Bricked phone

I was having trouble rooting my phone so I tried flashing a kernel that wasn't for Xperia Arc. Now when I try turning the phone on the two lights beside the home button shine and nothing appears on the screen. In Flash Tools when I plug in the phone nothing happens and the log has

The button lights working that means your phone is not bricked.
Just repair your phone with pc companion.

It gives me the message "Sony Update Engine doesn't have software for your phone."

I tried Flash Tools again and this time I got it to work and Flashed a proper kernel. Maybe I got confused last time since the screen didn't turn on and thought the phone was off when it was on.

Question [Q] Xperia Play Fastboot Not working any answer?Help Please:)
To boot to fastboot your phone must be turned off. Press and hold Menu button, plug in USB cable to your phone and plug the cable to the PC.
If your LED turns blue you can release Menu button - you are in fastboot.
(To get to flash mode it's the same procedure, but you hold Back button and LED turns green.)
So, boot to fastboot.
In Flashtool click thunder icon and choose Fastboot mode:
Now click 'Select kernel to Flash' and locate your kernel which you should put in firmware folder of flashtool.:good:
The second part of your log you was connected in flash mode (Green light) not fastboot mode (Blue light)

Sorry I posted wrong button to press yes it's search button for fastboot on Playare you pressing and holding the search button don't just press it! If it is not going into fastboot by holding search button are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?I would suggest installing fastboot drivers again but this would not affect booting from the phone into fastboot mode which is your main problem!
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------
Try this go to flashtool /drivers folder press flashtool-drivers exe to install tick drivers for your phone but also tick drivers for flashtool and fastboot they are at the end of the list try that because sometimes people forget to install them:good:

Did you do exactly as above go to folder windows/flashtool/drivers run the program in there again (fastboot .exe) tick the drivers for your phone tick drivers for flashtool & fastboot they are at the bottom of the list.
It sounds like a driver problem to me do above see if that works

Did you tried every advice that other users in here gave you? That one with the kernel flashing and then ROM flashing it's actually a good idea.

can i flash kernel using "flashmode" in flash tool ? and where can i find kernel to flash, "fasboot" mode don't work, i think

Open Flashtool, press the lightning button,choose fastboot. Now connect the phone while pressing volume up.

Afterall, if your phone is still dead with the way given above, try to repair it with Sony Update Service (not PC Copanion)
Note that it will wipe your data (internal storage will not be wipe)
if u really wanna keep your data, maybe u can backup with update service

[Q] Xperia Arc S boot problem after update

Hi, I have Sony Xperia Arc S LT18l.
Earlier I decided to update to 4.1.b.0.587. I got a picture of an open box with an arrow and 4 dots underneath. Then the screen went blank, so I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed. Now it won't start, only response I'm getting from it is if I hold power button and back button down at the same time when it is not connected to a computer the LED will blink green and the phone will vibrate and go black. If I hold the power button and back button down when connected to the computer the LED turns green and stays green. The computer says device driver unsuccessfully installed, when I click on that a screen will pop up saying my device driver's name is S1Boot Download.
What should I do?

I see, you made a over-the-air upgrade, which is ROM update directly from the phone, either over WiFi or 3G.
Did you have unlocked bootloader? Because if yes, then that is the cause for that issue. To fix this, check the tutorial in my signature on how to unbrick your phone.

Well that is all correct except that I'm not sure whether my bootloader was locked or unlocked, I've had it for about 2 weeks and never fiddled around with bootloader. Is it possible it came unlocked?

Currently, I can only think of one solution: Download Flashtool, download a stock firmware package (aka .FTF file). As you are using Android ICS 4.0.4, then you might want to search for 4.1.B.0.587 or 4.1.B.0.431 build versions.
Checked my files, I found 4.1.B.0.587 for LT18i: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rhr59r4o6oarnfx/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).7z
You will need 7-Zip to extract the FTF from that. Afterwards, install Flashtool, then look into Flashtool folder (by default C:\Flashtool), install drivers (Flashmode drivers). Further on, open up Flashtool, click the lightning button, Flashmode, browse to the FTF file, then make sure to untick "Wipe data", "Wipe cache", "Wipe apps log". By that, you will keep your personal data in your phone and they won't get lost.
If you have any questions, just ask. Once you are finished, let me know of the results.

Ok an update
I tried what you said above again, this time ticking the TA. Everything went smoothly, it said flashing was finished and for me to unplug and start my
phone. The phone vibrates after holding just the power button down for about 2 seconds but remains blank...

Final update
The phone is back to working. I flashed the .ftf in unbrickxperia2011.zip and then flashed 4.1.b.0.431 firmware. Phone is back to normal with no lost data. Thank you very much for your help.

check,
drivers installed
usualy not having drivers causes this
also power +volume up may be useful (force turn off)(one buzz then 3)

Not sdk drivers.. Just install PC Companion.. Your drivers will be automatically installed.. And i see your mistake.. Just don't let go of vol up button until flashing starts.. U can notice the progress when % increases.. Until that occurs in your flashtool, don't let go of vol up button.. Hold it..

Start flashtool64 with admin
go to flashmode select LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World.tft
exclude TA
click OK
*preparing for flashing*
plug in phone when holding volume down, and hold it
green led appears.

after that my phone reboots and freezes at the kernel boot

go to my computer / flashtool and in there are drivers to install, make sure you have flash, fastboot and necessary Xperia drivers all installed

Dont let go of the button.. vol down button.. Hold it until u see progress in % below on the flashtool.. Check once if u got all the drivers or not like Ben said.. If u have all the drovers, then go ahead..

i don't know what is wrong but i just installed LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Generic_(1257-6921).tft with flashtool on my old windows 7 pc.
i unplugged the phone as it said and start it, but its just the same as before? its stuck in my kernel i believe. it just says Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean with the JB image. am i just stupid because somehow it won't succeed

Did ICS flash successfully? If it didn't then you haven't installed drivers properly.. If only JB isn't flashing properly then its the problem with the file.. try reinstalling flashtool.. uninstall the old one.. reinstall.. reboot your pc.. start fresh.. change usb port and see once..

are you?
1 wifi all data and cache in flashtool?
2 using the same ftf every time u have the problem?

how can i wipe without selecting a tft, i must select it and check the wipe boxes.
proberly i do something wrong but i don't know what.
the flashtool drivers are installed with all the sony xperia s , fastboot and flashmode , pc companion is installed.
EDIT: the strange part is... i can flash LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Generic_(1257-6921).tft with flashtool, with no error.
but i can't flash LT26i_6.1.A.2.45_GENERIC NL.tft or LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World.tft.
and if i flash the 1st one, after its done my phone just remains the same , it shows the custom kernel, its not a sony kernel. its from my previous rom.

nope, it stops everytime its processing kernel.sin
i think something is wrong with windows 8 and drivers? but they are all installed.
flashtool drivers -> select all 3 the sxs drivers + fastboot and flashmode. pc companion is installed.
but sometimes i do get the error that pc ( neither pc companion) does not recognize phone.
btw do i have to connect phone when i install flashtool drivers? become 2 out of the 5 wont install becuuse there is no device connected that can be updated says the wizard
EDIT: in windows 7 i get all drivers of flashtool installed succesfully, but the same errors always appears.
