Hey, I just tried rooting my Xperia Arc with this guide --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
And after flashing the first firmware, Its stuck on bootloop and i dont know what to do, It won't let me proceed onto flashing the device and im panicking heelllppppp
Don't panic
When you stuck in bootloop. You have to flash stock rom by flashtool, or "repair device" by PC Companion (Rather flashtool) - and than try root again
or leave it, if Your'e scared modding again
btw. use "search" - many threads are solved

Where can I download a stock rom? and also how do I repair on Pc companion? I've gotten so many phones into bootloop in the past and never known what to do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
---> Stock roms
for example

how to fix by PCC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692172
but like I told, flashing by flashtool is more friendly and easy I think (put the ROM in "FIrmwares" click "bolt" icon, select "flashmode", select firmware, waiting for notification, plug phone and waiting for fresh system
Thanks I actually fixed it omg;D Thankyouu :3
my pleasure :victory::good:
Hi guys, i have a question, i have a Arc S with stock ICS so i tried to root it (flash the 4.0.3 kernel so i can root it), i tried to flash the kernel via flashtool, it gave some type or error and my phone rebooted but after the sony logo it appeared an rectangle with an exclamation mark and turned off.
I've tried to flash via flashboot the previous kernel 587, and via flashtool but no sucess..
Pc companion doesnt recognize the phone cause the Arc turns on but turns off after getting to the triangle.
Is it bricked? :x
Thanks.
___________________________
I downloaded the recent Arc S rom (587) and flashed it via flashtool and it worked! No more triangles!
Sorry for opening the topic, hope it helps future users in the same situation.

bot @melvinhatred , @mahyjooon
seems like u have FLASHED wrong kernels, what are your Exact devices? E6xxx ?
tell me your devices , so that i can guide u better
when you downloaded latest FTF, why did u extract? there is not such need!
download full ftf file via FLASHTOOL ! / the last button on flashtool menu is Xperifirm , click it, select your DEVICE MODEL (accurately) from LEFTSIDE menu, then on the rightside, download LATEST rom as per your country (if country is not listed then Central USA / Europe , or MENA Arabic also) will do just fine.
after FLASHTOOL download and prepare your ftf file, connect your device in FLASH MODE and FLASH this rom (wipe data/kernel/system/setting/userdata ALL)
NOW --------------- since you have BRICKED/ bootloop fone try this
PRESS POWER+VOLUME up key for 5 seconds --- AS SOON AS FONE VIBRATE - RELEASE FINGERS INSTANTLY!!!!
if it restarts and goes in to boot loops then
PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOLUM UP KEY FOR 15 SECONDS --- THE FONE WILL VIBRATE 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHILE ITS VIBRATING SECOND TIME, RELEASE YOUR FINGERS AT ONCE!!!
THE device will sleep.
now try connection your device for flashing in flash mode for FLASHTOOL
this trick / methods is tested by me for xperia z (older device),
tell me what happens with your z5 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i have E6833, i was tring to root it via this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ck-root-xperia-z5-premium-sony-stock-t3335974
but after installing supersu it faced softbrick and didn't boot so I tried to flash stock .253 tft file which i had downloaded from other sources , with flash tools but it stuck on modem.sin and i have to brought it to the shop to have it recover by box .its not the first time i'm facing the problem with flash tools , it always stock on one step for about an hour, the time before the last, i was trying to update it by flash tools and it stucked again.the xperia companion isn't working either -_- it says that it cant connect to network to find the update ! i checked the firewall and internet explorer internet options tab , but nothing worked for me ! my flash tools version is 0.9.22.0 build on 16-5-2016 . the last time i tried 0.9.18 version cause i saw somewhere that maybe the problem is related to new version but it didn't worked again, at the end what i think is that there should be zip flashing method from custom or stock recovery for flashing stock Roms too ! flash tools sucks in my case -_-

i have E6833 too and its rooted and i shared my xperience fully here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...ting-xperia-z5-z5p-variants-drm-keys-t3437902
i will go in preface
1. what is your windows version? flashtool don't work goo on windows8 / 10. it usually hands at some point , i use win7 x64 and also flashtool x64 version
2. what were the sources u donwloaded the ftf file?
3. better to download ftf file via flashtool itself (last button is Xperifirm, click it, find SATSUKI dual E6833 and version of USA/ MENA ending .253) and flash it
4. while flashing disable antivirus, I used SAMSUNG galaxy usb data cable (if that makes difference) ,
5. with me it stuck at reading headers for 19mins but then it closed all headers and flashing was done.
plz read my post.
thanks
