I know this has been asked before, but I just can't find a answer. I am really new to this and just wanted to use cyanogenmod because I heard it makes your phone faster.
Ok, so I really want to get Cyanogenmod (should I ask this on they're forums?) on my xperia arc, it was rogers branded, lt15a, .42. So apparently it wasn't for lt15a, so I spent hours trying to find a working rom for lt15i .42, and finally I did it. So I flashed to it and root it and get my stuff off my titanium backup, and go to install cyanogenmod from the clockworkmod menu (I installed it from xperia cwm auto-install). I go down to install from zip, blah blah blah select cyanogen's .zip, and get assert prop error lt18i. That was weird, because on the zip it says its for lt15i, and it said lt15i before when I tried using my lt15a. So I read something on here that said to remove the assert prop stuff from the updater-service file or something, so I did that. I went to install cyanogenmod and it said it was successful and it rebooted my phone. It went to the sony ericsson logo, and wouldn't leave. I go to restore it using the PC Companion update, but it just says it can't detect it. So I go to use flashtool and none of them work. But it said to turn off the phone, obviously it wouldn't turn off, so I took out the battery. Now it just won't turn back on! Have I permanantly bricked it? I can't send it in, because it had root checker and stuff on there. What do I do?
Sorry for the wall of text
Didnt you take a backup before installing the zip???
If so...just restore it through CWM.

It took a long time, many errors, but I do have a backup in rom manager from before I started trying to use cyanogenmod. But it didn't work when I tried it before I bricked my device, and I can't access CWM because I get stuck on sony ericsson and won't let me pass
have you tried flashing a .img via fastboot? you say your device wont turn off after you took out the battery. However can you still put it in flashmode? getting stuck on the boot logo, for me it seems like you didn't use the fxp kernel.

and for me also... (fxp works only with theirs kernel)
try to flash fxp kernel and than restart your phone... if needed reinstall zip from sd card.
good luck!

How would I do that? Google only gives me results like TeamXperia roms.

The screen shuts off when I take out the battery, but when the device is on it doesn't shut off unless I take the battery out and put it back in.

If your software update fails, the phone cannot be powered on properly. When you press the Power key, the phone vibrates and for a few seconds the display either shows Sony Ericsson in grey, or a warning triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and telephone symbol.
The phone then turns off and remains off. To fix this problem, connect the phone to PC Companion again, click start under Phone software update and click on the repair phone link
If the update does not start charge your battery. You need at least 40% battery power to initiate a software update. Charge the phone and then reconnect it to PC Companion.
Don’t use hubs and docks, connect the phone’s USB cable directly to the computer’s USB port. Do not remove or attach any other USB device during the update.

Hey there! I have just bought an xperia arc s lt18i. I am not a noob or new in android so u can answer my doubts normally, I will understand u lol!
I had a galaxy s sl and I think everything was quite different and easier. galaxy s (i9000) ROMS, firmwares, kernels, mods, etc weren't compatible with mine (i9003) and flashing them automatically bricks the phone. I have been reading a lot here and I still don't understand something...
--Are xperia arc and xperia arc s firmwares, roms, kernels and mods compatible with each other? Because I was going to root my lt18i (currently on official ics), I was downloading everything to follow the steps and I noticed I had downloaded the 2.3.4 firmware: LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42. Can I flash this with flashtools? Isn't this an arc firmware or can I flash it in my arc s? Everything is being a bit difficult to me since it is absolutely different to samsung devices and since here there are a looot of tutorials saying similar but not same things...
Hope u understand me and can help me with this.
Thank u
Hi
Flashing arc <--> arc S work normally, if you wipe, if you don't, I would say 50:50=work:not work.
Always remember: Settings will always show that, you flashed. E.g you flashed arc FW on arc S, Settings will show arc.
And it's always better to flash the right Firmware.
If you still have questions, ask them. And press Thanks0

PS: PM me if you are a Rubiks Cube lover.
Well, the idea is, that Xperia Arc S is the same to Arc except for the stronger hardware. They share the same software, Arc S just run it smoother, and the games on Arc S feels better, etc.
If a ROM can be run on the Arc then it can run on Arc S. Except for a few cases that the developer HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED the ROM for one of the two device, then the other device will receive bugs (but no brick).
To be honest, I don't feel the difference in Arc and Arc S (I own a few smartphone shops in VietNam). The difference can only be spotted within games, the Arc S does last longer in battery life though
Thanks for ur replies!

Driver has nothing to do with phone not going to fastboot.
If notification LED, the LED next to microUSB, doesn't turn led, then 2 choices:
1) You are doing it wrong - Turn off phone, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable to phone.
2) Your phone is SIM-locked and/or branded - Fastboot is disabled. Only way is via paid method.
So i have to unlock bootloader? But if there are roms also for locked bl is because locked bl can also access to fastboot mode. Am i right?
So what must i do? How? Where can i unlock it the cheapest way? Thank u very much for ur answers!

I have never come across this issue, but if I had that problem, I would most definitely flash the firmware again just to make sure I get a clean, issue-free phone. Do note however, flashing does fail on occasions so flashing more than once is sometimes necessary.
Good luck!
I TRIED Flashing many times but i think, its not even flashing because it says at the end after saying flashing has ended that to Enable usb Debugging but i cant do that!!! also flashing takes 10 seconds and according to what i saw on you tube videos it should take 2 min

hmm strange. You don't need to enable debugging mode to flash a new rom. Are you using the latest flashtool? and are you flashing a kernel instead of a rom? :/

i am using flashtool 0.9.6.0 and i followed instructions from this site
ww.androidlegend.com/how-to-root-sony-xperia-arc-s-lt18i-running-ics-4-0-4-firmware
i got flash tool then downloaded ICS 4.0.3 Firmware (4.1.A.0.562).\
i flashed but it seems it didnt work because theflashing happened very quickly like 10sec but i saw in some youtube videos that it should take 2-3min
theses are the last 4 lines in the flashtool
06/030/2012 22:30:03 - INFO - Flashing finished..
06/030/2012 22:30:03 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
06/030/2012 22:30:03 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
06/030/2012 22:30:04 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
i think its telling me i should check the debugging option but i cant do that
when i try to root nothing happens just says waiting for device
+ if i try to turn on the phone it just says after the Sony Ericsson logo the phone has crashed and violet led flashes and just keeps restarting

Hi, I rooted my phone (xperia play r800i) and unlocked it, and put the CM9 rom on it.
Now I would like to return to my normal official rom.
How can I do it?
Download the ftf for your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24610138
Download and install flashtool
Open flashtool
Enable USB debugging on your phone
Plug in your phone
Drag the ftf to flashtool window
Turn off phone, hold back key, plug in again
Wait and done.

Open flashtool, drag the ftf to flashtool and it will start loading, then just follow and wait.

Hey buddy the Flashtool is bugfree is never wrong. If it asks for you to install the drivers DO IT and I dont believe if you installed them correctly. In order to install the drivers correctly go into your flashtool in your C drive and find a folder called Drivers. There is a .exe and you must accept all the permissions.

right, well, I did it, tell me if it right to choose:
1. Sony Ericsson Experia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia arco IS11S, Xperia arco SO-02C drivers
2. Flashmode drivers
3. Fastboot drivers
am I missing something that I need?

the issue is that the ftf file you are using isn't compatible with your model.

I tried the generic UK, but I`m not from UK.. there isn`t anyone there that is to my location (IL)..
I was having the same problem. So, I just install Dixperia 2. Good speed, Xperia game launcher, playstation pocket, full touchpad and controls...
Highly recommended.

Turn off your phone
1-Open flashtool
2-Select flash
3-Select flashmode
4-Select your .ftf
5-Select OK
6-A window appear witch ask you to plug your phone while you press back button.
7-DO it and voila
A full ftf take approximately 2 or 3 mn to flash.
If you haven't any space left on your C: you must have a message of error when it prepare file before the warning window.

Not too sure what you mean "to flash as kernel". If you mean fastboot mode no. You want to enter flashmode. Holding Back key while connecting usb led turns green. Then selecctyour ftf and your good to go

no, I meant, in the "Firmware Selection" window, you need to choose the .ftf file, and what the .ftf file is meant to, for exmple, kernel.sin or loader.sin, so I need to choose kernel.sin right?
but, the bigger problem is the:

that error is because the firmware isn't compatible with your device.

Please note the .ftf is thr firmware you are going to flash.
The kernel is .img eg(doomkernelv14.img)
Before you flash a firmware of kernel you must install some drivers for the xperia PLAY.
Go to flashtool /drivers
Install the two xperia play drivers
Then you can start flashing firmwares and whatever
Hit thanks if this helped
You may ask me (xperia gamer) any question.
Thank you
