Arc won't boot - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I hope you can help. I'm having issues with my Arc running cyanogenmod 7 (.2 I think). I've been using cm on the device for over a year and one morning it would not turn on. I thought it's out of battery so I charged it. Later I tried to turn it on but it still wouldn't start. I further noticed that when plugged in to charge the LED was not illuminated. I tried a different battery from another arc device, but didn't change anything. (Mine worked on the other device.)
A week later or so, I tried to charge it again and suddenly the LED lit up and I was able to turn it on. Unfortunately, this was only temporarily. I checked the phone later and it was off again.
So I thought, I try to send it back to Amazon where I bought it, and maybe they don't get that I modified the software. But they did...
Any thoughts on what I could do?
Cheers,
Diophantus

Can you get the phone into flash mode or fast boot mode or have it detected by any computer?
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium

I tried flasboot (0.9 linux) and it did not work. I'll try to get a windows machine and test fast boot

Fastboot doesn't work either. Nothing pops up when connecting the device while holding the fastboot key.

Any other suggestions?

So the LED won't turn blue if you hold the menubutton and connect the USB?
And no green LED on flashmode?
Did you do something special with the phone before it happened?

Nope, it just happened over night. Didn't flash or anything. I had been using the Wifi a lot more than usual, but nothing else.
It is strange, that it turned on that one time.

Can they ask Sony if I unlocked the bootloader or how could they know this?

What is the color of the LED when you plug it in? Also, if it is an R800i (GSM) version, you could try unlocking the bootloader and reflashing the device with Flashtool. Check out the development forums for tutorials on both bootloader unlocking as well as flashing.

gsm version, how can i flash it when it wont come on or boot and the computer not recognizing the usb device connected. the led flashes red
If it only blinks, it seems that the battery was too low.
plug in your charger, after 1 hours charging try it again.
I remember reading a thread about blinking red light. Not sure what it was now though.

[Q] Bricked Xperia S?

So yesterday i tried to flash a new kernel (nova kernel) using cwm and after attempting to reboot, all i felt was a vibration and then nothing happened. Is my xperia s bricked? and if so is there anything i can do?
What works:
1. Able to hold power button and feel the single vibration; however, the screen remains blank after that.
2. Able to soft reset and hard reset but it does nothing
3. Able to connect to pc in flash/fastboot mode
4. Able to flash kernels and firmware (flashed full stock .55 and wiped everything, still no progress)
What doesn't work:
1. Screen will not turn on no matter what i do
2. Phone will not charge (no led, no screen)
3. CANNOT ENTER CWM!
Any help is appreciated.
Sounds almost like you're battery is dead toss it on the charger in a situation like this it can take up to 5 hours for the phone to boot.

that could be it...but i doubt it because when i flashed the kernel it was about 98% battery and i haven't been able to turn on the phone since. that plus i've left the phone charging for 8 hours last night, which ended again with no led and no screen...
i'll keep it plugged in though and see if anything happens

After you try to boot do you get any screen response? Like backlight or a quick blink. After turning on with no screen, does the pc recognize as usb drive or mtp device? I was just thinking maybe screen failure.

when i try to boot, i only get the one vibration that signals the phone has turned on (or in my case attempted to turn on). i can keep pressing and holding the power button multiple times consecutively and still get the same result. it's like the phone turns on and then shuts down immediately.
i only get led notifications when i connect to the computer in fastboot or flash mode, other than that i get nothing.
Try reading through this ion softbrick recovery thread. There are tricks in the OP that users reported work.

looked at that thread, nothing works. closest i came to something was plugging the phone into the wall for a while until the red led came on, but then it just turns off after 2-3 hours and i'm back to square one
Some have had to leave it plugged into charger for days. Then got green led, flashed and it started.
This is just one way these phones act goofy during soft brick. You just have to be patient, as all who have recovered have said.
kye71 said:
Well great news phone is back and running great
I had it plugged in for about 18 hours then the Red light came on.
24+ hours later the Red light was off. So I tried to flash, nothing. It was just a wasted attempted and I nothing happened.
Plugged it back in, ~2 hours later the Green light came on and I could press Power to have the Battery Screen come on.
Flashed it and it worked! Thanks for the support!
I'm not sure why the Red light went off. I'm thinking maybe the cord was bumped and the charger wasn't plugged in all the way?

Maybe you should flash your xperia back to the stock ROM. You can do that using the official Sony flashtool: http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/ . Just watch the video and (hopefully) you will understand everything. After flashing back to stock ROM you can decide what you want to do with your phone afterwards
Hopefully this solves your problem!

i tried one of the posted solutions, but in doing so i find that i can't even enter into fastboot/flash mode anymore, and i can't soft or hard reset. i only get the solid red led now when plugging into anything (pc, charger) and the phone is unresponsive to any of the buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836219
i have this exact same problem in this thread, the highlight being that the screen doesn't turn on at all, while others have been able to get to the sony logo.
it seems that everyone that has this exact problem has not gotten any solution yet.

exactly, the other problem is that sus and pc companion both won't repair the phone because the bootloader is unlocked.
i've flashed the relock bootloader ftf and it still says the same thing which is weird.

