Hi guys,
I rooted my arc using gingerbreak just to get rid of some bloatware. Then unrooted. Know I don't know wether I've accidentally deleted something I shouldn't have!?, but now every time I plug my phone into my laptop via usb, Sony pc companion isn't detecting my phone what so ever!
Is there anyway around this? Getting my phone back to factory state? I've tried a factory reset but no joy
Many thanks
you'll need to try to reflash the firmware. either using flash tool or SEUS.

Is it different the "Factory data reset" from re-flashing the firmware ????
After "Factory data reset" ..... my phone remain rooted (gingerbreak)..... If I re-flash the firmware can I return to "non rooted" mod????
@im_iceman .... Where you found Build 3.0.A.2.184 version???
TIA
yes..re flashing will restore the phone back to it's full out of the box state.. unless you've unlocked your bootloader? it won't do that... but suspect you haven't?

there are a few .184 firmwares on the dev section..

So if I re-flash the rom.... I will return to "non rooted" mod.... but my boot-loader will remain unlock... (I had unlocked it)....
Correct?
I am asking that because I am trying to find a solution to my problem (HDMI not working)
TIA

My understanding is that you can no longer use SEUS once the bootloader is unlocked, but not entirely sure.
exactly ... once unlocked bootloader, you can not relock ... for now .....
and seus will no longer be able to do an update on it....
@nsourtgr
try to reinstall HDMi.apk packages for solve your problem
I think you should install com.sonyericsson.usbux, I've frozen it and my imac could not see my phone anymore, after I defrosted com.sonyericsson.usbux everything was back to normal again.

Thank you my friend.... I tried .... but the problem exists!!!!!
The thing is that I haven't tried HDMI connection before gingerbreak... but I believe that gingerbreak caused the problem....
[Q].... If I flash the rom.... I know that my Arc will remain "bootloader unlocked" but what about "rooted"????
TIA

I think that reflashing the firmware, your Arc will not be rooted ...
do not know what does or does not gingerbreak(problem or not) because I've never tried ..... I rooted my Arc with system.img from binary and I never had any problems .....
Anyway make sure that HDMI was not a problem of your Arc ....
for any help we are here

How would I know if my bootloader was unlocked!?. My arc was sim free, so wasn't locked to any network. All I did was download the gingerbreak apk, which automatically rooted my phone, got rid of some bloatware, and then unrooted it. Now I'm having all these problems

Your Arc can only be unlocked if you did ,following the thread in this section ......
bootloader was release directly from Sony ...
... so I think you don't have unlocked...
In this way you can simply updating your Arc with SEUS software
i rooted my arc with gingerbreak. no issues with pc companion et all. but i am getting random frequent reboots. anyone else facing this problem. the reboots happen all the time while making/receiveing calls, browzing etc.

same situation till yesterday when i decided to do a factory reset. now my arc is ok.
I managed to do a restore via seus so got that sorted!
I would recommend not to use gingerbreak, as I had loads of problems,
When opening camera I would just get a black screen, I would hav to reboot the device
My lock security option became disabled!!
And.... Pc companion wouldnt recognise my device!

SEUS.. go and download Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6.exe.
So if you ruin your system somehow you can actually restore it from the official SE software?
if thats the case I might actually pluck up the courage to mod mine >.<

I can live with having to reinstall apps. I'm just surprised it'll actually fix a bootloop. That's really good! So as long as it switches on, you can bugger the system all you want and SEUS can factory restore it? Epic
Hi Iceman,
I also own an Xperia Arc with the same build and firmware version as you have. I successfully unlocked the bootloader, but after attempting to root, I cannot get past the SE logo. I cannot connect to the flashing tool (version 0.2.9.1) and I cannot connect to PC companion.
What can you suggest to unbrick my phone?
Thanks, Tom

You need to give more info as to how u attempted to root?
Did u flash back to 2.3.2 and then update OTA? That would cause it to brick .. Look for the tutorial on how to unbrick the unlocked OTA updated phones in the forum..
If you are unlocked you can simply flash one of the rooted images..again check for the tutorial thread.. there are a couple i think..
Today I had flashed again my X10, but the rom that I downloaded was HTC rom.. :/
So, during flash by Xrecovery ocurred error and I rebooted X10. Now it show "Sony Ericsson" on boot screen and reboot ever.
I can only flash baseband, but another things I can't. Sony Ericsson PC Companion find the X10 but it reboot soon and it not upgrade, or downgrade.
When I turn on my phone and press back button to enter xrecovery mode it don't work, don't happens anything.
Can someone help me??
And sorry for the English, I'm brazilian and learning it... haha

You can still do a factory reset from seus.

