Phone blocked at 2nd logo - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I have a stock Xperia arc S fully stock. Today I try to root my device and after I sucessufuly complete the root, I've started to unnistall all the unnecessary apps in order to improve the device speed. I was thinking I was doing everything right but I think I have unnistalled some apps that a shoudn't. After I exit the Titaniun backup I've notice that I have no launcher, so I try to reboot the device. After that it does not pass the second logo and I don't know what to do. Last time I've had the USB Debug off and now I can't turn it on to restore via PC company and I've allready try to flash the previous kernel but I really think the problem is related to some apps that I've had unnistall. Do you think you can help me solve my problem?
Thank you for your time :l

wipe cache &dalvik; run aroma from cwm and select your preference

You not do a backup via cwm recovery just reinstall backup if you have.

If you installed cwm..
Then go to cwm when you power on by pressing volume down +power on
And do factory reset
Else download latest stock Rom(.ftf files) and flash via flash tools

HELP ME
I am sorry to intervene, but how come I always get boot loops when flashing this ROM via X Parts CWM. My phone was a 4.1.B.0.587 model, and I downgraded kernel using flashtool from .587 to .562 to root using doomlord. Once rooted, I then upgraded kernel again using flashtool. Now my phone is STOCK ROOTED with 4.1.B.0.587 model. Then I rebooted my phone to go to x Parts CWM once the blue notification LED is shown. This is when the annoying part starts.
1) Full wipe (factory wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, battery stats wipe, even went to mount and storage and did /format -data, /format-system, /format - cache, /format - sd card ext.
2) Install zip from sd card to flash this ULTIMATE HD ROM. AROMA Installer loads and viola, I am at the first stage of AROMA installation.
3) I did even checked 'WIPE' in AROMA installation. When everything is done installed, it went back to CWM and it says something like
"Okay Ultimate HD has finished installing, phone will reboot. Thanks". So my arc s rebooted and then it went to have a bootloop. WTF. Guys help me please been trying to do this for 2 days. I never had any problem when using Thillinac Ice Cream Pureness. Grrr.

So weird ;
1. Why do downgrade to root--if you unlocked bootloader you're superuser.
2.If u unlock BL, now u dont even need Xparts...which use for lock BL
3.if you answer me "my phone still lock BL"--so u cannot flash modded kernel and modded ROM
Suggest for you = > use the stock kernel which recomended by the ROM....use CWM 5.0 or higher....

How do I use CWM to partition SD card?

First off there is no "CWM" app in the app store. Is it actually called x-parts? Where do I get it from?
Yes It's Called X-Part you can downloaded from the playstore and flash CWM and after that reboot into recovery and you can do SD card partietion

What do you mean "flash" CWM? You mean click the "Install CWM" from the X-Part app? I've got the Lt15i I'm not sure if it works for it.

What safe Mode ????
You download X-part installed CWM and rebooted in recovery mode.
Go to advance and there you will find Sd card partition.
Good Luck I hope you Know what you are doing

That's what it says on the screen, safe mode. How do you boot into recovery mode?
If you partition your sdcard your data into sdcard will lost. Try to backup sdcard first

Thanks I actually got it to work, I wasn't making the second partition primary. But still how do I boot in to "recovery mode"? I hold down the volume lower button when I turn on my phone and nothing happens.

It is the back button as soon as you see the Sony logo start pressing if this fails you need to move the recovery.tar to system/bin setting permission like this

Use root explorer to move file and set pemissions.

When sony logo appear, press volume down continously until you entered to recovery mode.
I never using x-part, i always did it with custom kernel. But maybe that is same way.

i did it and the camera app worked for a few clicks.
lateron i got error tht no camera found so i reboot into cwm and clicked on recovery to recover the backup that i had taken before installing the camera mod. there i got success message at the same time i saw errors llike
cannot mount cache and some more related to cache..
so now i am stuck at SONY logo, i cant go into cwm.

Flashtool and flash gingerbread again. If you wish, you can keep your data by unticking Wipe data, Wipe Cache and Wipe Apps Log.
Or if you have unlocked bootloader, you can use Sony EMMA (Sony's own flash tool, works only with unlocked bootloader) to reinstall Gingerbread.
I think wipe should be useful. Flash GB again and wipe your phone. Do it with Flashtool. Also you'll use your data, so make a backup before.

How to reflash rom,i have no custom roms installed,and no recovery app
Download a ftf file for your phone then move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then open flashtool then press the flash icon then choose flashmode then select your ftf file follow the instructions and your phone will take a few minutes to switch on first time but it helps this method can be used to unbrick and to return to stock YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA WITH THIS METHOD BUT IS 100% WORKING
