So i've had the arc for about a week now and really don't get on with it, mainly the lock button, i've nearly dropped the phone a few times trying to press it.
Anyway my phones being replaced and Ive installed the latest update, unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, obviously the phone can't go back this way. Whats the easiest way to get this phone to a working (retail) state.
Relock the bootloader and then update via SEUS to get back to stock.
And there are widgets that help turn the screen off. I use Widgetsoid.

you can unlock it with the home button
Seriously, you never thought of pressing the Home button?

...monkey! hahaha, How you never press the Home button??... My daughter knows how to unlock the phone.. (she's 1 year old...).
hello, please help if you can.
i have a xperia arc s and i did not rooted it or installed any custom rom, i just have the stock rom that came on the phone.
my problem is that a couple days ago i was charging the phone with it turned off, and now everytime i try to turn on the phone, it just wont turn on.
i mean, i connect the phone to the wall charger and it says that the battery is full, but when i press the button to turn it on it just wont.
my solution has been to remove the battery and then reinserting it again, and that way i can turn on the phone, but that way is just to annoying, and i wonder if anyone has had that same kind of problem, and if has been able to find a solution and solve it, or if perhaps there is nothing to do except take it to the tecnichal assistence.
please if you can help me, this situation has been driving me completly crazy.
thank you in advance.
when you do turn on the phone and it works normally, does the phone shut down automatically or do you turn it off yourself?
hello, so far as i can see, the phone doesnt turn off by it self. i am the on o turn it off
Use the sony ericsson update service to repair the phone.

i am affraid you wont understand my previous reply because my english is really bad so i write again,
the phone dont shut down automatically, when it turns off, its me who turn it off.
but now i notice one thing.
now after i remove and reinsert the battery again like i said, i can still turn on the phone, but now it is taking much more time than the other times i did that.
maybe all i can do is taking it to the technical assistence, but i want to be sure that there is nothing i can do, because i have friends who took it to the assistence and came back with the phone even worse than when they took it.
so please if you know something that can help me i really thank you.

hello mate. i tried what you said but still no joy. maybe i did something wrong so tonight after i come back from work, i will try that again.
even if it doesn t help me i thank you anyway for trying to help.
cheers.
So yesterday i tried to flash a new kernel (nova kernel) using cwm and after attempting to reboot, all i felt was a vibration and then nothing happened. Is my xperia s bricked? and if so is there anything i can do?
What works:
1. Able to hold power button and feel the single vibration; however, the screen remains blank after that.
2. Able to soft reset and hard reset but it does nothing
3. Able to connect to pc in flash/fastboot mode
4. Able to flash kernels and firmware (flashed full stock .55 and wiped everything, still no progress)
What doesn't work:
1. Screen will not turn on no matter what i do
2. Phone will not charge (no led, no screen)
3. CANNOT ENTER CWM!
Any help is appreciated.
Sounds almost like you're battery is dead toss it on the charger in a situation like this it can take up to 5 hours for the phone to boot.

that could be it...but i doubt it because when i flashed the kernel it was about 98% battery and i haven't been able to turn on the phone since. that plus i've left the phone charging for 8 hours last night, which ended again with no led and no screen...
i'll keep it plugged in though and see if anything happens

yeah, but after flashing i still can't boot. i can hold the power button and feel the vibration, but the screen remains off (no splash screen, no nothing)
Well I'm out of ideas ik a hard reset is suppose to be like taking out the battery but maybe it just needs to die

After you try to boot do you get any screen response? Like backlight or a quick blink. After turning on with no screen, does the pc recognize as usb drive or mtp device? I was just thinking maybe screen failure.

when i try to boot, i only get the one vibration that signals the phone has turned on (or in my case attempted to turn on). i can keep pressing and holding the power button multiple times consecutively and still get the same result. it's like the phone turns on and then shuts down immediately.
i only get led notifications when i connect to the computer in fastboot or flash mode, other than that i get nothing.
Try reading through this ion softbrick recovery thread. There are tricks in the OP that users reported work.

looked at that thread, nothing works. closest i came to something was plugging the phone into the wall for a while until the red led came on, but then it just turns off after 2-3 hours and i'm back to square one
Some have had to leave it plugged into charger for days. Then got green led, flashed and it started.
This is just one way these phones act goofy during soft brick. You just have to be patient, as all who have recovered have said.

