I was trying to root my xperia arc.
i started flashtool, everything went alright. then error -aborted.
now phone can't start anymore, I can't do anything with it.
plz help me
You have to tell a little more to get the right help.
Bootloader locker or unlocked?
What firmware did you use when rooting the device?
What did you use to root, Gingerbreak?
i'm sorry
bootloader locked, never touched that
i never touched anything. I'm on 2.3.3, so I was trying to get back to rootable version.
its when i was trying to flash it to previous version that flashtool aborted. saying : power on go to settings and turn on ressources and debugging.
but i can't do anything with. It doesn't even start up.
thx
no prob, can imagine you're upset
did you try to flash it again?
How was your battery when starting in the first place?
Did you try to start up with power cable plugged in?
wow i just tried sony ericsson update service, and now the phone seems to start up.
the mistake i did i think is that i forgot to reinstall the sd card before starting to flash it.
as i'm writing this the phone is correctly working. so now was the sd card remove the mistake ?
1st option
I would say unlock the bootloader and reflash with the newest firmware, or you could just try this
2nd option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
I had the same problem (but my boot loader was unlocked) and it sorted it out, I thought it was just flashtool but it isnt theres special files in the firmware folder that unbrick the arc, let us know how you get on. try the 2nd option first
If its working now then it was a semi brick, option 2 fixes them no problem, try reflashing if you get the same problem just use the 2nd option afterwards and it will work fine
@grat_master
dunno bout the sd card, but glad SEUS did the trick for you.
@yusuo
can you unlock your bootloader when the device won't even start?
anyways, things worked out, no need to do more i think
ok so now the phone is working correctly.
but i tried it a second time to flash with flashtool, and it did the same thing. flash aborted, power on go to settings and turn on ressources and debugging.
what am i doing wrong ? i'm following namaste guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
but it just doesn't work.
yes you can, you put it in fast boot mode (turn phone off, then hold back button and plug usb in while still holding back button)
If is still doesnt turn on after use the brick fix (option 2)
Seemingly others have had problems too..
Common reasons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162492&page=2
And try running flashtool as administrator and make sure you have the lt15.sin in loaders directory..
Unlocking bootloader is good if you want to install a custom ROM.. But u void your warranty and loose DRM (If you care bout those that is..)
LT15.sin is already in loader directory
and I'm also running it as admin, I also disabled user control.
Which firmware are you trying to flash, the UK or HK version? Maybe it's a corrupt file?

i live in canada, and i'm using a rogers branded phone, samething as in the video of namaste guide.
i am trying to flash north america generic and world generic, neither worked.
Have you tried removing the battery after flashing, and then putting it back and then boot up?
Sent from my LT15i
it can't flash !
i am not able to flash anything, it stops before end and the phone remains in flash mode even if I deconnect usb cable. I can connect it back to pc without pressing back button and the green light is on again. that's after the flashing crash.
now the phone is ok, I can go internet, receive give calls, but I still have my sms problem that I have since beginning. I'm sending it back again to sony for repairs. HAHA I received it from repairs yesterday, and I got exactly same problem as before. I hope they change it. I think my phone is broken /end of story. Broken from beginning.
Anyway, I'm heading back to my Rogers detailer now to see what they can do again.
Thx for help. I'll try to root again when I get it back.
Okay, good luck, hope you get a replacement!
my service provider Rogers Canada is sending me a new Xperia Arc, should receive it in 3-4 days. As soon as I receive it, I'm gonna try root.
I'll let you know if it's working or not.
ok so i received my new xperia arc. now my sms problems are solved ! hourra
but i still can't flash it to root. It just don't want to do it.
what am I doing wrong ? I'll try a new ftf file. Can it be related to a bad sd card ?
Hello,
I really ran out of things to try. Maybe someone has an idea about what to do.
I unlocked my new Xperia S's bootloader through the process on the sony site, which seems to have worked fine.
Then I flashed the DooMKernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557452).
From that point onwards the device did not boot anymore (putting in a loaded battery and pressing the power button gives a short vibrate and very short green light, then it becomes completly unresponsive). It is still possible to put it in flash and fastboot mode by connecting it to the pc (where it is correctly recognized).
Sony software (SEUS and Companion) say the device contains non original software and can not be updated or repaired.
Flashtool (0.9.10) always halts flashing of firmware (tried about 10 different ones including stock versions) with this error while processing the loader.sin:
(X10flash.java:374) - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";
Click to expand...

Flashboot on the other hand seems to not let me flash a whole stock rom because the file is too large. And just flashing the kernel.sin to the boot partition doesn't change anything in the device's behaviour.
Any help, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for replying. Hm, it flashed okay with fastboot like DoomLord's guide says. However the phone still won't boot (or show anything on screen). Just the short vibrate with the greenlight then nothing until I take out and put back in the battery.
How can you take the battery out of a Xperia S?? It's embedded in the Phone
Read the first post of the recovery thread found in my signature. A lot of users have done that and recovered. Just stay calm and read the OP.

NOTHING HAPPENED.... I started search into the net, the forum... some attempts and nothing... so I use the Sony PC Companion to repair my phone... nothing new... then I use flashtool and the newest firmware "C6503 10.5.1.A.0.292" for it.. the phone started to work again...
I was using it for 2 days and suddenly (again) the same symptoms happened... no signal at all... then ... no phone at all... it starts... the a black screen with the "back" button and the "no signal", battery and time... when I try to pull down the bar it's RUSSIAN! (and I got the brazilian firmware)... then the phone restart... SONY..XPERIA... same things... nothing new...
I've tried to repair with PC Companion... flashed and REFLASHED with the firmware... and NOTHING... I thought it could be the SIM... but it's working on other phones....

Frnd, install Catlog-Lofcat Reader application from playstore and let it monitor your phone in the background for sometime. See if there is any 'error' in processes related to your problem. Error is indicated by red colour square box with 'E' inside it

My suggestion,
Steps
1) If your bootloader is unlocked, relock your bootloader
2) Now goto flashmode, use flashtool to install your firmware which previously worked fine for you.
From your previous post, i could understand that after a fresh firmware update it was working fine for 2 days before the same problem started to appear.
3) Once the OS loads and home screen appears, goto playstore and download catlog and let it monitor until the problem occurs again.
We will see from your log.....
I suspect this could be a software issue. Try using any older firmware....

Hello.. yep.. it had worked for 2 days then stopped again...

In flashmode I've done that and it's not working... same result everytime I do that...

What are the ftf files that you tried flashing using flashtools.give me the full version nos
You mean to say, after flashing your ftf file via flashtool this time it is going to bootloop
and it's not working for 2 days like it did before.
As previously said try download and flashing any old firmware(preferably jellybean) ftf files which has got good reviews that it worked.See if goes into bootloop without booting into homescreen
Don't worry if you have not done anything to unlock bootloader it will still be locked. Don't mess up with bootloader if you are not sure about what you are doing.
If it is unlocked it will ask to relock when you use BLU button in flashtool

What's the "full version nos" I mean, where can I see that?
I'll try to grab an old version to see if it works... didn't try that.. only with newer versions...
I said that the when the problem appeared for the 1st time I flashed the phone and it worked for 2 days... then started looping again... but now I can't make it work anymore.. doing flash doens't change the loopings... I'll try an old version..
"bout the bootloader, I didn't change anything... I mean, not that I know... LOL... HOW we do that? (so I can confirm I didn't do anything)... This "BLU button" I think I tried that once... how to know if it's locked or unlocked now? LOL
THANKS for your help!!

K once you install a older ftf firmware file, reply me back with the results.(Preferably any jellybean version Example-10.4.1.b.0.101(Be sure to download your country variant)). If you are able to goto flashmode, i am sure that you can revive your phone. What i meant by full version no is nothing but 10.5.A.0.230 or 10.5.1.A.0.283 etc. I guess your ftf file is not proper thats why you are going into a bootloop. Like i said download any old firmware file and flash it.
If you had already unlocked your bootloader using BLU button in flashtool, now when you click BLU button it will give you and option to 'relock' instead of 'unlock'. If it shows 'relock' it means your bootloader is unlocked.
See my replies in the below thread to understand more about what could cause bootloop problems....

Hello there! I' ve tried the BLU option... it's LOCKED... since it shows me the options to "UNLOCK" the phone... so I really didn't messed it up...
So, I try to get an older firmware... I got one "generic" and one from my crarrier brand... "Claro"

Operation Successfully finished... but when trying to start phone.. an error message appeared that an proccess has stop responding.. if I tell it to wait.. black screen and nothing happens... then REBOOT... whithout selecting and option.. same thing.. reboot...
So I decided to flash with my carrier version.. "Claro"...
Selected Bundle for Xperia ZQ (C6503). FW release : 4.3 - 10.4.B.0.569 R2C - 1270-0684. Customization : Claro Brazil

Now.. it starts.. I can see the main windows with the screen locked, I slide to unlock it... same thing.. black screen, I can see the battery and "no signal" icons.. and BANG! Reboot...
Don't know what to do my friend... I'm really scared now... is there any other option?
Help me please?

Sorry to hear that frnd. Seems something is really messed up in your phone.
I guess since you tried flashing different firmwares it might be a hardware problem causing this issue. But to be sure about which part (SIM related issue, could even be issue related to TA partition ) caused the reboot issue, i need to see the logs which will be easy for you to collect if your device boots properly,which is not possible for your case .
There is another way to collect it but you should have already enabled 'USB Debugging mode' in your mobile the last time it worked. Anyway try and select if it works. Check below link to see how to access logs. Even if we get logs if it is hardware related issue you still need to get it to sony service center.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
It is upto you. I could still further down on this issue but it is upto you. I suggest you, take your mobile to service center if they cannot do anything/if they say you should use it as a costly paperweight, get it here we will go on with advanced tracking methods/we will even try unlocking your bootloader and try flashing custom rom to see if it works. . But beware, i am NOT responsible for any further damage if it happens to your mobile...
If you further want to take the risk Private message me i will give you my skype id.
Hey people, got this cute little phone from my wife, was delighted initially because it seemed like custom rom haven and it really is cute little piece of functional white plastic (I meant, it was), but didn't last a day in my "new to Xperia" overconfident hands.
Anyway, I couldn't find any page that was foolproof and really explaining all the details step by step, so it kindaaa seeeems that I forgot the "unlock bootloader" part. I did several unsuccessful attempts at flashing official last version TWRP via terminal emulator and recommended app (can't remember name) - both seemed to do the work but couldn't boot into recovery, just regular reset. Then I tried Rushr app and flashed that TWRP image I had on SD card. I ran Reboot to recovery option - the thing just turned off. Now, what happens is that it vibrates for a second if I hold power button, but no go from there. If I connect it to PC blue light is on and PC says something like SP1FastBoot device connected or something like that.
So the big question is, is this soft or hard brick? What should poor bastard do in any case?
EDIT: Now I realized I get blue indicator light ONLY if I hold volume up before connecting to pc. If not, nothing lights. If I hold volume DOWN, I initially got "SEMC flash device connected", something like that.
your phone is completely alright, just install flashtool,its drives unlock the bootloader(there will be an option) and install recovery, after that flash a rom or stock backup
Thanks a lot, that's great news So in order to minimize risk of such noob mistakes I made (although still not sure what went wrong), I can use Flashtool for all my custom rom needs? Also, where can I download it, the links I found on XDA are dead, and googling brings out Sony's flashtool Emma. I really have no idea if it's the same thing or not, but from description it sounds like a tool for flashing stock roms, not customs. I need to be sure this time
EDIT: On XDA page dealing with TWRP installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/orig-development/recovery-twrp-xpe it is specifically mentioned NOT to use Flashtool for flashing TWRP. Now it all gets confusing What does it mean, better chose CWM recovery or what?

