We'll do this from beginning!
First before going to ICS let's make sure your phone does work, so flash the .283 img file you have using fastboot to get your device working in GB..

Xperia arc s won't boot
Hi,
I have similar problems and i thought that this discussion is similar..
So I have downloaded Ram Manager PRO, which by-the-way works fantastic, but I have played with VM Heap size. First of all I set 48m, and after 2 days I was experimenting and set VM Heap size to 32. Than my phone rebooted, but stuck at sony logo. PC doesn't recognize the phone, if I press and hold back button while I plug the phone, the pc sony companion recognize just SONY/SONY ERICSSON PHONE. Neither do I use flashtools. I'm stucked. Had anybody similar problem?or maybe somebody knows what's wrong?
I have rooted xperia arc s, 4.0.3, doomlord's kernel.
Thx,
^ i have the same problem but my fone works but does not get picked up flashtool seus or pc companion
may phone doesn't work, and I really don't know what's wrong. I read about too low VM Heap size won't be enough to phone boot, but in defoult is set to 32m, so...

Why don't you post in the ROM thread, Chaos is answering (in his own original way) to all points.
My guess: it depends on what you choose in Aroma.

Where I can download the stock kernel? I searched and did not find it
Do you have the stock ROM.ftf file? If so, you can just flash the kernel alone in Flashtool.
If you don't have it, just download it from the forum. There are plenty available.

I'm thinking I'm retarded .. I can not find the correct kernel. I tried 3 and always I have to flash back doomkernel.
If someone can help me... I would be forever grateful!
Just go here and download any of the .ftf. Use Flashtool and just flash the kernel alone [Exclude everything else].

I was just trying to find out if you were on a odex or deodexed rom, but I am guessing you are on stock. If so go with the ODEX (STOCK) ROMS zip.

Because you're using GB and not ICS, which most mods are based on these days, so update to ICS and try again.

doom kernel v21 is for GB rom.
u cant use it on ICS rom,such as Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0 rom.

wow this is very enlighting, so it means that i may not use Xperia Ultimate HD on doomkernel21 right? i tried DK22 but it doesnt work also so that means i have to update on ICS to use other ICS based kernel? how do i update my arc to ICS? coz as i remember i cant update over the air with an ulocked bootloader right? so how do i update to ICS? and where do i download those update files? please point me to the right thread. when i tried pc companion it says my device is updated.:fingers-crossed:

You only need to unlock your boot loader the once, you will need to root again though.

i have seen videos on how to update via flash tool but its kinda complicated and still have to flash kernels, is there any other way or an easy way to update my arc? sorry bro for i have so many questions and still i have more.
what rom for GB do u suggest i use for my arc?
Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

can i use Arconium 8.2 on GB2.3.4?
yeah youre kinda new.....
You cant use ICS mods with a GB kernel.
Have you unlocked your bootloader already?
Sent from my Xperia arc S using xda premium
at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.
BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

Same answer as above, Visit this thread to flash any of the Firmware you want http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0
Or since you have a locked bootloader, you can use SUS or PCC to repair your phone
