[Q] flash kernel without deleting rom

I flashed doomkernel and my battery life is terfible. Can i just flash back the original kernel without having to reload the rom?
And yes i've used betterbatterystats and it doesnt help. Doomkernel just does something to my phone and causes constant battery loss.

[ how to get back to stock kernel OR older versions of my kernel (v06 and lower) ]
download the stock wifi modules update.zip
extract the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) file from the stock FTF u used to flash this fimware
save the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
save the wifi modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
reboot phone and enter recovery
flash the stock wifi modules update.zip
power down device
start device in fastboot mode
use the following command to flash the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels)
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
reboot phone and thats it u should now be on stock kernel (or my older kernel)

and if you use sony ics beta flash the boot.img

Thanks.
Would anyone know why doo kernel sucks more battery? Not that i use it more, just it uses more battery for doing the same things.

[Q] Fastboot flash recovery CMW.img file ARC S [SOLVED]

With the ARC S is it possible to flash recovery only?
Some custom kernels are flashing CMW version 6.x.x.x which creates a blob's folder.
I want to be able to down grade CMW to version 5.x.x.x or earlier.
The ARC S isn't supported by CMW
So if it is possible, where can I get the .img file?

No. It's not possible to flash recovery only as there is no recovery partition.
One way is to modify stock kernel and add it. Than flash that kernel.
Other way is to install x-part app from play. App will install cwm into system. If you are not looking for sd-ext and init.d support this is way to go.
Otherwise there are three stock based 587 kernel available. All working but none of them 100% correct.

Well you could always ftf to stock and just root and try again this will help with conflicts of old files and kernels and you can start fresh

CM9.1 ZEUSC For r800x cdma has the kernel &CWM in it!!!! along with the rom !!so read below
Simple fix is stay away from JB roms they are still too new so you are going to run in to many bugs..etc Besides alot of people here treat the 800x like its a red headed step child here.
lucky for you i have bricked my phone many times and brought it back from the grave.
Step 1 is you bootloader unlocked? If yes. it doesnt matter what rom you have on it now. because you can do what you please with it.
Step 2 are you using flash tool? if yes flash Kernels first before flashing a rom
A good rom i recommend is Zeusc CM9.1 still has bugs but it is stable.
download it here Google get.cm then click Zeusc cm 9.1 is the latest stable release. also download Gapps Signed for Ics 4.04 Because you will need to put it on you SD card later along with the CM9.1 zip.
Step 3 download it and extract the boot.img file from it and then put a copy of the zip intact on your SD card. put your phone in USB MODE TO DO SO..
Step 4 open up flash tool . if you dont have it google "flash tool androxide".. it should be on Cnet make sure its the newest version...
Step 5 power your phone off... Go to my computer then C: drive look for flashtool click on drivers and install them for your phone. along with fast boot and flash mode... 3 total boxes to check... once installed move to step six
Step 6 plug you phone in VIA USB CORD while HOLDING THE SEARCH BUTTON . IF YOU DID IT RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE A BLUE LIGHT.
Step 7 look at the logbox of flash tool is should say it detected your phone and display info. Click the LIGHTNING BOLT ICON( Flash Button)
then select fastboot mode.
next click "select Kernel to flash" button then select the boot.img file you extracted from the zip folder. earlier in step 3
if you did it correct it will flash the boot image to you phone along with the CWM recovery to you bootloader. once it says sucessful.
unplug your phone. hold the power button to reboot it when you see the free xperia logo come on hold the volume down button. till it goes in to recovery mode.
step 8 erase your "partitons" and "cache" then select "advanced" clean your "dalvik cache" too. next select install from zip folder then select the zip you want to flash. its the file that says cm9.1 zeusc. the file i told you to put on your SD card.
install it to your phone!!!! after that do not reboot until you flash the google apps zip on you sd card the same way you did the rom..
THEN ONCE YOU INSTALLED BOTH REBOOT YOUR PHONE FROM CWM RECOVERY BY SELECTING REBOOT FROM THE MENU.
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULLY WORKING ROM ON YOUR 800X
dONT FORGET TO THANK ME !!!

Pull the boot.Img from the pac zip and fastboot it. Then install the zip via twrp recovery. Make sure you wipe cache, dvalik, android secure, and data (everything but internal storage)
Then flash.
Then boot up.
Then reboot back to recovery and flash gapps
Then boot up again

Hi all, I also want to try the PAC 4.2.2 Rom, so like a good little noob I've been searching everywhere to find out if I need to open the zip in my pc & fastboot the .img first as I have a different/wrong kernel, I've got cm10 fxp 212 on my xperia s.
So far this is the only place I've seen it mentioned.
Could anybody confirm it please?
& the run command if you know it.
Thanks.

