HELP - My XPERIA went dead during update 2.3.4 - Xperia Arc General

Hello guys.
My xperia arc went dead during update.
I tried unpluging it and leave it for 30 min, and when i press the power button, nothing happens, no light, no vibration, no connection to the PC. Literally DEAD.
I already tried Flashtool as some of the guys suggested, but no luck.
My phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked...
Please help

Have you updated using seus or pc companion or ota? If so then thats why. You need to lock your bootloader and reflash using seus pc companion or easier way is to use flashtool.

I updated through my mobile wifi. I tried flashtool, still no use. The PC doesnt detect my device. ANy suggestions???
How can i lock the bootloader if nothing is appearning / happening to my device?

Install SEUS, run it, and follow the instructions, if it says you're upto date run it anyway.

It needs to be off to put it into flash mode, as stated when you run SEUS.
If you are using firmware from your phone retailer you can Download PC companion on Sonyericssion website, install it on your computer, click update on Pc Companion then you see the hyperlink "click if your phone has problem" or something like that, click to repair your phone than follow the instruction. However, if you using firmware from internet such as nordic, global, you have to download firmware in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 then reflash your phone. to reflash your phone. download firmware, extract to your computer, run flash.batch then follow the instruction. then connect your phone on flash mode by connect cable to pc, hold back button and connect cable to your phone, press any key on your computer then press back button, after everything done you can restart

No you dont, seus or PCC will reflash whatever fw you're using back on the phone.

No that's not. in this case PCC will give you a message that your phone already have latest version, and you can't repair it

FlashTool caught my x8!

Hello friends,
I'm new to android, and tried to install app2sd, but the attempt was not recognized sdcard.
After that I was somehow trying to fix it using FlashTool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746), but after I used the "Optimize" the program and then restarted the phone is still only in the text "Sony Ericsson".
I've tried reset, hard reset, remove battery, but nothing worked until now.
Has anyone experienced this? Or know how to solve? Therefore only used the phone for 2 days and managed to catch it!
PS: Sorry if anything in the text does not make sense because I used the google translator to communicate.
Thanks!
use SEUS or pc companion to repair
I've tried using the PC companion and I returned that has no update to be done.
I used adb logcat and found that the boot goes in a loop whenever he gets in this command:
D/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 4911): setVoiceVolume(1.000000)
With that you know what I should do?

Man, I've downloaded this file, says that when I install the software already installed is the latest.
When I turn on the phone, no button works to turn off it, only removing the battery.
use SEUS, it will repair ur phone in off state..

anyway you can reinstall firmware.
1. Take phone battery off.
2. Connect USB to computer, than to phone.
3. Press and HOLD back button
4. Insert the battery
5. Let go the back button (release)

[Q] Xperia Play wont boot after update to 2.3.3 from 2.3.2 Sony over Wifi Help

Hello Guys
I have a UK Sony Xperia Play which was rooted- using the rooted 2.3.3 kernel Originally and was updated by sony from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 which worked ok before I rooted the device.
I then decided to use another members rooted firmware which worked - Please see here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145729
I wanted to reflash to with 2.3.2 which worked then I did a sony update again over wifi and after that I could not boot the phone at all it just vibrates nothing happens - no boot logo- I have reset the phone by taking the battery out and it is fully charged and it does work in flash mode but when I try to reflash the rom again it using flash-tool and stock firmware the software says it has been done but does not boot. Any thoughts on why this is.The Bootloader has been unlocked previous to root
Thanks
Mark
You've unlocked your bootloader AND updated Over The Air?

Be careful what ever you do because you can destroy your radio if you use the wrong fix.
I have not had your problem but I believe there is a fix binary made as long as you have done nothing to the phone since you bricked it
Edit: /\ lol a little slow I guess /\

Hi
I had the same problem with my xperia play (R8000i), after upload over wifi, my xperia play doesn´t work. i can´t do the fastboot neather the battery charge.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
Someone here already have the solution for that?
Thanks
I have the exact same issue, what's the fix?
EDIT: OK, rather than start a brand new thread I thought I'd just reply here.
Basically, I unlocked and bootloader of my phone and rooted it ages ago, and totally forgot the dire warnings about OTA updates. I spotted someone on here mention that they'd installed an OTA update on a rooted phone and decided to do it, as I've noticed that my Play is really buggy of late.
Of course, this has bricked my phone. When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I've tried plugging the phone into the PC in recovery mode (holding down back, green light comes on) but my PC says I need an S1boot Download driver (which I swear to god I already have, I think I needed it to unlock the bootloader in the first place!). I've followed all instructions, downloaded the drivers and pointed the installer in the right location but I keep getting a message that says the hardware cannot be installed.
I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Can anyone help a foolish soul?
S1Boot Download issue solved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17497338#post17497338
OK already have this driver installed and can use the FlashTool normally, but the Xperia play does not start, and I can not put them in the way fastboot mode.
When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I have used the PC Companion and Update Service did not work
Does anyone have a solution?
You need to wait for the prompt to connect your phone in Flashtool. When prompted, you have to hold down the 'back' button when you plug in the USB cable. The power light should go green to indicate the phone is in fastboot mode.
Had already done this process.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
You need to flash the special unbrick tft, it's on the forums somewhere
Fastboot = BLUE light (search button+usb). Used to flash/boot with fastboot commands from a cmd window on a pc/laptop and such.
Flash mode = GREEN light (back button+usb). Used when flashing with flashtool.

What you are trying to do with flashtool which has given you error?
Thanks
Hi,
Are u using repair option? It shouldn't show any info about software version during repair.
If it recognizing your phone it should still be possible to fix it.

Hi, did you use flash mode to connect (Power off phone(Or best remove battery for 5 seconds and put it back) then connect your X10 USB port but not to connect PC first. Then press "Back button" and connect it to PC while pressing it) And seeing you using 2.1Generic ftf to flash. Why don't you try flash 2.3.3Firmware FTF and see whether got any changes? Hope helps.
