[Q] Cant install any rom keeps hanging - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Before i posted this i did plenty reading and looked for answers but no luck but here is the issue.
I managed to figure out how to root and unlock boot which i have done and installed cwm kernel which is working fine.
Now this is how i am installing
downloading rom.zip and putting on sd card
resetting phone via cwm kernel and clearing cache and clearing divsomething
then i reboot phone again into kernel and install zip from sd card
the whole installation goes okay
once installation completes i reboot and then it boots and then hangs.
I have tried different roms and all have same issue ????
Can someone please advise
Here is some more info
Model LT15I
Android version 2.3.4
baseband version -64
kernal version 2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #stock plus_1.9
build number of rom which is generic i am using for time being is 4.0.2.A.0.62
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Tiger

make sure the rom is compatible with the kernel

While waiting for an answer i decided to install another kernel by doomlord i think and though i would try same rom and it installed but wifi not working.
/runs for cover from doom lords shoe.
so installed another cmw kernel by someone else and installed rom all working
Thanks for reply just need to play around abit.

u r welcome.
and for the wifi issue just flash the modules which in the kernel's thread

I decided to use the KA11 ice cream rom it kicks ass, working a treat.

[Q]Boot Loop after flashing various roms.

Hey guys i'm trying to run this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278758
and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380713
on my Arc, i rooted with zergRUSH on .42, installed auto cwm installer, flashed a working DoomKernel V4 (works with other roms).
I tested both the above roms on DoomKernel, doing all the wiping first (system, cache, davlik etc.)
My basbeand is .56 which hasen't seemed to be a problem with anything else.
The problem is after rebooting from cwm recovery after flashing the roms, my phone gets into a boot loop, showing the DoomKernel image, than rom logo, then reboot again, and so on, just wondering what i might be doing wrong
Thanks in advanced.
(also, 1 more thing, I'm new to the forums, so can someone give me some idea of where the GOD DAMN thanks button is)
You are trying the ICS kernel with GB rom.
Thats not possible.
Flash/Fastboot ics kernel to ics rom
And gb kernel to gb rom
From my sexy LT15i
Thanks
Hey man thanks, i flashed my device back to stock .42 with wotanclient, so i got my stock kernel back, reflashed cwm recovery, and then managed to get the 1st rom working on the stock kernel.
However, i can't seem to get wifi working on the 1st rom, and it has somehow removed my cwm recovery.
Gonna reflash stock .42 so i can test the second rom.
(also, i found the thanks button)
For wifi you need to flash the wifi modules
From my sexy LT15i
Still no wifi
Hey mate thanks for the suggestion, i managed to get both roms working on the stock kernel with no add-ons, however as with the first one, i can't get any wifi on the second one,
I had a look at both the rom threads, neither of which provide and kind of wifi module to speak of, and the only module i can find is with DoomKernel, which causes neither of the roms to work.
On both roms, when i try to turn on the wifi all i get is this
Wi-Fi
Error
Thanks in advanced
Witch rom and doom did you use.
The doomkernel v.20 is for gingerbeard roms (android 2)
The doomkernel v.4 is for icecreamsandwich roms (android 4)
Try the wifi module from doom anyway, ir try to contact dev.

[Help] Custom ROM

I updated my Arc S with the official ICS update from sony however the lag and other issues were driving me mad so i decided to root my phone.
The next obvious step seemed to be installing a custom ROM so i installed clockwork mod and made a back up, everything great so far.
I made a back-up and wiped my phone, went to install the free xperia CM9 ROM and thats when everything went pear shaped.
The ROM didn't install, i wiped my phone again but got the same distressing fail.
Thinking there was possibly a fault with the zip i re-downloaded the ROM and found an alternative (one of the arcronium ones i think) and put those on my SD, all seemed to be well and good, i had a backup and Clockwork Mod what could possibly go wrong?
Well when i tried to boot my phone in recovery all i get is a boot loop! :crying:
The only thing i could do was to use flashtools and flash a ROM to my beloved Arc S
I tried this exact process a few times but suffered the same fate, please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? or could i apply a custom ROM using flashtools?
Where I'm currently at:
Model number: LT18i
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-70
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build Number: 4.1.A.0.562
Where I would like to be in an ideal world:
Fully working Arc S running Cynogen Mod 9 :victory:
Any help achieving this would be greatly appreciated!

