Arc S rooted,flashed rom now bricked :( - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, newbie so go easy on me please!
Ive recently rooted my LT18i Arc S and tried to flash a different rom today. All seemed to be going well but phone now gets stuck booting up. I have an unlocked bootloader and the phone is just stuck on the 'SONY' logo.
Ive tried plugging the usb lead in but it doesnt get recognised by my pc and when i tried sony update service i get the message saying 'cant be updated due to modified software'
Please somebody help!!!
Cheers
Neil.

Hello
Download a .ftf package for your device ( find in Arc S section here on xda)
Download and install android SDK ( google it)
Download and install Flashtool ( find here)
then after installing......
Open up flashtool directory in c:/ drive and in the folder firmwares put the .ftf you downloaded.
Then open flashtool, press on the chalk, select flashmode, chooose the firmware you downloaded, start the proces ( your phone must be shutted down first) and then press the back button and follow the instructions
Let it do the work and voila thats it
For more help pm me

[Q] Help! Xrecovery menu Xperia x10

i just cant get into the recovery menu. what am i doing wrong?
I just bought my x10i firmware 2.1-update1
2.0.A.0.504.
i Rooted my phone using the new superoneclick.
installed busybox succesfully
installed xrecovery succesfully.
tried 100 times pressinf the back button 3 times on the SE LOGO.
But it freezes on the logo screen or it just boots up the phone.
I even tried the method to install the 3 files into the bin file.
But after this its the same,
sorry for my english and hope you guys understand.
Please help me!

totally ****er bull****.
The 1 u posted is X10 mini. I din c before i run it. Now my hp cant boot up anymore.
What do you mean HP?
the title says X10? Why would you try it on a HP?
Geeks, please help us
Same prob
Now we know for sure, that xRecovery is dangerous if we don't know how to handle it
i havent met any problem entering the xrecovery menu even when i first installed it even though i was a complete noob on android (now i am just noob)
only thing i was doing is that i never pressed the back button only 3 times, i always keep pressing it until i get the xrecovery menu
Yes, keep pressing the back button until you enter the XRecovery menu.
If it still fails then I would revert my phone to the STOCK SE ROM (basically means repairing your phone using Sony Ericsson's PC Companion or Update Service utility), and then use FlashTool to root the device and install Busy Box and XRecovery.
FlashTool is basically an all in one solution and is less painful to use for beginners. Just do a search for it in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Htc One S - Bootloop (no access recovery+adb not working(

Hello guys! I searched a lot before posting it here,but I'm very fearing a soft-hard brick..
I explain: I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 M7 (Htc One S, not version C2), and today I got an auto reboot. Now, I'm stuck in bootloop, without the power to enter bootloader or recovery with phone buttons. I tried adb and fastboot, but obviously the second can't run, the first can't run because pc can't install htc one s drivers. I tried to install them by my self (found here, in htc one s section) but adb still doesn't recognize my smarthphone.
What can I do? Please, I'm desperate.
Thanks a lot for every help You can give me and sorry if I choose the wrong section!

did you try xperia flashtool yet you can flash the firmware from the program, but first you need xperifirm to download the necessary firmware for your device model, then create a bundle from xperia flashtool, finally flash the created firmware via flashmode.

Emma should work, it's for UB devices
Edit: if it doesn't, use Flashtool as aforementioned
When I do the volume down for flashing mode emma dont read the phone, something with a another version ?

Official tools (emma, xperia companion) are useless once bootloader is unlocked
I've been able to fix similar issue using newflasher (even though Xperia 5 is not officially supported):
- download firmware for your device model using xperifirm
- remove all .ta files (incl. those in subfolders)
- extract newflasher files to the same directory where firmware files are stored (appslog_X-FLASH-ALL-A2CD.sin, bluetooth_X-FLASH-ALL-A2CD.sin, .... newflasher.exe ... )
- connect device in flash mode - turn it off (in case of boot loops press and hold combo "volume up" + "power button" and wait till phone vibrates 3 times), after that press and hold "volume down" and connect phone to the PC (once led became green you can release "volume down" button)
- verify there's no driver issue in Device Manager
- run newflasher.exe, answer n (no) to all questions
- wait for "End. You can disconnect your device when you close newflasher", press enter and unplug your phone
