ok thanks bro for the guidence but now its like factory stat brand new
again i have to root,install cwm and then UHD
so i felt "E-root"is easiest for rooting
"x-parts"is easiest for CWM
and then simple onwards but upto UHD3.0.2
(still i am not sure for the cause either not wiping dalvik or unsuppoerted stock kernel for viper v5 rom please guide)

Yes you have to re root and re install cwm because the ftf file is the full stock firmware that returns phone to factory settings
For viper/UHD just copy ROM into SD, boot into CWM, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before installing. You cannot flash any custom kernel because you do not have an unlocked boot loader.

it means dalvik cache should be wiped?

[Q] Dead Arc

Im in a big fix right now. What i did was that i downloaded the desire hd file of the miui 4 rom and put that into the jason stein's speed porting software and started auto flash ever since my phone has't fully powered up. It doesnt get past the doomlord logo. I have tried to flash .42 firmware via flashtool and a prerooted one using fastboot but no luck. I even flashed your miui kernel and flashed the latest miui(for the arc) and it still doesnt go past the doomlord logo, Pleasee help

If you flash, say a stock ftf Rom you will not get dooms start up logo display, that is unless you then fastboot dooms kernel.

Okay, if you flash a stock ftf using flashtool it should boot up. Maybe your flashtool is corrupt, try downloading a fresh copy and a fresh ftf, surly then it should work.

You need the Kernel of the MIUI, im has the same issue, and done flashing with new kernel. Good Luck.

What I did..replaced the kernel in the speed porting software with the doomlord one. . and it worked a smooth!

Is it right steps for xperia s

Please tell me if im wrong
1.I have .55 firmware rooted & cwm installed
2.Then I will unlock my bootloader
3.Then I will flash custom kernel like Nova kernel through fastboot(is it prerooted or else I have to flash sys.img)
4.Then I have to format data,cache,system via recovery in phone
5.Then I have to flash P.A.C rom using recovery
Are the steps right or im missing something?

So no need to flash other kernel,only rom to flash?Will my cwm work after unlocking the bootloader.I have baseband of.55,Do I need to update that also?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Everything is included in the pac rom so you can just flash once unlocked. As far as I'm aware your cwm should remain

[Q] LT18i hangs after install any Custom Rom

Hi Everyone,
i had the problem that suddenly my LT18i hangs in Sony Logo after i install any Custom Rom.
CWM installed, BL open - but it won't boot.
Had anyone the same problem?
If it's possible, my english is not the best - so maybe if someone can help me in german :cyclops:
...René
Is the rom stockbased or custom?

What ROM did you flashed?
Deutsch: Welche ROM hast du dir ausgesucht?
Sent from my Xperia™ Arc S using xda premium
I installed a stock .587, Bootloader is open, have the phone rooted and installed x-parts. After this I have tested it with Viper, Racing Bean and Ultimate HD. After this i've tested it with the 4.1.B.1.13 ROM and installed it via CWM - same problem - it hangs in the Sony Logo.
try to change the kernel
the best one 4 battery is LuPuS
and the the best one 4 performance is rush kernel:good:
u can change it by flashtool
Ok, i installed the Rush Kernel.
After this i tested the Xperia Ultimate HD Mod - now the phone have a bootloop in bootscreen.

Do you wipe before flashing any ROM?
In CWM you need to do factory reset and format /system partition.

No, i didn't format system partition before. But I reset the factory everytime
Installed now after system format and factory reset the Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0.3 - this one works now. Will try later again the Viper Rom
Ok, i found my mistake. I did only a factory reset without "format system". Now it's work with every custom rom i've tested .

If your boot loader is unlocked you don't need X-Parts, flash a kernel with CMW, flash a ROM, done. Read the stickys.
The thing is my arc freezes when i try to get in cwm.

Try flashing a kernel that has CWM recovery on it, provided you have an unlocked bootloader.
