[Q] Phone stuck on boot screen. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i tried to apply a ROM called ultimate HD 4.0 or something. I installed it properly my phone told me so, but then it asked me to reboot (it said it was best to, so i proceeded), but when i rebooted it, my phone just got stuck on the boot screen. I've done a fair bit of research on similar things happening to other peoples Arc's, but all the answers have told the victim to connect ithe phone to their computer and re install the stock OS, but with mine since it doesn't boot up to the homesceen flashtool doesn't recognize the phone as being connected.
It was quite upsetting because i rooted successfully ,until that happened :crying:
Any and all hlelp will be definately appreciated i really dont want to spend money on repairing it because i know ill be charged more than its worth.

You're not supposed to boot up to homescreen download the stock firmware and prepare flashtool then connect the phone in flashmode (USB + back) when prompted. No need to switch phone on.

Yes....
To flash the stock firmware you need not require the device to boot..download the stock ftf and keep it in flashtool firmware folder....select thunder icon and select flashmode...select the firmware and select flash...when it asks you to connect... Power the device off and then press the flashmode key and connect the device.... Flashing will start automatically...wait till it says finished...
Happy flashing bro
Hit the thanks button..it does not cost you anything.
it's worth something for me...

It wont boot up .... Help!!!

Ok after my sony ericsson xperia play did the software upgrade while on the charger, it will not boot back up!!
Not sure what happend, but when you press the power button, it only vibrates once but will not boot back up!
It just shows a black screen!!!!
I have sent it in to the shop and we are stuck as to how to get it on.
You can not even get into the boot loader screen!
Its been a week, and i don't know what the hell to do!!!
Some one please help!!!!
Does the power button light up green when you hold down the search button while plugging into a computer? If so, use flashtool to flash back to the stock firmware
Yes it dose, the tech guy and me have tried to do so, however the computer sees the device but dose not know what it is, however even when the files are finished it sitll dose not boot up!

If it lights up green then you cant get into fastboot, it should light up blue, if im not mistaken!
Is your phone Rooted, with BL Unlocked, and do you have CWM Recovery? You said you can not get into Bootload screen? Did you mean Recovery? Try pushing volume down repeatedly while pressing the power button, continue hitting volume down till you see the recovery screen. If you can get into recovery just do a nandroid recovery/restore, provided you did a back up prior to your issue.
It dose not light up blue, but it dose not go into the recovery screen at all, in fact when you press the power button, gives a small vibrate and the screen is still black!
Also when you put it on the charger the LED light is green, really frustrated.
However, I am new at this, like I said only had the device for a day, and this happened after I did a software update, so I am not sure what a CWM means, kindly clarify, think of giving instructions not just to a newbie, but to some one that has no clue what is going on! LOL sorry man I really am new to all of this, I just want it to work, so kindly provide me with step by step instructions that you would give to a five year old child.
Hmm... that's interesting. A CWM is a custom recovery. Green light when plugged in means its charging. It sounds almost like your phones LCD is not receiving a signal anymore, if that's the case, seeing as you wouldn't see anything on the screen in order to even do a recovery, I don't see a lot of options here. If its brand new, then its under warranty, take it back and exchange it.

This has nothing to do with your LCD =|.
It's sony's stupid software bricking the xperia play for no valid reason ; happened to me as well.
Only fix is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service and keep on retrying the software update after it fails ; This is not the Sony Ericsson Pc Suite ; Also try removing the battery for 30 seconds after 6-8 retries on SEUS - happened to me a few times after the original occurence since i was trying to get back to complete stock.
Thanks for the input, I was lost on how to help out on this one! I thought it was only bricking the rooted unlocked phones.

I wasn't trying to get him to use fastboot (blue light), I was saying to go into flash mode (green light)
Its still not booting up and the pc is now saying it dose not recognise my device!!
What to do????
As long as you can get into flash mode(green light, when you connect to pc) you're ok, wel re trying on seus and eventually it will work
Edit- it can take around 10 retries in my experience

Connect it to your PC with USB, Then go to support Zone in Pc Companion then select Phone software update and click Repair and follow the instructions, it worked for me when pc companion decided to brick me...
EDIT: Or you could always Flash 2.3.4, tut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20151540 just follow the first two posts, I believe it will work if Flashmode is still working (The tut will tell you how to get into there)
correct me if I have said anything wrong, was in a rush.

[Q] R800i completely bricked?

