I'm using a Xperia Arc
Android 2.3.4
Build-nummer 4.0.1.A.0.283
I've unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the device.
Now i want to use ROM manager, but nothing seams to work,
Any one some idea on how to continue ???
I would like to be able to load custom roms
Why do u want to use ROM Manager? To take backup of ur current ROM? Rom Manager doesnt have support for SE devices yet.. So to take backup of ur current rom as well as to flash a new rom to ur device u need to do it through CWM i.e. clockworkmod... Do following steps to have CWM installed....
Note : I cant be held responsible if u brick ur phone or ur warranty gets void
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741&page=3
Or Use the DooMKernel (The best! )
1)Copy the custom rom zip file to ur sdcard
2)Flash DooMKernel on ur phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172885
3) Reboot phone and go to CWM.. there u'll find the option to backup ur current rom and install new one with the help of saved rom zip file.
4)Wipe factory settings, Cache,Dalvik Cache
5) Reboot..
Enjoy..
Can you tell me where i can find instructions to do point 2) in your reply?

I have already mentioned the link.. Please check above.. Download the .img file from the link given under downloads.. I doubt if the particular kernel works for ur build but it certainly works for 0.42/.58/.62. So if u want, u can use flashtool and flashtool file to flash with particular firmware.
Once u have the .img for DooMKernel downloaded.. ->start the phone in fastboot mode, just the way u must have done while unlocking the bootloader. once u r on the fastboot mode.. type following command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img (here boot.img is the kernel filename) once it is completed, u have the DooMKernel installed. reboot the phone and open the CWM by pressing the volume button just after u see the DoomKernel image...
Press thanks if it helps u..
Is it normal that i cannot reboot and open te CWM ? it keeps rebooting to normal ...

I very recently asked for help installing CM7 onto my phone. While following a fairly simple tutorial linked to me by the author something hasn't worked and I've been left with a brick. I managed to fastboot the boot.img then when rebooting I was asked to "spam" the volume button repeatedly until it entered another mode. It did not do this. Instead it simply left me with a blank screen. No Sony Ericsson logo and no booting into another mode as the tutorial described. Someone in the thread had the same issue and basically the author just washed his hands of it and asked that guy to make a thread. I did look at the troubled users profile for said thread but for some reason this forum is saying the search is down, so hopefully someone can help me at least get my phone working. I'm done with the rooting/romming shenanigans. If there is a way to just get my phone up and running then hopefully someone can tell me. Until then it's just a brick.
Edit - Tried updating via SEUS but it says the phone has modified software and cant be updated. :-(
Would flashtool work?? I have no idea how to use it tho but am downloading it. Looking for things on here is hard work. lol.
Is your boot loader unlocked? You didn't mention if it was or not. If its not then that's why your bricked.

