[Q] Bricked phone?? what now sony logo.. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello..
i tried to update ultimate hd rom and i format system data wipe etc...
now my arc just stuck on the sony logo.. i tried to flash via flashtool or seus but my pc cant detect my phone -.-
i cant go to cwm .. what can i do now?

Make sure to have Flashtool drivers installed. Put your phone into flashmode (Turn it off, connect USB to your PC, hold down back button, then connect USB to your phone) and then flash stock firmware from a FTF file.
Also, no questions in this section, all question go to the Q&A.

[Q] I need help with my xperia ZL

WILLING TO DONATE for someone who can get this phone work!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just recieved an xperia ZL, i bought on the internet. The seller sold it as it is not working, it cant connect to any network, or its just not recognizing the sim, and the back cam is not working. The cam can start but when I take a pic with it and it tries to save it then I get an Error message without any error codes. I think the phone should be flashed, and I need help with it. Will it make the cam work? And can it help on the other problem with the sim card? I took some pics about the details of my phone, I dont understand anything from it but it can help for some of you
who is an expert, the only problem is that I cant link it in my post because I am new on this forum...
UPDATE
FLASHTOOL installed - YES
Flashtool recognize the phone when it is started - YES
When flashtool asks me to connect the phone in flashmode and it shows me the instructions I cant get it in flashmode.... The instructions dont disappear when I hold the volume down key and connect it to the usb, just red yellow green led flash for <1 second, and nothing happens... then I must restart the phone with the small button on the back of it.
So the thing is stuck here!!! I think my phone is not able to get in flashmode! Is there another method to flash it without using flashmode on phone???? And I think it can start in fastboot mode because if I hold the volume UP key and connect it to usb then the blue led is ON...
One more thing that I was searching for and gugled it and cant find answer
ROOTING STATUS: unknown If I'm right there should be a text like Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes or No... not unknown.
SOME SPECS:
Phone Software Version: 1266-7597_10.1.A.0.287 GENERIC - userdebug
File System Version: Global-LTE_10.1.A.0.278
S1 boot version: 1264-2309 S1_Boot_APQ_8064_LA1.2_9
ETS Software version: 1269-3849_5
SIM lock: here is everything 0 and no [X]
If you need some other info just ask me, an dtell me where to find it.
THX FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Thx, but the links for the flashtool for windows are dead.
I've downloaded the C6503_10.1.A.1.350_Generic DE.ftf and flashtool 0.9.11 from the Androxyde website. Is that flash tool good for this ZL or is there a special just for the ZL phone? And do you think the flashing will solve my problems?
In my phone it says:

Installed the latest flashtool, drivers too, but when I try to flash the phone I have to turn it off and then disconnect the micro usb, I'm holding the volume down key and connect back the usb, then I see a green led on the phone and after that a red one and nothing happens. What is the problem now?
And I would like to ask someone a favor who has ZL too, to look at the SIM card slot and see how much pins are there, in my there is 3 and it seems like the fourth on the left side is missing?!?

There must be something u r doing wrong.
For the Z/ZL u need this version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
Find it here also: http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1371023098000
PC: Flashtool and Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed, Sony PC Companion installed.
XPERIA : Enable USB Debugging, Enable Install from Unknown Sources
Then, turn your phone off.
Start Flashtool, click on the thunder icon, select the file u want to flash, ok, wait for it to load, once the program asks for the phone connect the USB cable, then volume down, keep pressing it while u connect the phone to the usb...should work.

Thak you for your reply... Iam ready to donate for someone who can get this phone work for me!!!!!
I've tried exactly as you said. Everything is installed and the flashtool is that version and it recognize my phone, and when i start the flash and the flashtool shows me the instructions to connect my phone in flashmode, there is the point where I'm stuck. I've noticed that I simply cant get the phone in flashmode. I'm holding the volume down key while I connect the usb in it, then the red yellow green leds flahses for <1 seconds and nothing happens. I'm sure that the phone is unable to get in flashmode. Now I think I need another flashing method where flashmode is not required, if it is possible....
Anyway thank you for your time and reply!!
have you tried to check on sony service ? just make sure that is not hardware broken.
There are several method other than using flashtool.
1. Try repair feature in PC companion
2. If cannot update try download SUS (Google this)
3. Or if u can enter fastboot, u can try to flash the kernel via flashtool. Open flashtool, then go to fastboot mode, then unplug cable, Off phone, enter fastboot mode, in flashtool select flash kernel, select .img file (extract from kernel u download, ensure it has recovery I.e doomkernel) then flash. This will only work if ur bootloader unlocked already + rooted.
4. Try to root u phone 1st then unlocked bootloader. (please backup ur TA partition, otherwise u will loss ur DRM key or in other word loss ur bravia engine feature, custom Rom have this feature already actually, unless u want to go back to completely stock Rom)
5. Or download older version of flashtool. Ur version of Rom .278 seem very rare, never heard of it. Maybe the first Rom version before .350.

