I have the same problem
Could you please tell me how to find the "steps"?

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..

Hello everyone!!
I want if anyone can help me to unbrick xperia x8!!
My phone stucked in SE logo...
I m trying with this flash tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
i need firmwares of x8.. 2.1 or 1.6
.ftf extension files..
i downloaded them, but they are in .zip file ..
most of them extensions are .sin .
So i need an .ftf file, which is 2.1 or 1.6 ..
where i can find them? or creating them by those i dowloaded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875688
Anyone can help???????
repair it through PCCompanion, if it doesn't recognize your phone, unplug the phone from PC click repair in PCC and follow the instruction, don't worry u don't need to do all that things
Your phone is not bricked just stuck in boot loop.
Just repair your phone using SEUS
google it if you don't know what it is.
Flash tool needs .sin files only unless I am mistaken( I have an old version of flash tool)
And post these questions in general forum next time.
Sent from my X8
the phone its my girlfriend.. and she freaked out!
i made an .ftf file similar to x10, but with x8 files..
and i m curently trying to flash the firmware with the flashtool of b1nary..
i think the process stucked btw..
i will wait a bit more.
i cant do it with pc companion because the phone has to be turned on before seet it to bootloader ..
SEUS can do this?
EDIT: the phone now after the SE logo, has a warning triangle and a phone next to it.. :S :S
Do it with SEUS - Sony Ericsson Update Service. You turn on the program, choose your device, download OS (automatic) and then it asks you to flash your device, so there's no need of turning it on whatsoever
many thanks, all of you guys.. i m just a noob..
PC Companion didn't let me..
But SEUS did it!! The phone started okay!!!
I thought the SEUS was the same with PC companion..
Many many thanks
mods, erase the whole thread if you like, but please put in a little corner, of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921652
that if we stuck on SE logo, just use SEUS instead of PC companion!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938751
Pc companion can fix it with the repair option (somebody already told it). I had the same problem and that was how i fix it.
Sorry for saying this but the are 3-4 topics with exactly the same question in the general of x8.
Search a little and the post. You will find an answer faster too this way.
Yours, GreatApo

If you already download the Official Firmware in .sin format, use flashtool.
click advanced, and choose bundle creation. choose the folder where the .sin files are located, then click ok, then move the files from left box to the right one, then fill the box in the upper right, the value is up to you,then click ok.
then flash it.
done.
boot the phone, wait
please help, my x8 wont boot only black screen.
ive just downgrade my firmware using flash toll 3.0 now it wont boot.\

Download some room,move to sd card,turn on the phone,enter to recovery,to full wipe and install custom zip

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)

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

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!
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

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.

Thanks for the reply, I couldn't find anything on the latest flashtool, i think something is wrong with my loader on the phone. But it wont let me flash a new one, i go into flash mode when it asks me and then it magically disconnects and aborts the flash. Is there any other option for me?
Thanks m8
EDIT: My bad for not reading the thread title properly.
Anyways, what were you trying to flash? Can you give us the log of the flashing process?

After rebooting it stocked on Sony logo, now I can do anything more, It turn on it selfs, I cant shut down. The pc doesnt recognize it so cant flash other one which works...
Is there any other solution please help me. After couples of times trying to connect with PC, I have took of the battery and then none signal from the phone (Before it start it self). But when I try to turn it to recovery mode or connect with pc again the same problem, vibrate and stocked on Sony Logo.
Please anyone help. Will pay for it.
Just re flash some firmware through PC? I assume you've tried flash tool and that you're not using something else? Short if that there is also a Sony recovery program you could try...
Use Flashtool to recover.
ROMs are not for rooting, my friend. You also need to have custom kernel (for some of the ROMs), if you wish to install custom firmware/ROM.
You can use SEUS to flash the latest firmware to your phone provided you did not unlock bootloader. You can relock the bootloader if you have unlocked it earlier though...

I have flashed with the official from sony, and now it works. I will wait for some ultimate update to add that rom
Locked or unlocked boot loader?
