Try to reflash his kernel & ROM and do everything in the right order.

you will need to reflash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 .
1- check if your phone is unlocked (bootloader)
2- use the fastboot to flash the new kernel
3- follow the instruction of doomlord for booting into recovery
4- use the package that is given by doomlord

[HELP]Xperia Arc LT15i stuck on SONY after installing Xperia Ice Bean

Hi
After attempting to install Xperia Ice Bean on my Xperia LT15i awhile ago then reboot the phone, I am now astuck on SONY Logo. Itried giving n 10 minutes to wait for the tools to be installed however, I still got this SONY logo. I performed full reboot by removing the battery and still getting the same.
Now, I'm trying to revive my phone by installing the stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4.
Can somebody help me on this. I'm so nervous already that I might not be able to revive my phone.
Please I need your help guys ASAP.
BTW I'm using LT15i running on Rooted ICS 4.0.4 with the updated Busybox installed.
Managed to install CWM.
Here's what happened.
I have to tell it honestly. I didn't follow the instructions on how to correctly install the ROM. I just mount the sdcard and install the zip without even wiping the data and doing factory reset. I know its wrong but I still did it.
Can somebody assist me on this.
Thanks, I can donate some of my cash to your build if I revive my phone back.

Assuming you can get into flash mode, just reflash stock Rom available in the general arc section, use flashtools for this.
After you get stock back you are at the point of decision, do you stick with current set up or try custom roms, remember custom roms sometimes need custom kernels as well so you will need unlocked bootloader to send them via fastboot.
I have found some custom roms don't work I too get blank screens etc, but have installed the pureness build and it runs well

Bricked Xperia Play ( help?)

finally bricked my first device lol
can someone here help me out?
(r800at 2011 locked bootloader)
xperia play was rooted via the super one click and i flashed what i think was clock work mod recovery using version 7 of the auto installer app
after about a week of not being about to get into recovery by pressing buttons, i managed to get into recovery by using the volume down key
once i got into a recovery ( had blue text ) i full wiped ( twice ) and flashed Xperia Ice Cream Pureness and the black theme. after the installation was complete i rebooted and after showing the "sony ecricsson" the screen goes blank ( stays on ) and will only tun off when i pull the battery
no longer shows blue light when starting up and i cant get back into recovery mode
tried unbricking via flashtools but it won't recognize my device ( though it has before )
any advice?
any help will greatly be appreciated , thanks in advance

Well if you cleared your data then the recovery was probably wiped since you have a locked bootloader.... You need to update the drivers in order to flash the ftf for your model...

Flash this :
http://www.mediafire.com/?6v7ybyyik6g3si4
Or this :
http://www.mediafire.com/?qqvtl484nlz3gq0
Use Flashtool :
http://androxyde.github.com/
How to use flashtool is nicely explained on the website but I think it should be self explanatory for what to do.
You can also try flashing the Neo L ftf and install ICS Pureness over that if you really want an Ice Cream Sandwich rom. (Providing you can enter recovery because you have a locked bootloader)

( double posting , sorry)

If you want to use an ICS Rom on locked bootloader you have to flash a Neo V ftf then use an app like X-Parts or use RecoverX to gain recovery and then you can install Pureness as a flashable zip.
As far as I know people that flashed Neo L ftf had an Upside Down Camera and Gamepad obviously didn't work however Gamepad should work on a modified Rom (Camera might be a kernel thing - I didn't try this but I can almost guarantee will work) no other issues have ever been reported.
It is important to note that depending on how your phone/country communitcates (GSM/CDMA) might impact on your connectivity personally I don't know if AT&T is CDMA or GSM because they seem to use both.

okay thanks
also , i've read in forums that the at&t for this phone is GSM ( or at least in north america )

so, flashed a Neo V ftf via flashtools and got a brick ( recovered back to stock xperia now )
am i missing something?
does someone have a link to a Neo V ftf i can use?

Not neo V the Neo L (because it comes with sake hardware preset)

[Q] Bricked and not responding to Reboot Request

Xperia arc s: rooted and unlocked
Symptoms are as follows:
Attempted to install Cyanogen mod through using X-parts, however on initial reboot it simply got stuck at the Sony screen.
Cant get it to respond to any buttons or combinations there of and the PC wont detect it either. So its just sitting steady at Sony.
Are there any options or is this the end of the line?
Thanks,:crying:

Download Fusion kernel and flash with fastboot (google how to install custom kernels on arc s) then boot to CWM wipe all and install CM10 again. For CM9 download Lupus ICS CM9 based kernel and do the same.

Unhappy [Q] Bricked and not responding to Reboot Request
I agree with pypcier But on your post you say rooted & Unlocked when you say unlocked do you mean your bootloader is unlocked or your sim is unlocked?Also X-parts is really for locked bootloaders because it is installed to your system (where your rom is) when you install other firmware and format/wipe system you erase X-Parts so have to install again.That's why you are better of with a custom kernel with cwm built in :good: obviously you need unlocked bootloader for this

You say your phone is stuck at Sony logo so you forgot to flash the kernel. Just flash it through flashtool or fastboot

He tried to install CM10 through CWM (which was installed from x-parts), rebooted the phone and it was stuck on Sony. Obviously he didn't flash the kernel, no...?

You can only use the official kernel with locked bootloader
Use flashtools to flash a 1.96 tft.

Do a fresh installation of ROM and let it settle for 5mins. Then reboot your phone and let it settle for a minute, then go ahead try your camera.

I'm not a user of Flash Gordon but if not working again, you need to flash it in recovery like CWM or TWRP, clear cache and dalvic and flash the camera.
