CWM Disappears after installing any new rom. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

CWM is no more there after installing a new rom and new rom won't load. Then i have to flash the stock rom again > root it > install CWM. Again when i install any rom it would install normally but nothing gives a blank screen after reboot and the stock rom is not even there.
The situation is occurring with the following;
Phone: Sony Xperia ARC S (LT18i)
Bootloader: unlocked
Android version 2.3.4 (Build 4.0.2.A.42) -
I have made multiple attempts on installing new roms but nothing works. Every time i reboot after installation im left with a blank screen. Can anyone advise what the problem could be ?
Thanks

Did u flash the kernel for the ROM u flashed ? The ROM will not boot without its kernel.

you must be installing CWM into the system through one touch command prompt program.. as such as soon as the ROM changes and you wipe out data and cache, CWM disappears..try flashing a custom recovery kernel which are available even for stock roms.
Also follow these steps for a custom ROM (eg CM9):
download the ROM, extracted it into a folder, copy the boot.img where you can remember, then copy the original cm9 ZIP - not the extracted folder- into the root of SD..use fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img which you had copied..its a recovery kernel so CWM should open..wipe out SD data..then cache..and then go into advanced option and clear dalvik..and then proceed to install zip from sd..then gapps.zip if u want..it should install fine..and then reboot.
Press Thanks if you think i was of help to you..:good:

Got it - Yes i was installing CWM within stock rom via market. though i tried to install it through adb/windows but still i guess the problem was all about not installing a custom recovery kernel.
Thanks a lot !

Hi,
I have an xperia arc s Lt18a. So here what happened:
1. I unlocked bootloader
2. used fastboot to enter CWM and tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539752
3. The aroma installer said "install successfully so I restarted my phone
4. After the SE logo appears for a few seconds, the screen goes blank.
I tried to install with some other custom roms but I get the same problem. Thank you for your help.

==Installation instructions== New users ==
Important! Only for unlocked bootloader
- Update Flashtool to latest version
- Flash any stock based 4.0.4 rom or official ftf with Flashtool Skip this step if you are already on a 4.0.4 stock based rom
- Go into recovery and do advanced => wipe dalvik cache and factory reset
- install my rom

Did you follow the instructions correctly?
I did follow the steps. I tried to install the custom roms many times. I flashed the official 4.0.4 ftf and followed step by step. I also flashed DoomKernel before install the custom rom.
So far, I can only flash official firmware but I cannot install custom rom because of the problem described.
Try flashing some other ROM..

Maybe your source file is corrupted? In CWM, after installing the ROM, does it appears installation success or update success any similar message?
And suggest you wipe data & cache after installing the ROM, not before. Wipe Dalvik cache too.

Ik think that the CWM version is to old.
Also if you want to go to lollipop later then you can't do this with CWM 6.0.2.
Download a new CWM with an minimum version 6.4.5 or TWRP 2.8.6.0.
Never tried to install the older version roms with TWRP but with CWM I was able to install all.

It sounds that you have a damaged file. Download the DN3 v3.1 ROM once it's complete verify its integrity using any MD5 checker tool.

Use Philz version 5.15, and clean all the data using Philz recovery. Do not select the option "Wipe Data" in the DN3 installer, this may cause your installation process to hang.

(ii) then I flashed MJ5 bootloader (downloaded from JoelDroid rom site) before installing DN3 rom
(iii)then I flashed DN3 v3 successfully.
With the DN3 v3.2 update, I tried dirty flash without wipe but hell lots of problems so finally I did full wipe, format data and then
clean install DN3 v3.2 anf all working perfectly so far including all the Note 3 features.

[Q] CWM Recovery not permanent

I was trying to install CWM recovery on this phone , I used Odin to flash recovery . I flashed recovery then removed battery and then booted to recovery then CWM loaded but as soon as I restarted the phone and again tried opening recovery phone took me to stock recovery , how can I solve this? I am running 4.2.2 firmware . And also I tried flashing CM11 with this temporary CWM but package installation stopped because of a error (status 7) saying some problem with partition , I was not rooted at the time . Is root needed to flash CM11 ?

1. Once u boot into CWM recovery flash SuperSU (If u don't have get it from here). This will ensure that the recovery doesn't revert back to stock.
2. Status 7 error has various reasons. Ensure that u r using most latest recovery and perform clean install.

First of all root your device.
Secondly install philz recovery using odin.
Then flash your desired ROM
(i suggest you aogp dual sim).
PM me if you need any help.
All the best :thumbup:

emmc is a partition i believe, if you see such errors, recheck if you are using the correct recovery... I flashed my tablet with wrong recovery and it wiped out all my partitions. It's as good as a brick now if not worse.