1. Open zip file and copy boot.img to fastboot folder
2. Right click and select " Open cmd here" (Win7)
3. Type these commands
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (Wait when its done after few sec)
- fastboot reboot ( or unplug the cable and turn on your phone)
4. Now, boot into CWM to flash Rom
Take notice that you have to install fastboot driver first. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

if you have a CWM Recovery in your kernel(like FXP's CM9 or CM10 kernel)
just copy the zip(you download from the PAC thread) to the internal storage
then boot into CWM, wipe,flash the zip,enjoy
recovery will flash boot.img automatically
if no work, try flash the boot.img manually, like the way on 6# reply

Lilude & Speca, thank you both for a quick reply, btw, your English is perfect.
Wow! So a different kernel can be flashed with the rest of the packet from recovery/cwm without needing a pc, (except for copying to sd card) .
A new bit of knowledge for me!
I'd click your thanks buttons if I knew how, but as you can see I'm new to the forum & still finding my way about.
Noobs of the world unite.

Both ways are fine but better flash separately in such situation. It definitely helps you avoid a broken CWM happening after that such as : can't backup the current Rom, can't mount system as well as can't flash anything, etc.. aside from having to reflash Stock Rom,otherwise the phone gonna get stuck on boot . How terrible !
Make your choice and do not mess up your phone, huh ?

If you say flashing the boot.img from my pc first is the safest option then I'll use that method.
I've already messed up several times when I was in stock, without a recovery, luckily EMMA came to the rescue.
Since custom rom cm10 I can't flash updates or anything else without a factory reset, partition & dalvic wipe is never enough.
So taking my time for this rom, download tonight, fingers crossed

Xperia s : fxp 212 nozomi
++++++++++++++++++
OK!
flashed boot.img
wiped everything
fixed permissions
mounted system
flashed PAC
rebooted
went back to recovery
flashed gapps
rebooted.
Works perfectly so far!
also I reinstalled my own apps manually instead of using titanium back up. I read this hint in the PAC v22 thread / dev section.
maybe this is 1 of the reasons I'm not having the odd problem that a few others are experiencing. who knows?
thanx all for helping

[Q] Can't put CWM onto my Xperia Arc after using EMMA

Hi,
I have tried everything I've read so far and I still can't get the phone to boot into recovery.
I flashed the latest Stock ROM using Sony Ericsson 'Emma' flashtool.
Then I rooted using eroot and I have confirmed the root with the app Root Checker.
I installed ROM Manager but it says my device isn't recognised.
Also installed X-Parts and even though that said ClockWorkMod install was successful it still won't boot into recovery.
I have tried holding down various combination of keys whilst powering up but I don't even see a blue light appearing.
Is there any way to get CWM onto my Xperia Arc (LT15i) please?
Thanks for any advice

Flash a kernel that has CWM using fastboot.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks for replying. How would I go about finding the right kernal and how do I flash the phone if I can't get into recovery please?
I did flash my phone before with CM 9 but I've completely forgotten how to do it.
Thanks again

The kernel will depend on your ROM, so if you're using stock ROM you can flash a stock kernel with CWM on it. LuPuS stock kernel and Advanced stock kernel are two examples of stock kernel that have CWM.
Most custom ROM kernel should have CWM installed. Custom ROM will also come with its kernel so flash that and you should have CWM on your phone.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks very much for helping me. I was wondering if you could tell me where I'm going wrong trying to install a CM Rom please. I've tried both CM 9 and CM 10 but the former caused the boot screen to flicker and flash and when I tried to install CM 10 I just got an error in CMW saying error in sdcard/cm10.zip (status 7).
The problem stems from me experimenting and putting on the Jellybeanv4 Rom. I found that the Settings button didn't function and overal performance was slow so that is why I'm trying to flash back to a Stable CM Rom.
These are the instructions I followed using flashtool.
1. Download rom, patch and gapps from Downloads and put in SD card
2. Flash Xperia Arc S 4.1.B.1.13 Vodafone DE firmware via flashtool (For increasing system and data memory for Arc user and latest BB) Must
3. Flash included FXP kernel or any CM10 based kernel using fastboot
4. Boot into CWM
5. Wipe factory reset (Data & Cache)
6. Go mounts and storage
7. Format /system
8. Flash rom then patch and at last gapps
9. Reboot
10. After booting 1 time you can flash addons if you want
Is it a problem with a conflict with the Vodafone DE Firmware and CM Rom?
Thanks again for your help and advice

I have same problem...
Same rom and same instalation guide...
Any solution to get in CWM?

Sorry for very late reply, but it should not be a problem with DE firmware. Download the file again and try to install it following the steps.
