thank you guys i fixed the flashtool program coz it was corrupted & flashing went fine, but my phone isn't rooted yet, any suggestions on which rom should i use after rooting with flashtool.
Rooting will allow you administrators privilegies, so you can mod it.
For roms (custom rom) you need to unlock your bootloader which will break your warranty from sony.

i am planning on getting rid of my W8 & buying a Arc S....but i am a bit stumped by a couple of things. i like modding my phones....my W8 was pretty modded out...i didnt unlock the bootloader & ran stock kernel but i could still flash custom roms. can i still do that with the arc s? i mean do i have to unlock bootloader in order to install any custom roms?? & are the steps to rooting an arc the same as rooting an arc s?? any help would be appreciated....
arc S can be rooted with zergrush method very easy...
on locked booltoader so far can instal only 2 custom rom based on stock firmware...
also theme, mods can be instaled with CWM on locked BL..
Which two roms are you talking about? Can I flash even with cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 nAa r2? (the one with thd auto_installer in themes and apps category) thanks for you attention!

Hi guys
i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want
basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question
the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side
the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning
Model: LT18i
Version:2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..
if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.
Then you can start messing around.

Can you tell me from where i can download that because i had found this which is mentioning that is working for my version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
please also explain if i can use the back up to reflash my phone in its original state at any time i wish and how through the phone or by any third party application like Odin i.e. and where can i locate the back up file inside the phone or SD memory
i am owner of S2 and i am doing pretty well but with Arc s i am just noob
yea...i did the same too....rooted it installed CWM & backed up my rom & tried to flash a custom rom that didnt require bootloader unlocking or custom kernel.....i managed to do sumthng do the phone...it got stuck at the se logo...it wudnt even go to CWM....later the guys here advised me to use flashtool to reflash a stock firmware...& i did & with my fingers crossed...did so & got my arc s back alive.....after this episode...i lost the nerve to flash custom roms in my arc s......& i have been flashing custom roms in my w8 & this never happened.....this shows that the arc s development area is still not ironclad yet
btw...i do have a question.....i am a bit confused by the system info from antutu benchmark....the original stated RAM for the arc s is 512MB. but in antutu benchmark shows total RAM as 335MB.....i dont get it.....can anyone else confirm this??

Try looking at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
There you can find enough info to help you on 2 levels: -
Level 1: getting the phone up and running again -
Look for a stock rom, and flash it with flashtool.
This should start your phone normally.
Level 2: getting a custom rom on your phone.
If you are sure that your bootloader is unlocked, then you can try flashing a custom rom with a custom kernel.
This is the exciting thing about unlocked bootloader. You can flash anything onto your phone
If you are not sure about anything, then just look at the level 1 thing - "get your phone working normally."
After you know that trick, it is easier to experiment a bit more.
Good luck.

U will also need a custom kernel to flash. You can flash that via Flashtool. (Search the threads u will find flashtool). Then but the ROM.zip on your sdcard and choose install from zip in CWM(Recovery).
As the user above said I would have a look over the heneral section; so that you get some knowledge.

I can summary some step for yout to go :
1 . Unlocking your booloader phone following that instruction : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087
2 . Searching for ROOM that yout want to flash , it avaiable with .zip file .Download it and DO NOT extract .Move it to your SD card
3 . Download and Flash kernel which is recommend in ROOM installation instruction (Example : Xperia Ultimate HD recommend Advandced Stock Kernel).To flash kernel ,you can refered to instruction of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838916 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087
4. After you flash kernel with CWM recoveyr built-in.Turn on your phone . When the logo of kernel is appear .You press the back button 4-5 times to access CWM recovery mode .If it can access CWM you can install ROOM from sd card which you moved to at step 2 by choose first line of CWM command ("choose install zip from sd card" )

I've not actually "blamed" you for anything have I, and if you are stuck at a step you would have been better replying with what you're stuck with than taking umbrage with someone that was actually trying to help you help yourself.
1-st step: unlock bootloader
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2-nd: installing ClockWorkMod (CWM). instractions how to use CWM: just google search it. The easiest way is to download "X-parts"(needs root: see 3-rd step) app from google play and it will install CWM automagically.
3-rd: Root access by DooMLord the best one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
After doing this steps you can download any custom rom and install it via CWM. I recommend you CM10(jellybean 4.1) by FXP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780316
first step is essential yes. Unlock the boot loader. installing CWM and root is not as all ROMs / Custom kernels have autoroot & CWM.
So copy the ROM.zip to sdcard. flash kernel via flashtool or under command line
Code:
fastboot flash boot (kernelname).img
, then boot into CWM (check the op of the kernel you are using, to find out which hardware key is needed to boot into CWM). wipe data ,cache and dalvik cache from CWM. Then install the zip. Then reboot the device.
Hopefully this stops the needless bickering. Although I understand from both sides. On development sites, reading is your friend.

What is "dead boot"?
Does phone vibrate when powered on?
Any lights on led?
What happened when you plug it PC? (nothing, something...)
What happened when you press search or back and plug it in pc?
What is your model? i,a,at,x?
How your phone died in first place?
Do you have locked/unlocked bootloader?
What was latest firmware/rom installed on phone?
did you overclock it before it died?
If you just saying "help me, my Play is dead" and not providing any info, then no one will be able to help you. Even worse, no one will be willing to even bother asking questions that you should say in first place...
And yes, one of reason your Play don't work is that motherboard is dead, so no one can help you. Just be ready for that answer even if you don't like it

Well, good news, you Play is not tottaly dead (green light means battery is charging and full)
Do you have drivers installed for phone?
-Try the following:
press and hold back button and while keeping it press connect usb to PC. Now right click on "my computer" and choose "manage". click on "device manager". Do you see anything named "sony" there. What exactly does it say? (something like sa102, unknown,etc...)
-Did you try to flash stock firmware with flashtool?
Guide where to download and use it can be found in thread [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
And you can download firmware from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post, choose file named R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf
-Did you tried to repair with PC companion?
You can download it from Sony's site
-Did you tried repair with Sony update service?

press and hold back button and while keeping it press connect usb to PC. Now right click on "my computer" and choose "manage". click on "device manager". Do you see anything named "sony" there. What exactly does it say? (something like sa102, unknown,etc...)
-Did you try to flash stock firmware with flashtool?
Guide where to download and use it can be found in thread [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
And you can download firmware from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post, choose file named R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf
-Did you tried to repair with PC companion?
You can download it from Sony's site
-Did you tried repair with Sony update service?

thank you for the good news.. actually the repairman said that only JTAG can repair this.. but i think its so expensive.. i don't have much money..
i see it under device manager>usb controller>SEMC flash device.. do i have to update drivers.?
yes i tried to flash stock firmware.. its says that its finish that i unplug my phone and then open it.. but still only vibrates..
i tried it with PC Companion it says that i have a modified software. and in sony update is also like that..

Hm, if PC Companion don't work, try Sony's Emma Software
But i am in doubt that you can repair it yourself if Emma doesn't work

It is not impossible, but as i said, for you could be very difficult (since you don't know much about Play's hardware and it's probelms)
As FaiselW said, try also to relock bootloader.
Bricking is common fault when doing OTA update on unlocked bootloader
Check this thread also, it might help you
