Hello,
I have rooted my device and installed Recovery.
Then in Recovery I wipe dalvik and format system. After that i wanted to install a rom, but it hangs.
So i put out the battery, and now my sony arc s is hanging on the logo.
How can I resolve this please?
How is the button for recovery?
Or another advice
Thank you
Why did you wipe dalvik and system.....
Are installing custom Rom? if so go back and read Carefully what is needed, you might need custom kernel or need to wipe clean other things as well.
you may need to reflash the phone either with pc companion Or with flashtools. To get back to stock

Got in the same situation, had to remove battery. What I did to get out of this is reflash .42 firmware(GB) with flashtool.
For now, I'm glad to stick with .62, more games can run & with less fc issues unlike ICS.
Press the Back Button on Startup sveral times . After the splashscreen you see the recovery .

i was rooting my arc s and it was successfully rooted after that i wanted to install some custom rom on it, i tryed the Modded ICS one and installed there boot.img and now my phone just reboots after it shows the "XPERIA" logo
Please help im new at flashing )
Thanks
hi
So u have flashed boot but not rom?
U need to have the rom on your SD .
Turn off phone boot it up and when boot logo appears repeatly press back button (not sure if there's an indicater on that kernel or not)
This should boot cwm when in cwm make a backup
Select backup and restore then backup
When this completes wipe data ,clear cache and advanced clear dalvik cache
now select install zip from SD ,then choose zip from SD,then locate your rom file select it and hit yes when it finishes ,reboot and enjoy
Volume rocker moves up and down
And home or power button selects
If u can't get into cwm u have made a mistake flashing boot so reflash it before the above
Failing this return to stock by flash original fw thru flash tool
Plenty of tuts on that just search
Hope that helps

is not the solution,i try several times,and always the same results.
Try:
1) copy your rom into sdcard.
2) flash your kernel under fastboot mode, then reboot.
3) keep press volumn button while rebooting, it should b under cwm screen.
4) wipe dalvik cache under advance
5) wipe data partition
6) factory reset, then reboot again
7) go into cwm screen again, then choose install zip frm sdcard, choose n run the rom that u copy into sdcard earlier. Reboot again after completed.
8) u shall wait for a while when restarting... Then should b ok....
U may try this, dunno whether work for u not.

I flashed my arc s last night with ICS Kernel with CWM Recovery and JJ's rom, had the same problem but as the above poster mentioned, wipe everything sorted out the problem.
Note: Just factory reset not enough you have to wipe everything
I have a r800i and when I try to boot it with DoomKernel ICS v0.3 it always boot into the recovery even though I have a room installed.
I installed xDark ICS by opening the zip. I also did a factory wipe, wiped the cache, the debian one, but it still only boots into recovery. When I used DoomKernal v14 with the NXT rom, it boots fine although I can't enter recovery (so I can't patch the wifi). Using the default ftf everything works normally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also search the forums for similar problems but I've only found similar problems with other phones using other kernals and roms.
I am having the same problem, except I cannot even get at recovery, it just sits at Kernel splash screen. Otherwise I'd have restored my nandroid backup already.
I flashed ics doomkernel, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik then flashed rom in CWM and now my device is stuck.
Bootloader unlocked r800a
Can anyone help us two?

:highfive:Both cases sound like bad flashes. For the first post I'd say CWM restore it and try to reflash. For the second post, I'd say use flashtool on your pc and flash a stock rom again.
Hi, i was helping a friend install a custom rom, on his xperia s. And seems i might have messed up. i need help urgently. i rooted the phone and installed cwm. i can access the recovery. i tried flashing Hybrid MooDeD JB-ICS but the phone doesnt boot. The screen stays black. i wiped cache, dalvik cache and also did a factory reset. What should i do? i even tried to repair the phone using pc companion and it isnt working! I rooted and installed the recovery using the flash tool.

Ok if you can access recovery then get out the sd card and put it in another working phone then add few more default ROM-s and try them till it's boot.because maybe problem is kernel and you dont know what kernel is in there.
Or just try to flash an other proper kernel.

First of all, don't post questions in the development section, to answer your question, read the guides and stickys which should have been your first port of call.
no real need to put sd card in another phone.
just boot into cwm, goto mounts and storage. and look for something like mount USB storage.
and voila, your sd card will appear on your pc.
p.s try wiping /system from mounts and storage and flashing rom again

First if you want a custom rom on your phone, you will probably need a custom kernel ass well . Kernel is the bios for your phone and rom the OS. Go to the Rom thread and read there witch kernel is recommended for that rom. After flashing the kernel, go to CWM (Recovery) and flash the custom Rom and finally flash the wifi modules associated to that kernel.
CM based Roms does not work at all with stock kernels, they have their own kernels.
If you want a recommendation (for Kernel, Rom, baseband) look in my signature, you have links included !
Don`t forget the procedure for installing custom Rom (wipe everything : factory default, /system, /data, /dalvik) and only after wiping all install the rom.
Problems (assumed):
1. Locked bootloader
2. Didn't flash kernel
Fixes:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash kernel via flashtool.
Hi All,

I have tried with flashing stock kernel but nothing happens please help... i want to install custom ROM
Have you formatted system, data, cache partitions? I had similar problem with flashing a stock based rom because of such a stupid mistake.

Formatting /system on locked bootloader is the stupidest thing to do (I guess). You basically delete the Recovery and get in trouble.
You guessed wrong because some stock based roms require system partition to be formatted and not doing this caused some serious problems for me also flashing back to stock with flashtool is like pushing one button and then waiting for 5 minutes for flashing to complete so I don't see a problem here.

I have done every time these steps.
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe delvik cache
Format system
Install rom from cwm.
Again clear cache and reboot gives me stuck at sony logo
I take it your phone as it should if you install stock ftf try ultimate hd just out of curiosity

I think I see a cause of your problems now... your rom is .431 but two of these roms base on .587 firmware and third one requires a custom kernel so try again with .587 kernel and report if this helped.

So please can you tell me the correct sequence to put custom rom....?
1st install kernel and then rom or or install the rom and then kernel?
It would be the best if you could unlock your bootloader but if you can't or don't want to then:
Download and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/957gfo1kaf7pefe/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf (its stock untouched .587 ftf for arc s that I've used many times)
Root then install CWM with x-parts
Reboot to CWM format data cache system and dalvik cache
Install your rom
Reboot
And remember that you can use only stock based roms so racing bean wont work.
Hey guys! I've searched alot about this issue but I couldn't find anyone having this problem.
I've got the Xperia arc LT15i with the stock kernel and some 2.3.7 custom rom... can't remember exactly nw.
Off late my phone was responding very slow, so I entered the CWM recovery, cleared the dalvik cache and then performed a factory reset from CWM recovery itself.
Now the problem I face is that I do not get a lockscreen... the default slide to unlock one?
Is it of any use to mention that I used to use linktosd and linked nearly all apps to SD card.
Help would be greatly appreciated
reflash stock rom with flashtool and then flash custom rom, or if you can still access cwm, flash custom rom again
Try this
Go to settings/security/lockscreen security.
Choose slide (the second one)
