I am using arc with rooted. 431 firmware. but I am unable to go into recovery manualy. phone stucked on Sony logo. I installed via recovery auto installer. same issue I was facing when I was on. 62 version. any soloution?

Try reflashing the entire firmware using flash tool and install recovery using SE Tweak Installer found in development section.. Plz search for it

I tried every thing. reinstall firmware, repair my phone, unlockbootloader n root again. install recovery by tweak installer but still same isuue. where is the problem??
even i installed recovery via flshtool. but unable to go into recovery

First enable usb debugging enable install of non market applications in arc settings! Thats very important! Then connect the mobil to pc and open the installer.. Make sure drivers are installed.. If not, install from drivers folder of flashtool.. Then select 'cwm for arc' option from installer and wait for it to complete! Then reboot

Try an other Usb Slot. When I connect the phone at the front Usb slot, my phone will not be detected.

I do the same. recovery installed properly, but still I am unable to boot into recovery. it stucks on Sony logo. but for.rooting I hotboot in custom kernel then I can easily go into recovery. I think it happens when I installed 4.03 for arc s in my arc. after that I was unable to boot into recovery even in gingerbread with stock kernel. :-(

Well it shud do the trick!
Try changing kernel and see!

as i know the recovery is flashable with the kernel, so you can also try to connect the phone in fastboot, than "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when it done, "fastboot reboot" than pushing the volume button. maybe you know this, but noone knows GL

you try to flash via fastboot the .431 kernel with CWM. u can get it on the development section.

Read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741), specially the last pages, and see if it can help you.
I had the same issue as you (stucked in the kernel logo) although I'm on a locked bootloader.
I solved the question by editing a little...
Hope it helps.

Flash the .431 fw again to your phone.

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck

the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!

Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....

same problem here

To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.

[Q] Stuck on SONY logo after "status 7" error

Hi,
i tried to install one of the custom ROMs for Xperia Arc s (JellyBean_V03). I have stock ICS 587, rooted. I installed CWM through X-Parts. Entered recovery, wipe/factory rest, wipe cashe, dalvik and than flashed jellybean_v03.zip from sdcard. It stopped at "initializing update" and than it showed ERROR "status 7". I tried one more time - the same. Restarted phone and now it's stucked at SONY logo. I can enter fastboot and flashmode - i tried different kernels - still no luck. I Flashed Baseband V77_Global.TFT - no luck. All of them are flashing with some kind of errors, after witch flashing is continued. I dont know what to do. I've read a lot of threads about it but i cant find a clear solution and i dont want to do more damage Now I'm downloading SEUS - i try that one, but i dont know if its possible to run it if my phone i detected only in fastboot or flashmode.
Any help would be appricieted

Hey,
i flashed through SEUS, than recovered everything, than rooted again. I didnt try to flash any other firmware until i find out more about locked or unlocked bootloaders, cuz i think this is my problem.
duythanh28:
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service, run it and it will guide you through the process. It will install the latest, stock firmware, wiping all the data.

thanks for your helping, i will try when i go home

I have the exact same problem. They say flash a new rom but how can I flash a new one if windows can't recognize my device? I can't enter flashmode nor fastboot. BTW, did you fix your's?

Have you tried another computer or USB port, formatted your PC even?

Download SEUS from SONYmobile website and follow the onscreen instructions. You should be fine. And - as XperienceD noted - try another USB port if SEUS wont be able t revive your phone.
kisses

I had encountered this problem once before.
After trying to flash a custom ROM,PC Companion and SEUS doesn't recognize device.
Flashing stock ROM did the trick.
You should try it.

And if you dont't have a recovery installed, you can also flashing a kernel with recovery and booting into it.

Pull your battery. Put it again. Do a key combination to go into recovery mode. Restore your backup or flash that rom again. Simple.

It is dangerous to open XS's back...
Just press power + vol up until 3 vibrations.
If you really can't go into recovery, use flashtool to flash stock ftf.

Xperia Arc Stuck in Loading

Hey guys! Today I rooted my device, installed CWM and installed a ROM onto my Arc device today. It all went fine but when I rebooted after the install the device seems to be stuck at the "Sony" logo. I cant seem to boot it into CWM (tried it couple of times). I'm new to this so does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance

Did you unlock the bootloader? Flashed the right kernel? Explain a bit what did you flash and how.

I'm kinda new to this and I just did what the guide told me to do , which is the following:
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!

Okay I suppose you flashed this rom and installed it with aroma installer. And you can't boot into recovery mode when logo appears (by pressing vol down button?)
Argh I had the same problem when using different rom with aroma installer and I couldn't boot in recovery mode. The main problem was not getting into cwm so I had to flash the stock rom (ftf file) back on arc using flashtool and I rooted the phone and unlocked BL again. Then I restored the previous backed up rom.
Is there any particular reason to have locked BL? You can do it with flashtool.
I don't know what the problem would be since I don't have enough experience with aroma installers, I just know the basics of flashing, installing and I can solve problems on my own arc when I f*** up something but I'm a bit confused here so you better wait for someone who has more brains than I do.

I just want to put my standard rom on there atm, can you link me to something that tells me how to do that?

Ok, so here's thread with stock, custom roms, kernels etc. here find the stock rom and choose version (lt15i or lt18i depends on which phone you have and where you're from) and download the ftf file.
Then go to this link where you'll get direct instructions on how to flash. It's really not that complicated. Just open flashtool, choose flashmode and browse for the ftf file, then flash it.
Good luck.

If you wish us to help you, at least tell which ROM you installed.

For a locked bootloader, flash the original TFT through Flashtool.
Root.
Install CWM.
Reflash ROM.
If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash a kernel with CWM included.
Mount your SD Card.
Put the ROM on it.
Flash.
Hope I helped you !
Cheers.
