Try helping yourself by giving the details of what you've actually tried to install.
Answer
i do all of the levels step by step and correct , but i steel have problem , first use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for flash the cfw kernel and then install the rom from recovery after full wipe , it's compelete but touchscreen not work
ur not giving too much info so its kinda hard to help
BUT i think ur in the recovery and saying touchscreen doesnt work...... can u boot into ur rom using your hard keys?
what rom did u try and install?
Answer
no no , it's possible i'm not in recovery , i say my phone is loaded and up and is in the rom lock screen , yes hardware keys are work corectly , the sound(speaker) is working too because i can dial to my phone but i cant answer the call and i cant unlock touchscreen because touchscreen not work,i try many cfw roms like miui , blend miui , cm fx045,046 and etc , but i still have this problem (touchscreen not work), only the roms are based on official rom work on my phone like se tweaks. my rom version is 0.42 , baseband 56
Try reflash your rom and kernel.

I suspect you're not reading the instructions properly, so pick 1, READ EVERY WORD of the installation instructions, then read them again at every step of the process.
Answer
i'v do it step by step and correct, it's useless , i'v do all of instructions in this site and some other sites , but still have touchscreen problem
You maybe doing all steps.....but you missed something.
If stock working, and any other custom roms dont working, then you missed something.
Not correct firmware, wipe, kernel or etc...

just so u know its probably a kernal issue. ur probably not flashing the appropriate Kernal for the roms ur installing
Answer
What can i do? please help me, i try all of the ways i know and other's say to me ,,but it's useless and i'v still this problem (touchscreen not work)
I do not know if it helps, but my self I also observed problems with Touch!
It is mainly on the border of the screen especially on the bottom.
It seems that the calibration of the touch is shifted a bit!
I have a LT 18i and opened bootloader and rooted. I use the SAOSIN-MIUI with Doomlord-Kernel for MIUI.
In the Thread for that MIUI also others mentioned problems with touch.
So the problem is maybe real.
It would be usefull to have a tool to "calibrate" the touch...
I'll leave the custom rom stuff to you experts here but what you can try is to use Update Service to flash the phone with official software and then try all over again.
Install Update Service,
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1317636927/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe
It might be that the program will tell you that the current software is detected as unofficial and that Update Service for this reason will not be able to proceed - but no harm in trying.
Just doing independent research
From 1:10 wonder has boot loop problem
Although you already do flashing well
No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
And in next day it restart and only showing samsung logo...
In this situation you can't get to recovery
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
Maybe I8150ZSKI3 Android 2.3.6 (ASIA) can helped, all component to do hard reset is in this firmware

Sorry, I can't help, but in my flashing thread, it has also been reported. But I think it happens more often on phones with asian firmwares. I had one report in the german forum too, but I am not sure if it was an "asian" version.
I think if something happens while the firmware update with an asian firmware, it might end up in a bootloop. I am not sure, but I think it makes also the partitioning of the storage, isn't ?
It would be good if we could get a "gettogether" in this thread and have all the reports of the soft-/hardbricked SGWs. So we can analyse and maybe find out the reason or atleast narrow down the issue.
I would like to know:
1. Did you have a custom rom before the flash ?
2. Was your phone rooted ?
3. Did you make the internal/external swap ?
4. Did ODIN say PASS before you disconnected(before the bootloop happend) ?
5. Any other fancy modifications you have done and what we should know ;-D ?

My team already try for asian rom that you provide in your tread and the new version of stock rom. it didn't do full wipe just normal flash like the others
Only stock rom & rooted bro...
PASS but the phone not turn on -_-"
No swap partitions
Just regular phone for daily use
If we can found the stock rom with wipe and bootloader still can be fixed
Hopefully it can be fixed without go to samsung -_-
All of us must aware for this issue bro..

I have edited my thread, it makes people now more alert about the risk of bricking.
Maybe it is more secure always wiping everything using ClockWorkMod:
Using this course of action:
1. Backup everything manually what you can!
2. Flash via ODIN ClockWorkMod Recovery on your device(english). Scroll down to other and select ClockWorkMod.
3. Once ClockWorkMod is flashed, go to the recovery:
a) backup and restore -> backup to external sdcard
b) backup and restore -> restore from external sdcard
This is to make sure the files aren't corrupted, if this is successful you can be sure everything is backupped. If you get a MD5 mismatch something went wrong. Try again!
c) wipe data/factory reset -> confirm
d) wipe cache partition -> confirm
e) mounts and storage -> format system -> confirm
f) mounts and storage -> format cache -> confirm
g) mounts and storage -> format data -> confirm
4. You restart your phone in Download Mode and flash a firmware using this instruction, which is provided in the thread under Firmwares.
5. Now you will have to flash again the ClockWorkMod recovery to restore your data.
Than open ClockWorkMod Recovery and:
backup and restore-> advanced restore from external sdcard -> select the backup -> Restore data -> confirm.
Now if you want the stock recovery back(needed for OTA updates) instood of ClockWorkMod, than go to the Others or Sonstiges and select the stock recovery, and flash it on your device.
6. Now you should have a fresh device like you have never flashed before!!!
Oh yeah, the reason why you have to make these complicated steps: Because you were flashing all different kinds of firmwares, you system will be a mess. To make sure your device is not a overwritten old firmware these steps are necessary.
Flashing via ODIN does not delete all old data !!!
I have to say also: I have flashed all the ROM's successfully before posting them in my thread about flashing.

Yes he already inform this...
But the question why just only him that get boot lop, this is kind a strange because another user didn't face the problem like this
His problem happened after applying V6 SC
I know that V6 SC update 9 RC6 have a change for boot lop, because for applying 100% must integrated built.prop
So many friend of my use V6 SC update 9 RC4 that more stable for our phone
Actually there is nothing different if we flash with nandroid and update.zip
The script doing same thing except for the user data
nandroid use md5 for more safety flashing
Like i wrote before..
Before this happen the phone always do restart it self
I hope there is any progress for prevent and fix this issue
The user that have this problem, now must go to Samsung to fix it before we know how to fix it
Regards
I'd like to say this sudden restart happen to me quite often while in stock rom, but after I flash custom rom this phenomenon never happen again. This phenomena only happen while I'm on stock rom.

Update for this..
My friend reported..
For my country, we get FULL WARRANTY for this case
and waiting this status until fixed about 2 days
For the first phase they do regular Flashing with STOCK ROM based on country
then it still cannot on (we know already -_-)
We didn't sure yet is the phone will be change with the new one or not because this had implication from hardware issue..
Come back latter..

And my friend want me to re write black notes chapter 3
It will come next week

A little late in reading this post but I also bought my Galaxy W from Ebay. Samsung user agreement states that the phone is guaranteed for 2 years after the date of sale and the agreement is transferable between owners. In other words it doesn't matter who originally bought it but is guaranteed for 2 years and our phone is still less than 2 years old. I know this as had to send mine back and they accepted it.
Hello everyone,
im new in this forum, and two devices with android, the first is the "asus transformer prime" and the second is a new cellphone - Sony Xperia Arc S - and this is the problem.
I really dont like what sony do the android, the interface, beside iam very familiar with standart ICS in my "Prime" so i search a bit and found some posts about Cyanogen 9 (talking about performance ans stuff), but in that same posts i read that CM9 is only for "Xperia Arc" not "xperia arc S" and i need to use some external "kernell" to be loaded.
My questions are:
What i need to do to install CM9 at "arc s"?
What the procedures?
I need a external "kernel" or just extract the zip (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip) and get the *.img ?
What is the easyest method to install it?
Can send me a easy guide to do it?
and finally. it will work in portugal? with the operator TMN?
Can someone post the link for one guide to do the install, that actually works?:fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance for the answers
If i can make a clean and smooth install, for sure i will donate
(sorry my english)
p.s- i know they are a lot of posts about this, but is because that i cant find my way through they.
Install instructions:
1. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
2. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
3. Wipe (only required 1st time)
4. Flash Rom
5. OK！！

preferable the most stable version, i know they are a lot of them but cant choose because i don't have any experience on it.
Im thinking is use one of this two, whats better?
1 - this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520654) with this room (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717)
or
2 - this kernel (FXP128, by FreeXperiaProject) (come people say works fine) whit this room ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu&type=) cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip
please advice,,
Thanks everyone
Hi all!
Hi!
to flash the kernel you'll need to do it via Fastboot. There are some guides in this section to help you get CWM recovery easily, but if you're a noob like me I'd give try to Flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012).
It's a little program that helps you out flashing kernels, roms and some other joyful gift from xda...
Try it out and let me know!
For the ROM/Kernel choice if you want a clean AOSP (android stock) experience go with the FXP CM9 or AOKP (for a little more customization)... If you browse the "Android Development" section you're going to find plenty about it and in the related thread you'll find some help with kernel choice!
I actually am on JJ's Hybrid Rom with ArcKnight kernel, it's based on Sony's firmware but looks like aosp (I don't like the CM9 camera) and it's really smooth!
Cheers and let me know if I helped you out! :fingers-crossed:

Hi ,
I believe you
Really helpfull man, i take a look at your description and look really nice room.
And i even have a option to install it with "Locked Bootloaders"(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489) so if someting goes wrong i can restore the phone with Sony software (SEUS).
Can you tell me if this are the files you use? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537717) you apply the patch too?
Im really happy with your feedback (i can see now some light at the end of the tunel)
To finish i have just one more litle question. is about the "baseband".
I am im Portugal and my phone is under TMN phone line. do you know if this rooms works fine? (i suppose it works because you can update too official ICS before start installing JJ's Hybrid Rom, but can you confirm this?) my thought is correct?
Best regards, and thanks for the reply.
Yeah that's the thread!
I applied the patch but it works just fine as it is, even without it!
baseband should be no problem, the problem is combination rom/baseband and not baseband/network (dunno if I can explain myself, sorry about it).
In other words, if your phone is on ics .431 stock and you flash this, you'll get the same baseband and everything's gonna work out!
I unlocked my bootloader so I'm not familiar with that kind of install but it should be even easier.
Let me know if you need any help about it, I hope we are not going too much OT!
Happy to help!

Nice :good:
i understand what you try to explain about baseband. no worry
dont know yet if i install this room by "unlocked bootloader" or "locked".
The Locked version have some vantages right? if i want to go to stock ics i can keep update the cellphne by Sony software. But im wondering, how many time the sony will update this phone? maybe not much,,because already listen someone say it will no get jellybean official update, so im really think in "unlock bootloader".
about the patch, how apply the pacth? right after instal the room, or reboot a couple of times them instal the patch?
by the way can you send me a link with the method to install it? dont want to mess with the room itself.
Thanks for all the support , really appreciate :highfive:
well,
I think this thread is the best if you need some guidance, I don't think I'd be better that this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Anyway if you unlock your BL, I'd proceed like this afterwards:
-backup all the things you need to keep from your phone because you're gonna delete all the data!
-download Flashtool, install all the drivers inside the drivers folder after the install, launch it and try to get your phone in "fastboot mode" (click on the lightning and select fastboot, then pick the button that suites you better )
-download the kernel you chose and flash the img by pressing "flash kernel img" in the fastboot menu (you may need to flash wifi modules later, so download them and put them inside your sd card
-download the .zip file of the rom you chose and put it inside your sd card
-ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM CABLE BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON, not always, but sometimes it makes android crash
-turn on your phone and keep pressing volume down till you get to recovery
-select "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache", go to "advanced" and select "wipe dalvik cache"
-select "install...." (second option in the main menu) and then install from sd card and pick the ROM file...
-after the flash is over, do the last step again and select the WIFI MODULES
-reboot to system, check if everything's working, if you want to apply the patch (in JJ's rom case) turn off your phone, get to recovery again and install the related zip...
Anyway I hope I'll not be held responsible if your phone is gonna explode, mine didn't! :angel:
Good luck!

Hi, once again THANKS for this mini tutorial
No worry you will not be responsible if my phone meltdown , i know flashing is always a little risky, but if something goes wrong most of the time only need to rooting again e flash it. (little chance of burning literally the phone, only if doing insane overclocks), beside i try the "locked bootloade" first so, i think is even easier to restore factor ICS if something bad happens.(hope not) :fingers-crossed:
-when you install the patch, you don't clean cache or something? just install?
-about the hifi modules, i should install it or only if my wifi not work?
in my work days i don't have time to do this procedure but in weakend i want apply this. Really lov the stock ICS look, not that changed version of sony (i mean, is pretty, but don't like)
Thanks for all the help.
I didnt wipe cache or dalvik when I applied the patch... Wifi modules are linked with the kernel you choose, so if you dont flash them, wifi won't work...so "yes" is the answer in any case! let me know if everything works out!

