I'm Using XPERIA S and installed AC!D soundmod(im using 4.1.2 hei1125 rom) and my phone doesn't boot up, is there anyway to go into recovery? it only shows jelly bean logo and then freezes. I'm really desperate, please help
I assumed you have CWM baked in your phone....Restart your phone, after the Sony logo cam out, tap on it many times until booted into CWM recovery
But there is no sony logo. Im using custom rom as i mentioned before. The only logo i see is that Jelly bean "bean"
Tapping on that doesn't do anything. i tried to boot into recovery in ADB also. cmd says device not found unfortunately :S
Re-locked bootloader and flashed on OFW. This story found happy ending. Thanks to y'all! Raunts

So, I could finally install Jelly Sandwich, and went past the SONY logo freeze, then bumped into a boot loop.
All the phone does now, is boot, shows lock screen, notification of "Preparing SD card" shows, then suddenly screen fades, and SONY logo....etc.
Anyway, here's the info I have.
Xperia arc
Rooted with OneClick exploit
Bootloader "locked"
cwm from x-parts didn't work, so copied recovery.tar into /system as described in one of the forums.
Before install I format /system
I clear dalvic cache, clear system/factory reset again...
Then I install!
It says all successful, but goes into boot loop!
Any suggestions?
What FW are you using?

.431??? I had original .587 from PC Companion, then reading the forums, to root I had to flash .431, then flash back the .587 kernel which never showed later that I have .587
CONdemmedNORmal said:
Use flashtool to flash official Sony. 587 then use fastboot to flash your kernel again I'm using xarc 2.0 its seems quite good so far then you can flash jellysandwich again
Your bootloop should now be eliminated

hmmmmmmmmmm!
I'll give it a try...but will keep it with stock kernel, don't want to unlock BL.
Thanks
aghhhhhh!!
Same thing!
Don't bother....giving up on custom roms...I was only trying with the arc...I gave it up already, using my sgs3
Thanks anyway
Too bad.
At the time you start installing new kernel and rom, you became kind of addicted.
Same LT18i unlock bl stock ics kernel but struck at sony screen, did factory reset/clear cache/dalvik after install, had to remove battery.
In the end had to reflash stock rom & start all over.
Hi have the same problem but i have Xperia NEO

I had rooted and loaded CM9 on my Xperia Arc 2 months before.
Today I tried to install one of the unofficial CM10 available in the community.
But it didn't work( stuck at the loading/splash screen).
Then I tried to re-install the CM9 but failed.
Then I flashed with LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel.ftf rolleyes:)
After that it is stuck at loading with SONY logo.
Previously it was "FreeXperia" logo and I was able to boot to CWM screen. But Now I am not able to do that either.
Please guide me through on what to do now. I just want to get any ROM installed and the phone running.
If you can't get it to work (stuck on Sony logo), then flash this in flash tool.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I'll try this one..
Currently I am trying to restore with Sony Update Sftware
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Btw.. a tip for later

You tried to install back just the kernel, not the whole ROM. That caused the problem, certain ROMs and kernels do not work together.
You need to install full ROM, so either with a .ftf file or Sony Update Service.
I was running Gin2JellyBean 2.3 or so and was trying to switch ROM to any JellyBean ROM so I tried Jelly Z. Upon flashing Lupus for JB v8, the only time the kernel logo appears is right after fastbooting it. Every time after that, it never appears again, never giving me a chance to press the VOL DOWN and enter CWM or TWRP. It goes straight to the stock Sony Ericsson logo. Any ideas?

Did you flash cm10 kernel before installing jelly z? If you didnt do it you have what they call now bootloop. Your going have to start fresh again by flashing stock firmware via flashtool.
Hi All,
Sorry for the noob post, first time 'modding' my Acro S, but I have flashed lots of rom's on my old Xperia X10.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery today, and since doing that I have not been able to boot my phone past the Sony logo, it just reboots. I have tried to install a couple of ROM's but neither boot (Existenz Ultra & Emerald Smooth. Emerald Smooth fails with status 7 error, Existenz Ultra says it installs but still no boot. Also tried Honami rom but download always fails between 89% and 92%, tried 3 times). i also can't power off the phone, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried to repair my phone with PC Companion but it won't work due to the unlocked bootloader.
I would really like to install a stable custom rom as I found the stock rom had alot of lag, but at this stage I just want to get the phone working again! Can anyone guide me to which kernel files to install which include the latest cwm, how to install them and suggestions of which rom to use?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
To turn off your device, press and hold the volume up+power button combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be powered off. You can now connect it to your pc in flash mode. Please use Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the stock rom as your bootloader is unlocked. Once the flash procedure is complete, normally turn on your device and it should boot up properly. After that, you will have to flash a custom kernel like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309117
Then you can flash any custom rom in cwm.

Thankyou!! Do you happen to have a link to the stock JB rom for 6.2.B.1.96? I could only find ICS or earlier builds of JB....
