hi there,
so today i got a way of unbricking my xperia arc s as it wads stuck on bootloader or u can say SONY logo
it does not charge no led blinking and even got no recovery installed and PC also does not detect the phone
so if anyone got the same problem
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
so at first u need to download flash tool and then download ur mobile official firmware any firmware u like.
NOTE: DOWNLOad the .ftf FORMAT FILE
after that copy that to the flashtool/firmwares folder
and then run the flashtool.
click on the shock type icon in flash tool it will give 2 modes select the first mode and click OK.
it will make u select the firmware and click on the firmware and leave the rest as it is and click ok
after that the firmware will be loaded then it will ask to connect phone.
NOTE: AT THIS STEP TAKE THE BATTERY OUT FOR 5SEC THEN INSERT IT AGAIN AFTER THAT CONNECT THE DATA CABLE TO PC AND THEN ''HOLD THE BACK KEY AND CONNECT THE CABLE TO PHONE A GREEN LED WILL BE SEEN ON PHONE"'
THEN IT WILL INSTALL THE DRIVER AND AFTER THAT THE FIRMWARE WILL BE FLASHED TO PHONE IT ALMOST TAKE 3-5MINUTES ALMOST AND THEN TURN ON THE PHONE AND THE XPERIA ARC S WILL BOOT TO THE MAIN SCREEN OF UR PHONE AND UR PHONE IS AGAIN WORKING NORMALLY :good:
SORRY IF MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD
LET ME KNOW IF U NEED ANY KIND OF HELP!

Hi! My name is Petar and i new here at xda-developers. First of all I am not a developer and I do not have knowledge as much as you guys. I am here to ask for help. I have very very very BIG problem with my phone. It is Sony Xperia Miro. The phone is not expensive, but it is very very important to me. The phone was working perfectly untill i flashed cyanogen mod 10 JB mesina (i found mesina is the name for xperia miro). I know that Miro doesnt support JB officialy, but i found a video on You-Tube about un-official JB on Xperia Miro. Here is what i did:
-Rooted and unlocked bootloader using UnLock Root program (I verified the root with RootChecker app).
-Installed Clockwork mode.
-made a backup (nandroid).
-delete and wipe all data with clockwork.
-flash new rom ( Cyanogen mod 10 JB Mesina).
-after flashing completed 100%, the phone turned off ( the phone was fully 100% charged before doing all this).
-I tried to turn on the phone but i only get a single vibration (No led, No screen working, No sound).
-I tried to connect the phone to PC and restore original ICS using Sony PC Companion, but my PC doesnt detect my phone because unlocked bootloader.
-So i put the phone on charge for 6 days.
-Yesterday i took the phone off the charge and pushed it on. The phone didnt turn on, but i didnt even get a vibration only now i get is blinking RED LIGHT at top of the phone.
-I contacted you !
I read thousands of posts here on xda and everywhere on Google about fixing this. But I only found tutorials and fixes for other Xperias ( Z, S, J etc.), but not for my cheap miro ... Please guys i need to fix my phone really soon, please in name of the LORD , help me.. Thank you ):
you downloaded mesona cm10 zip file right? there is one boot.img file inside it, try to flash it first(using flashtool..search how to)
put cm10 for mesona on your sd card and after flashing boot.img go to recovery and flash the rom.
in case your pc does not detect your phone you should try on some other pc.
red led means your phone is not dead yet.
please step by step

how to sony xperia c3 dual rooting ? plz answer .
looking "guide root xperia c3" through the search http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-c/general/guide-root-sony-xperia-c3-dual-d2502-t2973589
Hi i just followed all your methods and rooted successfully but the only problem is the SONY logo is distorted and shown at down below the screen.
This makes it hard for me since I'm a shop owner and had to sell it to customers. (They won't buy a phone which logo is distorted and not original. )
Can someone point me to where I could restore the original boot.img (i think this will fix it.)

Hi All,
I tried to update the system software to Lollipop via PC today. in the middle of the update an error occurred saying internet connection was not available (in fact there was no problem with the internet connection). i followed the instruction to re-connect the phone to the PC via the USB cable. now the phone stucks at the Sony Xperia bootup screen and when i connected my phone to PC via the Sony PC Companion, it only detects my phone as "Sony/Sony Ericsson/Tablet" and not Sony Z3 (D6653) anymore.
Anyone knows how to resolve the issue? best if i can continue to update to lollipop, or if not restoring to the old setting would be great too.
Thanks Guys
Cheers

This is a soft brick, now u can download latest lollipop firmware & flash firmware with flashtool.
How to do check this..
xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/83-sony-xperia-z3-d6653
After flashing reboot & u will see z3 with lollipop.
thank you, [email protected]! May i also ask if there are any country-specific firmware for Z3?
i am residing in Hong Kong, i checked the link you provided below and there is only one firmware for download D6653_23.2.A.1.62_HK.ftf, is this one version for all Z3 around the world?

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
