What does it mean when the Notification Light is blue when the Arc S boots?

it is a sign to hit a button to enter recovery if you're using custom kernel

I've been using the CWM boot to recovery option in the installer to boot to recovery, is it safe to uninstall the CWM Auto installer or does it need to be installed for CWM to work.

Since I upgraded my Arc S with the official update, the blue light is quite often flashing for no apparent reason when the phone is on, e.g. no sms, emails, missed calls etc. Does anyone know what that indicates? I know you've said it means about entering recovery when booting, but this is when the phone is fully booted. Cheers

Hi,i accidentally formatted my system through CWM. This caused my phone to hard reset everytime i reboot the phone and i cant download anything from play store.
Plus, in storage, it shows my internal memory is 0 kb. And i cant flash using flashtool, it shows flash aborted...
Any solution?
On the other hand, will it kill my pjone if i use seus? Im unlockes BL and using custom kernel...

Is it possible to have a command in power menu to have reboot in CWM without flashing any roms? I sort of like the stock rom, it hasnt pushed me to install anything else for now but i am in need of a reboot to cwm, is it doable?
Are you talking about a 4 way reboot menu?

Download quickboot from the play store then create a short cut to recovery on your home screen, its not in power menu but i hope it helps

Not ideal, but I just reboot using terminal:
Code:

i just want to grab some files! before restore
u will need flash a custom recovery 1st then will be able to backup,
If you were on stock rom , I've noticed during Boot Loop if you flash the Stock rom will not wipe your data only Messages, contacts and Call log will be wiped.
If you follow my way you won't lose any files.
But you can backup everything via adb.

That's a kernel and not a recovery.
Download a recovery in .Tar format.
Flash it the same way you rooted.

Firstly, before anyone can truly help you you need to mention your phone setup such as the Rom you're using, rooted/not rooted, etc.
If you're rooted and have a custom recovery then just wipe your system and dalvik cache partition and flash the same Rom again. All your personal files will still be intact.

i mentioned that i am rooted i didnt say which rom because i am in custom ROM so i didnt think about it
Pull yur battery out. Put it back in and go into recovery by holding power + home button + volume up. Release power button on the first bootscreen. Maybe u pressed the volume down.

Please some one help me. I have MIUI installed on my Xperia S with unlocked bootloader. After flashing MIUI ROM I am not able to boot into recovery.Previous method (taping sony logo) is not working at all. Please some one help me. I need to get into recovery and change this ROM. Thanks in advance....
Dude,
If your on v5 like me.
Hold your power button, chose reboot from the menu.
The options should then be reboot, recovery and then boot loader.
Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, I have tried, but reboot menu only have one item. Which is a normal reboot. Btw, I am on V4. I have tried some app like Quickboot, Rom manager etc but when I tap reboot to recovery button it performs a normal reboot. Not booting into recovery...
Is v4 running off the fxp kernel? Using cm10 as a base?
If so when it boots up and shows free xperia logo. And your led goes purple press up on the volume to get in to recovery.

I think it has stock MIUI kernel. And when booting first it shows a sony white logo (not sony ericsson) and then MIUI logo. I tried keep pressing volume up but no luck. And there is no LED lights up at all...
Have you tried the volume buttons when the Sony logo appears?
Try both up and down.

Yes...I tried both. When I press volume down button it reboots into Safe mode.
The only other thing I can think of is to re install your recovery.
If that don't work extract your recovery files and then use flash tool to revert back to stock.
Then install recovery and drop the files back in.