Hi! I just got my xplay a month or two ago, and my last phone was a iphone. As such, stepping from the relatively easier to handle ios to android system's not exactly a piece of cake...
And I still have a couple questions despite lurking in this forums for a while...
1) im running 2.3.2 , rooted with gingerbreak. I heard there's an improvement in battery life.. so im quite tempted to update, but the thought of bloatware coming back kind of scares me.. ._.
So should I update?
2) is unlocked or locked bootloader better?
3) finally, will there be a final or complete version of cm7?
Also, would be great if anyone could explain what is an OTA and kernel...
Thanks!
1) its up to you, it is possible to upgrade with root as long as you have any model except a r800 x
2) I dont think either is better just depends on what you want to do to your phone
3) It depends what you mean by complete. There will probably be a stable version that is better than the stock rom eventually, but im not a dev
Ota means "over the air" and a kernel if im not mistaken is the part of the phone responsible for managing sysyem resources and the like. Not that I know much about anything and I could be wrong lol

This will be my second numbered answer today. Anyway:
1) What model do you have? I assume it's an r800i or r800a. If it is, I would head over to the development section and check out how to get the UK generic firmware on your phone without unlocking the boot loader. I did that, rooted it, then updated to 2.3.3 and removed a lot of bloat and it's good to go now.
2) I have unlocked the boot loader on every Android I've owned, but I haven't on this phone. I wouldn't until development takes off a little bit more. It will soon, but I probably won't even do it then, personally.
3) Yes, we have great people working on it. It's progressing majorly with each update.
Just next time search before posting...nah, I'm just kidding. Welcome to Android.

OTA means you are updating the firmware on your phone through your phone over wifi.
If you didn't remove the boats you can still do it by pressing the software update button on your phone. Just make sure that your bootloader is is still LOCKED.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
Thanks guys! I'll try to flash the firmware on my phone after I get home from school. my xplay is a r800i. Also, if I use the UK firmware and update to 2.3.3, will it affect my ability to update to 2.3.4 as I live in Singapore?
No, when 2.3.4 comes out it would probably be available to generic uk before any other versions. As long as you freeze and not remove boats, you would be able to ota update to 2.3.4

EDIT : googled around and now im trying to restore my phone via SEUS...
Ok.. my phone started up fine after running SEUS.. but I clicked restore to factory instead of update..
I want to try updating to 2.3.3 with root again.. So can anyone point out anything I did wrong the previous time?
1. I downloaded the generic UK version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119074) and flashtool 0.2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746)
2. I used flashtool and flashed the .tft file and followed the onscreen instructions...
3. the flashing stops halfway cause i didnt enable usb debugging (?) and it causes my phone to be unable to boot up and trauma for me for panicking for 30 minutes. ._.
I tried flashing again with USB debugging on..?
My version is now 2.3.3 after I restored with SEUS, however.

Man. That's crazy. I have no idea what to do. Hopefully you can get it.
When flashing, have you ticked the 'erase data' (I'm not sure it's the exact name) or are you flashing without erasing? Cus it looks like that's where the error occurs when it's supposed to flash the data?

Did you install the Sony software from your phone first?
Mine needed it to get the drivers. It said it had errors but I let it go for a while and it finished no problem.

Hi everyone, I recently tried to install a custom rom to my sony ericcson x10a running gingerbread 2.3.3. I sucessfully rooted my phone and installed busybox, but when I got to xrecovery, i couldnt install it. So I decided to flash my phone to 2.1. After a sucessful flash, I've been stuck at the Sony Ericsson boot screen. I tried using the Pc Companion but even if it does detect my phone, it gives me these instructions:
1. Drag the status bar downwards
2.Tab USB connected
3. Tap Mount
4. PC Companion will connect to the phone.
And without doing those instructions, it wont connect my phone and i cant do anything. Im like really new to all this and would really appreciated anyones input on my problem!
Thanks

There may be some options using latest flash tool. You can download it from one of the threads in the development section.
I am presuming you haven't used flash tool yet. That should also install xrecovery.

Maybe you missed some info when installing?
Or maybe tell the dev what's not working so he can fix in another build.

I installed it exactly as specified in the OP, and it's not even the right firmware version. it says that it's based on 32.0.A.6.200, but it installed 32.0.A.6.152 to my phone, or didn't actually install the system, despite Aroma completing successfully. What I've been left with is a non functional phone that I have no way of restoring back to stock, since ADB isn't working anymore so I can't use the flashtool to flash a stock FTF.
If i remember correctly that flashtool does need flash mode to flash ftf not adb.

the rom you flashed has a problem . as it was not tested, it only formats the partitions , but doesnt install the rom. so that rom , is your default rom , but fully wiped. to restore ,try open flashtool FIRST , and prepare your ftf , and when it tells you only , press the vol down and connect. it worked for me as i did the same

I am trying to connect in flashmode when prompted by Flashtool. I've used flashtool in the past with my Z3c, it's just not functioning as it's supposed to right now and I'm not sure why.

also you can connect to fastboot and flash a recovery if you dont have one
had similar problems, upgrade of twrp did the trick. everything is working perfectly now...
So has anybody installed this rom succesfully yet ?

I have working recovery and I have the necessary drivers for Z5, it's been recognized by flashtool in the past. Since unlocking my bl and flashing this rom, I have not been able to use it.
Try different pc or usb cables.