Hello dear readers and great XDA members,
Last summer I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i with the testpoint method. Everything worked fine: I installed CWM and loaded a FreeXperia version of CyanogenMod 9.1.
A couple of days ago, I wanted to finally update my ROM to a newer version since there had been so many releases since last summer. I loaded the new ROM and everything worked fine. However, some of the problems I hoped would've been solved by the update, weren't solved at all, especially the video capturing and panorama pictures. So I decided it maybe would be better to flash a new kernel.
I searched for a kernel, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then, I can't remember where, someone posted the "boot.img" files included in the FreeXperia CM9 ROM zip packages were kernel releases. So I decided to use flashtool and flash the boot.img as a new kernel.
This obviously didn't work and I tried some others. By the way: I couldn't boot into ClockWorkMod anymore since I tried to flash a new kernel. Only fastboot and flashmode would work.
I couldn't remember which kernel I used last summer, so I wandered the internet and eventually found that an X10 kernel was included in Flashtool. I though I remembered something about X10 from last summer, so I decided to stupidly flash that kernel to my Xperia Play.
After this flash completed, my phone doesn't respond to anything anymore. Following a list of things I tried (everytime after I tried something, I removed the USB cable and the battery to make sure the Xperia Play was turned off):
- When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens, not even the small vibrate always felt when the phone starts.
- Getting into fastboot mode doesn't work anymore (I tried with holding the search button and connecting USB, as well as some other buttons, nothing worked.)
- Getting into flashmode doesn't work either.
- No matter what I do, the phone won't give me a sign it's still alive. (no LED, no vibrate, no screen, nothing.)
- I tried the Sony Update Service, but that obviously doesn't recognize the phone
- Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone either.
- ADB doesn't recognize the phone of course.
- s1tool (the tool I used for the TestPoint bootloader unlock) recognizes I plug something in, but then gives an error it can't get access to it.
- I charged the battery overnight and tried all of the above again... still nothing works...
- When I plug in the phone to the PC, my PC recognizes something plugged in, but with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager.
(by the way: I am using Windows 8 Pro x64)
Is this phone completely dead or is there any way it can be saved? I was planning on keeping this phone at least until the end of 2013 or begin of 2014 before upgrading... An immediate upgrade is not in my budget and for now I have returned to my Nokia 5530 on Symbian, but that's nothing compared to Android :'(
Thank you very much in advance... I really hope someone can save my poor phone. I know I have been stupid, but I think I somehow panicked when I couldn't get the phone back into CWM and stupidly flashed the X10... Stupid stupid me.
Well I always update to the latest working kernel when I flash a new rom. The one working currently for me is fxp152 kernel.
Have you tried with battery, holding the search button, plug it in, then hold the Power button while still holding search.
Contact Alejandrissimo, he can probably help you.

Thank you for the response! Where do you find these kernels? Are those boot.img files included with fxp zip files the kernel images?
I hadn't tried to hold the power button after holding search button + plugging it in, but it doesn't work either
I will probably contact Alejandrissimo in a couple of days if I can't solve it myself or if nobody else can help me solve it...
Thank you!

Hi Tommy,
I am very sorry for my late response. I haven't fixed my phone yet, but I fear only a hardware flash would work... I think I am going to try to get my phone back to the store where I bought it and I hope they'll fix it. If they don't, I will try to find someone who can hardware flash or ask Allejandrissimo (an Xperia bricked devices expert, it seems...)
I hope you will get your phone to work again! (And please let me know how you did it if you succeed). I will keep you updated if there is any progress. I am very busy at the moment though, so I don't know when I can get my phone back to the store. In the meantime, I have also bought a used Galaxy Nexus...
Greetings,
Sven
EDIT: I think I also accidentally flashed the X10 rom or kernel in the flashtool...
Could be easily fixed by flashtool, tried the same (flashing x10) and phone looked dead. The I toke the battery out and placed it back. Then I could enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf.

Maybe you still have a chance! Bcoz I think you have completely damaged ta files+ semcboot which can only be repaired by se toolbox 3 which requires credits(money)( I m assuming it'll detect phone bcoz s1 tool recognized it with error ) if you have it than you can repair it or you can contact alejandressimo on gtalk.

Hello Arbiterandrea,
I am very sorry tot report that I wasn't able to fix my Xperia Play. I sent my phone back to the online store I bought it from and it arrived there 1 day before my guarantee expired. When I got my phone back, it was a brand new one with a different serial number, no screen protector, not a scratch. And it was for free thanks to my guarantee, even though I bricked it myself. (I just told them "it suddenly stopped working")
If you've got any guarantee left, you could try that, but if I understand correctly you already tried that... Then I think you should contact Allejandrissimo, I've heard many good things about him. I didn't contact him myself, though.
Good luck! And let me know if you have fixed it?

