which kernel do you have and also you can flash without touching the phone itself...
Use flashtool to flash back to stock...hold back button to go into flash mode...
First of all make sure the phone is off,
then hold the search button for 5 secs and put in your micro usb cable,
download the stock firmware: http://www.xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/234-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
open up flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
use a tuturial like this one: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/ if you don't understand how flashtool works
if everything went right your phone now boot's up
I recently flashed CM9 to my phone, but now i want to move on to JB, but for some reason i can not get into flash mode to write a different FTF.
When i I try to get into flash mode, I power the device off, hold the back button, and insert the USB cable. The LED on top flickers green then the screen comes on the the charging screen.
The same happens when I try to use fastboot except blue light flickers.
I have tried diferent computers, cables and OS's im not sure what else to try.
Download flashtool and install the drivers for your phone then leave your phone and enable unknown sources and enable usb debugging then open flashtool then press flash icon and select fastboot mode then plug your phone in then select reboot into fastboot mode via adb

I ran the driver utility and even when I send reboot bootloader via adb, the LED only flickers blue for a moment, then it boots to CWM.
I didn't think the drivers on the computer would change if the phone goes into flash mode or not though.
Default Cant Get To FastBoot or Flash Mode
You would need to be in flashmode (green light) to install a stock FTF not fastboot mode has suggested above. Have you tried flashing another version of CM9 with your phone via cwm and then trying from there see if the problem is not your rom.If not it could be a driver issue.

I know i need to be in flash mode, i just reinstalled cm9.1.0 and it still has the same problem. I dont know what to do. I have tried multiple cords, I have used ubuntu ,win7 and win8 with the drivers installed and reinstalled. Im worried that my phone is broken.

(1) Have you installed other roms before your problem started did this only start after installing CM9
(2) Have you flashed any other kernels before CM9 or was CM9 your first rom/kernel flash
Noticed on your first post you wrote that you hold the back button then attached the usb did you do this when flashtool said or before, you need to connect the usb exactly when flashtool tells you to like below step 5
(1) How to flash a stock .ftf Rom
(2) load & place .ftf rom in Windows/flashtool/firmware folder
(3) Open flashtool press lightening icon press flashmode
(4) Select your .ftf you placed in flashtool /firmware folder earlier
(5) Wait! Flashtool will tell you to connect your phone!
(6) Press & hold back button while connecting phone to PC green light will come on.
(7) Wait while flashtool starts flashing your stock rom.When finished it will tell you to reboot
(8) Finished unplug switch your phone on done!
Sorry if you already do it like this but some people forget and connect the usb too early Also I would recommend downloading a different version of flashtool some people have managed to get there phone working by using a older version of flashtool:good:

(1) yes, i have installed several roms before CM9 and i was always able to enter flash mode.
(2)I have tried doom kernel and several other kernels as well
I have waited till flash tool prompts, but IIRC id didn't matter in the past, flashtool would see what mode it was in and proceed.
Thank you for the descriptive reply.
Did you try a older version of flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1375894152000

I just tried versions 7 and 8, it doesn't seem to help.
I feel like this is something wrong with my phone though, I remember the phone being able to go into fast boot and flash mode at any time, as long as the computer was on. It is really weird how it flashes the color on the LED.

I so this quote on another thread similar problem to yours this is what he did:
Quote: Funny thing though is that in order to get into either mode, I have to remove the battery while it is plugged in and then hold down the corresponding key while inserting the battery and the corresponding light will then light up. That seems to be the only way to get into the modes. And sometimes this does't work, but it seems to work more than not.
This guy did this to get into fastboot and flashmode worth a try?

no luck... The light only blinks then goes into charging mode...
Edit:Is there a test point or something that would force the phone into one of these modes?

I read this for another phone and it is a shot in the dark, but if the boot block were zeroed out, it forces it into fastboot. If this can possibly work, what block device is the boot partition?
I will not bee too disappointed if the phone is bricked.

Hi guys!
I have Sony Xperia Arc S.
Is it possible to put it in a Flashmode without a "Back" button? My BackButton is broken, I think it is a road-wire on the button's board.
BTW Fastboot mode working fine.
ok in the new update every thing wod be the same just use new kernal in place of 4.4.3 kernal from zip
Download new kernal here (From Second Update)http://d-h.st/mxn

then after try this method
it will work

is every think ok out there ???
thanks for sharing this, it works as I did the most same way except making everything packed greatly as what you have done
the best of this was you made all files in one, extremely good for ones do not have 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 ftf files in hands
I guess most of guys do not want to try flash-power off-flash...
Maybe what you mean is only kernel,not the entire ftf file,right?

At step 4 you only flash the 4.4.2 kernel, (deselect everything else) not the entire .ftf or you'll end up with 4.4.2 on your phone. Similarly, at step 10 you only need to flash the 4.4.3 kernel, not the entire image.
You forgot to mention that an unlocked bootloader is required to use flashtool.
developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader
Also, if you unlock bootloader you lose warranty so backup TA partition before you proceed to keep warranty.
Well written guide. Success here. Rooted now.

bought this cheap xperia z1 compact off a friend, never used a sony phone before so i thought rooting and installing custom firmware would be same as other android devices, the phone was running lolipop and i used kingroot to root it and then used flashify to install a custom kernel without knowing the device requires bootloader to be unlocked now my device wont turn on at all it vibrates 3 times and flashes red led if i press volume up +power button, i have been reading stuff online no solutions to my problem. tried flashtool but i cant get the device to recognised on the flashtool or get into recovery mode. which ever volume button i press and hold and try to power up it flashes 3 times red led. also tried volume up/down plugging into my laptop still red led. so can this device be unbricked or is it good as dead?

If bl is still locked, official Sony repair software might work, (but not sure if it will recognize that it was rooted and reject it). It's been a couple of years, but it used to be called PC Companion. You go to 'software update', and there's a 'repair phone' option.
Besides that, Flashtool is definitely your best bet. It takes a little setup, but not too bad - install Flashtool, and in the Flashtool folder is a 'drivers' folder, with a drivers.exe file. Run the exe and check boxes for 'fastboot', 'flashmode', and 'Rhine'. Let the drivers install, then connect phone in flash mode, (power off, hold volume down and plug it in). You should get 'installing device driver' popup. Click 'skip windows update check', and it will find the drivers already on computer from Flashtool. Now you need to download an ftf. Open Flashtool, and click the 'XF' button at the top. That opens Xperifirm. Find D5503, and click whatever regional fw you want. Now it will download and unpack. Whole thing takes about 10 minutes. When it's all done, open Flashtool, and select '' at the top, then choose 'flash mode', and navigate to the ftf file you downloaded. You need to double-click all the way down to the actual file and you will see all of the empty fields on the screen suddenly get filled in. If you want to go ahead and flash the whole thing, just click 'flash'; it takes about 10 minutes. Since you really only need the kernel, you can go to 'exclude' box and check everything except kernel files, then click 'flash', and it will be done in less than a minute.
Really appreciate for the information. But i just can't get flashtool or the pc companion detect the device. I don't know how to get it detected

Hey Levone. This bootloop thing has happened to me too. When i use flash mode, the led flashes green and then red, and nothing happens. I have my bootloader locked, and i flashed a new version of supersu, and got a bootloop. I lost my recovery, my OS, everything. I tried to get a stock firmware through xperifirm but that had a weird problem (some of the filenames were too long, so windows decided to not let me get that firmware). PC Companion does not recognize my phone. Could you help me?

I think you're not powered off. Hard to tell with black screen. Try holding power and volume up for a few seconds, and see if you feel 3 vibrations. The you're powered off. Then try to connect in flash mode. Flashing a bad kernel shouldn't hurt your flash mode or fastboot.

Did you follow the drivers install instructions above? The green flash is a good sign, even if it doesn't stay lit. If you have the drivers, (and adb too, I think), you should get 'installing driver' message.

Yea, i got the "installing driver" message. It installed the driver "adb interface" or something like that. I don't remember what was it called, but something with adb in it. I will try using flash mode with flashtool, but i need a firmware. It would really help if you could get the ftf file from your phone and upload it to mediafire or somewhere where i can download it.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it
Hello! My brother years ago tried to root the phone and get bricked. I think hard bricked. Now I plugged it to the PC and get red light and is charging. But as far as I know I get bootloop when I turn it on. How can I fix this? I downloaded and installed flashtool but is for 64 bits computer, and I have 32 bits. Thanks!
If I press volume up with flash tool I get blue light and nothing more. Volume down a less than a second green light and nothing happen

Good news is it's not hard bricked. Now ro restore the phone, you need to download ftf file for your device and flash it through flashtool. If flashtool is 64 bit only, then you might need 64 bit pc. And yes, sony has removed ftf file from the servers, so just search here on xda if someone has uploaded ftf for your region.

I do it my friend. I download tft for my version, flashmode then select TFT, go to flash and nothing happen until I get an advice to enter to flashmode (unplug the phone, press volume down, plug the phone). I do what it says, a green light turn on for half a second and nothing more happen...I don't know what to do

Maybe it's because drivers are not installed. Go to flashtool folder and then drivers folder and then install drivers from it.

I downloaded from Sony's page. But I don't know how to install it. In the version I downloaded of flash tool doesn't have the drivers for Xperia M, or if they are with other name can you tell me what it is please?

It should go by the name nicki. With that you should also install other common drivers also
