Yesterday I made a clean swipe of SD Card and i tried to mount the USB storage inorder to copy the ROM zip but it dint work.Later i installed the drivers and with help of flash tool was able to flash the Stock file and was able to copy the Custom ROM.With the Flash tool now i was able to flash the Custom kernel and Custom ROM.
The problem now arises After flashing the custom ROM iam stuck at the Boot logo for nearly 2 hrs .I tried other Custom Rom also but the same issue.Help Needed.
Is ur bootloader is unlocked? Custom kernels will not work on a locked bootloader. Better u flash the stock ftf and then try... If u have bootloader locked means dont flash any custom kernels. U will get a bootloop..

If you have BL unlocked, just flash a Kernel with CWM in it.

You have many choices here.
My suggestion is :
1. ArcKnight 3.5.1 with Wifi module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597771
2.ICS stock kernel with CMW, just search in the development section u will find it

Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom
I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.
I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

cheers..!!
did u hit the thanks button yet.?? :laugh::good:
I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.
So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?
Am I right ?

flash the kernel of the rom u want with the flash tool if u have unlocked bootloader recovery is always present in a custom kernel
Hi i just got an arc form my friend to play with it & i am not noob with all this.
my problem is after installing custom roms like "Iridescent_Zed_III" & The Awesome™ ROM phone either boots up with FCs or just
stays bootlooping.
So i checked the system partition space and its less that the required by rom, so what can i do to increase the size of /system?
there should be a way as people are enjoying those roms w/o problem, so please tell me what can i do?

First flash Arc S stock ICS firmware, then flash custom kernel and then the ROM.
if you have any problem , just use Sony flash tool EMMA, and always you need to flash kernel from custom ROM, it`s the boot.img inside the zip file the ROM , and then installit from the sd card, if you dont probably you`ll stuck i n boot loop.
Hello, I'm Xperia s user, but my girlfriend has M Dual.
I know a problem, that we cant flash recovery on stok kernel. But we can do nandroin backup throo ADB, and flash custom stock based roms throo fastboot/ only we need to do Zip. with incleded scripts for wiping data\cache\dalvik\system(if need)
will anybody try\or help me? I'm askingonly poeple who willn't scary of softbrick
thanks

Huh? This is not a problem.
You can flash stock kernel with integrated recovery and then normally ROM.
Yes, you need unlocked bootloader. But anyway it's required to use customs.
As to your idea.
Yes, it's possible use fastboot to write dumps of /system from customs.
But this have sense only as alternate install solution.
