well, i got my bootloader unlocked and got the device rooted
what is the next step?
tried to enter the recovery mode by pressing the volume down button with the power button but it does not work! the device boots normally!
please tell my what is the nxt step

to enter recovery from a phone that is powered off, you must
1. turn on the phone normally.
2. when led's between the buttons light up press vol up or down (I press up twice and down twice cuz I can never remember the right one) depending on what kernel you have with which version of CWM.
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache
5. advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
6. choose install zip from sd card.
7. install the new rom
The above instructions assume that you have already put the ROM zip file on ur sd card and that you have CWM installed.

To enter recovery you need a CWM based recovery installed.. search for cwm auto installer in the market.. or flash any custom kernel with in built recovery..

[Q] Bricked MIUI Help

I just bought my Arc S a few weeks ago and I Flashed it with MIUI by placing the zip file in the root of my SD card and booting my phone in CWM Recovery mode from there I selected "install zip from sdcard", I choose the MIUI zip and then I rebooted but the problem is it just got stuck on the Sony logo.
I have tried every possible key combination every possibel way and none of the them did anything to my phone, flash mode didn't work and neither did recovery, that means that hard resete won't be an option.
I previously had ICS 4.0.4 with an old kenel, it was rooted and it had CWM, everyhting was going fine until I tried to install MIUI..
I didn't made any previows backups.
Is there any way I can recover my phone to it's factory defaults or do I realy need to lie to sony saying that it stopped working after an official update, because it still has woranty.
Please help, I just bought it I don't want to lose it so fast :crying:
Thanks for reading and sorry if I wrote anything wrong, English isn't my native language
Hi ! Try to go in the recovery, Do : Factory reset, wipe cache. After that, go in "Advanced" => Wipe Dalvik Cache & Battery Stats (Optional) and then, flash again. And make sure your kernel is for MIUI and not Stock Kernel. Sorry for bad english too.
And if he's still stuck on boot logo, download the .ftf files (4.0.4) for Arc S and flash it with Flashtool. (Phone in flashmode, to do that you need ; Remove battery, wait 10 sec, put it, press the back button and connect your ArcS to your PC)

Thanks for the reply but I said that recovery didn't work, I've tried Vol. Down while powering on my phone, pressing both the left and the righ buttons, Vol. Up, Home+Back+Vol Up... But nothing does anything, it's stuck at the sony spash screen..
go to repair with pcc or seus
pc comagnon
sony ericsson update service
or
flashtool and a stock rom 4.0.4

Hm.. If you have Recovery, you should be able to go in.. Push vol - a lot.. I mean like : *push* *push* *push* when you powering your phone.. Or try the flash mode. Download this file , FlashTool (Drivers for Fastboot mode / Flash Mode included).
Install Flashtool, install flash mode drivers (C:\Flashtool\Drivers)
Place the .ftf file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares and follow these step :
1. Remove your battery
2. Wait ~10 sec
3. Put the battery back
4. Launch Flashtool
5. Click on the lightning, select Flashmode
6. Select the .ftf
7. Wait until flashtool ask you to connect your phone
8. Push back button & Connect your phone on your PC. (Keep it push'd for 3-4sec)
If you have "Flash Aborted" try again. (Cause the drivers aren't installed yet )
And if you have used x-parts for install CWM, no more Recovery after update/flash phone.
relax, that was one of the challenge when using custom rom.
all problem seems solved with flash tool
download here: flashtool, get it on "instalation" folder
download the firmware (tft): firmware
follow the step provided by WrathChild08 here
Alright, thanks for all your replys,
Pushing repeatedly the Vol Down button didn't work, I'm going to try the flashtool method.
I'll report back later, thanks again
THANK YOOOUUUU SO MUCH!!
It worked!!!
I used tried flashtool, flashed it with a firmware I had and boom, it worked!
Thanks you :laugh::laugh:
Enjoy your new xperia arc S !

