Hello everyone, I'll add some background so you can help me better.
I had a Xperia play like a year ago. It was the first device i rooted so it took several days for me to root and to install gin2kitkat ROM on it. I couldn't install a new kernel becouse before i managed to do so i dropped the phone to the floor and it got severe damaged and i lost interest.
Recently i've decided im gonna put some effort into it and ill repair the screen protector and the buttoms that broke.
So, i had a rooted device with gin2kitkat ROM with original kernel and closed bootloader. I did the bootloader thing with a tutorial i found here and i flashed the Extreme kernel using flashtools via fastboot. So i started my phone but it was in a bootloop when Extreme picture showed up and i wasnt able to make it work. I tried more kernels like Lupus and other kernels i found on this site. It happens the same with every kernel. It wont boot any further than the kernels logo. Ive tried flashing another kernel via flashmode in flashtools and i got this error:

Is there a way to completely restore my arc s to the state when i bought it? Because i have bricked my phone.
I had .587 with 4.0.4. Rooted it fine, got superuser. Installed CWM and busybox. Downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697167 and installed few tweaks. Then I tried installing supercharger. I had to upload my service.jar on this website and then download it back and move it to system/frameworks. I did that, and after rebooting all hell broke loose. In the lockscreen I get "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" and few other errors too. So I booted CWM recovery and tried to restore, no restore found. Then i formated everything. That didn't help. So I browsed xda forums and found this darkside super wipe. Installed that in CWM recovery mode. Now my phone wont even start. Phone freezes on SONY screen. I tried flashing something and it works, but still booting freezes on sony screen. So do I need to flash something or do I just throw my phone away?

You are installing kernel only.
You need full FTF file, not just the kernel.
Search better. Or check my signature for example.

and please explain it to me like a two year old.
Hold On!!! :laugh: Are you using flash tool to flash boot.img(I think it's not possibile)?? You have to use FastBoot! I remeber you the procedure... Take the kernel put it in c:/program files/android /android /plaform-tools Then open PROMPT and go to the path i wrote first...Then use comand FASTBOOT.EXE FLASH BOOT BOOT_NAME.IMG
but i cant get into fastboot mode and im not rooted

you don't need root to go in fastboot mode ...maybe just unloaked bootloader ! Try this procedure if you have unlocked bootloader
Hi All,
I am new here & for these technical things also, but 1st of all I would like to appriciate all who made these difficult things look so easy.
Now my problem :
I have Xperia Arc, I flashed & rooted the device post that I was trying to install CM10. I also installed ClockWork Mod Ver 5.XXX.
I took backup & then I tried to install from SD card (CM10 Zip) but it gave me "Status7" error so I restored my backed up data & clicked on restart device...... from then now whenever I start the device it hangs on Sony logo, even I can not switcg it off, I have to take out battery to switch it off.
If memory serves me best I had Android 4.0.XX installed earlier.... Please suggest what to do to get my device up & running....
I again want to appriciate the people who pull out time to help others in such simpler ways ....
Boot into cwm wipe data,cache, (advanced )dalvic cache go to mounts storage format data, cache, system,next flash cm10 again.If that not work fastboot another JB kernel with cwm built in repeat above instructions.If all fails flash back to stock with a fft rom,hope that helps:fingers-crossed:

Because you have flashtool working you can either flash back to a stock rom with a ftf file found in arc forum.Or connect phone to flashtool let phone recognize phone might take two three minutes wait till flashtool says root access allowed.Then go to tools /reboot /recovery/reboot default version this should take you into cwm recovery then follow instructions in my first post.

As I told earlier also, I am very new for all this. I am not able to find a ftf file by which I can flash back. Please see if you can provide me with the exact link & the way how to do it through flosh tool. I know I am sounding dumb but actually this is my condition right now. Thanks in advance for all support

It seems to me you are already on .587
you might need to do the cache and dalvik
in general doing the back button should bring you to the menu
put back the battery of your phone and press the back button and see if that diplays the recovery mode from your tel from there delete cache and dalvik reboot it again wait a few minuteswhile booting and should come back to life
Raps
Looking at flashtool I thing you flashed Lti15 then tried to flash Lt18
Download this file http://uploaded.to/file/26z1n4ys this is uk arc generic GB ftf open flashtool press lightening bolt icon select flashmode choose your file you downloaded make sure you have put it in firmware folder on flashtool.Make sure cache and data are ticked flashtool will start doing its work.It will tell you to connect your phone hold down back button while connecting phone to pc a green light will come on phone,leave flashtool to do it's work. When flashtool finished it will say unplug your phone do that,now start your phone finished you will be on Arc GB :fingers-crossed:

If it keeps happening with all those different firmware's then you need to try:
(1) Different usb port on computer yes sometimes this works
(2) Different version of flashtool older version - newer version depending what you are on
(3) Re-Install drivers on computer
(4) Disable your antivirus
(5) If available try another computer
Not necessarily in that order
Hope that helps

Your bootloader should be unlocked to use flashtool. Are u in stock ROM ?

Wrong. You do not need unlocked bootloader for Flashtool.
To OP: Download again the FTF file, seems like file is corrupted.

I agree with @bejunk
the latest version of flashtool have bugs, i also face the same issue like yours but after trying to do the same for 2-3 time solves the problem.
also the drag & drop support is also removed from latest flashtool.
The older version were great with no bug.
