I just bought my Arc S a few weeks ago and I Flashed it with MIUI by placing the zip file in the root of my SD card and booting my phone in CWM Recovery mode from there I selected "install zip from sdcard", I choose the MIUI zip and then I rebooted but the problem is it just got stuck on the Sony logo.
I have tried every possible key combination every possibel way and none of the them did anything to my phone, flash mode didn't work and neither did recovery, that means that hard resete won't be an option.
I previously had ICS 4.0.4 with an old kenel, it was rooted and it had CWM, everyhting was going fine until I tried to install MIUI..
I didn't made any previows backups.
Is there any way I can recover my phone to it's factory defaults or do I realy need to lie to sony saying that it stopped working after an official update, because it still has woranty.
Please help, I just bought it I don't want to lose it so fast :crying:
Thanks for reading and sorry if I wrote anything wrong, English isn't my native language
Hi ! Try to go in the recovery, Do : Factory reset, wipe cache. After that, go in "Advanced" => Wipe Dalvik Cache & Battery Stats (Optional) and then, flash again. And make sure your kernel is for MIUI and not Stock Kernel. Sorry for bad english too.
And if he's still stuck on boot logo, download the .ftf files (4.0.4) for Arc S and flash it with Flashtool. (Phone in flashmode, to do that you need ; Remove battery, wait 10 sec, put it, press the back button and connect your ArcS to your PC)

Thanks for the reply but I said that recovery didn't work, I've tried Vol. Down while powering on my phone, pressing both the left and the righ buttons, Vol. Up, Home+Back+Vol Up... But nothing does anything, it's stuck at the sony spash screen..
go to repair with pcc or seus
pc comagnon
sony ericsson update service
or
flashtool and a stock rom 4.0.4

Hm.. If you have Recovery, you should be able to go in.. Push vol - a lot.. I mean like : *push* *push* *push* when you powering your phone.. Or try the flash mode. Download this file , FlashTool (Drivers for Fastboot mode / Flash Mode included).
Install Flashtool, install flash mode drivers (C:\Flashtool\Drivers)
Place the .ftf file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares and follow these step :
1. Remove your battery
2. Wait ~10 sec
3. Put the battery back
4. Launch Flashtool
5. Click on the lightning, select Flashmode
6. Select the .ftf
7. Wait until flashtool ask you to connect your phone
8. Push back button & Connect your phone on your PC. (Keep it push'd for 3-4sec)
If you have "Flash Aborted" try again. (Cause the drivers aren't installed yet )
And if you have used x-parts for install CWM, no more Recovery after update/flash phone.
relax, that was one of the challenge when using custom rom.
all problem seems solved with flash tool
download here: flashtool, get it on "instalation" folder
download the firmware (tft): firmware
follow the step provided by WrathChild08 here
Alright, thanks for all your replys,
Pushing repeatedly the Vol Down button didn't work, I'm going to try the flashtool method.
I'll report back later, thanks again
THANK YOOOUUUU SO MUCH!!
It worked!!!
I used tried flashtool, flashed it with a firmware I had and boom, it worked!
Thanks you :laugh::laugh:
Enjoy your new xperia arc S !
And be careful next time dude.

hey guys
2 days ago i flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263625
after flash my Phone constantly restarts and i can't make Phone calls. By that i mean: i can pick up the calls but the other side can't hear me and i can't hear anything too. I even can't hear the voicemail.
So i decided to wipe dalvik cache and factory reset via CWM. I realized that CWM didn't work. i just can't get into recovery.
When i came home i tried to connect my Phone to my laptop but that didn't work neither. i can not acces my Phone using USB.
my laptop tried to install drivers but that didn't work. so what i see is that my laptop cannot recognize my Phone, pc companion could neither.
i've read the ROM thread again and i saw that there are to versions: UB & LB. i installed the UB on my xperia S and now model name says LT26ii.
And after that i saw one more thing: before flashing this ROM i had to flash the kernel first. i was so stupid because i didn't read everyhting.
and then i tried to flash this kernel via fastboot but i cannot get into fastboot. when i hold VOLUME UP and plug usb cable, i see the blue led, when i pull off the led goes out and my Phone restarts.
i don't know what to do
can anyone please help?? :crying:
thanks in advance!
try this
So im asuming that your Xperia S didnt flash properly , i suggest you re-install your FW
Method 1
Use flashtool to flash a STOCK FTF (do not forget to wipe Everything) (FTF can be found on XDA file server(Google it)
method 2
use a revovery to RE-install your STOCK ROM (if you dont have one there is plenty on XDA)
method 3
if all methods above dont work then try sending your xperia s for repairs or find your local super nerd

ok, so your phone can still boot??
calm down, i install this rom too and it is ok
could u still transfer file between your laptop and the XS??
if u can, plz download the trinity ultimate kernel first and flash it
and kernel is usually not flashed with fastboot, but flash with recovery
cant get into CWM?? hmm, is it possible for u to install it again??
maybe u need to try another computer if u experience the adb error (yeah, my pc has that error sometimes)