[Q] Flashing boot img from stock to CM10-based ROM

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to flash "codename android jellybean" to my primoc one v.
I have it unlocked and rooted, thanks to xda. Where I get stuck is trying to flash the above ROM to the phone. I have put the ROM, gapps, and jellyboot5 into my SD card, then flashed those zips from clockworkmod recovery. I have put the boot.img I copied from the jellyboot5 folder into my fastboot folder on my PC.
My problem is that when I try to restart the phone from clockworkmod recovery into bootloader, the phone does the nexus animation, then goes straight back into clockworkmod recovery. I can't get to the white screen that gives me the option of choosing fastboot so that I can, in command prompt on my pc, flash the boot img.
I know I must be doing something wrong somewhere.
Hold and keep the power button for 10 second till the screen turns of and as soon as it turns off hold and keep the volume button.... to use see the fast boot...... other way is press and keep the power button and the volume down button for 10 to15 second
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
I was having the same problem I just re started and full wiped and then flashed everything then I used the tool kit to flash the boot.IMG I used to use my cmd prompt but I realized it wasnt even the right boot.IMG flashing as soon as I did the tool kit it worked. Good luck, trust me it did the same thing

I'm trying that but it just sends me right back to clockworkmod recovery. Can I confirm that I did the flashing steps correctly?
0) Wiped
1) flashed ROM
2) flashed GAPPS
3) flashed jellyboot
4) tried to restart into bootloader (but phone goes right back to clockworkmod recovery)
Did I make a mistake somewhere?
If you have ADB set up on your PC, From recovery plug in your phone bring up ADB. Type adb reboot bootloader
Don't try the button thing people have bricked there phone doing the button thing for too long.

Hey Im confused at what stage your at..
if i understand it you've flashed CM10, but *didn't* flash the CM10 compatible kernel... The Stock Kernel isnt compatible with CM.
If this happens one of two things will occur
1. The phone will hang on boot (aka softbrick)
2. the phone will go directly into CWM
I hit the same problem when I first flashed roms on the one v.
You basically need to reboot into the boot loader (flashboot) and flash the new (CM9) compatible kernel from there.
Alterntively if you get totally stuck use the "stockRRU" and recover your phone using that, (see thread on this)

That does sound like what my phone is doing. Initially it went straight into CWM, then it got further but would just hang on the colored "X" nexus animation.
At this point I tried to restore my stock nandroid, but even that wouldn't work, with the phone never getting off the "HTC quietly brilliant beats audio" screen.
As for flashing the correct kernel, was jellyboot5 not the kernel for this CM10 rom? And when I try to restore my stock (ICS) nandroid, does it matter that I've tried to flash a JB kernel, or is the stock kernel also restored?
Thanks for any help.

Dude if you are CDMA download the toolkit and then put the jelly boot boot.IMG in it and then flash it through there when your in fastboot. Trust me.

All right, tried that, phone is still endless stuck in the nexus colored X animation. Will wait another few minutes and then freaking go back to stock using RUU.
Edit: Holy s***, dude, you saved me. I was about to chuck the phone against a wall, until I read that you just did the entire process again, from wiping to flashing the rom, to flashing the boot image using the all-in-one tool. That did the trick. For about ten minutes I was seriously contemplating getting an iPhone. That's how dire this was. Thanks man!!!!!
dude,
ok I'll caveat this by saying I live in the uk so I have a GSM (primoU) not CDMA so I take no responsibility if this goes wrong.,...,
I'm guessing your using the rom in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927794
Reading the thread, here's what I think you should do the following
(Im assuming you've already flashed clockwork mod recovery)
Assumptions
1. You have already unlocked the phone using the HTC unlock procedure
2. You have already installed Clockworkmod recovery
Download the following :
- One All in one toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
- ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?ldhwd8vki17mbfe
- Kernel from http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/primoc/kernels/JellyBoot5.zip
- CM10 compatible GoogleApps (GAPS) http://cyano-rob.tuennerhoff-edv.de/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
steps
1. Copy the ROM onto the microSD, in a folder called say "rom", do not unzip it
2. Switch phone off by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds or so
3. Disconnect USB from the PC
4. Enter fastboot by first pressing and holding "volume - " and then pressing power button once and keep pressing "Volume - "
>>>>>> DO NOT PRESS "VOLUME+" <<< Important
The phone should reboot into fastboot
5. connect USB to PC
6. select fastboot (using vol +/- and press power)
Fastboot should now say "fastboot USB"
8. Unzip/install the All-In-One toolkit somewhere.. We wont be using it here, but installing this gives you fastboot/adb etc
9. Unzip the kernel from the kernel file, you should have a boot.img and put it in the kernels directory
9. cd <DirectoryOfAllInOneToolKit>/Data directory
10. Issue "fastboot flash boot Kernels/boot.img"
This should say something like sending boot.img, and then flashing boot.img..
11. Reboot phone with fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will bring you back to the fastboot screen, select recovery and that should bring you to Clockwork mod
12. select "install zip from zipfile", then choose-zip from SD Card, select your rom (zipfile) and say flash.
(hint : vol +/- go up down, and power selects)
13. When this is done, then install GAPS in the same way..
14. Finally you need to make sure all the caches and data is wiped. to do this enter the wipe menu and issue "factory reset/wipe data" and wipe dalvik cache
15. Finally select reboot and smile
That should be it! I O
Oh before i forget, the AllInOne package is cool, but as your in a semi brick situation and that all in one requires adb support Im not sure what it will do hence detailing the steps manually above.. For newbies this tutorial is still valid, but you need to unlock your phone first and install CWM . If you are coming from stock I would recommend using the all in one tool (above) GUI as it saves typing!
Hope this helps