Well great news phone is back and running great
I had it plugged in for about 18 hours then the Red light came on.
24+ hours later the Red light was off. So I tried to flash, nothing. It was just a wasted attempted and I nothing happened.
Plugged it back in, ~2 hours later the Green light came on and I could press Power to have the Battery Screen come on.
Flashed it and it worked! Thanks for the support!
I'm not sure why the Red light went off. I'm thinking maybe the cord was bumped and the charger wasn't plugged in all the way?

i've left it in for 13 hours, but still only the red led though. i'll keep it going and see what happens though
Maybe you should flash your xperia back to the stock ROM. You can do that using the official Sony flashtool: http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/ . Just watch the video and (hopefully) you will understand everything. After flashing back to stock ROM you can decide what you want to do with your phone afterwards
Hopefully this solves your problem!

i tried one of the posted solutions, but in doing so i find that i can't even enter into fastboot/flash mode anymore, and i can't soft or hard reset. i only get the solid red led now when plugging into anything (pc, charger) and the phone is unresponsive to any of the buttons.

i have this exact same problem in this thread, the highlight being that the screen doesn't turn on at all, while others have been able to get to the sony logo.
it seems that everyone that has this exact problem has not gotten any solution yet.

exactly, the other problem is that sus and pc companion both won't repair the phone because the bootloader is unlocked.
i've flashed the relock bootloader ftf and it still says the same thing which is weird.
UPDATE - 46 hours and still only the red led!
Hi guys,
I need your help. My brand new (2 weeks old!) Xperia Acro S bricked by itself!
I was browsing the web when the screen went completely black. I tried to do a hard reset (pressing power + volume up) because it worked many times before that (it was not the first time that the whole "black screen crash" happened), but the phone was completely dead.
The local Sony assistance told me (after keeping it for 6 weeks ) that they won't repair it because the phone is not currently sold in my country (I won it on Facebook).
As of now the only thing that is working is the charging light when I connect it to the charger.
The phone was absolutely and completely stock, NO rom, NO root whatsoever.
Please tell me that I did not win an extremely pricey paperweight!

Did you tried Power button + Volume down button? If not hold Power button + Volume down button for 10 seconds. It should work.
Double Post, sorry.

The phone is not out of charge, it is completely dead. The only thing working is the LED notification light that turns red when connected to the charger.

Try Sony Update service. HERE is download link.

Unfortunately it doesn't. I connected the phone while holding the volume down button pressed but nothing happened.
I have the same problem with xperis S.
It bricked by itself.
The only one noticeable thing i remember that when I last seen it a few minutes after it was working that the light was flashing blue and the black screen. After it it newer switched on.
Now while charging, the light turns solid red and nothing more. No flashmode. No fastboot mode. Tried to remove accu. It did not help. Sony update service and flashtool does not see the device.
There was stock firmware droid 4.0.4 and root. Nothing more. Everything worked fine. No updates were done before it bricked.
Is there any way out?

As of now there is no way out, you should contact your local sony assistance.
It would be great if you could tell us what was the cause of the death of your Xperia.

when you press volume down and connect it to pc through cable
u should be in flashboot mode and seee some drivers installing
if you don't get any response from the phone then its a total hard bricked
you will need to send it to warranty or a repair center
if possible box will be able to revive it but if not your pcb needs to be replaces
Thx manzza, the day after tomorrow I will go to sony repair center which will fix my phone? I don't know what happened to me
