Is there a way to completely restore my arc s to the state when i bought it? Because i have bricked my phone.
I had .587 with 4.0.4. Rooted it fine, got superuser. Installed CWM and busybox. Downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697167 and installed few tweaks. Then I tried installing supercharger. I had to upload my service.jar on this website and then download it back and move it to system/frameworks. I did that, and after rebooting all hell broke loose. In the lockscreen I get "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" and few other errors too. So I booted CWM recovery and tried to restore, no restore found. Then i formated everything. That didn't help. So I browsed xda forums and found this darkside super wipe. Installed that in CWM recovery mode. Now my phone wont even start. Phone freezes on SONY screen. I tried flashing something and it works, but still booting freezes on sony screen. So do I need to flash something or do I just throw my phone away?

You are installing kernel only.
You need full FTF file, not just the kernel.
Search better. Or check my signature for example.
Hi,
plz help me make my phone working again. I wanted to flash cm 10 after manged to flash cm9. cm 9 ran after trying everything out for hours. Today i downloaded cm10 and flashed the kernel. after that i wasnt able to open the bootloader, so i flashed cm9 kernel again. That worked so far. i was able to open bootloader again, but it showed an failure notice whilst installing cm 9.
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "r800i" ......" this is copied with the endings r800i/a/at and zeus
E: Error in sd /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried it a few times. Flashed cm 10 kernel, flashed cm9 kernel back, but its always the same failure notice. I would like to use cm9 again, it was good at all, but i wanted to update cm10 today. Please give me an how-to what to do unbricking my play.

If you're able to flash, you're not bricked. One thing is to make sure you are clearing data, cache and dalvik. That is often the root to the sort of issues you have had. My recommendation would be to find the correct ftf file for your model of Play and flash it back to stock. Get that working first, then go with CM10 if you like.

Hi I think you are flashing wrong file line 5 (03/044/2013 12:44:33 - INFO - Selected Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf) you need a stock ftf file!
I have used R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf file before found on this site somewhere might be wrong but would try flashing that file hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:

Scroll down to the downloads section.
thanks for that information, but i tried flashing 2 files, at first the relock bootloader ftf. because i read somewhere that flashing firmware with open botloader with "OTA" will brick your phone. so i wanted to be save and locked bl before flashing firmware. if you read on into log there is another ftf. and a failure notice. because i tried today so many things, my accu is fully empty (3 times red led blinking) so i hope itll load a bit tonight and i can go on trying to flash cm 9 tomorrow again. but this file should be stock firmware isnt it?: 03/045/2013 12:45:01 - INFO - Selected Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
its from uk, im from germany, but only want to boot once and than flash cm9, so i dont worry bout that. last flahing try come further than log posted already i think. ill try flashing that file tomorrow again, cause i think that flashing failed cause of battery was too low.

I'm sure as long as the led works theres life in it
Maybe battery dead
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Strange but true, the dreaded red light of death. To fix it u will need a spare micro usb.
→ Cut micro usb on the micro end.
→ Strip back the plastic to expose wires black(negative) red(positive)
→ get sticky tape an connect it to the positive and negative terminals on battery(they are marked)
→ plug it in to wall socket
→ 3hours or so battery should be ready to go
→ phone SHOULD boot normally
Its happened to me and one of my mates. Both our devices fixed this way, but up to u if u want to take the chance of ruining a micro usb

thats a strange way of loading battery. Luckily if got 2 usb cabels for my play, so ill give it a try. but my phone wont boot after doeing this, it will only give me the chance to try to repair it. an mobile without working rom wont boot i think. its unlogical that i cant load a phone without an working rom. i hope i dont make me crunchy if i connect microusb with electricity.

Ok goodstuff, just be careful and dont plug phone in untill u have the sticky tape on the battery. When your phone has enough battery then u can flash the ftf via flashtool

there are 4 cabels in my usb cabel, one is red, one black, one green and one gray/white and many metalstripes around them. do i have to connect the green and grey one also, or only the other both?

Good luck! By the way don't think you needed to have the battery in the phone to charge that way?Might damage phone more! Back to original problem can you get into recovery?(once battery full lol) if you can daft question but are you flashing cm9 from zip on sd card?Also can you flash other kernel's with fastboot ,DoomLords,Lupus,etc if you can try some of these and rom's to go with them.Get your phone stable with a rom before trying cm9/10 again.Also don't worry about locking your bootloader again as long as you do not update over the air you will be fine.I think your problems started when you tried to lock your bootloader again.:fingers-crossed:
Ye looks good but u dont needto have battery connected into phone as its the battery your charging.
Let me know how it goes

battery isnt connected to phone, its only laying into
EDIT:
@tallman, thanks, i hope i wont damage all
i flashed kernel and came into bootloader, but it showed failure notice i posted on first page of thread.
i hope i can flash stock firmware with full battery. after that ill try to flash cm9 again.
and yes, originally nonbooting was due to relocked bootloader
Edit2:
didnt worked, 3 red leds are there again. i think the cabels, especially the - cabel hadnt enough contact with the battery. do anyone know any tricks doing this better?
Edit3:
i cut now more of the isolation of the red and black cable away, so that i have more metalcabel to fix it on the battery. lets see if it loads now
If that don't work you can always buy a battery

i dont wanna buy a new battery if theres any other way.
maybe that would work: Sony Ericsson EP900
problem is that i cant find it anywhere. its on amazon, but its not available. buying a new battery isnt a problem itself, but i would like to buy it at a store, not via internet. and i cant find an market where i can buy an battery for xplay

i hope it works now. i couldnt fix the cabels on the battery contacts with tape. now i pressed them onto the contacts and pushed battery into my phone. so theres an constant pressure and it loads hopefully

