With the ARC S is it possible to flash recovery only?
Some custom kernels are flashing CMW version 6.x.x.x which creates a blob's folder.
I want to be able to down grade CMW to version 5.x.x.x or earlier.
The ARC S isn't supported by CMW
So if it is possible, where can I get the .img file?

No. It's not possible to flash recovery only as there is no recovery partition.
One way is to modify stock kernel and add it. Than flash that kernel.
Other way is to install x-part app from play. App will install cwm into system. If you are not looking for sd-ext and init.d support this is way to go.
Otherwise there are three stock based 587 kernel available. All working but none of them 100% correct.

custom roms are modified versions of your current stock rom to make it beautiful and faster.
flashable zips are of 2 types:
1. They are made for updating/adding something in your current rom.
2. Its a file format which lets you to install things using cwm. It can be a rom itself too!

u can flash a rom from stock recovery too but as I said above, it is recommended to use so that u can restore ur phone if something goes wrong. Wen i tried to flash boot.img frm stock recovery it gave an error but wen u flash it from cwm it is successful . Any more doubts or are you still unsatisfied? ASK MORE!

its depends on scripting... stock recovery runs only amend scripting but cwm 3.0 or later edify scrpiting... and it has so many options then stock... one notable option and frequently using option is dalvik cache wipe... this is y most of em prefer cwm...
I GUESS THIS IS THE ANSWER... BUT IM NOT SURE ABOUT... GOOGLE IT FOR MORE INFO... I READ IT SOMEWHERE ONCE UPON A TIME... SO I FORGET SOME OF THE THINGS...
stock recovery require your zip to be signed for security reason. cmw is not. signing itself is simple process that only need few second, but once you signing your zip you can't change it's content. you must resign your zip if you do. that's why some people prefer cmw, because you can easily change zip content with regular archive manager without resign.

Let's get to your qeury . . . Flashing via stock or CWM
With CWM Recovery you can:
Flash boot.img (kernel)
Flash Custom ROMS
Flash .zips without resinging packages
Choose what partition to be mounted during flash
With stock:
Flash boot.img (kernel) -but most kernel are ment to be flashed via CWM as it has a higher chance of success and less likely to cause bootloops
Flash Custom ROMS - but some ROMS use scripts that are NOT SUPPORTED by stock recovery
Flash .zips but requires zips to be signed and resigned if there are modifications on the package

that's not stock recovery problem, but custom rom problem. a lot of custom rom have poorly written (or generated) updater-script. rom dev put a lot of work on making his/her rom looks good, but give very small attention to installation process. some rom event try to mount /dev/stl19 to /system in instalation process. that partition not exist in sgy. and updater-script not depend to which recovery that you use. it's depend to updater-binary inside your zip file.

Kernel are inside the zip packages.
If im not mistaken, baseband file are too.
Flash baseband using flashtool.
Just put it inside firmware folder.

To flash baseband.
Open flashtool
drag and drop ftf-file onto flashtool window, new window opens up where you select what parts to flash, don't need to change anything, usually.
Follow on screen instructions.

i dont understand, so should i just install the zip through recovery and the kernel will flash with the rom, or i should unpack the zip file, flash the boot.img with fastboot and then flash the rom through recovery?
copy zip-file to sd-card.
Unpack the boot.img file that's in the zip-file to a place on your hdd. run "fastboot boot boot.img" to install cwm kernel.
reboot phone.
go into cwm by pressing volume down a couple of times.
wipe!
install zip.

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

I did flash my phone before with CM 9 but I've completely forgotten how to do it.

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?

I think You will have to revert to stock for that and then root and install cwm. Here is the link to stock ftf, Select which ever suitable. I don't know which root works on Your device, so do check the thread for it. Then install the cwm.

Well, You can try this app. It is an app to manage ROM and CWM, and hopefully will install CWM on Your phone.

UPDATE: I just need to flash the Kernel provided in the ROM ZIP package (Boot.img)...
How can i forget such a simple step
thanks anyways...
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)

The kernel is the boot.img inside the ROM zip.
And yes, those steps are correct.
