Hello geeks, please help me out wai, I was updating my xperia arc s via OTA and dumsor happened all I could do is watch my run out of battery and go off, when the light was in, I powered my phone on just to see it stuck in a boot loop with xperia on the screen that's all. I flashed it with xpreia flash tool using ICS 4.0.4 since that's the FW version it had before but still it remained in boot loop just as it was before, I then downgraded to gingerbread and still stick in boot loop.Hmmm am worried indeed can someone please help me out? maybe recommend a different software for the flashing cos I Google and all they recommend is the flashtool I had used before. Plsssss Help

I wanted to downgrade my arc s from .62 to .42 so i can root. I flashed it and after the process finished, i disconnected the phone and it started into a boot loop. I can't do anything now. How to fix this? I tried flahsing it once more but the phone is not recognized. Im afraid that the battery will dry out and afraid that it will brick the phone because when i plug it in to the power suply, doesn't shows any signs of charging.
How can i fix this please? Thanx
Pull battery out to exit the boot loop.
And then reflash the FW using Flashtool.
if i pull it out, wont it brick my phone? Thanx
Why it should brick your device?
How do you put your SIM or microSD in without pulling out the battery?
You can fix flashing a new kernel, like DoomLord kernel v18.

Simply pull out battery and reflash the rom to solve...
I fixed it. I had to flash another firmware because the one i used in the first place didn't work.
Now that im rooted, how can i update to the latest firmware? As i heard, can i do it over the air? Now im .266 and id like on .62.
Thanx

not sure about what happen if you update ota with your rooted fw,but you can update using flashtool,find some fw from dev section..

landis, the current firmware that he used should be not compatible with the kernel, some Roms not compatible, then i said to him to flash kernel, like DoomLord kernel, than fixed it...
You don't know which ROM he wants to flash, he just flashed .42 FW for root and ended up in a boot loop.
He can solve this with my instructions given in the replies, so there is no need to flash a kernel atm.

If you haven't modded some system apps and your BL is locked, OTA should work as well.

Thanx everyone for your replies. I managed to get out of the boot loop but i am still very confused what am i doing wrong because cyanogenmod doest work. I unlocked the boot loader, rooted, instaled clockwork mod, wiped the datas and caches, instaled from sd card and i always get stuck on that blue cyanogen logo while alternating witht the green press android to begin screen, 4 out of 5 times with unresponsive touchscreen. On time it managed to get to homescreen but briefly because rapidly in changed again to that blue screen loading and after a couple times i saw the cyanogen lock screen but without being able to do anything while looping in that booting or loading sequence with that blue logo screen. Im tired and confused of tryin this over an over again, and now im on .266 firmware and i guess because i have unlocked the bootloader i cant update to .42 ota and i cant find another .42 firmware for arc s that wouldnt get stuck after flashing. Any sugestions ? Thanx guys

Hey
Maybe there's someone out there who can help me...
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 on my Sony arc (LT15i) with the firmware arc 4.1.b.0.431...
I'm fighting all day with the issue. I'm trying to flash this MIUI version.
First I flashed and rooted the custom ROM with these instructions
Everything was OK
I installed CWM (the newest I got), flashed MIUI, but after restarting the system the only thing I get to see is SONY logo...
Please help me someone...

Hey friends,
I finally managed to brick my device (c6503).
Had it on resurrectionremix and wanted to go to lineage. After that didnt boot i tried some older CM12/11 builds and finally lost my recovery whith flashing an aosp rom...
I decided to go on stock using flashtool, and now here I am, looking as stupid as it gets
Tried various ftf's using flashtool, always resulting an a black screen after the sony logo. now i dont know what to do next.
Your Help is much appreciated

I was able to find a solution myself. I flashed some Kernel which included cwm via flashtool. I was able to boot into this recovery. Then I used ADB sideload to install CM14.1 unofficial and voilà!
I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.
Regards!
Were you able to return to ROM STOCK ??
I'd like that, but unfortunately I could not, even flashing a custom recovery on it.
I would like to go back to ROM STOCK, do you know any tips?

I have a similar question, I appreciate your help if you can.
Now, I have 7.1.1 Nougat from XOSP , and it works well. I'm trying to restore the official kernel from Sony, using Sony's Emma, to make some tests. When I flash the package from Emma onto C6503, it won't turn on, just show Sony Xperia logo and then black screen. Do I need to flash other packages ? I thought the Sony's official kernel has all things to put it back to near original form.
Thanks!
I have Installed RR-N 20160312 then revert to stock LL, then Only Sony/Xperia Logo. Then I ask some question, they say Flash Kk, successfully flash the Kk build. But unfortunately, My Internal Storage Cannot Read. I think that was the Problem why flashing LL just make it only Sony Logo, No Bootamation. Still finding a workaround to fix this

I was not able to return to stock Rom. In fact, I tried to revert to stock today by simply flashing it with flashtool but got the same "black screen after Xperia logo" issue as last time. I would like to return to stock in the future, but for now I dont know how and I dont think there is anyone dedicaded to fix this issue right now.

Well, just got back to Stock 5.1.1.
Followed the idea posted by Kran007:
-Coming back from CM14, used EMMA FlashTool, that resulted in the famous black screen
-Flashed stock Kit Kat FTF using FlashTool (not EMMA) with unlocked bootloader (should work perfectly fine for locked bootloaders as well) and started the phone correctly.
-When back to FlashTool and locked the bootloader, just in case.
-Used PC Companion to update to the latest build available, only works with locked bootloader i think
It's not the best solution, it isn't the fastest either, but it works!!!
Hope this can help anyone...
Just flash stock 4.4 kk firmware using flashtool. Yes, it needs a lot of work to go back to stock LP, root and have recovery but it is the best way when you flash custom rom with nougat and above. I don't face again the problem of not accessing internal storage ☺
