Hi I am hoping someone can help me with this,
I have ARC LT15i, bootloader is locked and I was previously using generic 2.3.
Yesterday I tried to flash .42 generic using flashtool and got an error flashtool aborted. Arc would not boot and I tried using the flashtool unbrick method which flashed successfully but ARC would still not boot.
Used SEUS to repair and phone is now working fine except for the USB connection which seems to be having various issues.
Would not charge using mains plug and battery drained to 0%, took battery out for 5 mins as advised and charges fine through mains now (phew), however when I connect the Arc to PC using USB nothing happens. Will not recognise that is is plugged in at all, no charging, no led, no MTP/MSC connect.
PC companion see's no phone, however I can connect in flashmode when the phone is turned off, I have reinstalled pc companion, SEUS and the MTP drivers from Sony Dev page.
Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly does anyone know of a fix???
Thanks in advance

Why didn't you just flash through flashtool again. Even though it has aborted all you need to do is reconnect and flash again. If something don't work. Flash again. And keep doing it 5 times and if still broken you phone is buggered. And warrenty is needed. Unfortunately, as you used flashtool and the fota unbrick method and messed with the .TA (Trim Area) which each phone has a unique one. So warrenty voided. I hope this helps you a bit.

First charge your phone for a while, then download flashtool and sony xperia s official firmware.
As your phone is switched off, press and hold volume down button and connect it to the pc, green led will turn on,then flash your phone with flashtool.
I always use this method when i brick my xperia s.

Try installing PC Companion or/and Sony update service and maybe you could use one of them to recover and install stock rom again
Or if you can't install it using PCC or sus, try flashtool again, because the two sony programs will install drivers , too

I have exactly the same problem with 2 of my xperia S'es. I really want to fix this issue, because it's beginning to be expensive to buy one after the other. Always going into this without really knowing why.
Neither PC Companion, Sony Update Service, or Emma work to recover....
For now i'm following this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049813& :good:
Dear all,
My Xperia S cannot detect by PC, even I called to Sony service centre, they also cannot help me over the phone and ask me send to repair. The problem is this phone are old and not worth for repair.
This phone detect new software update (currently is 2.3.7) but need to use USB with PC companion. I suspect the phone USB port got problem, although still can use it to charge battery but windows OS cannot detect and install driver on it. Tried few PC also the same.
My question is, is there a way I can download the firmware and I using wifi transfer the firmware to phone and flash from the phone itself ? (I manage to download firmware - LT26_6.1.A.2.55_CE.ftf but it need USB connection to flash it)
Appreciate for whoever can help me here. TQ so much.
Best Regards,
Kenny
1) Try different Cable
2)No way to wireless transfer or anything
you need USB in order to update
sorry
edit:
did not notice you stating PC Companion
do what @Ben36 says and use flashtool and flash the FTF that you have downloaded

Hello,
I have a problem when using usb connector on my Z1C
Charging using usb doesn't work when phone is on, but work when phone is off
USB not detected in PC when phone is on (and not charging of course), but working well on fastboot and flashmode
The magnectic charger is working.
I've tried using latest 4.3, 4.4.2 , and the latest 4.4.4 firmware but the usb problem persist.
Any help would be appreciated.
Check your PC.