Stuck on SONY logo

Hey all,
Yesterday I was about to flash a new ROM on my wifes Xperia S. She had an old ICS rom and I decided to go for the PAC MAN JB 4.2.2 ROM. Seemed ok.
I own a SGS2 myself so I consider myself a total noob when it comes to the Sony.
I know CWM works on on the XS and I am pretty sure I installed it when I romed it last time. Although I didn't remember how to enter CWM mode so I installed it again through that .bat file that comes with it.
I downloaded the ROM and the GAPPS and copied both to the phone. And now I thought I was set and went for it. Of course I did a Nandroid backup before and also from within the phone a full backup in Backup & Restore. Bootloader is unlocked by the way.
So now I boot into CWM and I do a full wipe/factory reset. I clear the cache and dalvik and also I format the system as he guides us to do in his installation video.
I then installed the rom or at least tried. Got the status 7 together with some error I can't remember.
I read then that people had issues downloading the rom with google chrome which sounds pretty far fetched but I decided to do what other did and downloaded the rom from firefox.
Then within CWM I thought to start the USB and copy it directly in CWM since I already had reset the phone and didn't want to go through the "new phone" routine. But the USB in CWM didn't work so I had to restart the phone.
It then got stuck on the initial SONY logo screen and I'm stuck there now.
I have installed the Flash tool from SONY coz I read in another thread that the only way out is to install stock rom. However when I connect the phone holding volume down windows 8 always say that the USB device is not recognized. I have of course rebooted the PC after.
I'm going to try this on my Windows 7 PC as well later after work but I dread I will be stuck there as well.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can get my wifes Xperia S to be recognized by her Windows 8 laptop? Or have I bricked her phone?
I have thought many times that I bricked my SGS2 but always came out on top, I don't want to lose this battle either.
if it says "Unknown Devices" when you plug the phone to the computer, try change an USB line or change a computer
if it says "Unable to install the driver" or another something like this when you plug the phone to the computer, try install the Flashtool driver
...any screenshots?
Windows 8 gives a balloon tip saying exactly "USB Device not recognized". And I did install the Flashtool to get the driver but I guess I still miss the correct driver here.
I will do some more troubleshooting after work. I just thought maybe someone had similar problem and had a quick and easy solution.
It also happend to me, just turn it off and flash stock firmware with flashtool (select all under wipe)

The issue is not actually the "stuck on SONY logo". The issue is that the computer wont recognize the phone when I connect through USB.
What did you use to get the correct driver?
Ok I actually managed to get it connected on my Windows 7 PC.
I installed Emma (Flashtool) and it installed something but I'm not sure really what happened to be honest. Light on the phone was green and it installed 4.0.4 ICS.
It was a success after about 217 seconds but after that the phone didn't do anything. Stayed with green light and when I disconnected it it could not be started at all.
Maybe it doesn't have enough power to start up. It is on 220V charge now so lets see what will happen with it.

Good news y'all.
All it needed after using Emma was some juice. Now it is back to it's normal self. And I'm not going to ROM it anymore. Soon JB will be officially out for XS.
True!! When I was a noob, I tried to flash cyanogrnmod on my galaxy ace (it was a year ago) and I stuck in bootloop. Idk what to do and I regret it, from that day I never flash any rom. But this year I flash xzxperience on acro s and it works but not so happy and then I flash stock firmware to normal. And I regret because i ve unlocked bootloader!! And now BE is not working anymore.

[Q] [HELP] Xperia ZL C6503 is Stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

Hello all.
Yesterday i was using my XDA App on my XZL and somehow the xda app mislead me to some Samsung subforum instead of the ZL original Android Development Forum where i surely clicked on that. Then i thought there was a new rom... downloaded and flashed with no errors inside NUT's Recovery and then it turned into a brick. So no response from my ZL no charging LED, there is no way to go into Fastboot or Flashmode. It will be always recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows.
What i tried is a tool for linux from here http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm and at the end it says qdl reset but its still bricked. So i dont know what to do anymore. Oh and i never Unlocked my ZL i just had Exsistenz 5.0.0 Rom installed on it.
What happens when you connect it with your pc, does your computer still recognize it as a phone? Did you try to use pc companion repair function?
when i connect it will be seen as QHUSB_DLOAD, PC Companion and SEUS dont see the because of that.
have you tried the reset button? press it and hold it in and you should feel one vibration after a few seconds....keep holding it untill it vibrates 3 more times and it should turn it off/reset it.
then try using flashtool.
Yeah i tried the reset button but its not working anymore its not even vibrating. It seems its complete dead.
there is one thing i could do, to rewrite the phone through QPST from qualcomm but i dont have the files for my phone, so i would need a backup from an c6503 from QPST
just a thought...there was a time or two when just pressing the rest button did not work for me, what i had to do was hold in the power button at the same time as pressing the reset. hold them both till you feel one vibration, keep holding till you feel 3. sorry if thats no help.
i Tried that but dont works too. Now i startet again ubuntu and did try the QHSUSB fix, so the ZL will be recognized as qualcomm modem blabla QDL mode that means qualcomm download mode. So when i do the qhsusb fix it will exit the qdl mode and try to reboot, but there are no partitions anymore on the phone so the phone enters again in QDL mode. When it exits QDL mode it will be connected as Qualcomm inc. in Ubuntu. at this time the Red led flashes for a few seconds until it gets back to QDL mode.
When the phone is unplugged and i press Power button one single time then the Led flashes 3 times Red, when i plug it in at the charger it flashes 1 time for maybe 1 second in Red, but doesnt start to charge. Then it seems to hang up so i need to press the reset button and it goes to QDL mode again, thats all i found out now. And sorry for my bad english
I hope some Dev could help me.
Now i found and Linux app called emmc_recovery which i can flash some .sin files some succesfull with no errors and some files abort. so i need an bootloader for my zl c6503 doesnt matter what file type it is. So how can i find one ?
Sorry, I can't help you. But there is a threat called Disaster Recovery. It's created by NUT, the dev who created the dual recovery for our phone. Since that threat covers ZL, Z and other Xperia-phones, many more people will read it. Maybe you can get help there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250
Sorry, but your phone is hard bricked. I experienced the exact same issue on my Xperia T. The only fix is through JTAG, or send it back to Sony and hope they replace it.

