You might get help faster if you post this in the correct forum - Q&A.
That's very strange. I would suggest you return it to complete stock and return/exchange it. If you're out of warranty you're kind of screwed and would suggest you move this discussion to the Q&A section where you'll get more answers then troll comments from people like me lol.
I used PC Companion to update my Sony Xperia Arc S to ICS (Official Sony update). The update did not complete and showed an error. When I tried turning on my phone, it displays the Sony logo, followed by the image of a phone with an exclamation symbol next to it. Then the phone goes blank. I even tried removing the battery and putting it back. Also tried charging my phone. The same thing happens. I don't know what to do. Please help guys. I'm scared that I won't be able to revive my phone!
Flash an .431 firmware through flashtool on you arc and it will be fixed

If your bootloader is locked then you can try using seus (dont use pc companion it always fails for me too) and dont panic its only soft brick and easily recoverable. By the way there is fix for hard brick too.
And if you are on unlocked bl then you cannot update using seus, flash ftf file via flashtool or use patch for it

Unhappy Xperia Arc S won't start after updating to ICS
Did You selected to install fastboot, flashmode and Xperia Arc drivers in "Flashtool Drivers Setup"? (C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe)..I would suggest trying to reinstall your drivers by going to (C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe) running the exe file and make sure you scroll to the bottom of menu that appears and ticking fastboot,flashmode drivers, some people forget to do this and of course ticking Xperia Arc drivers..

So now if i connect my Xperia Arc S to computer, i don't hear sound what's mean "Error when connecting device" for a now, it's play correct sound, like device spoted normaly without errors, but my phone anyway can't enter to flash mode for reinstalling FIRMWARE, today i also charged battery without phone, by using portable doc station for battary.
additional info: my phone not turning LED like green when charging or BLUE when i try bring phone to flash mode.
What i can do for resolving problem, i mean, all problems started after my restoring backuped programs and earn 0 space on local phone storage. And after cycling rebooting my phone, before i removed battery.
ty for advice.

If your friend is not the kind of person who likes to overclock and modify her phone, just install everything in stock with the 42 firmware (that is easily rooted in case she need to root).
1. Download and install Flashtool. http://androxyde.github.com/
2. Go to the folder where you installed Flashtool, look for the drivers folder and install the file "Flashtool-drivers.exe". Select the Xperia Play drivers.
3. Now open Flashtool, unzip and flash this firmware (R800_4.0.2.A.0.42) http://www.mediafire.com/?qqi99r1z592iges
4. Now just wait and restart your phone.
Hi so all these on the computer? Cos the phone just keep restarting on its own..haha..okay will try later! Yeah she just wanna get it working.can skip the root etc for now.

Hmm if u mention open flashtool and flash the firmware...(on e phone...) how to get the phone in recovery mode?

Yo don't need the recovery for this.
Turn off the phone. (If you can't turn it off, remove the battery). Go to flashtool and search for the firmware you just download. Flashtool will tell you when and how you have to connect the phone. You don't need to do anything else but follow the flashtool instructions.
If she just want her phone working you just need to flash the firmware and thats all. The recovery is used for installing custom ROM and other mod's
If you don't really know how to use flashtool, probably you could search for a Flashtool step by step video on youtube.
On my Xperia Arc the issue with rebooting over and over with just the Sony Ericcson name showing was a bad battery. They are cheap enough, just order a new one off Ebay.
Hi, I've a problem with my Xperia Play, I tried to flash .42 FW over a custom rom, but I think I bricked it, because aftter flashing, the phone doesnt start up and a red light appears near the power button when I connect the phone at the computer (that happens also when I trying to power up the device). Also, when I connect the phone at my computer, it recognize as "Xperia Neo", instead of Xperia Play. Can someone help me, please ?

Hey guys , my xperia m ( single sim ) is stuck on the sony logo whenever i try to boot it up.
I rooted my phone many months and it was perfect till this morning and then suddenly it got stuck at the sony logo.
Ive tried to fix it via the pc companion but it doesnt detect it . Now the battery has also run out so when i try to charge it , it shows the led for charging but then the sony logo comes up on its on and stays stuck there. Please help =(
That is a simple soft-brick/bootloop (depending on who you ask, I'd say bootloop).
Charge the phone for a couple of hours and then flash stock firmware with flashtool. To do this you will need to download the stock firmware ftf (these can ALL be found in the general section, don't ask for links) and also flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php). Move the ftf to the firmware folder to where you extracted flashtool to (the C: is the best bet).
Once you have both of those things and your phone has charge in it open flashtool. Then click on the lightning bolt icon and then flashmode. Select the firmware you have downloaded.
UNTICK Wipe cache and data.
Click flash.
Wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode (do this by holding volume down (I think) while the phone is off and you are connecting the USB cable).
Wait for the firmware to finish flashing.
If you get an error saying that loader.sin has finished processing with errors open the ftf with WinRar (or something similar) and delete the loader.sin file and make sure that you save the changes to the ftf.
If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after flashing, remove your battery and then put it back in and try to turn on the device again. If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after that you will have to wipe the cache and data with flashtool.

I read about the flashing thing on other sites aswell but what i was worried about was the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting my phone will the flash be able to go through considering the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting it even the flash tool might not?

Flashtool will definitely detect it, don't worry. PC Companion needs the phone to actually be booted to be able to detect it, whereas flashtool only needs the phone to be in either fastboot mode or flash mode to detect it. Both of these modes are initiated by the user when they are plugging in the USB cable and holding the respective volume button and the phone is off.

Thank you for helping me just btw
I know this'll annoy you a bit but the version that i have to flash it with is the stock one? Because i searched on the internet and some are with the 4.3 one and some are 4.2.2 so im a bit confused. Sorry im kind of a noob at this T_T
And flashtool first says that my phone is connected with usb debugging on then says phone is disconnected when its not :/

Any stock firmware to the device will work, so it can be any of the 4.1.2 variants or and of the 4.3 variants (4.2 is for dual SIM). And don't worry about being a noob, all of us were at one point or another.

When you are flashing a firmware be sure to keep the cable firmly connected throughout the entire process (use a different cable if the one you already have is a bit loose) and don't mess with the phone at all. Can you post the whole log you got from flashtool? Either in text form or through a screenshot?