I had the same problem once, and I had to install Xperia Arc's fastboot drivers so my phone would stay on fastboot.
Here are the ones I used, you have to manually install them.
you've chosec the wrong options in aroma
it's so simple
just reflash the rom and make sure this time you don't choose xperia sl

Go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager
When you connect the phone through fastboot, something should appear, right click > properties > update driver > search driver software on computer.
Well, this is the path por Windows 7...

flash twrp recovery or cwm recovery via PC
then u'll be able to mount USB storage!
So, now you can either install a fresh ROM (custom or stock)
or you can also restore any nandroid backup!
nandroid backups for different HOX (CIDs) can be downloaded from here
All the best!
thanx but can you send me a tutorial
pleas how can i do that

Hello,
A friend of mine tried to change from stock ROM to Eragon a few days ago.
He wiped all data and then tried to flash the ROM from Android system recovery but it wont install the ROM.
So now the phone just loads the boot screen when its started but nothing happens after that. I can still get access to Android system recovery.
From what I understand, he should have installed CWM before doing anything really but what's done is done.
Is there a way to save his phone?
Hi,
no worries, it's safe! Just reflash Stock ROM, afterwards CWM and install Eragon.

I have downloaded K05TS-A.A.vA0L.E1.150725.zip (Stock ROM Elephone P8000_20150909_Android)
put that on sd card, then I tried to "apply update from sdcard"
then I get "opening update package..." then "installation aborted"
is there something im doing wrong?
You need to use the sp flash tool, there is a guide somewhere so either try the BBS.elephone forum or Google it you will need to install mtk drivers on your PC/laptop...

Sp flash tool wont start to download.
Is there a certain setting that needs to be on phone, when you just connect it android preloader shows up in drivers quickly and then disappear. But if you hold down Vol - you get "CDC Serial"
But when in fastboot you get android "ADB Interface."
From what I have understood you want to stay in Preloader.
How do I do that?
Have read about sp flash tool, but there seems to be problems with the downloading proces and the mtk drivers.
Any idéas?
Click download first and then connect the phone while it's off. The guide on elephone's site is weirdly explained.

1. Install drivers on your pc
2. download spflashtool
Turn off phone
3. format all + download K05TS-A.A.vA0L.E1.150725.zip
connect phone to pc while off
4. when its done start phone, takes around 5minutes to boot up.
5. download cwm recovery
6. use Spflashtool again and flash cwm.
7. put eragon 2.5 on your SDcard
8. Restart phone in recovery, turn off, powerbutton + vol up.
9. wipe data / factory and cash, and delvik cash.
10. install eragon 2.5
DONE
Thanks for all your suggestions on how to fix it.
I will try them as soon as possible.
To be clear:
You can only install STOCK ROM with SP Flash Tool
You can only install ERAGON ROM via Recovery
To install ERAGON you need to be ROOT'ed and have working CUSTOM Recovery...
Followed Peinnes list of what to do and it worked!
Thanks alot for the help!
Thx very much for this solution that work fine
Just i lose my imei duration and i fix it via the EngineerMode (*#*#3646633#*#*) connectivity - cds information - radio information - phone 1 - AT+ EGMR=1,7,"IMEI" and for phone 2 AT+ EGMR=1,10,"IMEI" (with the space between + and E and a restart at the evry time), you save me
Have a nice day
When i tried to flash an unofficial CMW recovery image file using flashify app, my htc desire 820s stuck in a boot loop. I tried to use SP Flash tool to fix the problem but i can't even turn off my phone to proceed.
I tried to power the phone off but it turns itself on all by itself

I also tried to wipe cache partition and data in recovery mode to solve the problem but without success.
I refer to the link below for installing CWM recovery and to recover the system:

Unfortunately that version of SP Flash Tool doesn't work for our phone
Only v5.1532.00 works. It seems your kernel was corrupt, you would have flashed the boot.img only and preserved your data . I'm glad you solved it though
do one "press volume up ,down and power key at the same time for atleast 10 seconds
