Dear Developers, I have CM11 4.4.4 running in my xperia m dual. It was running perfect till yesterday. I was surfing the net in my phone that's when it got hung and didn't respond to power button. Then i removed the battery and inserted it and tried to start the phone. That's when it got stuck in Sony logo. I tried to flash the phone but when i connect the phone in flash mode i get a red led immediately followed by green led (sometimes no lights at all),but then it doesn't say it is connected in flash mode in my flashtool. I have tried all the ways i know, but no luck. Its still stuck in Sony logo. I tried different data cables, but no luck. Help will be much appreciated. Thanks all in advance.
Just try with pc companion ? have you try with that software? as long as i know that still software problem right? try with pc companion first, and do the repair os with that software ok?
I think your device is Hard-bricked. Since it won't enter flash mode , PC Companion will not recognize the phone.So, it's better to take the device to the Sony Service Center.All The Best.:good:
just go to recovery then flash new zip.

I've been searching tutorials from start to finish and can't find solution to my problem.
I have a Arc S from a friend that's bricked it gets stuck on sony ericcson logo.
Tried PC Companion not detected
Tried Update Service not detected
Tried Flashtool it detects phone as connected but without developer mode
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
I hold back key, no green led
I hold menu key, no blue led
Doesn't enter fastboot mode or flashmode.
Anyone knows how can i recover it? I don't know if it's unlocked bootloader or custom firmware or anything.
I think it maybe a kernel problem but didn't find tutorial to flash it without flashtool.
Regards,
Tried that already, when i hold the buttons (either back or menu) no led lights up when i connect usb it just shows the sony ericsson logo...
Regards.
Usb debug needs to be on

From what i've been told it died overnight during an OTA update.
The only too ways the computer detects it is by getting stuck on sony logo and flashtool detecting it as usb debug disabled or by doing the testpoint and computer detecting it as a Zeus Flash Device.
All the other ways, holding buttons etc's always gets me to the stuck logo no leds no nothing.

Yes it's on a full battery.

Is there any tool that can flash a device in Zeus Flash mode?
If you can't get the Phone in flashmode as you've already stated then you need a service centre. The only other alternative is to contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 who have SETool and will try and help remotely.

hello i have a same phone as u and same problem .. can u tell me do u find solution ??? thanks
So were you just doing a standard OTA update and then you ran out of battery?
If you want, you could try Sony's new EMMA software for returning devices with unlocked bootloaders back to stock.
Did you unbricked you phone? I have the same problem after a wipe data from clocworkmod and i am unable to go in flashmode or recovery. Fashtool detect my device but just like your with debug off...
So did you manage to fix your device? Thx and srru for my bad english. Oh and my phone is locked.

I rooted my sony ericsson arc s and then installed a costumed rom from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993)... after installing the rom my phone restarted and i only get stuck on the sony logo
I searched the internet to find solutions. Everyone said to connect the phone to the pc and use flashtool to change the kernel.. however, my problem is that the phone is not recognized by flashtool, nor by the pc companion... i tried pressing the back button, i guess i have tried every single way to get the phone to turn on.. but the pc never recognized it.. the only thing i get when switching the phone on is the word sony in white with a black background and the phone gets stuck..
Please tell me what i should do to fix it.. i also tried something called stool but it never recognized the phone.. btw,, the led lights don't even turn on

Bootloader is locked or unlock? Locked bootloader CAN NOT change kernel. Search unbrick arc s. You need to restore stock rom via flashtool.
i have got same problem

Use flash tools for recovery
If your bootloader is locked, just restore using SEUS.

Hi Guys, I have an Xperia Arc (SO-01C) which was Bricked after a failed update... i know this has probably been asked a couple thousand times here before, but here me out, pls:
1. I found a few (3 or 4) threads in XDA that were about similar/same issue with Xperia Arcs
2. I followed the steps (Some using flashtool and some using the Sony Update Service)
3. Both methods successfully flash the device (or at-least the software says it has)
4. Here's the problem:
After Flashing a sony firmware (Stock) it still will not boot
When pressing the power button the Green LED flashes (at a rate of 1 per second appoximately)
When i plug in the USB cable, it does not charge either (Instead it lights up the GREEN LED, which i think is flashmode)
So any help would be great if you guys have seen this behavior before...
[UPDATE]
Also, i think the Firware on the phone may have been modified cause it is DOCOMO branded, but there is no sim lock, so i think it may have been unlocked by previous owner...
Cheers
Re: [Q] Xperia Arc (SO-01C): Bricked after failed update
Had the same issue after a unsuccessfull kerler flash with flashtool.
I relocked, repaired with pccompanion, but it still didnt boot. Just a green led for a moment flashed.
After a half hour it started automaticly by itself. Guess i was lucky.
How much battery did you have before starting flashing?

Re: [Q] Xperia Arc (SO-01C): Bricked after failed update
No warranty cause it's a docomo branded phone and has been sim unlocked...
Well as promised! Here is my update:
I got Ginger Bread running back on it. They at the shop had SETools and unlocked the bootloader and from there it was smooth sailing.

just follow this instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095656
but you should download docomo firmware 4.0.1.C.1.31 @ http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?...1&engine_h=1&engine_e=1&engine_m=1&engine_4=1
flash it with flashtool 0.6.9.1, dont use latest flashtool because it cannot read the ftf file.
This guide resolves my bricked NTT docomo xperia SO-02c, also updated to andorid 4.0.3..
hope this resolves your bricked xperia.
Download the latest version of the flash tool.
The green light blinks coz there maybe no charge in your phone.
After flashing dont turn on the phone connect it to the charger.
If the sony logo appears then there is nothing wrong with your phone.
If it doesn't appear visit the sony mobile service center.
Hope it helped.

Ok so I've been trying to get flashtool to work with my xperia z1c but I can't get the phone to stay in flashmode. The green led lights briefly and flashtool detects a device in flashmode but after a short time it just drops out of flashmode and boots normally. I originally blamed windows 8.1 but have tried 2 windows 7 machines with the same results. Have tried the Sony z1c drivers package and the latest flashtool drivers - same result. I've searched on Google and found people with the same problem on different xperia devices but has anyone else had the same problem with their z1c? if so has anyone solved it?

So what is the problem? If the phone does not stay long enough in flashmode, try this:
Open flashtool
Click flash, and set up everything (firmware, wipe, etc.)
Now click on flash
After 30 seconds plug in your phone in flashmode.

Happened to me too. I just flashed it before it rebooted, once it starts flashing it wont reboot it'll finish the process. So no worries everything worked out fine.
Thanks for the responses. I'd previously tried to flash an ftf by putting the phone into flashmode first then pressing flash and it always rebooted before the files were prepared so assumed there was something wrong. If you prepare the files first then put the phone into flashmode then all is okay. Thanks again.

how do you boot into flashmode?
the right way is: turn off your device, open flashtools, choose flashmode, choose your ftf you want to flash and wait until finished,
push Vol- and hold it, then plug your device via usb to the computer, then flashtool does its job...

Well this is is What happened. I was trying to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" on my "Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY" I tried it twice and I couldn't so I flashed it again to R800a North America. As I couldn't do it I upgraded the "Flashtool! from 0.6.9.1 to 0.9.18.5 and tried to install "Lupus-v12-iCs-720" but I couldn't so I tried to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" and nothing so I plug it to flash it again and the Rom R800a wasn't there I didn't notice it and clicked flash so it did it fast and now I have a dead pone, it doesn't enter Flashmode doesn't turn on nothing but when I conect it to the PC the sound plays but that's it. It also doesn't turn on and the LED doesn't blink. HELP....!!! PLEASE.........!!! is there any way to fix it.....???
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
If u flashed x10 relock file, u probably damaged bootloader partition and i dont think u can reapir it in home, without flasmode, coz only thing i can think of (not counting using box) is to flash relock file for 2011 xperias

I messed up my xperia ion in a similiar way. Take out the battery for a few minutes. With the battery out hook it up to the pc. If you can see a dim charging light of any colour your should be able to fix it. Unplug the phone and put the battery in. Without trying to power it on click the back button and connect it to the pc. This may work.
