ArcKnight 3.6 doesn't boot, 3.5.1 does.
Also ArcKnight doesn't have the sony logo.
Stock kernel should always work, unless you're using some init.d script that causes a boot loop.
Have you tried flashing everything from scratch?

The Sony logo comes after i flashed the new ROM and tries to reboot.
I have tried flashing a bounce of times, always the same ending.
I flash an older firmware, roots, puts in the new kernel, and then installing the ROM. Then when i restart its just goes to Sony logo and stay there.

To flash another kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
Rooting it won't do the trick.

Sorry i forgot it, i was using unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com for help with the bootloader.:silly:

Helps.
use your fastboot.
btw what are you running at? ICS or GB
You need to flash your kernel I recommend use the Stock kernel.

Are you wiping device before flashin ROM?

System restore and dalvik cache...

You say you flashed .42 as the old firmware and start from there.
That's a gingerbread rom and JJ Hybrid is an ICS rom.
Also you can't use ICS on a gingerbread kernel and vice versa.
I suggest you flash the official ICS update from sony, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
And then try to flash your favorite ICS kernel, factory reset, format system and then flash your favorite ICS rom.
Good luck!

Wow wtf, that's.. really strange..
Or the screen is dead or there is something wrong with the touch drivers.
Maybe a reboot will fix it..

ROM cannot be installed like this.
You are flashing kernel with that command.
Stock ROM needs to be installed via Flashtool. Or another fastboot command("fastboot flash system filename.img" for system folder).

Do i have to have stock .587 to flash in the latest miui update from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851262
And also, when i install the rom, do i just run Aroma installer instead of wiping cache and dalvik then flashing the rom in?
Thanks

Did you flashed the MIUI kernel?
no
where can i find that?
Is the "boot.img" inside the MIUI.zip
(only if you have unlocked bootloader)
or you can go back to stock rom using sony update service
There are no boot.img inside the MIUI.zip,

what about the firmware sir? i use firmware58
OK first remove kernel from extracted zip... Then re-zip rom. Flash kernel in fastboot... Boot into recovery using either Vol. Down or the back button... Depending on kernel. Once inside recovery. Clear data, cache, & dalvik. Once those are done... Install from sd.

Going into recovery you have to continuously press back button when you boot phone... You should feel it vibrate.

bootloop !!!
First, sorry for my bad english ( I'm french !!!)
I have a bootloop at the launcher chooser
I follow all the instructions correctly
I've got a Xperia Play root and unlocked bootloader
I see another have the same problem... is this a bug or I do something wrong ?
Check the zip. Make sure the files meta-inf & system are the first you see when you go into zip. If not you need to rezip to where the extra folder is gone.

Fw version will only make a difference to signal, data, battery ect, it still boots on other FW. Anyway to the point, do not use ics kernel bootlogo takes an extra couple of seconds to come on on JB kernel. Because u say u flashed lupus-isc-beta im assuming u know how to flash kernels. Ive probably flashed this over 50+ times since v2 with both flashboot (sdk) & flashtool. Did you try the kernel below the ROM Downloads??
And do click thanks to the users who have been helping you thats why its there

Im not sure what u mean "launcher chooser" its not a bug buddy 99.99999% user error. If you mean CWM then the only bug on that AFAIK is the screen jumping. If you cant boot at all try the pac kernel which is below the rom downloads

Need Help

Guys i need some advice with rooting my friend's Arc s. Here s what i did
Phone was on official ICS. I unlocked the bootloader using the official method.
Then i rooted it using some one click root method
Then installed recovery using recoverx software
Booted to recovery, wipe data, format system
Then tried to install a rom called racing bean. But i got and status 7 error. I tried some other JB rom.
But got the same error
Then i switched off and tried get to recovey. but could not
So i relocked the bootloader and installed official ICS again to boot the phone. The phone is fine now.
so can anybody help me to properly do this?? I just want to install CM on this phone
Racing bean or any other jb rom needs a JB Kernel too!.the ics kernel and jb rom mismatch might give that error.First flash a jb kernel and then it should work fine. This one's what i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559.
First, you forgot kernel. Second make a backup with cwm before any wipe.

I flashed lupus kernel but after that i could not get into recovey. How can i do that?? I had the same problem with Arc fusion kernel
Well,there shouldnt be any problem,vol down or up button while the device lights up(led glows) does the job.But maybe u can try flashing it agn..if still having an issue..use an app like rom toolbox or boot manager to reboot into recovery..btw srry for the late reply
I gave up the effort. I tried about 6 Roms and kernels. Even ICS kernels with ICS roms. But After flashing the rom the phone does not go pass the kernel boot screen. I had to relock the bootloader and flash the stock Rom again. I have flashed hundreds of roms on so many devices. But never faced this kind of situation

Not sure why you would have installed RecoverX if you have an unlocked bootloader as all you need to do is flash a kernel that includes CWM.

Ya right i did flash the kernel via fastboot. Then booted into CWM and flashed the rom. But when i reboot it gets stuck at kernel screen
This happened to me and all I did was leave the phone like 10 mins booting, then it magically worked. I'm using Arc fusion 4.3 with racing bean, no problems. Try this, flash lupus kernel, wipe everything, go on fastboot and flash fusion, try to go on cwm and if it works, try to install racingbean again. At least that's one of the things I did.

[Q] Sony xperia Lt18i Bootloop big problem

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
I tried many many room whit kernels but stuck on bootloop every time, no way. I have never seen this problem before. Maybe bricked bootloader ?
I tried to relock the bootloader but doesnt help either.
Any help?
Ok, since you can boot into recovery can you flash you ROM.zip and try to boot into ROM? I also need some details:
- ROM you were using
- Kernel you were using
- How you got bootloop
Flashtool should work, try to recover using flashtool.

Before this happened i was using Ultimate HD 4.0 and Vengeance kernel ayame. The telephone was crashed and i didnt any backup. I tried to upgrade it to android 4.2 or 4.1 and the probleme begin I relocked the bootloader but doesnt help. I flashed it but doesnt accept any firmware, show Error flash bla bla bla Flash aborted. tried almost roms and kernels but doesnt help. I can install rooms and flash kernels, and boot up to recovery but after that is just stuck on boot animation or bootloop.:crying::crying::crying:
During the upgrade to JB, did you flash the kernel that came with it?
I assume you wanted to update to CM10/10.1? Vengeance Kernel is not compatible with JB. You need to flash UHD4 back to /system partition if you want to stick with UHD or flash the boot.img that came with the JB ROM.zip.
Do a clean install. Your phone should be working again if you do the steps correctly.
If you still have problems, you can reply to this thread or send me a PM if you wish to be more private about it.