I guess so, however you would need to check each different rom to be sure..
Also cybervibin is right, before rebooting the phone it is recommended to
- go into clockworkmod recovery, wipe menu and wipe data/factory reset
- also wipe dalvik cache

Roger that,
Dalvik cache, is the place where all ur apps cache are stored., of u don't wipe it, in short it will show data if previous rom causing many problems

[Q] Installing custom ROM on Arc S

Hi guys, new here. My phone's warranty has expired and I have already rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Right now I'm on 4.0.2.A.0.62 and I want to install a custom ROM (Racing Bean). From what I know, I have to install Fusion kernel to use the ROM, I have already downloaded V3.1 Racing Bean, Arc Fusion (Version 5) and the Fusion Addons, all in RAR format. But now I'm stuck, I do not know what to do next, care to help me? I have installed Flashtool too. I need a step by step guide cause this is my only phone so if anything goes wrong (hopefully not since I root my phone myself through guides on the web), I got to fork out a sum of money to get a new phone... Also, do I need to backup 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware so that I can use it back if there's problems with the custom ROM? X-Parts is also installed on my android. Sorry if this question has already been posted before, I know that different ROM requires different kernel and have different procedures, so I don't want to take the risk. Thanks in advance!!!
Download a stock ftf file which you can use in case anything goes wrong. Don't worry the chances of a hard brick by flashing a kernel or ROM is extremely low.
You've downloaded fusion right? Extract the boot.IMG and place it in a folder of your choice.
Backup everything on your internal memory that you need on your phone and copy over your ROM zip file to the root of your SD card. SD cards are not affected.
Switch the phone off and press the menu button while connecting it to the USB (still off). There should be a blue LED.
Press the lightning icon on flash tool, select fastboot mode, navigate to the location of your boot.IMG and press ok. The flash will start automatically and it takes about 1-3 seconds.
Disconnect your phone and boot it. After you press power button repeatedly press volume down to get into recovery mode.
In recovery, do a system wipe and a cache wipe (volume buttons to navigate, home to select). Then install your ROM from SD card. For some ROMs you'll need gapps too but racing bean has it already.
The install will take some time. After it has finished reboot the phone. If successful (for your case) you'll see the fusion logo and the "X" (nexus) boot animation. First boot takes a while so be patient.
Leave the ROM for a few hours to settle.
Btw there's loads of guides on this and everything else on xda. Next time just use the search button.

i think u should first upgrade to ics first & then followthe same steps as given
1.Download Racing Bean and a 4.1.2 kernel (recommended Fusion)
2.Place the Wi-Fi modules and Racing Bean on your SDcard
3.Flash your chosen kernel via Flashtool, then boot your phone to recovery
4.Wipe data and format /system
5.Flash Racing Bean and Wi-Fi modules
6. Reboot and have Mess around
7. Flash either usb fix OR On screen buttons addon.

Did you flash the correct kernel? You can't expect it to boot after using ROM Manager without changing to the correct kernel.

