[Q] Arc S won't boot - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Arc S with DoomKernel
I just flashed the .70 baseband and then Arconium ICS update zip. Now when I boot it shows the DoomKernel logo but then the screen goes blank (backlight is still of, just a black screen) and nothing further happens.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Did you wip cache/factory reset and dalvik cache? And did you flash the right kernel? Doomlords kernel for ics?

I had almost the same problem yesterday.
First time i did it,i flashed the baseband 70,then stock kernel and finally arconium.
but then when i open the phone,the bb is missing.
Then i tried flashing the bb again,this time,the phone wont even boot..
After that i tried flashing the nordic 568+wipe user data,baseband 70,stock kernel and it booted. =)

Fixed (kinda)
I tried reflashing both the kernel and the ROM a number of times with different options on Arconium but that didn't help. I flashed Arc-Knight Kernel and then flashed arconium again and this booted fine. It seems to have been a problem between DoomKernel and Arconium.

[Q] Bootloop after kernel update (gingercakes)

hello,
i´ve installed Acesmod-3d yesterday. this have the gingercakes 0.7f bfs kernel.
after i updated gingercakes 0.7g (all 4 versions) i became a boot loop.
i saw white picture with green HTC, screen off, vibration und the same comes.
I thought so. normaly, but this never changed :/
tested the snq kernel, but here the same
can anybody help?
What process did you use to install the kernel?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Amonra Recovery, wipe dalvik cache und Flash zip from sdcard
happened to me as well...i wiped and installed everything all over then made a nandroid (in case it happens again). installed kernel again and everything worked...
i personally think that flashing anything but the kernel at one go, makes it go boot loop for some reason..
i´ve flashed the rom new and flashed the kernel.. boot loop :/
wait for new rom, with new actually kernel..

[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

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.

Play bricked after Gin2JellyBean w/ DoomKernal v03?

I have an Xperia Play (r800i, 2.3.4) which I unlocked the bootloader of, I wanted to try the Gin2JellyBean Rom, so I flashed the DoomKernel v03 onto the phone, booted into Clockworkmod Recovery, flashed "RootXperia.zip" and then flashed the Gin2JellyBean ROM, everything going good, I reboot into system and I see the doomkernel booting screen, it gets to the Gin2JellyBean boot animation, then the screen goes black, and then back to the DoomKernel screen, to Gin2JellyBean, etc etc.
I tried to flash the stock firmware onto it using FlashTool, but it doesn't give me the option to Wipe the data(?) it just shows the tft file I have, (.42) and that's it, Any help? I THINK it's a SoftBrick but I'm not sure, I'm pretty nooby to this stuff, if you can help I will be very grateful, thanks
First of all - it's kernEL.
Second - you have a bootloop. And you don't have to wipe data when flashing ftf file - just go to recovery and select "Factory reset". Then POWER OFF the device (don't boot it!) and flash the ftf file. This should help.

You've flashed the wrong kernel. You need the Gingerbread version of Doom's kernel for it to work, as Gin2JellyBean is Gingerbread.
It's because you flashed the wrong kernel. You flashed an ICS kernel instesd of GB kernel. Gin2JellyBean is just a JB-themed Gingerbread. Go flash Doomkernel v14 and it will be okay.

Thanks for the help guys, really means a lot, I ended up flashing an ICS Rom instead x) phone looks great and runs smooth as hell, will come back here if I have any problems c:

[Q] Please help. Weird Brick

I am on Gin2Jb 2.4.0 , lupus v12-gingerbread-ram , and This is what happened : I played a bit of can knockdown 3(no oc no nothing) , I quit the game, go to home and then it just freezes. Nothing working just the screen of home . I removed the battery , flashed other kenel(doom) flashed
lupus back again , none works . When i open it the kernel logo appears , vibrates and then black screen and back again to kernel logo and so on . And another weird thing is that it doesn't want to enter recovery. I push volume up/down in lupus and TWRP or CWM don't work , their logo appears and then freeze there . Please help me I never got something like this on any phone I don't know what to do. Thank you!
Image of lupus kernel you try to flash is broken. No more ideas.
Flashing doom kenrnel over lupus was bad idea as lupes has custom partition layout.
If you havent backup done on lupus cwm, i suggest you to flash any stock firmware and start from scratch.

Well, thanks. I'm already doing that pf i lost lots of games .
Not sure as to why u flashed over from a screen freeze. Entropy tweaks where causing problems in v12 I posted a fixed version in kernels thread until next release.
Lupusv12.img is not broken. Problem is u flashed a kernel which uses stock partitions over one u where running which uses custom partitions. Hence the black screen and not been able to enter recoveries.

[HELP] Can't boot custom kernel

Hey!
I have a problem with my Xperia Play. It is definitely rooted and bootloader unlocked, etc, but when I flash any new kernel, it refuses to boot!
I've tried booting CWM recovery and wiping/resetting everything (cache, user data, etc) but still no dice. I've tried the newest version of LuPuS and Doomkernel, but still nothing.
I was on stock before, not sure what version though.
Never mind, I reinstalled stock firmware then installed Lupus and it worked. Must've been using the wrong stock or something, I don't know.
I had the same problem. Once I tried some ICS ROM and than I wanted revert to GB, reflash FW .79, flash Lupus, flash Gin2Jelly and my phone restarting again and again after kernel logo it always crashed. I must flash FW .79 five times and then it was ok and it's still ok, but in frist moment I thought that I break my phone.
