This was my first time trying to load a custom kernel and rom to my Arc. I chose Doomkernel and the Ice bean rom. Everything installed fine but I can't get wifi or 3g working. After reinstalling the kernel and the rom several times I've still not been able to get wifi or 3g working.
I eventually gave up on doomkernel and tried to install Arc Knight. After flashing the Arc Knight kernel I get the Arc Knight splash screen. After about 10 seconds the phone reboots and loads the Doomkernel O_O.
I really like the Ice Bean rom and would love to get it working. What am I doing wrong? I pretty noob when it comes to android/linux so I need some help please!

Given how old DoomLords Kernel is I'm surprised People still recommend it. As for the above, sounds like you've not used the right command - fastboot flash boot NAME OF KERNEL.img
derp. I was using fastboot boot imagename. Reflashing now...
Thanks!
OK. I was able to change to the Arc Knight rom. Now reinstalling Ice Bean. Hopefully the Wifi and 3g will be working...
Nope. Wifi and 3g are still not working. Any ideas? (I have installed the stock drivers)

Second EDIT: Ignore
Just did that and got the wifi working
Still not sure if 3g is working.
Gar... 3G is not working
Reinstall a stock 587 ROM with the flashtool and start over.
Which would you recommend XD?

Sorry: noob question inc. I downloaded Flashtool... were do I get the stock rom and kernel from? Then how do I use in flash tool.
Sorry I am sure the answer is on the forum somewhere but there are so many damn posts to sift through and I am tired and fed up...!

Do I just need to flash the ROM or do I need to flash stock kernel as well? Also where do I find the 587 ROM?
Flashed orginal firmware with flash tool and same problem.
Mods: Please close this thread and I will start a new one with a more suitable title.
Thanks

Hello everyone last week i got pissed at my arc s because of its stockness.Stock,kernel,rom,widges,slow ui,locked bootloader,not rooted etc etc etc.The i decied to unlock my bootloader,after few hours of research i found out that the only way to unlock it is the paid method i got pissed.Then i decied to install a custom rom and heres what i did"
Since i coudnt instal nor get into cwm i found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ..
i installed the program,rooted my phone with DoomLoards method(the one for ICS phones) and then downloaded to rom
What i did next is to download few rom and tested and here are the roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 , I did all of the steps with wiping data/cache atc when i installed all the roms,but just choosed the other archive file for the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475 < which im using now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515148
Remmember that i cant get into cwm if i turn of the phone for some reason,so i run the xperia cwm program and got into it.After that just follow the steps given in the rom's topic "How to install" and thats it.
After 2 reboots my phone was running all of the listed rom which needed unlocked bootloader in order to be installed
I would love some1 else to test my method
To flash new kernal u need bootloder unlock so u cant change kernal in locked bootloader
Roms like
Cm7&9
N miui wont work
Ics base Rom may work
Well yes
im running them with stock kernel.Right now im using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475 MuIU and it runs perfectly much better then the stock ICS i had before every with 80 100 free ram

Hi I would like to try what you have mentioned. However, I am currently still on the GB ROM. I have rooted my phone. I presume I need to flash to ICS first before trying your method.
Is there anyway I can flash a stock ICS ROM with a locked bootloader using flashtools? Stock ICS is not released for my region yet so I can't do it by the usual PC Companion way I think.
I dont think that u need to install stock ICS before using this "method".Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ and then do the steps said in the rom u want to install.I would suggest u to read very carefuly the tutorial provided by the rom's developer so u wont srew your phone like i did the 1st time aka dele cavik cache/farcroty reset etc etc.U can use the instructions from this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 .U can put any rom u want on the sd card but the steps before that got to be the same
So basically what you did was install a Stock Based ROM without install the kernel that ROM need right? And is working?
I have ROOT and ICS Stock, i already search and i was thinking to install a Stock Based ROM without ROM custom kernel but i was afraid
So seams you try it and work right?
Yes ive tried those 3 roms and they work with the stock kernel that my arc s comes with,they detect the phone as lt18i etc etc.Mind that if your bootloader is locked you probably wont be able to get into recovery vie the normal way aka press to volume keys up and down,thats why u need to install the xperia cwm program and reboot into recovery with it.If you do something wrong and your phone freezes at the xperia logo we can fix that(flashing the stick ICS with flashtool using flashmode (holding the back key)

