But my ARC don't unlock bootloader And I still warranty
And my Arc not power on only vibrate
try flashing a .62 build if your phone is on .42 build (or reverse) that would reset your phone to stock
if that doesnt work, then search your problem on XDA

better show it to sony service center if it is still under warranty
Try flashing the Stock ICS, if that doesn't work then you'll know if your phone has a serious issue.
I have a similar issue. Are you using the MicroSD card that came with the phone? I have suspicions on using different flash memory cards. Testing that theory for a few days with JJ Hybrid 3.1 ROM. If it does not hang for a few days I will put my 32GB Samsung card back in and see if it hangs again.

i have the same problem here.
phone still off more than 40 days.
today i try to do this and can't fix.
in sonyericsson they say need a factur , only repair if i got this, but i have a big fire in my home and don't have this paper. sucks sony ericsson,
Hey guys, earlier I managed to sucessfully unlock the bootloaders and thought i might try to install one of DoomLords Kernals, the Kernal initially loaded and I went to install the wifi module zip. Afer I did that, I tried to reboot but the phone was not rebooting so I thought instead I would try to relock the bootloader anyway. I happened to have installed one img file from a video on Youtube regarding the Xperia S.
I think I might have installed the wrong img file and now I and now I can only enter the fastboot. Whatever I do i cannot get back into the system. I flashed a generic stock rom 2.3.4 just incase I had lost the system files, once I connect the phone to the computer the PC Companion seems to recognise the phone but I do not see anything?
What have I done wrong here and how do I fix this problem!!?!
Help will be well appriciated! Thanks!
PS: Sony Update Service says " The phone has modified software that cannot be updated ".
"What have I done wrong"??
U CAN'T randomly pick IMG files and flash like this buddy...you're lucky u don't have a brick.
Now I suggest you download the update manager from Sony and connect your phone go back to stock. Forget root, forget unlocked boot loaders..

Flash an ftf file, tutorials are everywere, and to relock the bootloader for our device you have to flash another ftf file somewere.
The method hasnt worked.... the phone still does not switch on.... here is the log data from flashtool...

If u are back on a running phone, format the system once from CMW...& a stock ROM from Sony will solve all ur problems...

Why is this is the development section? Xda has rules for a reason, and you need to follow them. Moderator please move this to Q&A.
Sorry but when I realised I had posted it in the wrong section, it was too late. I tried to delete it but could not.
Well, after a series of rooting and trying to get CWM recovery on my Xperia ZL and getting SuperSU I decided it was time to update to CM 10.1.0 RC5 Odin I didn't unlock my bootloader cause I don't know how, to my knowledge of a video I saw online if your phone says that you cannot unlock your bootloader than you can't. So I just thought it was okay to install CM 10.1.0 and did so, now my phone is stuck in infinite reboot without any sort of logo and just stuck at a black screen. I was wondering if any of you guys can help me solve this :\ thanks!

If you can still access CWM Recovery you can try to restore a backup of your old system. Otherwise you will have to flash an FTF using Flashtools.
(You can find the FTF that belongs to your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094).
If it is your first time using Flashtools you can search here in xda for guides, there are many that explain how to flash a FTF
And, as I said in another post before, every rom that needs to flash a Kernel (CM10.1, PAC, ReVolt, etc) you must have an unlocked bootloader unless it's tagged as a stock based rom.

I love you so much man, thanks a lot. I'm going to try out a couple of methods to at least restore the phone to 4.1.2. Do you have any advice on how to unlock the bootloader or any roms that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader?
Edit: By the way, I can't access CWM I wish I could, but I tried pressing the hard OFF button on the back of the phone and I tried pressing every button as well, it doesn't connect to my laptop or computer at all. Any way I can connect it to reset it?

Actually all Stock Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094) don't require an unlocked bootloader, but if you want to unlock it so you can install Custom Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095) that are not Stock based here is a very nice Tutorial about how to do the Unlock Bootloader procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

You are the boss man, thanks a bunch I was so worried about my phone. I just got it and was about to unlock it for a company that's super cheaper than all the other phone companies. I'm currently flashbooting it so I can restore it. I will take a peak at the bootloader unlocking procedure and I'm going to thank you again for your help.
Edit: My phone is being recognized in Flashmode only and randomly disconnects and reconnects. I hope I can flash it when the .zip is done downloading. I'll keep you posted.
Edit 2: I'm stuck on FlashTools "Reading Device Information" :\ now I'm stuck at 7% of Flashing Data and it hasn't moved

I would recommend you to flash this FTF first because you need to recover your android system first so you can move files in and out, install recoveries, etc. After doing so you can continue with that rom

Do a hard reset on it (using the button on the back), don't turn it on and follow the Flashtools flashing process
1.- Open Flashtools
2.- Flash mode > Flashmode > Select the FTF you just downloaded (The one of 700+MB) > Flash
3.- Connect your Phone if Flash mode (It will start flashing).
4.- Boot your phone and you're ready to go.
When selecting the FTF just select it and leave everything as it is and make sure that you have installed the drivers for flashing (
They are where found you installed Flashtools
In a folder called Drivers, open the .exe and Install these:
- Fastboot drivers
- Flashmode drivers
- Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers
If stills doesn't works I can't help any far as that, but I would suggest you that If you are able try to flash it on another computer (It might sound silly but It could actually work ), also make sure that you're running the latest Flashtool which is v0.9.11.0 and can be found here: http://androxyde.github.io/

Edit: Nevermind I got it, thank you so much!!! I'm so happy!

