Hi guys,
I did something very stupid and it seems I've bricked my arc for good
My Arc had unlocked bootloader and was on rooted 2.3.2. When the phone found firmware OTA update, I chose to download it, then the phone rebooted and started installing new firmware. After a minute or so, it turned off and that was the end, it's not possible to turn it on any more. The led won't even lit up. Is there anything I can do to revive it ?
Arrrgh, this exact same thing happened to me, I woke up and it said there was software update available (I have unlocked bootloader and rooted 2.3.2)
I blame still being mostly asleep on hitting ok. Now I have a brick!
Some more info.
I've tried pulling the battery and putting it back in, It still won't power on.
I've tried holding down menu and plugging it into USB to reflash it and the blue light doesn't come on.
Sorry to hear that, and many people have this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106250
Can't update firmaware through OTA after unlocking bootloader
Sorry to hear about your phone
I always turn of the "auto check for updates" thingy on android. Learned the hard way on my Desire when it got updated to Froyo over OTA and had to wait a while for root lol.
Anyway,SE provided the info to unlock the bootloader and that an OTA coming from them bricks the phone is kinda silly. Far as i know u can't update through SEUS (might be wrong) when it's unlocked and it would be a nice idea maybe to not be able to install the OTA update either.

won't work if you can't get it into flash mode.
Can't you get it into Fastboot mode (give it a few hours charge..) then pull the battery for 30 seconds...
then hold the menu button while plugging the usb cable in... should (in theory) go into fastboot mode - then you can fastboot flash a fresh system.img

Tried - no help though. Any other ideas? Or just to go and buy a new one?
By the way, did the same thing: my Arc LT15i has/had unlocked bootloader, rooted 2.3.2 (first firmware) and is/was 3.0.A.2.181. While preparing to try to lock bootloader in order to use SEUS and upgrade firmware, I've connected the phone which asked me to check for the updates and found T-mobile update (approx. 40Mb). Asked to dowloand and an idiot pressed "OK". And now, everything is black - just as the mask of the phone is.
The green light just blinks when the "power on" button is pressed, or charger is plugged in.
Can't it be unbricked with flashtool?

[UPDATE] to my previous post:
Steps I have done:
1. Charged the battery for 4-5 hours
2. Flashed my Arc using the manual for flashing by @Step666
3. The progress went well and at the end there was a message:
"INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
INFO - Then go to application settings
INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging"
I have tried to turn on the phone. There was a small vibration as when you're turning on the phone (note: before flashing there was not even this vibration when pressing power on button), but the screen remains black.
Any ideas for next step(s)? Thanks for trying to help!

How can you repair a bricked phone with pc companion? Dont u need the phone to be booted and running?
No, but it will need flash mode. Hold back button while plugging in usb to pc. If not recognized, use Wotan server.

Found the problem myself, after sliding up the little black test point cover, it interfered with the screen, so holding the top left corner tight enabled the screen, so shook the phone a bit and it's fine now, must have been wedged somewhere it shouldn't have been.

while the phone is off connect it to pc, open Flashtool in fastboot mod. Flash a stock FW.
If that doesnt work open PC companion it should ask u to repair it if u follow istructions.
@deniel: It doesn't connect neither PC Companion or Flashtool. It doesn't enter in flashmode.

Have you pressed the menu key while connecting phone to computer?
bricked phone have to be OFF(remove battery and put back if necesaary if it's stuck at sony screen), prepare flashtool ftf and follow onscreen instruction and the flashtool will revive the phone.
Or maybe you could show the error msg from flashtool.
you are really bold in trying the untested bootunlocker, this definitely is a hard brick. hope you get out of this one.

Sorry for asking again: You started FlashTool (v0.9.8.0), clicked on the flash icon, selected "FlashMode", chose a firmware for your Arc S, activated "No final verification", clicked "OK", pressed the back button on the switched off phone WHILE plugging in the USB-Cable? No green LED - nothing? Did it work before?