My Xperia Arc S doesn't want to turn on anymore

Hey
My phone stopped working.
A few weeks ago it suddenly didnt turn on anymore
The evening before i put it in charge coz it only had 6% left.
The next morning it didnt do anything
no led light, didnt turn on.
When i try to boot fastboot mode, the light doesnt turn on. when i put it in charger, the light doesnt turn on, my computer doesnt recognize it.
i tought lost case, its dead.
but this morning i tried to turn it on one time, it didnt work. i put it on my desk. i accidently wiped the phone off my desk, it turned on.
It showed Sony Ericsson logo, as im used to, the screen lights up very bright for a second, normaly the key lights and the led should turn on, that didnt happen.
then it went to a black screen, and turned off after a few seconds.
after that it didnt turn on anymore
Maybe the worst part: coz my father is going to buy an iPhone 5, he wants to give me his 4
is there anything i can do? I no longer have warranty.
Have you tried removing the battery, pressing power, then letting it charge for a couple of minutes, and then try to turn it on? Maybe it's really completely empty.
You had anything custom in there?
Did you use the original charger?
As I can understand, phone does not go into flashmode (while turned off, back button and connect USB cable) or fastboot mode (same thing but menu button)?

[Q] At-t Xperia Ion LT28at - Soft or hard brick????

So heres the story .... i backed up my phone 2 days ago just incase lol . i installed CWM for xperia ion just incase aswell before i installed an app so i can change my fonts and boot animation on my xperia ion. I downloaded and use "Rom Toolbox Pro" and from their on i use the "Boot Animations" app to change the original At&t startup to the Razr M bootup. and after i restarted it , it worked just fine. Then after i went back to the app and went to the Font installer i backed it up as well as my boot animation. I installed a certain font i think it was " " after i restarted the phone , again, it worked perfectly fine , then after a couple uses of the font i got tired of it so i went and hit restore , i didnt know what i was really doing from their. a menu popped up with all these things checked so i went ahead and clicked ok, and it said to restart , so then i did. After it was restarting , upon booting up it would just shutoff or shutdown or do this fading away power off thing as it finished the boot animation. After the third time i did the " soft reset trick" and it still happened again, but by mistakenly doing a ":hard reset trick" it just completely vibrated 3 times instead of 1 not realizing and it shutoff. nothing was happened i pressed a few buttons but it still didnt budge. and i read online that to let it die while plugged in to the factory WALL charger. so then i did that.......after a few 15-16 hrs i had a constant red LED light come on and then after another few 2-3 hours there was this red LED blinking i guess? it was as if it was trying to turn on or something. but all i saw was the screen come one but nothing showing and the LED staying on for a few then going out .....so as of right now it stopped doing that. and its now at a constant RED LED LIGHT nothing else. i dont what else to do. i have my Flashtool already good to go with the stock f/w ready to wipe data /cache and everything i guess.
and what did i do that ruined the phone?
How long should it take?
will it change led colors so i can flash it?
so what do i do for now?

I have tried a few times but it still hasnt detected the phone in flash or fast mode. app
it would either , when i unplug the phone from the charger and plug it in to my computer it would just do that blinking LED action like it did last time and keep doing that for a few minutes and then back to red LED constant light.
so my issue i think is a bootloop by using that app. and idk how else to fix this.

My method would be having to put the phone in "flashmode" using "flashtool" via when the LED changes to green and thus connecting my phone in and holding down the volume down button.
their is no red led light anymore.......and its plugged into the factory wall charger....... theres nothing on my screen on my laptop , no sound, no pop up , nothing. I have flashtool ready and its awaiting for the device to be connected but sadly i dont even know if its charging or not its stuck i guess with no led or screen up..... its been a day since i left it charging and it had a red consant led idk whats going on now .so idk what to do as of now

Model G3223 - Charging Issues and Black Screen/Flashing White Light at Boot

Hey everyone,
So, I got a new Xperia XA1 Ultra (G3223) through a trade running stock Android 7.0. Checked everything and initially it looked fine.
Over the last few days, things have been acting weird. Every time I start the device, it gives me a blank (black) screen with a blinking white notification light - it doesn't even show me the boot screen at times when it boots. Just yesterday, I got it to boot by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER after being in that state - but, that's not normal. Does anyone know why in the world my phone does that?
Furthermore, when using the Sony charger that came with the device, it takes over 6 hours to charge and doesn't even show the charging sign while charging. Could this be an Android 7.0 bug or is something seriously wrong with my phone? Only one time since I got it, did I get it to charge normal with the charging sign and everything; it actually charged quite rapidly at that point.
Any help would be appreciated with this, guys, because I'm at a loss. I do want to mention that the device doesn't seem to be recognized by the computer, so I'm not even sure that the cable is original.

Try a new cable and/or charger. (I found I had a bad charger once)
Since you had computer issues, I'd start with the cable. Also check the charging port on the phone for debris/damage.

How is your phone turning on? Power button or inserting the USB cable?
Only thing I can think of is perhaps a stuck volume key placing the phone into recovery or flash mode.
Try turning on the phone with no USB cable attached. Before you turn it on, press the volume keys a few times to make sure they aren't stuck and then power on.

The thing is that it's weird.... For one, sometimes when I use the touch reset/turn off button, it takes at least two minutes to reset, or it doesn't even reset. Then, when I turn the phone on while it's off, the phone sometimes enters into this weird state with the flashing white notification light. I never power on the phone via USB cable, so I don't know, really. Yesterday, I shut the phone off to test it, plugged the phone in to charge it, it wouldn't charge while off, but then hit power on, and then it wouldn't turn on, so I used VOLUME UP + POWER, and then it turned on just fine.
Hi
Happened also to be with my older Xperia J.
Backup your phone (cause you'll lose your data), connect it to a PC (or Mac) and install Xperia companion, then select "repair phone" or something similar (I know the written in Italian version ).
Wait and it will be all fine.

Okay, let me see if I can get it to connect to the computer, and then I'll let you know if I have progress.
I have the same slow charging problem on my xperia xa1 ultra. you could solve it?
