[Q] Flashing a baseband - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just to verify the process, here is the situation: I have an Arc, running stock ICS kernel with JJ's hybrid ROM v2. I originally had baseband 56, and just yesterday flashed baseband 70 on it. However, I was wondering if it was necessary (for full functionality) to reflash the kernel and ROM, or am I safe having only flashed the baseband?

You'll need to boot a kernel using fastboot. Check the dev forums for an appropriate kernel if there's no link in the thread.

Well, I already have a running kernel and ROM, I'm just curious to whether or not I need to RE-flash those things. My phone is still working now that I've flashed baseband 70 and haven't RE-flashed the kernel or ROM.

[Q] Problem with kernel and booting up.

Hello. So I tried to install a Franco kernel and it didn´t go well. Now my GNex won´t boot-up. It have happaned before with franco kernel. Then I reinstalled ROM and had to wipe all data. So my question: is there any way to get my device to bootup without reseting. Fortunately I have made Titanium backup so everything isn´t lost.

Its a AOKP rom and I don´t know the exact kernel because I downloaded it with the franco.kernel app. The app said it´s the latest and stable version. ( I have tried to install different kernels with Nexus Root Toolkit.)
Be aware that 4.2.2 kernels are not compatible with 4.2.1 or lower ROMs.
The latest franco APP 8.8.4 will install a 4.2.2 kernel.
If you did that, you have to re flash other compatible kernel .

there should be a boot.img inside the zip file for the rom you are on. pull that and flash it in fastboot.

Might be the fact it's on your second slot. I don't have those issues, so it could be that.
Well, I've actually had a video conversation on Skype on PAC Rom + turbo kernel 3.1 without any issue. Rom is in internal memory(1st slot).
I don't know about other issues mentioned as I'm only using microphone for Skype (rarely) and obviously I'm using it in-call

download a new one of the rom(make sure it multiboot aware). and make sure the size of the zip is correct (something u will get a corrupt zip).
u should make a clean install,flash back phoenix vendor ftf. boot up. flash turbo v3.1 kernel back .wipe data,cache, system. and flash the rom again.
because there is no non such issue.

For every boot slot.. u need to set manually to GB ICS OR JB.. are you doing that ??
Yeah, I have done that (downloading new roms and the kernel again) and now the Rom (gb or ics any) in the first slot is working. But in the 2nd slot none of the roms worked. I read the multiboot kernel guide also.
Any idea for working rom in the 2nd slot.
Thanks

What is 1st slot rom and 2nd slot rom? And tell me how did u install 2nd rom? What kernel u using(version) ? Did u flash the Phoenix vendor ftf?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
First of all I flashed the phoenix vendor ftf file then booted my phone and after successfully booting it to stock gb I shut it off.
Then I have flashed the turbo kernel v3.1 and then went to recovery and wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and flashed the ics Rom (zip already present in sd card) in slot 1. Then rebooted and successfully booted to ics.
Then I again rebooted to recovery and created slot 2 for gb rom with more system & user data space. And wiped data, cache & dalvik cache. And flashed auroraplay rom and restarted BUT ON RESTARTING THE PHONE FREEZES at the boot. I have also waited about 15mins but no luck.
Details -
Recovery - turbo kernel v3.1
Slot 1 - ICS Rom
Slot 2 - GB Rom
SD Card - Class 4
Has anybody else got a problem like this.
BTW thanks again everyone for the help.

It's kernel related. You have to find kernel that support higher overclock.

There is various kernels in the Original development thread that support overclock.
Make sure yo read the OP and figure out which is best for you and your phone.

Could be a few issues.
You could be on an old version of JellyBam that does not use the 3.4 kernel. You also could have downloaded the wrong kernel from the page linked. If you could give us your ROM version that would help.
Its 7.5.0
But do u have to flash a kernel with odin

Kernels are flashed in recovery, not Odin. The problem may be the recent display changes in KT's kernel. You may want to check his thread for an earlier build (pre 4/19) before the display commits were added.

correct. flash his 4/11 release.
and if you ever find yourself in a bootloop from flashing the wrong kernel, just flash the correct kernel in recovery. wipe cache/dalvik, fix permissions and reboot. good to go without having to restore or reset anything.
also, i'd stick with ROMs in this forum that are supported by the dev.

[Q] Need help with installing Slimbean on Xperia S

Hello, I have Xperia S with the latest firmware 6.2.B.1.96, which I have root using the Doomlord method, and then TA Backup my DRM keys.
And now, I want to flash Slimbean on it, and regarding to this thread, I need to flash the official kernel first before flashing the rom? since I'm using the Sony stock firmware? or I don't need to?
Thanks.

Ah yes, I know I have to unlock my bootloader before installing a custom rom, but just wanted to make sure I have done everything before installing Slimbean, like whether or not I should flash this kernel first before proceeding or not since I already have the latest stock firmware on my XS?
Thanks.
Hi,
Yes. You need to flash the kernel before proceeding.
Extract the Kernel from zip file(ROM) and flash it.

Chandru.

Um, by kernel you mean boot.img right? Which one? From the Slim-nozomi-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.zip or Kernel from OFFICIAL release build 2.5 ?
Oh, I'm trying to find Gapps for this ROM from the slimbean website, but just couldn't find the 4.2.2 version for this ROM..
Thanks!
