[ARC S] Stuck at Sony logo after flashing Jelly Bean - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
my first post here on forums and I have a problem.. I Flashed this room LINK via cwm on my Xperia Arc S. I had stock android 4.0 before with stock kernel. The flashing process was completed, phone rebooted but now it's getting stuck everytime I turn it on on Sony logo, I can't even enter recovery mode :/ . Any ideas what I can do? Would be great if you can help... Thanks.

You'll have to reflash a tft, either jelly sandwich or stock or another custom rom

is there any guide how to do that? Im new with this phone got it yesterday.

you'll have to download a ftf that you want such as stock ics and then use flashtool to flash to your phone just like what you did before. there are abundant guides on youtube on how to do it if you did it wrong previously here's one

thank you so much it works now

Install a kernel with CWM.

[Q] Help! please!

I was on official ICS till now, and I'm not very familiar with android's custrom roms, rooting, etc. I wanted to get JB via CM10 on my phone, so today I unlocked my bootloader on my Xperia S LT26i using this link (unable to post links so google it) Xperia S : Update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Cyanogenmod 10 on androidlegend .com
It was mentioned that I should be having clockwork mod recovery on my phone and used this link to get it - How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Sony Xperia S on android.gs
I haven't rooted it, now it's stuck on clockworkmod and I don't know what I should do! Am i bricked? please help
ps: i used cmd to flash nozomi-recovery.img
Do you have cm10 downloaded on your fone already as a zip file? Or was it last still running ics?

It was still on official ICS, only with an unlocked bootloader, didn't do anything else! I'm a noob to all this so please bear with me
On a laptop/pc. Download advanced stock kernel and follow the guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23181182#post23181182
Then you should be able to boot to ics again and be rooted with cwm. (keep pressing volume up when the lights come on on boot up)
Then if you already have cm10 downloaded on your fone just choose flash zip from sd. If not. Boot back up and download the rom before booting into recovery and then flash zip

Is it okay if I directly download JB rom and flash it via cmd fastboot instead of downloading stock ICS and flashing it?
As far as I'm aware you can only fastboot the kernel file. Hence y if you were on ics you need an ics kernel so you can boot up to download the cm10 rom to the sd card

So now I'll need to download stock ICS rom, flash it via fast boot and then download CM10 JB and then flash it via CWM? Thanks for taking your time to help me out..
You might find that just fastbooting the ics kernel will make it all work again as you've technically not changed the rom yet. Just the kernel file. If not just download a stock ftf firmware file. Flash with Flashtool and then start again using advanced stock kernel first.
Always keep a copy of the advanced stock kernel zip on your sd card. It's very useful even if you're on cm10 as some of the cm kernels wont flash properly

go Binary... root it first and then install recovery for xperia s

[Q] Returning Xperia Play R800i To Stock UK GB Rom

Hi
My xperia play is currently on jb 4.1.2 (paranoid android rom 2.57.1-wedges with the turbo kernel) and very nice it is too,
I however want to restore it to the original uk stock rom that allowed games to be played etc so i can sell it as i have bought an xperia t.
Do i just use flashtool (Using the guide in the general section) and install the original GB stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.42 or is there anything else i have to do / beware of / Will this also flash the kernel back to stock. I am assuming that the turbo kernel wont work with a stock GB rom.
Thanks

Worked fine, the only issue i had was the phone wanted to update, but it kept giving me a message in pc companion that it could not update as it had been modified, I unrooted it and tried again same error, so tried a full flash again with the .42ftf, same error again. Finally reflashed with the .62. ftf, its not trying to update anymore. I think there is a problem with the root as it says its not rooted anymore but flashtool says it still is
Now to work on my new xperia t.

[Q] Can not flash a JB kernel without getting in a bootloop

Hi Guys, I tried to upgrade my bro's phone from ICS to JB. It was a stock all the way through. I unlocked the BL,rooted it, install CWM and then tried to flash a JB kernel using fastboot in flashtool.
But i am getting stuck in the logo screen only,nothing after that. I have tried with almost all the available JB kernel out there without any success, finally had to give up and revert back to stock using ftf file.
Any idea why is it happening? Is there any JB rom out there which does not include flashing a JB kernel before installing the ROM?
I hate to give up now so please guys help me out.

That's because ics can't boot in jb kernel... Flash kernel... Turn off turn on... Keep pressing volume down button... You will go to recovery... From there install rom...

Trouble going back to JB from kitkat

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting back from a KitKat Rom to an JB or ICS ROM.
I'm getting stuck with the firmware. It's flashing OK (I've tried several different ones), but when I boot up and try to get into CWM it just sits there on the firmware logo (e.g. the LUPUS logo, or the Rush logo).
Is there something fundamentally stopping me going back to an ICS or JB firmware, after I've previously had KitKat running?
HELP
Oh, this is the Kitkat ROM I originally installed, and it's included kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570072
If I flash that kernel again, I can get into Kitkat successfully, no problem at all.
As above, if I flash any other kernel, I just can't get into CWM.

You can flash stock ICS firmware using Flashtool, then flash a JB custom kernel with a recovery. From there, use the recovery to flash a JB ROM.

Thanks for your reply.
What is the need for flashing an ICS kernel first?
I'll give it a go, but flashing a custom ICS kernel with a recovery I've been unable to get into CWM.
I'm probably doing something really stupid.

Flashing ICS is recommended first since this will restore you phone's memory partitions. KK uses different memory partitions to make it run properly. This will also wipe your phone's data and allows you to do a clean install that should eliminate most errors that you encounter during ROM installation.
Ok, thanks so much for the advice
I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on!
Ok, I'm back on Gingerbread stock firmware
Android v2.3.4, Build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I can't find an ICS based FTF file - everything is either 404 or on hotfiles, which is dead.
I've unlocked the bootloader (which I thought I'd already done, but maybe the flash of the firmware undoes that?)
Not sure where to go from here.
