Hi guys,as the title says i cannot flah rom.
Well i can flash them but every rom has problem,I tried PAC,CM,SlimBean nothing work(or if it works,no more than one day or 2)
CM gives me MD5 errors,slimBean UI keep crashing,PAC every time i try to flash something in recovery(after flashing the rom)keep rebooting and stays on loop.
I know i mentioned specific roms and whatnot but at this time i don't think it's rom related(or recovery,i tried 3 different recovery),the only thing working flawlessly is the stock rom with root.
You guys have some advice? i've had the phone for about 5 months now and i wanted to try out roms but apparently i can't.
Cheers
Dave
Did you wipe everything when you flash new ROM?

the first time with CM no because i followed a guide which didn't.
But with PAC and SlimBean yeah i wiped everything.
The first time with PAC recovery went bad(i guess)and didn't let me wipe or flash anything,i flashed a stock tft repeated the process,the flash worked but as i reboot and tried to flash the on screen button it gave me the same recovery error.
maybe i do something wrong,i came from an HTC desire HD and the whole process was easier and less problematic
Fastboot the opensemc kernel beta2 kernel and then try again. Some people were having problems with flashing and Rayman has fixed it in his kernel apparently

Hi there,
since the release of cm 7.2 fxp104 my arc doesn't boot after flashing the new kernel with flashtools. If I flash back to kernel fxp103, everything works fine. With fxp105 it's just the same.
I don't now if I'm doing something wrong; I flashed new ROMs several times without any problems.
Thanx for your help.

You mean flashing the kernel using fastboot.
Have you flashed .42 firmware?
That's what I wanted to say, thx.
Yes, I'm using this firmware. And fxp103 is running fine.

So you flash the new kernel, boot into recovery, wipe everything, flash ROM/gapps and then when you reboot it ends in a bootloop?
I flash the boot-file and after that my phone hangs up during booting. I'm not able to enter the recovery.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
But you press several times volume down?
Have you tried to reflash the kernel?
Yes, I did. I flashed a lot of ROMs in the past and I flashed the bootfiles for fxp104 and 105 without any notifications about errors. But when starting the phone I get a blackscreen and that's it. I can't even switch the device off. Flashing back to 103 is the only thing that works.

Hi Everyone
I unlocked my bootloader a few months ago, rooted, and I flashed a version of ICS, which I think is stock. I dont have receovery installed, I tried to sort that out last night, but I got lost amongst and couldnt work out what to install and how.
Its 4.0.4 - 6.1.A.2.45 - and I am having a few issues with it. It seems to be laggy, the camera freezes when recording video and often crashes and doesn't save the video and the WIFI is just hopeless!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a better .ftp for me to flash? Please leave links if possible because this issue is just driving me insane!
thanks!
Amanda
hi, try to locked your bootloader then repair via pc companion.
and also, for your other question click my signature "Read ME".
If it's unlocked the bootloader then fastboot a custom kernel. Advanced stock is great. Then flash a custom rom. May as I flash a Jellybean rom

The only problem with this is, you need to flash the doomkernal, which requires flashing back to GB? Then you need to install a host of other apps to get it too work. Just so I can flash a custom rom, wow, nothing is easy is it,
This phone is just so damned hard to do anything with, I am considering going to the new Samsung when it comes out in a few months!
No just flash advanced stock kernel instead from development forum. It's ridiculously easy once you're unlocked and have a cwm kernel flashed
Download a custom rom to the phone (i recommend pac rom)
Download advanced stock kernel to pc. Fastboot using that guide.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from sd and pick pac rom (follow the guidelines in pac rom thread for flashing)

Hi there,
I definitely can't install any latest ROMs on my ARC (Ultimate HD 3.x, Zelly Cream,...) using CWM.
The latest ROM that doesn't hang during boot or just give black screen is Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (Ultimate HD MOD works either)!
- I've tried different kernels like Lupus, Fusion, RUSH as recommended in several threads but without any chance with latest ROMs...
- I've also tried re-download ROMs and kernels... No change.
- I've also tried rebooting without SD in case it sucks... No change.
For info I'm not noob, I use custom ROMS since HTC Legend...
I obviously erase /CACHE /DATA /SYSTEM /SD-EXT also dalvik and battery stats each time I install custom roms and always do clean install. No upgrade.
- My bootloader is unlocked,
- I've got one sd-ext partition,
Did I missed any new process that 100% require to use flashtool instead of CWM to flash latest ROMs? If so it suck
I don't really understand the issue this time except hardware failure but I don't have any issue of any kind with any previous ROM. No hang, no bootloop...
Any help would be very welcome
Thanks
Have you tried flashing original Stock. tft then flashing?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Nope. Never had to do so for any ROM since the day I unlocked my bootloader. And it's a so sudden behavior...
Do you think it could work ? I mean is there any specific reason that it could solve the problem? Does the latest ROMs use some brand new drivers or something else that may require that?
I'll give a try because I've checked my baseband and I'm 70 while you're 83... Am I wrong or some ROM do change the baseband while some other don't ?
I did use flashtool but only to update the baseband. not for flashing custom rom... That may be the problem
I start feeling ashamed LOL !!!
yeah, try flashing the latest firmware / baseband first.

