Unlocking & Flashing Arc S with Linux OS - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
It seams to be assumed everyone is using windows these days?
Well if your using Linux this might help -
Get unlock key from sony HERE
Download SDK Manager HERE
Recommend creating folder in home called Android Development and placing zip file in there, then extract in same folder.
Download your selected Kernel & Rom from HERE
Recommend creating folder called Xperia Arc and place both Kernel & Rom there, then copy the Kernel to the Platform-Tools folder which is in the SDK folder, in the adt bundle folder (SDK Manager Download).
Copy the Rom to the sd card (still zipped)
Enable USB Debug mode in Developer Options in phone settings menu
Turn phone off
Hold menu button and plug phone into computer, (blue led will light up, let go of menu button, phone now in fastboot mode)
Open Platform-Tools folder, right click on adb and open as root, then in Platform-Tools (as root) right click adb and open in terminal
./adb start server
./fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
You should get a response back, i got 0.3 this means phone is connected correctly, (dont worry if you dont get a responce from ./adb devices)
Next to unlock the bootloader
./fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEYFROMSONYGOESHERE
If done correctly unlock request will be sent to phone, phone will erase various blocks of memory and response will be OKAY like this
Barks-Laptop platform-tools # ./fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
version: 0.3
finished. total time: 0.001s

Unable to boot Custom Kernels

My unlocked R800i doesn't seem to be able to boot custom kernels! After flashing a kernel it will go to the splash screen before the screen turns black and the phone reboots. I have tried relocking and unlocking again but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The only kernels I can use are DoomLords, with any others such as FXP, Mjolnir and KeICS not booting.Can't figure out whats wrong, any ideas?

i think you need to get the most recent, the newest version of the kernel
and i suggest you to do a full wipe, also with the dalvik cache

I am using the latest version of Mjolnir and FXP, KeICS was just used as an example. I can't get into recovery to perform a wipe.

Re-read the instructions for the kernel your using you probably have to use a different button to get into recovery, like volume button or something. Doomkernel is back button

Pixel XL bricked, bootloader locked and recovery doesn't work.

Does anyone can help me?
My Pixel XL brick more than a week ago, and I couldn't. I was installing the 8.0.0 official image from the bootloader with fastboot (a "clean install"), apparently there was an error installing the recovery and I didn't realize, so I lock the recovery (with fastboot oem lock and Up Volume key). After that, I restarted the phone and now it doesn't start (it shows only a "Google" splash and it restarts again).
I can't use the recovery mode (to use adb sideload command), try enter to the recovery makes the phone start "bootlooping" too.
I seen another thread explaining my problem, but it has almost a year without activiy (I asked on it to the user if he could solve that this problem but it seems like he doesn't use xda anymore):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/pixel-xl-soft-bricked-unlock-bootloader-t3540772
I live in Uruguay, so I can't RMA.
Summary:
- My phone is bricked.
- I can enter to bootloader, but it's locked.
- I can't enter to recovery mode.
- I can't RMA.

I assume that you have tried fastboot boot with the correct twrp image?
I understand you locked the bootloader, however, maybe the stock images didn't flash correctly to reset the "allow oem unlocking" in the developer options..
If that's the case, try unlocking the bootloader again with "fastboot flashing unlock".

I can't enable Bootloader Unlocking from the developer settings because the device is bricked.
@zades9 I have an idea. Try downloading an OTA image to 8.0 and flashing that from stock recovery if you can access it (twrp might be cool too idk). If it will not let you flash an ota because you're already on 8.... 8.1 is coming out soon lol Is your bootloader messed up somehow? Fastboot flashing unlock_critical unlocks the bootloader but I don't know much about it. Let me rephrase it allows the bootloader to be flashed over.
Yea I'd try:fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Is it possible to switch to the bootloader_b slot and reboot-bootloader... possibly flash the b slot?

For what I know, you can't flash anything if your bootloader is locked.

I know about 6 months ago in the Nexus 6p forum, someone created a zip that could be flashed in recovery to toggle bootloader unlock in developer settings. It might be worth looking for to see if there's some sort of adb shell script that you could possibly use to toggle that switch. So you didn't boot after flashing factory image before locking? Also be sure to be using the most up to date adb and fastboot tools as that can cause issue too. IDK, I wish you luck!

If I could flash something in recovery mode I could flash the stock rom with "adb sideload file.zip", so I would not need unlock bootoader.
And yeah, I didn't boot after locking oem again :/

Actually that's not true. You can flash factory ota updates on a locked bootlader from stock recovery, idk about twrp though.

