you should use the right kernel with the right ROM. Check in the ROM description, all are saying what kernels are recommended.

I think your phone got bricked. Please update the original xperia arc s software
in your phone. This was happened in my Xperia X8

Ah, it's not bricked. The phone is doesn't boot because of wrong kernel.

Help me rescue my lil bro's Xperia Play

Evening all,
Im posting on behalf of my little brother so go easy on me, My little brother flashed a rom on his xperia play using ROM Manager (i think it was called mark ICS rom) now when he boots his phone it goes into the usual sony Ericsson splash screen for about 20 seconds that splash screen disappears but the screen stays on with no activity at all.
Does anyone know how to rescue his phone?

Have you tried reflashing the stock FTF using the Flashtool?
Pulling the battery, putting the device in flashmode and reflashing the stock FTF should take care of it, hopefully.
did he flash the actual ICS kernel before booting the phone?

That is your problem he never flashed an ICS kernel. Which has to be done in fastboot mode. Use flashtool or
Code:
fastboot flash boot (kernelname).img
You cant boot an ICS ROM with GB kernel...

Hi, you must get flashtool then a FTF file (can be uk, world etc).
Do as flashboot with the FTF file then your brothers phone is fixed
if you want to return the mobile phone to be guaranteed, download the FTF from a previous version 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 and then relock bootloader does it with a FTF.
After that makes the update by sony pc companion to 2.3.4.
And is his bootloader unlocked?

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.
> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Android Development > [KERNEL][PLAY] LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9][LINARO 4.7.3][19-06-13]
It's working fine for me.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.
But i'm sure that Emma (son'ys flashtool for unlocked BL) will work. Here is a link

but after restarting the device after the flash, it vibrates once and then does nothing. I don't even see the SONY logo. The screen doesn't light up at all.
I was able to fix this by flashing the stock ROM from flashtool.
But did I do something wrong? Is there anyway which I can get the ROM working?
did it say flash successful?

Have you unlocked your bootloader first? If you have then try flashing the kernel from the rom seperately using fastboot. By the way are any other roms with custom kernels working or are they all giving same errors? By the way did you face any error while flashing?

What do you mean the phone came with unlocked bootloader. Are you sure you bought a new phone? Tell me whats your Bootloader Unlocked Status.

Can you describe how exactly is it "Dead'? Is it not booting or even responding to hard reset (Pressing Vol Up + Power Buttons for 10-15 secs)? Are you able to get fastboot or adb access to your phone?

Hi, I am New to Xda.
Hi,
I am not a dev. But Love towards my Xperia SL made me a mini-dev LOL. I have succesfully fixed a developing ROM from Carbon(kitkat 4.4.4) . I would like to upload it to Xda and help poor teens like me (I am just 15) still stuck with SL. I renamed my ROM as ASTERISK. Can someone tell me how to upload a new rom to Xda.
Thanks in advance,

Xperia S and SL are same hardware, so what ever works on Xperia S works on Xperia SL, and given that there is Nougat ROM available, I wouldn't say that it is stuck. You should ask the developer of the Carbon ROM if You can upload a modified one.

Please Help Fix My Bricked Xperia Arc S

Hello geeks, please help me out wai, I was updating my xperia arc s via OTA and dumsor happened all I could do is watch my run out of battery and go off, when the light was in, I powered my phone on just to see it stuck in a boot loop with xperia on the screen that's all. I flashed it with xpreia flash tool using ICS 4.0.4 since that's the FW version it had before but still it remained in boot loop just as it was before, I then downgraded to gingerbread and still stick in boot loop.Hmmm am worried indeed can someone please help me out? maybe recommend a different software for the flashing cos I Google and all they recommend is the flashtool I had used before. Plsssss Help
