You can flash stock fw with flashtool n back to stock rom of course...it's the simple way I think

you have to flash the only compatible kernel for this rom, fusion 4.0
search for it, you won't get any problem flashing racing bean

Thank you.

[SOLVED]Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...

Oh man not again... I've lost my previous phone (TG-01) in the same way. My phone was working just fine until I decided to flash the turbo kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548). By following the directions in the link (http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/how-to-use-fastboot.html), I've done all of the steps mentioned but then the problems started. When I first opened the device after flashing the kernel, all I saw was just a black screen. Approximately two minutes later the battery indicator and clock showed up on the top right of the screen. With some search in Google, I've found the post below:

Did you wipe data, cache, and then format and remount system before applying the new zip?

So I've tried to follow these steps too but looks like I'm failed. Now I can't flash another kernel because the PC doesn't detect my phone after the "waiting for device" prompt in the fastboot. Before trying something again I thought asking for help in the forums is a good idea. So please, please help me. I'm very upset now and I won't get any better without fixing this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you flash the recovery on xperia gamer site?If you did this it is only a recovery not a kernal.You should have flashed a kernal with recovery built in like the turbo kernal which as recovery built in.According to xperiargamer gamer link you need to to connect through flashtool to get into the recovery.I would look in flashtool to try to boot into recovery or flash another kernal with recovery built in then flash a new rom.But obviously flashtool needs to recognise your phone :fingers-crossed:
That's the problem. Before I messed with the settings it had no problems with detecting my device. I guess I screwed up something.
Also just noticed I CAN get incoming calls but I can't answer them. So the phone is actually working, then? What should I do now?
What rom are you on?Can you get in fastboot mode with phone?(holding search while connecting to pc.) is the phone partially working?

When I first flashed the kernel I was on stock 2.3.4, but immediately after the flashing I switched to X Dark ICS. Yes, I can use the fastboot mode, but fastboot does not recognize it while SEUS does. Weird...,
I can enter the boot menu with no problems at all.
Xdark ICS is not compatible with turbo kernel.Only certain roms work they are listed on CosmicDan site.Also when you say you can get into boot menu do you mean via the phone?

Yes, I can enter and browse the boot menu by opening the phone while tapping back and volume up keys. Now trying on a different computer, will post the results.
No use. Damn.
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS.
Confused by what you mean boot menu! Do you mean recovery? Also if this is turbo recovery just install a compatible rom via install zip option,there are links to them on CosmicDans site.Download one place on sdcard and flash with turbo recovery :fingers-crossed:
Re: Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...
Boot menu?? Recovery?? Cant u just flash a stock firmware via flashtool using flashmode?? If the boot menu you were talking about is recovery u should be able to enter fastboot/flashmode. Regarding the un-recognize problem did u try updating the driver?? Does flashtool even detect your phone??
Sorry for the lot of Q. Just want to get a clear view of your situation.

No need to apologize, you are right, I should have mentioned these.
Flashtool? I don't think it's Flashtool. It's something in the fastboot folder with the command prompt thing. Shift+Right Click if I remember it correctly.
Trying the Flashtool now, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the reply.

Guess what?.I've flashed version 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK Generic) with Flashtool. And now my phone is back again! HAHAHAHAHA I'M FRICKING HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS. Ehm... Really, I thank you both. You two have a good day.
By the way, what should I do now? I was thinking about installing some Custom ROMs but I'm too scared to do it after these. Now the phone's running on 2.3.3. Is my rooted/bootloader unlocked status gone?
Congrats. Flashtool is a perfect fail sav. As for root, just use flashtool to root it. BL stays unlock once u've unlocked it. It locks when u decide to lock it. Everythings there man.

Glad to hear don't let one mistake put you off do a lot of reading and take your time,also no its not locked that's a different process and why would you want to lock it again and stop all the fun lol.

Did you actually install a Rom
@OP or did you just flash the turbo kernel? @everyone else If you flash a new kernel would that necessarily delete your ROM or would you still be able to boot to a stock rom?

[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

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?

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 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