Its unlocked. The tutorial before the one I mentioned above was about finding out if it was or not and it had a YES next to it in the menu. Along with my IMEI number etc, so I was told I was OK to go ahead with the other tutorial.
Flashtool Guide
Oh rght this should help you, okay. The answer to your question is yes flashtool should work, it sounds like you've got a botched install that's all if you doo this you should be fine
THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE BUT NOT YOUR SD CARD
Here's a quick rundown of what you need to do, Download flashtool, download an ftf file, flash the ftf file to your phone through flashtool and then as if by magic your phone should work. So let's begin
Step 1) Turn your phone off - Then leave it to the side.
Step 2) Download and install Flashtool Get flashtool from here
After it has downloaded install it but make sure you have remembered the directory where you've installed it.
Step 3) Download an ftf file. This is a package that contains the stock software that came with your phone and flashing this will therefore return your phone to factory settings or stock.
Here is a thread with a list of ftf files, download the one that corresponds with your phone.
After you've downloaded it move it the folder named firmwares in your flashtool directory. For example mine is C:\Flashtool\firmwares
Step 4) Install the drivers. Navigate to the drivers folder in your flashtool directory, for example mine is C:\Flashtool\drivers From there open the file named Flashtool-drivers.exe and install ALL of the drivers.
Step 5) Flashing the FTF. Once you have installed all of the drivers open flashtool. From there click on the flash icon in the top left corner of the screen. Select Flashmode then click OK.
Select the FTF file you downloaded and moved to the firmwares folder and then click OK.
You will then see flashtool say it is preparing files for flashing follwed by a popup. The popup will promt you to power off your phone, hold the back button, then plug the USB into your Computer.
After you have done this flashtool will begin flashing your phone. Do not remove the USB until it is finished.
Once it has finished (The log will tell you when it has) remove the USB and power on your phone.
The initial boot may take some time as needs to rebuild it's cache. Don't panic this is normal. After it has your phone shoudl now have booted and be on the stock software that came with it
Hope I helped, if you need anymore help PM me
Thanks for the help but I was just too over that phone so I sent it away for cash (even fuc*ed it was worth £32) and I've got a brand new Xperia Arc S. Thanks.
This question will be posted a dozen times across several threads, thus, I decided to write a step-by-step, fool proof, noob-oriented simple guide; if somebody asks "how to", please feel free to point him/her to this thread to avoid spamming the main discussion / development threads
If you have some experience and this is not your first time flashing go to POST 2 for a quick guide and some tips, without explanations and notes
STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
How to update the Sony Xperia S
to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
NOTICE 1: This guide will update your Xperia S from ANY previous version to OFFICIAL SONY JELLY BEAN ANDROID 4.1.2 (version 6.2.B.0.200, released May 30th 2013)
NOTICE 2: This guide is for WINDOWS PC USERS, if you have a Mac I can't help you, but the process is very similar
NOTICE 3: This update has nothing to do with SIM unlock, bootloader lock/unlock, root, etc. It doesn't matter if your phone is rooted or not, bootloader unlocked or not because it's the official firmware update
NOTICE 4: The internal SD card contents will NOT be deleted but everything else inside your phone will be reseted to factory defaults because this is a major update, so do a backup if you want to keep call logs, SMS etc. I only backup my SMS and Whatsapp messages, google backs up everything else because I have the backup option activated in settings
NOTICE 5: Your phone needs to be at least at 50% BATTERY CHARGE before updating ("flashing") the firmware. I recommend a full charge, just in case something happens and you need to do it again
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 1:
Download the Flashtool
You will find the installers here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Go to the "installation" tab, download Flashtool installer v0.9.11.0 and run it
You will have a new folder on your PC: c:\Flashtool
STEP 2:
Download the Jelly Bean firmware update
You will find a link to download the official firmware update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302419, download it, say "thanks" to Yakandu, and come back here
SOME NOTICES (I know you are gonna ask):
- That firmware is the plain Sony Generic firmware and works fine for ANY region and has ALL the languages and keyboards included
- The linked firmware is already prepared to be flashed via Flashtool in .FTF format. If you download the firmware from another source it may be compressed with RAR or ZIP ("zipped") and you may need to EXTRACT the .FTF file with WinRAR or ZIP or 7ZIP. if you don't have WinRAR download it from here: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
STEP 3:
Let's update the phone!
- Copy the firmware FTF file to c:\Flashtool\Firmwares
- Go to c:\Flashtool\Drivers and run "Flashtool-drivers.exe" to install the proper drivers for Xperia S
- After installing the USB drivers reboot your PC
- Go to c:\Flashtool and run "FlashTool" (run "FlashTool64" if you have Windows 64 bits)
- Click the flash button (yes: the thunder icon up left)
- Select "Flahsmode" and click "OK"
- Select the "LT26 6.2.B.0.200" FTF firmware and click "OK", DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE
(TIP: If your Flashtool version doesn't have the "OK" button then just double-click the FTF)
- Flashtool will prepare the files for flashing, just be patient
- A Window will pop up asking you to connect the phone in "Flashmode" showing instructions for an old Xperia phone: ignore it, here is how the Xperia S enters "Flashmode":
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN key
- Keep it pressed, connect the USB cable to your PC
- Release the Volume Down key when phone's GREEN LED lights up
- Flashtool will start flashing automatically, let it finish to 100%, it takes some minutes
- Disconnect the USB cable when Flashtool reaches 100% and indicates flashing has finished giving some extra info about activating debugging mode etc (don't care, that's optional)
- Turn on your phone (press and hold the Power button until it vibrates or screen turns on)
- The first boot takes some minutes, don't worry let your phone prepare your Jelly Beans for you
- Have fun !! :highfive:
PS1: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAY "THANKS" to Yakandu (for the FTF firmware) and Androxyde (for the Flashtool)
PS2: And the usual disclaimer, of course: Follow the steps and be careful, I am not responsible if you brick your phone, burn your house, blow your PC or miss the rapture because you followed this guide; I am just sharing what I did to update my own phone :angel: and it worked for me

