Ok, so basically i have just gone ahead and followed these steps for flashing cyanogenmod:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Arc:_Full_Update_Guide
When i got up to step 7, i wasn't able to load clockwork mod, and because i am a noob and new to this, i actually didn't know that i had to install it beforehand. So now, i've got a phone which wont turn on properly (stuck with a lit up black screen) and will only connect into fastboot
Please, somebody help me!!!! I am really scared that i may have bricked my phone, if i can do anything to get it running again, i would be so happy. Please help
did you flash the CM kernel? and CM recovery comes with the kernel..you dont need to install it separately..

Alright first thing first. Which version of CM are you trying to flash? And where you downloaded it from?
---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------
Ok we will come to flashing ROMs later lets first get you to boot your phone so that you can use it and not be scared. Whatever you have messed up, flashing the phone with flashtool and official FTF would make it normal. I hope you know how to do it. Google around and you can find flashtool. Get it installed to you PC then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314 and download the ftf file and flash it using flashtool. Then your phone will be back up and running. Once its done. Come back here and tell me. Ill help you with flashing ROMs.
@ arpith.fbi
Yes i flashed a boot.img that came with the CM9 zip file, but that is all.
@ gnirujan
I am flashing CM9, and i got it from the downlaods section of the CM website.
I have also downlaoded flashtool but im not sure how to flash the FTF file. By the way, that file is for LT18i, and i have a LT18a. Would it matter?
Thanks for the replies
also gnirujan,
I checked that FTF file, and its 370mb. Is it the full firmware? If it is, i will flash it but if there is a way to continue with the cyanogen flashing, i would love to avoid downloading that ftf.
P.S. LANKAN PRIDEEE!!!!
ok first tell me during startup do u see boot logo? or any logo?
When i boot up, all i see is a lit up black screen with nothing on it
Flash the attached boot.img which is the FXP CM9 kernel from this site, then install the zip.
Ok, thanks, i will try it.
That didn't work either , did the same thing as the other.
I have managed to flash a stock ics ftf file, and i have finally rooted my phone. Now i want to try Rom manager instead to install, but when i go to install Clockwork mod recovery, it says stuff about my phone not currently being officially supported.
Any ideas?

Your boot loader is unlocked right? You wanna install Cynogenmod 9 right? You dont install the one from cyanogenmod site. It has a non working kernel. In XDA there are these guys called FXP (Free Xperia Project) they are the ones responsible for CM for all Xperia devices. So do this. Go tho this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356685 download the CM9 RC 1 FXP 128. Its a 130MB file. Download it and now extract it and flash that boot.img to your Arc S using fastboot. Now start your phone and you should see FXP boot screen then from there go to recovery and try flashing the CM9 RC 1 you have. That should work. I suggest if you can replace the CM9 you have in your memory cad with the FXP128 zip its better so that you can flash the latest FXP128 CM 9, which has lots of improvements.
Edit: Arc S and Arc same ZIP its called anzu

Allright as far as i know there are two ways you can get CMW installed on your phone. 1. Download CWM auto installer from play store and install CMW through that. 2. Flash a kernel which has CWM pre installed.
In this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793 you can find stock sony kernel with CWM. You download it and flash it using fastboot. That will get you CWM. hope i helped you.
Thanks gnirujan,
I managed to find a FXP127 kernel yesterday and it worked. But this would be even better. I heard that FXP128 is much faster as well, but I've already set up my whole system and dont want to reset it now . Any way of updating it without wiping?
Thanks again !!!

I believe you can try flashing on top of your existing system. I personally have never tried it. But i think it is possible. I would recommend you to flash FXP 128. The improvements are very very visible. More fast and smooth.

Hey all, I'm really new (noob)
This morning I flashed My Xperia Arc S and rooted it.
I follow this 2 post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038 (Rooting)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801 (Flashing)
It worked fine and then I installed Root Explorer and moved all bloatware to SD Card to make it faster and yess no problem till here...
But then I learned that before installing a custom kernel you need a recovery tool kernel, so I googled and downloaded x-Parts and Installed CWM and so on.
Then I turned off my phone to check the recovery, yes it's fine. Then when I want to reboot it stucked in XPERIA logo, I had waited for at least 30 minutes and nothing happened still stucked. So I unplugged the battery and then went to recovery again then I choosed factory reset then reboot. But when it passed the xperia logo I got blank home screen because I move the Home.Apk to SDcard because I had ADW Launcher.
and because the factory reset and can't go to the setting now I'm unable to flash, root, or whatever yeah because I can't setting usb debugging and unknown source.
Now my phone seems damaged in the main rom. So what I must to do now?
1. How to reflash your stock ROM?
2. If I can't reflash my stock ROM ( I think it's damaged because I move my Home,Apk and factory reset so my ADWLauncher is gone and now I I have a blank home screen), how to another custom rom to replace your damaged rom?
3. I think I have a critical issue, any suggestion how to make it normal again ?
thank you, very appreciate your help this phone have so many contacts and my job apps :crying::crying::crying:
note: sorry for bad english
You should already know the answer to question 1 before flashing anything, and in the time its taken to write your post you could have already found the answer. Reflash with SEUS or the flashtool.

