Hi there.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason de device stopped syncing my Gapps data. OEM 2.1 ROM. I did a backup and reset the device to factory defaults. Even if battery went to 100% and the USB cable were connected, the phone did not finished the process and now I have a non turning on mini pro. Mac does not feel it, neither Windoze or Linux with dmesg. PC Companion won´t see it neither. Neither FlashTool. I tried to flash it with the original ftf but the phone do not turn on and of course FlashTool won't see it. Tried pressing home and on/off but nothing. I searched like a dork for "bricked xperia x10 mini pro" but there´s a lot of crowd calling a semi-bricked, bricked. Which is not, because a semi-bricked can be repaired with SEUS or even FlashTool.
I know is a whole different animal, but once I bricked a Nokia and with some trickery the device came to life.
Guys, you`re my only hope. I really like this phone for texting and everything.
Thank you for reading. Best regards.
Bump!
Please help me out! At least tell me anything.
Thanks.

What do you mean?
When PC Campanion says "hold back key and connect phone to USB" then It detects the device.
I have bricked SE Xperia X10 mini pro, same simptoms phone doesn't react to anything it's absolutely silent, no image, no text.
And yes I tried SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool (with ggsetup) and Omnius. Nothing hepled.
May be a battery is down but I can't check it as well.
Same here. The phone doesn't react to "off" button, No LEDs, no display, no sound, won't get recognized by Flashtool when USB plugged in with "back" held, a total, real brick, dark and dead and invisible to all software.
The battery was full - it was full when the phone got bricked by installing a kernel for ICS.

I have the same problem please help:crying:
When you put the tick called "preloader" in Flashtools - then the phone is dead... now only jtag method may can help you(in some phone service)
I remember that one morning I found my Xperia Arc S with stock GB 2.3.4 rom like dead although it was fine when I plugged the charger in before I slept. In the morning I couldn't turn it on, removing and replacing battery did nothing. No light when I charged it. It was really looking like it was forever dead. After a few days, in despair, I tried every reset method I could find about Xperia phones, except the one that finally worked:
I holded the back or menu button (I forgot which one) then plugged in the USB cordon to the computer. I got a green or blue light! I learned later that it was Fastboot mode or Flash mode. Then I unplugged the device, and it started like if nothing happened. I only had this problem once again. Since I rooted it and installed a custom rom, I never had this issue again.
If you didn't try this yet, that is worth trying

Because my PC won't recognize my Phone. (I had the SEMC USB drivers installed already)
Please help!!! Thank you

Hi guys. New to this forum
So I have a few issues regarding my arc:
1. Camera not working, after I launch camera app, it turns black without responding so I have to reboot the phone.
2. The Home button does not work, only works to unlock the phone when it's locked(not in use). But I can not use it to get home to "desktop" when I'm using an app, I have to use the "back" button.
3. Plugging the arc to the PC does not work at all neither, the "popup" in the phone does not show up when i plug it in the PC, it only starts to charge the phone. At the computer, it fails to install the MTP USB driver.
All this happened when I reset the phone to factory defaults and formatted everything. The phone started up fine, like a new phone but those 3 problems showed up. It is probably because the phone was rooted when I reset to factory defaults.
What is my next step? Possible to recover to the original OS? I have not taken any backups(silly me) before I did anything neither.
Thanks in advance!
Had the same problem, I flashed the phone, using LT15i_4.0.1.A.0.283_Generic Global. Everything is working properly now. Hope that helps.

How was this done? Do I need to connect the phone to the computer? If so, it will be a issue because I can not connect it to my computer anymore.
Can anyone give me link to the flash tool that works on my arc?
I Have the same problem. Please, someone help me...
Just reflash firmware with SEUS
I seriously can't find SEUS anywhere to my phone. And will it be possible to flash it because I can't connect the phone to my computer without issues.
What happens in device manager when you click "back" with turned off phone and connect cable?
nothing happens on my phone, but I can't turn the phone on if I do it that way, I have to replug the charger to be able to turn it on. On my computer it said it failed to install the driver.
It's quite of an emergency atm. I can't recieve calls anymore, the phone hangs up on people when they call me automatically, but I can call them without a problem. I can see in my call log if anyone has tried to call me aswell.
Need some more help guys
Super thanks in advance.
Problem solved! The ones who still have this problem follow this guide :
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
don't download the firmware that is on that guide but use this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VS2D704A
Worked perfectly!
Flashing with SEUS would have done exactly the same thing

Really? Can you link it to me? According to the SE website, SEUS does not exist to xperia arc.
SE PC Companion could not find my arc when I plugged it into my PC, but flashtool did. So I guess SEUS would'nt detect my phone neither.
Lol flashed my girlfriends arc with seus last night, go to se site pick any phone model w995 etc and software downloads then download seus. When the program opens select arc and follow instructions. Either that or use flashtool and just flash new firmware it does the same

