So, I also managed to brick my phone with the latest OTA
I have Xperia Arc with unlocked bootloader, unlocked by the official instructions on SE site. Phone is also rooted.
After downloading and installing the OTA, it just went black and cannot be turned on anymore.
I have green light, when I connect it to a computer, but when I try to flash it with flashtool, I get this:
Unknown sources and USB debugging were turned on before I bricked it.
Any ideas, what to do next?
Maybe I have wrong drivers? I installed "Android Bootloader Interface" from under the "Xperia_2011_devices_fastboot_drivers" directory from the Flashtool0.5.0b package.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Thanks for any help!
EDIT:
Got it working.
I had incorrect drivers, so anyone with the similar error in Flashtool, check, if you have the correct drivers installed.
First I uninstalled the device from device manager, then I installed the Sony Ericsson Update Service:
(http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1317636927/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe), and reconnected my phone- it was immediately recognized and then the Flashtool succeeded and unbricked my phone!