Not needed, but there is a baseband for CM9 which is in the thread, up to you if you want to use it or not.
Questions go to Q&A.
Also most of your questions would be answered, had you taken the time to read through the forums and search.

I didnt wipe cache or dalvik when I applied the patch... Wifi modules are linked with the kernel you choose, so if you dont flash them, wifi won't work...so "yes" is the answer in any case! let me know if everything works out!

You'll have more system space, probably your phone will be smoother and stable.
Anyway, IMHO:
-change kernel if you're looking for performance improvement, overclocking/undervolting or some particular feature
-change rom if you find some features you'd like/need that are not inside the stock one or if you want to customize it.

BIG HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steps to fix your problem.
Step 1: Search and Read through the Viper Rom thread to see if anyone else has or is having the problem similar to your and if a fix has been posted.
Step 2: if it has not been mentioned in the roms thread then post in the thread rather than taking up space in the Q&A section that could be saved by searching.
Step 3: Reflash the Rom if you cannot find a solution in the Viper thread. This will most likely be your best bet, but try steps one and two first.

Make a nandroid backup of your data. Reinstall Rom and the restore backup of data. I'm not positive it'll work but I can't think of anything else.
Sent from my vR:M8
Settings > Apps > find the viper apps and clear the caches etc. reboot and try again. If no good just dirty flash the ROM over again and you'll not lose any settings. - Check for ROM updates also. Pretty sure 1.8.1 is out.
I would appreciate some guidance as to what rom to install.
This UK version of the phone had become increasingly slow. I have just rooted it but do not know what to do next.
I had intended to install a custom rom and see it rejuvinated, especially for things like Sat Nav. I also want to get rid of some of the Samsung software that is taking up memory space and slowing the phone down. She I try to update the software to KitKat before installing a custom rom?

You could try this ROM, works great for me:

Alternatively, install custom kernels to improve experience:

I find the 101 pages to the help topic overwhelming, especially as it is solidly highly technical. Do you happen to know of a step by step set of instructions that I can follow with ease.
Sorry but some basic points I need clarifying:
You referred me to a rom that works great for you and yet suggest that a custom kernel will improve performance. How do I decide which one to go for? At heart I do not understand the difference between the two.
I had a look at the codina link and notice I need to know what file system is being run on my Ace 2. I tried gparted on my desktop and it did not pickup the android phone as a drive. How do I work out what drive format is being used?

Some searching in those threads couldn't hurt you. It's just one search box away.

- From recovery install temp. cwm.6028 (http://d-h.st/oZD)
- wipe data
- mounts and storages
- format system
- then CM 11 from 18/11 ext4 (link before)
- power off
- boot in cwm
- flash pico uni-gapps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942)
- flash latest ext4 kernel (optional)
- reboot system

I use both. So, in my case, I install the ROM first, and then I install the kernel (instructions above). Note that the kernel part is optional, but should give you better experience.

You could check this by using adb. But if you never did anything before, than it is most likely to be ext4 (default for our Ace2).
Thank you for your help. I have just gone to get the temp. cwm.6028 (http://d-h.st/oZD) and it keeps failing to download. Is the link working? Do you have another one?
I notice that there are two download buttons. The plain download button causes a warning that I am going to a web forgery. The download now button fails to download for me.

For some reason (newest) FireFox downloads it but deletes it right away... This file is save! Use another browser (Chrome for instance) to download... De-activate Download Manager and use Download Now button... Not the other one...
I downloaded it using Flareget and sent it to my desktop and that worked as a download. The downloaded file is called update.zip. Your reply in the last message suggested to me that it should be called "temp. cwm.6028" (http://d-h.st/oZD). I ask in case someone has substituted another file!

Dude.. you are really complicated! This update.zip is the Temp. CWM Recovery...
For sure the are some update.zip around the net which containing other stuff - But this (http://d-h.st/oZD) is the Temp. CWM Recovery.
And it's a save file (as I alrady wrote) - I looks right now that FF and Chrome dont want to download it...
I think some dump users reported this file to often! Only because they don't konw how to download corretly from Dev Host...
I hope this is clear now....
