't recognize my device? I can't enter flashmode nor fastboot. BTW, did you fix your's?

Have you tried another computer or USB port, formatted your PC even?

Download SEUS from SONYmobile website and follow the onscreen instructions. You should be fine. And - as XperienceD noted - try another USB port if SEUS wont be able t revive your phone.

I had encountered this problem once before.
After trying to flash a custom ROM,PC Companion and SEUS doesn't recognize device.
Flashing stock ROM did the trick.
You should try it.

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck
the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!
Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....
same problem here
To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.
Xperia Arc LT15i, last installed was FXP150 - CyanogenMod 10 Android 4.1.2
- which I was using for almost 2 weeks without any reboots or crashes nor any setting tweaks.
Yes, I have tried checking through a lot of searches and googling, haven't found any solution so far.
I had initially rebooted my phone to recovery using the option within the OS. It went on and loaded CWM, there I just looked around the menu, and clicked "reboot system now". After that the phone started booting, but after the FreeXperia screen, just displays a blank screen and gets stuck there. I re-entered CWM, and tried rebooting, still won't boot the regular OS. I tried re-installing FXP from sd-card (the same one that I had installed 2 weeks back) but now it won't install that release either. I tried toggling signature and re-installing, it still doesn't install.
I tried connecting the phone as mass storage through CWM, but my laptop won't detect it. The adb drivers don't work despite being installed correctly. Fastboot is the only thing that seems to detect my phone. But I cannot install new ROM using fastboot.
Please help.
Switch off your phone (if you can't try battery pull)
Use flash tools and install stock firmware and follow onscreen instructions
(Search and download ics stock firmware
Connect phone in flash mode by pressing back button and connecting)

Is there no way to make it work on FXP from this point itself ?
I was kinda hoping I could get it to run FXP directly....
If you can access Cwm get a complete back up and then after installing stock after installing Cwm you can restore...
But the best way is to flash stock and install fresh to avoid problems

CWM is already working, and the sd-card already contains the package too.....

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?
You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

Try pressing back key instead of volume down. This will work.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery
Good morning,
Yesterday, I tried to unlock and root my friend's Xperia Arc (LT15i). Although it was running FW .62, I did manage to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I installed CWM, emptied the phone (I thought) and installed the Xperia Ultimate HD ROM.
Unfortunately, I think I forgot a detail. I wiped data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik, but after the installation of the ROM completed succesfully, rebooting the phone keeps it hanging at the Sony Ericsson logo. It seems to be hanging right at that moment, because the problem is that when I then press the Vol.Down button, I'm not getting back into CWM.
I tried to use the "Unbrick" option to flash an original .ftf file via Flashtool, but then I get the "Error in processHeader: 1 Incorrect function".
Can anybody give me a clue on how to:
a) get into CWM
or
b) restore the phone so I can try again
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: is there a way to get in the bootloader and go to CWM from there? It all seems to be so much more difficult then on my own Nexus S

FW .62 is gingerbread ROM and UHD is ICS ROM.I think you forgot to install ICS kernel. Use the suggested lupus kernel for UHD or any other ICS kernel in Fastboot mod or using flash tool then you can boot into ICS.

Oh crap, I didn't even think about that I figured it would be implemented in the ROM. Thanks a lot, I'll try that right away when I get home! :good:

Flashing ROM doesn't flash kernel.You need to flash kernel if you are flashing different version of ROM like Gb,ICS,JB. Flash kernel,then go to CWM and flash ROM zip.
I recently got my Xperia M updated into 4.3 JB and rooted it. Since I had my eye on the cm11, I had to unlock the bootloader. So I did everything perfectly as prescribed in the sony developer site. As I unlocked my bootloader, I tried to normally boot it but it is now stuck in a bootloop. I installed CWM by fastboot thinking that it may help.Please help me!!
thats normal... follow steps
1. flash ftf again
2. boot once
3. install cwm
4. flash anything u want

Another question: After installing CWM there is no bootloop but it shows only sony logo ,then the phone goes down and can be booted again when battery is reinserted. Is it normal? Can I still flash it without any problems?

The same problem after I installed cwm. After that everything was back to normal.
Thanks everyone, now I am relieved a little.
I cannot flash it. When I connect the phone in flash mode after the flashtool has prepared the files an error comes that processing of loader.sin finished with errors and flashing is aborted. Please help me!!
Can flashing a custom rom using recovery help me beacause the flashtool won't work using any of the ftf files?
