If your bootloader is unlocked then in fastboot use 'fastboot erase boot' and try again.

same error...

is there another method to flash baseband on phone?
using fastboot i flashed kernel, system and userdata, but the phone is not connect to network (I am on baseband -64)

Try changing the ftf into zip file and unpack the contents, try flashing those separate files using fastboot.. Hope it works but am not sure

there is some verfification box that must be checked when u choose something like exclude baseband

I installed the system,kernel and userdata without baseband(via fastboot), but not connecting to the network with baseband 64

Lets get things straight!
Did you flash the baseband libraries before flashing .64?

[Q] Dead Arc

Im in a big fix right now. What i did was that i downloaded the desire hd file of the miui 4 rom and put that into the jason stein's speed porting software and started auto flash ever since my phone has't fully powered up. It doesnt get past the doomlord logo. I have tried to flash .42 firmware via flashtool and a prerooted one using fastboot but no luck. I even flashed your miui kernel and flashed the latest miui(for the arc) and it still doesnt go past the doomlord logo, Pleasee help

If you flash, say a stock ftf Rom you will not get dooms start up logo display, that is unless you then fastboot dooms kernel.

Okay, if you flash a stock ftf using flashtool it should boot up. Maybe your flashtool is corrupt, try downloading a fresh copy and a fresh ftf, surly then it should work.

You need the Kernel of the MIUI, im has the same issue, and done flashing with new kernel. Good Luck.

What I did..replaced the kernel in the speed porting software with the doomlord one. . and it worked a smooth!

How would i flash the kernel using command prompt? Sorry im abit of a noob command prompt. Or do you mean using fast boot??
And i can only find the rom for arc i cant find it for lt18
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2
Yea I meant to flash thru fastboot mode .
Download the kernel.sin file(of stock Rom).
Copy it to the same folder where you have your fastboot file.
If you are running windows 7,hold shift button and right click inside the folder and select "OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE"...
If you are running windows xp,open command prompt from start menu and type "cd PATH TO FASTBOOT FOLDER"...
Some times this won't work,so again type "diskdrive:" where disk drive is the drive like f: or g: ....
After it opens type this
Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
This is the process to flash the kernel file....

did you try flashing the kernel separately???
If you succeed with that...
TRY THIS: WHEN FLASHING .42 USING FLASHTOOL, THERE IS A OPTION CALLED "EXCLUDE KERNEL"... CHECK THAT AND FLASH THE FTF FILE...
I guess that should work...

For some custom roms you need to flash kernels via fastboot and for this you need unlocked bootloader.
if bootloader it's locked use Google and search there is official way to unlock but you will lose warranty and drm.

First flash any kernel you want instructions will be given from where you will download like doomkernel it has inbuit recovery. Reboot into recovery choose your rom
Wipe system,chache,dalvik chache install zip from sd card
Dont flash ics rom over gb kernel or gb rom over ics kernel or it will cause bootloop

Considering you already have flashtool and your desired kernel follow this :
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode [S-Off, hold menu key and plug in to PC]
2) Place you .img on your desktop
3) Open up flashtool, select fastboot mode and select flash kernel and select it from the desktop
4) Once kernel is flashed un plug your device restart it open up CWM and flash desired ROM.
Hopefully i helped you out

kernel is an .img file so flash it normally as you do flash kernels...

After flashing the kernel you often need to flash Wifi Modules in recovery

You need to unlock your bootloader. Root is not needed at all.

If you have fastboot which is available in the apktool kit, you can verify bootloader status by putting your phone in fastboot mode (blue led) then open a shell and type "fastboot.exe getvar secure" without quotes. If it says no then you have unlocked bootloader. You can flash a kernel with flashtool or fastboot.exe. I recommend backing up your TA in flashtool prior to doing anything if you haven't already done so...could save you some trouble in the future.

Flash the kernel now then. If all fails flash back STOCK FTF. And start over again
I'm sure you have a STOCK FTF, if not you should find them in general section or Google search.

If its JB u want to use u must have a JB kernel. Meaning you must have an unlocked bootloader. U must then flash the .IMG via fastboot mode(blue light not flash mode green light).
