In Progress of flashing a new rom, i've done something very stupid.
I had factory reset my Phone and formatted /system and then i accidentally
reboot my phone. My Phone stuck now on the Sony Boot Logo and i don't now what i
should do now? I have my bootloader UNLOCKED.
Can i use the Sony Update Tool or what can i do?
Please help me

And if you dont't have a recovery installed, you can also flashing a kernel with recovery and booting into it.

Pull your battery. Put it again. Do a key combination to go into recovery mode. Restore your backup or flash that rom again. Simple.

It is dangerous to open XS's back...
Just press power + vol up until 3 vibrations.
If you really can't go into recovery, use flashtool to flash stock ftf.

i decided to unlock my bootloader on my already rooted phone to try out some new JB roms. I installed Sspeed kernel and RecoverX which was fine then I followed the instruction to install the latest PACman rom by wiping all the caches and the system in recovery before flashing the rom. Problem is I accidentally left out the flashing and went straight to reboot phone. NOW THE PHONE WILL NOT GO PAST BOOTLOADER ANIMATION.
I tried using flashtool to flash stock rom. The phone is connected in fastboot mode but will not flash! PLEASE HELP!
Many thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:

To flash stock rom you need to be in a flashmode, not fastboot.
Ive done that few times just install any kernel via fastboot, then you will be able to go to recovery its just that recovery is kept in system partition, so you wiped all the system and recovery flash any kernel that has recovery build in, and you will be good to go

I'm such a noob lol. I mistaken the vol down for up thats why it didnt flash in the first place.
Thanks all! I knew I can find help here:laugh:
Here is my problem:
I was playing with my brother's Arc S and the things I done are that I downgraded to 462 from 587, rooted it, gone back to 587.
After that I flashed via X-Parts CWM 5. I downloaded Xperia Ultimate HD, I booted it in recovery but something was not OK. Couldn't go to recovery mode with Power + Vol down, so I gone back to X-Parts and pressed reboot in recovery mode. I flashed the rom and after that it bricked..
Couldn't do anything so I restored it with Sony Update Service. I need help how to flash that rom without bricking the device again? I have SGS3 and it is pretty simplier that this..
EDIT: Forgot to say that I tried to unlock the bootloader but it told me that it is already unlocked.
Before installing the Rom zip, what did you do inside the cwm?

Then you don't need X-Parts, just flash a kernel with CWM.

If I brick it again can it be reverted to stock ? I was looking at this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867265
I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.
Thanks n regards

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

Thanks friends for your replies.I woke up to find that my son has already restored the phone using some method as advised by your good selves.he used the flash tool and ftf file.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

Did you flash correct kernel for your ROM? The ROM will not boot if the kernel is not compatible.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
I recently got my Xperia M updated into 4.3 JB and rooted it. Since I had my eye on the cm11, I had to unlock the bootloader. So I did everything perfectly as prescribed in the sony developer site. As I unlocked my bootloader, I tried to normally boot it but it is now stuck in a bootloop. I installed CWM by fastboot thinking that it may help.Please help me!!
thats normal... follow steps
1. flash ftf again
2. boot once
3. install cwm
4. flash anything u want

Ok, I will try it. Thanks
Another question: After installing CWM there is no bootloop but it shows only sony logo ,then the phone goes down and can be booted again when battery is reinserted. Is it normal? Can I still flash it without any problems?

Thanks everyone, now I am relieved a little.
I cannot flash it. When I connect the phone in flash mode after the flashtool has prepared the files an error comes that processing of loader.sin finished with errors and flashing is aborted. Please help me!!
Can flashing a custom rom using recovery help me beacause the flashtool won't work using any of the ftf files?
Hey,

When i now start my Phone and Press the Vol+ Button when the LED appears the LED just get Cyan and thats it. Nothing happend, no Recovery, just nothing...
If anybody could help me, that would be very nice.
BTW: Yes, the Bootloader is unlocked.

which build did you install it? if you did first install you need custom recovery from your rom and then you can install cm to your devices.
first you need FOTA Recovery for your primary recovery, see in this thread for installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58515383&postcount=1
. i suggest you to install twrp version 2.8.7.0 and turn on your device, after that connect it to your pc via adb and do dd if command.
after complete, restart your phone and go to recovery mode and you can flashing safely without any worries again
if you have any question just ask me again

As you are on stock ROM, you need Stock Recovery, flash this.. now boot to recovery. install CM12.1...
(FOTA Recovery will not Work on Stock, because stock kernels doesn't support extract_elf_ramdisk utility. )

But I've noticed that the Sony Update Center want to update my phone to 15.4.A.1.9 even if that´s the firmware that im using. I´ll try to find another .ftf and report if its working or not
