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...

Hi,
There is such post in Dev forum, but it was never answered... I have ArcS with FXP45 on it, but didn't flash SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom before flashing this one... Now I have high battery drain and found that this SEMC version fixes it. Can I now flash it and then go back to CM7?
Thanks,
Michal
yes you can
you can flash .42 and then flash cm7
thanks - that worked well

It's never easy to really brick an arc than a galaxy tablet, had the mainboard replaced. flashtool really a very good tool to revive an arc.
Calm down then try this 1 by 1

Hi, Janto
For me, just flashing a custom rom it can't block u getting into cwm. It may stuck with the Kernel's logo/bootAnimation but should passes the CWM notification first.
If you could provide info(Name & version) of your kernel & rom, it would be better for us to help you bring your expensive device back to life:fingers-crossed:
My suggestion is:
1. Use Fastboot to flash a good kernel (Anyone from the development section), then CWM, thought you know how to do a flash again
2. If above step not works, download flashtool (The top thread in the development section) and a complete tft files, then do a flash using the flashtool, this should give you a brand new phone.
BTW: you r BL or not? search for X-parts if u r still locked.
Greetings
I'm new to the Xperia play scene, i have one, version R800i and i acquire some help from anyone experienced in this.
I have been doing some research in rooting, unlocking and installing roms on this device and i have succesfully rooted and unlocked it.
After doing so i also installed the Recovery System using ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 install batches, then i continued and tried to flash XperiaPlay Ice Cream Pureness ver.1 through Recovery, which, failed and soft bricked my phone... so i then used Flashtool to downgrade to a stock firmware that i randomly found on the forums.
So the firmware installed is GB 2.3.3 and i was on 2.3.4 previously. I thought i could update my phone to a higher firmware using the PC companion app but it fails saying that my device is modified somehow and cannot upgrade... ok, well, i thought maybe using a ROM anyways so i tried installing Recovery system again but X-parts now says that my phone is unsupported...
Basically i'm stuck on 2.3.3, and i'd like to use a ROM which unlocks its maximum potential.
Any help appreciated!

Thanks for that!
Also is it a specific kernel for each ROM? or there a lot i can choose from?
Would help a lot if u could tell me what ROM is recommended for gaming.
I'm owner of a rooted SGSII with resurrection ROM. Modding a Play is harder xD

well the thing with a xperia play and all 2011 xperia devices is you can't flash the kernel via recovery like most phones,
Kernels are specific to each version and branch. AOSP,CM etc need a different kernel to SE. ICS and GB also have different kernels.
The rom i recommend for gaming is the one i am currently working on, based on TrueAncestor but need to get approval from here before releasing it.
same lol

lol WTF the same thing happened to me half an hour ago, with the same rom!! i have been searching for a solution. i have a r800a if u find a solution pm me plz!
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)

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 geeks, please help me out wai, I was updating my xperia arc s via OTA and dumsor happened all I could do is watch my run out of battery and go off, when the light was in, I powered my phone on just to see it stuck in a boot loop with xperia on the screen that's all. I flashed it with xpreia flash tool using ICS 4.0.4 since that's the FW version it had before but still it remained in boot loop just as it was before, I then downgraded to gingerbread and still stick in boot loop.Hmmm am worried indeed can someone please help me out? maybe recommend a different software for the flashing cos I Google and all they recommend is the flashtool I had used before. Plsssss Help