FXP ROM function best on FXP Kernels... Try flashing one of their Kernels and reinstalling the ROM.
Bootloader open?
And for CM u need a fxp kernel, but u cant use it with arconium, there u need trinity or arc-knight kernel
Make sure to do a "Wipe data / factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" when going from stock or from another custom ROM
I have no idea if my bootloader is open or not, how do i tell?
I found this link to the FXP CM 9.0 but i have no idea what anything is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356685
I'm guesing "CM9.0 RC1 FXP127" is a kernel? and if so how do i flash it and what do i do next?
Thanks for the replies, I'll be getting my Arc fixed in no time
Did you follow any instructions from sony to unlock bootloader?

No, it's a ROM. You need to read things carefully before just going and flashing this or flashing that. Flash a stock ROM with the Flashtool and start over.

Dude, First thing you gotta do is unlock your boot loader. Google around you will find it. To unlock the boot loader as well as to flash a custom kernel you need something called fastboot. There is a video in youtube on how to use fastboot and flash custom kernel and that user has provided the download link as well go and search. After unlocking boot loader install CWM (either with auto installer or by flashing a custom kernel with CWM) After doing that flash the FXP127 zip booting in to CWM. The FXP127 zip contains the FXP kernel as well so don't worry when you flash that the kernel gets changed as well. Still can't figure it out. I suggest you keep away from flashing roms Just kidding.
I'm on a stock ROM at the moment that i flashed so i'll just follow some instructions and unlock my bootloader first.
Where can i the latest FXP kernel?
Again Cheers guys

You can find CM9 kernel in zip that you just downloaded. Open it an Extract "boot.img" file. That is the kernel. Flash that first, go to recovery, wipe all data, wipe dalviks chcae, format /system and then chose "install .zip from SD card" and select FXPCM9.zip (or whatever it is named) and it will install you CM9. Don't forget on Gapps.
excellent i unlocked my bootloader and i've got the kernel and rom i want, just one last thing, whats the baseband and when do i flash it (if i have to flash it at all)?
Unfortunately i forgot i uninstalled the stock sony launcher and when unlocking the bootloader it wiped launcher pro so my phones pretty useless as it stands so the quicker i can get a new rom on the better!
Many thanks again, I'm slowly getting there
All done
Cheers for the help everyone!
baseband controls radio communications like communications with cell towers
I did not flash any baseband and it works

[Q] Kernel flshing

Hey folks,
Im new to the whole custom roms & kernel business but already experiencing the benefits and enjoyment behind tweaking my Arc S.
Ive managed to unlock my bootloader and get Jelly Sandwhich 5.0 running using the Lupus v5 kernel but decided to upgrade to the latest version of the kernel which is 5.2.
Carried out all the usual steps and reinstalled my custom rom only to find my phone hanging on the boot logo.
Luckily I had a backup so could easily restore but am wandering what it is I have done wrong as the last few times ive been messing around with it, it worked like a charm, am I supposed to re-flash to stock kernel before flashing to a new kernel?
Would ask in the developers thread itself but am stuck with my nooby post limit of 1 so cannot reply or give thanks to all those involved.
If you've reinstalled a different ROM then you should have cleared data and caches, if it's stuck on the updated kernel then it's possibly a kernel problem. And you don't need to flash the whole ROM if just updating the kernel.
No problems reported in the development thread so must have been an issue at my end. Noticed I was on an older flashtool version so will update
to latest version wipe everything and try again.

[Q] Noob help with roms?

hi there
before you tell me its in the wrong section i can't post in the development section yet, i'm a new member.
so basically, heres how it is: i have an xperia play r800i(unlocked UK version) which in october i flashed free xperia kernel onto and cyanogenmod 9.1. i have now decided that i want xdark 4.0.3 on it because the wifi stopped working on cyanogenmod and it has no support for touchpads. however, i dont know if it is as simple as just going into CWM and flashing the .zip from there.
can i do that? or do i need to flash something like doomkernel? and can i flash that the same way i flashed FXP?
i am quite a noob when it comes to this, so any help is appreciated.
it is rooted and the bootloader was unlocked the official way.
thanks
Back up everything with Titanium or something similar. Then place the XDark zip file onto the root of the SD card.
Then, with Flashtool:
1) Flash R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897
2) Flash LuPus ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804003
Once that's done, boot the phone and enter recovery (pressing back when LuPuS flash screen appears and phone vibrates), clear the cache and dalvik cache partitions, then install the XDark ROM. When that's all done, reboot and all should be done.
XDark seems to be suspended for now though, might be better to go for something that's still currently being supported?
thank you for your swift response, i will be doing that later.
Do both a titanium back up and a nandroid just to be safe also do the normal whipes

