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.

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!

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).
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.
AW: Need Help
Always give the recovery log...
& exact error code ^^
Than search google.
Than xda.

Hi !
I have a locked A.55 Xperia S from Dubai and were trying to install CM9.1 (stable) but now, its stuck at the Cyanogenmod animation. I waited for like 10 minutes but it just won't go from there. Re-flashing the kernal and wiping and then re-installing CM9.1 didn't work.
What I did:
1. Installed the drivers from Google dev website with fastmode driver from Sony dev site.
Selected the ADB mode driver (not the bootloader driver) for the S1boot device in Device Manager.
2. Rooted using Easy Root 1.2 (chinese version)
(success, I could see superuser process in the apps)
3. Unlocked bootloader using the fastmode as mentioned in Sony's website.
4. Downloaded the CM9.1 nozomi from CM website and Gapps from another website and copied to the root of the internal memory (Xperia doesn't have memory card ?)
5. Installed CWM recovery (6.0.3 ?) using Recover X
6. Flashed CM kernal from the CM9.1 nozomi zip (boot.img) using flashtool 0.9.11
7. Backed up the existing data using CWM.
8. Flashed CM9.1 nozomi using CWM and then Gapps. Factory reset and Cache clear.
9. Stuck at FreeXperia logo
10. Gone to CWM and restored the backup but it gave an error with "can't format with mkextf4 /dev/block/mmcblk3322 (or something like that)
11. Stuck at XPERIA logo (animation)
12. Installed the CM9.1 and Gapps and then factory reset, cache reset and Dalvik cache clear (when I press on "clear Dalvik Cache", I don't see any message in the log btw)
13. Stuck at CM9.1 Robot animation (the matrix ?)
Please help guys...its my only phone and I'm a busy guy regarding phone calls and emails
Thanks for reading
Does flashing a different kernal a good idea ?
Where did you download your cm? FXP or CM official website? You can fix it by flashing stock firmware using flashtool.

Yeah, CM official website !
So, should I just download the stock firmware.zip and flash it with recovery or I have to download the .ftf file ?
I flashed the Pure ICS kernal but its stuck at the "Pure ICS kernal" logo.
What should I do now ?
Download the stock firmware ftf and flash it ?
From where I can get the kernal for the stock firmware?
Thanks bro for the reply !

The stock ftf includes kernel so don't worry. Flash the stock ftf and report the results.

Man ! I hate this
I have installed the drivers from the driver folder in the flashtool but when I connect my mobile in flashmode (green led), the add hardware wizard pops up and within 2 seconds, the phone boots up freezing the system.
The flashtool displays an error saying "install drivers".
I have installed all drivers using flashtool's driver installer but why does it still say its not installed ?
Are you using windows 8?
You have a locked bootloader?... CM9 won't work on a locked bootloader

BTW, I tried another system with more updated Windows where I could install the driver using hardware wizard successfully but the flashtool gives an another error now and the phone boots up.
Didn't note the error down...gonna do it again to see what it says !
EDIT:
Can I use fastboot mode instead of flash mode in the flashtool ?
Now, it doesn't even recognize the phone....I mean, even if I connect it in flash mode (green led), the flashtool doesn't start the flashing
EDIT:
Is there any way I could access its memory ?
I'm thinking about downloading a stock ROM and kernal and flash it using CWM.
A miracle has happened!!
I could flash the firmware successfully., thanks JZ
Now I'm wondering whether I should go ahead and flash the cm9.1 again!!
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

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?

Hello,
my friend's xperia arc is stuck on sony logo and can't seem to get it to boot to cwm. Can boot it to fastboot mode and the computer regonizes it.
It got stuck like this after I had rooted the phone, installed cwm, and then unlocked the bootloader. After that I booted to cwm, wiped and tried to flash cm9 rom but it failed. Then I just decided to reboot cwm, but now I can't get there anymore. I have full nandroid backup from stock rom.
So is there something I could try here?
Edit:
Okay I got to boot a cwm after I used fastboot to flash LuPuS-ARC-CM9.img http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878728
So it seems that the recovery is wrong for the device and that's why it won't flash cm9. It "says": assert failed getprop( ro.product.device )
Now I'm restoring the stock rom back from the nandroid backup.
Try flashing the Kernel which is there in cm9 rom zip...boot to recovery... Then install rom...

I think I got a right cwm in and was able to flash cm9 but it got bootloop. So now I just flashed some stock firmware with cwm and restored the backup. Seems fine now, maybe when I have more timm ill get cm rom in it.
Don't wipe /system. Causes error on installing CM and thereby CM is not installed and phone has no OS to boot up.
Also, Xperia Arc phones may require flashing Arc S ICS firmware first to correct the partitions.

Any chance that you could give link to the right kernels? There are so many for this device.
Or are these the right steps that I need to do?
Step-2) Download & Flash Xperia Arc-S 4.0.4_587 ftf pack, just exclude two things
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
http://d-h.st/cyw
After flash power up your phone and let it start completely, now copy rom zip into SD card , and Power off your phone
It will give you 440-MB internal memory and 419-MB System Rom memory
If you already have 419-MB System memory then you can skip this step
3) Download and flash Baseband From Post no 2 as per your device

4) Go into recovery and wipe these things
4.1- wipe factory data
4.2- wipe cache partition
4.3- wipe dalvik cache
4.4- Wipe System ( you can find it in mount & storage option in recovery)
5) Now flash The Main rom after flash Tick unknown source
rom: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/7072/cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip

And yes, those steps are correct.
