Dear all,
I am experiencing some trouble using different kernels on my R800i. I am currently running CM7.2 and the kernel that was released with one of the first RC's from CM7.1 - this is the only kernel (except the stock ones) that is working on my phone!
Any newer CM7 kernel or any CM9 kernel, Mjolnir, Drakforest, Doomlord or whatever kernel just won't work.
I see the kernel splash screen of the kernel and then it stays black or stucks and reboots. I could not even enter the recovery of any of theese kernels neither see the bootscreen of the installed roms. Only the old one I have is working.
I had always the right rom installed (CM9 for CM9 kernels, CM7 for CM7 kernels) and wiped data and cache. I tried reflashing the .62 firmware but after flashing the kernel its still not working. I tried to flash the Kernels using fastboot and flashtool, same result.
I tried the ICS official beta - the kernel from Sony works fine.
Can anyone give me some advice what i could have done wrong? I am really desperate on this, couldnt find any solution on google or in the other threads :crying:
I would really like to use CM9 but i can't because no other than my CM7 kernel is working ...
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Greetings,
Bombasti
No one any ideas?

No, stock firmwares and stock kernels are working fine, it's just that no other kernel than the one i have is working
EDIT: I remember that there was another kernel that was working, it was DoomLord's ICS kernel with touch recovery. But any current kernel from DoomLord doesn't work either...
Okay i still dont't have any idea. Today I installed Cm9.1 on my brothers phone ( he bought it 4 months after i got mine) and everything is working fine.
But if I do the same with my phone it won't work. Flashing kernel - kernel won't boot.
I even tried relocking my bootloader and restoring my phone with SE update service. Unlocked it again, flashed kernel - Won't boot...
Can anyone please give me some advice?

1. Flash the .62 firmware
2. Flash the kernel for your rom e.g. CM9 = the kernel inside the zip file OR LuPuS, Turbo, Mjolnir
3. Enter the recovery wipe data/cache and install the rom
Also make sure that you are flashing a kernel that is compatible with the ROM that you want to use.

Thanks for the reply! I did 1 and 2, but my problem occurs with 3. The kernel gets stuck before I can enter the recovery, by this i mean i see the kernel splash screen, then the display turns black and i see the splash screen again. Hitting the volume keys doesn't do anything
and this problem is not kernel specific... it's the same with almost every kernel i found in this forum :/

Make sure that you are pressing the right keys to enter recovery. For some kernels, such as Doomkernel and Lupus, it is not the volume keys but the Back key to enter the recovery menu.

Currently i have the kernel from the CM9.1 package, it should be the volume keys there, but back isn't working either. I usually press both back and volume if i am not sure.
What i really don't understand is why my old cm7 kernel (should be from august 2011) is working fine but any newer kernel be it CM7, CM9 or stock won't work...
EDIT: With stock i mean custom kernels for stock roms like Doom kernel.
EDIT2: Also the power LED should flash pink when i can enter the recovery ( i saw it at my brother's phone) ... no flashing LED with mine...

Ah ok, sorry I just kinda misunderstood you.
I checked it before i unlocked it, it said Bootloader Unlockable: Yes (or sth. like this) but i didn't check after i unlocked it.
With my current CM7.2 rom this *#*#SERVICE#*# thing doesn't work, I guess it only works with stock roms?
Should i reflash stock firmware just to check this? I dunno what i will get to know then, can you tell me please?

Im new at this so please be patient
So recently i root my device and i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836818. I did follow the instructions completely but it sad that i can use rom manager through phone. So i started rom manager and search for .zip file (costum rom) and than i backup everything. I turn off my device and turn it on while pressing the down volume key and then it went to recovery mode i think and started backing up and installing costum rom. I installed it and it say it needs to reboot to work so i rebooted and now my phone wont start and its stuck on Sony logo and i left it like that for hours and it doesnt do anything.
So i dont know what to do. Im freaking out here. So please if theres any way you could help me i would be very thankful.

