Hi,
i tried to install one of the custom ROMs for Xperia Arc s (JellyBean_V03). I have stock ICS 587, rooted. I installed CWM through X-Parts. Entered recovery, wipe/factory rest, wipe cashe, dalvik and than flashed jellybean_v03.zip from sdcard. It stopped at "initializing update" and than it showed ERROR "status 7". I tried one more time - the same. Restarted phone and now it's stucked at SONY logo. I can enter fastboot and flashmode - i tried different kernels - still no luck. I Flashed Baseband V77_Global.TFT - no luck. All of them are flashing with some kind of errors, after witch flashing is continued. I dont know what to do. I've read a lot of threads about it but i cant find a clear solution and i dont want to do more damage Now I'm downloading SEUS - i try that one, but i dont know if its possible to run it if my phone i detected only in fastboot or flashmode.
Any help would be appricieted
Hey again, trying to delete this link. SEUS helped.

Hey,
i flashed through SEUS, than recovered everything, than rooted again. I didnt try to flash any other firmware until i find out more about locked or unlocked bootloaders, cuz i think this is my problem.
duythanh28:
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service, run it and it will guide you through the process. It will install the latest, stock firmware, wiping all the data.
thanks for your helping, i will try when i go home

Download SEUS from SONYmobile website and follow the onscreen instructions. You should be fine. And - as XperienceD noted - try another USB port if SEUS wont be able t revive your phone.

I had encountered this problem once before.
After trying to flash a custom ROM,PC Companion and SEUS doesn't recognize device.
Flashing stock ROM did the trick.
You should try it.
Good eve.. Please help

xperia arc boot loop Reflash Stock ROM or your backup.
HI,
Thank you..
I'm sorry I'm still new about these things
I just can't flash it because my back-up is .img file..
And I don't know how to flash .img files..
Thank you again..
I've tried downgrading the kernel into .431 firmware (which is compatible to the theme that I tried)
but still, boot looping..
please help
What I did is that..
1. tried to flash a theme for .431 firmware
2. boot it using CWM v5
3. then, after rebooting the device, boot loop happens
I can't enter CWM on the sony logo (or I am pressing the wrong button)
now I can't flash back to my nandroid back up.. :'(
please help ..

download flashtool, install it under a Windows pc download stock FTF file and flash it into your phone
---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------
And get a stock image here: http://uploaded.net/f/bd4cif
Hi thank you..
I just did the flashing
But still, boot loops ..
I really don't know the problem :'(
Here is what I did to install that theme..
● Copy the .zip to your sdcard
● Boot into CMW
● MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
● Did you make a nandroid backup?
● If not, go away from this thread immediately!
● Flash the .zip
● Clear Dalvik Cache
● Reboot
● For wallpaper, Xperia S lockscreen, deodex/supercharge/LED fix check post #3.
● Enjoy!!!
i really don't know if that clearing that Dalvik Cache caused the problem..
I really don't know
pls help ..
Did you even read the previous posts? These say everything how to fix your phone.
And if you got bootloop, doing it the same way will not make it any better, it will just result the same - bootloop!

How can your nandroid backup be a .IMG file?
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
I print screen how I did the flashing
(and I think I'm doing it wrong)
Flashtool only tells that a device is connected but never stated what model is connected..
After flashing, still ..

dont use CWM v5. reflash to stock firmware, download 'x-parts' from play, and istall cwm with that app and see what happens
Hi (my first post at xda!),
I once had a nasty BootLoop like you have. actually, even worse - at some stage, the phone didn't start at all - AND usb wasn't responding... worst case scenario lol.
Be advised, this will bring you to clean stock unrooted phone.
- What you need to do, is restore the original rom+kernel (stock), using SEUS ("Sony Ericsson Update Service") software (download it).
- You'll need to connect the phone with a special recovery mode enabled, by plugging the usb cable to it while holding The Other Button (Back button) that gives A GREEN led light (this is NOT Fastboot mode that shows BLUE led light).
- After the phone is connected in that manner, simply follow the instructions in SEUS and let it download and flash the original software.
From here, you'll have a factory-new unrooted stock rom+stock kernel device, but you'll probably manage with re-flashing and restoring your Nandroid afterwards.
- Use this as a last resort, as it's what they call "The long way".
Get back to us with the results.
Mike.

It's not a special recovery mode it's the standard flash mode, but this is basically what you've been advised to do on the last page.
I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.
Thanks n regards

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

Did you flash correct kernel for your ROM? The ROM will not boot if the kernel is not compatible.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
Hi! I just bricked my C6503 when I wiped cache+data and flashed a CM10 zip (this one: http://get.cm/get/jenkins/42533/cm-10.1.3-odin.zip). I had clockwork mod recovery installed by this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251093 (I installed the CWM6-cray_Doze_v2.1-ENG.zip).
After rebooting it just wouldn't boot anything anymore. Just the blinking red lights if the phone was plugged to the wall charger and the blue light when I started the 'fastboot' mode by pressing power+up while connecting to the usb port of my computer.
I can send fastboot commands but I can't flash boot images (it just returns an error).
My phone bootloader is not unlocked (aka still locked). I tried unlocking it by the sony process but the code they supplied me (after I filled my IMEI, name and e-mail) just won't work.
PC companion has no options for fixing this and the EMMA (aka flashtool) complains my phone is not unlocked so it can't do anything. Please help me! I just want to get my stuff back how they were! (Using OnAndroid I have made a nandroid backup of both apps and system data which are stored in my SDCARD. I backed up the apps and data with titanium too).
Well, that's what I know about the problem right now... Do you guys have any solution for this?
If you want to flash AOSP based rom, u have to unlock ur bootloader because it need different kernel. Kernel can only be flashed with unlocked bootloader.
For ur issue, download ftf and flash using flashtool.

I recently got my Xperia M updated into 4.3 JB and rooted it. Since I had my eye on the cm11, I had to unlock the bootloader. So I did everything perfectly as prescribed in the sony developer site. As I unlocked my bootloader, I tried to normally boot it but it is now stuck in a bootloop. I installed CWM by fastboot thinking that it may help.Please help me!!
thats normal... follow steps
1. flash ftf again
2. boot once
3. install cwm
4. flash anything u want

The same problem after I installed cwm. After that everything was back to normal.
Thanks everyone, now I am relieved a little.
I cannot flash it. When I connect the phone in flash mode after the flashtool has prepared the files an error comes that processing of loader.sin finished with errors and flashing is aborted. Please help me!!
Can flashing a custom rom using recovery help me beacause the flashtool won't work using any of the ftf files?
