are your adb drivers enabled? i tried tooting my arc s before and i thought that if i connect it and install the drivers i can go to rooting but then i found out that my windows don't enable the drivers automatically so i had to do it manually.
Thanks for sharing so much information. We'll definitely help you now.
Seriously. Give us more information, what phone, what firmware, what method you are trying to use. Otherwise - No.
Flash stock ROM .587
Set Settings->Xperia->USB Connectivity to MSC
Set USB Debugging
Enable Unknown Sources
flash the ready to root kernel .431
apply the root toolkit
flash stock .587 kernel
It worked for me

Hello,
I'm currently following this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 to install a custom rom on my Xperia S.
Now i am stuck at the flashing point, i need a ftf file to flash the phone, but currently the only i got is : X10_V1_BLRelock.
And this is not for a Xperia S, i tried searching on the forum but i couldn't find any.
Could someone give me a link to a ftf file so i can flash my xperia S?
Or can i just follow this tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAotNyORw-s and use an updated rom?
Ftf is just a stock rom

Aaah i see currently downloading a stock rom then
But i got another problem : My computer doesn't want to install the FastBoot driver
I installed the USB Driver by using the Sony SDK Kit and i tried adding the driver by using Device manager . But all i'm getting is this when i use Device Manager : Windows could not find driver software for your device.
Go my computer. Hard drive. Flashtool. Drivers. And install xs drivers and fast and flights drivers

i have recently dled the latest version of flashtools and now flashtools would not prepare files for flashing and, as such, would not request for me to connect my phone.
i have installed the drivers from the drivers file and have restarted my pc. does anyone have any solution to this issue?
thx in adv

Update to the latest Flashtool.
Copy the ftf files in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares"
this is my location for you it might be different.
If u tried that and yet u failed, im sorry bro!

Its Not the OS Issue , because me too using Windows 8.
You uninstall Flashtool using Revo uninstaller pro, if u dont know what it is , its one hell of a software with deletes all the files related to that particular software which we want to uninstall.
Try uninstalling with revo , then install flashtool again.
Hello everyone. I've been searching the forums for two weeks now, and I haven't found the solution to my problem. I accidentally deleted all system apk's from an Xperia Arc, and now the phone gets stuck at boot loop. It shows the Sony logo, the Xperia logo and then restarts. Flashtool recognizes the phone, and when I try to install a recovery, it restarts. The phone is rooted, but recovery does not work. Hard reset does not work either, nor can I flash the kernel with flashtool. Sony PC companion recognizes the phone, but I can't get it into fastboot mode, pressing the back button while connecting the usb cable does not work. What can I do to get the phone working again?
Can you try to flash a FTF stock firmware first? If you have problems with fastboot you should try flashing a full ROM first.

Hi popthosegaskets
I did try to load a firmware with a ftf file. I follow all instructions carefuly, and when I get to the part where I have to connect the phone to the usb cable while pressing the back key, nothing happens. I have Windows 8.1, gordon gate drivers installed and FlashTool 0.9.13.0.
Did you install the latest Windows 8.1 update?

Thanks Diabblo, I will try this when I get home later. I must say that my computer recgonizes the phone, but I'll give it a try, I'm desperate and I want to find a solution to this.
Update is installed, and I cannot get into fastboot mode, nor can I enter recovery mode and the phone keeps restarting.

Windows 8.1 64Bits / Yes, I have tried Flashtool, I cannot get into recovery. The phone was in stock rom, I tried to install Clockwork recovery mode, but it didn't work. I then cleaned all system apks, thinking that it would erase the previos recovery and allow me to install a new one, so I could install a custom rom (Zelly Cream V3). The phone is rooted, but keeps restarting. Locked bootloader, I cannot give you firmware number, the phone does not boot into android.

Okay show how have you install/try cwm recovery the first time ?
Yes flashtool is not for get cwm is for flash stock ftf, you don't need cwm to is working.
copy ftf in good folder launch flashtool and Just follow the instructions.
I would suggest u to install Windows 7 and flash stock firmware ftf using flashtool. In Windows 8.1 fastboot & flashmode drivers are only working if u have usb 3.0 port in ur pc.

The problem is that the phone itself won't enter fasboot or flashmode. The led does not turn blue. I don't think it's a problem with my computer, but I'll try with another computer.

Hello,
My name is Tim and I'm new on this forum. I've read a lot of topics during the past year but I've never joined XDA, till now.
I do have a question about my sony xperia s. I did want a custom rom for it. After reading many of the topics about how to install it I finally had the courage to do it. Because of several things I couldn't find time and now, before going to bed I thougt I'de give it a try.
It went wrong and now my phone stopped working, kind of. I forgot to copy the file of the custom rom to Sdcard of my phone, so i cant reach it now. The flashtool did it's job and removed the stock rom. Now i'm in the middle of two roms but cant go further.
Rom manager is installed but I don't know what to do know. Please don't tell me what I shouldn't have done but tell me what to do.
Regards

Don't use ROM manager as it didn't compatible to our device. Did you unlock your bootloader? If yes then you can flash any custom ROM in the android development thread
