What kernel should i use? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to put cyanogen mod on my arc s but i was stuck in a boot loop and i thought maybe i need a custom kernel for it.
What kernel should i use? Cyanogenmod Kernel or DooMKernerl for Cyanogenmod ?
Will the ARC-DooMKernel-v18-FIX1-lower_boot (1.6ghz) will work with cyanogen although i wont overclock the cpu? And whats the order of stept?
Root, flash kernel and then instal cyanogen from sd via cwm?
Thanx

Use FXP's kernel inside the package.
DooMKernel for CM7 is no longer supported atm.

I don't really understand your question, are you in a bootloop?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

I too had the same problem.
Its not exactly instant boot loop.
When CM boots up the first time, it asks us to touch the android to begin.
The moment you touch it, it reboots.
I got around this by downloading a lower/older version of CM. Helped me boot first, and analyze later.

do you flash the right baseband?

[Q] kernel upgrade

hi, im currently in leedroid's v2.0 rom and v2.0.2 kernel. i want to download and install the newer kernel. how do i do it? do i install the zip in recovery mode? need help again guys =) thank you so much =)
Just download it, put it to your SD, go to recovery and "select install zip from SD card". Then you can select the kernel, and when it finishes, reboot system.
wont i have bootloops? cause i read some people are getting boot loops when flashing kernel in recovery
That is of course one possibility. You just have to take the risk, my Kernel Update Utility does not support LeeDroid kernels yet. You can fix the bootloop by flashing your ROM again.
An easier way would be to do a nandroid, if it goes wrong, just use the advanced restore, to restore /system. But i have been flashing kernels from recovery since i got my hero and have never had any issues......

Hi folks!
I have n answer about updating kernels..
I'm on CM7 actually and I have flashed a modded kernel, if I go with an update of CM7 does this overwrite the custom kernel and I have to flash it again?
Sorry for bad english.
thanks guys, i finally flashed the kernel (taking the risk cause i forgot to do a nandroid) luckily i did it with success. thanks for people who answered my question. more power to you guys

[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

[HELP]Xperia Arc LT15i stuck on SONY after installing Xperia Ice Bean

Hi
After attempting to install Xperia Ice Bean on my Xperia LT15i awhile ago then reboot the phone, I am now astuck on SONY Logo. Itried giving n 10 minutes to wait for the tools to be installed however, I still got this SONY logo. I performed full reboot by removing the battery and still getting the same.
Now, I'm trying to revive my phone by installing the stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4.
Can somebody help me on this. I'm so nervous already that I might not be able to revive my phone.
Please I need your help guys ASAP.
BTW I'm using LT15i running on Rooted ICS 4.0.4 with the updated Busybox installed.
Managed to install CWM.
Here's what happened.
I have to tell it honestly. I didn't follow the instructions on how to correctly install the ROM. I just mount the sdcard and install the zip without even wiping the data and doing factory reset. I know its wrong but I still did it.
Can somebody assist me on this.
Thanks, I can donate some of my cash to your build if I revive my phone back.
Assuming you can get into flash mode, just reflash stock Rom available in the general arc section, use flashtools for this.
After you get stock back you are at the point of decision, do you stick with current set up or try custom roms, remember custom roms sometimes need custom kernels as well so you will need unlocked bootloader to send them via fastboot.
I have found some custom roms don't work I too get blank screens etc, but have installed the pureness build and it runs well

Yes just flash a firmware by flashtools ..it should b back to normal.

Xperia Arc S Stuck on "Sony" Logo after failing to Flash!

Hey there!
I am from germany, watched a bunch of tutorials on how to root & install custom roms.
Today i decided to download Cyanogen Mod 9.1 on my Xperia Arc S ( Lt18i) android 4.0.4
I rooted the phone, checked it with an application that tells you if its rooted or not.
I flashed the Kernel, launched CWM and started installing Cyanogen Mod. I still believe it got stuck on "Installing update..." after about 5 minutes so i pulled out the battery.
When i try to switch on my phone now, it only shows the "Sony" Logo like forever, i can not to anything. Please please help me!
Flashing the Kernel back with Flashtools, pretty much the only thing i can do doesnt work
Thank you in advance, greetings Donlu
All you have to do is find .ftf file of software you need and flash it with flashtool and everthing will be fine.Good luck!

But what is that? :S The ftf from cyanogen mod? How can i get Cyanogen mod to work now? :S
The stock .ftf file. It restores the original firmware to your phone. Then restart flashing process again. I believe it's somewhere in the general or development section
Hi, if you want to install cyanogenmod you must flash kernel which included in zip file.
Check again in zip file, than flash that. (named boot.img)
If sony logo still appear you fail flashing kernel

I wanted to flash cyanogenmod on my device. What should i do? From where do i get the Cyanogenmod 10 for my One V?

Thanks dude.. this is what i did,
I made a nandroid backup..
Copied the cm_primou-ota-eng.Lloir.zip onto the SD card
Booted the device in recovery, wiped the cache and did a factory reset and selected INSTALL .zip FROM SD CARD.. Its just showing cyanogemod animation and nothing happened for atleast 4-5 hours!
Am i doing anything wrong? Please help..
IIRC, you need the Hellboy kernel for cm10.
Do a nandroid backup FIRST.
1.put ROM is sdcard's root.
2. Put boot.img in fastboot folder.
3. Boot into bootloader,from there select fastboot and flash kernel in fastboot.
4. Then go into recovery and do full wipe and then install ROM.
5. Boot into ROM and then again boot into recovery and then flash gapps.
Download this kernel and flash it-
http://www.mediafire.com/?lo2ctaplonbdh
Select this kernel from the list-
boot-HELLBOY-201212251747.img
Flash the kernel using this command-
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Refer this guide-
