[Q] Xperia Arc S bricked

I installed CWM on an xperia Arc S's, but the rom (CM10 nightly) seemed to have an error. No problem I thought, I have a backup. So I did a restore and rebooted the device. Unfortunately all I get is the sony logo. I've tried flashing with flashtool, which goes through the stages but the same problem continues. I've also tried using sony PC companion, but after selecting the device type it tells me it has no software avalible for the phone.
Really stuck here, anyone able to help?
Edit: Should also mention that I have no way to get into CWM now as it requires a phone that I can boot into to get into recovery. power+vol down does nothing.

Good news is you're not hard bricked, it's fixable.
Here is a good tutorial including a table with updated firmware & drivers for each Xperia device. :: http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/06/how-to-fix-bricked-sony-xperia-android.html
Use Gingerbread IF you had Gingerbread before. Use ICS if you had ICS before. It's probably not wise to mix.
Btw, is your bootloader unlocked?

Yer, I've tried that already. It'll let me flash the kernal I had before, but upon rebooting it still doesn't get past the sony logo screen. It was running ICS before, and I've tried the two kernals I already had saved on the PC. AFAIK the bootloader is locked, but I cant be 100% as it isn't my device.

here is the flashtool log for the record

Most tutorials usually assume you're unlocked. How about you unlock and try again? You should be able to still enter into fastboot and send your unlock code, it's been awhile since I've worked with an xperia but I recall fixing one by unlocking first.

Well it says that the flashtool method works with unlocked or locked bootloaders and I can't figure out how to unlock the bootloader without being able to do anything with the device. Any help with that?

It's not my device, but I don't think it is. Unfortunately I can't figure out (or find online) how to unlock the bootloader without some access to the phone.

Thought I should post to say that I found a way to fix it. I hate it when I'm googling issues and they dont say how it was fixed, so here is a link to the thread that I followed to fix the issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839215

Download proper FTF file and install it via Flashtool. Yours was kernel only.
And to all the smartasses out there - CM10 cannot be used with locked bootloader, so if he was using it, he must have had unlocked BL already.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.

Im have similiar problem about stop at Sony logo, I have locked bootloader.
First Im flash rom what I have for root, but its not help its pass sony logo and apper icon with exclamation mark, next Im download and flash orginal rom, go to boot loop stage, but in this point PC companion recognize phone and Im repair it.
Next again flash rom ready to root, rooting, flash right kernel and again instal CMW with x-parts, next install custom rom.
Phone working well.

[Q] LuPuS bootloop

hey,
I just flashed firmware R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_ENHANCEDV2 and right after that I flashed LuPuS-STOCK-GB+ICS-v1-720 (tryed also 480) - both using flashtool.
Now I can't enter recovery mode by pressing back arrow button. Nothing happens, it just reboots all the time.
What should I do?

Flash the neo-vendo.ftf to unlock the vendor partitions. Any other ftf will cause bootloops due to custom partitions

Hm, didn't work. Now it's getting really strange.
I still can't access the recovery mode, it just boots. I unlock the screen, enter my pin and after some seconds the phone just reboots.

So i downgraded it to 2.3.3 but i can't play the games i wanted so i decided to update it via the update function in the phone.The problem starts, while updating it suddenly turned off and could not start up, i just vibrate and nothing happens.When i press the power button it flashes green light once, not like the others flashes 3 times red light, so i think i not uncharged.When i flashes another rom, it will not reboot automaticly. The PC Companion also could not help.Pls help !!! I just bought it for 4 days!!:crying:

[Q] Fixing a LT26W, need some help to finish it

Hi,
It's been a while since I flashed/rooted a phone. I'm fixing my nephew's LT26w which got water damage. Got everything on the hardware side working (except the camera key, where the gasket is missing).
It appears that the bootloader is unlocked. I tried to update the device OTA to the .200 update which it automatically found. But I'm getting error messages that the update can't proceed because the device has modified software.
So I tried to get this device back to basic, and then update to the latests ROM, 211 (or 196). I got 200 working on it, but the wifi is just not turning on. It worked on the previous rom. So it's not a hardware failure.
I think that I'm missing a great part of knowledge on ROM compatibility on this device. So maybe there is a specific rom/region/type that can only work stable on this device.
Rooting didn't go successful. I tried the method where you start of with the docomo rom, ADB step 1, 4.0.4 rom, ADB step 2. But that one failed.
I got the flashtools drivers installed properly on Windows 8, and the device has the latest CWM installed. However I can't get CWM to recognize any ZIP files on my SD card.
The device is the following build: LT26 - 1266-3364 - Xperia acro S LT26w/Mobile Phone/TRI/Bla
Can somebody put me on the right track how to proceed?
Thank you!

a little update. After flashing to 200, the battery doesn't seem to hold enough charge and stays at 0%. I just retried flashing it with stock 211. Here's the log:

Now the device won't turn on for the moment. I guess battery depleted again. Showing only red led during charge. Is the flashtool log reliable?

Tried that already. But it seems that it was a combination of battery and charge failure. Somehow my phone couldn't charge more than 1% with .200 rom. Luckily 1% was just enough to flash the stock 211 rom. After that it depleted, and had to wait three hours again before getting some vital signs from the device. It is now 100% charged and working for the moment without any flaws. I hope the problem remains resolved.

[Q] HELP: Xperia M dual - "Type password to decrypt storage"

Dear Sirs
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I purchased sony Speria M Dual in Dec 2013.
In the month of march 2014, Phone developed a bug. One morning, when i switched on the phone after charging, phone is showing following message " Type password to decrypt storage". However, i had not set any password.
Then i took this phone to service center in Mumbai. After 15-20 days, they informed me that phone's mother board is locked and they have to change the motherboard to correct this error. And they also informed that changing mother board does not fall under WARRANTY. So they refused to solve the problem.
Phone is not rooted, Bootloader is locked. Phone is running on stock firmware...i think 4.1.2
I have tried flashing the phone thru PC companion ...but it says "update unsuccessful".
I have tried flashtool also...but again not successful.
Phone is not entering into Recovery mode.
I request you to help in resolving this problem
Regards
Kapil

Common problems disappear when flashing hh use flashtool.
Can you give me log in flashtool?
Sory for my engelish

That's nonsense! They're just basically going after the money. You don't have to replace the motherboard, that's rubbish. All you have to do is to download Flashtool by Androxyde, make sure that you have installed the proper drivers, download any FTF from the Android Development section that suits you, then flash it. If you need a more detailed explanation, then just reply...

Yes, please do post your log fron flashtool. what sony has said is a load of bullcrap, the warranty should cover it, your phone is faulty. Just for my own curiosity, do you have the adb drivers for your phone installed? And also which drivers did you install from the drivers folder in flashtool?

Okay, from the log it shows it can't flash the kernel from the ftf. Download a 4.2.2 ftf (the one for your device, 4.1.2 is for the single SIM) or a 4.3 ftf for the dual SIM and try flashing them. Post the logs, preferably in text format rather than picture format, if you get more errors.

Ok, i think i know what you might be doing wrong. Just tell me, (1) do you first press flash and wait for it to tell you to connect your phone.(2) Or do you connect your phone in flashmode and then press flash.
Just tell me 1 or 2

Download the firmware what you are currently running (15.2.A.1.12) and then press the lightning bolt in flashtool. Then click flash mode and then select the 15.2.A.1.12 firmware. Click the checkbox next to kernel and then click flash.
It appears as though your device is going into a read only state once it tries to flash the kernel.

Same as before, use the 15.2.A.1.12 firmware and tick the kernel and fota and then report back on how the process has gone.
