A friend bought an xperia arc s (l18i) and started having issues with it that same week.
Had it flashed that and everything seems to work fine, but then he had to bring it on a daily biases (have flashed to stock 3 times).
The final flash just does not go through and the phone is stuck in flashmode.

Some various symptoms that called for a flash to stock.
1. AndroidUI FC often making it impossible to use the phone (in stock)
2. Black screen at times and won't turn on
3. Stuck on "Sony Ericsson" Boot screen (the initial problem)

Now the phone is stuck in flash mode and cannot even enter into fastboot and also i am on ulocked bootloader, relock gives the same error log below
Nothing happens even when i press the power button

Using flashtool had the error log below

Try excluding TA from being flashed.
Which file are you trying to flash by the way?
