could you give some more info about what you did?
you say you unlocked bootloader,
did u install xrecovery? did u wipe user settings? did u return to factory default? wich rom did u install after unlocking?
you also should have at least read the next page:
[How-To] Safely test custom kernels / custom ROMs and get back to stock SE 2.3 ROM
after that you might want to try to fix your device by following the [Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones
after you have tried those steps let me know if it worked for you

thank you, problem sorted out by using flash.
Should we refuse the update whenever we get the notification for unrooted Arc S?
Planning to get an Arc S this month,I am just a little worried if update notifications might brick the phone.
i have the same issue except seus says installation failed

Please help !!!!
I have the same problem and have tried various solutions suggested on here, all to no avail. Can some kind person break it down in simple steps for me, I would be eternally grateful.
Had the same issue to get to .62.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed ICS beta
The key is by using the flashtool if you want to
Do NOT use OTA update nor SEUS if you unlocked your bootloader. Its common that you will brick your phone. And if you want to remove the message from your phone just freeze the update service apk using titanium backup or any other application that can freeze applications.

I'm guessing this response might be a bit late but I recently had this. Tried so many different things including flashing different ROMs with fastboot. Eventually used the "unbrick ota ROM" trick and it worked.have a quick search and u will find it on the forum somewhere.
Phone Unbricked again with sucess
Hi guys i want to share some information who was useful for me with Xperia Arc S 12w07 :
Important : Dont make normal updates with SEUS ou PCC if your phone was unlocked by other tool, because you will brick the phone, you need to start using other firmwares, but ask for opinions first..
After Alejandrissimo unbrick my phone, the phone ask me to do update to new version, so i click yes to make thet update, and after 5 seconds gave me one error in update, so my phone was dead again with yellow triangle with one phone, so i talk to alejandrissimo again and he gave one file to fix the phone again with Flashtool, so i will share with you ok, but i think i already saw this file in other post..
Steps :
1º - Install Flashtool - flashtool-0.9.10.1
1.1º - Google and find this file : " [Xperia Device] flashmode & fastboot driver bundle " and install all..
2º - Install all Drivers
3º - In flashtool be sure if the drivers already installed, sometimes the file install but in pc need to install more with the phone connected
4º - Select Flash Mode
5º - Put the fix file in folder firmware of flastool, and you can delete the other file x10 in the same folder you dont need.
6º - In " Program Files\Flashtool\devices\LT18 " you have this file loader.sin, when you try to flash if he give this error : " cant find loader_unlocked.sin ", then you need to rename the " loader.sin " file to " loader_unlocked.sin", and then flash again, and will work..
If was simple bick like my phone it will be fix it, maybe for other phones is the same, check the devices folder for the files and if you need to rename like i did...
Hope this help for some people ok..:good:
Now i need to update to new version of android, but i need to see what is the correct file to flash or i will brick my phone again..
Tks to Alejandrissimo again, he teach me to do that.. :fingers-crossed:

had lot of apk's installed and was multitasking and again the phone rebooted and got stuck @ sony logo.
Tried loading the kernel with cwm built in i.e. 4.1.b.587 with cwm from fast boot this phone is not rooted but the Xperia Ultimate HD is rooted .
Bootloader is unlocked on mt Arc S.
Reloaded the stock Rom , rooted using Doomlord method and was still unable to flash a new kernel .
Tried this
1-Turn off phone
2-Hold down menu key and turn on Connect the usb to computer and led is blue.
3- Got to fastboot folder and type command fastboot flash boot abc.img (abc is the kernel image name) I get device must be rooted.Where as the Xperia Ultimate HD is already prerooted .Please help as I dont have any recover installed now as installing Xparts works only on stock kernel and it installs it on system partition.Any other method to install cwm via flashtool on boot/recovery partition.
Please help.

You have to unlock your boot loader and install a CWM loaded kernel because every time you change your ROM on a locked boot loader, you wipe your /system (partition with your CWM on it) so you lose CWM.

I can see just SONY logo, nothing else. I tried turn on CWM mod, but nothing happens. My pc doesn't detect my phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes this means that bootloader unlocked?

your phone has been succesfully unlocked bootloader, and that's only normal problem don't worry, just try to re-flash stock rom with flashtool and check list full wipe data and cache on flashtool before doing flashmode, just try to reflash ok and after flash process boot up your phone and wait from 5 until 15 minutes and your phone will boot up successfully, you can download the stock rom from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetNHNXUGZXQkFIUTg/edit
and if you want to check your bootloader status just open the dialer and type this code *#*#7378#*#* and select service info and search bootloader status
if bootloader unlock allowed : yes your bootloader is still locked but
if bootloader unlock : yes your bootloader is unlocked
ok:laugh:
