Arc died after 2.3.3 update

---

Hey folks, my Arc came up today saying that there was an update to the latest software 2.3.3 so I thought why not ill let it go through and update my Arc (wish I hadnt now) :*(

The update downloaded and then went through the update process next thing you know the phone now refuses to boot, charge or anything else.

I can put the phone into flash mode but unfortunatley I cant use SEUS as the bootloader has been unlocked and the phone was rooted.

Any idea how I can flash the generic lt15 rom I have downloaded? any help will be greatly appreciated as it feels like my right arm has been removed (I might add im right handed)

Thanks in advance for any responses.

download flash tool whihc can be found in the xperia x10 development section, and download the generic uk rom or world rom whichever one you prefer which can be found in my thread in the development section

Are there any instructions for the flash tool?

Thanks.

Don't worry. As the other user have said this, you can download flashtool and flash Generic UK. It fixes the problem most of the time.

Good Luck.

Dont worry I just found them

Right just flassed the bad boy but still refusing to boot, one thing to mention is that the notification led flashes whilst holding the power button

It was doing this before the flash.

Any ideas?

so the flash was successful right?, it usually takes a bit of time to boot up, if it doesnt work, then flash the carrier firmware, and call them up and get it replaced

The flash went though and the flashtool said to unplug and reboot but no dice.

Unfortunatley I didnt get the Arc from my carrier I bought it separatley so I cant return it

ANyone have any ideas? this things driving me nuts.

When you said refused to boot. You mean you don't even see the sony ericsson or the logo? Have you tried removing the battery and flash it again?
