I have an Arc S with DoomKernel
I just flashed the .70 baseband and then Arconium ICS update zip. Now when I boot it shows the DoomKernel logo but then the screen goes blank (backlight is still of, just a black screen) and nothing further happens.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Did you wip cache/factory reset and dalvik cache? And did you flash the right kernel? Doomlords kernel for ics?

I had almost the same problem yesterday.
First time i did it,i flashed the baseband 70,then stock kernel and finally arconium.
but then when i open the phone,the bb is missing.
Then i tried flashing the bb again,this time,the phone wont even boot..
After that i tried flashing the nordic 568+wipe user data,baseband 70,stock kernel and it booted. =)
Fixed (kinda)
I tried reflashing both the kernel and the ROM a number of times with different options on Arconium but that didn't help. I flashed Arc-Knight Kernel and then flashed arconium again and this booted fine. It seems to have been a problem between DoomKernel and Arconium.
hi , i using JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.3b Stable | Android 4.0.4 Rom
everything is perfect and seems no problem but when i want to connect to internet with Wifi the On - Off work well
the strench is excellent
but after set WEP key and Try to connect it not work and just showing optaining IP ... continusly
i Try to change kernel from ARC Night 2.2 Jocker to 3.1 and Install Wifi module from Recovery ...
i try Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.A.0.562 with CWM 5.5.0.4 too and even i install stock wifi module
but none of them solve my Probelm ....
is this some problem with 4.04 Version ??? i use 2.3.4 version before and wifi work very well !! so what happend now ??
is there any Trick to solve this ??
thanks ///
Hi mate,
Did you let the phone boot up fully before you flashed the wifi modules. Or did you go into recovery straight after and flash the modules?
They don't work correctly if you boot the phone up first.
EDIT. If that doesn't work, then the only suggestion that I can think of is to use flash tool and just flash the original kernel back, nothing else. Then you can try again from fresh.
Hope I was able to help
hi , thanks for answer quickly
well i just use fastboot to load my Arc Nigt kernel
after that i power on my Mobile and i use volume down to load in Recovery and Wipe data and then install JJ's HYBRID 3.2 and right after that instal hot fix 3.3
then Reboot
after Reboot i came in recovery again and install Wifi modules and then reboot ...
is there any wrong with this way ??
That should be the correct way.
Try to flash the kernel again without flashing the ROM. There might be a conflict.
So leave the ROM on that your using now, flash the kernel, straight into recovery, flash the modules, reboot.
Don't forget to clear the dalvik cache, cache, and the battery stats after you have rebooted. I'd also recommend doing this before the above method as well just in case. This will stop the kernel from draining lots of battery and maybe fix the wifi as well.
I've never tried flashing a different ROM at the same time, so i'm not sure how it works. Give the method above a go, and let me know if it works. I know what to do then myself
If you still don't have any luck, try inFamous kernel. It's very stable and quite battery friendly, as long as you don't OC it too much.
(In case you didn't know, you can press any button to get into CWM, not just the volume down button)
thanks i will check it
It's in the advanced section right at the bottom. The dalvik and the battery stats are in there
Dear masters,
After 20 hours of reading and trying new things to me, I thought I finally knew what to do to get a custom ROM on my XPERIA Arc with stock 4.0.2.A.62 firmware. .62 seemed to be a pain in the ass, because this version doesn't want to get rooted. So I unlocked my bootloader and then flashed 4.0.2.A.42 on it. Everything on my phone was working fine.
Now I wanted to get a custom ICS ROM on my phone so I decided to go for Xperia Ice Cream Pureness V13. I downloaded the ROM and the patch for the arc and succesfully installed it with CWM recovery.
I did this by going into fastbootmode, flashed this kernel by doing "fastboot flash boot boot_ARC.img", because I needed a stock kernel, so I thought it would be better to get an advanced stock kernel. Then I did "fastboot boot recoveryARC.img" and my phone booted into CWM recovery. I had no errors whatsoever during the installation of the ROM and the patch. Using this recoveryARC.img file is my only way, because via the ROM manager app, I don't get into recovery.
When I tried to reboot, I just got another boot logo appearing, but just stays there and won't boot. See the image in the attachment.
So now I'm here with a not working phone and my noobyness.
Please help, thanks in advance,
Ruben
You say that you have installed advanced stock kernel.
Is it compatible with your ROM??
Edit...
Readed a little. Any stockbased kernel is suppoused to work.
Try with the latest stock kernel.
He says to let it be for a hour.
If anything wont help, revert to all stock.

Yea, so it's stockbased.
Anyways, I just kept on trying things and also tried a different ROM and now Jellybean Sandwich 7.3 just WORKS.
Still got no idea what caused the stuck booting screen.
To me, all these files, kernel, rom, flash, root, etc, etc complicates the whole thing and it doesn't make sense to me anymore what works with what etc... LOL. Anyways, it works now, thanks for caring

ahhh you are in JB rom....and so you aren't in stockbase rom/kernel -.-
you Must learn some of kernel,rom and other specifics or you brick your phone
now you are in Jelly Bean Version---> so with Rom JB and Kernel JB....if you flash kernel ICS or GB in rom JB not work and phone stop on boot (like your phone) ok??

