Hello XDA Community,
im stuck with my Problem so far and after reading trough several Threads and excesiv use of google I decidet to make a new Thread. I flashed the Xperia Ultimate HD ROM on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and forgot to wipe the Dalvik Cache before as well I did not uncheck the mark at "Reboot your Mobile" in the Aroma Installer.
Now I got a Bootloop, and cannot access CWM and I tried 3 times to flash over Flashtool and it didn't help at all.
This is behind my understanding of the material, so I would be really happy if someone could help me.
Ps. I also have no Unlocked Bootloader

You mean before the Bootloop or after? Before is used stock ics with root. After Bootloop i tried to flash stock GB and stock Ics with flashtool and Sony Update Center.

Hi
After attempting to install Xperia Ice Bean on my Xperia LT15i awhile ago then reboot the phone, I am now astuck on SONY Logo. Itried giving n 10 minutes to wait for the tools to be installed however, I still got this SONY logo. I performed full reboot by removing the battery and still getting the same.
Now, I'm trying to revive my phone by installing the stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4.
Can somebody help me on this. I'm so nervous already that I might not be able to revive my phone.
Please I need your help guys ASAP.
BTW I'm using LT15i running on Rooted ICS 4.0.4 with the updated Busybox installed.
Managed to install CWM.
Here's what happened.
I have to tell it honestly. I didn't follow the instructions on how to correctly install the ROM. I just mount the sdcard and install the zip without even wiping the data and doing factory reset. I know its wrong but I still did it.
Can somebody assist me on this.
Thanks, I can donate some of my cash to your build if I revive my phone back.
Assuming you can get into flash mode, just reflash stock Rom available in the general arc section, use flashtools for this.
After you get stock back you are at the point of decision, do you stick with current set up or try custom roms, remember custom roms sometimes need custom kernels as well so you will need unlocked bootloader to send them via fastboot.
I have found some custom roms don't work I too get blank screens etc, but have installed the pureness build and it runs well

I have recently bought an Xperia Arc S with SI number 1254-1957 and I want to move to another rom.(Ultimate HD 2.0) I am currently using with 4.0.2.A.0.62. If there is any thing you should know to help me feel free to ask.
I am an engineer and very familiar to computer hardware and software but I am currently noob for Android mobile phones etc...
So please advice me how to flash, at least give me some links to read for how can I manage to.

Thank you, I started reading but I have some questions. In the page for ultimate HD 2.0 there is a very short install instructions.
Flash LT18i. 587 (for LT15i Only Requiered)
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one.
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Choose zip from SD card > Choose your ROM of choice.
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation Press "Done" and Reboot.
The first launch is slow so wait.
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!
Firstly what is Flash LT18i . 587? Should I flash to 4.1.B.0.587 firstly? But I can only flash using SEUS or PC Companion to 4.1.A.0.562. How should I do it?
Thanks.
Flashing 587 is basically reformatting your pc. You need to use a program called flashtool and need to flash roms like the ones you mentioned. Also, Xperia arc doesn't have 4.1

Hmmm the rom number is APP-SW Version written in talk sonymobile com/thread/38388 page(sorry cant give link please google). If I remember correctly, .587 is 4.0.4 and .562 is 4.0.3
I also read that none of 2011 xperias get 4.1 or 4.2. :crying:
So first I need to flashtool to flash my rom and install 4.1.B.0.587
Then I need to install CWM and then follow the instructions, right?
Thank you.

Hey guys!
I just installed new ROM to my Xperia Arc. I installed Xperia Ice Pureness from that site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788701
When I reboot my device it stuck just on SONY logo. If I try to connect my phone to the computer, it doesn't recognize my phone .I can't get to the ClockWork mode and nothing at all. I really need help because I use my phone for working and develpoing but now is bricked .
I know there are many discussions about that on forum but I didn't find anything useful here because my computer doesn't recognize my phone like in other cases.

Reflash a stock ics Rom and try again remember to wipe data, system and cache and dalvik cache before you flash custom Rom

Flash a stock .ftf in flashtool. Re-root and refresh rom
Sent from my lt18 using xda premium
Have you tried installing a custom kernel? You should try ArcKnight kernel. It works good with stock based roms.
Just reflash ftf via flashtool and the soft brick will be gone.

