a friend has this phone, his children were playing games on the phone and suddenly the phone rebooted and since then the phone is stuck. It boots in to Sony and then Xperia, then a long vibration and back to loop of Sony logo.
It's not rooted, running on 4.04 stock, locked bootloader, and it's not even getting into recovery mode. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Dis you try, "Sony Companion" or Flashtools" ?
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
Thanks..
Not yet. I just got the phone and have tried getting into recovery.
I shall try the PC workout later in the evening after reaching home.
What do you suggest?
A reinstall of Rom via companion or flash tools?

First try PC Companion... and i was thinking... if it's not rooted how could you go into recovery mode.... i think it's impossible if you are not root...
So when the last rom will be installed by Pc Compagnion... Root it (flashtools and/or doomlord's method), install a recovery (like X-parts an app on market) and and like that you can do what you want with it...
Tell us if it works...
/////
Oh i see you have habs with samsung's or htc's phone... They have a recovery without root but not the sony's one...
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
I just have one query...
How will flash tools or companion work when the device does not settles down, as it's in bootloop, from Sony logo to xperia logo, then a short vibration and sometimes a long one and screen goes blank and then Sony logo, and xperia logo, it's going on and on.
Please enlighten.
Thanks.

He was wrong when he said PC Companion, you need to use SEUS, Sony Ericsson Update Service.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
You can use SEUS if it works yet but i'm not sure....
BUT you also can use PC COMPANION which works....
No need to turn on the phone, do you know "the flashmode" it's a basic.... so you can follow my tuto on my signature...
AND please follow exactly the steps before posting it doesn't work...
You can also try FLASHTOOLS...
phone back to life.. PC Companion worked in first shot..
thanks a million.
Trully happy for you... Now don't forget to write something like [SOLVED] in your title...

The led is still orange/red and the phone do not switch on, i have to manually plug off the battery and then plug in again when is unplugged from the charger.

Which cwm recovery do you use ?
Afaik its related to recovery .
i don't remember what recovery i had installed, and i don't have access to the phone right now.
i only remember it was a custom recovery with blue UI and that the power button was "back"
there is any recovery is should flash instead?
I had this with my wildfire, and it never really bothered me lol. Anyway it sounds like you have clockworkmod version 5 or above.

I have same problem with cwm 3. Idk why it occurs but i don't care about it (;

It happened to me as well. The work around is to switch the phone on before charging it. Once you reach the bootanimation plug in the charger and it should work as normal. BTW I am using cwm 4. If your phone is completely dead (ie it won't switch on) then plug it in for 15 mins, unplug it pull out the battery and then switch it on and charge it for the remainder.
It's a problem with Clockworkmod 4.0.1.4. Use one of the newer versions like 5.0.2.7. Known problem, offmode charging bug

You are right,but cwm 4 is stable,and support Aroma install
Odp: Phone stucked wile recharging
cwm 3 also is totally stable and supports aroma (; probably this is a bug caused by rooting and cwm and u can't change it

Hi guys,
I have got really big problem - my i8160 is completely death. After reflashing via odin and after restarting he does nothing. Is not possible turn-on, or start flash mode. The phone is doing nothing via USB also. The worst case for me - I did not reset flash counter = No warranty.
Does it mean GAME OVER for me? Pls, does it exist any possibility to do something?
What are you try to flash? What rom you use before "fatal" flash? When you press power button, are the phone vibrate? Give some more info.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk 2
Can you describe step by step what did you do with your phone before it died. What did you flashed via ODIN? Where and what did you restored? We need to have more data to help you.
If it is completly dead ... do not worry abour flash counter. Give it to the warranty service. Many of my friends bricked their SII or SIII due to EMMC brick bug. None of them had virgin flash counter ... every phone was fixed. I think Samsung does not care about flash counter anymore. Almost every flash counter can be reseted, so what is the point?
If nothing helps, there is always a way to do JTAG:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030059
http://www.techgsm.com/JTAG_Samsung_i8160i8160P_Galaxy_Ace_2,156835.html
It is cheap and easy (if you do this for the second time). If you have basic soldering skills you do not even need to buy adapter from second link. But after JTAG you loose your warranty for sure, because you must manually clear paint from JTAG pins on your i8160. I have recovered my Kindle and my Asus router from dead state using good old PC-AT with RS232 and some JTAG cables.
AW: Death I8160
Try to send it to Samsung. Maybe it's really completely dead and they can't find the cause.

