Arc died after 2.3.3 update

Hey folks, my Arc came up today saying that there was an update to the latest software 2.3.3 so I thought why not ill let it go through and update my Arc (wish I hadnt now) :*(
The update downloaded and then went through the update process next thing you know the phone now refuses to boot, charge or anything else.
I can put the phone into flash mode but unfortunatley I cant use SEUS as the bootloader has been unlocked and the phone was rooted.
Any idea how I can flash the generic lt15 rom I have downloaded? any help will be greatly appreciated as it feels like my right arm has been removed (I might add im right handed)
Thanks in advance for any responses.

download flash tool whihc can be found in the xperia x10 development section, and download the generic uk rom or world rom whichever one you prefer which can be found in my thread in the development section

Are there any instructions for the flash tool?
Thanks.

Don't worry. As the other user have said this, you can download flashtool and flash Generic UK. It fixes the problem most of the time.
Good Luck.

Dont worry I just found them

Right just flassed the bad boy but still refusing to boot, one thing to mention is that the notification led flashes whilst holding the power button
It was doing this before the flash.
Any ideas?

so the flash was successful right?, it usually takes a bit of time to boot up, if it doesnt work, then flash the carrier firmware, and call them up and get it replaced

The flash went though and the flashtool said to unplug and reboot but no dice.
Unfortunatley I didnt get the Arc from my carrier I bought it separatley so I cant return it

ANyone have any ideas? this things driving me nuts.

When you said refused to boot. You mean you don't even see the sony ericsson or the logo? Have you tried removing the battery and flash it again?

All I get is the notification LED faintly flashing green when I hold the power button, I have removed the battery and replaced it and tried flashing the phone.
One thing to note is that as soon as I plug in the phone it seems to go into flash mode straight away and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting (the flashes do complete before the disconnecting)

You said you are unlocked bootloader, then go to Bin4ry thread and install the img file for your phone and should fix it as well./
When you tried for the first time to update to 2.3.3 did you have enough battery. Sometimes during flashing the battery empties out and make sure that is not the case.

Urgent help needed

Well it seems my Play has finally died.
Woke up this morning and my touchscreen wouldnt respond so I reflashed the ROM Im using (MIUI v4).
Now, for some reason, it wont make it past CWM no matter what kernel I flash.
So I used Flashtool to go back to a stock ftf and it freezes at the SE logo. However, when connected with PC Companion it gets to the lockscreen but the touchscreen wont work :S
Im at a loss completely :S
Any help would be great

Woo man.. That sounds srious. Its like the phne touchscreen has been disable. Did u try flashing a kernel with full touch recovery n see if its touch-able?? Just a suggestion. Its really weird how that happen, really. It shouldn't matter if u plug ur phone to pc or not. If the screen boot it should respon with any touch u make. Weird...

I tried the CWM with touch support and it doesnt respond at all. When I flash a ROM it wont make it past CWM so it seems like Ive got 2 problems. Well, if I flash a stock ftf file it sticks at the first Sony Ericsson logo as well so flashing back to stock isnt a solution either
EDIT: I appear to have life CM9 has booted to the main splash screen. However, touch input is still gone

No man....don't say that. You have been a big help here, especially to me. I wonder what you did to that screen and if it happened from a rom flash or what.

I flashed an MIUI ICS rom and the following morning it was locked up. Now certain kernels wont go past CWM.
FXP kernels seem to work for me though but the touchscreen doesnt work. Some of the stock firmwares wont even boot but even if they do, the touchscreen doesnt work. Ive wiped data/cache/dalvik so many times but I havent a clue whats happened :S
Im still gonna stick around the Play section though
This has been the only phone issue thats ever had me stumped completely

Did u did a factory reset also before flashing anything?

Can you enter the service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* in phone dialer?? Then you can test the touchscreen, hard keys, proximity, ALS, and almost all other functions. I'm not sure if its the same numbers for all versions of Play or just AT&T's version. If not google service menu+android or something. Or maybe its something that can fixed with computer by the guys who unlock fix Sony phones.(Jinx13 & alejandrissimo-*probably misspelled)

Sure. U can test the touchscreen on that menu. If u can get to it. The code r the same for all xperia phone, i guess.

Got to that menu and its still not responding to touch.
Sold the phone for scrap today. I had no warranty due to unlocking the bootloader via the Sony Unlock site so sending it for repair was out of the question. Moving on to HTC at the weekend. Gonna get the Explorer I think it was

Do you think that a battery can die just like that with no reason?
I think its a software problem and not a technical one.
does anyone have another solution?

You have good reasons to believe it's a software thing, yet you also don't.
Focus on what you are able to do at the moment.
Since your phone is just a brick now, no matter what your suspicions are, you need to test it with another battery and eliminate possibilities.
Either the rom you flashed bricked your phone, or the battery just decided to call it a life. Either way, you need a battery to test whether it did actually die, or to determine whether it's a true software issue.

Yup it could happen(at least to me). My battery can last 10hours then suddenly when I woke up in a morning my phone dead. Use charger while power on only last to samsung screen. Thought it's a softbrick so tried to reflash but not working. Luckily I have a friend with the same phone so borrow his battery

so I checked with my friends battery and it still seem to have the same problem.
so does anyone have another solution maybe?

Have you tried to clear Data/Cache? AFAIK Odin does not clear them. You can try to reset all partitions with Odin using PIT file and then without rebooting flash stock rom. Hope that helps.

Faulty display replacement or software issue?

So I broke my screen kept it lying around for 24 months then finally got it fixed this week
After replacement my power button doesn't wake up the screen at once
prolly press 20 times before it wakes up
The capacitive buttons light up on each press and even vibrates with fingerprint but screen stays off
It works fine in twrp lock screen. Locks and wakes up properly there.
The repair guy said that it's a software problem so he'll software reset it for for me I send it back
just clean flash havoc os latest but still the same problem

nope because the system drivers are corrupt so it needs to be reset by unbricking the device

ok thanks, but can u explain me the steps , cause i don't exactly know how to unbrick. Cause I've never done so.
I don't want anything wrong to happen.

Firstly download the unbrick tool I have sent you through the link then switch off your phone and make sure cable is unplugged then hold the volume up button on your phone and then plug in the USB cable to the computer and phone then on your computer and open device manager and make sure under ports it says Qualcomm 9 and then extract the unbrick tool then run mam as admin then click start

This has a collection of unbrick tools and versions of OOS.
This contains detailed instructions also.
Hope you solve your problem.
If not and you still have warranty for the display (OnePlus gives atleast 3 months warranty on replacement), take the phone to the Service Center. In fact, if you have warranty, that should be the first option.

Thanks for the response.
But I don't think my device is bricked, cause the phone is on working mode, but it's just that whenever I lock my phone.. It does not gets unlock on the first attempt. I need to press the unlock/power button end number of times & the phone still don't responds. It gets crashed and the System UI error occurs & asks for force stop & the phone is lagging a lot. I can't even use it properly.

I would still recommend doing it

Not that much. But it is happening every 5th time I try to unlock my phone.

By this point you have two options get another device or get your op3 and take it to a OnePlus service center and get it repaired
