Xperia Arc bricked, no led, no charg

Hey Guys,
I've a big problem. I know everyone here has but my one is really big .
I have a Xperia Arc. So far so good.
Yersterday i flashed this
- kernel ArcKnight Kernel RC3.5.1
and installed this
- rom Xperia Ice Cream Pureness[Build 8]
And tomorrow i noticed that my Xperia don't do his job anymore.
When i'm trying to start it, it does nothing... I can't charge it - there is no led and PC don't find it...
What do you think guys? Can you please give me an advice how to fix this problem, and please no jokes.. I'm still crying about that...

well, obviously there was a bootloop which consumed all of your battery in about 12 hrs.
1)now what you need to do is, charge the battery using external sources
2)download the stock kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793 (i assume that you have 4.0.4 flashed on your phone....from before)
3)flash the stock kernel on your phone....
4)the rom should boot up normally....
5)try this and post what happened
hit thanks if it helped

Our arc neva dies

You should install kernel which allow 2 way recording.
I don't know exactly which one allow this.

I know but when i flashed some Arc Knight phone boot loops. And dooms kernel eats battery. Litteraly

More information about your phone please.
What firmware/ROM, what bootloader etc

Stock rom ICS 587. Flashed Aeon Lock Screen.Walkman,Jelly Bean statusbar and Xperia S apps. Everything else untouched.

Screen problem only lupus v13 works

I've been trying to switch from jellybean back to GB. But every time I flash another kernel no matter which one I get a blank screen with only the backlight when I turn on the phone. Not even the kernel image or boot animation show up just a backlight. I've tried every kernel I could possibly find as well as flashing stock ft for my r800x. The only kernel that works with the screen is lupus jb v13. The weird thing is lupus v8 doesn't eben work nor turbo kernel. Lupus jb v13 is the only one that does. I wsd thinking it was a hardware problem but not sure because lupus jb v13 works fine except for when I slide open game pad I have to shut screen off and on for image to show up. Its been like this for a couple days and I finally decided I need help . So if you have any suggestions please help me. Thank you for reading my really long desperate plead for help

Just an idea, is it any command in build.prop to disable autobrightness? So you can change rom before flashing.
Or if you know how to blindly flash a rom (positions in cwr, name folder on sd card "AAA" so it can be first in the list).
Or maybe program on pc that can take screenshots so you can somehow disable autobrightness...
But it's probably hardware fault...

Anybody have an idea? I tried GB and ICS again and I got the same result a barely readable screen. If its a hardware problem what does it sound like? Flex cable maybe? I'm still confused on why it works with lupus job v13

Did Wedgess released any versions between v8 and v13?
In he's changelog, in v9, there is an "Undervolt LCD display" feature. Maybe, but not nececcery, a thing that is lighting up your display...
What other kernels did you tried? All of them? All versions?

I tried doomkernel v14, lupus v12 gb, turbo kernel, stock, full stock ftf. I'll try lupus v9 to v12 jellybean and see if they work. If they do then that might be the problem. Thanks for a suggestion I'm dying to get this fixed because my play is basically useless on jellybean

I'm curious too why it works only on jb13.

Actually no I haven't thought to try cm kernels I'll try it later and tell you. If you have any of lupus kernels between 9 and 12 that'd be great if you could upload them.

i have only Lupus V12 (other then v13 and v8), i wasn't following it much, coz i'm mostly on ics roms...
As i recall, muiu have their own kernels too.
If wedgess only know what he changed in v13 (or less versions), it would be more helpfull for you

OK I tried lupus v10 to v13 minus v11 and they all worked. I haven't tried cm10 kernels yet. But this makes it look as if its some thing he changed in the newer versions. If only I could do the same thing in other kernels then they might work but wedgess doesn't have any time so I'm kinda stuck

Yeah, i saw your post in kernels thread.
I found link of how build kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149508
I wanted to learn to build kernel from source, but unfortunately all my attempts to setup linux on virtual machine has failed (and linux is needed to build kernel from source).
I understand your frustration, since all jb roms have touchpad lag, and kinda kill the purpose of having Xperia play.

And cm7 or cm9 kernel? So you can have gb or ics working on your phone.
I'll try again today or tommorow to set up virtual machine. It's not that i don't know how, but since i changed cpu on PC, i couldn't install any, nor windows, nor linux.

Yesssssssssssssssss I have finally got it working after a whole week. After flashing cm10 kernel i decided to try lupus jb v8 again and it worked. Then i tried lupus v12 gb and it worked. I think the cm kernel fixed whatever the problem was :victory: yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (as you can see im really happy) now im going to do some flashing thanks for your help and suggestions. I would have never fixed it if you didnt tell me to try fxp kernels

Ahhhhhhhhkhkhk it messed up again :crying:. I shut my phone off and when i turned it on it had the same problem. I tried flashing cm10 kernel and it works but now the other kernels still dont work. I know what the problem is though its the backlight. Because i flashed lupus jb v8 and a rom aand it worked but you can barely see the screen. So i think its because the backlight wont turn on. On fxp cm10 and lupus lupus jb13 it works by itself though. Ahhhhh this is so frustrating. I was just about to test dixperia 3 too and now i cant. For now im going to go back to jellybean but i really wanna get this fixed but im starting to get conviced its a hardware problem. I think ill take my phone apart and check

-try to turn on phone with opened gamepad
-try to flash kernel with opened gamepad
-flash kernel, turn off phone, pull out battery, try to turn on after 10 minutes
-boot into (jb) rom, from flashtool, select "boot into fastboot via adb"
-flash kernel only when the Moon is in 30 degree angle between Sun and Earth lol
Sorry man, i am getting out of ideas

im going to try everything you suggested except for the last one lol. I think if none of those work i might just give up. But does anyone know if kernel affects backlight in any way because thats the problem. With other kernels the backlight is off so even highering brightness doesnt help. But with the other two kernels fxp and lupus v13 it works fine. When i flashed lupus jb v8 after fxp cm 10 kernel last time it worked. I tried the same thing again but without any results

[ROM][LB/UB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10

PREAMBLE
As the title suggests, this is CM10 for locked bootloaders. Since many people doubt this works, I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, whining children whatsoever. I have tested this on my locked Xperia S and it works so good that I decided to use it as a daily driver.
This ROM is for all those who have got tired of Stock-based ROMs!
Oh, and please, do not post feature requests or bug reports here, use DevDB instead, thanks.

Someone with locked bootloader should try, but I think it should work. You need to flash it with Sony apps from somewhere, but all the prerequisites are there. And 12 MP camera and 1080p video recording, should work since this is based on 1.96 firmware, the kernel is the same.
