you have to flash the only compatible kernel for this rom, fusion 4.0
search for it, you won't get any problem flashing racing bean

[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

Restore your phone using Sony Update Service, since you have locked bootloader.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

Woops, Help needed

Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a problem, I decided to upgrade the girlfriends Arc S as shes got bored with the rom on it. Something went wrong during the flash or the proceedure or something and now I've got nothing but a sony logo when it turns on. I can flashboot it and access it with flashtool but when I try to flash something it says I need to root it first. Flashtool isn't giving me the option to root it (I was updating the rom to 4.1.2).
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

What did you try to flash with flashtool? Ftf files don't gives error about root... Kernels give the error when you try to flash on unlocked boatloader... Download a stock ftf file and flash...

Maybe you should flash some other recovery. I recommend taking the boot.img from the zip of the latest CyanogenMod nightly for ZL. After that you can flash the rom of your choice.

Okay, I think now I may have accidentally hardbricked my phone. I tried relocking and re-unlocking my bootloader. Everything went ok but now I cant start the phone. When I press the power button it only vibrates once and then thats it. Flashtool detects it in both flashmode and fast boot but I cant flash any recovery. Please don't tell me its the end for my phone.

psycho-punk said:
If you can get your phone in fastboot or flashmode, your phone is not hard bricked. There is still hope.
What do you mean you can't flash recovery?

Something weird happened.I clicked on the BLU button on flashtool and it says my device is still unlocked. After unlocking using flash tool I am now able to flash CWM and TWRP. But both recoveries still would not let me install the roms I mentioned earlier. It still thinks that I'm on another device. Currently downloading CM11 from the CM website. Waiting for my download to finish. But I have a feeling it still wouldn't work. btw, thanks for going through step by step with me. I'm still new to xperia devices. Owned an s plus last time and the whole rom flashing process wasn't really hard like this one.lol
EDIT: UPDATE!!! I have finally found the reason for my problem. I flashed an incorrect version of the boot.img.Because I dump all the stuff related to flashing rom and I dont really remember the location in which I downloaded the boot.img. So what I did was I extracted the whole content of the rom that I downloaded proceed to flash the boot.img using flashtool. from there on, everything works perfectly! thanks for your help. Without ur suggestion, I wouldn't have tought of manually getting the boot.img!

[Q] [help]CWM for Xperia M 4.3 Jelly bean.

Guys, I need your help because I always keep messing up with my phone and got always stuck in bootloop. i am fed up with downloading and repairing my phone using PC companion. So, what I was thinking that if I install CWM then I can easily flash my phone back to normal, but the problem with this is that I don't know how to install the CWM for the phone.So I came up here to get some help from you guys, because PC companion takes hours repairing my phone. Please help, I always mess up while swapping the sd-card with internal memory.

Just use flashtool to fix (re-flashing) your phone with FTF file that matches your phone. You can learn in this tutorial

Not yet, you have to unlock it to have CWM.