No problem! Keep that .FTF if something like that happens again It might be a life savior.
Thread Solved, mod please close.
So my phone was running perfectly until i decided to sell it, unfortunately the sales man wouldn't accept my Xperia arc because i had AOKP, i opened recovery mode, choose restore, and i selected an old back up to restore, i thought it would bring my phone to stock.
But then whenever i turned my phone on it would crash with the AOKP start animation half blank, like the bottom half of the screen is completely black.
I googled "my xperia phone is bricked" and i heard that i can flash stock ftf to restore the phone, unfortunately flashtool gets stuck at around 8-13% percent every time.
I tried MANY different versions, many stock roms, turned off my anti virus, changed the cable, booted into safe mode with networking, it still lags. :crying::crying::crying:
Now whenever i boot it up it shows a phone with a warning sign next to it
I looked these forums up and someone suggested that i relock my bootloader and try the Sony update tool, i tried it but it says phone is already up to date
Now my phone is dead, battery ran out and it doesn't show the battery animation when i charge it, does that mean it's not charging?
Please help me, i just want to flash a stock rom and unroot it so i can sell it.

I flashed KTG kernel and now the warning sign doesn't appear, only the Sony logo, whenever i try to turn the phone on it just shows the Sony logo and freezes, i tried to get into recovery but i can't, the led doesn't flash so i can enter recovery.
Thanks though.

YES, it's working again, thank you very much!!!
I "repaired" with PC companion and it wouldn't start, it still lags at the Sony logo, but after repairing it with the pc companion i was able to flash stock ftf without any problem, it's very weird flashtool always lagged before, i think it's because i repaired it now, or maybe because i charged my phone over the entire night? can a low battery cause flashtool to lag?
Anyway that doesn't matter now, thanks again.
My phone is working again after flashing generic world stock ROM, now only thing remains, how do i unroot and relock the bootloader? or is it unrooted already since i flashed a stock ROM? :\
I just want to sell the phone but unfortunately rooted phones don't sell here, every salesman i met rejected me, i want to unroot the phone and relock the bootloader, i just want to make it look like a brand new phone, it's in an excellent condition hardware wise.
I heard factory reset would brick my phone so I will wait until the phone is done booting up and i will download root check and see, i will also check if the bootloader is locked or not from the service menu, after that i will update this post. :good:
EDIT 1: Okay this is very awkward, my phone's battery is completely empty, i have no idea why it's at 0% even though i charged it over the entire night???
Anyway once it's done charging i will check the root and bootloader condition.
Sorry for my bad English.
If you flashed stock firmware, then root is already gone.
And if PC Companion installed firmware to your phone, then bootloader is locked, otherwise PC Companion would have not worked.
If you are still sure, that bootloader is unlocked, check the tutorial in my signature, it includes information how to relock bootloader.
Im Sorry guys to bother you but i need to root/flash custom roms and modify some stuff in my sister's galaxy w and i dont know anything about samsung system because im using sony since i was born and the system in sony was that i have to unlock bootloader then root then flash kernel then flash custom rom and if something goes wrong i hold the volume up and go into fastboot mode and get everything back to normal

Odin is the Samsung equivalent of Sony's Flashtool. CWM is another lifesaver as it has wipe options built in that can help to get a phone to boot. CWM remains installed even if the main OS is removed........

Yeah I have used sony phone for a while and i have broken it (Hard bricked) when unlocking the bootloader, then I picked up a galaxy w and I am still in love with it, Its a single core but it can do miracles. I have soft bricked my phone many times, I sometimes delete the ROM i put on the sd card to have room for the kernel and other tweaks so i use Odin to just return the stock OS and then get a new ROM and flash it inside. There is not much risk and you cant go wrong with the phone. I fixed mine many times and i know how many frustration you get when doing such thing. I remember the first time when i bricked my phone by installing kernel for another android version, and then i booted up to CWM and wiped data/cache and flashed a new rom. Because of the long booting time i thought that its over, i broke my phone, but after sitting there for 10 mins. it finally booted up. Damn i was so happy then, i rooted my phone and installed a new rom for first time :victory:
