You must NOT hold HOME button while connecting the phone to your computer.
You MUST HOLD "MENU" BUTTON while connecting the phone to your computer.
Try that
And,is your bootloader unlocked ??

For so far i know, you can't upgrade OTA or SEUS when you have a unlocked bootloader. It will brick your phone. Or am i wrong?

What happen if I do update my arc s with locked bootloader but several system apps modded(framework, sistemui, home, music...)???
It will brick my phone?

Normally, no. But I'm not a expert whit that things. All i know is that Sony Ericcson updates, Seus or Ota, can't be use when your bootloader is unlocked. I read somewhere that that Sony Ericsson will permit updates whit a unlocked bootloader, in the future.

while the phone is off connect it to pc, open Flashtool in fastboot mod. Flash a stock FW.
If that doesnt work open PC companion it should ask u to repair it if u follow istructions.

@deniel: It doesn't connect neither PC Companion or Flashtool. It doesn't enter in flashmode.

Open flashtool
connect arc to PC
click the lighting and choose flashmode
choose a FW
it will ask u to unplug the device and unplug it again holding the backbutton
didnt happen?

No. It doesn't recognize the device. No led, no power, nothing

:\ strange. if u try to turn it on what happens? and try with pc comapnion to open it an look for "repair" or "solve problems" cant really remember (with phone unplugged) then it will tell u what to do

Have you pressed the menu key while connecting phone to computer?

bricked phone have to be OFF(remove battery and put back if necesaary if it's stuck at sony screen), prepare flashtool ftf and follow onscreen instruction and the flashtool will revive the phone.
Or maybe you could show the error msg from flashtool.
you are really bold in trying the untested bootunlocker, this definitely is a hard brick. hope you get out of this one.

I tried with all.

Sorry for asking again: You started FlashTool (v0.9.8.0), clicked on the flash icon, selected "FlashMode", chose a firmware for your Arc S, activated "No final verification", clicked "OK", pressed the back button on the switched off phone WHILE plugging in the USB-Cable? No green LED - nothing? Did it work before?

Sorry if we repeat the same thing, but it must work like this: you hve the phone off and unplugged. You open flashtool, select the flash icon (flashtool), select the FW, and it tell u to plug the device to pc while holdin back button.
Sure u hold the the backbutton while pluggin in? and after have selected the FW ?

You've to select the firmware first before plugging it in.

Yeap. Is that I don't know how to restore my .TA file. I know what I changed but ... how????

Help me please??
LT18i
Locked Bootloader
Root access
Had CMW via Xtools, so when I replaced the rom that disapeared!
The problem is that I've forgot to run the 2nd part - device optimization, and now the touchscreen simply doesn't work...
Can't do nothing - USB Debugging is on by default (never forget that I can't touch the phone)
Can't upload another rom via flashtool, the only thing I'm able to do is change the kernel with the 1_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelDowngrade
If I try to put the uptodate kernel, flashtool stops on "Reading Device Information"
Already try to restore it with Pc companion, but no luck
USB device is detecting LT15 on windows!
This is a total mess, I'm lost, and I've googled and tryed dozens of things all day long.. I'm tyred, exhausted, and my 2 day old ARC S is bricked!!
Can someone point me a way out??
Remember:
- USB debbug of (have no access to activate it)
- CMW disapeared when installed this rom, so have no recovery menu
- Bootloader is locked
- Can't flash rom via flashtool
I'm devastated!!
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

What do you mind is bootloop???

Well, tell us, what did you do exactly. And be more precise over your phone - what happens if you turn it on, what does it do? Any lights, anything on screen, vibrations?

Were you using your phone when this occurred?

I've got a similar problem yesterday
the solution was to boot the phone in 'fastboot' mode (keep pressing menu button then insert the usb cable), the indication light should glow in blue
then using fastboot.exe you can flash a new kernel (i used lupos kernel)

I will try to look for a solution, it might be recoverable. Remember it is still a mediatek phone and it has tons of tools for that processor, try to look for sp flash tool and see if you get something from that. If in my research I find something else I will tell you.
