Hello everyone. I've been searching the forums for two weeks now, and I haven't found the solution to my problem. I accidentally deleted all system apk's from an Xperia Arc, and now the phone gets stuck at boot loop. It shows the Sony logo, the Xperia logo and then restarts. Flashtool recognizes the phone, and when I try to install a recovery, it restarts. The phone is rooted, but recovery does not work. Hard reset does not work either, nor can I flash the kernel with flashtool. Sony PC companion recognizes the phone, but I can't get it into fastboot mode, pressing the back button while connecting the usb cable does not work. What can I do to get the phone working again?
Can you try to flash a FTF stock firmware first? If you have problems with fastboot you should try flashing a full ROM first.

Hi popthosegaskets
I did try to load a firmware with a ftf file. I follow all instructions carefuly, and when I get to the part where I have to connect the phone to the usb cable while pressing the back key, nothing happens. I have Windows 8.1, gordon gate drivers installed and FlashTool 0.9.13.0.
Did you install the latest Windows 8.1 update?

Thanks Diabblo, I will try this when I get home later. I must say that my computer recgonizes the phone, but I'll give it a try, I'm desperate and I want to find a solution to this.
Update is installed, and I cannot get into fastboot mode, nor can I enter recovery mode and the phone keeps restarting.

sorry can you give my a little rsume of your phone actualitty and before,
stock ? bootlader unlock ? recovery ? kernel ? rom ? firmwarre numbers ?
PC, 64 32 bits ?
have you try flashtool ?
If you can geet in recoverry try flash a custom rom (for locked or unlocked )
Last chance if pc and flashtool do not reconize you use a live cd ubuntu or somme other linux to get phone back a life.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 64Bits / Yes, I have tried Flashtool, I cannot get into recovery. The phone was in stock rom, I tried to install Clockwork recovery mode, but it didn't work. I then cleaned all system apks, thinking that it would erase the previos recovery and allow me to install a new one, so I could install a custom rom (Zelly Cream V3). The phone is rooted, but keeps restarting. Locked bootloader, I cannot give you firmware number, the phone does not boot into android.

Okay show how have you install/try cwm recovery the first time ?
Yes flashtool is not for get cwm is for flash stock ftf, you don't need cwm to is working.
copy ftf in good folder launch flashtool and Just follow the instructions.
I would suggest u to install Windows 7 and flash stock firmware ftf using flashtool. In Windows 8.1 fastboot & flashmode drivers are only working if u have usb 3.0 port in ur pc.

The problem is that the phone itself won't enter fasboot or flashmode. The led does not turn blue. I don't think it's a problem with my computer, but I'll try with another computer.

Help! I just updated the firmware on my GT-N5110 to US Cellular South 4.4.2 (from 4.2.2), both downloaded from SamMobile. I used Mobile Olin to do the update, and everything seems to work, except I can't turn on the WIFI - the software switch simply won't turn on. I even wiped the data and restored to factory settings, but still no WIFI.
I had made a backup copy of my 4.2.2 install which is on my ext storage, but I lost root, and my ROM manager install, so I'm unable to restore the backup, and booting to stock system recovery doesn't recognize my backup.
I installed Kies on my Win7 laptop, but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize the tablet when I plug it in, so it doesn't seem that I can use Olin 3.07 to re-flash 4.2.2.
So, I need some help,
Thanks in advance!

Mobile odin doesn't flash the new bootloader which is required for wifi to work on the new 4.4.2 roms. You can either flash the new bootloader through Odin for PC, or flash Civato's custom kernel which fixed wifi without needing to flash the new bootloader. Check Civ's thread in the dev section.

Sounds like he can't flash because no root or custom recovery. Can't Odin because no root and PC won't recognize the device.
I would wonder why the PC can't recognize the device and work on fixing that. Did you try uninstalling/re-installing the PC driver, different USB ports, different PC, etc? You don't need Kies installed for Odin to work as long as the PC has proper drivers and recognizes the device.
Thanks for the replies and feedback. Is there a thread that explains how to install Windows drivers without using Kies?

Strange, root shouldn't be required to flash with PC Odin. Like you said, he just needs the correct windows USB drivers and to put the device in download mode.

Just Google "Samsung USB drivers" and you should be able to find the file. Once you do, download it and install on your PC. Then put your device in download mode, start Odin, connect the device to your PC via USB and try to flash again.
I have the same problem, after 4.4.2 OTA update, wifi is not working.

So first unplug your phone from your pc otherwise it won't work.
Than I had the same as you in the picture with the recovery 'stuck' but for it simply worked if I reboot straight again into recovery via the three buttons.
Hope I could help

You still have your usb cable plugged in. It will NOT work like that. @taaeem has already mentioned that.
What was the previous firmware that you had installed?
If it was a Chinese firmware, you need to try flashing this file first: https://mega.co.nz/#!8kcVADpB!JKeDlX4WQhmAP3mclNTfIzIjVllw5sMhnrj-3KSpSc4
maybe the sdcard causes this error too..had this with a 16gb fuji card..with a 8gb noname it worked..
and unplug your phone before flashing..as mentioned..

hi miz_pimp, if i do not plug in the usb cable, it will directly go into fail as showed in the picture124 i attached below, I do not rmb what firmware i installed previously, but I did a full wipe, I do not think thr is still firmware inside beside stock recovery.

Have you tried the file that I linked to above?
I think your problem is that you flashed the incorrect recovery version for the firmware you had on your device.
Unless you used TWRP to completely wipe your device before you flashed your stock recovery (which was not at all necessary), then you should still have a firmware on your device.

well when you flashed custom Rom you risked it..
any ways. reboot your device in fastboot mode. if you want to flash MM then flash latest MM bootloader, boot, recovery,fastboot, ifwi. if want to flash LP then LP bootloader.
then reboot to recovery mode factory reset and sideload the firmware for which you flashed bootloader..

Arobase40 said:
I experimented this no touch TWRP but it is mostly buggy excluding the non touch issue there is a bigger issue which is that once installed you can't get out from it as it bootloops into this recovery mode. Flashing a stock recovery won't change anything.
You will have to totally restock your phone from scratch and then re root it and restore all your apps and data !!! ^^
I found out the twrp tree for A52 4G and was able to build a TWRP but obviously I can't test it.
I'm not able to build a twrp for A52S 5G for now as there are missing many kernel modules and other stuffs so I have to build them from kernel source code. So for now I'm working on the device and vendor config files...

So you got stuck in a bootloop after installing twrp. Have you tried just extracting the stock boot.img from firmware AP file and flashing it with odin? I really don't get it why you had to reinstall everything to stock. It's not necessary to reflash every partition if you only messed up one

While the phone is completely off, press vol up and vol down buttons at the same time and then plug in the usb cable to the computer. I had that happen too, when the device fails to boot it automatically puts you into download mode and it says that the OEM LOCK is on. You just have to reboot to download mode manually.

You don't need to unlock bootloader to flash stock fw with Odin.
Your problem is most likely related to something else.
Where did you download your fw?
Have you tried different cables?

A Locked bootloader will prevent you from installing any custom things, like recovery or custom roms. It will allow you to install stock firmware via odin. Use Odin 3.14 to install firmware downloaded from here. Use the AP, Bl, Cp, and CSC_OXM files. That will get you started from scratch, all previous data and stuff will be deleted.