I think you should install ICS first because those roms require baseband 70, that comes with ICS.
I cant confirm that my methot will work with GB since i did not try it

ME too have the same question
@gogobaba can you please try your method with JJ Hybrid ROM
2) KERNELS
a) Sirkay's ICS Kernel HERE (For Overclocking )
b) Arc Knight Kernel by jimbo77 HERE (for Overclocking)
OR
b) Stock ICS Beta Kernel with CWM HERE (thanks cobrato)
OR
c) DoomLord ICS kernel with Wifi Modules .
Sorry guys but i cant try it i dont have the time to reinstall my phone again and i dont have wifi or mobile internet for my programs to be downloaded again.
I have my doubts that this rom will work because of the kernels.Check b) its says stock ICS beta kernel i dont know if this is the stock kernel of the arc or its some other kernel.Ask in the rom's topic if u can install this rom with the stock kernel.If u can they you should be albe to install it.
Mind that i cant be held responsive if something goes wrong with your phone.I can verefy only the roms from the 1st post

i tried installing arconium miui and didn't work.
Its working perfectly fineon my phone did u follow all the steps?1st time i installed it without deleting the date and it didnt work
does arconium miui has hebrew?
i did a factory reset and it still didn't work, and now i lost all my apps.
Hi,
I bought the phone used (r800i) and flashed it right away I didn't check if wifi worked or not. But now it doesn't :/
I tried DoomLord Kernel with the modules, tried the LuPuS one too with no luck :crying:
Tried ICS and GB with those kernels and nothing :/
Also tried with flashtools the following roms still with no luck:
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_EnhancedV2
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437)
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced
R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World
Wifi and BT show mac address unavailable :/
I've read a lot of threads but in every case it should be simple, flash kernel, flash rom and flash modules after, but I can't get it to work
Thanks.
Edit: Tried more roms, also bluetooth now works. but still no wifi

Hi thanks, but it didn't work. I can see the BT mac if i enable it. But when I enable wifi it doesn't show the icon and after 30seconds or so it automatically turns off.

You need to flash the wifi fix for you kernel. Flash it with cwm recovery not with flash tool. Hope this would help.. thanks me then
Did you flash the correct module?

Yeah I believe so. I flashed the 4.0.A.2.368 tft and wifi didn't work. Yesterday I tried flashing the doomkernel v03 for that firmware and it didn't change a thing.
I believe it may be a hardware problem.

Wait, v03? That's ICS kernel isn't it? And most of Xperia Play's development uses .42/.58/.62 firmware so you might be using the wrong kernel with the wrong firmware.
http://www.mediafire.com/?s93d99wisca54es & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502
Flash the firmware with flashtool, then flash kernel. Power on your device, keep pressing L, that will bring you to CWM. Go install zip from sd, select zip from sd, then select doomkernel v14 wifi modules. Install that. Then your WiFi should work now.
I've read and the v03 was the right kernel for 4.0.A.2.368. I was in that fw because I tried almost every tft available.
I also tried what you said and still got the same result. Thanks for your help anyway
If you flash only ftf and don't flash doomkernel? Still the same?

Hey
Maybe there's someone out there who can help me...
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 on my Sony arc (LT15i) with the firmware arc 4.1.b.0.431...
I'm fighting all day with the issue. I'm trying to flash this MIUI version.
First I flashed and rooted the custom ROM with these instructions
Everything was OK
I installed CWM (the newest I got), flashed MIUI, but after restarting the system the only thing I get to see is SONY logo...
Please help me someone...

Try flashing the kernel from the FXP152 rom.
Or use flashtool to flash it back to stock, see this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486

Your suppoosed to be on 2.3.4 firmware before installing cm9 or cm10 rom. Use flashtool to flash firmware. Then on fastboot flash cm9 kernel later boot your device and enter recovery in cwm and wipe all caches. Then install cm zip in cwm.

If your kernel screen comes up then its not bricked. Just flash the stock ftf. Search for it as r800x stock 2.3.3 ftf. Download flash tool and flash it with that. Its self explanatory. Also Zeus is for r800i you need to use zeusc though it should still have booted (only service wouldn't work). After flashing ftf try again and make sure you clear data/cache/dalvik and format system from recovery before installing. Also it might just take a a couple minutes to boot. Don't worry about bricking the play. Flash tool will fix almost all software problems. Usually the only way to mess it up is physically.