So you somehow through your own ineptitude or ignorance attempted a flash of Samsung software on a Sony phone and it bricked.....and you blame Sony? Interesting.

Where i ever blamed sony for my fault ?? And where i am ignorant ? You seem a typical troll.
If the XDA App would lead me to to right forum this would never ever happen. I flashed thousand times and never had a brick with my HTC One X. You can say what you want but the quality of Sony is far behind.
In my case, I flashed a custom Xperia T kernel from a dev who modified S1_BOOT and the bad flash put my phone in the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I tried absolutely everything and nothing worked, the phone was completely bricked. Now, if this can happen with a bad flash from Sony, imagine the havoc cross flashing device manufacturer's causes! Samsung software on a Sony platform? It's deader than dead.

Xperia M stuck on Sony logo

Hey guys , my xperia m ( single sim ) is stuck on the sony logo whenever i try to boot it up.
I rooted my phone many months and it was perfect till this morning and then suddenly it got stuck at the sony logo.
Ive tried to fix it via the pc companion but it doesnt detect it . Now the battery has also run out so when i try to charge it , it shows the led for charging but then the sony logo comes up on its on and stays stuck there. Please help =(
That is a simple soft-brick/bootloop (depending on who you ask, I'd say bootloop).
Charge the phone for a couple of hours and then flash stock firmware with flashtool. To do this you will need to download the stock firmware ftf (these can ALL be found in the general section, don't ask for links) and also flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php). Move the ftf to the firmware folder to where you extracted flashtool to (the C: is the best bet).
Once you have both of those things and your phone has charge in it open flashtool. Then click on the lightning bolt icon and then flashmode. Select the firmware you have downloaded.
UNTICK Wipe cache and data.
Click flash.
Wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode (do this by holding volume down (I think) while the phone is off and you are connecting the USB cable).
Wait for the firmware to finish flashing.
If you get an error saying that loader.sin has finished processing with errors open the ftf with WinRar (or something similar) and delete the loader.sin file and make sure that you save the changes to the ftf.
If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after flashing, remove your battery and then put it back in and try to turn on the device again. If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after that you will have to wipe the cache and data with flashtool.

I read about the flashing thing on other sites aswell but what i was worried about was the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting my phone will the flash be able to go through considering the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting it even the flash tool might not?

Flashtool will definitely detect it, don't worry. PC Companion needs the phone to actually be booted to be able to detect it, whereas flashtool only needs the phone to be in either fastboot mode or flash mode to detect it. Both of these modes are initiated by the user when they are plugging in the USB cable and holding the respective volume button and the phone is off.

Thank you for helping me just btw
I know this'll annoy you a bit but the version that i have to flash it with is the stock one? Because i searched on the internet and some are with the 4.3 one and some are 4.2.2 so im a bit confused. Sorry im kind of a noob at this T_T
And flashtool first says that my phone is connected with usb debugging on then says phone is disconnected when its not :/

Any stock firmware to the device will work, so it can be any of the 4.1.2 variants or and of the 4.3 variants (4.2 is for dual SIM). And don't worry about being a noob, all of us were at one point or another.

When you are flashing a firmware be sure to keep the cable firmly connected throughout the entire process (use a different cable if the one you already have is a bit loose) and don't mess with the phone at all. Can you post the whole log you got from flashtool? Either in text form or through a screenshot?
