Na, there are no "Xperia Arc S-Driver", only Xperia Arc

I got the drivers installed, but when i connect my Arc S to my computer, the computer doesnt see it. Fastboot or flashmode or normal mode, my computer does not noticed the phone. Thats strange....

Install drivers from "C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe"
Select "Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro IS11S, Xperia acro SO-02C driver"
"Flashmode Drivers"
"Fastboot Drivers"
Have problem to flash lacking of "loader_unlocked.sin"
Go to "C:\Flashtool\devices\R800" copy "loader_unlocked.sin" to your model folder fot example: "C:\Flashtool\devices\LT15"
~~!!!~~
Before flashing, never turn on your phone, and connect to your PC.
Until the sign call you to connect it
Hope this can help you

[Q] Changing LT15i to LT18i

So.. I'm using CM7 at the moment, and I have changed my build.prop from LT15i to LT18i.
STILL it says 'LT15i' on PC Companion when I connect the phone to my computer.
Anyone know how to change this?
Its just a silly thing, but it annoys me quite a bit.
Did you change every occurrence of LT15i to LT18i ?
Yes. Replaced ~8 LT15i's. The marketplace and all the apps knows I'm using a LT18i, its just the PC Companion that still sees it as a LT15i.
Maybe you've to uninstall the PCC on your computer.
Then activate Install PC Companion in Settings - Sony Ericsson - Connectivity settings.
After that connect your phone with your PC and install PCC again with the upcoming prompt.

Flashtool drivers problem

Hi everyonen, i just hard resetted my pc and just installed back flashtool 0.9.5.
I installed the driver that were in its driver folder, i also let pc companion install them but everytime i connect my Arc S (Debug USB ON and MSC), flashtool dosent reconize my Arc cause of the driver, infact if i check the device connected to pc, the arc is shown as without driver. so i tried to manual install them from it and it failed. few months are passed since first time i did it did i forgot something?
Just plug in your arc, go to your Flashtool folder and install them straight from there [With your device connected]
Kudos!
already did, also through pc companion and manual but i continue to get this
15/011/2012 10:11:26 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
15/011/2012 10:11:26 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
Now when its on it reconize him, but when i turn it into fastboot mode to flash the kernel it gives me the error again
Could someone post the download link for the latest flash tool?

So I'm gonna try and root an LT18i. Do I install the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, .... drivers and Flashmode and Fastboot drivers? Also, I heard that for flash tool to work, PC Companion and other Sony applications shouldn't be present on the PC. Correct?

Did You selected to install fastboot, flashmode and Xperia Arc drivers in "Flashtool Drivers Setup"? (C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe)
Maybe bad USB cable?

Yes, you have to install the driver first as @duona said

Go to ''device manager'' in your computer; see if your device drivers are normal; even if it is, I would recommend a complete reinstall of all drivers and programs xperia related. Tell me, are you using Windows 8? If yes, you should now that Windows 8 doesn't install drivers correctly, at least flashtool drivers.

Have you tried Sony Xperia Flashtool Emma?
It can be found here https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/.
Sent from my Sony Xperia XA2 using XDA Labs
Finally I was able to bypass "device connected in flash mode but driver is too old" error and flashed successfully by continually deleting somc device in device management while phone is connected in flash mode until somc device stops appearing in device management but rather, unknown device under "other device"...
