thank you guys i fixed the flashtool program coz it was corrupted & flashing went fine, but my phone isn't rooted yet, any suggestions on which rom should i use after rooting with flashtool.
Rooting will allow you administrators privilegies, so you can mod it.
For roms (custom rom) you need to unlock your bootloader which will break your warranty from sony.

The link below goes to a thread where you can download a stock rom (one which is as supplied by Sony).

You can flash one of these to your phone to get it working again...
Im trying to unlock my galaxy nexus's bootloader. my phone is in bootloader mode. i cant get my device to be seen, getting the waiting for device command.
i have installed like every driver possible. The whole android sdk with google usb. plus samsung usb drivers.
please help me i dont know what to do next
thanks
This is the best that I have found...... Have you checked in Devices to make sure you do have the ADB drivers or its it still showing the yellow triangle?

thanks! i managed to get it working. i am now rooted. One more issue... i dont seem to have service anymore???
i havent installed any roms or anything
thanks
I would try a reboot... remove sim... settings and search for networks. Other than that just flash a new rom.. Mine worked fine after root....but I guess it depends on the network.

It would really help if you gave some details:
OS
what have you tried
what happened.
If you're on windows Vista or later and can't get the device recognised - that's a common problem, install pdanet, that will pull all the drivers in, and try again.
Otherwise, more details.
File to sd
i have unlock my bootloader and rooted my phone
how do i add a zip file to my sd

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.
Sent from LT18i @ Xda Premium
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!
-cheers

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.

This package has saved me before, even for things it isn't meant for. Worth trying, won't do any more damage I think.

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!
Omg plz ignore my noob self, except massive props to doomlord.

Start bootloader and hard reset your phone it may help you
sry for my bad english
Hello guys, i have a problem with my little sisters s4 mini lte. This morning my sister wanted to play with her phone but it doesn't turned on or charged. I don't know what to do because my mum worked for this phone hard. When i plug it in my PC (win10) it only shows in device manager qhsusb_dload. I google it and I found out that it is hard bricked. The phone has cm13 because kitkat had performance problems and multitasking problems. Could someone please give me the debrick.img for cm13 for i9195. I know there are guides on other threads how i can do it myself but i really have no idea how to do this . I just know that i have to write the debrick.img on a 16gb sd card and put it inside. I would be very thankfull if someone could help me. :fingers-crossed: @ValenteL pls help me

There is no such thing as CM debrick.img as custom ROM's do not change the bootloader, you need the debrick image that matches your last stock image installed (probably) as this would have the installed the bootloader which is what your debrick.img takes over from to try to boot your phone. (that is my understanding ...... but I'm no expert in this area!)
But you should try all other methods to boot your phone before this.
That is weird, my girlfriend has the exact same thing 2 days ago with CM13. Also looking for a way to fix this.
