[Q] Xperia Arc S bricked - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed CWM on an xperia Arc S's, but the rom (CM10 nightly) seemed to have an error. No problem I thought, I have a backup. So I did a restore and rebooted the device. Unfortunately all I get is the sony logo. I've tried flashing with flashtool, which goes through the stages but the same problem continues. I've also tried using sony PC companion, but after selecting the device type it tells me it has no software avalible for the phone.
Really stuck here, anyone able to help?
Edit: Should also mention that I have no way to get into CWM now as it requires a phone that I can boot into to get into recovery. power+vol down does nothing.

Good news is you're not hard bricked, it's fixable.
Here is a good tutorial including a table with updated firmware & drivers for each Xperia device. :: http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/06/how-to-fix-bricked-sony-xperia-android.html
Use Gingerbread IF you had Gingerbread before. Use ICS if you had ICS before. It's probably not wise to mix.
Btw, is your bootloader unlocked?

Yer, I've tried that already. It'll let me flash the kernal I had before, but upon rebooting it still doesn't get past the sony logo screen. It was running ICS before, and I've tried the two kernals I already had saved on the PC. AFAIK the bootloader is locked, but I cant be 100% as it isn't my device.

here is the flashtool log for the record

Most tutorials usually assume you're unlocked. How about you unlock and try again? You should be able to still enter into fastboot and send your unlock code, it's been awhile since I've worked with an xperia but I recall fixing one by unlocking first.

Is your device bootloader unlocked?

Well it says that the flashtool method works with unlocked or locked bootloaders and I can't figure out how to unlock the bootloader without being able to do anything with the device. Any help with that?

It's not my device, but I don't think it is. Unfortunately I can't figure out (or find online) how to unlock the bootloader without some access to the phone.

Thought I should post to say that I found a way to fix it. I hate it when I'm googling issues and they dont say how it was fixed, so here is a link to the thread that I followed to fix the issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839215

Download proper FTF file and install it via Flashtool. Yours was kernel only.
And to all the smartasses out there - CM10 cannot be used with locked bootloader, so if he was using it, he must have had unlocked BL already.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.

Im have similiar problem about stop at Sony logo, I have locked bootloader.
First Im flash rom what I have for root, but its not help its pass sony logo and apper icon with exclamation mark, next Im download and flash orginal rom, go to boot loop stage, but in this point PC companion recognize phone and Im repair it.
Next again flash rom ready to root, rooting, flash right kernel and again instal CMW with x-parts, next install custom rom.
Phone working well.

Help please- or am a dead phone

im having the same problem, i did mine last night too...
IVE FIXED IT! what you need to do, is flash this file [ http://www.mediafire.com/file/g1b5j712ajx4yjd/Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf ] to relock the bootloader and then use the SE Update Tool [ http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.250239?cc=gb&lc=en ] to update your phone to original condition, after that you can unlock your bootloader and do everything you did before, but DONT do any OTA updates hope that helped.

Unlock your bootloader if you want to use custom kernels.

This error means, that your device does not have an unlocked bootloader.
a xperia arc, broken?
hey guys, hmm,
I was hesitating about posting here, but now that I have no choice.. -_-''.
I installed this ROM, ultimate HD 3.0.2 on my xperia arc with locked bootloader, successfully, but the keyboard was not working, and i found no soultion, so I thought about reinstalling it, but this time I remembered that, somewhere, I read that I could install the version for xperia arc s, unfortunately, at this moment, I got stupid enough to do it u_u''.
So now you understand that I installed ultimate HD for xperia arc s on my xperia arc, and the result was===> guess what!
My xperia arc never booted successfully after that: the sony screen appears, than the phone reboots, and does the same thing again and again. I don't even have to push the power on/off button, it just shows the sony screen and keeps rebooting whenever the battery is connected..
I know for quite sure that my phone is broken, but isn't there any chance that I can repare it xD?
I'm a student, and I sincerely got no money for buying a new one -_-.
PS: when pushing the volume-down button, I can not access the recovery.
I hope my english and my phone's situation are not too much catastrophic.
Thank you.
I'm new here so I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for my post.

Unlocking Bootloader again don't work

Greetings,
I have a big problem with my Z1 Compact.
When I started flashing the phone is was a noob and did not make a backup of my TA Keys and my firmware.
I have unlocked the bootloader and was able to install Cyanogenmod, SlimRom ....
Then I went back to a stock rom (I think it was a Russian ROM) and I was not able to receive System Updates from Sony.
After that i re-locked my bootlader and I was able to receive updates.
So I want to get back to Custom Rom and I am not able to re-unlock my bootloader with flashtool oder adb.
Anytime when i try to unlock bootloader I get the following message:
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
When I try again I get the following message:
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
I have searched many threads and I did not find a good answer. So i contacted Sony Developer directly and the advised me to post this here
My phone is unlocked und unbranded.
Here is the log from Flashtool:
