Hi,
There is such post in Dev forum, but it was never answered... I have ArcS with FXP45 on it, but didn't flash SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom before flashing this one... Now I have high battery drain and found that this SEMC version fixes it. Can I now flash it and then go back to CM7?
Thanks,
Michal

yes you can
you can flash .42 and then flash cm7

thanks - that worked well

MIUI installation successfull but the device won't load

Hey
Maybe there's someone out there who can help me...
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 on my Sony arc (LT15i) with the firmware arc 4.1.b.0.431...
I'm fighting all day with the issue. I'm trying to flash this MIUI version.
First I flashed and rooted the custom ROM with these instructions
Everything was OK
I installed CWM (the newest I got), flashed MIUI, but after restarting the system the only thing I get to see is SONY logo...
Please help me someone...

i think i flashed the wrong one.. is there any way bringing it back to 2.3.7?
Try flashing the kernel from the FXP152 rom.
Or use flashtool to flash it back to stock, see this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486

Your suppoosed to be on 2.3.4 firmware before installing cm9 or cm10 rom. Use flashtool to flash firmware. Then on fastboot flash cm9 kernel later boot your device and enter recovery in cwm and wipe all caches. Then install cm zip in cwm.

If your kernel screen comes up then its not bricked. Just flash the stock ftf. Search for it as r800x stock 2.3.3 ftf. Download flash tool and flash it with that. Its self explanatory. Also Zeus is for r800i you need to use zeusc though it should still have booted (only service wouldn't work). After flashing ftf try again and make sure you clear data/cache/dalvik and format system from recovery before installing. Also it might just take a a couple minutes to boot. Don't worry about bricking the play. Flash tool will fix almost all software problems. Usually the only way to mess it up is physically.

If your bootloader is unlocked you don't need X-Parts, if it isn't and you've wiped data then yes, you need to flash a stock ftf, which is what you should have tried already, then start over and when you get back into CWM, flash your backup.

Remove and insert battery... Turn on...as soon as you see logo start pressing vol down button... That will take you to recovery... From there flash rom...
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda app-developers app
It seems half of the problem has been solved
I downloaded LT18i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf sized 373.97Mb and I flash it ...
now I have (Android version : 4.0.4 / kernel version : 2.6.32.9-perf / Build number : 4.1.B.0.587)
and the root has been removed and I also can't access recovery mode
but I didn't like the version because it is slow and the Wi-Fi network disconnects a lot
I want a clean Rom/Kernel/recovery for Xperia arc s (I prefer Performance and extended battery life)
I want the easiest way because I don't want to fall in mistakes again
Thx ...

Hi, noob here, first post on xda, hope this helps
i had the same problem, trying to intall superjellybean 6 and fusion 5.4 kernel from the rom thread on my unlocked BL rooted ArcS with XperiaUltimateHD and Lupus kernel. Got stuck on fusion kernel logo after flashing it following the guide in superjellybean thread. I think the problem come from flashing a JB kernel on a ICS rom.
Mine is working now (notice that is unlocked BL), this is what i've done
flash via flashtool the LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184), then oneclick root the device again using Eroot_v1.3.4 from this thread.
using flashtool flash a lupus ics kernel for having the CWM back.
reboot to CWM recovery and do the wipes and flash the zips Superjellybean 6 and google apps, on the ics kernel. the device still won't boot.
from flashtool reboot to fastboot mode and flash a JB kernel (i used Lupus jb).
reboot and good luck