Sorry if we repeat the same thing, but it must work like this: you hve the phone off and unplugged. You open flashtool, select the flash icon (flashtool), select the FW, and it tell u to plug the device to pc while holdin back button.
Sure u hold the the backbutton while pluggin in? and after have selected the FW ?
You've to select the firmware first before plugging it in.

Help me please??
LT18i
Locked Bootloader
Root access
Had CMW via Xtools, so when I replaced the rom that disapeared!
The problem is that I've forgot to run the 2nd part - device optimization, and now the touchscreen simply doesn't work...
Can't do nothing - USB Debugging is on by default (never forget that I can't touch the phone)
Can't upload another rom via flashtool, the only thing I'm able to do is change the kernel with the 1_lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_kernelDowngrade
If I try to put the uptodate kernel, flashtool stops on "Reading Device Information"
Already try to restore it with Pc companion, but no luck
USB device is detecting LT15 on windows!
This is a total mess, I'm lost, and I've googled and tryed dozens of things all day long.. I'm tyred, exhausted, and my 2 day old ARC S is bricked!!
Can someone point me a way out??
Remember:
- USB debbug of (have no access to activate it)
- CMW disapeared when installed this rom, so have no recovery menu
- Bootloader is locked
- Can't flash rom via flashtool
I'm devastated!!
Thanks in advance,

Oh, dude flashtool just need your device driver and you have to press back button untill you connect your phone on your pc and it also shown on flashtool which is included in procedure of flashing through flashtool and one thing PC not need to recognized your device because flashtool is the only one method to recover bricked phone. that's it .. if you got confused then please search on google you will find the solution.

Dear bjchettri
I do appreciate all your efforts
I have to explain the situation just to make things more clear because it looks like you misunderstand me
when I connect my phone (in all modes "Bootloader, Fastboot, normal, recovery..etc) nothing happens on my pc
even in device manager (i'm using Microsoft windows) the system doesn't show any item for a new attached device or an item for an defined attached driver (which used to appear all modes)
the flashtool needs the system to find an attached device to communicate with (usually the attached device name looks like "android phone", SE android or something this (depends on ur phone brand, model)
now since my system doesn't find any device when I connect my mobile then the flashtool won't be able to communicate with my device (even if i tried to boot my device in all modes "bootloader, fastboot, normal, recovery) by holding specific buttons (menu or volumn down or back buttons)
and if you read my question you will see that i was asking if anyone knows any way to connect my phone using testpoints or something like this because i though maybe I can let my pc to recognize my phone using the testpoints method.
I'm not sure but if i could make my phone recognized by the pc then i will have like 10 ways to find the problem and fix it.

I have a rooted ZL with a stock rom. Today I got an update for some Sony app (forget which one) and I tried to integrate it into the rom using Titanium BU. That seemed to fail and Titanium just kept on trying. So, I turned the phone off and tried to start it back up again. Now I'm stuck in a loop. It gets to the SONY logo and then starts again.
I've read through some of the other boot loop posts here and I tried a few things already. I've tried the reset button in the back by the SD card. I held it for 10 seconds until I got the second set of vibrations. I tried turning it back on again and I'm still stuck in the loop. I download the companion software (Bridge for Mac. Same as PC companion) and it can't find the device. Actually, at one point in the boot loop it says it is connecting but then shortly after it says no device detected. This cycle continues as the boot loops.
Please, can anybody help me here? Can I flash a new rom seeing as it is rooted? If so, point me in the right direction as I don't know how.

I already said in my original post that I've tried the companion software. I can't get it to recognize the device.
I have tried to boot into recovery mode but am failing. I tried powering on while repeatedly pressing vol up but it just brings up the Sony logo and reboots into the same loop. So, I can't get it to connect to the computer via USB and I can't see how to flash a ROM without being able to get to recovery. Can anybody offer any suggestion other than to throw it away and buy another? I would greatly appreciate it.