Just use the drivers provided by flashtool in the drivers folder

I have the latest version of flashtool (v 0.9.10.1). I am successfully able to flash any ICS ftf through it. But when i try to flash the .200 Jb firmware, I get an error in the flashtool (installation aborted) and it is asking for drivers. I guess its because the flashtool includes drives for ICS only?

Drivers are for the PC, not the phone, it doesn't matter which android version you have on your phone.
My advice would be:
- Uninstall Flashtool
- Delete the flashtool folder
- Reinstall flashtool (make sure you really have the latest version)
- Try again
If you still can't flash, try Flashtool Beta6 and please report back
You can find Flashtool Beta6 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
how about the option of wipe or don't wipe? ha've unchecked those options and no problem at all, just a litle laggy on the main screen
How do you root this JB version? I really want to root but have no idea how
Hi! I have installed this update and everything works accept for Play Store (Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped).
I did clean cash, rebooted few times, flashed different releases of JB but still can not get in Play Store.
What About Root?
any method to root it or we will have to wait?

Tried flashing with the beta version. Still the same error. Installed the drives twice from the drivers folder in Flashtool. No luck
EDIT -
I turned the USB debuging OFF and it worked

Curious detail, nice to hear you succeded
Mine won't do it. When it asks for the flash mode, I press the volume down and power button, the green led lights up but the program won't recognize it, it keeps the window open.

Why the power button? It's not required. Read the guide again, carefuly.
yeah, I actually don't know where I got it from, but I tried with the volume button alone and it doesn't recognize either =/
Managed to do it, instead of selecting xperia S, I cancelled that window, it then easily recognized my flash mode and installed it
FUNNY
Cosa chistosa OP pensé que tendría JB con PCC de manera oficial, pero tendré que pasar por el método otra vez! jaja
Bueno, veremos si lo instala.
Gracias por tu tiempo y esfuerzo:laugh:
thank you

If it is just only rooting, you can update your phone just fine. You will encounter the error if your bootloader had been unlocked. You can check your bootloader status by typing in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* a window should be prompt out. Go for software info>configuration. Look at the last one, if is saying bootloader unlock allowed: yes, then your phone bootloader is locked. If it is showing bootloader unlocked: yes, then your phone bootloader is unlocked. You can use flashtool to flash back original ftf to unroot. If you wan to relock bootloader, there is a thread in this forum. You can search for it