ive got win 7, and what version of flashtool do u have? i hope i can flash stock firmware today. Yesterday i couldnt do that because flash- and fastboot modes were only stable for 20 seconds or so, after this time green/blue led expired and my phone didnt showed any action
EDIT:
i think battery charged now, but i think also that i cut the wrong micro usbcable. one is thin and long, one is thick and big. i cut the short one because i thought they are the same cable. now my netbook doesnt installs the drivers for the cable, it only says "unknown device". with the other cable that i cut it worked. so ill have to buy a new cable and a new battery if i can find them anywhere. i hope ill be able to go to the nearest city where i can buy one. this will take some time because im living far away of next city, and my mother, wich drives there at least once a week is sick at the moment. so i havent got the opportunity to buy one the next few days :-c
Edit 2:
i got an new usb cable now. i was able to unlock bootloader and flash cm9kernel. now im trying to flash stock firmware just to make sure that my phone still works normally. than ill try to flash cm9 completely
Edit3:
cm9 runs now. great! bit i cant write anything with the virtual keyboard, and an phone without keyboard is completely useless. can anyone help me making the keyboard opening?
last edit:
the bug that my keyboard didnt opened was because i installed the wrong gapps. i installed jelly bean gapps, with ics gapps all works perfect
for returning to CM 9

I think you are very new to mod world and suggest you that first know the terminology of mobile developing fully like kernel, ROM, bootloader, factory (or Stock ROM) , baseband, android versions, custom ROM, what CM is actually etc etc before trying to kill ur phone!!!!(joking)...
same happened to me before a few days on my xperia play R800i phone but I was successful in restoring it back to CM 9.1.0 after unsuccessful try of restoring it to factory(Stock) ROM that came with it from sonyericsson.
Though there are many more experienced memebers but try mine at least once no harm...
1. make sure ur battery is full or 70% at least
2. put the CM9 ROM u downloaded in SD card in home directory(home means just put inside SD without making any folder on SD card)
3. enter into recovry mode (i assume you have clockworkmod recovery already installed)
4.do factory wipe/reset and then cache wipe
5.do dalvik cache wipe (u can do step 4 & 5 one or two times just to be in safe side)
6.install zip file CM9 (make sure you have stable version only) from SD card
7. reboot phone
I hope you should be successful now step 4 & 5 is important to wipe any mess that was created by CM10 if not successful then move the battery from phone wait for about 2-3 minutes and try again above steps u should succeed. good luck!!

If your getting the Sony logo you should be able to restore the phone using the SEUS update software http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Hope that helps

Thanks for the answer, but i'm afraid this is not possible, SUS just UPDATE the firmware and doesn't RESTORE the OS, i am on the last available officiale firmware in my XS so SUS doesn't help me!

Hi guys!
I have read through all Xperia S topics regarding bootloop, but couldn't find anything that actually helped so I'm creating this new thread.
Until yesterday the phone worked decently, not perfect, but it worked. All of a sudden when I try to open any app I get the message "Google Play services have stopped working" (or something similar). I thought that a restart might do the thing so I turned off the phone after which I started it. Surprise!!! I get the Sony logo then Xperia Logo, restart, Sony logo then Xperia logo, and so on.
The phone has not been rooted, and it runs the latest stock firmware (4.0.4).
I have tried repairing it with PC companion and SUS, but I get the message that the battery is not fully charged. If I plug the phone to the wall charger, if the phone is off it will just start in the bootloop and it won't charge, no LED, nothing.
I also tried flashing the phone with Flashtool, from what I can tell the flashing was successful, but the phone still doesn't work.

Before I send it back for warranty, I thought someone else might have a clue about what the hell is wrong with this phone.
Cheers guys!
Did you try turning off the phone by pressing the power and volume up button long enough until it vibrates three times. Try connecting the power cord afterwards and see if it charges.

Yes, I did try both SOFT and HARD reset. The outcome is the same no matter which one I use..
So you did nothing to your XS and it bricks
After hard reset plug it to charger for a night
(even if nothing happens let it charge whole night)
Than flash stock firmware using Update Service.

If you didn't root it or flash custom ROM, and you wrote that you didn't, I would advise you - use your warranty.
Something is really wrong with your phone, so if it's still on warranty - use that.

You have unlock bootloader? If not don't install custom rom for UB . If you have UB use fastboot and flash new kernel. If you have LB use flash tool or Sony app and flash rom. If I help use thanks button.

stuck in boot loop
I flashed a wrong rom, now stuck in boot loop(i can still go into recovery), after thorogh searching i found a solution but i don't understand how to make use of the code/script...plz help, i'm desperate
Using ADB BY Samantha
DB can be used to access the phone while booting, be aware that some bootloops make it unable to use ADB since they do not go further then the manufacturer logo. (In new CWM versions it’s possible to use adb)
The only tricky part about using ADB with bootloops is that you have to do it on the right time, this is different from every device, but normally it’s after the manufacturer logo that the partitions get mounted. The easiest way to enter your phone in this part is using a batch script that monitors the state of your device and connects directly when possible.
I use this script for example, called ondemand.bat (requires adb.exe and the 2 dlls)
1 @ECHO off
2 cd /d %~dp0
3 echo.
4 echo Waiting for device…
5 adb wait-for-device
6 echo.
7 adb -d shell stop
8 adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip
9 adb reboot recovery

I have Unlock Bootloader. So, here is my question, if I flash a new kernel, Do I actually lose something like the Rom installed? I dont mind losing apps, I dont really use a lot of them.
What kernel should I flash to prevent this if I still want to stay on CM11?
Thank youuuu
(I pressed thanks bottom and I will do it again!!)
