First of all, hope I posted in the right section as I could find a separate Xperia SL forum.
I got a rooted Xperia SL with
Android 4.0.4
version 6.1.A.2.45
I tried to update it to 6.1.a.2.55 (which I guess is JB) using PC companion. The phone turns off, then the PC Companion says to remove da USB cable and reconnect it while holding the volume down button. I tried this a several times but nothing happens. Instead the phone shows the charging battery icon which is shows when it's charging while switched off. And I see a notification on my PC saying USB device not recognized (only when I connect the phone holding the volume down button and it's switched off. It is recognized when I connect it while switched on.)
I'm a noob in android, hope someone would help me out with this.
That's ics, not jb

The best way is to find .55 ROM TFT and flash via FlashTool.
It is known that the jellybean is yet to make an appearance in any part of the world,so I suggest u can wait for the update to have a global reach or unlock your bl and flash the leaked version

I would really suggest you to wait a week or two more and Get the Jelly Bean Update for Your phone.
In any case you will be upgrading to JB after it releases in a week or two.
And for Your Problem,
You can use PC Companion only when two condionts are met.
1. Your device is Not Rooted ( If it is Rooted You Need to Unroot it Back To Use PCC)
2. You need a Locked Bootloader.
Otherwise PCC will not Work!
A word of warning :
PCC May reverse back the changes of flash or prevent from brick.
But OTA updates will brick the phone for sure. If and All you try to Update in rooted and bootloader unlocked conditions.
The best alternative to flash any rom will be using FLASHTOOL by androxyde

Have you tried using SUS instead of PCC..i prefer using SUS over PCC when updating..

Hello,
my XPERIA Play is broken and I don't knwo how to fix it.
I've first unlocked the bootloader and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it.
But the vibration doesn't have any function and so i flashed with flashtool the stock firmware witch I found in this forum. After that I've started OTA Updater and my phone shutted down. Now it won't start anymore, it vibrates shortly and if you hold the power button longer, it vibrates in dinstances.
When I connect the XPERIA with my computer (Windows 7) the green lights shining and my pc says that it's in flash mode. I can't change to Fastboot Mode.
I've flashed more than once firmwares on the phone, everything I've done couldn't fixe it..
Can anybody help me?

Well you can't get OTA updates when your bootloader is unlocked.Unfortunately I can't help much about the problems with the flash mode since I've never encountered such a problem.So sorry about that.
EDIT:When you try to update Via OTA your phone would surely get bricked because once your bootloader's unlocked SE doesn't consider your phone as warranted and certificates within the phone gets wiped because that would enable flashing 3rd party firmwares and kernels.
Sorry if I'm making this complicated.

I've relocked the bootloader, that wasn't the problem.
I could fix it with flashtool, I only had to flash the bootloader form the developer section and now everything works fine. I can also update with SEUS again (tested from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5)

hello , dude the thread is actually really old but since u asked and i had the same problem on my arc s before,
i thought i'll better answer.
so what I did , (considering updating Flashtool and changing cables) i figured that only my true original USB cable from the Sony , can work with the Flashtool and ADB i don't know why but if u have an original try trying with that.
hope it works

Hi, I've a problem with my Xperia Play, I tried to flash .42 FW over a custom rom, but I think I bricked it, because aftter flashing, the phone doesnt start up and a red light appears near the power button when I connect the phone at the computer (that happens also when I trying to power up the device). Also, when I connect the phone at my computer, it recognize as "Xperia Neo", instead of Xperia Play. Can someone help me, please ?

Repair your phone using PC Companion. Just follow the instructions from the program and your phone should be fully functional in a couple of minutes.
same problem here
my xperia arc s turns on until the sony logo and then stays there forever.
It doesn't seem to charge either when i put it on charge as the red light is off .
How to connect with companion since it doesn't do anything ?

Visit the support zone, use the specific tool for when phone does not boot up. Just look around, you will find it. It will not require you to turn on your phone.
Thanks
Got it ...
Used Flashtool and i am back to stock firmware
THANK YOU very much indeed

To use pc companion your phone has to boot up and it's impossible to update or fix phone that doesn't boot up via PC Companion you can only fix it with flashtool or SEUS,SEUS can fix the phone when it's turned off it's just like flashtool.

Wrong.
PC Companion has the solution for when phone does not boot up, SEUS does not have it.
Well this is is What happened. I was trying to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" on my "Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY" I tried it twice and I couldn't so I flashed it again to R800a North America. As I couldn't do it I upgraded the "Flashtool! from 0.6.9.1 to 0.9.18.5 and tried to install "Lupus-v12-iCs-720" but I couldn't so I tried to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" and nothing so I plug it to flash it again and the Rom R800a wasn't there I didn't notice it and clicked flash so it did it fast and now I have a dead pone, it doesn't enter Flashmode doesn't turn on nothing but when I conect it to the PC the sound plays but that's it. It also doesn't turn on and the LED doesn't blink. HELP....!!! PLEASE.........!!! is there any way to fix it.....???
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
If u flashed x10 relock file, u probably damaged bootloader partition and i dont think u can reapir it in home, without flasmode, coz only thing i can think of (not counting using box) is to flash relock file for 2011 xperias

I messed up my xperia ion in a similiar way. Take out the battery for a few minutes. With the battery out hook it up to the pc. If you can see a dim charging light of any colour your should be able to fix it. Unplug the phone and put the battery in. Without trying to power it on click the back button and connect it to the pc. This may work.