Would you by any chance have some specific recommendations regarding recovery and rom combination? I prefer CM, but for instance, they say new CM 13 is for specific version of firmware (4.x, not sure which), and since my device is bricked, I have no way of checking what I have. Is there some combination of recovery/rom that's basically fool/brick proof? I found Flashtool, but I have to put roms in its folder, it doesn't come with or doesn't download firmwares from server or anything right?
I'm running in circles here, I'm stuck with Flashtool, and flashing Fota TWRP via Flashtool isn't recommended so... you see my problem
EDIT: I tried to unlock bootloader via Flashtool, I got middle finger: 08/042/2016 21:42:25 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
What does it mean? Am I doomed with stock firmware (even if I knew how to recover it) with "no custom roms" diet forever, or is there some "unofficial" solution?

I have tried it with my device and i unlocked my bootloader successfully , just bootloop once , donno why is this happening with you maybe flashtool cannot recognise properly so try reinstalling the drivers from the flashtool folder!

There's nothing in .flashtool folder or subfolders, just a basic empty tree Seems Flashtool is a no go in my case, I think I'll try Sony's PC Companion, I think it's intended to recover stuck rom. And it requires 5 gigs of space on hard disk, so I guess it comes with everything already in the package
Fixed! Sony's Xperia tool is nothing short of miracle. Did the whole job, completely recovered device. Good job, Sony!
Hi Guys.
I replaced a screen of a D5503. Knew the pattern to unlock the phone (friends) but messed up and thought it does not matter if it resets to factory settings after 7 attempts.. But Bootloop. Country choice appears shortly and screen goes to grey. Repair with companion gives no change. Sometimes it is possible to select country and go one screen further and then it goes grey again. Is this bootloop ?
searched web and forum for similar problems and decided finally it must be bootloop?
Of course i did not make a back up.. phone is coupled to google account of friend , so if I can get the screen to normalize and not disappear that would also be an option.
i downloaded Flashtool Emma. Most links are dead. For neccesary files, unlocking etc.
I have a sony unlock code.
(locked bootloader)
The firmware is (1279-1792) 14.6A.1.236-R2D
Can anybody direct me to the right link to follow ?
Or commands are not downloadable anymore, or I don't know what tft file to use etc.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction ? Please?
Help is appreciated. I flashed and rooted a Z1 mini once before. years back.
If you can flash stock firmware with sony compagnon with sucess 100%, it means that it's not a firmware problem.
Are you sure new screen is good? Did you replace touchscreen and LCD or only one of them?
did you test with old screen to check if system boot is ok?
I replaced both in one. Screen with digitizer asssembly. And initially the phone booted fine to lockscreen with pattern. So screen is working fine.
I messed up trying 7 times the pattern upon which the phone by itsself booted to factory settings. Since then the phone is stuck. I tried repair with companion but that made no difference.
But the adb commands to unlock bootloader don't seem to be downloadable anymore. Not even from the link provided from the sony site. from which I optained the unlock key.

If the phone boots up, for a second the language choice screen pops up and screen goes to grey. I cannot acces anything on the phone itsself.

well, it should be volume up and power button. But that only gets me to fastboot. No lights blincking at the supposed ledlight at all.
So the screen freezes at language choice page. that only appears shortly. sometimes just long enough to make a choice and then the screen goes grey. The only option to communicate seems to be fastboot. Since the pc recognices the phone as being in fastboot.
So how to proceed ?

Tnx. back when this was still somewhat a current model I knew what version it contained and with patience I rooted and flashed a X1c. Got a Flashtool download now branded Emma. . Looks weird in my eyes. But the .net page gives a virus error in the torrentfiles still being used in those days. Hence my loss. ? Emma version did give detailed info about the phone and the firmware and that bootloader is locked. Then can get unlock key from sony site, but adb files I can't get. And when I finallly can get them I am asked for admistrator password,. My stupid attempt to make an offline non google account pc, the other way around. And while only a few days ago I forgot that password hahaha. Dont't ask. strangers in tha house Gonna see if I have the old files still on the old brick (pc) and see if I can manage from there. -) tnx for answering and patience. I have a few bricks. maybe first create a dualboot. and be sure.
I'll report back if I get that old fart to life again thanks to your input.
Thanks again and enjoy and have fun
