[Q]Arc S wrong model

When I connect My Arc S to pc companion it gives me Arc LT15 instead of Arc S LT18, how can i fix that problem?

Do you use custom rom ?
From my sexy LT15i

yes I am using custom rom JJ's HYBRID ROM v3

Edit build.prop in /system and replace LT15i by LT18i in line ro.product.model with Root Explorer (Open in text editor). Reboot and enjoy.

it is already ro.product.model=LT18i

I have the same problem, but I did not use any rom, just rooted my phone
when I uncheck usb debugging pc companion recognize it as LT18,but when its check,it sees it as LT15

You need to change all instances of LT15i to LT18i in the build prop.
If not, you can update to his latest rom V4. I have it running on my Arc S and it's all fine after you flash it.

Go into settings and turn USB debugging on. It's under applications, development options.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc bricked

Hey guys!
I just installed new ROM to my Xperia Arc. I installed Xperia Ice Pureness from that site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788701
When I reboot my device it stuck just on SONY logo. If I try to connect my phone to the computer, it doesn't recognize my phone .I can't get to the ClockWork mode and nothing at all. I really need help because I use my phone for working and develpoing but now is bricked .
I know there are many discussions about that on forum but I didn't find anything useful here because my computer doesn't recognize my phone like in other cases.

Reflash a stock ics Rom and try again remember to wipe data, system and cache and dalvik cache before you flash custom Rom
Sent from Xperia Arc S

Flash a stock .ftf in flashtool. Re-root and refresh rom
Sent from my lt18 using xda premium

Have you tried installing a custom kernel? You should try ArcKnight kernel. It works good with stock based roms.

Just reflash ftf via flashtool and the soft brick will be gone.

[Q] bricked xperia arc s?

hi everyone,
i have a sony xperia arc s lt18i with locked bootloader.
i rooted it through eRoot Software and installed CWM through X-Parts from Market.
Afterwards i copied 2 different Custom Roms on SD-Card and tried to install any of both after i did a full wipe/cache/davlik.
Both Custom Roms couldn't be installed through CWM - there was an error 7 after "installing package..." (which mean i might have used the wrong Custom Roms).
Now my phone is stuck at SONY logo. I could not find a way to enter recovery mode through hardware buttons.
Sony PC Companion is not able to detect the phone connected via USB to PC.
What can i do next? Any help is appreciated!

Press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. Then try connecting your phone in flash mode and flash the latest firmware using Flashtool.

Can you please describe the problem in detail? If you're having driver problems, then go to the drivers directory in Flashtool's folder and open the driver installation exe file and install the drivers for xperia s.

Is your boot loader unlocked? If yes, then you should be able to connect your phone in fastboot and flash a custom kernel so that you can access cwm and flash a rom from your internal storage.
If your boot loader isn't unlocked, then download Sony's official software called Sony Update Service and do a re-install of the phone's software. Installing SUS should take care of all the driver problems too.
