while the phone is off connect it to pc, open Flashtool in fastboot mod. Flash a stock FW.
If that doesnt work open PC companion it should ask u to repair it if u follow istructions.

@deniel: It doesn't connect neither PC Companion or Flashtool. It doesn't enter in flashmode.

choose a FW
it will ask u to unplug the device and unplug it again holding the backbutton

:\ strange. if u try to turn it on what happens? and try with pc comapnion to open it an look for "repair" or "solve problems" cant really remember (with phone unplugged) then it will tell u what to do

Have you pressed the menu key while connecting phone to computer?

bricked phone have to be OFF(remove battery and put back if necesaary if it's stuck at sony screen), prepare flashtool ftf and follow onscreen instruction and the flashtool will revive the phone.
Or maybe you could show the error msg from flashtool.
you are really bold in trying the untested bootunlocker, this definitely is a hard brick. hope you get out of this one.

I tried with all.

Sorry for asking again: You started FlashTool (v0.9.8.0), clicked on the flash icon, selected "FlashMode", chose a firmware for your Arc S, activated "No final verification", clicked "OK", pressed the back button on the switched off phone WHILE plugging in the USB-Cable? No green LED - nothing? Did it work before?

Sorry if we repeat the same thing, but it must work like this: you hve the phone off and unplugged. You open flashtool, select the flash icon (flashtool), select the FW, and it tell u to plug the device to pc while holdin back button.
Sure u hold the the backbutton while pluggin in? and after have selected the FW ?

You've to select the firmware first before plugging it in.

Yeap. Is that I don't know how to restore my .TA file. I know what I changed but ... how????

Help me please??
LT18i
Locked Bootloader
Root access
Had CMW via Xtools, so when I replaced the rom that disapeared!
The problem is that I've forgot to run the 2nd part - device optimization, and now the touchscreen simply doesn't work...
Can't do nothing - USB Debugging is on by default (never forget that I can't touch the phone)
Can't upload another rom via flashtool, the only thing I'm able to do is change the kernel with the 1_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelDowngrade
If I try to put the uptodate kernel, flashtool stops on "Reading Device Information"
Already try to restore it with Pc companion, but no luck
USB device is detecting LT15 on windows!
This is a total mess, I'm lost, and I've googled and tryed dozens of things all day long.. I'm tyred, exhausted, and my 2 day old ARC S is bricked!!
Can someone point me a way out??
Remember:
- USB debbug of (have no access to activate it)
- CMW disapeared when installed this rom, so have no recovery menu
- Bootloader is locked
- Can't flash rom via flashtool
I'm devastated!!
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

First charge your phone for a while, then download flashtool and sony xperia s official firmware.
As your phone is switched off, press and hold volume down button and connect it to the pc, green led will turn on,then flash your phone with flashtool.
I always use this method when i brick my xperia s.

Try installing PC Companion or/and Sony update service and maybe you could use one of them to recover and install stock rom again
Or if you can't install it using PCC or sus, try flashtool again, because the two sony programs will install drivers , too

I have exactly the same problem with 2 of my xperia S'es. I really want to fix this issue, because it's beginning to be expensive to buy one after the other. Always going into this without really knowing why.
Neither PC Companion, Sony Update Service, or Emma work to recover....

[Q] Flashmode problem

I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.

Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.

I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

If it's a soft brick, you can repair from PCC or flash using flashtool.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.

How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.
