[Q] My Arc is VERY unhappy ... - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
On Saturday night my Arc (debranded Rogers, locked BL, rooted with zergrush, running 2.3.4 on firmware .42) was running just fine. We were out at a friend's place and I was calling up photos, doing Web searches, no problem. Then yesterday when I turned the beast on it went into in a bootloop - SE logo, blank screen, SE logo, blank screen ...
I managed to boot into CWM to be able to turn it off, but that was as far as I got (and after a wasted afternoon trying to reflash I can't even get to CWM now).
PCC/SEUS are no help at all - after going through the 'Repair phone' process PCC says there's 'no software available for your phone yet'. I've tried reflashing generic f/ware with both Wotanserver and Flashtool 0.6.8.0; with Flashtool I get the same "Final data verification failed" error as reported recently here with an X10 after 99% complete. And this message from the bottom of the log makes me suspicious Flashtool wants me to change mode, which is just a little tricky when I can't start the phone:
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Current status is the phone boots to the SE logo, then displays an image of an exclamation mark over a phone - one of the least informative images I've seen, unless it represents a tombstone, which seems very possible! - then dies again.
I've looked at a couple of other XDA threads about bricks; the most promising-sounding one was talking about unlocked bootloaders, though, so I didn't try to flash the file they were talking about.
I might feel slightly better if I'd done something - anything! - like an OTA update or whatever to cause this, but all I did was turn the thing off for the night, as I always do.
Please, somebody: help!!
Thanks, in great anticipation.

Didcha tr y reflashing rom or kernel? Also factory reset might help.

Thanks, ArmorD.
Just ROM - I can't do anything with the kernel with a locked bootloader, can I?
I'd try a factory reset if I could get into CWM, but I can't. I tried the reset method from here, but the phone still just goes to the SE logo, then the 'tombstone'.
Open to pretty much anything at this stage!

Well, what you can do is i think re-flash it with Update service, it might work than.
Here is the link to update service since you wont find it in SE website.

:S Nvm. You already have tried update service. didn't saw it when i read it first..

Bro, just reflash the system
I have just ended up with a boot loop on my arc.. I reflashed and it worked well!

So did I, and it didn't! But thanks anyway.
Further news: trying to eliminate possible causes, I've had the SD card checked (by inserting it in another device). It's quite readable. I didn't really think this problem would have anything to do with the card, but it seemed worth trying.

Well, idk. Sorry bro! Try to flash stock firmware with flashtool! And it might work! Also bricked=phone is not turning on at all! Like u press the power button and nothing is happening. Cheer up man u finally gonna fix it. ;-)

i have encounter tha triangle with ! inside and a phone beside it, it happens when i tried flashing my phone using wotanserver,i want to root my phone and tried to downgrade to .42 taiwan ftf,but the file in wotanserver is maybe damage and did not finish flashing,then i got that "tombstone" icon.
what i did was flash it with uk tft .42,and it restored my arc s,after that i flash it again with .62 taiwan ftf since i live in taiwan, i dont know if this will work on your phone. or maybe you already tried doing it. i just want to share what i happen to encounter. hope you fix your phone.

Untouchable: thanks - I wish I shared your faith!
asderth8000: thanks also. I tried a different firmware version tonight (US generic; previously World; also tried Australian) but same result - Wotan dies with 'ERROR: File write failed' while writing userdata.s08. It feels like that's close to the end of the process, which suggests Wotan and Flashtool are both getting hung up at the same place. Screenshot of Wotan error atatched - hope it gives somebody some ideas.
I appreciate your help, people. Keep them thoughts coming!

lol bro stop using Wotan use Flashtool!!!!!!! lol my faith is beyond the limit. I have bricked & ubricked my cell a couple of times;-)

I got that same error using .42 Taiwan ftf, maybe try UK, it works fine with me although I don't live in UK.
I remember mine was on userdata.07 when an error occured,I thought at first that it was my connection then I tried doing it again and it failed, then I tried the UK version and it goes well. Save your apn settings too.

It's BAAAACK!
First, and most importantly: I have a phone again.
The eventual answer was this thread, suggested by sdk16420. I hadn't tried it before because it was talking about unlocked bootloaders, but I fired it up this morning and ... guess what? I've spent most of the day restoring things, but I'm pretty much there - even rooted again (lost that along the way). The phone says there's an OTA update for .62 ready, but that failed and PCC doesn't believe it exists. Ah well, there's always something ...
Secondly: huge thanks to the XDA community for your support and suggestions. You guys are OK!

