[Q] bootloop major problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there
i have changed my rom and now i want to go back to my stock. i tried to use pc companion to restore the phone but when i did i got a message saying that i don't have the official rom (or something like that) and that i can not restore my phone to original. so i tryed to change my rom to the stock manually. but i dont know what .ftf file should i use. i made a try with one and now the phone bootloops and i can not even go to cwm to restore it from there.
please please please help me i am so lost.

You have to use flashtool to flash a stock ftf to your phone. There are some here Any one of them would do.
The one i use is here

the thing is that i have arc s and i am in greece. i guess i just need the official ftf file to flash throu flashtool but i just cant find it anywhere. if anyone knows please share a link.

greek official ics ftf is here

thanks man. i am downloading it right now. i just flashed an ftf file "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel" and its still bootlooping, i just dont understand why is this hapenning.
+ am i ever gonna be able to use pc companion again anyway? i mean to update my os

i think the problem is you are flashing a kernal instead of a full rom.
also you'll be able to use PC companion and all it's functions when you have a stock rom

Try to repair phone on pc with pc suite. If that doesnt work download flashtool and flash this.

you have to flash the only compatible kernel for this rom, fusion 4.0
search for it, you won't get any problem flashing racing bean

[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.
Restore your phone using Sony Update Service, since you have locked bootloader.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

Need urgent help. I flashed the MIUI v5 rom on my ascend p6 but did not like it and want to revert back to the original stock rom. I unfortunately did not make any backup so I am not able to restore and I cant find the stock rom anywhere. I found the firmware with dload/UPDATE.APP but it doesnt work when I try to flash. Please if someone can help would be really grateful!! (total noob here)

Thanks a lot for your help. I found the method to restore the stock rom. However am facing a wierd problem. Every time I try to copy the UPDATE.APP to the dload folder, it proceeds up to half and then gets stuck. After sometime I get an error message saying " Cannot move UPDATE.APP: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"
I have tried a dozen time and the same thing happens over and over again. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE: Seriously I sometimes believe machines have a mind of there own with their own mood swings or something. I had copied the UPDATE.APP in the sdcard dload folder but was not able to copy it on the internal drive. Earlier when I tried rebooting to recovery for installing the rom it didn't work and I thought it was cause the UPDATE.APP was not in the internal storage. After much tinkering I finally did a factory reset and then rebooted into recovery again and somehow IT WORKED. From what I think, I guess it wasn't working earlier due to the CWM but i have no idea!!! Any thanks a million for your help!!!

[Q] i8160 - stuck @ boot - no recovery possible

Hello guys!
I have an Ace2 (which was on Android 2.3.6) and tried to install CM11. At first it didn't work, because I had no CWM. So I flashed a Kernel with CWM and installed the CM11-ROM via CWM. That was no problem. But when I was setting up the ROM, I realised that I had no mobile/phone connection at all.
So I tried to install a few stock firmwares via Odin. The installation always finishes with no errors. But when I boot the phone it does not get any further than to the Samsung-startscreen.
And I can't access the recovery mode anymore! Only Odin-Mode is still possible.
Is there an option to get my phone back to some kind of stock state.
Please help me out!

Try to re-flash into stock rom, the jellybean version. If you had a problem with the network maybe there's something wrong with the csc file

That's what I'm trying now. I thought I already tried to downgrade to GB but after looking on the filenames of the different firmwares I tried, I noticed that they are all JB's.
Thank you for the replys. Currently I'm waiting for my GB-firmware to download...
You havr to use the 3 part firmware to downgrade.

Link is somewhere in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930
if u will get bootloop after installing GB, go into recovery (if u will get that possibility) and wipe it, btw, did i understood well? U flashed CM11 when u have been on GB?
---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
U can also try to flash stock GB/JB (depends on which firmware u have now) kernel separatly. Ramdisk (u have recovery in it) is flashed with kernel so it can help

NOW I KNOW TOO! :silly:
I have to stock upgrade to JB first, BEFORE I flash custom JB ROMs.
I'm already loading a 3-part firmware, from that thread you gave me. Although the first link did not work, I hope there is the same (3-part) firmware in the second link.
U mean u are downloading from this link http://d-h.st/AZN ? (I8160XXLK6.zip)
Yes, its definetly GB stock rom, i was forced to use I8160XXLK6 (not from this link, but still) when i messed up my phone few weeks ago (same problem i could enter only odin-mode)

Yep, that's exactly what I'm downloading @ the moment.
And those are the 3 parts for Odin which should bring the phone back to GB-stock?
PDA: CODE_GT-I8160_I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar
CSC: CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-OXELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar
PIT: GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G
Did I get that right?
I just don't want to mess it up again...
And btw:
I already tried a I8160XXLK6 but it was a single-file firmware and had no effect on my problem.
I need the 3-parts including CSC and PIT, right?
It doesnt work? Huh dunno why.
Lets trust @teddysten and upgrade to JB, it might work
If it wont u will have to do some research and find 3-part GB rom
The single-file firmware did not work for me!
I haven't tried the 3-part firmware yet, from the link that you gave me. In about 10 minutes the download will be finished and I'm going to try it immediately!
Well. Remember that after flashing first booting (samsung logo ANIMATION) takes a while.
if u will still have this issue after downgrading to GB then upgrade it from this to JB anyway because it might work (dont ask me how, i dont know how so i wont explain). For now im out and ill visit XDA tommorow (earliest).
soo Good Luck and i hope that others will help u too if u will get some problems.
I am here if you need help
What version of you Odin do you have ?
Ok...
I downloaded the 3-part firmware to get back to GB stock.
That worked.
Then I installed the original JB-firmware from my provider.
That worked too.
So I'm happy again and everything is working!
Thanx a lot guys!!!!! :highfive:

Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thank you so much. I was in this EXACT situation (GB to KK) and tried everything; pretty much every GB single-file ROM I could file. The 3-part ROM did the trick though!

i mentioned earlier where u can get the full firmware, it is a 3.1 GB file, and here are the methods i have tried
sdcard dload force flash
extracting the images and flash them individually using adb, for that u can use huawei update extractor, and for going into fastboot mod, plug in your phone and press power+volume down, tell me if u had any luck booting up