Yes for that you'll need root with cwm installed. So that you can flash using any zip..

[Q] Can't boot flashmode or flashboot mode

Phone with official rom , never isntalled CWM or any unofficial stuff. It boots ok to standard mode but not any other mode. I have tried in two different pcs with Windows XP and Windows 8. Phone doesn't even seem to try to boot in those modes, is not like the PC isn't detecting it.
I'm totally lost on how to recover the flashmode functionality to be able to unlck bootloader and install CM, any help will be welcome.

You must be doing something wrong.
Flashmode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Back button, connect USB cable to the phone. Green LED should light up, then phone is in flashmode.
Fastboot mode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu/Option button, connect USB cable to the phone. Blue LED should light up, then phone is in fastboot mode.
Nah, it didn't worked. I got it to still a recovery with X-parts app. Booted to the recovery, wiped everything, did a factory restore, since that moment it won't boot at all, Sony logo and it won't power off without taking off the battery. Of course, still won't enter flashmode or flashboot.

Did you install the drivers for it? If you want to use either flashtool or fastboot you need to install these programs along with the drivers. Also, ignore the prompt by Sony PC Companion when prompted. If you can boot into ROM, check that USB debugging is enabled.

Drivers installed, USB debugging enabled, tried on two diferent computers.
I have some experience not only in flashing roms but also in rom cooking, kernel compilation, etc... and after all day I couldn't get it to go to flashmode. My girlfriend -she is the owner of the phone- remembered me we already have problems being unabled to access flasmode when she bought the phone and wanted to update it with sony software, so I finally took it to the shop so they can send it to repair service.
Thanks guys for your prompt replies.

New clean thread

This is to clarify my problem. Sorry if I post too much... Sorry.
I have an Arc S LT18i.
12W45.
My device boots into normal mode powering on. It can be detected by Sony PC Companion.
I accidentally put the Arc's (LT15i) "TA" onto my Arc S by Octoplus Suite. After that. I can't enter flashmode nor fastboot and there is NO 3G Signals in the phone. But in my Flashtool. Rebooting it into fastboot via adb. Works. I can boot to fastboot via adb mode but when I try pressing the Menu Button while connecting it to a PC it doesen't boot into fastboot. But when i try it via adb mode it boots. I tried all buttons for Flashmode and Fastboot and it doesen't work, this happened after I accidentally put the Arc's (LT15i) "TA" onto my Arc S by Octoplus Suite. Is there anyway I could fix this? CAN I BOOT INTO FLASHMODE BY ADB LIKE FASTBOOT? Please I really need your help. How can I reflash it? CAN I REFLASH using testpoint??? I know that 12W45 is not supported in testpoint by Unlocking or repairing IMEI. BUT IN REFLASHING OR REPAIRING TA will it work. Please help me I beg you guys. Please! Sorry...:crying::crying::crying: i'm just a starter...
If you tried everything and it doesn't work, the only way is to bring it to the repair center...

If the phone can be detected by PC Companion (as you mentioned) you should be able to do a reset from there, believe it's done through "Support Zone" which should be the first option and it will wipe all data on your phone.

[D5303] Strange! No FlashMode or fastboot! [HELP]

Hello guys
I forgot my Xperia T2 D5303 Pattern and i didn't use my gmail account to link it, thus i didn't set up passcode in case i forgot my pattern
I've tried to flash my T2 via FlashTool but i couldn't enter my T2 to Flashmode or fastboot
When i press VOL- and insert cable phone goes to charging and green battery icon appears.
I'm pretty sure that my T2 volume buttons working!
But the phone refuses to go flashmode or fastboot
The led is red or orange (when charging).
I tried using other Computer and different FlashTool versions,cables but i get the same...
P.S. Im on lolipop.
Please i really need your help since i can't use my T2
Thnx in advance.
Visit service centre or try with old flashtool version or try to repair by Sony pc companion..
For Sony companion click on update then repair my phone then select your device then it will download and ask u conect your phone
If all this not working make a prerooted zip by prf creater intall bt recovary
Are you sure the correct flashmode and fastboot mode drivers are installed in the computer?
I am having the same issue. I have quite and experience in installing custom ROMs on Sony phones and in particular, my Xperia S with Flashtool. I have also installed the latest version of Flashtool and proper drivers on multiple computers (Vista and Windows 10). The Flashtool Mode gets recognized but only for a couple of seconds then it will not respond further.
