Stuck at Sony logo

So, I was using .431 generic global world (GGW) build for my xperia arc till today.
Today, I noticed that .587 GGW came out and decided to update.
I already had unlocked bootlader with no root with .431.
First, I backup everything & factory-wiped my phone.
I tried to enter flash mode with no avail for over 10+ tries.
Then I decided to trick SPC update to force my phone into flash mode.
It put the phone to flash mode as I thought.
I successfully flashed .587.
Then I started to root.
I used the guide at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26805903&postcount=3
After the 2nd step I noticed that I can't enter the flash mode even with SPC trick.
I deleted all previous usb drivers and settings.
I also reinstalled all sony software and drivers from scratch.
I was still unable to enter flash mode.
Then, I noticed I could enter fastmode.
So, I renamed the ftf file to zip and extracted the files.
Then, I used fastboot mode to flash new kernel.
Phone was rooted and working.
I installed CWM and got a full backup.
So, I thought why not try a custom mod after the root.
I decided to try Hybrid MooDeD JB-ICS 100.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717
I followed all the instructions to the letter and made the install.
The phone asked for reboot and when it rebooted it got stuck at Sony logo.
I checked the thread a little bit more (my fault for not checking all before but in my defence it's 101 pages..) and it seems it's kernel is based for .431 and I was using .587.
So now, I can't enter the flash mode nor fastmode and the phone is stuck at sony logo.
Help please...

can you enter recovery if yes then flash appropriate rom
and also try to remove battery for 30 or more sec and connent phone while holding back button to get in flashmode or search to get in fastboot

Have you tried flashtool to flash it to 4.1.B.0.587 ?

OP: How come you can't access flashmode or fastboot mode? Then you are doing something wrong. Besides, problem is that you didn't install proper custom kernel for the ROM.
And previous ROM has nothing to do with it, doesn't matter which ROM you had earlier, new one will install and delete/replace all the files.

I realise that. I put all the info up to OP so that ppl won't waste time by asking me what happened exactly.
Nevertheless, I really can't access flash/fastmode at all. I tried removing the battery and start clicking all the things before putting the battery back on. But nothing happens. I just see the sony logo.

Yes I did read all post but for your kind information if you can boot upto se logo most probably you can get in recovery.... And he cannot go in fast boot so taking off battery is too helpful someTimes

So as soon as you place your battery back in does your phone turn on ?
if it doesnt i think you should be able to access either flashmode or fastboot mode

When I put the battery back, nothing happens. Phone doesn't get powered up. As soon as I try the key-combo for flash/fastmode, phone starts up as if it's going to enter the modes but only sony logo shows up and gets stuck. I really have no idea how this could happen.

Damn !
hmm thats odd isnt it ? Are you sure your holding the specified buttons before pressing the power on button ? Sorry about all the Questions just making sure

if you can boot upto se logo so your semcboot is not broken
so now tell me if you could enter fastboot before you unlocked bl?
and try to unlock it again using test point method (there is also a free one with S1TOOL if you had bl unlock allowed = yes if you could recall) i recommend not to use paid one bcoz you can pay that to sony to recover it and may be after that you could get into fastboot mod
if it didn't helped try to repair semcboot or trim area contact alejandrissimo for that it also follows testpoint method and its free
i think now only way to connect phone to pc is using testpoint!!!!!

nevertheless, I had left my phone at a local repair place. It seems they fixed the phone but downgraded to GB.

Only your recovery and possibly boot partitions are touched, so worst case you can always get to download mode. However if the phone won't turn on at all its something not directly related. What happened before you rebooted into this state?

Mine's doing it too man. Installed the app. Phone is rooted but stock recovery. Let it do its unlock thing and said yes to disable LGE security. Then tried to reboot using the volume and home keys to get to recovery and it gave a "Secure booting failed. Cause: Device Unlocked so boot success!!" message. Then LG logo again then AT&T animation and that's as far as it gets. No recovery menu, no normal boot. Just AT&T.
You get yours figured out yet? We gonna have to LGNPST back to stock?

If you bought the phone within the last 14 days then you can return it if not you can call at&t and speak to warranty and they will send you a warranty replacement your other option is to ask if they have a local warranty center they can try to flash it or exchange it.

Are you sure you were putting it into download mode? You take out the battery. Then put battery back in the phone. THen I believe you hold the volume down key and plug the phone into the computer. Then LGNPST should recognize the phone after you change the COM port to I believe 41 or 42
Edit: You hold BOTH volume keys while plugging the phone into the computer. It needs to be completely off when you do this.
Edit 2: Here's the guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
Switch it under device manager to COM port 41. Now flash tools should recognize it.
I'm honestly bummed that I'm now going to have to re-setup everything again. I just had to flash my phone 2 weeks ago to get rid of 2nd Init recovery to install the value pack. Now I get to do it again, then run the update, then re-root, and put my 200+ apps back on, lol. FML. I guess this just isn't the phone the tinker with. Never had any of these issues on my S1, S2, S3, HTC One, One X, Note, etc. Oh well.

Tried it didn't work thanks for the help anyways guys i have a 90 day no questions asked with Costco so i'll take advantage of that any way to export text and call logs? Too much to ask right?

Hey do you remember what version of freegee you installed? I think somehow you might have gotten version 1.0.6 instead of 1.1.0. Ive been through everything and the only thing that could have bricked you was using and older version of freegee. I didn't post on xda till Google showed the updated 1.1.0 version was live but maybe somehow you got an older on?

Hi XDA
i didn't want to make it a long thread but i have to , bare with me here :
first i followed that topic on XDA : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
i tried to install twrp with imageprep but after rebooting it says secure booting error or something like that
i also tried this after that but with the same error https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2we1YDc5JGU
but always the mobile was rebooting and opened like nothing happened
so i searched the internet for a solution i tried this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YZ0i6aFsfM
but i guess the file attached weren't compatible so it ends up with an error before doing anything so there was no option except this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-secure-boot-error-trying-to-boot-t3054977
and here comes the misery , cuz i just got my phone and after the step while you write the commands in the android terminal emulator
and BOOM everything went black
NO BOOT , NO RECOVERY , NO DOWNLOAD MODE , absolutely NOTHING :crying: i freaked out a lot , but after searching for 3 days i've found this xda thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091
sadly i'm now on LGE AndroidNet USB port (com 11)
and what i'm getting from this thread that i've to short circuit two pins in my LG G3 Motherboard so i can switch LGE AndriodNet USB Port to Qualcomm 9008
Before anything else i want to make sure that i'm on the right track so just want to approve these steps :
1- open the phone
2- to make the device read as "Qualcomm 9008" not as "LGE AndriodNet USB Modem" i have to :
a- short cut the pins in the photo you provided "without the battery" for 3 minutes
b- connect the phone with the USB cable in the computer "without the battery"
c- my PC will detect the device as "Qualcomm"
3- after that i'm good to use your LG G3 unbrick method
are these steps right ?
just need to know when to plug in my battery and when i connect the phone with the cable , the pins must be connected or i can just connect the pins for 3 minutes and then remove the connection between them ?
Please anyone answers me with the exact steps or give me a short video on how to do it alone because i'm still rookie at these stuff
thanks xda members :fingers-crossed:

If you have asked for help in the threads you have linked, without receiving a response, you can try quoting someone that may know or use @ before their user name like @sd_shadow
This is a very technical and likely very few people have even attempted it, so it may be awhile before the right people log in to XDA and see your post.
This thread will be moved to G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I too am having issues with my LG G3 trying this method but the thread linked has been closed.

Hi, i just solved this problem like just an hour before. And yes all your steps are right but make sure you select same port in the tool too,
And do not remove the connection between pins until your device recognize as Qualcomm

G3 Hard bricked, need help

So, I am a victim of the McAfee killswitch. I rooted my phone, then unlocked bootloader, but I made a mistake and had to flash kdz. For some reason, the kdz i downloaded was locked in mcaffee, so i really struggled but managed to install twrp, and of course root. The phone worked fine for a long time, but then I messed up and got a bootloop. The thing is, my killswitch is engaged now, so I can't just go into TWRP and wipe, or go into download mode. Both locked. And if i try to boot normally I just get the loop... So my questions are: Is there a way to get into TWRP directly (without having to confirm, phone could reboot to recovery just fine). Or just flash kdz, i don't know, anything. ADB shows device offline and sometimes unathorized, fastboot doesn't detect it. LG service said it will only fixed if i replace everything. Any help?

Sounds like you need togoba I to stock using lg flash tool

Kdz

How will it put my phone into download mode? If i click start, it says the phone is not connected to the computer. My computer can see the device as ADB device, but only offline or unauthorized.

When I used it my phone was stuck on the LG screen. Flashtool found my device and started the upgrade then it booted my phone into download mode

That does not work for me.. The program is stuck at 60% and telling me phone is not connected.

The only other option I can think of would be to a hard factory reset. Make sure your phone is off then hold down power and volume down together when the LG logo appears keep holding them. It should take you to that menu

I already said I can't go into recovery like that, because there is a killswitch activated on my phone.

I guess it will be very hard to flash KDZ or TOT cause you need to put your phone to download mode or need to connect ADB. following the post.

You saved me, thanks a lot!!!

Please confirm this is bricked

Hi guys,
I know there are plenty of posts about bricked phones and I've read most of them. Just want to do a sanity check here. If my phone has a LOCKED bootloader and USB debugging is NOT enabled, there is nothing I can do in terms of flashing an image right? I can enter bootloader and stock recovery, but when I boot to OS it bootloops.
Just want to confirm my only option is warranty claim with Google and there's no way to enable USB debugging other than from the OS?
Thanks in advance!

Go into the bootloader and on a PC with adb run "fastboot flashing unlock" and see what happens. I don't think you need adb enabled to do it but I could be wrong so just try

@piotrus22 another option would be to go into recovery and adb sideload the latest ota package from google.

Can you side load with debugging off?
Also have you factory reset from recovery?

Not sure if you can but it wouldn't hurt to try. That night work too

Try to sideload the latest ota image.

im having a similar issue. my phone just started to bootloop randomly yesterday, i tried to flash stock and once i get to the setup screen it shuts down and reboots...

thanks guys. i actually tried to sideload and was successful, but still no booting up. still get the boot loop. interestingly enough when i try to sideload again, i get an error message: device '(null)' not found

Well unfortunately you're out of things to try.
If your phone happens to be a 128gb model this is actually quite common.

Further confirmation of problems with some 128 units.

I hope your phone is under warranty because Google won't do crap if it isn't. I'm a proud owner of a POS 128GB brick thanks to their junk they sell.