Flashing the latest ftf should include the baseband anyway so you shouldn't need to flash separately unless flashing something different.
Yeah I'm sure it will do the trick... I'm definitely noooooob to forgot that baseband stuff... T_T LOL
I'll confirm tonight.
Thanks everyone !

Hi guys,
I've flashed the latest baseband (83) and it didn't change anything!
I've flashed RUSH kernel and install Viper Xperia V4 + modules + baseband 83 libs and it still hang at the same moment. with this ROM it freeze during the boot animation (4th times xperia logo appears if this detail can be useful).
RUSH works fine. Once again if I install Ultimate HD 2.0.3 I've got no issue at all...
I definitely don't understand what's going on...
Odp: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
Did you flash LT15i ftf or LT18i ftf?
All new ROMs are getting more features and they are getting bigger in size. Arc allocates less space to /system - maybe that's the reason.
When I was on CM10 on LT15i firmware I had about 1MB free space on /system after clean install.
Try flashing LT18i ftf before flashing any custom ROM.

Flashing LT18i baseband 83 + libs didn't change anything...
Re: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
Okay.Try doing it this way.
Flash stock 0.587 ftf.
Fast boot kernel that you want.
I presume the ROM that you need is already on your sdcard.
Go into recovery.Wipe data then go to mount/storage- format/system.Then choose the ROM zip and flash.
Tell me what happens.
For now do not choose any other baseband.Just use stock 77 which is included in the stock ROM.

Ok I'll do so! But I won't be able to do it before EOD Paris time.
Thanks for helping.
No luck...
I've reflashed stock 587.ftf, boot ok on stock at this point.
Then flashed Rush kernel, wiped everything as I used to do and flashed Viper V4...
It's still hanging at the very same point during boot animation! :silly:

Always consider evry custom ROMs instruction. Like in Viper thread, did you note the procedure in flashing the stock firmware?

Re: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
I am pretty sure that there was nothing wrong in all your attempts earlier.
Sometimes flashing a new rom takes a bit too long to boot up.
I do change roms very often but when I first started I had the very same problems that you faced.
We are so eager to use the newest rom that we do not give a chance for it to read the entire stuff that we've got in our device.
Sometimes first boot takes such a very long time.This is where we make our mistake.
We presume its not working.Or there's something wrong with the rom and a host of other things runs thru our head.
I for one was a impatient guy.Not so now.I just leave the phone alone after flashing.Use my secondary,much cheaper phone, till I feel I've given my arc ample time to sync completely with latest rom.

No guys, I'm 100% sure that it sucks. No offense to you but as I've said on my first post I'm not that noob on flashing ROMS, rooting devices... Even if I've left some stuffs due to the time I didn't changed my baseband... Indeed I read each ROM instruction I know the basic rules of the forum. Anyway I either don't take any offense and I understand why you write that...
I did precise at what time the boot process hang but it definitelty goes onto boot loop whatever the recomended kernel has been flashed.
I've left my phone rebooting several times knowing that it won't stop nut just in case, I've also cleaned all caches just before first boot...
Honestly I felt ashamed enough having forget that baseband stuff to not double checked if I did something wrong
I gave another try to Viper ROM some times after successfully boot onto AOKP M1R3 and obtain the same hang and bootloop.
Thanks all :highfive:
Last status...
I managed to install "Xperia T ICS Rom V7.1.0 For Arc / Arc-S" which looks interesting therefore I think I'll keep it.
coldmoonbeam may be right regarding that stock ftf... I did retrieve one from other source and maybe it wasn't the right one compared to the one I've got from Xperia T ICS Rom thread...
I'll try to flash VIPER again now and post the result. Then close the thread.
SOLVED!
That ftf stuff was the problem. It works with the one I used to flash Xperia T ICS Rom.
Thanks all for your help :highfive::good:
Hi Guys,
I Have an Xperia Arc which came with Gingerbread which then got updated to Ice Cream Sandwich(I dont know the firmware version no).I unlocked it using the instructions using Android DevKIT and fastboot from Sony Ericsson Mobile Website and flashed the stable CM 9.1. After Using that for about three months i waited for a stable CM 10 stable, but since it wasn't released i flashed cm-10-20130915-NIGHTLY-anzu. I followed the procedure to the T i.e.
->Wiped Data
->Cleared Cache
->Cleared Dalvik Cache
However after doing all this Only two things happened the screen either gets stuck at FreeXperia Screen or the FreeXperia Screen appears and then the screen stayed blank.SO i thought maybe there w[as an issue with the ROM so i flashed the MIUI ROM from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308849
But i was still facing the same issue, so i googled a bit and tried the instructions from this page
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-recover-when-your-android-device-is-caught-in-bootloop/
And tried flashing the CM 10 nightly again, but the above-mentioned problem still persists.Any idea as to why this would happen? What can i do to get the Phone working again? Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance ! :fingers-crossed:

strange because bootloop is related to corrupted rom or you are not wiping (3wipe) before installin new rom or old, i already test the kitkat Slimkat and to return to the 4.3.1 dirty unicorn the most cutomizable one and very good stability also, am using the classic CWM not the TWRP full touch version

You guys will probably have to Odin back to stock and then flash from there. Seems like something got corrupted with your upgrade into 4.4 I've personally gone all the way back down to 4.1.1 from 4.4 and had no issues. This was just to test a ROM but still.
