Hello everyone. I've been searching the forums for two weeks now, and I haven't found the solution to my problem. I accidentally deleted all system apk's from an Xperia Arc, and now the phone gets stuck at boot loop. It shows the Sony logo, the Xperia logo and then restarts. Flashtool recognizes the phone, and when I try to install a recovery, it restarts. The phone is rooted, but recovery does not work. Hard reset does not work either, nor can I flash the kernel with flashtool. Sony PC companion recognizes the phone, but I can't get it into fastboot mode, pressing the back button while connecting the usb cable does not work. What can I do to get the phone working again?
Can you try to flash a FTF stock firmware first? If you have problems with fastboot you should try flashing a full ROM first.

Hi popthosegaskets
I did try to load a firmware with a ftf file. I follow all instructions carefuly, and when I get to the part where I have to connect the phone to the usb cable while pressing the back key, nothing happens. I have Windows 8.1, gordon gate drivers installed and FlashTool 0.9.13.0.
Did you install the latest Windows 8.1 update?

Thanks Diabblo, I will try this when I get home later. I must say that my computer recgonizes the phone, but I'll give it a try, I'm desperate and I want to find a solution to this.
Update is installed, and I cannot get into fastboot mode, nor can I enter recovery mode and the phone keeps restarting.

sorry can you give my a little rsume of your phone actualitty and before,
stock ? bootlader unlock ? recovery ? kernel ? rom ? firmwarre numbers ?
PC, 64 32 bits ?
have you try flashtool ?
If you can geet in recoverry try flash a custom rom (for locked or unlocked )
Last chance if pc and flashtool do not reconize you use a live cd ubuntu or somme other linux to get phone back a life.
Thanks
ask if you need more explanation
accuracy

Windows 8.1 64Bits / Yes, I have tried Flashtool, I cannot get into recovery. The phone was in stock rom, I tried to install Clockwork recovery mode, but it didn't work. I then cleaned all system apks, thinking that it would erase the previos recovery and allow me to install a new one, so I could install a custom rom (Zelly Cream V3). The phone is rooted, but keeps restarting. Locked bootloader, I cannot give you firmware number, the phone does not boot into android.

Okay show how have you install/try cwm recovery the first time ?
Yes flashtool is not for get cwm is for flash stock ftf, you don't need cwm to is working.
copy ftf in good folder launch flashtool and Just follow the instructions.
I would suggest u to install Windows 7 and flash stock firmware ftf using flashtool. In Windows 8.1 fastboot & flashmode drivers are only working if u have usb 3.0 port in ur pc.

The problem is that the phone itself won't enter fasboot or flashmode. The led does not turn blue. I don't think it's a problem with my computer, but I'll try with another computer.

Can You access recovery? If Yes, then You can push files via adb while being in recovery. If not, then flash a kernel(boot.img) of any 4.4 ROM which consists of pre-installed recovery (most of them do). Then You will have recovery and can follow above steps.

Welcome and happy flashing
I had unlocked the bootloader and then, flashed global stable, but unfortunately, the mtp (and by the way, fastboot and adb access from a pc) was somehow disabled, and to complete the disgrace package, i have just the original mi recovery. I'm currently at the lastest global stable rom, 10.2, without any hope. What can i do?

No, i can surely enter on fastboot but it wont connect to pc. By the way it just dont works.
is your problem solved? Because I'm also facing this same issue and i have tried almost everything which i could.
I'm on MIUI latest version and I'm trying to downgrade miui verision to 10.2 through OTA updates in order to fix it but it's showing downgrading is not allowed and I'm completely stucked.
Plz if anyone know to solv this out kindly let me know.
As issue says MTP not working i also can't flash TWRP recovery from fastboot and since i'm on stock rom, my phone can't be rooted and i can't edit build.prop file to enable mtp.
Thanks.

Lol win10 is a bad joke... use usb2.0 hub or search for reg fix on xda forum. Or use win7 or linux.
And there is few versions of fastboot.
I have a problem. i want to install stock rom with miflash. when my phone is turned on and I press refresh in miflash my device is there, but when I'm in fastboot (volume down + power) then the device is not visible, why?

Mtp driver is not the same as fastboot driver
so it could be the driver not installed
