[Q] Doomkernel wifi problems even with CWM installed (ARC)

Hi guys,
I have a SE ARC and installed the Doomkernel V15 with fastboot. Now when I boot I have the doomkernel logo and all, I have installed the V15 modules which came for the V15 kernel. However, I went to recovery mode by pressing the volume buttons and there, I installed the zipfile from my SDcard, and the rebooted again but yet no Wifi. It gives me an error, is there something I've missed out?
I have searched all day long since yesterday, I still haven't diagnosed where I went wrong.
All help would be appreciated
Thanks you!

Try to reflash his kernel and Wi-Fi modules.

I did flash his V15 kernel mutiple times, and reinstalled the CWM zipfile more than once.. Still no Wifi though.
Is there a wifi module apart from his V15 modules pack?

As far as I know there isn't a Wi-Fi module apart from his modules pack.
Have you followed the right steps?

[ how to install my kernel (v14 onwards) ]
download the boot.img & modules update.zip
save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
save the modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
power down device
start device in fastboot mode
use the following command to flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot phone and enter recovery
flash the wifi modules update.zip for my kernel
reboot phone and enjoy the kernel

I guess I did,
I have downloaded the
[ARC/ARC S] DooMKernel (v15) (FW: 4.0.2.A.0.42) with modCWM-v04 TouchEdition Recovery [ 2.0Ghz version ]
Which works, cause it boots with his logo.
and I have downloaded the
ARC-DooMKernel-v15-modules_CWM.zip
Which are the modules.
After that I went to recovery, from there I have installed the zipfile from my SD card, and yet no wifi.

Try to flash only the modules again.

I did that too, the modules multiple times.. I kinda need it for work and messed it up

Testing before and after installing the ROM with the CWM:
Wipe the following in CWM Recovery:
Factory Reset (Full wipe)
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache

ROM or Kernel?
I have just downloaded the Doomkernel V15 and used fastboot with cmd and flashed boot.img inside. And then put the CWM zipfile into my SD card after that installed with recovery.
I've tried but still no succes, Wiped everything and yet it gives me an error with wifi

The only thing that happens to me is start from 0, first installed stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 FW + Root and after continues.

I've installed an clean fw which worked fine but it was 3xxxxxx. I've tried to update it via wifi but sad to see, it turned off while doing it and now it's bricked. I tried reflash the fw but it ain't working. I have this green flickering led when I press the powerbutton. When I connect it via USB it will get to flash mode automaticly, battery pull nothing worked. I can't get into any other modes than the flashmode.
I HAVE SOLVED !!!!! For those who are experiencing this problem.
First, install the software support Sony, which installs the correct driver usb, then run the bootloader relock using the flashtool (ver 0.2.9.1), then run the unlocking bootoader with flashboot, after flashing with the correct firmware using flashtool, then run again with relock flashtool and turn it!!!
thanks to all

As you can see, I've found this on the net. I quite don't understand what he did as his english ain't that good. Do you guys know what he eventually means? "Relock flashtool"?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335

Haha, thanks a bunch.. Just relocking the bootloader worked fine here.
Now, I just want to update the fw with Sony's original updater inside the android and flash the doomkernel in it. For instance, when I flash the doomkernel in it with the modules, Do I have to boot my phone between flashing kernel and installing the modules?

Sorry for double post, but thanks a bunch guys!
Wifi works with V15 doomkernal now

hi all...

Use the command "fastboot erase boot" before you flash new kernel, this will format boot partition and erase old kernel.

What happens when you flash it manually using the right command? See the link in my sig and Google before asking how.
Sent from Myushi

Did you flash the kernel or did you hotboot the kernel?
Hotboot runs the kernel only once, flashing pushes the kernel into phone's memory.

Stuck at CM9.1 animation after flashing Xperia S

Hi !
I have a locked A.55 Xperia S from Dubai and were trying to install CM9.1 (stable) but now, its stuck at the Cyanogenmod animation. I waited for like 10 minutes but it just won't go from there. Re-flashing the kernal and wiping and then re-installing CM9.1 didn't work.
What I did:
1. Installed the drivers from Google dev website with fastmode driver from Sony dev site.
Selected the ADB mode driver (not the bootloader driver) for the S1boot device in Device Manager.
2. Rooted using Easy Root 1.2 (chinese version)
(success, I could see superuser process in the apps)
3. Unlocked bootloader using the fastmode as mentioned in Sony's website.
4. Downloaded the CM9.1 nozomi from CM website and Gapps from another website and copied to the root of the internal memory (Xperia doesn't have memory card ?)
5. Installed CWM recovery (6.0.3 ?) using Recover X
6. Flashed CM kernal from the CM9.1 nozomi zip (boot.img) using flashtool 0.9.11
7. Backed up the existing data using CWM.
8. Flashed CM9.1 nozomi using CWM and then Gapps. Factory reset and Cache clear.
9. Stuck at FreeXperia logo
10. Gone to CWM and restored the backup but it gave an error with "can't format with mkextf4 /dev/block/mmcblk3322 (or something like that)
11. Stuck at XPERIA logo (animation)
12. Installed the CM9.1 and Gapps and then factory reset, cache reset and Dalvik cache clear (when I press on "clear Dalvik Cache", I don't see any message in the log btw)
13. Stuck at CM9.1 Robot animation (the matrix ?)
Please help guys...its my only phone and I'm a busy guy regarding phone calls and emails
Thanks for reading

Does flashing a different kernal a good idea ?

