ARC S stuck on sony logo after installing new rom - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my sony ericsson arc s and then installed a costumed rom from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993)... after installing the rom my phone restarted and i only get stuck on the sony logo
I searched the internet to find solutions. Everyone said to connect the phone to the pc and use flashtool to change the kernel.. however, my problem is that the phone is not recognized by flashtool, nor by the pc companion... i tried pressing the back button, i guess i have tried every single way to get the phone to turn on.. but the pc never recognized it.. the only thing i get when switching the phone on is the word sony in white with a black background and the phone gets stuck..
Please tell me what i should do to fix it.. i also tried something called stool but it never recognized the phone.. btw,, the led lights don't even turn on

Bootloader is locked or unlock? Locked bootloader CAN NOT change kernel. Search unbrick arc s. You need to restore stock rom via flashtool.

i have got same problem

Use flash tools for recovery

If your bootloader is locked, just restore using SEUS.

[Q] bricked my phone updating. cant do a thing

edit: fixed
chronopolis said:
Hey guys, I have a sony xperia play and I recently rooted it and was in the process of updating when it shut off (I have a bad battery). Now, I cannot do anything on it...no flash mode, no fastboot, no hard reset, no anything. When I plug it into flashtool it just says device not found. I have also had no luck with wotanclient or pc companion. Please tell me there is a way I can fix my phone?
EDIT: managed to connect to flashtool in adb and fastboot - still cannot get in flash mode however
this is as far as i can get in pc companion

Start up Sony Ericsson PC Companion, dont put in your phone, click on support zone, phone software update, repair phone (highlighted in blue), let it download some stuff, select xperia play. Follow instructions
I am not able to do that, pressing back+plugging in the phone doesnt do anything besides show my sony ericsson logo. No green light or anything. I can get it into fastboot (which i dont think will help, my bootloader is locked) and ADB. Right now it looks like if i have a chance of saving my phone, it is through ADB using some sort of command

you hold back first, then plug in phone (still holding back), you get a green light, this happens even if you brick from bad updating

Im definitely holding it, it just isnt working. It still just boots to the "Sony Ericsson" screen and stays there.
Is there a way I can force my phone into flash mode, either with adb or with fastboot? If I had it in flash mode I could just install a new stock firmware with flashtool
sigh...it wasnt really bricked. well it was, but i can get into flash mode...my usb cord was broken(it would only recognize if i wiggled it). I am running SEUS now and crossing my fingers

Bricked...Tried Flashtool,SEUS,SEPC - Locked Bootloader

I installed the cwm recovery released today for locked bootloaders and forgot I did and tried to reflash using SEUS(I was tired) - May have been my battery level being 45% ish ... This bricked my phone... I've tried flashtool with uk generic 2.3.3 & 2.3.4 it gives me the same error about turning on usb debugging - I can't -_-.SEUS tells me to charge my phone to 50% + - when i charge my phone the light simply blinks green or bootloops to after the sony erricson logo where I see the phone with the exclamation mark...
Start up Sony Ericsson PC Companion, dont put in your phone, click on support zone, phone software update, repair phone (highlighted in blue), let it download some stuff, select xperia play. Follow instructions
SEPC = Sony Ericsson Pc Companion ; Tried it . Thanks anyways.
How about wotanserver.com? You can flash the firmware for free on there. It was fast and easy when I tried it out.
wotanserver does not work.
Well, if none of those methods work and it's just bootlooping, you might just have to take it to your provider with a blank look on your face and say "I don't know WHAT could have happened! It just started doing this for no reason!"
Sorry, friend. I hope you can find a way to resolve this. Sounds nasty!
Well, SEUS finally decided to fix the phone after i tried 7 times in a row - was opening+closing it before. Thanks for your help anyways!

With what did you try to upgrade and how? It seems your update has gone wrong, as you state, it got terminated in the middle? Probably if you connect through fastboot, or flashtool for windows, you can put in a new kernel and the rom. It seems your phones kernel is broken too. It should be fine once you install a new kernel and rom.
For how to do that please look at one of the tutorials here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320872
Hope it'll work out for you.

I'm probably not the best person to help with unbricking but have you tried following the unbricking guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 ?
Assuming your PC has the correct drivers installed (i.e. you could previously connect your phone in flashmode), what happens when you try connecting the phone while holding the Volume Down key? Does the LED light up green, red or not at all?
Fix is simple ...
1 Install flashtool drivers
2 the problem from the kernel !!
Install stock kernel ( take it from FTF ) and install it via Flashtool ...
Now it should be fixed

my sister's xperia zl phone just stay on turning on and off.. it just stuck on boot, stuck on the sony logo.
it all started when i tried to root my phone using rootgenuis program. while rooting the device it suddenly restarts and stays at boot.
i didnt install any cwm or unlock bootloader, nor install any recovery. i just use that rootgenius program. Please help me.
Hi, all you need to do is go to the Sony website to recover your phone. The update software page has a repair option. There is also a reset button near the sim tray. Hold it down till the phone reboots.

search for the FTF file of your country. flash it using androxyde's flash tool. there are many guides in the forum about flashing. no rooting or unlocking bootloader necessary for this.
i tried what you said and it fixed it.. thanks alot for the support, it really help me alot. i love you guys.. hehe
Now new problem arises.... the phone works but if i try to remove it from charging it will turn off on its own. even if the battery got 40% it still turn off on its own and wont turn on unless i plug it in on a charger or pc.