So i have searched for simmilar threads but i didn't find what i was looking for.
I have xperia arc s 4.0.4. B.O. 587 and i rooted it. I also wanted to install ultimate hd mod and followed instructions. I placed custom rom files in sd card. Then installed x-parts CWM. Chose to reboot to CWM recovery. Did all the things jadar12354 wrote (reset to factory settings, wipe system folder, wipe batery data.) and i wanted to install ultimate hd, but it just wasn't there. i chose just to reboot. And gues what :crying: MY phone f*****g froze on sony screen.
I don't know if i have a unlocked bootloader all i know is i did this root thing
Seriously, i'm kind of a noob at this, i've been reading everything over 10 times to understand. Took me 4 hours just to root the damn phone.
What i tried is connecting arc s to pc via back button and go to flashtool and flashing the kernel or something. I've found guys who said to renew the rom but i don't know how to do this.
Please help i'm anxious that the phone is done for, can you please tell me how screwed am i?

Go to the sony web page and download Sony-update app. Than run app and choose your mobile model and reinstall stock Rom. That's the easiest way to back to original rom

Not if he want's to risk bricking is phone!! He said he is not sure if his bootloader is unlocked or not.If unlocked he needs to flash a stock fft in flashtool he needs to find out if it is unlocked.
Odp: [Q] Stuck on sony screen after x-parts CWM, while installing ultimate HD
Of course he can use flashtool. He must find stock Rom download and flash. But anyway he should install Sony update which is installing all necessary drivers. For installing CWM use this https://www.box.com/s/ydn80deft19ph4c1y8yg

if he doesn't know if his boot loader is unlocked then its locked, unless he picked it up second hand.

I managed to fix it with sony pc companion repair. Now i rooted my phone again. But i want to ask one more question:
How can i install custom rom? Should i install kernel first? And how to tell if my bootloader is unlocked because i checked and i saw that my provider allows it.
BTW isn't it called "bricked" when you're stuck on sony logo?

It's locked you woud not have been able to repair it with Sony if it was unlocked! You can't flash a kernal if bootloader locked you need to unlock it.
Odp: [Q] Stuck on sony screen after x-parts CWM, while installing ultimate HD
I have locked bootloader an I'm using Xperia ultimateHD 2.0.3 . After rooting you should install CWM from my link above and copy ultimateHD to your sd card and flash it. Check how on ultimateHD thread. After that probably you need flash stock Wi-Fi modules.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Don't touch /system. Don't wipe it, don't delete it, just DO NOT TOUCH IT.
And you will be fine

Your bootloader is locked by default, you have to unlock your bootloader.
Stock ROMs generally can be used with stock kernel but with non stock-based ROMs installing a custom kernel (that requires an unlocked bootloader) is a must.
Odp: [Q] Stuck on sony screen after x-parts CWM, while installing ultimate HD
You can install Xperia ultimateHD on locked bootloader, and you don't need to flash any kernels. Just tick "locked bootloader" in aroma and done. Everything work perfectly.

Aroma its a graphic rom installer, like windows or linux installer. If you have rooted phone use CWM installer from here :https://www.box.com/s/ydn80deft19ph4c1y8yg . Copy rom to your sd card .Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
And that's it :highfive:
Xperia arc s: rooted and unlocked
Symptoms are as follows:
Attempted to install Cyanogen mod through using X-parts, however on initial reboot it simply got stuck at the Sony screen.
Cant get it to respond to any buttons or combinations there of and the PC wont detect it either. So its just sitting steady at Sony.
Are there any options or is this the end of the line?
Thanks,:crying:
Download Fusion kernel and flash with fastboot (google how to install custom kernels on arc s) then boot to CWM wipe all and install CM10 again. For CM9 download Lupus ICS CM9 based kernel and do the same.
Unhappy [Q] Bricked and not responding to Reboot Request
I agree with pypcier But on your post you say rooted & Unlocked when you say unlocked do you mean your bootloader is unlocked or your sim is unlocked?Also X-parts is really for locked bootloaders because it is installed to your system (where your rom is) when you install other firmware and format/wipe system you erase X-Parts so have to install again.That's why you are better of with a custom kernel with cwm built in :good: obviously you need unlocked bootloader for this
You say your phone is stuck at Sony logo so you forgot to flash the kernel. Just flash it through flashtool or fastboot
