Is your bootloader unlocked? If it its you need to relock it.
If bootloader is unlocked or used test point to unlock sim then DO NOT USE OTA. If you do you phone will get bricked.

hello
im trying to flash my xperia arc to ics but it wont flash
it always stuck on vendor.sin or system.sin
plz help
use the latest flashtool and make sure verification is unticked before flashing
it still stuck on system.sin
when the flashing starts its all good until it reaches to flashing vendor
then the percentage is still the same 10%
The most common cause locked bootloader, have you have it unlocked?
how can i know if its locked?
i cant use my phone
i have the logo of sony and then i see a phone under a caution sign
here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
knowing that you can't use your phone, just follow instruction to unlock it (don't read step 1-2, just jump to step 3)
cmiiw
have u ever tried to unlock it?or atleast do u remember? C'mon dig up the memories

well its like a digital fingerprint of a device..they are unique..no two fingerprints are same..they are 15 digits code.. Just key in *#06# on your mobile phone and it will display its IMEI number..just follow the instruction to unlock the bootloader man..
or you can find your IMEI in your phone box if i'm not mistaken
You can find the IMEI underneath the battery as well.

Thank you. And I fixed the problem by using Sony Update Service.
Don`t pass of this! And Sony Companion do it the same, error! FlashTool nothing, can`t into recovery. Sorry For My Bad English...
Here, try this. It saved my device from being bricked.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
Download a working genuine sony FTF and try again.
Reboot in fastboot and flash it.
I forgot to mention that you must have installed adb and fastboot drivers. Google them.
Flashtool driver pack i think it was.
Install them. If you have problems, disable driver signature verification. There is info on the internet.
After that, try again with the clean FTF.
Emma FlashTool no read it, it need bootloader unlocked. Already tried with many FTF but I have "loader" error
Screw the emma flashtool. It is useless.
Try with sony flashtool.
There is a bit of difference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Get it from here.
There is info on how to use.
He already said that FlashTool isn't working for him. So I thought he unlocked his bootloader, which is why I posted EMMA.

Let him try again and again.
Try everything.
I unlocked my bootloader, then I replace my boot image and recovery image.
Here's the problem:
I didn't back up.
the device can't detect my SIM card, I try another boot.img, the SIM card is detected, but no sound output.
Emma isn't working, flashtool by Androxyde didn't have a "G3426" selection.
I can't find any TFT file for my device, and can't find a boot.img for my device.
If my problem can be fixed by flashing a new boot.img, how can I get it?
If can't, what is the solution?

Hi
If I were you, I would relock the bootloader, connect your phone to the PC and use Xperia companion to repair your software.
Did u backup TA partition and DRM keys?
No

You've a problem so.
You've lost DRM keys*, so you won't be able anymore to:
- use display enhancements (Bravia engine, etc.; You will see them as enabled, but they won't work)
- some audio enchantments (audio will be worse; same)
- camera enchantments (low light photos, zoom, etc.; Same)
- login to Xperia services and so on
- backup your phone with Sony's app to Google
- and many others....
*DRM keys are keys (series of numbers) that are used by Sony to activate some Xperia features. They cannot be fixed on your phone (only if you have Z3, Z4, Z5) and cannot be generated. Only assistance can do something.
And you cannot do anything for all of this, neither if you will use repair software.
What I would do if I were you:
- relock bootloader with flashtool
- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)
- send your phone to assistance telling them you've lost DRM keys
- wait
- pay (80% probable, cause it's outside of the warranty)
- done
... Or buy another phone.
Hope could be helpful

Thank you!
But I can't
- relock bootloader with flashtool ( No stock kernel, cannot be verified when booting)
- repair software with Xperia companion (you will be able to use your Sim)[Cos I unlocked my bootlocker]
By the way, I found a TFT file. But I can't flash it with the flash tool.
So I extract it and found a folder called "firmware"
Should I replace my firmware in my mobile with those?

Hehe there's a trick to flash with flashtool without verification!
- uninstall your flashtool
- download from flashtool website THE PREVIOUS VERSION that doesn't verify anything on boot and install
- enjoy
If you relock bootloader you would be able to repair software
The folder is C://users/your name/.flashtool
I don't have a PC now, but if I remember well there's a folder like firmwares or something similar. If you don't find it, download a random firmware with flashtool (obviously don't install it) and watch where there's the ftf inside the aforementioned folder
PS hit like if it was helpful, more people will find it

I replaced the firmware, nothing changed...
All I need not is the kernel. It's not the problem with the firmware.
But I can't get the boot.img for my device.

As told before, just relock bootloader with flashtool, you should be able to do that with the previous version of flashtool, as told before.
After that, go to Xperia companion and repair software. It will solve all, cause it flashes everything (boot, recovery, etc.)

Ahem... I didn't understand what you said...
If I understood correctly, you shouldn't have problems, because "repair software" downloads the firmware, the boot, the recovery and so on from Sony servers

The SIM card isn't working.
It's about the boot.img (I guess so)
I can't repair mobile(unlocked)
I can't relock it(no stock boot.img)
If I relock it anyway (I tried it), it can't boot and shows"This device can't be verified, power off after 5 second"
I copied all the firmware correctly (with twrp file manager)
Nothing changes.

When you said "If I relock it anyway" did u do it? If yes, power the phone down and connect it to pc JUST PRESSING VOLUME DOWN (no power button) with "repair software" opened up. If the software will find your phone, just repair, else press "device not found", it will do a deep scan into your USB ports.

Aww... But still, no root.
I can't dump my boot.img without root... Fewer developers support G3426...
I can't even boot into TWRP with my stock boot image...
Flashtool root will always show "Waiting for device. After 60secs, stop waiting will be forced"
