thank you, problem sorted out by using flash.
Should we refuse the update whenever we get the notification for unrooted Arc S?
Planning to get an Arc S this month,I am just a little worried if update notifications might brick the phone.
i have the same issue except seus says installation failed

Please help !!!!
I have the same problem and have tried various solutions suggested on here, all to no avail. Can some kind person break it down in simple steps for me, I would be eternally grateful.
Had the same issue to get to .62.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed ICS beta
The key is by using the flashtool if you want to
Do NOT use OTA update nor SEUS if you unlocked your bootloader. Its common that you will brick your phone. And if you want to remove the message from your phone just freeze the update service apk using titanium backup or any other application that can freeze applications.

I'm guessing this response might be a bit late but I recently had this. Tried so many different things including flashing different ROMs with fastboot. Eventually used the "unbrick ota ROM" trick and it worked.have a quick search and u will find it on the forum somewhere.
Phone Unbricked again with sucess
Hi guys i want to share some information who was useful for me with Xperia Arc S 12w07 :
Important : Dont make normal updates with SEUS ou PCC if your phone was unlocked by other tool, because you will brick the phone, you need to start using other firmwares, but ask for opinions first..
After Alejandrissimo unbrick my phone, the phone ask me to do update to new version, so i click yes to make thet update, and after 5 seconds gave me one error in update, so my phone was dead again with yellow triangle with one phone, so i talk to alejandrissimo again and he gave one file to fix the phone again with Flashtool, so i will share with you ok, but i think i already saw this file in other post..
Steps :
1º - Install Flashtool - flashtool-0.9.10.1
1.1º - Google and find this file : " [Xperia Device] flashmode & fastboot driver bundle " and install all..
2º - Install all Drivers
3º - In flashtool be sure if the drivers already installed, sometimes the file install but in pc need to install more with the phone connected
4º - Select Flash Mode
5º - Put the fix file in folder firmware of flastool, and you can delete the other file x10 in the same folder you dont need.
6º - In " Program Files\Flashtool\devices\LT18 " you have this file loader.sin, when you try to flash if he give this error : " cant find loader_unlocked.sin ", then you need to rename the " loader.sin " file to " loader_unlocked.sin", and then flash again, and will work..
If was simple bick like my phone it will be fix it, maybe for other phones is the same, check the devices folder for the files and if you need to rename like i did...
Hope this help for some people ok..:good:
Now i need to update to new version of android, but i need to see what is the correct file to flash or i will brick my phone again..
Tks to Alejandrissimo again, he teach me to do that.. :fingers-crossed:

had lot of apk's installed and was multitasking and again the phone rebooted and got stuck @ sony logo.
Tried loading the kernel with cwm built in i.e. 4.1.b.587 with cwm from fast boot this phone is not rooted but the Xperia Ultimate HD is rooted .
Bootloader is unlocked on mt Arc S.
Reloaded the stock Rom , rooted using Doomlord method and was still unable to flash a new kernel .
Tried this
1-Turn off phone
2-Hold down menu key and turn on Connect the usb to computer and led is blue.
3- Got to fastboot folder and type command fastboot flash boot abc.img (abc is the kernel image name) I get device must be rooted.Where as the Xperia Ultimate HD is already prerooted .Please help as I dont have any recover installed now as installing Xparts works only on stock kernel and it installs it on system partition.Any other method to install cwm via flashtool on boot/recovery partition.

You have to unlock your boot loader and install a CWM loaded kernel because every time you change your ROM on a locked boot loader, you wipe your /system (partition with your CWM on it) so you lose CWM.

update your flashtool or download again the ftf.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to root my xperia zl on firmware 10.4.B.0.569 (LB),
so i flashed the old 10.3.1.A.2.67 and installed XZDualRecovery.
So far all worked fine.
As i wanted to update/root with NUTs method i accidentially first flashed C6503_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf before flashing C6503.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip.
I wanted to flash 10.3.1.A.2.67 and start again as i did not want do brick my phone, but this failed...
Flashtool detects my phone in flashmode, but all atempts to flash any ft file are aborted:
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
I hope somebody can help me and know what i should do.
solved
Okay, Sorry for posting,
after countless atempts it just suddenly worked to flash the stock 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware
:laugh:
I got into a bootloop recently due to unlocking my bootloader. I was really worried, so I installed CWM using fastboot on my phone.Then the bootloop also stopped,only the sony logo appears for a small time and then the phone goes black out.I can still boot into recovery.
I came to know that flashing using stock ftf will solve my problem, but now on flashing it gives the error that processing loader.sin completed with errors and then the flashing aborts. Please anybody help me!:crying: I have the latest version of flashtool and have downloaded C1905 15.1.A.1.9 global ftf.
You can try using Emma (a Sony restoration tool) to restore the latest firmware.
Alternatively you can boot to recovery, mount sd card(make sure all pc drivers are installed), download a custom rom like cm/aosp or stock rom (not the ftf but zip), load it to the sd card and then install that via recovery.
Will emma work on unlocked bootloader phones(like mine)? Where can I get stock rom in zip format?

There is no zip of stock rom. What he says is download a custom rom like cm11 and flash it then flash the ftf file again.

Is it necessary to flash the ftf again after flashing cm11?
Until now, Flashtool not provide XM device (loader.sin). #cmiiw
But you can download the file below and put it in C:\Flashtool\Device
For XM Single: http://d-h.st/eBB
For XM Dual: http://d-h.st/hcw
Then try to flash again.