PLEASE HELP - Potentially bricked LT18i
slightly different similar problem:
LT18i, 2.3.4 build .62.. or it was!
Wares used: SE Bootloader Lock/Unlocker, Flashtool
Flashtool really should come with a lot more documentation and user guide: I'm a software person, but C++ is my confortable realm!
Managed to flash CWM on there and got it stuck in a bootloop of CWM (trying to install RootXperia.zip): tried many other images, the best I can get is a Sony Ericsson Logo looping.. I guess my SD card is okay.
Can't find an up to date, stock, 2.3.4 build .62 to repair my phone..
Help! A Walkthrough of my problem helps me rinse my degree and this equates to thanks and donations, I am a desperate man right now!
Please hassle me for info, help me help you help me!!

My Arc is Crying too!
PS that r800i ROM didn't work for me!
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU LOVELY PEOPLES:
-A link to the stock ROM or LT18i .62
-noobproof couple of steps to explain flashtool 0.6.8.0
-noobproof steps of how to flash the stock ROM/Kernel back in place
Hope you can help me.. my first flash went entirely squiffy!
Thanks in advance!

Help think I bricked it.(Fixed thanks to Alejandrissimo)

I traded for Play today and was going to try and load CM7 on it. I could not get it into fastboot to I could only get into download. I tried using flash tools but that seems to have borked it more. Now it won;t boot and just sits in download mode.
Not sure what I can do. If anyone has some ideas that would be great. Thanks.
I tried the SEUS and it come back that there is no software for my phone.
Since SEUS isn't working for you, it gets a tad trickier depending on what model you have. If you're on Verizon (r800x), you need to find the firmware 3.0.E.2.89 FTF and flash it with flashtool. If you're on ANY other carrier (ie. r800a, r800i, r800at) then you can flash the generic r800i or r800a firmware. The various firmware FTFs can be found in development section. Just make sure that you know whether your device is CDMA (Verizon) or GSM (literally any other carrier) before flashing the wrong firmware. Best of luck

Maybe if you took longer than a day to read and educate yourself on how to unlock and flash the play, things like this wouldnt happen.

+1 very true it took me a week of reading on how to root and unlock bootloader before I did anything to mine asked alot of questions and annoyed alot of people even so I have been Modding and flashing my G1, SGSI900 and NEXUS ONE for years
I have a couple of Generic FTF files and I always get a fail message from flashtools.
I am almost positive it was running a different firmware when I got it as it is a R800a and the software said R800i. I was more frustrated at it not entering fastboot as it should from the way it is described in the video's and tutorials.
This is not my first android or even first attempt at working with difficult devices. I have had a Motorola Milestone, Dell Streak, HTC Incredible S, and my first run with XDA was my HTC vogue. From everything I read it should have been fairly simple to get it into fastboot but when I held the "search" and plugged in USB cable it would just go into charging mode.
Here is what the flashtool outputs:

Sounds like your phone is sim-locked and branded. If yes your carrier has locked you out of fastboot and you need to unlock it a different way.

Pls help
I have a similar problem, the Play won't do anything at all apart from the power light will flash red when I put in the UBS cable, the pc registers it as unrecognised too, It's a R800i Uk edition. Anyone help?

[Q] Another bricked play

i have been trying to fix my play for two days now and have tried everything i can think of
i have a R800i, on 62. firmware, i have tried flashing the stock FTF firmware, tried flashing the "TA brick fix uppdate" tried using wotan client too but no joy
i can still use flashtool and can still enter fastboot but when i turn on my play it just vibrates for a second and then nothing
Get Sony Ericsson Update Service and use that to repair the software; it always works for me no matter what - it can take around 20 retries though -_-... Try removing the battery for 30 seconds after around 10 retries - I have no idea why this helps but it has in the past...
im getting "phone contains modified software that cannot be updated"
is this normal or am i still fuked?
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as it is right now i cant even return it to sony because they will no straight away that i modified the firmware

tried it, still didnt work, is there a recovery method using fastboot that i could try? im unsure whether flashtool is actually working....
i managed to relock the bootloader which meant SEUS finally allowed me to install the firmware which was successful but the screen is still completely black, tried flashtool and wotanclient afterwards, both installed successfully but the screen is still black, i think the phone is working but the screen it self has died somehow
i was wondering, since the bootloader is relocked and the official stock firmware has been installed, should sony accept the faulty play without issue?
its possible if u run the update service and if it says phone is up to date one would think so ... i would ask a question and see what others say im still new to this site but yet i have learned alot make sure u update ur flashing tool too and make sure its properly flashed and when flashing is completed it should say flash complete.