SEUS is a little different than pc companion...google it...with it you will be able to restore your phone...
It have step by step on how to restore it to original state...
If you have ftf file and know how to flash it...then your good to go...
Don't repeatedly press the volume button when connecting via USB, when its off, press and hold volume down button while connecting the USB cable, led will turn blue...that's is flash mod...and you will be able to flash ftf file...
It's the same with SEUS when trying to restore it...

Thanks, I'll have to try on my Windows machine when I get home. It's not working on the Mac with the companion software. SEUS is PC only.
I did try connecting while holding the vol down key. I got a quick red led flash followed by a quick green flash, then nothing. No blue, and the computer doesn't see it. I did get the blue led when connecting with the vol up key. But, there is no indication that the computer sees the device.
I'm losing hope here. If I can't get a pc to recognize the device then no companion software or SEUS is going to help. It sucks that you can't hard reset the device without needing to be able to connect to a PC.
Success!
I was able to reload the OS using the SEUS. Big sigh of relief!
Thank you to all that helped. It is greatly appreciated.

Hallo everybody,
I have a question for you, I have a Zuk Z2 (not the pro version) I received this morning the notification for the update to ZUI 2.0.069 and, since I have unlocked bootloader and root, the official update failed, so I downloaded the update .zip file and I installed it from the recovery (TWRP).
The installation went fine but then after the reboot the phone is not turning on anymore.
I guess the phone is not completely off because the white LED is on but when I try to turn it on nothing happen, and if I press the power button for long time I see a black screen with the ZUK logo in the middle but only for a second and then the screen return black.
Also the device is not recognized by the computer.
Do you have any idea what went rong? do you know how to fiy it?
Thank you very much!

So basically what I did was enter in fastboot mode and from there, using adb comand, I unlocked again the bootloader (I already ulnocked it before but the last update locked it again) and then I was able to reboot the phone succesfully.
During the soft brick of my device I was able to enter the recovery (pressing volume up + volume down + power button for almost two minutes) but in the recovery I was not able to wipe and flash a new room, so what really helped me was a tip from a guy in the zukfans.eu forum for enter fastboot directly using the phone buttons.
To do that you have first to completely turn off your phone (from the recovery for example) and then you have to press the buttons volume up and volume down at the same time and NOT the power button, at this point you connect the usb cable from the computer and your phone will enter fastboot mode.
Once in fastboot mode you can use adb comands for recover your phone.
I hope my explanation was clear and if you need I can send you the link to the dicussion at zukfans.eu.

So basically what I did was enter in fastboot mode and from there, using adb comand, I unlocked again the bootloader (I already ulnocked it before but the last update locked it again) and then I was able to reboot the phone succesfully.
During the soft brick of my device I was able to enter the recovery (pressing volume up + volume down + power button for almost two minutes) but in the recovery I was not able to wipe and flash a new room, so what really helped me was a tip from a guy in the zukfans.eu forum for enter fastboot directly using the phone buttons.
To do that you have first to completely turn off your phone (from the recovery for example) and then you have to press the buttons volume up and volume down at the same time and NOT the power button, at this point you connect the usb cable from the computer and your phone will enter fastboot mode.
Once in fastboot mode you can use adb comands for recover your phone.
I hope my explanation was clear and if you need I can send you the link to the dicussion at zukfans.eu.

I requested for replacement phone but my bad ,even new replaced phone also showing same issue.
Is that manufacturing issue since replaced phone also shows same issue.

If you have i modded international rom, that might cause your problems. Use official zuk rom, if you want international flash cm13 or another one.

bricked zuk z2
hey guys and girls
I have a problem with Zuk Z2
The problem is that when the flash-in phone automatically disconnected and I have uploaded all the files you need.
The phone starts but before my eyes:
MAIN MENU:
-reboot
-install update package
-poweroff
When you select "install the update package," the message "system will now install update.zip root directory of the system partition in first ..."
Please help Someone may have a similar case? I know, I'm green: /

I do not understand what you meant when you say " The problem is that ......... file you need"
It appears that when you boot your phone went to stock recovery mode instead of normal mode. If you can not boot it to normal you might need to flash the firmware.
