Which TWRP img file did you flash? Jelly Bean or Lollipop one? Which os version are you on?
Well if your firmware's messed up, fastboot probably won't detect it. Think you need to get stock firmware and flash it via flashmode in Flash Tool but if its not getting recognized at all then that's a dead end.
Did you try reinstalling all the drivers via Flash tool to see if the phone gets detected?

Hi, i recently upgraded my xperia arc lt15i to the new ics software, all went well and everything working fine so i decided to root the phone which i managed to do with no problems. Being the tinkerer that i am i decided to move some files from my phone memory to sd card. Bad idea! My phone locked up and is now stuck in boot loop. I tried to flash the ics firmware but cannot do it because i need to turn on usb debugging which obviously i can't do. Is there anyway i can resolve this? The annoying thing is that i can see the files i moved on my sd card when plugged into my laptop if only i could transfer them back to phone memory all would be good. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Phil
Use aroma file manager from the android dev forums. It'll let you move files in recovery.

Aroma File manager can be found in the Android themes and apps section (not in Arc themes and apps) i think so..
To boot into recovery press the volume down button while Sony Ericsson logo (name) is shown

Ok, so i've found the aroma file and copied it to sd card. Now I can't seem to get my phone into recovery mode. Also how will i know my phone is in recovery???
You'll need a kernel that has cwm to get into recovery...
So flash a new kernel on and then press volume down on boot screen to get into recovery. Though this means you'll have to unlock your boot loader
I tried flashing new software to my phone but it wouldn't have it because usb debugging can't be turned on, will i have the same problem trying to flash a kernal?
Cheers
How do i flash a kernal with cwm to my phone, do i need to have fastboot on my computer? I fear i am getting out of my depth! i need an idiots guide!!
Flashing a kernel doesn't deal with usb debugging and all.. First of all, tell me whether your bootloader is unlocked or not! Then I'll explain in steps!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Neither u need usb debugging to flash a new firmware or to upgrade the current rom..
for flashing purposes only fastboot or flashmode are required..
download the ics firmware ftf file and flash it via flashtool..
At Gire.prasad, I haven't unlocked the boot loader so i asume it is locked.
At now.i.feel. I tried flashing ics firmware again via flash tool but it wouldn't do it, it came up with an error saying it can't connect to my phone.
Thanks
Yes Yes Yes, my phone is back in action. I just flash ics firmware using flashtool again and it worked fine. i tried this the other day and it didn't work so something i downloaded from all of the posts must of helped.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou
It has been a learning curve and i have learnt my lesson. Not to dive in too deep too fast!!!
Thanks to you all again for your in put.

guys i whanted to install a rom but i forget to unluck my boot loader and flash the bootloader and i only installed the rom from cwm
now when i powr on my phone i only see this:sonyericson
what shoul i do now?
Use flashtool to flash stock ftf of your model.
Sent from my R800x
i di that but it said that you sould install drivers and i installed them but it always gives that error
when you start flashtool dont have your phone connected. just click the lightning symbol then click flash mode. select the ftf file you need to flash. then when it asks for you to connect it in flash mode turn off phone then hold the back button and connect to usb. it should go thru.
thanks
thanx for youre help i have my phone back:laugh:
now booting my phone
Not a problem man.

Hello Guys, i have a huge problem.
I flashed kernel for Mango not for anzu. I mistakened the boot.img file and now my phone is stuck on boot screen.
Tried everything in forums and nothing works for me!
MY phone is rooted (or was, don't know what's now with the phone)
Was bootloader unlocked.
Everything was just fine, but wanted to get another Rom installed and did [Rom][WIP][JB4.2.2][Arc/S/Pro] Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130326, but installed the wrong boot.img
PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Can't get in CWM mode (
* My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode (Entering by powering up and after pink led flash volume up)
In overall :
I got stuck black screen while booting, i guess 2nd boot screen
I get no logos, just black screen.
When adding USB and connecting to PC it shows just Green Led (it's fully charged)
Entering the Fastboot mode or CWM recovery mode (By powering up and after pink led flashes pushing volume up - it gives just a black screen and blue led (fastboot mode, i guess)
What could be the problem?
I've searched for answer about 2 days now, but no progress.
I'm desperate guys, HELP!
Enter fastboot while holding menu button and plugging usb in. You will get blue led

I used Stock Rom (4.0.4 - Branding 4.1.B.0.587)
Ideas: Maybe i should reroot again? The only thing I can do, what I know is I can flash .ftf files.
WHAT COULD I DO?

I don't know how to flash in flashmode.
I know that with Flashtools in flashmode I can flash Frameworks i guess (.ftf files).
If there is another way to flash with flashmode, then please enlighten me
I saw that there is Roms in zip and in .ftf files.
I want to have a ROM with .zip, but i'll try with .ftf firstly!
THE ROM I TRIED : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147958
Tried my way, but no changes.
I NEED HELP!
Found a version of what could I do, but is there a posibility that I could make .ftf file from ZIP?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867

Click the first link in my sig, read, watch, learn, repair, done.
stock rom is FTF file. Flash them with flashtool. When you return your phone to complete stock and start over you flash a ftf file. And no you cannot turn a zip into a ftf

I've looked in your post, but didn't seem to understand what I need to get over my problem, please just direct me to right paragraph.
There is too many paragraphs!
How can I Change my Kernel, if I can't get in fastboot mode and in Recovery mode.
Only way I see is by flashmode option in Flashtools software.
BIG THANKS, i clicked THANK YOU!

remove batery after 10 seconds place it. now open flashtool and select correct firmware then flash. it shows preparing device. after 1 min it says to "connect phone in flash mode"
now only you have to connect your phone to pc it's important for bootloop devices.
press and hold volume down + connect usb
phone led turns into green

well make sure you install drivers for fast boot else it wont work
drivers are in flash tool folder C:\Flashtool\drivers in my case its here if you have used default settings look and install and select fastboot from list when installing
Download any ROM (Best is Cyongen or LiquidSmoooth)
Download a rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode and install .zip file.THAT'S IT :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.Hit thanks button if I helped you
Bro if you have C2004 means I am ready to give my nandroid backup you can easily restore with Cwm no worries about flash mode other model means pls specify model no I will try...

I tried to install a custom rom on my xperia s lt26i and i had ofcourse to do some steps before i proceed.
Firstly I rooted the phone with kingoroot.(succeded)
Then, I installed clockworkmod recovery(succeded too, I tested it and it worked like a charm).
Finally, I had to re-partition(using adb tools, succeded too), but a minute after it finished i accidentally plugged out the usb.
So as you can imaging the phone is stuck in bootloop, I cant access recovery too..
Hopefully, the phone is recognized in fastboot mode.
I tried to flash the rom/recovery via fastboot but it says the device must be rooted first...
WELLI THINK IS TOTALLY MESSED UP..:laugh:
hope someone will help me out!!
