Why don't you go ask doomlord or make question in doom's thread to get answer quickly ? If I were you, I'll backup via CWM mod and reflash fw .62 then flash doom kernel v19. Finally, wipe full and restore. Your current data will be saved for sure.

it is the same like me

install cwm, then choose the apply update from sdcard, then locate the file from your card.
Simple as that.

Here is the thread about basebands:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20113685
Just download the ftf file of the baseband you want ( i prefer 36 baseband because of the good battery life) and flash it with flashtool. then you have to flash the equal baseband lib via cwm.
You don't need to flash wifi modules if you are on doomkernel because it's already integrated

Awsome so even Doom kernel V18 has the Wifi intergrated?
nope
download and put in on you're sd cart,then flash in cwm the zip.

Of course! Since v16 it is integrated. Your link is for the modules of v15.
You just need to flash doomkernel v18

No way;
since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...
if u try to enable them on new kernel (v14 onwards) u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI...
i will be providing modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt (and other things) to work correctly
stock modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel OR if u revert to older v13 or lower kernels
remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....

Thanks so much guys,the linked worked and my wifi worked 100% now after using cwn to install it=)
One last question , i have teh kernel, i have the module and basband files but how do i install LT15_LT18_36_Baseband.ftf via flash tool? i have the ftf and lib files but when i try to flash the ftf file with flash tool it says i must conect in flash mode and when i try that whiel following the instructions it just either boots to safe mode or cwm mode.
What am i doing wrong guys?
Make sure you're device is in flashmode.
Power off ,hold on backbutton and plugin you're device,check if the led is green.
Flash the ftf.
If you see any error on the screen ,read it and check it on you,re device ...usb/unknownsources etc enable
I tried the menu button and the back button, it just goes into CWM screen, with blue led. Cant seen to get green led to show. i have .42 build.
You can't see anything ,because you're device is turned off,only thing you can see is flashtools window.
Ok:
1 put the ftf file in the firmware folder in flashtools.
2 power off you''re device..hold on backbutton and plugin.
3 return to flashtools and hit the flashbutton/select flashmode.
4 Now you see the ftf and flash it.
O Snap, iv been turning the phone back on all the time thats why!
Thanks alot man, got it finaly.
Thanks guys for answering all my silly questions.My Arc and I are happy now
Ok ..I'm happy to read it's working now.
Happy flashing :-]
Howzit guys, another quick question with regards to Kernel and the full touch recovery.I flashed the V19 Doom kernel on my phone abut cant seen to figure out how to acces the full touch recovery thou?
I tried using the back button, the menu buttom and even volup and down button but keep getting to the CWM-Based recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa-r2, funny thing is that yesterday i got to the full touch revoery menu but today im getting to this menu even if i keep tapping the button after i try tapping the button after i see the blue light.
Any idea? what am i doing wrong now again

It's usually written on page where the ROM is posted, just check back to that ROM page and search kernel used. Remember, if it's entirely new, flash kernel first then flash ROM. If the ROM use the same kernel you've flash before, just flash ROM only

That one goes with stock kernel, doomkernel snd arcknight.
Did you flash it over a gingerbread rom ? If so first flash a stock ics with flashtool and then go for the MooDeD.

[Q] Xperia Arc .062 firmware root? Help

Hey guys, my phone is currently at 4.0.2.A.0.62 and it is boot loader unlocked. But I have complete no idea how to root my phone. And after I root, I would like to have my phone's UI look like the Ice Cream Sandwich look, but not the actual firmware, because I heard that Xperia Arc cannot handle ICS from the official sony ericsson website. So if anyone of you guys can help. It would be very helpful. Cheers
You can't use tools to root .62 firmware coz sony did something not being able to root it.. As you mentioned that your bootloader is unlocked why don't you flash a custom kernel like Doomkernel and a smooth rom like Arconium and it'll do wonders for you.. Then you can install themes to get the ICS look.... Because, i have done all of these and presently using this setup!

Hey yeah thanks mate. But where can I get the kernel from, can you post the link? And I've got the flash tool software, so do I just flash the kernel from there? Cheers

Above s the kernel link, download both the kernel and the libraries.. Yes you can flash kernel using flashtool..Copy the .img file to pc, Get into fastboot mode by switching off the mobil, then press the menu button and connect to pc.. Flashtool will say that device connected in fastboot mode.. Now go to flash option and select fastboot mode, from the toolbox select kernel to flash and point to the img file.. The kernel will be flashed.. Now go into recovery and flash the libraries you downloaded from the kernel thread or else wi fi wont work! Get it?

Now i flashed a GB ftf. Can anyone help me, how can i make the .587 ftf work..? what is the reasom behind that? And even i tried to relock the boot loader and update using sony pc companion. It ended up in a failed error message.
Please HELP
thanks in Advance..!
No, you do not need root to install kernel.
No, you do not need to flash stock ICS/GB if you are going to install full fresh custom ROM.

Are you flashing the arc S or arc ftf. You need to flash the Arc S version as it gives u more internal memory needed by the rom.

Since you unlocked your bootloader, you can flash any custom kernel (Doomkernel or newer Lupus kernel). They all have CWM or TWRP recovery.
Thank you for the reply.

You could check tutorals at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836530
You could also check sticky threads in q/a and general section
Maybe cwm installer (or xparts) don't work on unlocked bootloader, and that's why you can't install it. Or, as i recall, only some versions work (v5 is working, as i recall)
Before all that, make backup of your apps with titanium backup, just in case.
Custom kernels have embedded cwm recovery (two things in a single file).
