fxp130 - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi when ever my phone is restarted it formats my memory card, is there any way to fix it? and how do i go back to stock sony ics rom from cm9?
ps i am new to cm roms(or any other custom roms)
EDIT: i've recently discovered that it is not rebooting the device but going in to recovery to make a backup that formats the memory card.

no ant+ radio for jjhybrid v3.2?

There was made a patch for making ANT+ work on the 3.1 version of the rom but not for version 3.2.
I've also tried to restore the three ANT files necessary with TB from my previous official 4.0.4 rom but only 2 files can be restored, AntHalService 4.0.4 UL5_3w can not be restored. I use an ANT hear rate monitor in combo with the endomondo app to log my heart rate while running/biking.
This was asked before by somebody else in the developement thread of the rom but there was no reply or solution given, so I try it again asking if it is possible to make a patch i can flash to get ANT working in jjhybrid.
There may not be many people using this feature but those who did or do will be very thankfull because ANT+ radio heart rate monitors aren't cheap to buy.
Thanks

i installed the zip but it isnt working, the 3 ant+ services are running but my monitor cannot be detected and there isnt also a notification icon in the bar. in the official sony rom you need to enable ant+ in a sony app so maybe this is holding it back from functioning properly
use Factory Reset and Wipe Davlik cache.
And Flash the Rom.

[Q] stock ICS Xperia Arc

hi,
is there anyway how i can re-install the stock Sony ICS firmware for my Xperia arc LT15i?
first i had CM9, and then i tried to install Ice Bean which went completely wrong, and now i cannot connect to my sd card, to reinstall CM9
it only shows the freeXperia logo, and i can enter the clockworkmod recovery but since i dont have the CM9 rom on the sd card, my phone is useless.
many thanks!

Reflash a stock ftf with the flashtool, found by the power of sight in the guides and stickys.

Well, if you have a card reader, mp3 player, alternate phone or anything with microSD slot, you could always use those as a medium to transfer your rom to the microSD card.
Another workaround is to reflash the stock sony rom via flashtool and the same procedure you used to flash custom roms/kernels

SOLVED: LT26i original boot.img (bricked by reflashing bootloader)

Hi guys,
well,i did something really stupid.
I was installing Cyanogenmod 9.1 to a friends phone,after i flashed the new bootloader i realised i wasn't able to insert the sdcard containing the CM9.1 rom,it has no sd-slot...
So now the phone doesn't boot anymore,except for fastboot and CWM,since i have no idea how to get the CM image to the internal storage i'm requesting the original boot.img so i can flash it back to the phone and transfer the CM image to internal storage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: ADB is also working but i can't push CM to internal storage because it's read-only.
Edit2: I solved it,eventually...
Greetz
How did you solved it, i have the sme problem here
Use ADB to push the rom to internal storage and use CWM to install the rom.
And how do i do that?
Can you help a little bit.

An easier solution would be to mount USB storage from CWM then transfer the files from your PC :good:
As a last resort don't forget you can always use Sony's repair/update software to restore the phone and start again This has saved me a couple of times

Dude, or, anyone.. I've tried Linux x64 and Windows x86 and I can't get the phone (LT26i) )to show up on my PC while it's in CWM: what am I not doing?
By the by - it's bootlooping: It had the orignal OS, then CM10.1 nightly, which was fine but my mate didn't like it..
flashtool let me put an official ICS back on board, then tried a different CM10.1 nightly, it had a few bugs of course,
so I went into CM settings/system/whatevers, searched for stable updates, and chose 9.1, dl'd and installed from the menu right there.. boot first boot got to like 30 mins so I killed it and did a restore (this may have been stupid). Which didnt work.
So I tried using Flashtool (9.0.0) to reinstall the official ICS.. and it fails. Flashtool gets as far as flashing the kernel and then it bails out.
So now, I don't have a ROM to go into to select any options or anything, or to be able to get it to show on my PC. If I can get it to show in CWM, I can sort this mess out.
Also, I have tried the 'mount USB storage' option in CWM. And I've tried mounting and unmounting stuff in CWM. Nada.
Please help!

[Q] Please Help xperia acting odd

ok so tonight i decided to unlock my xperia play's bootloader i followed the guide on sony's website. and all went ok.
But after restarting it froze after the boot animation and won't fully boot. But if i press vol up or down the phone makes sounds as if its booted please help or my parents will kill me.:crying:
It also wont boot into recovery no matter what i press or do
Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10
Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

i know unlocking the bootloader didnt cause sony companion to fail i deleted all the software in the "safe list" of bloatware to delete to get more space and one of them was update services.
Thats why i really want to install CM 10

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

broken recovery

hello guys, i need a help. somedays ago i flashed slimrom by polishvodka to my phone and my borther's. it's working without any annoying bugs until yesterday my lil bros ask me to update his phone to kitkat. so i download new maclaw's latest rom.
here is the problem, i turn off the phone and took the sdcard to copy the new rom from my pc. but when i entering recovery mode ( Home+power+volume Up ) i got nothing but blackscreen. i though that was rom problem so i reflash stock JB MG2. the rom boot up succesfully but recovery still same. i try to dowgrade to GB russian with pit and repartition and it's work. i can enter recovery mode. but if i flash any jb firmware ( MH1, MF1/2, MG2 ) i cant enter recovery, just blackscreen. my local fellow's suggest me to flash D-Kernel as it has built in CWM using universal kernel flasher. but this app request root. how can i root this phone if i cant enter recovery mode? please i need solution.
anyone?

Recovery (on the Ace 2) is integrated in the kernel.
And it's certainly surprising that on a freshly reflased device stock recovery doesn't work...
I'd personally try repartitioning with a 3-part firmware...

i thought so, and i've already flashing with Russian GB and JB MB4. both have pit and repartitioning but no luck. the flashing completely done, odin show succesfull and the rom boot up without problem but when entering recovery mode, still blank screen. i've downloade 2 GB firmware and 4 JB stock. mixing them and repeated downgrading/upgrading but still, stock recovery never show up . only str3tch72 post help me get cwm back. but after installing new rom/firmware, the blank recovery came back again
It is possible that you broke some partitions on your phone.. Can yoh get any logcat when you are on that blank recovery screen ?