Would SEUS find my phone when the Companion doesnt anyway?
It should do as for PC companion you have your phone turned on and SEUS/flashtool etc you turn your phone off
My phone bricked after OTA. I checked all tutorials but whenever i try to flash ftf files, flashtool is keeping to say open debugging.
Before trying flashtool i flashed it several times with wotanserver.
Please help me.
Did you try to repair it using PC Companion?
This will do a clean flash with a complete original Image.
Thanks for your help i fixed it with flashtool
USB Connection constantly up and down
Hi guys,
I made an OTA update to my xperia Ray ST18 because the guy that sold me the phone didn't warn me it has been unlocked. Now it's dead!
I'm really desperate.
I tried Sony Update Tool to try to flash the new ROM. It detects the phone and says it has flashed OK. Then I disconnect the cable and try to turn on the phone but it doesn't start.
The only response I get when I try to restart the phone is a short vibration but the phone still doesn't start.
I don't know if it's normal but when I put the phone to charge there's no light turning on. Is it normal?
I'm also trying to flash with Flashtool but the phone now keeps loosing USB connection.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Normaly is Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) the best Way
to repair your Phone.
If the Phone loos USB-Connection, check USB (ADB+SDK) Driver
or install new.
Maybe a other Way is "S1tool" it´s a small and crippled subset of SETOOL2 service tool.
Install it, all USB Driver inside.
Shut down your Virusprogram an startet it.
Press the Restore Button in S1
Bring Phone in Fastboot
(Loudness Button UP and USB Connect, you see blue Light on the Home Button)
Wait arround 5 Second..... Finsh
I had the same Problem about flash on my Ray.
The Phone was dead, only the Vibration works on started.
If i press the Start-Botton again, the Home-Botton-Light flash,
that´s was all.
New flashing with SEUS brought no success
S1 is also a good Tool for easy "unblock Bootloader in 10 Second"
And the CyanogenMod 7.20
(original update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-urushi-signed)
ist the best Firmware for the Ray.
Absolut fast, so overclocking ca do.
My Ray works with 1,6 GHz without Probs.
All what you need find it here:

FOR THE FUTURE, NO OTA UPDATE IF BOOTLOADER IS OPEN - THE FIRMWARE IS THEN BLOCKED FOR OTA
Greeting Onex1
Don't know if anyone can help me in my situation but I have a major problem arising from an OTA update too, my phone just refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating OTA my phone bricked!
So, I searched high and low for a solution and ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this.. Hard resets, updating with Sony Update Service but nothing works. There's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage. I have a perfectly good phone in that everything works bar the SIM and I'd hate to have to buy another one!
Any suggestions anyone or is my phone screwed for good? :/
Hello there!
so here's the deal. I was getting a phone of my sister, a Xperia Miro ST23i, she decided to factory reset it, halfway through the format process it was taking a while so she decided to take the battery out "wasn't a good idea" and now it won't power on, shows no sign of life.
i've tried getting it into flashmode to use with flash tool but no success, pc companion doesn't bring up the phone and neither does Sony Update Service, it said "unknown device" in device manager until i installed Gordons Gates, now it says "ZEUS flash device" i've searched Google and xda but found nothing, also shows no sign of it charging now when i plug it in.
So now i'm completely stuck and would appreciate any help someone has to offer

Your phone is hard bricked. Sony will replace it if under guarantee.
Reflash sony stock FW or the one from your operator, relock bootloader and try to send it to guarantee repair.
I can't reflash becouse i said only my pc recognizes in device manager unknown device can't use flashtools pc companion or sus becouse they don't detect my phone. So i think i going to send to repair :/

Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this issue has been solved, but I was kinda clumsy when i tried to install superSU.zip via twrp (I have TWRP 3.0.2-0)and my Z3 still turns on but wont go to the home screen. I tried downloading the stock firmware and used flashtool but I can't get my phone to flashmode via volume down and plugging it. When I plug it on my laptop (windows 10) while holding any button it shows me the sony logo and nothing happens, no lights. so I turn off the device via the emergency button and holding it down for a few seconds. Good thing is im still able to go to TWRP via turning the phone on and waiting for the purple LED and pressing the volume up and down.
I tried looking for a back up file for my Z3 d6603 and planning to put it on my SD card and restore via TWRP. is my phone really dead? I'm not losing hope yet since i can still charge my phone (i dont see the battery icon though) but it charged from 70 to 83 while plugged in without the red LED and the battery logo.
Can someone please help me with this dilemma? I cant find the right keywords for this problem using google. any help will be much appreciated guys!