[q] my xperia play is stuck on bootloader after flashing kernels

Guys i really need help, I'm using an xperia play and i had just unlocked the bootloader and then flashed a the trueancestors ics rom and the LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full kernel. Now it turns out that i didnt like the rom so i put it back to stock, still with the lupus kernel. Everything was working however i wanted to have the doomkernel v14. So i flashed the doomkernel and it was working however the wifi had erroros so i changed back to the lupus kernel. Again everything was working fine now. I then found out how to fix the wifi problem on doomkernelv14 so refrlashed that kernel. Before i reflashed the kernel i deleted the trueancestors isc rom as i didnt like it so i thought it would be ok. After the flash i tried to reboot the device, and it was stuck on the bootloader for doomkernel, not in a bootloop just stuck at doomkernel bootloader. I tried to fix this by going to recovery (clockwork mod) and then did a factory reset, wiped the cache and data and the dalvik cache as i saw these online for instructions on how to fix this problem. Still i had the same problem, stuck at bootloader. So i tried somthing different and reinstalled the trueancestors ics rom, and tried to reboot the xperia play, again stuck at bootloader. Im sorry if this was a bit long but I AM LITTRALLY BEGGING FOR SOME HELP! Please make a suggestion as to how i can fix this ASAP. Can it be fixed?Thank you for you Advice it is very much aprecciated. Ive posted this somewhere else in which i couldnt find but i really need help on this, please can anyone help. :crying:
you shouldn't post a like or not like any developer handmake. try back to a stock..

When switching kernels with different partition layout you have to delete data and system partition in fastboot mode.
I'm lazy to type again so here is a link where it is explained already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536&page=100
You can prevent future problems by wiping data and system partittion from CWM and THEN flash new kernel that have different partittion layout

I havent tried this yet,becuase i need my dad to allow flash tool to work (Parental controls ffs -.-") however i saw the thread and i saw this part saying enter these commands "fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase system i undestand how to get the command thing open but how do u enter these in, and what i mean is do you just open the command thing and just paste these in or do u have to right click somthing open comand promt here and all the stuff then enter them? Also these steps u listed, everything is fine its just my lack off knowladge for some of these things which i do apologize for
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
3.erase system and data from fastboot
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Where do you get the unlocked vender partition, and which one is better .62 or .79 and if u could send me a link as your helping me i think ur choice of links for this is more reliable than mine, and again this is greatly appreciated.
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
Download file name R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post have firmware files
Guide how to use flashtool you can find at [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
Flashing .79 or .62 firmware is necessary if you are planning to use lupus gb or icd/gb kernel - and you only need to do it once.
Flashing kernel is same, but when pressed on lighting icon, choose "fastboot"
3.erase system and data from fastboot
Ok, i made a zip for you. Download it from attachment, unpack to anywhere you like and double-click file named "start". Power off phone, press search and while keeping it pressed, plug in usb. I don't think you need admin rights for that, but:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROM PLACED ON YOUR SD CARD! Just in case, because that program will erase everything from your phone.
You should be able to enter recovery and/or flash your rom/restore your backup.
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Also, read some sticky threads, they are there for a reason
Again im really sorry to bother you with this, but what if i dont want to flash the rom, becuase i didnt like it in the first place so i went back to stock, however this method of returning to stock was to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf file. Now what it did was return it to stock rom (AFTER i tried the rom i didnt like) and unrooted the phone, i dont know if it returns the phone to stock firmware, and if the method of the system data wipe thing with the command prompt deleted everything, what can i flash? Little more explaination as to why im asking. Before this boot stuck thing hapenned i had used that same ftf file to return it to stock and unrooted. I re-rooted the phone and then flashed the lupus kernel. Everything was fine. I wanted to flash the doomkernel because like a dum nut i wanted to show off that i could overclock to 2ghz ( if i wanted to) as if alrdy stated before and did so. I think you can only flash zip files from your SD card so the ftf file wont be able to be flashed while on the device. So what do i flash? Should i just flash the rom i dont like and try return it to stock, then flash the ftf .79 firmware again after re-rooting the phone, then flash the doomkernelv14. In short i want to stay with the normal gingerbread 2.3.4 with doomkernelv14. Again i havent tried this yet and also sorry for these long rambly posts, i just want to give you as much info as possible in order for you to help me. Thank you so much for your solution btw much appriciated.:good:
And almost forgot i also want it back to rooted but i can do that myself, i just thought i'd specifiy it just incase its worth anything.

