Stuck on Sony Logo (help please) - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I think I have bricked my phone, and I am looking for some help please I rooted and intalled CWM on a unlocked bootloader Xperia Arc S lt18i
This morning I flashed Beautiful ics 4.2.1 via CWM after doing all the wipes date, cache,dalvik,battery and then installed the rom.
When my phone came back on no led lights flashed and the sony logo is stuck on the screen. I have tried going in to recovery by holing down power button and pressing the volume down button but it doesn't work. I have tried connecting phone to my laptop but it doesn't see it any more.
I don't know what else to try,
Any help please.

Best install stock firmware by using Flashtool (or flash custom kernel so you have root already) and start all over again.
Be sure you wipe everything before flashing a new rom.

You get into recovery by pressing the volume button repeatedly when the boot logo shows.

I had exactly the same problem with this rom but with stock .587 fw on locked bl. Installed it using method for installing Ultimate HD rom (Wipe Data/Factory Reset; Mounts and Storage --> Format /System; Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats; Install zip from SD card) and it worked fine.

Bricked Phone?

My friend was trying to flash Pay's ROM, on his MD525 Deblur.
He rooted it correctly, he then made a backup using system recovery, then he flashed it to 3.4.2-164 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite in bootloader mode..
After that he Re-rooted it again with SuperOneClickRoot.
Then he installed 2ndInit recovery installer.
When he was trying to flash the ROM.zip.. It showed an error, because 2ndInit 1.6 doesnt support Pay's rom.
He then tried to restore using system recovery.. the restore was successful. but when he rebooted, it is stuck at the red motorola logo and aftter 30secs it reboots again. and the process continues... So is it bricked?
I think he can now install the Nordic 3.4.2-177 and use cyanogen mod on it..
That can unbrick his phone right?
PS: Sorry for my bad english!
Wipe data in stock recovery, and than reboot and flash SBF via RSD...

How to wipe data in stock recovery?
Anyways.. he flashed the sbf and he is now installing cyanogen..
I heard that the battery drains fast with cyanogen rom is it true?
If it is.. then which ROM he should opt to?
In Beta 5.1 battery drain problem was there, but in Beta 6 peoples say its solved....And i m using MiUi.

To get into stock recovery:
Turn off the phone
Press the down volume button together with the on button.
When the phone turns on, and you get a droid image, touch the bottom right corner of the screen. If nothing happens, press the up and down volume buttons together.
This will get you into stock recovery. It has wipe data menus.

Thanks for the Reply.
His phone sbf version was 2.59 eclair.. he directly flashed it to 3.4.2-164.
He lost the downgrade ability right? Or else can he still downgrade?
After successfully installing cm7, he made a backup using system recovery..
Now again the phones is stuck at the red motorola logo.. its stuck frm around 30 mins..
he also tried removing battery and rebooting but non working..
-Download 2ndInt Recovery Installer from Market or from Xda
-start the app, click install, wait for the led to turn green, disable usb debugging in the settings and reboot 2 times.
download CyanogenMod7 and put it on sdcard
- wait for the blue Led and then press "Volume down"
- "[Open Recovery] start."
- wipe "data/factory reset"
- "install zip from sdcard" ->- "choose zip from sdcard"
- reboot
- wait for blue led "Volume down" and then choose boot "[2ND-INIT] boot"
- done
Double Post..
Thanks for the reply!
But pls read my post again.. After successfully installing cyanogen mod 7..
He thought to made a backup, and after successful backup using system recovery.. after the reboot the phone was stuck.
Now he flashed it again to 3.4.1-177 sbf.. it completed successfully, but still it is stuck at android logo now.. What should he do?
After installing CM7 did choose [2ND-INIT] boot...?
Now the prob is that he was flashing the sbf on low battery.. I told him to recharge before doing that.. he didnt listen.. now his battery is not charging..
Try wall Charger...
Still cant get it to work.. Scared of doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
So any other methods?

No idea other than this...Sorry
The battery problem is fixed now..
But now it is stuck at the android logo..
What happened is I was trying to make a backup using system recovery on cm7..
The backup was successful.. but from then it is not booting up...
tried wiping data/cache and factery reset.. still doesnt work..
tried to flash again with 3.4.2-177 nordic rom.. it shows booting 100%.. and also shows to manually power up this phone.. Still it is stuck at android logo..
Got everything under control for now..
Thanks for the help guys..

[Q] How to boot into recovery on lt18i

hi, guys. im sorry if im posting in the wrong thread but i need help w/ booting into recovery for my arc s.
ive downloaded and installed CWM but whenever i tap "reboot into recovery", it simply reboots the device and doesnt give the command prompt-esque sceen.
help needed real badly. thanks in advance.
Press back buton a few times as it's booting
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
hm... tried that but it just boots the phone normally.
tried just pressing and holding "BACK" and consecutively pressing "BACK" to no avail.
Have you installed cwm from market then installed into phone.
What I mean is cwm has a 2 stage install 1 install app
2 open app and then click install on to phone.
The shut down menu will not show reboot option. you have to shut down then restart manually when you see sony logo press/spam the back button constantly until cwn loads, if this not work try using down volume button again spam/ pressing continually
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
make sure that CWM is installed correctly
On xperia Arc S you need to press a few times the VolumeUp and VolumeDown buttons as soon as you see the FreeXperia logo. You'll notice that the led becomes violet when you're entering into recovery mode.
got it working, guys.
downloaded Xperia CWM Auto-Installer from market and worked like a charm.
thanks for all the help.

works great
First you'll need a rooted and CWM supported kernel. Shut down the device. Press the power button and wait. When the boot logo came wait for a little vibration. Then press the Back or Volume Down button several times. There you go. You're in Clock Work Mode Recovery.

Q- Arc s stuck on SE boot logo

Hello
I have an arc s stuck on the SE boot logo, even after successfull flashes with setool.
Clean board and no damage .
What could be the probleme.?
*Edit:
Cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power)
What did u Flash ?? locked or unlocked bootloader ?
It belongs to a not so smart friend,
so he doesn't know to tell me ...
I know its hard to guess a problem but what could I try?
all sow cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power).
ok Download Flashtools .
Then Flash a Framework file which is a .ftf file to the cell with flashtools. I think then it will be ok ...

hmmmm....i think its used for bootloader unlocking. ( not 100% sure though )...
just do the things i mentioned & u r phone should b (fingers crossed) running A ok.
Just for your referance of the Frameworks :-
Build no. Android Version
4.1.B.0.431 --> 4.0.4
4.1.A.0.562 --> 4.0.3
4.0.2.A.0.62 --> 2.3.4
Get flashtool download the lt18i firmware and flash it.The phone should be ok after that.Locked or unlocked bootloader it doesnt metter .U can find the stock 4.0.4 ics on the general section of the forum
Nop..
again the same thing, stuck on logo..
The flash went OK with no errors, but still its stuck on the Logo.
Use SEUS, should do the trick. However, bootloader should be locked and phone should not be rooted.

Xperia arc s not booting after flashing custom rom.have i bricked it?

I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.

which build did you install it? if you did first install you need custom recovery from your rom and then you can install cm to your devices.
first you need FOTA Recovery for your primary recovery, see in this thread for installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58515383&postcount=1
. i suggest you to install twrp version 2.8.7.0 and turn on your device, after that connect it to your pc via adb and do dd if command.
after complete, restart your phone and go to recovery mode and you can flashing safely without any worries again
if you have any question just ask me again

As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...
(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, because stock kernels doesn't support extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )

As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...
(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, 'cause we don't have stock kernels supporting extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )

I tried this recovery. Nothing changed...my phone still crashes when the cyan LED appears...
But I've noticed that the Sony Update Center want to update my phone to 15.4.A.1.9 even if that´s the firmware that im using. I´ll try to find another .ftf and report if its working or not
Edit: Nope, still wont work

i'm sorry i'm new to check it now. that's old recovery mode, i mean cwm so that's maybe will make problem on your recovery.
you need old twrp boot.img recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57652965&postcount=1
here's the link. if you use cwm recovery you will got problem when try to flash cm 12 or cm 12.1 file because old signature verification
. try it and tell me the result

Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? Try to power on your phone first until get to home screen and reboot it to recovery
