ARC S Stock rom flashing problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
this is my first post hope it is in the right place ...
so i have a sony arc s device ... i used to have a custom rom on it ... however i wanted to restore the stock rom i have downloaded the files for bother GB and ICS ... when trying to install the ICS through the Flashtool i received an error so i extracted the files and tried to flash the system.sin file through fastboot and it comes with an error that the file has large size ... i tried using the -S argument but still no luck ... did anyone encounter any problems like this ?
and is it possible for someone to point me to a stable custom Rom that i might use ( Last one was very slow )
Note : i installed the GB Rom and it is working and didnt have any errors installing through the flashtool .
hope someone can help me
thanks in advance

Hi,
Which version of Flashtool do you have ?
The recent Flashtool are not compatible with Xperia 2011 devices.

Are you sure you ICS rom is not corrupted ?
Check this : All Stock Firmwares for Xperia Arc S
Read this tutorial to help you : [TUTORIAL] HOW TO FLASH STOCK ROMs WITH FLASHTOOL

As @M0umou said, you will need to get an older version of Flashtool from here (Windows | Linux | Mac) and continue on. I've got a .ftf of the Arc S .587 on my Google Drive so in case you can't flash with yours just download it from here.

EDIT:: I just solved the issue .. 7zipped the ftf .. then created two bundle, one consists of all files except system.sin and other one only with system.sin .. flashed both .ftf one after another and it worked .. running 4.0.2.A.0.42 and with root .. ..
check no final verification box.. before flashing :
I got the same error while trying to flash stock firmware on an Xperia Tipo device.
I opened the ftf file with 7zip and tried to extract the content. 7zip showed an error in the system.sin file that otherwise was invisible since the file size was correct.
I re-downloaded the ftf from another source and everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!

If bootloader locked, flash using Sony Update Service.
If bootloader unlocked, try to flash again with flashtool or flash a kernel with CWM using fastboot and flash a ROM in CWM recovery.

Just a note, simlock.ta is ignored always and it has nothing to with phone's firmware. This is not the cause to your phone being bricked.
Emma tool by Sony

Even I used to get same error on different Xperia device. What I use to do was, if I got this error, I used to select the ftf file again immediately and flash it, without disconnecting the phone and all. I don't know why this works, but it always did for Me.

Did you read it? Newest flashtool doesn't recognise the downloaded FTF! I Google it and someone says that I need to install an oldest version. Then it appears the "error flashing. Aborting..."

i have flashed two N updates .372 and .378 via flashtool (0.9.23.1) successfully!
But when I download the .376 FTF, I plug in my z5p in flash mode and when I want to flash the FTF, it is completely empty! There isn't any downloaded firmware! Why?
Now it appears this error!
ERROR - TA entry (0000084F)parsing error
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
