I can't get into clockworkmod recovery. - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I've been stucking at Sony Ericsson logo at the start and can't get into cwm recovery. I try to flash cyanogen 10.1 but it say "installation aborted" so, instead of recovering my stock rom from cwm backup, I chose reboot. Now, I'm stucking at Sony Ericsson logo. Somebody help!! How can I get into Recovery mode again?

It had happen to me as well. Try flashing LuPuS kernel or any other kernel which has inbuilt CWM.
Cheers!

How can I flash them? Please guide me, thanks.

Yes, you can use this flashtool as well. But make sure you find a proper guide for the particular flash tool.
And the above app is not mine. All credit goes to the dev who made it.
Link is working perfectly!! Why can't you download???

You could have saved 30$ if tried downloading and flashing new kernel.
Anyway, the good thing is your phone back to life..cheers!!

Internet Connection here is Damn bad!!
I've been busy with this for two days. Can't concentrate on my work. So 30 $ is worth. Cheers

The only problem with that(and any one that I have used) is that the flash does not work. If FC's when the flash goes off.
I have yet to find a version that has a working flash.

What Rom are you using? You are the first person I have seen that say the flash works.
I have been thru many roms, even flashing back to stock and thus unrooting, then rerooting and none of the versions I have tried (3. or 4, including the one here) have a working flash.

In that last photo, you have the flash turned off(you can tell by the empty circle on the right). In that case it will work great. Don't mistake the light coming on in that case as the flash. The lighr you see is used to focus only.
Force the flash to be on or set to auto and take a shot in a dark room. When the flash tries to go off it will force close the gallery.

So, no Force Closure but your flash didn't work as intended right? I assume we should see "something" with flash, unless you were in a field with nothing to reflect the flash.

That doesn't really answer my question. I would like to try to fix this before I switch ROMs.

You have to flash Gapps after dirty flashing the ROM. Sorry I didn't make that clear. I don't know why your WiFi bars are blank.
I got the store back, but the WiFi is still blank.

The screen freeze issue is annoying. I am actually running CWM from freegee because of TWRP freezing. You can flash HKfriends kernel and take care of that too, I would rather just run CWM, works the same and can keep my stock unmolested kernel.

Yeah, the first time takes a while. If your having issues with the deleting of apps, just freeze them, they barely take up space and it does the same basic thing, I personally just freeze everything, I can then restore my phone back to stock without even hooking it up to my computer.

Exclamation mark with phone

Hi. I own a Sony xperia as. I was on cm 10.1 RC2 and decided to flash 4.1 stock ftf using flashtool. After many failed attempts I flash yakundu's stock zipaligned and rooted ROM after wiping. But I got the boot animation followed by exclamation mark in a triangle.
Luckily the recovery was still accessible so I reflashed cm 10.1 rc 2.
After this I tried several other 4.1 ROMs like trinity etc but the same thing happens again and again.
Any idea how I can go back to 4.1?
Thanks!

Guys, I know what he's talking about. He's not talking about the wrench and spanner logo with the bar at the bottom. It's a different image by itself, which just has an exclamation mark with the phone lying under it. Like the dead Android when your flashing goes wrong. Except, all the flashing was successful, it booted through the kernel, but was unable to boot into system. That's what I think is happening. I tried mounting and unmounting and re mounting his system, but nothing worked. In the recovery, flashing is successful, but it's unable to boot into the system.

Well your backup is most likely not bad. Once we get your service back you should be able to restore everything just like it was.

Well after working with @imxsteezin I found his issue. He flashed the DN3 rom from another n2 device. I got him back up and running but warned him that flashing roms not for your specific device is bad. He got luck that it was a simple fix this time.
I guess you can flash everything back to stock and start over again
