I am using arc with rooted. 431 firmware. but I am unable to go into recovery manualy. phone stucked on Sony logo. I installed via recovery auto installer. same issue I was facing when I was on. 62 version. any soloution?

Try reflashing the entire firmware using flash tool and install recovery using SE Tweak Installer found in development section.. Plz search for it

I tried every thing. reinstall firmware, repair my phone, unlockbootloader n root again. install recovery by tweak installer but still same isuue. where is the problem??
even i installed recovery via flshtool. but unable to go into recovery

First enable usb debugging enable install of non market applications in arc settings! Thats very important! Then connect the mobil to pc and open the installer.. Make sure drivers are installed.. If not, install from drivers folder of flashtool.. Then select 'cwm for arc' option from installer and wait for it to complete! Then reboot

Try an other Usb Slot. When I connect the phone at the front Usb slot, my phone will not be detected.

I do the same. recovery installed properly, but still I am unable to boot into recovery. it stucks on Sony logo. but for.rooting I hotboot in custom kernel then I can easily go into recovery. I think it happens when I installed 4.03 for arc s in my arc. after that I was unable to boot into recovery even in gingerbread with stock kernel. :-(

Well it shud do the trick!
Try changing kernel and see!

as i know the recovery is flashable with the kernel, so you can also try to connect the phone in fastboot, than "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when it done, "fastboot reboot" than pushing the volume button. maybe you know this, but noone knows GL

you try to flash via fastboot the .431 kernel with CWM. u can get it on the development section.

Read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741), specially the last pages, and see if it can help you.
I had the same issue as you (stucked in the kernel logo) although I'm on a locked bootloader.
I solved the question by editing a little...
Hope it helps.

i did the same but still no success. is there any way to format all partations like, boot partation, kernal partation and recovery partation and start from scratch.

Flash the .431 fw again to your phone.

Help:Is this a bootloop?

I unlocked my bootloader via omnius, installed doomkernel and rebooted with no problem, then from recovery did a wipe cache/dalvik and then installed Arconium 8.1
Now i cant get passed the doomkernel startup image, it just freezes there and i have to remove the battery. I also cant access recovery.
Im on baseband 64, had Team Stock Rom installed, and used CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2. (these were installed while bootloader was locked)
Do you know how to use fast boot? If so I would suggest you use the kernel provided with arconium 8.1 .
Open a cmd window easiest way is to browse to the location where fastoot is located, paste the kernel usually called boot.img in the same folder hold the shift key on your keyboard and press right click and select open command window here. Shut down your phone and then while holding the menu key on your phone plug in the USB cable. Then in the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img
It should show that the kernel was flashed and you can try and start your phone again.
Good luck
Just did that and still it freezes on doomkernel start up image... im desperate
I think the key to the problem is that I had a CWM recovery installed only for stock fw, and I installed arconium on it.
yeah "CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2" it is!! stock only..
I know that, but what I need is a solution. Im downloading a prerooted .62 fw, is there any other way to solve this without flashing?
Doom kernel should come pre loaded with cwm, but make sure the one ur using is arconium 8.1 because If your using the wrong kernel your phone will not boot.
Just clarify a boot loop is usually a loop of what ever logos repeating over and over so for example if I was having a boot loop in cm9 I would see the freexperia logo than the cm9 logo then freexperia logo again.

I had bootloop once while installing CM7..

Boot into recovery mode...WIPE DALVIK CACHE...REBOOT IN RECOVERY...
Delete data/partition....del Cache...REBOOT IN RECOVERY
And then install the zip from SD card....
Lemme know if this helps...
Good day

[Q] Arc Not Booting :( [RESOLVED]

OK, I Know I did a very stupid thing but I flashed the Nordik Version of the Official ICS Rom for Arc S on My Arc.
Now The problem is when it was flashing, the flash stopped at a certain point. Here is the message
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Flashing userdata.sin
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

