Hello
I have an arc s stuck on the SE boot logo, even after successfull flashes with setool.
Clean board and no damage .
What could be the probleme.?
*Edit:
Cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power)
What did u Flash ?? locked or unlocked bootloader ?
It belongs to a not so smart friend,
so he doesn't know to tell me ...
I know its hard to guess a problem but what could I try?
all sow cant get into recovery (not with Home + Vol down + Pwr nor with Menu + Back + Power).
ok Download Flashtools .
Then Flash a Framework file which is a .ftf file to the cell with flashtools. I think then it will be ok ...

hmmmm....i think its used for bootloader unlocking. ( not 100% sure though )...
just do the things i mentioned & u r phone should b (fingers crossed) running A ok.
Just for your referance of the Frameworks :-
Build no. Android Version
4.1.B.0.431 --> 4.0.4
4.1.A.0.562 --> 4.0.3
4.0.2.A.0.62 --> 2.3.4
Get flashtool download the lt18i firmware and flash it.The phone should be ok after that.Locked or unlocked bootloader it doesnt metter .U can find the stock 4.0.4 ics on the general section of the forum
Nop..
again the same thing, stuck on logo..
The flash went OK with no errors, but still its stuck on the Logo.
Use SEUS, should do the trick. However, bootloader should be locked and phone should not be rooted.

I think its a boot loop...this might happen due to many reasons..is your phone rooted??bootloader locked or unlocked??
did u install any custom rom?? etc etc..
the solution is simple..just flash the stock rom (.ftf file)..
hope this helps u..

SONY logo after custom image
Hi,
I want to flash my phone with a customised image.
Try`d with several different ones here at forum.
My phone is rooted (Flashtools tells me) but no blue led when booting, why?
I have installed x-parts and booted to recovery, then installed Update.zip from SD-card
but when rebooting it is always stuck at SONY screen, why?
After flashing with ftf it is ok again, but i want a new custom image...
Please help

I had same problem yesterday after flashed custom rom but i had flashed with LT18i 4.1.B.0.587 ftf nd my phone is started working!!
download file from here and try...
h**p://www*mediafire*com/?rhr59r4o6oarnfx
I just bought my Arc S a few weeks ago and I Flashed it with MIUI by placing the zip file in the root of my SD card and booting my phone in CWM Recovery mode from there I selected "install zip from sdcard", I choose the MIUI zip and then I rebooted but the problem is it just got stuck on the Sony logo.
I have tried every possible key combination every possibel way and none of the them did anything to my phone, flash mode didn't work and neither did recovery, that means that hard resete won't be an option.
I previously had ICS 4.0.4 with an old kenel, it was rooted and it had CWM, everyhting was going fine until I tried to install MIUI..
I didn't made any previows backups.
Is there any way I can recover my phone to it's factory defaults or do I realy need to lie to sony saying that it stopped working after an official update, because it still has woranty.
Please help, I just bought it I don't want to lose it so fast :crying:
Thanks for reading and sorry if I wrote anything wrong, English isn't my native language
Hi ! Try to go in the recovery, Do : Factory reset, wipe cache. After that, go in "Advanced" => Wipe Dalvik Cache & Battery Stats (Optional) and then, flash again. And make sure your kernel is for MIUI and not Stock Kernel. Sorry for bad english too.
And if he's still stuck on boot logo, download the .ftf files (4.0.4) for Arc S and flash it with Flashtool. (Phone in flashmode, to do that you need ; Remove battery, wait 10 sec, put it, press the back button and connect your ArcS to your PC)

Thanks for the reply but I said that recovery didn't work, I've tried Vol. Down while powering on my phone, pressing both the left and the righ buttons, Vol. Up, Home+Back+Vol Up... But nothing does anything, it's stuck at the sony spash screen..
go to repair with pcc or seus
pc comagnon
sony ericsson update service
or
flashtool and a stock rom 4.0.4