Just flash the kernel through fastboot. Get the kernel from where you downloaded the ROM.
Enter into Recovery. Wipe dalvik cache, cache partition and user data.
Reflash the ROM and Reboot the device.
got solution,,dont worry
use flashtool to get back...and use original kernel ..past to flashtool/firmware.now open the flashtool,,press icon thunder.tick flashmode and connectyour phone to usb to pc/laptop(phone must on ) and flash ittttt.unplug it..and take your battry out from you phone(to off phone)..then ready to plug usb (press back button)and putt battry together..wait for finish,,and...hooorey2

Flashed stock kernel
Now i have flashed the ICS stock kernel and i am unable to get my phone to CWM recovery. After the sony logo appears, there's a black screen.
My PC find the phone, but it's in MTP mode, therefore i can't flash anything except the kernel (.ftf).
Do i have to change the internal memory?

You won't be able to until you flash a kernel with CWM or use X-Parts. Click the first link in my sig and read it from start to finish, when you have a better understanding of what you're doing then try and flash something.

I have bought a SE Xperia Arc S some time ago.
It was having Rush Kernel on it, dont know if stock ICS too, and .... now it`s now..
I used a program (ZDBox) to kill some background processes...and i accidentally forced my phone to reboot .Since then it only shows me the Rush Kernel logo, and after that it restarts again...and again...
I tried to d a hard reset, but no luck so far.
Tried volume up+power+home
Tried the same, but with volume down
Tried the back + home+ power
Tried the back and the button on right + power ... no luck

A kernel is a module that allows interaction between hardware and software(i.e using the camera on your phone with the camera application on your ROM)
There's no advantage about installing a kernel; it is a must to install or your ROM won't run properly with your phone.

Check the ROM thread for recommended kernel. Each custom ROM needs different kernel to run at optimal performance.

Kernel :
I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
I can't seem to find a answer for this problem. I have an xperia zl C6506 which I have unlocked bootloader and also have rooted. My problem is that I try to install cwm recovery which I can but after I do that I can get into recovery but cannot bot into stock. I then have to go in and use flashtool to kernel so I can boot again but then can't get into cwm recovery again. Need help read everything I can and tried more then once to install cwm recovery but always have same issue. Hopefully someone can help me with this because can't install custom rom. Did I miss something please help.
Sounds like the recovery you're installing isn't compatible with ROM? what ROM are you using and what kernel/recovery specifically? Are you using doomkernel? Because doomkernel comes with both TWRP and CWM and I know it works with stock. If you're not using stock, then Meow kernel?

Thanks for all your help worked like a champ. Tried it power up CWM recovery and power down TWRP recovery. Again thanks much the xperia zl is very different from all the other android smartphones I have had.
One other question I now have after installing the custom recovery is my Wi-Fi is no longer available. The doomlord kernel has made it non-usable. Any clues on how to fix this issue? I'm sorry for asking so many questions but like I said new to xperia zl.
I figured it out after I installed the doomlord kernel I then went back into CWM recovery and installed the whole zip file everything works. Any way thanks for your help without it I would have never been able to flash a rom. I'm now a very happy camper.

One other question I now have after installing the custom recovery is my Wi-Fi is no longer available. The doomlord kernel has made it non-usable. Any clues on how to fix this issue? I'm sorry for asking so many questions but like I said new to xperia zl.

Do you mind helping me out i have the same problem as you. I am not sure where to put the files that are in the v17 zip. when i open them i see 3 folders and a boot.img. i have been using the flash tool up until this point. I am rooted and my bootloader is unlocked. I am just not sure how to flash the kernel so that i can get some type of recovery on y c6506 . any help would be helpful. I did a search and found this
[ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)
download the kernel package update.zip......i did this
save it on c:\ and extract the boot.img from the package....not sure what that means. does it just mean drag it to my deck top or something
save the boot.img to the folder containing fastboot binary....where is this folder?
flash the boot.img using fastboot:... i can use flash tool for this but when i click the lighting i check fastboot instead of flash
like i said any help would be great. And I will thank you