Ok here is something you have to know before flashing a Costum ROM:
1.Root,unlock bootloader
2.find a ROM you like and follow every step
3.install only kernel that goes with the ROM you are trying to flash.Sample:for GB Arconium 8.2 you can use stock kernel and DooMKernel is grate with that ROM,so don't use other kernel that doesn't goes with the ROM.
3a.flash kernel first
3b.flash ROM
3c.flash kernel fix/modules if needed.
But just in case read a bit before doing anything.Good luck.cheers

Hey guys, i decided to finally root my s3 today and install a custom OS. All was going fin until i had to install GApps. I installed the wrong version of GApss for my firmware (4.1.2) and got a constant loop of errors such as "the com.google blah blah failed to respond", upon clicking OK on this, i just got the error "Sorry, the setup wizard has crashed" OVER AND OVER again in an infinite loop, making my phone unusable.
I am now currently unsure of how to reset my phone back to factory settings because every guide to do that requires you to actually be able to use the phone, pretty silly IMO in an event like this.I can still access team win recovery.... But thats not really helping me at all.... I tried wiping everything out of pure frustration and i think i just made my situation worse. And no, im a retard and did not create any backups (MFW )
So my phones unaccessable, and wont go past the boot logo for Siyahs kernal? So it is not even showing up as a device on my computer, meaning i cant even put any zips to install though team win recovery.....
Any help is appreciated.

Did you backup your stock ROM? If so just boot into recovery and restore, if not you can get an SD card adapter put a ROM on it and flash.
A question for you... Why don't you reflash your current ROM correctly....

paranoid android.
Put it into download mode and flash a stock tar.
But you could easily fix this by wiping everything and reflashing your rom, no need to go back to stock.

If you still have the Rom you flashed, boot into recovery, wipe system and flash your Rom just like you did before... don't flash any gapps, just boot after flashing the Rom... then use the browser that comes with the Rom and download the correct gapps, boot back into recovery and flash correct gapps, problem solved...

I used goo manager to install paranoid android... so i dont have the rom... And like i said i formatted literally everything, including the internal SD card. So how do i go about this through ODIN so i dont have to go buy an SD card...lol. That is what i tried to make clear in my first post..... there is no OS installed anymore. Nothing.
Every "rom" i have downloaded has been a .zip, not .tar.
I am very confused.
bump :S
It's late and I'm already in bed, so I won't be able to post my typical tutorial, but what you'll have to do is download a Rom to your pc, boot your phone into download mode and use adb to push the zip to your internal memory. Then you can flash the Rom zip in recovery mode. That'd be the best way if you want to avoid buying/borrowing a memory card.

Guys i really need help, I'm using an xperia play and i had just unlocked the bootloader and then flashed a the trueancestors ics rom and the LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full kernel. Now it turns out that i didnt like the rom so i put it back to stock, still with the lupus kernel. Everything was working however i wanted to have the doomkernel v14. So i flashed the doomkernel and it was working however the wifi had erroros so i changed back to the lupus kernel. Again everything was working fine now. I then found out how to fix the wifi problem on doomkernelv14 so refrlashed that kernel. Before i reflashed the kernel i deleted the trueancestors isc rom as i didnt like it so i thought it would be ok. After the flash i tried to reboot the device, and it was stuck on the bootloader for doomkernel, not in a bootloop just stuck at doomkernel bootloader. I tried to fix this by going to recovery (clockwork mod) and then did a factory reset, wiped the cache and data and the dalvik cache as i saw these online for instructions on how to fix this problem. Still i had the same problem, stuck at bootloader. So i tried somthing different and reinstalled the trueancestors ics rom, and tried to reboot the xperia play, again stuck at bootloader.

When switching kernels with different partition layout you have to delete data and system partition in fastboot mode.

