You must likely just need to flash the modules, no worry, its easy to do... here is a link to download the modules.....
Wifi Modules
Just move the .zip to your sdcard, then go into CWM and install from sd card. enjoy.

Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't work.
I haven't installed the CWM, i have an other Recovery mod, is this a problem?

Not sure if it makes a difference but trying using the CWM Recovery, that what i use. Im also using the GBTweaked ROM. Maybe the wifi modules i linked arent compatible with your ROM. Are you on R800X, R800i, R800a, or R800at? I think the modules i linked are only for R800X, so you would probably have to find someone with the same version as you and have them back up their wifi modules and send them to you.

Ain't sure if I understanded you right but if you flashed another Doomlord Kernel they probably have the same splashscreen.

Sorry i have some problems with writing on the phone Keyboard
When i look in settings>phone Informations, it shows that the kernel isn't changed... when i flash, there arent any problems, but it didn't work ...

Here is the thread about basebands:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20113685
Just download the ftf file of the baseband you want ( i prefer 36 baseband because of the good battery life) and flash it with flashtool. then you have to flash the equal baseband lib via cwm.
You don't need to flash wifi modules if you are on doomkernel because it's already integrated

Awsome so even Doom kernel V18 has the Wifi intergrated?

nope
download and put in on you're sd cart,then flash in cwm the zip.

Of course! Since v16 it is integrated. Your link is for the modules of v15.
You just need to flash doomkernel v18

No way;
since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...
if u try to enable them on new kernel (v14 onwards) u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI...
i will be providing modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt (and other things) to work correctly
stock modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel OR if u revert to older v13 or lower kernels
remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....

Thanks so much guys,the linked worked and my wifi worked 100% now after using cwn to install it=)
One last question , i have teh kernel, i have the module and basband files but how do i install LT15_LT18_36_Baseband.ftf via flash tool? i have the ftf and lib files but when i try to flash the ftf file with flash tool it says i must conect in flash mode and when i try that whiel following the instructions it just either boots to safe mode or cwm mode.
What am i doing wrong guys?

Make sure you're device is in flashmode.
Power off ,hold on backbutton and plugin you're device,check if the led is green.
Flash the ftf.
If you see any error on the screen ,read it and check it on you,re device ...usb/unknownsources etc enable

I tried the menu button and the back button, it just goes into CWM screen, with blue led. Cant seen to get green led to show. i have .42 build.

You can't see anything ,because you're device is turned off,only thing you can see is flashtools window.
Ok:
1 put the ftf file in the firmware folder in flashtools.
2 power off you''re device..hold on backbutton and plugin.
3 return to flashtools and hit the flashbutton/select flashmode.
4 Now you see the ftf and flash it.

O Snap, iv been turning the phone back on all the time thats why!
Thanks alot man, got it finaly.
Thanks guys for answering all my silly questions.My Arc and I are happy now

Ok ..I'm happy to read it's working now.
Happy flashing :-]

Howzit guys, another quick question with regards to Kernel and the full touch recovery.I flashed the V19 Doom kernel on my phone abut cant seen to figure out how to acces the full touch recovery thou?
I tried using the back button, the menu buttom and even volup and down button but keep getting to the CWM-Based recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa-r2, funny thing is that yesterday i got to the full touch revoery menu but today im getting to this menu even if i keep tapping the button after i try tapping the button after i see the blue light.
Any idea? what am i doing wrong now again

[Help][UPDATE2]CWM and returning to stock

Hello everyone at XDA.
I currently have Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my Xperia Play. I used CWM to install Cyanogenmod. I installed CWM using the apk here. My Xperia Play is an r800a with unlocked bootloader.
I have 3 questions left to answer.
1.If I want to return to factory condition do I just flash the original .ftf file? Will this cause any problems to CWM? Will having CM7 then flashing a stock .ftf possibly cause any problems?
2.The thread that shows how to install CWM has a warning that says
Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.3 firmware.
Well right now I am on CM7.2 can I still use this recovery if I want to flash other roms like miui? What does this warning mean?
Here is the thread
3. Also if I need to is there anyway to remove CWM?
Thanks so much for any help.

I know bumping is wrong but I made this into a new question and rather than posting a new message I edited it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

when u flash stock rom it should wipe everything - even recovery (im not sure). Flashing ftf file should give u phone like u had when u got it (but with unlocked bootloader if u did it)

But won't already having CM7.2 cause any problems? Also won't have a custom kernel cause any problems?

when u flash stock rom ftf it overwrite kernel using stock contained in ftf file (kernel.sin)

No. Flashing the ftf will wipe all traces of the custom kernel and any custom rom. It's like doing a factory refresh.

