i rooted my phone..installed a font changing software and my phone was gone...now the sony and the xperia logo comes and goes continuously..nothing happens..plz help..
Your phone has gone into a bootloop All you have to do is use flashtool to flash a stock firmware for arc or arc s. Follow this guide to help you with the process
thanks man for the help i saw the video..but as my phone goes on and off continuosly at what point should i flash it??
connect your phone to pc while holding back button when your phone is off (pull battery out)
the flashtool software link u gave is not working. and its different as shown in the video..can u send me the link with the software as shown in the video..plzzzz
go to previous releases tab on the top of the site and download one of the older ones. i think it's verion 0.9.0.0
its not the one u gave..can u give me the name of the site..so i can check out...please

Before attempting to flash, try this:
Remove the battery and put it back
Boot to CWM
Clear Dalvik Cache
Boot to system
I did face similar issue couple of times after flashing Ultimate Xperia HD and another ROM. But both times, clearing Dalvik Cache by booting to CWM and then booting to system did the trick. Try it out.

Hey folks, my Arc came up today saying that there was an update to the latest software 2.3.3 so I thought why not ill let it go through and update my Arc (wish I hadnt now) :*(
The update downloaded and then went through the update process next thing you know the phone now refuses to boot, charge or anything else.
I can put the phone into flash mode but unfortunatley I cant use SEUS as the bootloader has been unlocked and the phone was rooted.
Any idea how I can flash the generic lt15 rom I have downloaded? any help will be greatly appreciated as it feels like my right arm has been removed (I might add im right handed)
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Don't worry. As the other user have said this, you can download flashtool and flash Generic UK. It fixes the problem most of the time.
Good Luck.

Dont worry I just found them
Right just flassed the bad boy but still refusing to boot, one thing to mention is that the notification led flashes whilst holding the power button
It was doing this before the flash.
Any ideas?

so the flash was successful right?, it usually takes a bit of time to boot up, if it doesnt work, then flash the carrier firmware, and call them up and get it replaced

The flash went though and the flashtool said to unplug and reboot but no dice.
Unfortunatley I didnt get the Arc from my carrier I bought it separatley so I cant return it
ANyone have any ideas? this things driving me nuts.
When you said refused to boot. You mean you don't even see the sony ericsson or the logo? Have you tried removing the battery and flash it again?

All I get is the notification LED faintly flashing green when I hold the power button, I have removed the battery and replaced it and tried flashing the phone.
One thing to note is that as soon as I plug in the phone it seems to go into flash mode straight away and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting (the flashes do complete before the disconnecting)

You said you are unlocked bootloader, then go to Bin4ry thread and install the img file for your phone and should fix it as well./
When you tried for the first time to update to 2.3.3 did you have enough battery. Sometimes during flashing the battery empties out and make sure that is not the case.
I am new and a noob to arc s, today i made up my mind to root and flash a rom on my beloved arc s. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it successful. Then i try on se.tweaked rom, it goes well but i find out that the wifi is not working. Then i google it and find out tht i need a kernel. However, due to my noob, i flashed a neo kernel and then all the stuff fail. I dun hv boot logo coming out, and cant go to CWM recovery and SE companion detects my arc s as arc now. What can i do? And is my phone brick now?? Experts and professionals of XDA i need ur help orz
Besides, when i plug in to computer now, red led comes out, wt can i do...
Update : my arc s is now functional again lol however the wifi function is still error although i hv got DooMKernel already, wt can i do

You must flash the wifi modules of doomkernel in order to get the wifi back again.Just scroll down on doomkernel's thread and u'll find the modules.
Sh*t happens...
Every rom has its compatible kernels. If you flash the wrong kernel, it won't work. But then, you flash a new kernel, install your rom again and everything goes well. When you have wi-fi issues or something, you have to change your kernel or flash a patch through recovery.

And my Arc not power on only vibrate
try flashing a .62 build if your phone is on .42 build (or reverse) that would reset your phone to stock
if that doesnt work, then search your problem on XDA

Someone has experience about this ? Pls help
Can someone help ?
better show it to sony service center if it is still under warranty
Try flashing the Stock ICS, if that doesn't work then you'll know if your phone has a serious issue.
I have a similar issue. Are you using the MicroSD card that came with the phone? I have suspicions on using different flash memory cards. Testing that theory for a few days with JJ Hybrid 3.1 ROM. If it does not hang for a few days I will put my 32GB Samsung card back in and see if it hangs again.

Try flashing a kernel and ROM that are definitely compatible.

The problem is that the kernel and rom don't match. XDark ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich, so you'll need an ICS kernel for it. And you can't really damage hardware by installing roms, unless you overclock it too far and your CPU overheats, but it'll take a lot to get it that hot.