Hm.. If you have Recovery, you should be able to go in.. Push vol - a lot.. I mean like : *push* *push* *push* when you powering your phone.. Or try the flash mode. Download this file , FlashTool (Drivers for Fastboot mode / Flash Mode included).
Install Flashtool, install flash mode drivers (C:\Flashtool\Drivers)
Place the .ftf file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares and follow these step :
1. Remove your battery
2. Wait ~10 sec
3. Put the battery back
4. Launch Flashtool
5. Click on the lightning, select Flashmode
6. Select the .ftf
7. Wait until flashtool ask you to connect your phone
8. Push back button & Connect your phone on your PC. (Keep it push'd for 3-4sec)
If you have "Flash Aborted" try again. (Cause the drivers aren't installed yet )
And if you have used x-parts for install CWM, no more Recovery after update/flash phone.
relax, that was one of the challenge when using custom rom.
all problem seems solved with flash tool
download here: flashtool, get it on "instalation" folder
download the firmware (tft): firmware
follow the step provided by WrathChild08 here
Alright, thanks for all your replys,
Pushing repeatedly the Vol Down button didn't work, I'm going to try the flashtool method.
I'll report back later, thanks again
THANK YOOOUUUU SO MUCH!!
It worked!!!
I used tried flashtool, flashed it with a firmware I had and boom, it worked!
Thanks you :laugh::laugh:
Enjoy your new xperia arc S !
And be careful next time dude.

guys i whanted to install a rom but i forget to unluck my boot loader and flash the bootloader and i only installed the rom from cwm
now when i powr on my phone i only see this:sonyericson
what shoul i do now?
Use flashtool to flash stock ftf of your model.
Sent from my R800x
i di that but it said that you sould install drivers and i installed them but it always gives that error
when you start flashtool dont have your phone connected. just click the lightning symbol then click flash mode. select the ftf file you need to flash. then when it asks for you to connect it in flash mode turn off phone then hold the back button and connect to usb. it should go thru.
thanks
thanx for youre help i have my phone back:laugh:
now booting my phone
Not a problem man.

hey guys
2 days ago i flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263625
after flash my Phone constantly restarts and i can't make Phone calls. By that i mean: i can pick up the calls but the other side can't hear me and i can't hear anything too. I even can't hear the voicemail.
So i decided to wipe dalvik cache and factory reset via CWM. I realized that CWM didn't work. i just can't get into recovery.
When i came home i tried to connect my Phone to my laptop but that didn't work neither. i can not acces my Phone using USB.
my laptop tried to install drivers but that didn't work. so what i see is that my laptop cannot recognize my Phone, pc companion could neither.
i've read the ROM thread again and i saw that there are to versions: UB & LB. i installed the UB on my xperia S and now model name says LT26ii.
And after that i saw one more thing: before flashing this ROM i had to flash the kernel first. i was so stupid because i didn't read everyhting.
and then i tried to flash this kernel via fastboot but i cannot get into fastboot. when i hold VOLUME UP and plug usb cable, i see the blue led, when i pull off the led goes out and my Phone restarts.
i don't know what to do
can anyone please help?? :crying:
thanks in advance!
try this
So im asuming that your Xperia S didnt flash properly , i suggest you re-install your FW
Method 1
Use flashtool to flash a STOCK FTF (do not forget to wipe Everything) (FTF can be found on XDA file server(Google it)
method 2
use a revovery to RE-install your STOCK ROM (if you dont have one there is plenty on XDA)
method 3
if all methods above dont work then try sending your xperia s for repairs or find your local super nerd

ok, so your phone can still boot??
calm down, i install this rom too and it is ok
could u still transfer file between your laptop and the XS??
if u can, plz download the trinity ultimate kernel first and flash it
and kernel is usually not flashed with fastboot, but flash with recovery
cant get into CWM?? hmm, is it possible for u to install it again??
maybe u need to try another computer if u experience the adb error (yeah, my pc has that error sometimes)

I had the same problem once, and I had to install Xperia Arc's fastboot drivers so my phone would stay on fastboot.
Here are the ones I used, you have to manually install them.
you've chosec the wrong options in aroma
it's so simple
just reflash the rom and make sure this time you don't choose xperia sl

Go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager
When you connect the phone through fastboot, something should appear, right click > properties > update driver > search driver software on computer.

i tried but windows cannot find my XS even not on another laptop i use.
i wanted to install the fastboot drivers for Xperia ARC, just giving it a try but i still cannot acces my phone through USB
I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
