its didnt apear there !!!

Alternatively, you could flash official firmwares. This is the Latest ICS Firmware.
If i'm not wrong, you will need to install Android SDK and Flashtool.
After you installed Flashtool, locate the installation directory and install the drivers. Follow the video below for the flashing part

Hi you can check sony forums there a couple of threads about flashing stock ics in your arc

Don't complicate your life even more. The guy above told you already. Use Flashtool, and flash official ROM (.ftf format). It doesn't get any easier that this really.
0. Before anything, install PC Companion, or Sony Update Service, for the drivers sake.
1. Install Flashtool.
http://androxyde.github.com/
2. Download official ICS ROM.
https://hotfile.com/dl/167361348/43349db/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf.html
3. Move downloaded ROM into C:\Flashtool\firmwares folder.
4. Run Flashtool, click flash button, choose flashmode, click OK, leave everything defaultly checked. After few seconds it will ask you to connect your phone in flash mode.
5. Turn off your phone (charged above 50%) and connect it to your PC with back button pressed (flash mode).
6. Flashtool will recognise your phone and start flashing process. You can release back button as soon as the flashing process starts.
7. Wait untill the flashing is complete, disconnect your phone, and turn it on.
That's it.

i just wanted a link for a rom thats all .. thank you

What was on the phone before you put muiu 4on it ?
For latest stock rom download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?rhr59r4o6oarnfx
unizip file to desktop, inside should be .587.ftf
Open Flashtool >select flashmode top left in lightning button.
Drag .587.tft file only into flashtool main window>let files load
wait for program to ask you to connect phone > follow on screen instructions> make sure you press the correct button an hold it before you connect the usb cable to phone. if done right to LED on phone will be Green.
Wait till you see the files start to load into the phone on the flashtool window>then let go of the button
the uptodate stock rom is now being loaded, there is nothing more to do than wait.
Only disconnect the cable from the phone when flashtool tells you, then start the phone takes a little while first time.set up your friends phone for him, and be careful next time and read about what you want to do first before you try it.

[Q] Please Help xperia acting odd

ok so tonight i decided to unlock my xperia play's bootloader i followed the guide on sony's website. and all went ok.
But after restarting it froze after the boot animation and won't fully boot. But if i press vol up or down the phone makes sounds as if its booted please help or my parents will kill me.:crying:
It also wont boot into recovery no matter what i press or do

Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10

Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

ok btw i tried pc companion restore and i got an error :\

Don't use pc companion use the flashtool method I said and if you are having errors with pc companion relock your bootloader ONLY WITH STOCK ROM and I prefer sony update service. pc companion take 30 min to update phone update service takes 5 min

i know unlocking the bootloader didnt cause sony companion to fail i deleted all the software in the "safe list" of bloatware to delete to get more space and one of them was update services.
Thats why i really want to install CM 10

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

[Q] Sony xperia M CM11 imei unknown baseband unknown

hello ,
today i unlocked my bootloader got cwm and flashed CM11 but after this al was done i had 2 major problems. I have a xperia M c1905
1. when i first booted he didnt ask for my PIN to unlock my SIM and i had no service and i cant call or sent any sms , so i start searching for apps that could cause it but i could'nt find anything so i looked in setting and then i found that my imei is unknown and my baseband also
2. when my phone gets in stand-by i cant unlock my screen unless i pull my battery
EDIT: i think ive solved the 2nd problem i changed the way to unlock
is there anything i can do?
greets

Try flashing the stock firmware again and see if everything works again. If it does, flash cm again and see if there r any changes. If flashing stock firmware doesn't helo, then you probably messed up somewhere really bad in unlocking or flashing. In that case, i think itsvpermanent. Im not an expert at all in this matter but i wanted to help a brother out. Good luck

To get the firmware here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7wdGoA4WPZAY01EMG0xX1RSWmM/preview?pli=1
To install it on your phone this is what you need to do:
Download the required ftf, for u, its the 4.1.2 ftf. Place it in the firmware folder in the flashtool folders. Open flashtool. Click the lighting icon. Flashmode. Click on the firmware u want to flash. Press flash. Wait a while, while it prepares files. When it asks you to, turn off ur phone, press and hold the vol. Down button and insert the usb which is attached to the computer at the other end. Let it flash. When done, remove usb. Reboot phone.
Hope this helped:beer::screwy::beer::screwy:

well i try it as soon as possible
but i readed on other forums that changing imei in *#*#3364663#*#* will work too but it wont open anymore...
or that my fts files are corrupted or something like that , can you confirm that?

you need to flash 4.3 not 4.1.2
for the latest cm 11 update (beta 4).you need to have the 4.3 update for baseband.
source : i installed cm11 beta 4 from 4.3 with no bugs
