Phone not starting up affter flashing to ics

my computer crashed while i was flashing the generic world update to my xperia arc, now when i turn it on it vibrates as it would normally do and the led(green) flashes as it would normally do but the screen doesnt come on and it doesnt start up,are there any solutions to help restore my phone?im not worried about loosing any data or applications iv ried hard resetting it but that doesnt work and it isnt recognized by update service or sesu

Try using the Flashtool, if you can get the phone in flash mode then you shouldn't have any issues.

thats what i used in the first place which got me in this position, i used flashtool x10 to use a ftf file for generic world lt15i but it stoped half way through, and said error on the log on flashtool

the computer i was using was old because i had to use a windows instead of my usual mac so i used the old windows family computer, it has a problem however with the usb which i did not know about however i plugged in the phone after it prepared to flash(flashtool x10) then it said error in the log of flashtool, then the computer shut down :S now when i try to turn it on it vibrates then the led flashes but thats it, any suggestions?

[Q] Bricked by interrupt update via PC Companion.

Hello people, i have a Smartwatch 2 and i was updating the frimware via PC Companion... in the middle of the process (around 30%) my electricity go off and my pc shut down. I guess the frimware of the device simply get destroyed...
Now, the problem is... the Smartwatch 2 dont boot, the screen never turn on.
Because of that PC Companion don't recognize the device.
I Tried Turn it on by pressing the button 10 - 20 and 30 sec... nothing. Tried charging it by a wall charger and press the button, nothing happends.
Can anyone help me? is there any way to flash the frimware without uising PC Companion?, or is any different way to make the PC Companion recognize the device?
Note: When i approach the Smartwatch 2 to my Xperia Z1 NFC, the phone vibrates, sounds and recognize that is there a Smartwatch 2. I Tried turn on the Smartwatch by approaching to the Z1's NFC and pressing the power button but again, nothing happens.
Any Help will be so grateful. I Have expired the warranty time.

[Q] PC Companion doesn't recognise Smartwatch 3

The title says it all . i want to repair my smartwatch 3 but Sony pc companion doesn;t recognise my watch . what is the solution . Thanks

You need to disconnect the watch, shut it down, and hold the power button until you see the connect to pc animation. Then, go into pc companion and click on the repair panel. It should allow you to download a new update.
Pc panel does not recognize the watch as a normal device.

Hardbrick?

Hi guys,
My C1905 stopped working yesterday. When I'am trying to turn it on by pressing power button, it vibrates once and screen remains black. I tried to repair it using PC Companion. I can't, when i'm entering flashmode, pressing Volume Down and then connecting device to PC, LED becomes green but PC can't recognize my phone. I'm trying this also using Flashtool. The same effect. Bootloader is locked, i've never modified my ROM. Fastboot is working.

At first make sure you have installed flashtool drivers.
remove the battery & wait for 1 min then insert. open flashtool selct flashmode select ftf file. wait it will ask you to connect your mobile to pc. Then Connect your mobile to pc while pressing the volume down button. thats all.

if the notification light is not turning at all than your phone is as good as a dummy

Alter connecting to PC, the light becomes red for about one second or less, then turns into green and stays that way, even if i disconnect my phone, light keeps staying green untill i remove bariery.

your device is not hard bricked. because it is vibrating & led is working. you can solve the problem by flashing ftf with flashtool. try again in another pc

now my PC detects it as ZEUS Flash Device. LED stopped ligthing. Vibrations after turining the device on stopped also. What happened? I did completely nothing.

Oneplus 3 just died out of no where

So i was using my phone and decided to restart it after updating my adaway files but my phone never turned back on. The two press the power button screens did not show up either. I tried to uses the MSMdownload tool since i thought my phone was somehow bricked but that didnt work either, it just kept restarting the download process after everything was completed. my computer makes a sound when its connected and it connects correctly as a quallcomm 9008 device but even after all this nothing is working. has anyone experienced something like this or does anyone have any advice?

did you try to long press both power button and vol up ...you should feel a vibration...
maybe it's not turned of maybe it's error causing the screen to be off... also is there any heat?

Which method of the unbrick tool did you use? First or second? If the first, then maybe you should give the second also a try.

I've tried everything and I used th me second method yet nothing happened. I can see my phone get recognized by the computer and get listed on the MSN device list yet nothing happens after it finishes the process. After the green line shows up telling me that it's completed everything the process restarts writhing a few minutes unless I unplug it. No vibration no nothing the phone just died on me after I restarted it .

Try doing MSM on a different PC with all drivers installed , hope it helps

Try to repeat flashing again, there is no other way. Use method 2only. Extract tool again and try flash.

When I was used Xperia Z1, I bricked my phone with a soft brick. So I installed driver in my PC and flash Kernel though FASTBOOT(ADB) either it's not show Device in my PC (I show just "Unknown Device").
After that my phone can connect to my PC again (Now It shown C9303 or something that meant it know it's a phone).
So I can flash by Flashtools again. Soft brick is not scary as Hard brick, you'll find some way to bring it back easily.
Hope this help!
PS. Bricked Phone is WEAK in Battery, always connect it with charger.
