First of all, use search before posting!
There are hundreds of threads about the issue, just search, there's also a kernel to fix it

I'm afraid to update my arc by this problem, and I can't ask in another thread.

i am planning on getting rid of my W8 & buying a Arc S....but i am a bit stumped by a couple of things. i like modding my phones....my W8 was pretty modded out...i didnt unlock the bootloader & ran stock kernel but i could still flash custom roms. can i still do that with the arc s? i mean do i have to unlock bootloader in order to install any custom roms?? & are the steps to rooting an arc the same as rooting an arc s?? any help would be appreciated....
arc S can be rooted with zergrush method very easy...
on locked booltoader so far can instal only 2 custom rom based on stock firmware...
also theme, mods can be instaled with CWM on locked BL..
Which two roms are you talking about? Can I flash even with cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 nAa r2? (the one with thd auto_installer in themes and apps category) thanks for you attention!

Hi guys
i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want
basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question
the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side
the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning
Model: LT18i
Version:2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..
if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.
Then you can start messing around.

Can you tell me from where i can download that because i had found this which is mentioning that is working for my version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
please also explain if i can use the back up to reflash my phone in its original state at any time i wish and how through the phone or by any third party application like Odin i.e. and where can i locate the back up file inside the phone or SD memory
i am owner of S2 and i am doing pretty well but with Arc s i am just noob
yea...i did the same too....rooted it installed CWM & backed up my rom & tried to flash a custom rom that didnt require bootloader unlocking or custom kernel.....i managed to do sumthng do the phone...it got stuck at the se logo...it wudnt even go to CWM....later the guys here advised me to use flashtool to reflash a stock firmware...& i did & with my fingers crossed...did so & got my arc s back alive.....after this episode...i lost the nerve to flash custom roms in my arc s......& i have been flashing custom roms in my w8 & this never happened.....this shows that the arc s development area is still not ironclad yet
btw...i do have a question.....i am a bit confused by the system info from antutu benchmark....the original stated RAM for the arc s is 512MB. but in antutu benchmark shows total RAM as 335MB.....i dont get it.....can anyone else confirm this??

Is you bootloader unlocked??
What ROM or Kernel do you use?
i received an update notification when i using wifi..then i just download it and install..next it turns off automatically..after a few minutes it doesnt on.. ( i think the notification is from ''update center'' or something like that.. )

Now...try to flash ROM and Kernel via Flashtool..

I think you will have to reflash your rom again.

full wipe
U didnt tell us what exactly u did Probably u need full wipe. When u are installing new rom, especially based on diffrent version of android that u have already, u should make complete wipe. But if ur settings r important, to u try change kernel (if u have unlocked bootloader) for one of supported by ur ROM, then flash phone again and look what will happen In my opinion installing ROMs with blocked bootloader is quite hard, cos u r dependent of ur kernel version. U wont install ROM, which is not suporrted by kernel, and if smth go bad, u must use computer to turn it back. Which unlocked bootloader u can simply backup and restore ur phone

You now have to use the Flashtool to re-flash your device to its original firmware,you will also lose root permission.read the 'sticky' to explain how.still stuck after that watch one of the many YouTube videos showing how.

Well all you can do is start over again.Flash stock fw/rom and root it with NEW one click root just google for it, it works fine with. 62 and latest ics stock rom,or if you have bootloader unlocked you can flash custom kernel that has cwm and root in it.

Search around the forum, there's plenty of tutorials out there. Also do some research before you do anything to your phone. Don't try it if you cannot understand the instructions.

At sony's logo?
Then you dont have an unlock bootloader, and you can't install any CM based ROM.
Use the pc companion or whatever software recommended on those tutorials to flash an original firmware form sony and bring "back to life" your phone. I don't know if you need to root your phone again (it disappear)
Thanks guys flashing it worked...just needed to wipe cache thanks
