Arc S, CM 10.1, Black screen - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried to flash CM 10.1 & now I got blackscreen at rebooting. I can fix it by flashing old firmware, but I want CM 10.1 on my phone.
1. Bootloader unlocked
2. Rooted phone
3. flash boot.img from CM 10.1 zip file using flashtool
4. reboot -> blackscreen no reaction
Can anyone help?

Hmm, try to reflash kernel and enter cwm. In there wipe cache, dalvik and format system.
Then install the rom zip
Reboot

I dont even can start recovery mode. I flash kernel by boot.ini from CM 10.1 zip, reboot, nothing happens just blackscreen.
Anyone ideas?

Shutdown phone.
Press back.
Connect it to the pc.
Check if Flashtool detects it in flashmode.

You need to enter the Recovery and install the CM's .zip file from it.

[Q] cm-7.1.0.1-Xperia Arc-LT15i vibrate not work?

hi!
After installing update-cm-7.1.0.1-Xperia Arc-LT15i I have a problem that vibrate Broken Is there any solution?
Yeah, wait for the update with the fix in it
First backup ur current rom..then flash with .368 den insatl cm 7,it s worked for me..

So it means to boot into CWM recovery, wipe all datas, boot and dalvik cache,
power down the phone, use flashtool to flash the .368 ftf file?
after that use flashboot to flash the img file of cwm again?
then go into recovery, wipe all datas, boot and dalvik cache, install cm7 zip from sd card? reboot then go into recovery again to install gapps zip then reboot?
Did I miss anything here?
Yes..then u wil get back vibration..

I tried flashtool on my PC to flash the stock SE .368 rom...it keeps aborting...And because it aborted, the phone can't be switched on...
So I try to flash the .ftf file on another PC, and strangely enough, it flashed without problem...I was able to revert back to .368 rom after that, flashboot the CWM boot.img, rebooted into CWM recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery, wipe dalvik...
Installed the CM7.1 rom and GAPPS thereafter...it booted into CM7.1.
Question is...why is it my PC keeps aborting the flashing of the .ftf file?
I am using windows 7 home 64bit.
The other PC that flashed without problem is a windows 7 home 32bit.
If my experience can help people here...thanks.

CWM Disappears after installing any new rom.

CWM is no more there after installing a new rom and new rom won't load. Then i have to flash the stock rom again > root it > install CWM. Again when i install any rom it would install normally but nothing gives a blank screen after reboot and the stock rom is not even there.
The situation is occurring with the following;
Phone: Sony Xperia ARC S (LT18i)
Bootloader: unlocked
Android version 2.3.4 (Build 4.0.2.A.42) -
I have made multiple attempts on installing new roms but nothing works. Every time i reboot after installation im left with a blank screen. Can anyone advise what the problem could be ?
Thanks
Did u flash the kernel for the ROM u flashed ? The ROM will not boot without its kernel.

you must be installing CWM into the system through one touch command prompt program.. as such as soon as the ROM changes and you wipe out data and cache, CWM disappears..try flashing a custom recovery kernel which are available even for stock roms.
Also follow these steps for a custom ROM (eg CM9):
download the ROM, extracted it into a folder, copy the boot.img where you can remember, then copy the original cm9 ZIP - not the extracted folder- into the root of SD..use fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img which you had copied..its a recovery kernel so CWM should open..wipe out SD data..then cache..and then go into advanced option and clear dalvik..and then proceed to install zip from sd..then gapps.zip if u want..it should install fine..and then reboot.
Press Thanks if you think i was of help to you..:good:

Got it - Yes i was installing CWM within stock rom via market. though i tried to install it through adb/windows but still i guess the problem was all about not installing a custom recovery kernel.
Thanks a lot !

Of course it will still be stuck, you didn't clean the mess in your /system folder. ) You now have 2.3.6 and 4.1 having wild fun over there.
So, I assume, at this point, you have the stock ROM, with the stock recovery. So, what I suggest is that you read the little tutorial below and follow it exactly as it was written.
1. Download CWM for Samsung Galaxy Wonder from here. (It's also available in the development section here.)
2. Flash it via ODIN, by following exactly the same steps as for the ROM flashing.
3. Enter CWM and:
clear data (factory reset)
clear dalvik cache (under "advanced" menu)
go back one step and under "mounts & storage menu -> select "format /system" option. This step is crucial for a clean install!! Especially when changing Android versions.
under the same menu, go ahead and format /sdcard. (Be careful NOT to format /external_sd !)
At this point, you can choose if you want to flash the Samsung stock ROM again via ODIN or flash CM10 again (If you choose to flash CM10, I would suggest the latest version).
Now, if you want to reinstall the stock ROM:
4. exit from there and put your phone into Download Mode again (Home button + Volume DOWN + Power Button).
5. flash the stock ROM via ODIN
If you want to reinstall CM10:
4. go back to the main screen in CWM
5. go to "install zip from sdcard"
6. browse to the location of your CM ROM and flash it
7. flash the correct Gapps for your ROM
8. reboot
That's all. Good luck!
just wanna add one more thing in the end, if u wanna re install cm10 then install the alpha7 version so u can apply the combined mod which will work only on cm10 alpha7

Maybe your source file is corrupted? In CWM, after installing the ROM, does it appears installation success or update success any similar message?
And suggest you wipe data & cache after installing the ROM, not before. Wipe Dalvik cache too.

Ik think that the CWM version is to old.
Also if you want to go to lollipop later then you can't do this with CWM 6.0.2.
Download a new CWM with an minimum version 6.4.5 or TWRP 2.8.6.0.
Never tried to install the older version roms with TWRP but with CWM I was able to install all.

[Q] Problem Installing ANY AOSP Roms

Hey guys. I have a problem installing any AOSP based roms after upgrading to stock KK.
Here's what i did previously:
1. Upgrade KK using flashtool CSE method
2. Root using towelroot (tried using framaroot before but it was failed)
3. unlock bootloader using freegee, mako unlock and install TWRP
4. flash twrp multirom
5. made a nandroid backup
6. wipe data, cache, etc
7. install carbon rom, pa gapps
8. reboot
now my device stuck on boot animation. i've waited for an hour, nothing happened.. I've tried carbon, omni, CM, 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 version, all failed. However, i was able to install artmod without problem.
i wonder what went wrong? is it something to do with partition? can anyone help me please?
Thanks.

Well, i think i know the standard procedure, having flashed roms countless times before. But thanks anyway.
Just an update, i tried to flash gproj rom. It was successfully installed, but i got no data and wifi working. So probably it's modem problem. Hopefully someone can help me here..
Just try with a different recovery, like Philz touch.

That happens to me too
In my case, GPROJ works fine but GEEB get stuck at the logo only. Maybe you are only using GEEB ROM, or vice versa.
For example SLIM LP v0.6 uses GPROJ and v0.7 uses GEEB. v0.6 works fine for me and v0.7 doesn't work. Same with BLISSPOP v3.4(gproj) and v4(geeb).
I wonder if there's a way to use GEEB.
I have a E970.