Step by Step Flashing a Custom Rom, from Stock /w auto rooting
For Arc (lt15i) // Unlocked BL
You can use this guide, on any custom rom.
I'm using Ultimate HD 3.0.2 when build this guide.
For who kinda new of using flashtool or installing / flashing and rooting a rom.
Preparation
. Copy your custom rom.zip to your sd card ( ex: UHD 3.0.2.zip )
. Copy your custom kernel wifi modules.zip to your sd card ( ex: modules.zip ) *you can get the modules, from the custom kernel thread you use
. I'm using Flashtool 0.9.9.0 *it's ok to use a newer version, haven't try it for older version though
. Download recommended base rom (ICS) => LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).zip : dropbox // dev-host
*It's stock firmware of 4.1.B.0.587 for Arc S, i used it to increase system partition memory from 380mb to 420mb.
A. Back to official rom (unrooted).
========================
. Open flashtool, then click flash button (lighting icon). Choose Flashmode then ok.
. Select LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716) // wipe data , cache, apps log is checked // All exclude, unchecked // No final verification checked then click ok
. After a notification to plugin ur device pop up, connect ur phone (with power is off) while pressing the back key
(it's the left one, not the right one.. the picture on the flashtool is using different device).
. If ur doing right, the led phone will turn green and it will automatically flashing the phone
. After finish 100%, unplugged ur phone.
. Don't turn on the phone yet... let straight to step B
B. Install custom kernel
========================
. With phone still power off, connect ur phone to pc, but with holding the menu key now (the right one).
. If ur doing right, the led phone will turn blue and in the flashtool screen you will see that ur phone is in fastboot mode ( this is the mode u will often use if u wanna change different custom kernel).
. Click flash button (lighting icon). Choose fastboot then ok. A menu will pop up, choose 'Select kernel to Flash'
. Open ur desire custom kernel (file with this extension -> *.elf / *.img / *.sin ).
. It will automatically install after u choose to open it.
. Close it after finish
note :
. Choose kernel that have recovery mode on it. ex: CWM (Clockwork Mod) or TWRP. (Mostly user is familiar with CWM)
. In my case, i'm using Vengeance [ARC/S/PRO][1.32] kernel now. I choose Anzu, because my device is Arc. Also don't forget to download modules.zip, it's for wifi.
. There are many good kernel available for arc/s user like Lupus, Rush, Adv. Stock Kernel, etc, choose what suit for you
C. Install custom rom
========================
. Turn on ur phone now then keep pressing volume down to enter CWM.
. Standard operation before installing new rom :
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
. Now install zip from sdcard -> choose the UHD zip file, and follow the instruction in aroma. After finish don't reboot yet.
. Unchecked the reboot in aroma, after finish, u will be back in cwm.
. Now install the wifi modules first ( usually the custom kernel have their own wifi modules).
. reboot system.
. Finish
. Do the steps above, and u will not having bootloop.
. No need to thinking about rooting, Ur device is already root now because mostly cusrom and cus-kernel now is pre-rooted.
. Personally I usually never goes to step 1. Just because stuck on sony logo, i'm doing that just once
This is just for beginner who want to clean wipe, and face a hardtime because stuck / bootloop.
For me, just having stuck on sony logo, or other stuff, I'm just doing from step 3. Back again to cwm, and installed over...

use always CWM when flash rom

Wildfire problem with CWM

Hi
i receive yesterday phone for my daughter, so i done hboot, s-off, recovery CWM
problem is when i try install any rom, i going to recovery mode and everything is fine, when i try install from sd card in empty screen, any other options same cwm its show me only first menu nothing else
Regards
Pl rephrase your question.
Here is what I feel will work:
Change your recovery to a stable one
Go to fastboot menu, even on pc go to fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery itsnamehere.img
If it is successfully flashed, go to recovery mode.
Hope you have put a ROM(and gapps) on sd.
Wipe Dalvik, cache, data.
Then flash the ROM and gapps.
Reboot.

Oh your problem isnt a problem.
Newer recoveries switch screen off on pressing power button. To accept you have to press trackball button.
(If you hv solved the prob,well & good, it's just that I cant figure out your language)