But then After I Rebooted, It showed the sony logo for a second and then some logo of the mobile with a caution symbol (Yellow Exclamatory Mark). And thats it, after a couple of seconds, it switched off.
I repeated the process and the same thing.
Scared Then I Flashed a Doom Kernel and did a factory reset. While the factory reset, it said that it could not open \data :|
i tried formating data many times but it could not mount it saying different file system.
So I flashed a matching Custom ROM and It does not work, Nether is any app installing nor any file getting saved
Please Help!
And Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?
If flashtool stopped then try re-downloading the file in case it was corrupt, and try to re-flash. If that's not successful download a stock 2.3.4. ftf and flash that.
FTF Wasnt corrupt :\
Now I Have tried flashing the 2.3.4 Android aswell BB 48
A Very old one which I downloaded around december time to root my Arc.
That doesnt even go past the SE Logo
The Custom ROM atleast booted.
My Guess is that the userdata partition has a different filesystem than the one it can read :\
Think it's to do with flashtool being unable to handle ICS data parameters. Binary has posted some type of workaround till he updates it.
Ok, Will check them out.
Thanks!
In his post?
think so, it's mentioned in the thread.
Nope
It stops while flashing the system.sin file
Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?
Not yet, apparently. I use cm9 so don't really know, though I think there's a cwm flashable ics stock.
sinksterĀ©
No Use of that
Try connecting in fastboot, and use the erase or format commands, e.g. 'fastboot erase boot' or erase system, in case it's a system partition issue
Then try a kernel and rom.
sinksterĀ©
OK, Apparently the problem was that I was using an old version of the flashtool (0.5.8)
I downloaded the latest 0.6.9.1 and followed the 3 step flasshing process

Hi guys , Please help me as I have tried multiple kernels and roma all of them exhibit same issue,
Booting to CWM using the CWM inbuilt into the kernel takes a long time as well as once a rom is installed via CWM it completes installation and then comes to the boot screen and it sits at the boooting screena and does not get past it.
How are we gonna help if you don't state ROM and kernel and what exactly you did.

I have installed lupus v 16 kernel , with xperia ultimate hd rom and xperia blue rom both are having same issue.I can boot to cwm and install the rom but after you give reboot after the rom installation it just sits at the boot animation screen .

R800x won't boot to recovery

I have rooted an R800x, Xperia Play. Using flash tool. I had to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and I want to flash a new rom. I can't flash a rom because I can't install CWM. I used X-Parts to install CWM but when I reboot the phone to recovery using X-Parts, it doesn't boot to CWM. I have tried to manually reboot to CWM using the [back] button, pushing it repeatedly but I still couldn't boot it to recovery. Can you please help me.

What it x-parts? I've never heard of it, and honestly it didnt seem to install anything on your phone.. Use this tool here

I bet it was some app from the play store right?
I too am having the same problems with my r800i, but I ftf the 2.3.3. file just to get the thing out of boot loop. I am now downloading the 4.0.4. ftf file and hopefully get that installed.

You need a custom kernel to flash a custom rom, use fastboot.

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?
You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

[Q] Xperia S CWM black screen

Hi,
I have a Xperia S and have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I then used RecoverX to put CWM on. Then when I try to boot in to recovery (tapping sony logo as it boots), the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas?
Note that if I don't tap to go in to recovery the phone boots fine.
Cheers,
Iain
i think u must install custom kernel with CWM recovery or TWRP to get into recovery mode....

Go to flash boot and reflash kernel either TWRP or CWM. This should resolve the issue.

So if I flash a new kernel I can load in to that and then use it to load any ROM? Can you recomend a particular kernel? I've looked at some of the ones linked from the roll up and it's all a bit confusing to me - they all seem to say they are only for this rom or that rom.
Try doomkernel....http://d-h.st/qE0

Must be a problem with the recovery.. use sony emma flashtool to flash Advanced stock kernel for your firmware... check if your firmware is .200 or .211 or .96.. go to this link to download kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393
check your firmware and download the appropriate kernel.. and flash via flashtool.. in fastboot mode.. and after flashing.. reboot and an amber light will show up on your notification light, then press volume + several times to enter CWM.. (just follow the steps in the link)
Good Luck..!! :fingers-crossed:
Hit thanks if I helped..