When I go to 'About Phone' now, I see the kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf / [email protected] #1.
Seems like this is the original kernel, so the kernel never flashed? Strange...
Everything works fine...
No longer booting
So i saw this thread and its relevant to me. Figured i would start here.
Using CWM i loaded Iced bean ROM to my phone.. in my excitement i forgot to flash the arcknight kernal.. Now my phone simply boots to Sony Ericcson boot screen. No further..
on top of that i cannot seem to load into fastboot. When i try the steps from this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087 i cant get my fastboot to work.. no blue LED.
Have i ruined my phone?
I don't know it will work or not,but man, you can try ...
1: Using flash tool, put your Arc into Fastboot mode.
2: reflash boot_ARC.img
3: try some roms such as Ultimate HD 2.0 (recommended) , Jelly SandWich......
i hope it will be useful for you.

My problem is i cant seem to get into fastboot mode. I followed the steps to unlock bootloader but i cant get into fastboot. never get the blue LED.
@OP
The problem is, you 'jumped' from GB to ICS straight away with cwm flash. When changing OS, be sure to flash the new OS ftf first, then flash the kernel, then flash the ROM thru cwm at last. It's good to know though that now your phone is working again.

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. Im sorry if this was a bit long but I AM LITTRALLY BEGGING FOR SOME HELP! Please make a suggestion as to how i can fix this ASAP. Can it be fixed?Thank you for you Advice it is very much aprecciated. Ive posted this somewhere else in which i couldnt find but i really need help on this, please can anyone help. :crying:
you shouldn't post a like or not like any developer handmake. try back to a stock..

When switching kernels with different partition layout you have to delete data and system partition in fastboot mode.
I'm lazy to type again so here is a link where it is explained already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536&page=100
You can prevent future problems by wiping data and system partittion from CWM and THEN flash new kernel that have different partittion layout

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.

I just recently got all of my apps back and all that good stuff, i just want to know if they will get erased if i do this. My deepest appologies for bothering you with something so minor and selfish.
Sorry another selfish request (Damit) but when ever i flash the doomkernel v14 my wifi gets error, i was wondering if u knew how to fix this, if u dont and have the free time or feel like it, direct me to somone who does?

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

Im wondering about my battery life, because it seems to be draining faster. Im using no frills cpu with the lupus kernel alowing me to overclock to 1.6 ghz. I set my higest on 1613 mhz and lowest on 249mhz using the smartassv2 governer. any idea to whats going on ?
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

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 everyone,
I finally could flash my first custom kernel (LuPuS-GBv7-full), but now each time i turn on my phone, it boots into recovery mode. When the lupus bootscreen pops up, the phone vibrates twice, the blue light turns on, then off, then the phone goes into recovery. I have searched for a solution but none works. Please help me out with this one, i cant use my phone at all.
Thanks in advance
Did you wiped system and data partition from fastboot when you flashed lupus kernel? Iit is written in kernel thread with big red "important" word. Then flash your rom from recovery.
Also, did you flashed proper stock firmware first? .62 or. 79
You could always flash stock firmware with flashtool to get working phone

First of all, thank you very much for your reply, it help me a lot and calmed me down in a moment of despair (noob here as you may have already guessed).
Didn't answer right away to try out the stuff you told me and learn some more before asking again.
What I did was this (acording to the thread of the rom i want to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219154):
- Flashed Lupus GB with flashtools
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data and factory reset
- Wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash the rom (AtoMic GB 7.0 - PLAY r2) I could not flash the device patch and wifi modules as instructed because couldnt find them in the thread.
- Reboot
What I get now is the phone booting into the system, but there is only a black screen with the status bar showing the battery meter, a non functioning wifi icon and the clock. The notifications area works when i drag it down, also the volume with sound and power button. There is nothing else, no app drawer, no icons, nothing.
I even tried the previous steps first flashing this stock rom Xperia Play_3.0.1.B.0.285_AT&T (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768599), to get the same results.
My phone is a R800at, if this matters.
I kindly ask again for help to get the rom working propperly.
Thanks to your advice I could get my phone working again with a stock rom, but I really, really want to get this working, I dont like the stock rom, like most people around here dont, I suppose.
Thanks again
You are doing things right, but black screen means launcher doesn't work, but it's ROM related problem. I can't help you there much because i never used that rom.
You should try other roms. You could download few of them, place on sdcard and test and see wich one suit your taste.
I can only help you with few tips in problems that you could might find:
-"flashing" patches or modules means flashing from recovery with "install from sd card" option. Some rom makers make versions for more then one phone, so they just copy/paste text in thread, and if you can't see patches for download, it means it is already patched in newer version.
- Doomlord kernel need flashing wifi modules and you can find them in doomlord kernel thread. It use stock partition layout (system 310MB, data 380MB) so it will work if your previous kernel was stock one.
-Lupus kernel have wifi modules integrated, so no need for flashing them. But it have different partition layout (system 280MB, data 640MB), so you need to delete (wipe) system and data partition from fastboot if your previous kernel used stock partition layout. Also, use. 62 or .79 firmware because only on that firmware is possible to have bigger data partition.
-Always make sure that you are using kernel that match rom you are trying to flash. Read in rom's thread for compatible kernel

All set!
Thanks very much for the patience and everything, i think the trick was to install first the stock rom and then a kernel and rom compatible to use with this stock rom. Everything works perfect now, thanks again!
