[Q] Apps missing after unlocking the bootloader... :( - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello frnds,
I unlocked my bootloader with the official unlocking method given by SE. After I unlocked the bootloader and rebooted the cell, I can see many of the apps are missing and my home button is no more working... Can anyone help me?

All apps that were installed on your phone memory will of course be missing.

I had used link2SD.. Anyway, thank for ur reply.. I got it now..
By d way,I have flashed with DoomKernel and after that I tried to flash with Arconium and XperiaMod6 but none could work. It showed updates done and after I rebooted, it got stuck..

have u wipe factory reset in recovery.before update new rom...

I rebooted in CWM
Wiped Factory Reset
Wiped Cache
Wiped Dalvik Cache
and the Flashed the rom...
but I got same result with Arconium and Xperiamod6 as well..

i decided to switch to the jokawild rom yesterday and somehow my phone got bricked. i easily restored the phone back to its normal state
and i tried flashing the jokawild again. it doesnt boot up after installation, i thought this was normal because some roms take time to boot the first time. did i miss something? heres what i did
1. install the .69 firmware
2. flash doomkernel v14
3.did a factory reset
4. wiped cache partition and davlik cache
5. flashed the jokawild v3
6. booted my phone
after that it doesnt go beyond the doomkernel boot image and it stays there forever until i remove the battery.
what did i forget to do
if you successfully installed this Rom please post your exact steps.i would really appreciate it.
thanks in advance .
I don't need your help.

If you did factory reset, then wiping cache is unnecessary. Factory reset already wipes the cache partition aswell.

with firmware and CWM embed, than take hold back key to start phone
You probably dont have unlocked bootloader and you installed recovery with x-parts from google play store or runned a cmd file to install it.
When you installed the custorm rom you automaticaly lost your recovery. Each time you install a rom you must install recovery too.
Now that your phone wont boot you must flash stock ics/gb again with flash tool seus or pc companion.
Seus and PCC work only with locked bootloaders.

unable to install apps

Hi guys, hope somebody could help me to install apps on my note 2, rooted, but i use stock rom 4.1.1 android version...my son accidentally uninstalled my facebook apps and now i am unable to install it back. Everytime i tried it always says "insufficient memory", currently i have 8.65 GB free on my internal with a total size of 10.36GB usable space..i tried deleting the facebook in the delvak cache but still no go...I am unable to update the built in apps since i rooted my note 2..pls help..
Hi,
have you tried to wipe cache? not only the dalvik cache? This will force android to recreate his cache (oh and btw i dont know if your note 2 is concerned by the sudden death but you should update to 4.1.2)
thanks

[Q] Stuck in recovery mode bootloop!

Hello everyone,
This is what is happening to me. I was trying to flash Miroslav's Cyanogenmod 11 RC2 with Philz Touch 6.07.9, but none of the recomended methods worked for me, I just got stuck on lg logo bootloop - I really want this rom but it is hard as f**k to flash -. So I tried to go back to CM 10.2.1 and got the "Status 7" error. Very frustrated, I finally used my stock recovery image and it worked fine.
From this point, i was recovering my apps and data using titanium back up and when it finished, a notification asked if I wanted the official system update. I refused it and proceded to reboot. Now the phone boots instantly to recovery mode and show the purple screen of Philz touch. First I wiped cache and dalvik and got the same bootloop. Then I wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset and got the same bootloop. Finally, I formated system, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and flashed again my recovery image, and got again the recovery mode bootloop.
Any Ideas? Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
EDIT: I must clarify that when I flash my recovery image, it ALWAYS get suck on a part that says something like "installing android security". I have to press power button 10 seconds to restart but it boots normaly in the stock rom.

When in vain , unbrick your phone again using unbricking guide and use CWM , not all guide is working for the same type of phone . No need to wipe system clean cache watevr **** you were told unless recommended by developer and just factory reset then flash the rom

Thanks for the answer and the advice about factory reset. Yes, I had to unbrick my phone and by the way, still could not install miroslav's cm11 RC3 using Philz touch 6.19.3.
But I have another issue: I successfully got back to CM 10.2.1 but after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, I rebooted the phone and got stuck on CM logo for half hour. I wiped dalvik and got the same result. Then wiped cache and dalvik and still stuck. What should I do? Flash again the rom? The restored data is from CM 10.2.1 so I don't see any problem....

check again what you restore, user apps will have no problem to restore but system apps will cause incompatibility to the rom and crash it

The phone is good now, I restored the stock rom and from there I flashed CM 10.2.1 just making a factory reset. Plus I flashed adreno drivers and gapps. Once it booted, I restored my apps without sistem data and now the phone works properly.
Thank you Mr.201

Glad it worked, make sure you untick 'system' in filter in titanium backup so that you can only see your user apps .

[Q] Bricked. Help required

Hello XDA. I'm here with a request of help regarding my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM/ MAGURO). Yesterday i wanted to swap from CM11 to CM12 and backed up my apps using Titanium and backed my photos and stuff. The thing is when i finally got the rom itself and GAPPS in the device memory i performed a factory reset in the device before flashing. So i went to ClockworkMod Recovery like always and wiped dalvik but instead of wiping the cache i wiped the data and cache as many of you know its one option above of the wipe option so i deleted all the files from the device. The other issues is that i wiped my ROM and zip files that i wanted to flash. I wanted to boot into bootloader but my PC didnt recognize the device. I intalled the WUG's Nexus Root Toolkit and i did a second mistake by trying to flash stock rom and i dont have recovery now even. I can only boot into bootloader and its unlocked. No recovery, no ROM not files. Tried almost everything on my mind but it didnt help. The funny thing it i flash different ROM for years now across many deviced but for the first time i completely didnt pay any attention.
Can you guys please tell me what to do next? Thanks!