Ok, I try to describe what happened. First of all, now the phone does nothing = no start, no flash mode, no vibrate, no signs. I am from middle Europe. For some reason, I have flashed a official T-com FW from Sammobile but not the last version. It was file "I8160BOLE1_I8160TMSLE2_TMS.zip". After flashing via Odin was everything OK, the phone has started OK. After that, I was looking for updates direct in my phone. The phone was downloading via 3G a file 8,5MB. Then he asked me about restarting. I confirmed this request. He has restarted in flash mode and he was flashing the updates (8,5MB file). Then I went away... After 5 minutes was I back - the phone was turned off.
That is me story.
What can I do?

Don't tell them your story! To flash via Odin is not official and you lost warranty. But nobody can test your counter so nobody knows you flash via Odin

Hi guys!
So, my sister got a Galaxy Ace II yesterday with some ode stuff, then I decided to install Cyanomod 11, BUT more problems appered:
1 - My Windows 7 (64bits) doesn't recognize the drivers.. so it no even list the phone as conected. I tried using Kies to detect and a bunch of packages of drivers of this smartphone model, but till now haven't made any progress... what can I do?
2 - I reseted the phone to original especifications by his own menu and tried to acess its Download and Recovery mode by pressing the 3 buttons at the same time(Vol UP + Home + Power), but for my surprise it didn't boot like it should, jus initializing normaly...what can I do?
3 - I realized, when it booted, that the boot animation has been changed, samsung logo doesn't apper ever and including I found some stuff installed that doesn't seem to be something that generic stock roms have instaled; this made me think that the room installed is not its stock. If that's so, maybe the problems listed above are resolved, but still so I don't know what to do...
I want to install Cyanomod 11, but need the phone recognized for Windows, it rooted and in download mode, but haven't find a way to begin if my computer doesn't reconize it...
Any Help?

2. did you hold the buttons? another way is to use quick reboot from play store

Yes, I hold the 3 buttons at once and waited to it boot, but it jus performed the normal boot, it didn't get into download or recovery mode... I tried many times, but it's always the same...
And I know that CM has it's own boot animation, I know it, but it's not it this time... it's another one... and for what I know, it's not the samsung original one...
Having Kies installed is counterproductive to installing flashing drivers (and if you sync contacts and calendars with Google I can't even think of why you need it :angel
Try unplugging the cable while entering recovery, the LPM mode (charging while "off") screws it up (but download mode should work!)
And by "no Samsung logo", you mean not even the firmware's "Samsung GALAXY ACE 2 GT-i8160"? Sounds like you got a fake then...
But if it boots, you should check the Settings/About menu and tell us the "build version", often that's enough to know what ROM is on it now

Ryccardo, I installed Kies in the hope of having the drivers easylier recognized... But that was not my luck...
About that trick could you be more especific? Do I put the phone off with the cable plugged to PC and when I press both 3 buttons I unplug it?
About the version it is :
DM_BASE_12A_W12.43|sc6820_modem|11-02-2012
And this means that??? It's not the original one, right?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Recovery mode is: with power off, hold up+home+power (if it's on, it will reset since you're holding down power... keep holding it) and download mode is the same with down+home+power...
But that version is VERY dubious, the standard Ace never had "SC6820" (maybe it's the L model?) and I don't even think it was out at the start of 2012...

2nd post there mentions "Star I8160"
