I can see just SONY logo, nothing else. I tried turn on CWM mod, but nothing happens. My pc doesn't detect my phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes this means that bootloader unlocked?

Arc S BL Unlock

I've unlocked my BL using Flashtool and the Unlock Code generated via the Sony BL Unlocking website. I wondered if there was a way to find out if the BL Unlock had worked?

Go to service menu *#*#7378423#*#*
& go to Service info/ configuration.
To check Bootloader unlocked - Yes.
Or try flashing a custom kernel [email protected] Fastboot.
If it tells in fastboot Device must be rooted. Means that ur BL is not unlocked.
If flashing progress Finished Successfully .then ur BL is surely 200% unlocked

I flashed the FXP128 Kernel using Flashtool Fastboot mode, now my phone is in a continual boot loop, so I think the BL is Unlocked, but there seems to be a problem with the Flash.
Is there anyway to recover to a working phone or is it terminally bricked?

I didn't Install the ROM as I was unable to get to the SONY Splash Screen to enter CWM to Flash Paranoid Android.
I managed to get my phone to Install the latest stock Sony Kernel.
I might have to find a decent AOSP ROM that runs on stock Kernel.

If you've flashed an FXP kernel then you should be able to enter CWM.

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.
> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Android Development > [KERNEL][PLAY] LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9][LINARO 4.7.3][19-06-13]
It's working fine for me.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.
But i'm sure that Emma (son'ys flashtool for unlocked BL) will work. Here is a link

[Q] Bootloader unlock allowed changed to No, after flashing Stock ICS.

Yesterday I tried to flash a JB room into my xperia arc S. The installation had no problems, but after restarting, the phone didn't pass from the sony logo.
So, with the flashtool I flash the stock ICS again. And the phone is working again, but, now I can not flash any other room because the bootloader is lock.
Now, the phone says: "bootloader unlock allowed: no", and before, it had: "bootloader unlock: yes".
Before, I even had clockworkmod installed and I could flash anything with it, but now... Now, my phone does have the notification drawer anymore.
Does anyone knows how can I fix this?
Thanks for any help.
What ftf file did you flash? Did you exclude simlock.ta from the files?

I flashed( using clockworkmod ) this one first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380652, and the phone got stuck at the Sony Logo.
Then, using Flashtool, flashed this: "Lt18i_4.1.B.0.587_1254-8596_Generic_India.ftf" , then I even tried this: "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf"
simlock.ta? No.
The problem now is that I can not go into clockworkmod anymore. I even had made a backup with clockworkmod , but now I can't restore it anymore.

Of course you cannot go into clockworkmod, flashing the ftf file will remove it from your phone. You need to flash a stock kernel with CWM or install X-Parts

You can always install X-Parts, it does not require unlocked bootloader.

Yes, but if the phone's bootloader is bloqued again, why install X-Parts to have clockworkmod , if I can not flash another rom?
You can still flash a ROM with X-Parts, just that it will be stock based, definitely not CM/AOKP/PAC.

Try flash ftf file via flash tool or Sony software.
Your explanation is very confusing. Please give detail on what have you did i.e. what version of OS you have before flashing existenz rom, do your boot loader locked or unlocked? etc...
Bootloader unlock my phone.
I installed the file Xperia ZL (C6502)_10.1.1.A.1.253_Generic US 1270-7577 R7A.TFT & Xperia ZL C6502_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic US 1270-7584.tft
Use FlashTool
I'm not English
Translate messages using lose
I press the power button
The phone will start for 3 seconds
After the 3 second Turns off
Your mistake is probably flashing the cyanogen kernel.

Wipe everything؟
Do not install ROM eXistenZ for xperia ZL
Ok..first try locked your bootloader...
SEUS will not restore your phone if you Unlocked bootloader....
And if restoring the phone can't solve your problem, it was because you have experiencing a faulty battery...
You need to send to Sony service center for repair...
If you have warranty, first locked your bootloader then restore your phone with SEUS...

{HELP}XMD C2005 - Stucked at bootanimation after Unlocking!!!

hi XMD users.
I unlocked my XMD C2005 succesfully but when i booted it i got stucked on bootanimation. I tried to flash the 4.3 kernel with CWM and able to go to recovery but still unable to boot into system..
I performed it twice but i have no idea what is the reason behind. my phone is unlockable.
Thanks.
Try flashing the kernel from the stock FTF through Flashtool. If you don't have one, try requesting from other users.

i already flashed the stock CWM kernel for xperia m dual but its no good.. i can put it bring it back to 4.3 but my problem is i can't root it..i always stucked in boot animation everytime i unlocked my device..
any idea why is this happening?
What do you mean, stock CWM? What I meant was to flash the stock kernel, the one that came with your device.

i can do that, but my problem is i can't boot my device after unlocking. i already unlocked my bootloader.. any suggestion?
I just want to ask and know, how long will it takes to boot up after unlocking 4.3 or flashing a 4.3 image with CWM? Coz' when I first unlocked the device it's been more than 20mins and the device still on boot animation..
Any tips? Thanks...
No. All you have to do is to boot into flash mode.
It doesn't normally boot too long. It's just like rebooting the device.
IDK I had some problems too with bootloader unlocking and I found the fix: don't unlock with Sony site, but with flashtool.
AFAIR I relocked my bootloader and then I unlocked it with flashtool and it worked. It's thag button near the flash button.
If you unlocked your bootloader already , relock with TA partition (If you Made).Or just relock it with the latest version of flashtool. And boot into flash mode (Volume down btn press and hold) and flash a .ftf firmware.That's it ----> CHEERS .. if you still facing problems please report in the same thread with my name i.e @XDASenior
