you have to flash the only compatible kernel for this rom, fusion 4.0
search for it, you won't get any problem flashing racing bean

[Q] bootloop major problem

hello there
i have changed my rom and now i want to go back to my stock. i tried to use pc companion to restore the phone but when i did i got a message saying that i don't have the official rom (or something like that) and that i can not restore my phone to original. so i tryed to change my rom to the stock manually. but i dont know what .ftf file should i use. i made a try with one and now the phone bootloops and i can not even go to cwm to restore it from there.
please please please help me i am so lost.
You have to use flashtool to flash a stock ftf to your phone. There are some here Any one of them would do.
The one i use is here
the thing is that i have arc s and i am in greece. i guess i just need the official ftf file to flash throu flashtool but i just cant find it anywhere. if anyone knows please share a link.
greek official ics ftf is here

+ am i ever gonna be able to use pc companion again anyway? i mean to update my os
i think the problem is you are flashing a kernal instead of a full rom.
also you'll be able to use PC companion and all it's functions when you have a stock rom

Is your device Xperia Z??? No right.. U can't install that ROM in SXS.. But there is an eXistenZ Ultra ROM in our Dev section.. Download it.. Follow instructions provided in OP.. Read FAQ.. Do read everything in 1st page and then go ahead with installation..

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??

Maybe you should flash some other recovery. I recommend taking the boot.img from the zip of the latest CyanogenMod nightly for ZL. After that you can flash the rom of your choice.

Okay, I think now I may have accidentally hardbricked my phone. I tried relocking and re-unlocking my bootloader. Everything went ok but now I cant start the phone. When I press the power button it only vibrates once and then thats it. Flashtool detects it in both flashmode and fast boot but I cant flash any recovery. Please don't tell me its the end for my phone.
psycho-punk said:
If you can get your phone in fastboot or flashmode, your phone is not hard bricked. There is still hope.
What do you mean you can't flash recovery?

Something weird happened.I clicked on the BLU button on flashtool and it says my device is still unlocked. After unlocking using flash tool I am now able to flash CWM and TWRP. But both recoveries still would not let me install the roms I mentioned earlier. It still thinks that I'm on another device. Currently downloading CM11 from the CM website. Waiting for my download to finish. But I have a feeling it still wouldn't work. btw, thanks for going through step by step with me. I'm still new to xperia devices. Owned an s plus last time and the whole rom flashing process wasn't really hard like this one.lol
EDIT: UPDATE!!! I have finally found the reason for my problem. I flashed an incorrect version of the boot.img.Because I dump all the stuff related to flashing rom and I dont really remember the location in which I downloaded the boot.img. So what I did was I extracted the whole content of the rom that I downloaded proceed to flash the boot.img using flashtool. from there on, everything works perfectly! thanks for your help. Without ur suggestion, I wouldn't have tought of manually getting the boot.img!