I havent tried this yet,becuase i need my dad to allow flash tool to work (Parental controls ffs -.-") however i saw the thread and i saw this part saying enter these commands "fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase system i undestand how to get the command thing open but how do u enter these in, and what i mean is do you just open the command thing and just paste these in or do u have to right click somthing open comand promt here and all the stuff then enter them? Also these steps u listed, everything is fine its just my lack off knowladge for some of these things which i do apologize for
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
3.erase system and data from fastboot
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Where do you get the unlocked vender partition, and which one is better .62 or .79 and if u could send me a link as your helping me i think ur choice of links for this is more reliable than mine, and again this is greatly appreciated.
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
Download file name R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post have firmware files
Guide how to use flashtool you can find at [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
Flashing .79 or .62 firmware is necessary if you are planning to use lupus gb or icd/gb kernel - and you only need to do it once.
Flashing kernel is same, but when pressed on lighting icon, choose "fastboot"
3.erase system and data from fastboot
Ok, i made a zip for you. Download it from attachment, unpack to anywhere you like and double-click file named "start". Power off phone, press search and while keeping it pressed, plug in usb. I don't think you need admin rights for that, but:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROM PLACED ON YOUR SD CARD! Just in case, because that program will erase everything from your phone.
You should be able to enter recovery and/or flash your rom/restore your backup.
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Also, read some sticky threads, they are there for a reason
Again im really sorry to bother you with this, but what if i dont want to flash the rom, becuase i didnt like it in the first place so i went back to stock, however this method of returning to stock was to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf file. Now what it did was return it to stock rom (AFTER i tried the rom i didnt like) and unrooted the phone, i dont know if it returns the phone to stock firmware, and if the method of the system data wipe thing with the command prompt deleted everything, what can i flash? Little more explaination as to why im asking. Before this boot stuck thing hapenned i had used that same ftf file to return it to stock and unrooted. I re-rooted the phone and then flashed the lupus kernel. Everything was fine. I wanted to flash the doomkernel because like a dum nut i wanted to show off that i could overclock to 2ghz ( if i wanted to) as if alrdy stated before and did so. I think you can only flash zip files from your SD card so the ftf file wont be able to be flashed while on the device. So what do i flash? Should i just flash the rom i dont like and try return it to stock, then flash the ftf .79 firmware again after re-rooting the phone, then flash the doomkernelv14. In short i want to stay with the normal gingerbread 2.3.4 with doomkernelv14. Again i havent tried this yet and also sorry for these long rambly posts, i just want to give you as much info as possible in order for you to help me. Thank you so much for your solution btw much appriciated.:good:
And almost forgot i also want it back to rooted but i can do that myself, i just thought i'd specifiy it just incase its worth anything.

Yes, if you wipe data and system then EVERYTHING is deleted. All your apps (data) and even android OS itself (system). You'll have to either flash new rom or restore backup after wiping system

ok...i screw up my xperia play... dunno what to do.
hi guys, been a noob after i fed up with my xperia x8 now i having a xperia play f or 2 years and try to install a custom kernel and roms but i end up brick my phone. it just stuck at logo "xperia free play". it still can enter cwm recovery mode but when i use the method press the arrow thing then plug in the usb cable to pc , it seems my pc did detect my phone but cant show up my memory card in 'my computer' window. The i try to use fastboot & flashtool both can detect my phone after plug in. Here is what i do before brick:
first thing i did on my phone was to upgrade the stock kernel 4.0.2.a.0.42, then i unlock the bootloader, root it, and start download the custom rom without download the requirement kernel. after that, i install CWM using fast boot, put the custom rom to sd card, wipe user data, bla bla bla, then install the custom rom, the next thing i see is the problem i talking about earlier. So i try to using the service update from SCE but it just say im using a modified kernel hence i unable recover it using that method. so, i try to use flash tool x10 (i cant get any working download it keep saying error 404 link, this is the best i have now) when i press the flash it come out red words with error usb ...the thing is my phone cant get detected by my computer.... What to do or it is over? (p/s : i download the flash tool & adb package winrar file & the custom rom i mention is close 2 perfection)
I know is a bit long but I really need help on my phone, i still have a x8 here from my mom and mine is xperia play brick for 3 days now i still cant find a way to solve it. PLEASE HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP. THANK YOU FOR THOSE RESPONSE~!