For windows 8.1, you will need to use another method to install the necessary drivers for your computer to detect the devices in flashmode and fastboot mode. I dont know it is working or not because i dont own windows 8.1 computer
First of all, the files you will need to proceed next step
1. flashtool. you can download it in offical website http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
2. original ftf file of xperia sl (credits to ska67) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423025 Just download all parts and extract it together to get the whole ftf file
3. usb cable
If you prepared those files, lets get started
1. install the flashtool(this is necessary because we need it flash the ftf)
2. copy the ftf file to firmwares folder (flashtool>firmwares)
3. for the drivers, the setup.exe is located in flashtool folder (flashtool>drivers>setup.exe). AFAIK, you cannot install the drivers directly in windows 8.1, you will encounter error messages while installing
To successfully run the drivers installation, you need to follow these steps
1. Update your windows 8.1, the files can be download in this website http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917929, if you are on windows 8, just skip to step 2
2. Once you are done, follow this tutorial(credits to neroyoung) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087
3. If you follow the steps correctly, now you should be able to install the drivers without getting error
4. Install the drivers(i already told you the file location at above)
5. Remember when you start the installation, check the box of the flashmode and fastboot drivers and install
6. Once the installation done, restart your computer
7. After this, now your computer should be ready for the flashtool to work
Now, this part is for the ftf installation
1. Power off your phone (just leave it beside, we need it afterwards)
2. Run the flashtool
3. Click the thunder icon (choose flashmode and click OK)
4. A window will prompt out, click the firmware of your device, i assume that you have placed the ftf file inside the firmware folder(it should be named as LT26ii xperia SL, the version will be 6.2.B.1.96)
5. For the options beside it, just leave it there (for the misc section, check the box named with no final verification)
6. Now, you can click the flash button(you need to wait for awhile before a window prompt out
7. A window should be prompt out telling you to connect your device to the computer.
8. Take your phone, press and hold the volume down key
9. Keep it pressed, connect the usb cable to your pc
10. release the key once GREEN LED lights up
11. Now the flashtool will start flashing, let it finish to 100%
12. In the meantime, DO NOT UNPLUG OR PLAY WITH YOUR PHONE BEFORE IT REACHES 100%, YOU WILL RISK BRICKING YOUR PHONE IF THE INSTALLATION WENT FAILURE
13. Once it reaches 100%, it should tell you to disconnect your phone and power on
14. the first boot will take a few minutes so patiently wait for it
15. once its done, have fun with your phone
PS: Follow the steps and be careful, I am not responsible if you brick your phone, burn your house or blow your PC by following this guide.

sorry to disturb, but I am new here and I have little knowledge about technology(android). Can you help me about how you extract the file (three parts) and make them into 1 file FTF? I am having trouble with my xperia SL too, I am stuck with old version 4.0.4. I have tried 2 firemware already but they did not work. Thank in advance!

Use Winrar software for extracting the files. You can find it online easily.
My experience
Friend, I tell you what I did: re-flash the ROM that I have. ROOT automatically disappears.
If you need more help not dude to send me a private messaje.
Sorry if I have any mistake, i´m from Argentina
Cheers!!
I opened the phone, and with recovery accidently deleted android.
Now the phone has no operating system and it stops on the white Sony logo.
Cant flash android as flashtool doesnt recognise the device. Also Sony EMMA doesnt recognise the device.
Is there something I can do to flash android again?
You still should be able to boot into Flashmode.
Download this: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/zCWNOyLT/file.html
Put it in Flashtool\devices.
Inside are modded XA1 files to match XA1 Ultra. With that You can create and flash* .ftfs.
That way I create ftfs for users of my polish forum about Xperias: http://www.xperiasite.pl/forum/396-xperia-xa1-ultra/
*Don't have XA1 Ultra, but simulations gave no errors and there is no complains from users.
Thanks
But i cant download the files ad i cant register to your site in polish.
Can you send ne another link to your files?
I have a G3221 version
Here You have all firmwares fo XA1u I created: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=201573
On that forum are additionally links to GDrive and MEGA.
Not sure where to upload that Flashtool files, never had problem with Zippy.
EDIT: Here GDrive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UqjtcLWyHOMDhGTjlJLW15TlE
Thanks
Firgett my last post, i managed to download both fules.
Will let you know if i managed to flash the device.
Thanks again
Thanks for your help
I download all the files
Put the first file in the flashtool/devices
Put the firmware in flashtool/firmwares
Also, i have the last version of flashtool.
But still flashtool dont recognise the device and not the firmware...
Can you tell me what can i do?
Not sure. Did You put G32XX folder into Flashtool/devices folder and .ftf into /firmwares?
Don't have he device, but at least firmware and unknown device in flashmode should be seen by Flashtool.
In the newest version of flashtool it doesnt recognise the firmware.
I did install an old version of flashtool and it did recognize the firmware, but still could not flash it...
Any error? Maybe it can be bypassed.
I use now flashtool version 0.9.22.3
It recognise the device
It also recognise the firmware.
With your firmware it flash with no errors and in the end it is saying ''Please unplug and start your phone''
But the phone still stuck on the SONY white screen.
I tried fkashing other firmwares but there is an error like ''can read only 55000 bites instead of 60000'' and then the flash is aborted...
Very strange...
Hello im trying to flash stock firmware in my G3223 but nothing detect the firmware. Please let me know. Thanks