Custom roms with locked bootloaders

Hello everyone last week i got pissed at my arc s because of its stockness.Stock,kernel,rom,widges,slow ui,locked bootloader,not rooted etc etc etc.The i decied to unlock my bootloader,after few hours of research i found out that the only way to unlock it is the paid method i got pissed.Then i decied to install a custom rom and heres what i did"
Since i coudnt instal nor get into cwm i found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ..
i installed the program,rooted my phone with DoomLoards method(the one for ICS phones) and then downloaded to rom
What i did next is to download few rom and tested and here are the roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 , I did all of the steps with wiping data/cache atc when i installed all the roms,but just choosed the other archive file for the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475 < which im using now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515148
Remmember that i cant get into cwm if i turn of the phone for some reason,so i run the xperia cwm program and got into it.After that just follow the steps given in the rom's topic "How to install" and thats it.
After 2 reboots my phone was running all of the listed rom which needed unlocked bootloader in order to be installed

I would love some1 else to test my method

To flash new kernal u need bootloder unlock so u cant change kernal in locked bootloader
Roms like
Cm7&9
N miui wont work
Ics base Rom may work

Well yes
im running them with stock kernel.Right now im using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475 MuIU and it runs perfectly much better then the stock ICS i had before every with 80 100 free ram

Hi I would like to try what you have mentioned. However, I am currently still on the GB ROM. I have rooted my phone. I presume I need to flash to ICS first before trying your method.
Is there anyway I can flash a stock ICS ROM with a locked bootloader using flashtools? Stock ICS is not released for my region yet so I can't do it by the usual PC Companion way I think.

I dont think that u need to install stock ICS before using this "method".Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ and then do the steps said in the rom u want to install.I would suggest u to read very carefuly the tutorial provided by the rom's developer so u wont srew your phone like i did the 1st time aka dele cavik cache/farcroty reset etc etc.U can use the instructions from this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 .U can put any rom u want on the sd card but the steps before that got to be the same

So basically what you did was install a Stock Based ROM without install the kernel that ROM need right? And is working?
I have ROOT and ICS Stock, i already search and i was thinking to install a Stock Based ROM without ROM custom kernel but i was afraid
So seams you try it and work right?

Yes ive tried those 3 roms and they work with the stock kernel that my arc s comes with,they detect the phone as lt18i etc etc.Mind that if your bootloader is locked you probably wont be able to get into recovery vie the normal way aka press to volume keys up and down,thats why u need to install the xperia cwm program and reboot into recovery with it.If you do something wrong and your phone freezes at the xperia logo we can fix that(flashing the stick ICS with flashtool using flashmode (holding the back key)

I think you should install ICS first because those roms require baseband 70, that comes with ICS.

I cant confirm that my methot will work with GB since i did not try it

I already have ICS 4.0.3, Baseband 70 and Root so i only need to pick a custom stock based ROM

ME too have the same question
@gogobaba can you please try your method with JJ Hybrid ROM

2) KERNELS
a) Sirkay's ICS Kernel HERE (For Overclocking )
b) Arc Knight Kernel by jimbo77 HERE (for Overclocking)
OR
b) Stock ICS Beta Kernel with CWM HERE (thanks cobrato)
OR
c) DoomLord ICS kernel with Wifi Modules .
Sorry guys but i cant try it i dont have the time to reinstall my phone again and i dont have wifi or mobile internet for my programs to be downloaded again.
I have my doubts that this rom will work because of the kernels.Check b) its says stock ICS beta kernel i dont know if this is the stock kernel of the arc or its some other kernel.Ask in the rom's topic if u can install this rom with the stock kernel.If u can they you should be albe to install it.
Mind that i cant be held responsive if something goes wrong with your phone.I can verefy only the roms from the 1st post

Rooting Xperia S in 2.3.7 with 6.0.A.3.62

Hi guys..
Am in need of a little help here. I need to root a Xperia S running 2.3.7 (Yes, oldie) with firmware version 6.0.A.3.62. This is kind of an official purpose, so i have to be in 2.3.7. Aslo updating the firmware version is my last choice. When i searched, i couldnt find any pre rooted images for 6.0.A.3.62 firmware. Can somebody help me with a pre rooted image or any other method? I want it to be in the generic customization..
If in casei want to flash a pre rooted image of a newer firmware version like 6.0.A.3.73, can i directly flash the image via fastboot? or should i take some precaution since am upgrading from .62??
Your help is much appreciated..

You won't get much answer here as you have posted in the wrong section. Post this in Q,A

have you tried bin4ry method?

if you wanted to flash pre rooted firmware I take it your bootloader is unlocked? If so its very easy to root any room through cwm.

Thank you all for the response.. I have a small query... the doom kernel has any difference (apart from root and recovery) compared to the stock kernel?? like any tweaks or something??? because i want the phone to be exactly in a factory condition.. Please don't think that i have too many demands... .. the device is used for a testing purpose.. that's y all these mandates...
I am ready to unlock the bootloader.. so in that case... like solders33 said above.. can i just flash CWM recovery via fastboot and then istall the super user .zip via CWM?? will it work in .62??

Like what DooMLoRD has mentioned in his kernel thread, his kernel is just the stock kernel that has some ramdisk changes and support for init.d and userinit scripts (besides root and CWM).

Thanks for the reply.. One more quick question... If i want to flash a pre rooted image of any newer firmwares.. say .67 or .73 .. can i just do that with fastboot flashing?? any problems in updating like that???

You should flash the pre-rooted image of your present .62 firmware, not newer ones.