Man i was doing so well before, but im now stuck in a bootloop. I cant enter the recovery menu as the phone just keeps bootlooping. Also with lupus kernel the menu doesnt come up. I just erased the user data and system with ur zip from before and flashed aurora play with lupus v12.5 kernel It worked like everything else. i got more curious so i did the same thing erased user and system data then flashed gin2jellybean with the same kernel.( i followed ur intructions from before on how to flash roms n stuff) Everything worked again. I wanted a new kernel so i flashed extreme kernel r3. phone got stuck in a bootloop. So i erased user data and system data, then flashed and ftf stock rom and then flashed extreme kernel r3. everything was working. I went into titanium backup and uninstalled some system apps and accidently deleted the one that let you see the running services to see available ram. So i cleared data and and system data reflashed ftf stock rom in flashmode ofc, and extreme kernel in fastboot. I got a bootloop, so i tried all the different kernels that i could and i cant get into the menu for recovery. Can you please help me once again, i'll thank every post.

For most part, you are doing it right, but, to solve problem with recovery, you should use "eraser" AFTER you change kernel

Naturaly, it will drain more battery BECAUSE it's overclocked.

I think you should repeat the fastboot process once again, so:
fastboot erase userdata
and fastboot erase system
then just flash the kernel you prefer.
I had exactly the same problem with my play bootlooping after flashing some kernels. and this solved the problem for me :victory:
sorry for my bad English, :crying:
Hello!
I recently got a Note 2 (GT-N7105)
And for some silly reason wich even disappoints myself i wanted to overclock , well that didn't make sense i know but however i did it! and directly after i installed the required file (I don't remember wich one but it was for 1.8Ghz) after the installing my phone kept showing the boot logo , i tried to use my backup but even after restoring it didnt boot! I cleaned everything wich also cleaned my backup...
I been on it for about 7 hours now trying different roms , kernels , and every file i could find but nothing helps.
I now installed Cyanogenmod using CMW but even that bootloops.
The last thing i could notice is CMW showing me a E: failed to Mount /efs (Invalid argument) Wich makes me worry even more...
I honestly hope there are some good peaple who could help me with this... Finally got a great phone and by stupid mistakes i made it won't work anymore..
I don't care what rom gets on it , Even if its a hello kitty rom u won't hear me complain , If the phone works again i'll be happy!
Not sure if this helps but its a GT-N7105 , i know it had the newest android there was (4. something, i think it was 4.3)
Odin does see the device , My CMW (6.0.4.1) works and Download Mode works.
I hope anybody can help me!
In case you want to help me live wich would be awesome my skype is : chrishendriks92
If it gets fixed i will Offcourse place the solution here.
(The note is not a new one , its used and a few months old , worked 100% before my stupid decisions bricked it)
(so here's a small version)
-Every rom i tried will bootloop , It shows a different boot video/logo everytime tho
-It all happened after i tried a 2.8Ghz Overclock
-i get a EFS error in CMW
-Accidentily i deleted my backup but i don't mind whatever rom gets on it
-Download mode and CMW (6.0.4.1) works

Ok, so what I would do.
I would wipe data through CWM.
Download official ROM from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
I hope this will help to get the phone booted.
After that we will worry about imei recovery.

Thank you for your reply:good:
I'm downloading it , looks like its going to take a while so i'll let you know!
Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. It has a recovery package that should do the trick. There is a thread on it on here but i think it's closed due to Microsoft signature issues

I'm afraid downloading/Flashing the rom didnt work.
ill get the T-Mobile screen , and then the samsung logo where it gets stuck , the install was completed tho so no errors whatsoever
This is a picture link s30.postimg.org/8l0bgrxa8/image.jpg
Would be amazing if you could help me out with this because i can't choose ''Option 2'' right picture , it just won't take it.
I can install teamviewer or whatever programm you want
I have the same problem, I'm on 4.3 version and tried to downgrade to 4.1.1 and went back to 4.3, I formatted the system through twrp with NO OS INSTALLED to be sure it is totally cleaned but all the way, I still experiencing reboot issue.
At first I encountered unfortunately systemui has stopped, done rooting and fixing permission but still no luck.
One more thing, I already flashed pit file.
.
(Update , I tried anything i could but it didnt work out , its going to Samsung Support)

You installed a kernel right? To over clock? First flash new bootloader, then flash stock kernel, then again flash stock rom, do not let the device boot up before you have done all three.

I tried Agni pure kernel and followed your instructions but no avail,I think there is problem with the board,because when I wipe, the SuperSu also erased.

I said to install stock kernel not custom kernel, and after wipe when you install stock rom you will loose root and also loose all data and apps from previous rom anyway.

yup I already did that,I flashed stock kernel from http://opensource.samsung.com/.I know reflashing stock rom will delete everything including root.
What I mean is when Im rooted and tried to wipe the phone, SuperSu also deleted.Im wondering that I have a corrupted emmc, It seems that it is not mounted correctly, although I tried to flash a pit file already.
