Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!
trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.
Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

The phone isnt bricked because of the rom, you may have done something wrong

i really don't know what happened....i got the rom from like 2 weeks and know i wanted to install the stock rom and when i wanted to do downloading nothing....the battery is charged but nothing he's dead....
Well, it didnt happened if things didnt messed up.
You must have done something wrong...
Can you still boot anything? Recovery , android?!

nope he's dead....
The rom cant possible kill your phone its proven
Only after many many flashes your recovery will have problems with backing up
But isnt really needed
Only thing that could kill it was some apps that arent for this phone
Like rom manager etc
Things that require root etc

its simple,
verrify that you have your bootloader unlocked in sony site.
fallow the instructions in his post.or Briefly but I will tell you how to do it,
back to stock gb 2.3.4 with flashtool(wipe cache and data checked),then finish the setup wizard after the phone is starts.
reset.flash with fastboot lupus\doomkernel for ics.click the back button constantly when the phone is starts with the new kernel to enter official cmw5.
wipe cache do factory reset and wipe delvik.flash from sd marks part 1 rom.finish.reboot.finish setup wizard.pull battery (not shutdown or reboot).and flash part 2 in cmw.thats all i think!
sorry for my bad english and if i missed something.I myself have not installed the new rom, the last version was that i used was update 4.

Read the OP in the thread. It explains everything properly
my phone is t-mobile xperia s and wants to root, install cwm, n flash customised roms
phone is rooted SU is installed but when i checked unlocke bootloader (*#*#7378423#*#*) bootloader unlock alowed : No
is there any way to unlock bootloader n install cwm and flash roms???? please help
many thanks in advance

U can't unlock your bootloader because no one find a solution and still a work in progress. You can install cwm and flash stock based roms. Check Xperia S android development section.
One more thing, don't ask questions in general section.

I know it shouldn't be posted in general section but I really want to know: why would some ppl got devices with no allowance to unlock bootloader?
Is it a random condition or something...?
Thx

No, it's because of network providers who ask Sony to do that. Those who bought mobiles as contract(pay monthly) have their bootloader locked and unable to unlock anywhere. Only Sony can do that :screwy:

Qualcomm has decided to stop further development for driver for Snapdragon S3 chipset, so Ion will never get update to 4.2.2 official firmware but you can use only 4.2.2 custom rom if you have unlocked bootloader

I am not going to get that. This guy knows very little about what he is doing. Almost all his roms have wifi/data problems...