[Q] Help with rooting (long rant)

Hello people
I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,
I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.
Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.
When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.
Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.
So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful.
Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...
http://androxyde.github.com/
All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.
If on .42 then the one click will work
if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.
Flashtools look for version .7.0.1
When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.
I an not in front of PC so cant post links.

[Q] R800x won't boot or show splash screen after unlocking

So maybe I'm not as good at this as I thought, but I unlocked my bootloader through the sony website a few days ago. The phone was working fine with 2.3.4 (from verizon). I tried to revert back to 2.3.3 with the (verizon) .ftf file. After flashing it with flashtool, my phone won't boot at all. There is no splash screen and holding down the power button makes it vibrate every 2 seconds. I am still able to reflash the 2.3.3 ftf, but after it completes its the same story. And of course using seus or PC companion says I have modified software and tells me to kick rocks. Perhaps someone smarter than me can help?
Well I'm confused already. The R800x bootloader cannot be unlocked via Sony's method.
Correct. And my play only has done the vibrete every two seconds because it over heated....so I doubt you have unlocked your bootloader and so after flashing 2.3.3 you bricked probably cuz the file you have is mislabled
Sent from my GBTweaked V7.1 R800x using Tapatalk 2
I should have been more specific. I unlocked the bootloader with flashtool's plugin. I acquired the unlock code from the sony website.
I still have the ability to connect in flash mode, but I guess an overheat is possible...
Again, my knowledge is probably more limited than it should be, but is there a way for me to re-flash the coding the bootloader contained?

Thanks all around! the download link was broken for the first option, so I ended up relocking it and flashing the firmware again. unbricked and back to 2.3.3!
Thanks again guys!
Onward and Upward
Same Issue. Please help.
I now seem to be in the same situation. I unlocked my R800x via the official Sony method about two weeks ago and all was well. I've flashed custom kernels and ROMs and flashed the 2.3.3 ftf countless times. Today I decided to flash the ftf and run stock for a while as my battery life has become crap. It flashed no problem just as it always does, I activated the phone then stuck it in my pocket and went on with life. An hour or so later I take it out and push Home to wake it, but nothing happens. My first reaction is to pull the battery then turn it back on since that usually does the trick, but it vibrates as it normally does but nothing happens. So I flash the ftf again and still the same, I press Power and it vibrates but nothing, the screen just remains black. Since then I've trolled the forums and tried everything I could think of and everything that anyone suggested, but nothing has worked. I haven't tried relocking the bootloader, then flashing the ftf again because I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be more than willing to try it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I am totally lost at this point.I never imagined there would be a day that one of my precious androids wouldn't emerge from a stock firmware flash good as new.
EDIT: I flashed the Xperia BL Relock ftf in this tread then flashed the Verizon 2.3.3 ftf again and it worked! My PLAY has risen from the ashes once again.

[Q][SXS]Bootloader unlock?

So, after trying for a month to unlock my bootloader with every single method I can find online, I've come to this:
-There are two methods described on XDA, and those are the official Sony way and the FlashTool way
-Both methods give me an error (see attachment)
-I've heard of a 'testpoint' method, but I can only find a tutorial for 2011 phones (also, there are no visible testpoints on the phone without taking it apart)
-Nobody has helped me yet, as every thread I post in dies as soon as I ask my question...
So, if anyone can help me with my bootloader unlocking, that'd be great... (preferrably with FlashTool or the official way)
I have the drivers installed, and I've tried on 3 different PCs, so I know it's not a USB port going bananas...
Thanks
(and sorry if I missed the correct forum)
and you have tried the sony webpage to unlock the bootloader?
If it's unlockable there shouldn't be any problems using that site.. Or do you get a error there too??
Nope, nothing works...
I don't really know what to do now, since I really am used of ROM flashing back from my Desire days...
The last ROM I tried was MIUI for locked bootloaders, but I got a brick out of that... XD

Go to the sony official bootloader page and ask for a new one. Just do all the steps again and it will work, it's probably because you used the key and it failed the first time. That's how it worked for me
Nope, that ain't the problem... At least probably not, because I got the same key 3 times from Sony...
I'll check again and report back if it succeeds
Thanks for your help
Well I got a new code (entered another email address and another name, though the IMEI is still the same... (wtf's up with that, anyways?))...
I'm as chilled as a kid on a christmas morning DDD
Gonna try it out
EDIT: I THINK it worked... The CMD window says 'okay' but I'm not sure...
EDIT2: Yay! IT worked!! Thanks a million times DD