Yes, if you wipe data and system then EVERYTHING is deleted. All your apps (data) and even android OS itself (system). You'll have to either flash new rom or restore backup after wiping system
Doomkernel need wifi modules to be installed from CWM recovery to have working wifi
I'll attach it
Im wondering about my battery life, because it seems to be draining faster. Im using no frills cpu with the lupus kernel alowing me to overclock to 1.6 ghz. I set my higest on 1613 mhz and lowest on 249mhz using the smartassv2 governer. any idea to whats going on ?
ok...i screw up my xperia play... dunno what to do.
hi guys, been a noob after i fed up with my xperia x8 now i having a xperia play f or 2 years and try to install a custom kernel and roms but i end up brick my phone. it just stuck at logo "xperia free play". it still can enter cwm recovery mode but when i use the method press the arrow thing then plug in the usb cable to pc , it seems my pc did detect my phone but cant show up my memory card in 'my computer' window. The i try to use fastboot & flashtool both can detect my phone after plug in. Here is what i do before brick:
first thing i did on my phone was to upgrade the stock kernel 4.0.2.a.0.42, then i unlock the bootloader, root it, and start download the custom rom without download the requirement kernel. after that, i install CWM using fast boot, put the custom rom to sd card, wipe user data, bla bla bla, then install the custom rom, the next thing i see is the problem i talking about earlier. So i try to using the service update from SCE but it just say im using a modified kernel hence i unable recover it using that method. so, i try to use flash tool x10 (i cant get any working download it keep saying error 404 link, this is the best i have now) when i press the flash it come out red words with error usb ...the thing is my phone cant get detected by my computer.... What to do or it is over? (p/s : i download the flash tool & adb package winrar file & the custom rom i mention is close 2 perfection)
I know is a bit long but I really need help on my phone, i still have a x8 here from my mom and mine is xperia play brick for 3 days now i still cant find a way to solve it. PLEASE HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP. THANK YOU FOR THOSE RESPONSE~!

Man i was doing so well before, but im now stuck in a bootloop. I cant enter the recovery menu as the phone just keeps bootlooping. Also with lupus kernel the menu doesnt come up. I just erased the user data and system with ur zip from before and flashed aurora play with lupus v12.5 kernel It worked like everything else. i got more curious so i did the same thing erased user and system data then flashed gin2jellybean with the same kernel.( i followed ur intructions from before on how to flash roms n stuff) Everything worked again. I wanted a new kernel so i flashed extreme kernel r3. phone got stuck in a bootloop. So i erased user data and system data, then flashed and ftf stock rom and then flashed extreme kernel r3. everything was working. I went into titanium backup and uninstalled some system apps and accidently deleted the one that let you see the running services to see available ram. So i cleared data and and system data reflashed ftf stock rom in flashmode ofc, and extreme kernel in fastboot. I got a bootloop, so i tried all the different kernels that i could and i cant get into the menu for recovery. Can you please help me once again, i'll thank every post.

I just erased the user data and system with ur zip from before and flashed aurora play with lupus v12.5 kernel It worked like everything else. i got more curious so i did the same thing erased user and system data then flashed gin2jellybean with the same kernel.( i followed ur intructions from before on how to flash roms n stuff) Everything worked again. I wanted a new kernel so i flashed extreme kernel r3. phone got stuck in a bootloop. So i erased user data and system data, then flashed and ftf stock rom and then flashed extreme kernel r3. everything was working. I went into titanium backup and uninstalled some system apps and accidently deleted the one that let you see the running services to see available ram. So i cleared data and and system data reflashed ftf stock rom in flashmode ofc, and extreme kernel in fastboot. I got a bootloop, so i tried all the different kernels that i could and i cant get into the menu for recovery. Can you please help me once again, i'll thank every post.

For most part, you are doing it right, but, to solve problem with recovery, you should use "eraser" AFTER you change kernel

Naturaly, it will drain more battery BECAUSE it's overclocked.

I think you should repeat the fastboot process once again, so:
fastboot erase userdata
and fastboot erase system
then just flash the kernel you prefer.
I had exactly the same problem with my play bootlooping after flashing some kernels. and this solved the problem for me :victory:
sorry for my bad English, :crying:
