I tried many times and many versions of flashtool but my phone just won't flash any firmware. Unknown source and debugging mode were selected, but I always get Erro Flashing Aborted and it is really starting to annoy me.
Anyone could help????
let me help u out. u should check and do the following steps:
1. Turn on debugging mode + unknown resource in application setting
2. Make sure, drivers for xperia arc fastboot are installed correctly (no yellow hardware warning in "device manager" windows when you use flash mode
3. install sonyerricson software update and update services from sony website (this will correct ur xperia arc driver)
4. Try to update ur firmware from "update services", it will guide u through flash mode. in my case, that will not let me updated bcoz i already unlocked bootloader. The reason i did update via update services is just want it install correct usbdrivers for my arc
5. Go back to flashtool, now i'm pretty sure u can run flashing as smoothly as silk

Problem is that my bootloader can't be unlocked... No blue light while holding menu button+connecting cable.
I even tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115542 but it failed on Installing User Data.sin (at only one milimeter from succes). I am going crazy over it.... Had to use SEUS seven times so far to have the phone work again.
did u buy sim-locked phone?

So as you may already be aware phones like mine, (orange uk) have the fastboot locked down, and so we cant unlock the bootloader.
I for one believe it can be accessed but needs a little bit of time and research on getting it done.

Did you install the adb drivers on your pc? If adb isnt working, how did you get the info to give htc for the unlock code?
yea
like i said it works up the the point that i have to put in the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin command

That is strange, do other fastboot commands still work? If you type fastboot devices, does it show your serial?
When flashing the unlock code does it give any certain error, or just
hang?
Is usb debugging enabled?
hey
ok what is happaning is adb shows my phone when it is normally running but when it is in bootloader or fastboot it doesent get reconized

Ok you may need to install the driver for that too. On your computer go to device manager with the phone in hboot/fastboot. See if the driver is installed. Its the same driver as the last driver you installed for regular adb, but you have to install it for both one in each mode. Hope you get what im saying.
yea
what driver should i be using?

The same one you used for the regular adb. If you dont have it still you can use these http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip
yea

Not sure, it has to be a driver issue on the pc. Try uninstalling all the drivers, and restarting from scratch. Install the driver with the phone on and booted, then install same driver while in hboot/fastboot. Mabey take a break and come back to it, if you stare at it too long you start becoming a zombie and make mistakes.
yea
that still didint work, i have the drivers all of the updats and i just cant get it to reconize it
Hello to everyone,
I've been trying to root this phone for about 2 hours without any success. It isn't my phone, I have rooted (and every other stuff) HTC, but process is really different on Arc S.
My main goal is just to install Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207, with stock kernel and everything, I just want to install the ROM.
I've downloaded DoomLoRD v4 tool to root it, but I can't figure out what's the problem, I think it's something with ADB drivers.
So PLEASE, can anyone tell me which tools do I must have to root that phone? Where should I install that ADB drivers (and how exactly), do I have to have flashtool or something else, or DoomLoRD v4 tool is enough?
Thanks 1000 times for the one who replies me, I just want to root that phone, and now what I have to do and have installed to succeed.

I just want to mention that I'm on latest official ICS 4.0.4.
No i haven't, i didn't see that anywhere. I'll try and then inform you about it. And just one thing about those ADB drivers, i just have to connect the phone to PC and that's it? If PC recognizes the phone that means that drivers are installed?
Thank you

For ADB drivers, many people have problem with these drivers. In your situation, run eroot and connect your phone, if ADB drivers are installed correctly then your phone will be recognized by eroot and you can root it.
A whole day it took my to root my phone,as i had to downgrade to windows 7 from windows,HOWEVER i had to delete the windows 7 i got and get a new one due to a driver issue.Then after i rooted my phone i was looking forward to fast boot a mod i got...yet it does not work.
So i attempted to unlock the boot loader, but yet again a problem arose where i am unable to unlock it because the command prompt just says "Waiting for device" as you will see in the attachment. I.I have searched all over,done all i could,and i cant resolved the issue!So please someone end my misery and help me fix this.
Fastboot message: device must be rooted first. No root.

I faced similar problem while i was unlocking my bootloader.
i followed the following
Install latest version of flashtool
goto C:\Flashtool\drivers (assuming u set default location for flastool to install)
Use the exe file to install flashmode,fastboot and your device driver
And then try to unlock bootloader
Yes i followed all your instructions , i dont know which one fixed it but it's working completely fine now.Ive got Le0PArDx's rom on mine now thank you guys.
