Hi friends,
In my friend's Arc S, the back button is ruined after she mistakenly dropped it in the pool. And since we have enabled the on screen button mod, there is no problem in usual usage, the issue is that we can't connect it to flash via flashtool for a custom ROM for rooting. (as it requires to press the back button).
Any ideas?
Unlock bootloader and flash custom kernels and ROM's with menu button.

As mentioned my home button isn't working after installing doom kernel. What i did was unlocked the bootloader after rooting my arc and then install doomkernel. Everything worked fine till i realise the home button isn't working but it can be used to unlock the screen other than that long pressing won't bring up multitask and it refuses to go to the homescreen with the press.
Anyone can help me with this?? Much appreciated!!
i read once about this problem..
Fixed by installing cyanogenMOD on phone or
second option, relock bootloader and back to stock and original SE ROM
Solved. just had to flash fresh FW
Hello,
i installed MIUI 2.2.17 and it's great.
But Miui hasnt got the feature to reboot into the Bootloader.
So, is there are option to boot into bootloader without fastboot?
On my Desire HD i can press Volume down and start the phone, so it will instantly boot into bootloader.
But with my Xperia Play this doesnt work.
Please help me, i dont know how to flash another rom now
Flash another kernel, perhaps Doomkernel, and your CWM Recovery should be there again.

bootloader?
fastboot - search
flashmode - back
recovery - vol down/up or back.
to flash new rom stock ftf etc. u need to boot in to flashmode with the back button while usb is connected (dont turn phone on just press and hold back then plug usb in.)
If you want access to Fastboot, just plug the previously switched off phone to a USB port while holding Search.
Hello..
I´m am trying to get CM9 to work on my xperia arc s (LT18i)
But when i flash boot.img with fastboot, my phone keeps restarting.
I got the free xperia logo, ore what there is written, and then it reboots.
I know i should press volume down button, but nothing happens, it just reboots.
I have rooted, unlocked bootloader, and even installed CWM before i flash the boot.img
The boot.img comes with the download, so i dont think its the problem there?
My phone was clean, no custom rom.
And i press a lot of times on volume down button
Can you help me?
There is some problem with kernel provided with FXP124.
Try the kernel from post #2359 of this thread instead:

There is easier way :
1.Turn off phone by long hold power button + volume up
2.Download Sony Updater Service program from http://software.sonymobile.com/emma/install_packs/Update_Service_Setup-2.13.4.20.exe
3. Install program and follow instructions.
Good luck

Hi, I`m trying to hard reset xperia s (l261i) phone (forgot pattern and account and secret question).
Problem is-
A. Sony Companion can`t access the phone because it can`t access a locked phone.
B. Power button + Vol Up button + Camera button not working (first I get 1 vibrate, and a second later another 3 vibrates, and a few seconds later same thing again, and again, and never really booting up).
C. Any other combination not working (tried Power button + Vol Up/Down).
D. Can`t enter fastboot/flashmode.
*Plus, I`m not quite sure because this isn`t my phone, but I`m pretty sure the phone is not rooted nor have USB debugging mode enabled or any other advanced users features on. Also, the phone is on MTP mode (the one that does not help me at all).
Can you guys help me? really don`t understand why this is happening and I found nothing on the web.

Flashing the Official stock Jelly bean firmwire can solve your problem.It will work on both locked and unlocked phone. Download and install flashtool (version 0.9.18.3.) software on pc and flash the official ftf (firmwire) by flashtool (flash mode= Power off phone and then connect to pc while holding VOL Down key.

Wait, will this work with unrooted phone? As I wrote, the phone is not messed with and have no root access.

Never heard of flashing without having root access.
OK I'll check it tomorrow and let you know the result. Thanks!
