New to xperia: need help.

Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!

trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.

Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

[Q] Quick question about unlocking the bootloader

I unlocked the bootloader, then installed a new firmware rom afterwards. Does the bootloader stay locked? Or do you have to unlock it every time? Cheers!

It stays unlocked next time post this in Q&A forum please

Welcome to the forum. Your thread has been moved as all question threads belong here in Q&A not General. Please post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks

[Q] how to put new rom on xperia m?

hi everybody, hope somebody can help me as im new to the world of roms and os.... i recently fully rooted my xperia m which is pretty cool, i backed up all my stuff and got some of the best apps available to rooted phones at the play store... i would like now if i can to go ahead with putting a better os or a rom onto it but really have no idea where to start.? iv watched videos on you tube which have helped a bit but am still quite unsure..
if someone could help me to locate some decent instructions to do so i would be very grateful..

You could better use the 'search' option here on xda... Moreover every rom thread has a set of complete instructions on how to flash it.....

can you recommend a ROM to use on here? im running on C1905? and also will i need to remove the boot-loader as well?

Yes.. You will have to unlock your boatloader....
One good Rom according to me is cynogenmod 11...
It's in the original development section along with the flashing instructions...

If you can get it into fastboot, this can be fixed without unlocking the BL. Go through this post and find one that is for GB 2.3.3 and flash it. Next you need to flash the GB 2.3.3 ROM back onto the device. I will continue to search for the stock 2.3.3 ROM on the interwebz

Did this ever get fixed?
