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.. !

2. If u havent flashed any custom rom untill yet..n still on north america firmware.. then try to re-root it ...and then install CMW via this link..!!
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ohrj5dosijil1od/t_3-MoTVc6
read the recovery.txt file...it shows how to install the cmw...!! n then try to flash a custom rom via CWM ...n lemme know..!!!
cheers..!!
did u hit the thanks button yet.?? :laugh::good:

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 ?
Am I right ?

[Q] i can't flash doomkernel .

i try to flash it with Fastboot Flasher-V3.2 and it says my arc s is not rooted and it is already rooted and super user appeared ... also this message appears when i try to install any rom boot.img by fastboot mode in flash tool .
plz help .. thx for every thing .

u must unlock your boot loader from Sony ,Google it before asking !
Regards

And if you have unlocked it and still getting the message then it's not rooted properly. Also provide more details when posting such as what firmware you're using. The one thing you wont find on XDA is mind reading.

As you're new, give my GUIDE a quick read, it covers pretty much everything. If your BL is already unlocked, then reflash the stock ROM, then boot in to recovery using your computer, see HERE and flash the attachment which will root your Phone. If you still get the error message then you might not have unlocked your BL properly either.

Flash this with fashtool or fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393
enter recovery and install enter http://d-h.st/M10
original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393

First unlock the bootloader and flash the doomkernel(recommended) via flashtool. Doomkernel comes with CWM and TWRP pre-installed. After rebooting when you see doom logo, pressing at volume up goes to CWM & pressing at camera button goes toTWRP. Now flash the su package (.zip) via any recovery tool.
Then enjoy at rooted JB.
All the best.

Fastboot is for flashing kernel. You need unlocked bootloader for this process.
Flashmode is for flashing the stock rom.
If you had bootloop just flashing the stock rom again.

but after restarting the device after the flash, it vibrates once and then does nothing. I don't even see the SONY logo. The screen doesn't light up at all.
I was able to fix this by flashing the stock ROM from flashtool.
But did I do something wrong? Is there anyway which I can get the ROM working?

did it say flash successful?

Have you unlocked your bootloader first? If you have then try flashing the kernel from the rom seperately using fastboot. By the way are any other roms with custom kernels working or are they all giving same errors? By the way did you face any error while flashing?

What do you mean the phone came with unlocked bootloader. Are you sure you bought a new phone? Tell me whats your Bootloader Unlocked Status.

Can you describe how exactly is it "Dead'? Is it not booting or even responding to hard reset (Pressing Vol Up + Power Buttons for 10-15 secs)? Are you able to get fastboot or adb access to your phone?

Hi, I am New to Xda.
Hi,
I am not a dev. But Love towards my Xperia SL made me a mini-dev LOL. I have succesfully fixed a developing ROM from Carbon(kitkat 4.4.4) . I would like to upload it to Xda and help poor teens like me (I am just 15) still stuck with SL. I renamed my ROM as ASTERISK. Can someone tell me how to upload a new rom to Xda.
Thanks in advance,

Xperia S and SL are same hardware, so what ever works on Xperia S works on Xperia SL, and given that there is Nougat ROM available, I wouldn't say that it is stuck. You should ask the developer of the Carbon ROM if You can upload a modified one.