I wasn't referring to flashing that zip file, but looking inside to see if it's an adb shell script, you have a booting phone with a working bootloader, the recovery is compromised. There has to be a way to get your phone fixed. Only when it's totally dead do you give up hope
Well, while we are grasping at straws, make sure your fastboot is the very latest version. The version I use is marked as
~$ fastboot --version
fastboot version -4022467
I would also give the November image a try.
Crap I bricked mine too! Was on rooted Stock with twrp. Did factory reset (to unroot), then relock bootloader (all done with Skipsoft Toolkit). Thought I'd be in the clear, but now it's just bootlooping a half second Google logo and then black. I can get into the bootloader but nothing else works, not recovery, nothing. Can't flash anything since bootloader is locked now. Tried adb commands like fastboot continue but nothing works... Any updates or ideas on this!?? Device is bricked! I bought mine new on Craigslist so may have some trouble with RMA.... Yikes!
Please let this be a lesson to people to stop locking their bootloader's, or know what the heck they are doing before they do. I'm tired of reading about this across all forums. Whoever is explaining the steps to unlock the bootloader, need to give explicit knowledge on what to do and not do. I honestly wish I could be of more help, but it's a pain to get sorted on devices with regular partitions, so on this device I have no clue. It would be great if you could somehow force it to boot using the alternate slot
To OP, it looks like you're using slot A. Can you try switching to slot B and thing to boot?

Re-lock bootloader moto G5 plus Brazilian variant

With the help of @Nirbhay2 I managed to block my bootloader, however what I wanted to share here is that to block the bootloader of the Brazilian variant it is necessary the last ROM with january security patch POTTER_NPNS25.137-92-4. Here you will find the guide to block your Brazilian device.
Have minimal ADB
Have Motorola drivers installed on your PC
Have the january patch ROM stock: https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Extract the ROM to any folder and paste the minimal ADB along with the extracted ROM.
Open a command prompt in the folder and with the device in fastboot mode make a flash of the entire ROM stock on your device, to facilitate copying all the commands at once and paste at the command prompt and it will install automatic to your ROM , then do the same with the commands to re-block the bootloader and at the end of this process your device will be started with bootloader locked.
Commands to re-lock bootloader, do this after the full ROM flash
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
Command link for flash ROM stock

friend, you need to use this ROM that I made available on the link, if you have a moto G5 plus brazilian you can get the lock, but use this link ROM.

I tried the same thing.
I had TWRP and SuperSu on my phone a few days back. But weirdly, I lost network connectivity and after a botched attempt at installing V4A, the audio died as well. Even the camera and the flash had stopped working. More weirdly, the Root Checker app I had now showed me that root access was not properly installed.
SInce my phone was on the November patch (25-137-92), I found the stock ROM of it online and flashed it with the Moto G5 Plus ToolKit.
Now all the issues I've had are fixed. Everything works perfectly. TWRP has been removed along with SuperSu.
But the bootloader still shows me that software status is modified. The warning on boot-up which tells that the device has been unlocked is still there.
I don't know if it's related but I've got WiFi speed issues now, apps won't download quickly or is it my damn internet?
The bootloader IS locked, though. That I can say confidently because the bootloader unlock option in developer options is now not selected.

Moto Z2 Force Xt1789-5 damage emmc, No bootloder I can't install the TWRP

Good evening everyone, I introduce myself my name is Eduardo de Mexíco, I want to contribute to help people who have problems with the Moto Z2 Force.
I have the Model XT1789-5, first unlock the bootloader with Motorola and upgrade to Android Pie.
Now I don't have IME, baseband and WIfi.
I have read a lot in this forum, but I cannot find the correct repair.
That's why I put this thread in order to give a repair to my cell phone.
Attach the "flash" with minimal ADB and fastbool tool.
Is the emmc damaged?
The blanck flash appears "waiting for devices" I have installed Motorola and Qualcomm drivers.
I can't change firmware.
Can you help me, please?

I can't install the TWRP
I currently have the OPXS version 27.109-34-21 With this firmware it worked fine, but not now.
Beforehand
Thank you!!
You flashed pie, you can't go back to oreo, so you have to flash pie again. Since you have no baseband or imei, you must have flashed the wrong variant. Who is your provider, what was your software channel originally? What is the package name of the OREO firmware that worked for you in the past. This information will help determine what you need to flash in order to repair. Why is everyone obsessed with locking the bootloader? When you lock your bootloader, you dramatically reduce the options and tools available to fix your phone when things go wrong.

I have IME, Baseband, all normal.
I got an update to PIE is the collection no. PPX29-159-23
I DIDN'T download it.
If I can download it?