Where did you download your cm? FXP or CM official website? You can fix it by flashing stock firmware using flashtool.

Yeah, CM official website !
So, should I just download the stock firmware.zip and flash it with recovery or I have to download the .ftf file ?
I flashed the Pure ICS kernal but its stuck at the "Pure ICS kernal" logo.
What should I do now ?
Download the stock firmware ftf and flash it ?
From where I can get the kernal for the stock firmware?
Thanks bro for the reply !

The stock ftf includes kernel so don't worry. Flash the stock ftf and report the results.

But, what to do after that ?

Flash, root, redownload the rom and stock cm kernel, and try again.

I have checked the md5 sum...which matches with that in the CM website.
Is there any other ROM with good battery backup ?

Man ! I hate this
I have installed the drivers from the driver folder in the flashtool but when I connect my mobile in flashmode (green led), the add hardware wizard pops up and within 2 seconds, the phone boots up freezing the system.
The flashtool displays an error saying "install drivers".
I have installed all drivers using flashtool's driver installer but why does it still say its not installed ?

Are you using windows 8?

You have a locked bootloader?... CM9 won't work on a locked bootloader

BTW, I tried another system with more updated Windows where I could install the driver using hardware wizard successfully but the flashtool gives an another error now and the phone boots up.
Didn't note the error down...gonna do it again to see what it says !
EDIT:
Can I use fastboot mode instead of flash mode in the flashtool ?

Now, it doesn't even recognize the phone....I mean, even if I connect it in flash mode (green led), the flashtool doesn't start the flashing
EDIT:
Is there any way I could access its memory ?
I'm thinking about downloading a stock ROM and kernal and flash it using CWM.

A miracle has happened!!
I could flash the firmware successfully., thanks JZ
Now I'm wondering whether I should go ahead and flash the cm9.1 again!!

[Q] Can't put CWM onto my Xperia Arc after using EMMA

Hi,
I have tried everything I've read so far and I still can't get the phone to boot into recovery.
I flashed the latest Stock ROM using Sony Ericsson 'Emma' flashtool.
Then I rooted using eroot and I have confirmed the root with the app Root Checker.
I installed ROM Manager but it says my device isn't recognised.
Also installed X-Parts and even though that said ClockWorkMod install was successful it still won't boot into recovery.
I have tried holding down various combination of keys whilst powering up but I don't even see a blue light appearing.
Is there any way to get CWM onto my Xperia Arc (LT15i) please?
Thanks for any advice

Flash a kernel that has CWM using fastboot.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks for replying. How would I go about finding the right kernal and how do I flash the phone if I can't get into recovery please?
I did flash my phone before with CM 9 but I've completely forgotten how to do it.

The kernel will depend on your ROM, so if you're using stock ROM you can flash a stock kernel with CWM on it. LuPuS stock kernel and Advanced stock kernel are two examples of stock kernel that have CWM.
Most custom ROM kernel should have CWM installed. Custom ROM will also come with its kernel so flash that and you should have CWM on your phone.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks very much for helping me. I was wondering if you could tell me where I'm going wrong trying to install a CM Rom please. I've tried both CM 9 and CM 10 but the former caused the boot screen to flicker and flash and when I tried to install CM 10 I just got an error in CMW saying error in sdcard/cm10.zip (status 7).
The problem stems from me experimenting and putting on the Jellybeanv4 Rom. I found that the Settings button didn't function and overal performance was slow so that is why I'm trying to flash back to a Stable CM Rom.
These are the instructions I followed using flashtool.
1. Download rom, patch and gapps from Downloads and put in SD card
2. Flash Xperia Arc S 4.1.B.1.13 Vodafone DE firmware via flashtool (For increasing system and data memory for Arc user and latest BB) Must
3. Flash included FXP kernel or any CM10 based kernel using fastboot
4. Boot into CWM
5. Wipe factory reset (Data & Cache)
6. Go mounts and storage
7. Format /system
8. Flash rom then patch and at last gapps
9. Reboot
10. After booting 1 time you can flash addons if you want
Is it a problem with a conflict with the Vodafone DE Firmware and CM Rom?
Thanks again for your help and advice

I have same problem...
Same rom and same instalation guide...
Any solution to get in CWM?
