Unlocked bootloader, right?
Well... I started flashing with the FXP CM based roms. I suppose that this is exactly what you did, but since you didn't tell the steps you followed, I'm gonna write down how I did the first time:
With an FXP CM based rom (eg: FXP CM 10) , the steps, basically are:
- Extract the boot.img (own kernel of the FXP roms) of the .zip and put the .zip in the sdcard
- Flash the kernel in fastboot mode:
( fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce flash reboot
unplug the usb and start hiting volume controls to enter in CWM)
- Wipe data and cache
- Install the .zip (rom)
- Reboot and enjoy
Hope it works for you.
Aactually I am not. Able to flash kernel image with fastboot.. I mean with flashtool I am not Able to flash kernel image.. flashtool is showing error that my phone is not rooted.. but it actually is..
And suppose if i want to install ROM( jelly sandwich) can u tell me the procedure from the scratch, I ll really appreciate it.. coz I am trying for 2 days with negative result...

I'm noob too, so unfortunately I can't help in the most effective way.
The only apparent difference between our phones (from what I understood from your post) is that I unlocked the bootloader. I read here in XDA that some roms just need this while others not.
"can u tell me the procedure from the scratch, I ll really appreciate it" - You mean unlock the BL?
It's easy, but may void the warranty... Go here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
(Note: In my case I didn't install the sdk, but I just can't find the tutorial that I followed to unlock the BL... Anyway, the tutorial that I've used was in portuguese... Not much help for you I guess
Note2: In the middle of the process, you'll have to inform your IMEI in the sony website... Use just the first 14 digits).
There is enough information in the guides and stickys to help with most things, People just need to read it.

When I want to know sth, I search and then I will have more than I wanted.:angel:
1. unlock the boot loader
2. Download a custom kernel for your current version of android ie: GB/ICS i suggest DoomLord.
3.Put the kernel ( .img ) into the same folder as you have fastboot/adb
4. Power the phone into fastboot: Power down your phone. Press and hold the menu button then plug in your usb cable (the light on the side will be blue)
open a CMD window in the same folder as fastboot/adb and type the commant:
fastboot flash boot NAME OF FILE.img
push enter.
Once the install is complete (a couple of second) you will have root and custom recovery.
Make sure your phone version is rootable
There are guides available in the General section, I suggest you read them if this is your first root.
Good Luck.
Thanks guys I appreciate your help.. I ll try

Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom
I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.
I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.
So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?

Hi ...
I have Xperia arc s (LT18i) I have rooted it and downloaded rom on it (Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0)

the phone got stuck on sony logo and been unable to run CMW ...

Link to all official firmwares: http://forum.android.com.pl/f308/oprogramowanie-dla-sony-ericsson-xperiaa-arc-s-147007/
By the way, you can not root .587 you have to download .562 or like mentioned before just flash 562 kernel, root and then flash back to 587 kernel. But I think easier should be to download .562 firmware and then just root.

The easiest method is with an unlocked boot loader, install 587, flash CWM'd Kernel, flash Root.zip, done.

search this. clockwork mod recovery for xperia s in xda. It will take you to cwm by doomlord. follow the steps there. Installation of cwm is different for xperia phones. There is no separate recovery partition. As of now Doomlord has compiled a nice cwm recovery for xperia s and just follow the instructions there and flash the kernel.elf file as per the instructions given there
I'm using Xperia S, bootloader unlocked and rooted using FlashTool.
I have installed RecoverX tool and it runs without problems. However, I'm not able to get into the recovery mode. Why??
Hello, firstable i would like to say that i'm new here, and that im totally neophyte in the wolrd of rooting phone etc.
I recently lurned that i could "root" my HTC Desire HD on a android 4.3 rom, but after spending one hour on the website, i have to say that im really confuse and that it dont seems as easy as i though it will be to root my phone. Some people might say that i'm a noob or whatever, and it's actually true, but i believe that everyone here was like me at the begening.
So long story short, i would like some help to root my phone on Android 4.3, or 4.0 at least cause some brand new apps or games seems to only works on Android 4.0, but i can't find any easy tutorial that i could follow step by step to do it, most of the tutorial use terms that i dont even understand !
So if someone could spend some time to explain me the basic step that i need to follow to root my phone, or lead me to a thread made for total beginers, i would really appreciate it, thanks for your time and i hope i will be able to manage the operation succefully !
Got a custom recovery?

There is a nice thread right there explaining about the whole process. You can upgrade to 4.3 using two methods:
1. Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash 4.3 rom, flash boot.img of that rom.
Or
2. Get s-off using aahk2, flash custom recovery, flash 4.3 roms.
Those steps is just main procedures but it should help you started.

Damn, i think my phone is dead now :s i wiped all the things in the bootloader to instal the roms, and now it is stuck on the white htc screen, and it can't be recognise by the computer or AAHK2

is the phone still can go into bootloader..?, n what the state of your phone bootloader now..?
did you've already installing custom recovery..like CWM, TWRP or 4EX recovery..?, n is it the recovery still worked..?
after installing the custom rom..did you sure don't forget to flashing boot.img from the rom itself through FASTBOOT mode..?

i assume that you already had SDK/ADT for execute ADB and fastboot command..if not..you can download it from here..
just extracted the rom.zip that you already installed..find "boot.img" file in there..then copied to the SDK/platform-tools folder that's the place of your ADB n fastboot.exe on your pc..
then reboot your to bootloader with pressed volume down + power..then select FASTBOOT..then connecting it your phone with pc..until indicator on your phone change to "FASTBOOT-USB"..
then open cmd and change it the source to your SDK/ADB folder..then type (w/o quote) "fastboot devices" to cek the connected first..then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
now you can try rebooting the phone with type "fastboot reboot"..done..
hope this help..sorry for my bad grammar
Awesome i think it worked, now i dont have the white htc screen anymore and i think that the phone is loading the new rom, but i had to create myself a folder "Fastboot" at C:/ and past a fastboot.exe from the easyaceroottool. Anyway, it's still loading at the moment i think it will works correctly, i will keep you in touch ! thanks !
Well, i dont know if it's normal, but it has been more than 20 minute and the phone haven't started yet, i see the new loading menu from the rom running, but the phone don't start, is it normal that i have to wait that long ? it's the first time that my phone is rooted with a new rom by the way.

No..it's not normal..booting the first time of any rom after every installing is not more than 5-6 minutes..
what the rom you installing..?, just try installing another custom rom..maybe you can try (ICS rom) SVHD v2.1.0 rom..or (JB rom) MIUI V5 v3.12.27 ported rom from MIUI site..that's what i know more stable than the other custom rom..
note: always don't forget to flashing a boot.img too extracted from the rom that you've been installed..
Ok i will try the 4.0 android one, because that's why i wanted a new rom at the begening, to have a 4.0 or + android version ^^