If everything is working normally, and you received an ota notification to update, then you should be able to update just fine. If it's some random firmware you came across, I wouldn't.
Pie
Hi good day.
I can't update Android Pie.
Tells me
Incorrect software update
My channel is OPMX.
The phone is company free
What I did was install the NASH RETAIL OPXS27 109 34 21 Firmware, this is what I had.
Then by fastboot install the NASH RETAIL PPX29 159 23 update.
But it is not updated, what can I do.
Recover the IMEI baseband and the phone works well.

So just to confirm, everything is working on Retail pie right now yes?
Originally, you were on OpenMX firmware, and your software channel was/and is still OPMX yes?
Can you take a screenshot of the update being offered? OpenMX doesn't have pie yet, so if that is the update being offered then it will fail because you're on Retail firmware. So If you want to go back to OpenMX then we need to do a few things and it has to be a pie update being offered. Otherwise, you can update using any new Retail releases. Not Retin, Rebr, etc. Just plain Retail and you have the latest right now.
Pie
Hello
Thanks for your prompt response
It is currently in the openmix channel.
Before I was on the openmix channel the same.
The firmware was RETAIL.
So it was before the bootloader and flash unlock.
Now he is working fine without problems with
Openmix
NASH RETAIL Opxs27 109 34 21
I attach images
Can you help me please upgrade to Pie.

Do I install this version?
NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Hold on, we need to check a couple of things because I'm confused.
In your OP you mentioned pie upgrade, did you ever upgrade to pie at all? The reason I ask is because in your photo you're running oreo, which would leave you without a baseband if you upgraded to pie modems.
Long story short, if everything is working (mobile data, wifi, bluetooth) etc. Then you should enable oem unlocking and adb debugging and unlock your bootloader again if you haven't already. An unlocked bootloader won't stop otas, it just gives you more options to flash and fix your phone, plus if you want twrp and/or root you'll need to be unlocked.
This is the firmware you flashed to get oreo running on your phone currently right? NASH_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Option A - If you flashed that Retail firmware and all is well. I would flash this firmware to upgrade to pie. You won't be able to take otas since your channel is OPMX, but you will have pie without any bloat.
Option B - As of now, there is no OpenMX pie firmware on lolinet, but it looks like that's the update being offered since you have OPMX as your software channel and from the photo you posted. So if you want proper OpenMX and the ability to take otas, you'll need to flash back to an OpenMX firmware then take your ota.
I would unlock your bootloader before anything, that way if anything goes wrong you have options. Don't flash any pie firmware until you know what you need. If you are unsure, ask questions. Pie isn't the friendliest firmware to flash and will cause problems if you flash the wrong variant.
Command
Good night 41rw4lk
The problem I think are the commands
First
I had this firmware NASH_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml OK installed.
What I did was unlock the bootloader, with the steps of a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXxr-Y1ozSY
Then I updated Pie with this firmware Moto/nash/official/RETAIL/NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
It did not work. Back to the firmware of OREO OPXS27 109 34 21, this is where I no longer had the bace band NO IME no Wifi etc.
I was researching for a week ... but nothing worked. The OEM key did not respond, now it responds. I had the pleasure and miracle of meeting you and you tell me:
Go back to the firmware you had.
I do it and then upgrade to PIE PPX29 159 23 and it doesn't work.
Then I turn on the cell phone with OREO OPXS27 109 34 21 and IF the IMEI works the baseband and the Wifi.
Through OTA I get the update message, which is not installed.
Errors The commands I use to flash the firmware.
Now I am watching a YouTube video where they explain how to use the correct commands for each Firmware. What do you think?
The bad thing is that it is in Spanish

What are the correct commands to update the firmware?
I will not flash until I agree with you.
Regards!!
I feel like we're going around in circles lol.
Does your phone work correctly right now? Does it have mobile signal and data, wifi, bluetooth etc?
If it does, what is the full name of the firmware you used to put it in working order?

Hi good day
That's how the phone is working well; It has Wifi signal, IME, base band works 100%.
The firmware I am with now is:
NASH_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
To flash, subject to your opinion I have this procedure:
Phone
Activate Android programmer
Activate OEM
Enable USB debugging
Activate flash mode Moto Z2 (volume - and power button)
Computer:
ADB minimal tool v1.43
In the adb folder install the fimware and extract rar files.
NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
In the cmd window write
flashboot deivices
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot bluetooth flash BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot reboot
As time?
How about?
Regards!!
This is your current firmware right? NASH_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
But when you flash NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip you lose baseband and imei?
If your bootloader isn't unlocked, I would unlock it so that you have some wiggle room if something goes wrong. With a locked bootloader you can only flash official signed, same version or higher, and that's not guaranteed.
As far as your flashing commands, it is best to use the preparation.bat from this thread to generate your own flashall for the firmware you have. Since we have different variants if you're not careful a flashall that you pickup around here might not flash everything you need to flash. So generate your own to be certain.
