[Q] Flashing Turbo Kernel v3.1 problems - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm just after flashing this as i was looking to move to Turbo UI from Australia. So i flashed boot_zeus_turbo-v3.1 reboot the phone and it shows the menu. I go to the next screen and select First/Internal slot and then select "TWRP Recovery" and it shows up "TWRP Loading" but it doesn't do anything after that. It just stays showing TWRP Loading. I'm just wondering have i missed out on a step or gone wrong somewhere?

Arc died after 2.3.3 update

Hey folks, my Arc came up today saying that there was an update to the latest software 2.3.3 so I thought why not ill let it go through and update my Arc (wish I hadnt now) :*(
The update downloaded and then went through the update process next thing you know the phone now refuses to boot, charge or anything else.
I can put the phone into flash mode but unfortunatley I cant use SEUS as the bootloader has been unlocked and the phone was rooted.
Any idea how I can flash the generic lt15 rom I have downloaded? any help will be greatly appreciated as it feels like my right arm has been removed (I might add im right handed)
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Don't worry. As the other user have said this, you can download flashtool and flash Generic UK. It fixes the problem most of the time.
Good Luck.

Right just flassed the bad boy but still refusing to boot, one thing to mention is that the notification led flashes whilst holding the power button
It was doing this before the flash.
Any ideas?

so the flash was successful right?, it usually takes a bit of time to boot up, if it doesnt work, then flash the carrier firmware, and call them up and get it replaced

The flash went though and the flashtool said to unplug and reboot but no dice.
Unfortunatley I didnt get the Arc from my carrier I bought it separatley so I cant return it
ANyone have any ideas? this things driving me nuts.
When you said refused to boot. You mean you don't even see the sony ericsson or the logo? Have you tried removing the battery and flash it again?

All I get is the notification LED faintly flashing green when I hold the power button, I have removed the battery and replaced it and tried flashing the phone.
One thing to note is that as soon as I plug in the phone it seems to go into flash mode straight away and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting (the flashes do complete before the disconnecting)

You said you are unlocked bootloader, then go to Bin4ry thread and install the img file for your phone and should fix it as well./
When you tried for the first time to update to 2.3.3 did you have enough battery. Sometimes during flashing the battery empties out and make sure that is not the case.

[Q] Custom Kernel Flashing ends with black screen , Arc S

Hi everyone,
I really like my arc s and I don't want to change it if it does not fail. However, I decided try new ROMS just to make my device a bit different with improved performance.
I checked several of threads and read them carefully. I have already finished these steps (I hope I managed to do properly) :good:
=unlocked boot loader
=rooted with a software called eroot
=installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2
As much I understand everything is ready.
So I have downloaded a 4.2 JB custom ROM. I put the zip files to my SD card and also extracted boot.img file to my desktop. By using Flashtool, I flashed it. After that, I rebooted the device to enter CWM mod to be able to load the ROM and googleapps. However, I only get BLACK screen everytime. (I press volume down and power button) .
I followed 3-4 different techniques and different kernels and roms but everytime the result is black unresponsive secreen, I only get small vibration and than black screen forever. Thankfully, I manage to save the device but loading LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf with flashtool flash mode. However, I really want a shiny 4.2 in my mobile .
By the way, about my phone : android 4.0.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
I don't know what I am doing wrong with flashing kernel...
Please share your experiences...
Regards
Onur
Hi again,
Seriously guys, I really need advanced help here. I spent 2 days for it, result is nothing.

What is the kernel logo that pops up, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
At least I have identified the problem, I guess
At first I didn't consider that as a problem but I think the reason of this kernel flashing problem is an issue about internal memory of the device. While flashing the kernel with flashtool, an error occurs "1 bad blocks encountered" (check the attachment pls), I did a quick search on the forum as well as Mr Google however the outcome is a bit devastating unfortunately. I think it is impossible to solve the problem. Still, I will be really appreciated if someone shares his/her solution for this problem.
Otherwise, I m kindly asking for ROM suggestions to upgrde my arc s (4.0.4 with kernel 2.6.32.9) without flashing a custom kernel.
Many thanks...
Did you use the latest version of Flashtool?

Unfortunately, I cant see any logos. I think I follow the correct method but as I said due to bad blocks, flashtool can't install the kernel properly :/

Xperia SL won't start up after installing custom ROM

So I flashed the eXistenZ BLACK Edition V1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271613 and now my phone won't start up. It seems pretty much dead. It vibrates though but I get no activity on the display. Help?
I think You have downgraded Your phone thus leading to brick. Try rebooting in fastboot mode and installing stock firmware ftf using using flashtool.

Can You provide the link to the ROM You installed? Because I don't remember Xperia S having a ROM with such a name.

Can someone please help me

I was trying to update my phone and something most likely went wrong. Then the update installed and screwed up my phone. When I turned it on it stayed on the startup for so long. I tried to clear cache through the bootloader, but now it shows the android screen of death except it flashes. This occurs even outside the bootloader.
I am rooted with stock os.
Thanks in advance to whoever helps

Hey, thanks for the response.
Could you please elaborate on how I would do this. Because I do not understand how to do this if the bootloader doesn't work.
Thanks, your response and input means alot
Take the firmware from Asus website, for me I took UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip
Boot the phone in bootloader and try to go in the recovery screen, it took me a lot of tries to get in it!!!
From here you can select "insall update from ADB"
From your PC you do a "adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip"

That's normal. When you get the error sign when booting into stock recovery, hold power down and press volume up and quickly release both buttons at the same time. If done correctly recovery menu will pop up and then you can start actually flashing.
Flashing
does this still work if the screen is flashing, because I tried before and it did not work, maybe I pressed it wrong or there is some other issue.
Thanks

Okay, try this:
Connect your phone and first, flash it in 'Download Only' mode. (Make sure to select all the partitions (I mean the files))
Then flash them all again in 'Firmware Upgrade' mode..
I'd recommend you to flash the KitKat file.
