[HELP]Xperia Arc LT15i stuck on SONY after installing Xperia Ice Bean

Hi
After attempting to install Xperia Ice Bean on my Xperia LT15i awhile ago then reboot the phone, I am now astuck on SONY Logo. Itried giving n 10 minutes to wait for the tools to be installed however, I still got this SONY logo. I performed full reboot by removing the battery and still getting the same.
Now, I'm trying to revive my phone by installing the stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4.
Can somebody help me on this. I'm so nervous already that I might not be able to revive my phone.
Please I need your help guys ASAP.
BTW I'm using LT15i running on Rooted ICS 4.0.4 with the updated Busybox installed.
Managed to install CWM.
Here's what happened.
I have to tell it honestly. I didn't follow the instructions on how to correctly install the ROM. I just mount the sdcard and install the zip without even wiping the data and doing factory reset. I know its wrong but I still did it.
Can somebody assist me on this.
Thanks, I can donate some of my cash to your build if I revive my phone back.

Assuming you can get into flash mode, just reflash stock Rom available in the general arc section, use flashtools for this.
After you get stock back you are at the point of decision, do you stick with current set up or try custom roms, remember custom roms sometimes need custom kernels as well so you will need unlocked bootloader to send them via fastboot.
I have found some custom roms don't work I too get blank screens etc, but have installed the pureness build and it runs well

Xperia Arc S Stuck on "Sony" Logo after failing to Flash!

Hey there!
I am from germany, watched a bunch of tutorials on how to root & install custom roms.
Today i decided to download Cyanogen Mod 9.1 on my Xperia Arc S ( Lt18i) android 4.0.4
I rooted the phone, checked it with an application that tells you if its rooted or not.
I flashed the Kernel, launched CWM and started installing Cyanogen Mod. I still believe it got stuck on "Installing update..." after about 5 minutes so i pulled out the battery.
When i try to switch on my phone now, it only shows the "Sony" Logo like forever, i can not to anything. Please please help me!
Flashing the Kernel back with Flashtools, pretty much the only thing i can do doesnt work
Thank you in advance, greetings Donlu

All you have to do is find .ftf file of software you need and flash it with flashtool and everthing will be fine.Good luck!

But what is that? :S The ftf from cyanogen mod? How can i get Cyanogen mod to work now? :S

The stock .ftf file. It restores the original firmware to your phone. Then restart flashing process again. I believe it's somewhere in the general or development section

Hi, if you want to install cyanogenmod you must flash kernel which included in zip file.
Check again in zip file, than flash that. (named boot.img)
If sony logo still appear you fail flashing kernel

[Q] Xperia Acro S 6.2.b.1.96 Rooting Issue

Device info:
Acro S running stock 6.2.b.1.96 with locked bootloader
This is what I believe is the process in short:
Flash 6.2.B.0.211 Kernel
Use DoomLord's one click root .bat
Flash 6.2.b.1.96 Kernel
I am getting stuck on the second step. The batch file says "LT26w (6.2.B.1.96) is not supported". My question is, shouldn't flashing a kernel change the build number? Am I goofing up somewhere? Feels stupid when the same thing works for everyone else so there are no similar posts.
Thank you for your time.
Edit: Note to Mods
Missed the sticky about posting the questions in the sub-forum. Tried deleting this to no avail.

are you using the root kit doomlord recomended to use?
its also version spesific as he mentioned

I'll be damned. Was using v16 instead of v18 of his easy rooting toolkit. Solved. Thanks man for pointing it out.

Great to hear you're sorted. I'm looking to get my Acro S rooted over the next week or two and I wondered if I could ask you a couple of quick questions please?
Did you back up your apps and data before rooting?
How did you get to flash the earlier FW? Flashtool seems to say disconnect usb, turn off, then press and hold the back button , the reconnect the usb lead and turn back on - I have tried this but nothing seems to happen
I have installed Flashtool and the adb drivers.
Any pointers you can give would be great.
Cheers,
John

Flashing .211 FW issue
Hi guys. I'm encountering an issue with my acro S that has .96 firmware. I've been trying to flash the .211 FW for a couple of times but still stuck with the .96. As per the threads abt flashing, it takes minutes but mine just takes a couple of seconds. As of the moment I deleted the flashtool and currently dloading it again. Just not sure that could be the problem. Any help?

First of all you flash the whole .96 firmware, then .211 kernel and then root (make sure unkown resources and usb debuggin checked) and watch on ur phone and accept superuser permission... then flash back .96 kernel....

Nope. No need. Since you are just flashing the kernel, you dont lose any data. If you are really new to this, it wouldnt hurt to take a backup, in case things go south.
In any case, the link ronin1728 posted looks great and hassle free.

Even if you flash the .211 kernel (NOT the whole firmware), the build number will still show as .96 but the easy rooting toolkit will read it as .211.
Check out ronin1728's link for an easier alternative.

Belated thanks for the advice folks,
I followed Ronins link to vroot and it worked like a charm
Now to start getting rid of some bloatware......

Fixed!!! Using the Sony update service.. What a relief!! Do we need to flash the kernel or its done tog with flashing the ROM?
Besides unlocking boatloader, install cwm, root the phone, what else need to be done before flashing?

[Q] [HELP] Boot animation, Splash screen and charge animatiom

So, I switched from Speed Rebirth ROM to Micro note ROM v2. Here are my problems...
1. Since I switched Roms, my splash animation is still "XPERIA SONY SMARTPHONE"
2. Also, the boot animation and shutdown animation is of "Samsung"
3. When I try to charge my phone powered off, the charge animation doesn't move and never times out...but the red led is on.
Can someone please tell me how to get back all the stock animations and fix the phone off-charge problem ?
Also, how to overclock my device ?(optional)
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!! Please help me asap...

Flash stock rom using sp tools

I dont want to go back to stock rom
Hi, thanks for your speedy reply... I really like the micro note ROM and don't want to go back to stock. Can you suggest some other alternative such that I get to keep my current ROM and the above problems are solved. Perhaps, replacing the ROM files with stock ones,... Pleas help me !!! My phone works perfectly except for these issues...

Flash stock rom & then flash micronote, this is how u can solve this problem as far as I know.... Keep a backup of ur internal memory while flashing stock rom

A little more help...

just after downloading the files go to cwm recovery mode choose instal from sd card
select the boot zip and flash it , it should solve the boot logo only
and if you flash the second file you will be able to change the boot animation too
but flashing the boot logo should solve the charginig animation too..

I am facing the exact same problem. Can you tell me that given zips are working are not? I too dont want that xperia logo.
P.s. thanks yogesh for uploading them.
