So I tried to flash a ICS Rom, and now im stuck at the logo at start up. I have downloaded and have flashtool, I tried to flash it with "Xperia Play Release Generic UK.ftf" and with "R800i 4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic.rar" (even dough mine is R800x), USB debugging is off.
Every time i try to flash it I get the error:
09/037/2012 21:37:51 - ERROR -
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";
Help please!
Obviously it won't work cause it's meant for GSM, not cdma which is what the r800x is

Hey there! I have just bought an xperia arc s lt18i. I am not a noob or new in android so u can answer my doubts normally, I will understand u lol!
I had a galaxy s sl and I think everything was quite different and easier. galaxy s (i9000) ROMS, firmwares, kernels, mods, etc weren't compatible with mine (i9003) and flashing them automatically bricks the phone. I have been reading a lot here and I still don't understand something...
--Are xperia arc and xperia arc s firmwares, roms, kernels and mods compatible with each other? Because I was going to root my lt18i (currently on official ics), I was downloading everything to follow the steps and I noticed I had downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware: LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42. Can I flash this with flashtools? Isn't this an arc firmware or can I flash it in my arc s? Everything is being a bit difficult to me since it is absolutely different to samsung devices and since here there are a looot of tutorials saying similar but not same things...
Hope u understand me and can help me with this.
Thank u
Hi
Flashing arc <--> arc S work normally, if you wipe, if you don't, I would say 50:50=work:not work.
Always remember: Settings will always show that, you flashed. E.g you flashed arc FW on arc S, Settings will show arc.
And it's always better to flash the right Firmware.
If you still have questions, ask them. And press Thanks0

Well, the idea is, that Xperia Arc S is the same to Arc except for the stronger hardware. They share the same software, Arc S just run it smoother, and the games on Arc S feels better, etc.
If a ROM can be run on the Arc then it can run on Arc S. Except for a few cases that the developer HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED the ROM for one of the two device, then the other device will receive bugs (but no brick).
To be honest, I don't feel the difference in Arc and Arc S (I own a few smartphone shops in VietNam). The difference can only be spotted within games, the Arc S does last longer in battery life though
Thanks for ur replies!

The phone is stuck in bootlogo (sony) but it doesn't boot. It turns down, tries to restart but stucks... I am downloading LT18i_4.1.A.0.562_Iberia.ftf now and will try to reflash in flashtools to try to make it boot.
What do u think guys?
BIG thanks

It does reboot. It reboots back into flashmode. Disconnect cable and turn on the phone. It is meant to be so.
Use Flashtool 0.9. I will send a mirror by pm.

Driver has nothing to do with phone not going to fastboot.
If notification LED, the LED next to microUSB, doesn't turn led, then 2 choices:
1) You are doing it wrong - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable to phone.
2) Your phone is SIM-locked and/or branded - Fastboot is disabled. Only way is via paid method.
So i have to unlock bootloader? But if there are roms also for locked bl is because locked bl can also access to fastboot mode. Am i right?
So what must i do? How? Where can i unlock it the cheapest way? Thank u very much for ur answers!

I simply turned off my phone! It was running Xperia Ultimate HD
I don't think its hard bricked.Devices don't ever get bricked simply after turning off.
I think it is only not booting up.
Use flashtool and flash stock firmware.
Flash again if it does not boot up.
You will be alright.

but when I start the phone, shows the sony logo and turn off the phone few minutes later.
i lock the bootloader ( because it's unlock ) and try again in pc companion. The program says that the rom was installed successfully but still with the same problem.
Did you select wipe data in flashtool while flashing? If no then do it again with wipe data selected

what works to revive my phone is letting the battery fully discharge until phone no longer boots ... then if i press power i get three red blinks to connect the phone to charger ... after a few minutes of charging the phone boots normally whatever rom ( stock or custom ) i have installed.
i am still checking into the issue ... it seems like a hw failure to me and will try to send it to warranty
you may try that in case all the things you have tried so far are failing
