Hi all, my GFs Xperia Arc have some kind of boot problem.
Battery is 50% charged, the phone boot normal, but when screenlock comes, he weirdly shutdown screen and reboot.
Phone is stock rom, stock kernel, unrooted, unlocked BL.
Dose someone have some advices.
Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) or Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x)?
Also post, which build are you using, found from Settings -> About Phone, should be the last one.

Okay, this makes it even more strange.
Currently, I can only think of one solution: Download Flashtool, download a stock firmware package (aka .FTF file). As you are using Android ICS 4.0.4, then you might want to search for 4.1.B.0.587 or 4.1.B.0.431 build versions.
Checked my files, I found a 4.1.B.0.431 for Xperia Arc, LT15i: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pzr6phfd19xgbva/LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.7z
You will need 7-Zip to extract the FTF from that. Afterwards, install Flashtool, then look into Flashtool folder (by default C:\Flashtool), install drivers (Flashmode drivers). Further on, open up Flashtool, click the lightning button, Flashmode, browse to the FTF file, then make sure to untick "Wipe data", "Wipe cache", "Wipe apps log". By that, you will keep your personal data in your phone and they won't get lost.
If you have any questions, just ask. Once you are finished, let me know of the results.
Downloading right now, will try.
I will let you know.
Thank you, works like a charm.
Glad that I could help.

Hi,
I'm having some trouble using flashtool with my Xperia Arc. (flashtool 0.6.9.1)
Flashing a .ftf file normally takes, what, 5minutes? last time it took flashtool 4,5 hours to flash Generic ICS.
Any ideas on why this is? I'm currently flashing .42 GB back to go back to custom ICS roms, and it's now been 1h30minutes and it's on 7%..
I already turned my antivirus software off, I read somewhere that would help but it doesn't..
Thanks in advance
your not the only one flashed ics on to my arc and it took 3 and a half hours , it finished 1 in the morning the wife was not happy.
Hahaha. Any idea why thoug? It allways worked fine.
not a clue thought it was just me that was having the problem glad iam not in a way though
I'm going to try an older version of flashtool to see if that's the problem. only thing i can think of..
let me know how it goes
Why do you need to go back to GB just to flash ICS ROMs? There's no need. And update to the latest version of Flashtool i.e. v0.8.6.0
But in case you do need to flash back to GB, you would need v.0.6.8
Cheers!

Yeah I'm just using the way I know how to do it. I'm halfway back to GB now anyway, so I'm just gonna stick with that way .
I'm going to try using these different versions of flashtool though, hope it works a bit faster
@Cokey: Older version just gave me error and aborted flashing. I'm now trying another PC, as i've read in other threads this might avoid that problem.
LOL! It looks like that's going to keep you busy for a while.
But when you decide to go back to ICS, make sure you use the latest version of Flashtool and make sure to tick/check the No Final Verification box.
haha yea i know.. you think you know what you're doing, then you get cocky and it doesn't work I'm hoping it works with 0.6.8, so i can at least use my phone. it wont boot atm.
Thanks for your help btw! I'm clicking your button
EDIT: @Cokey: Use 0.6.8, it works as normal im flashing this fw in 5minutes

If you haven't wiped before, then you can try this to wipe and reinstall. Basically it's should be the same.

It's seems the same, with couple of extra apps that can be removed. Many apps can be disabled without root.

I see, but did you have the redraw issue with the CH ICS? If going to the SG ICS will eliminate that issue, I'm definitely up for going though the wipe/formatting process again.

Yes, few times I experienced re-draws, but so far I've not experienced it in this firmware. But I don't think there is any difference in the firmware itself.
Previously I flashed the CH without wipe and experienced lot of issues, then I flashed with wipe and the issues reduced, now I've flashed this firmware the official way (went back to my own GB and then upgraded using the PC Companion).
Good luck .
can power saving and neo reader app be removed in this SG Generic ICS rom without root? I am on CH ICS version now and these are the two stock apps that i wouldn't be able to remove. tks!
I experience some lagging from CH and HK even with full wipe specially phone and Go sms. I will try SG next and hope I don't have this problem otherwise ICS is great.
I don't have lag issue with the CH version. Redraw is rare, maybe you should state if you have lots of widget or resized widget so that we can narrow down the problem.
I have few widget, none of them resized, I don't have redraw issue. I say rare previously because that time I was trying other launcher. That is the time I got it.

Nope. I believe they can be disabled, but I haven't try yet.
I wonder if any of the issues so far is caused by having an unlocked bootloader.

I was thinking that since Sony, by MHO did a pretty decent job with the latest ICS update .587 for our devices (nothing new yes, but much faster compared to .431), it'd be great if someone with the know-how, would take latest stock ROM, root it, supercharged it and removed bloatware.
I managed to root it using 4.0.3. method (flash-root-flash) and also removed bloatware (using this post as a reference) and baby flies. Supercharging it would squeeze even more out of our devices.
Also, it'd be great if someone could take newest .587 kernel, integrated CWM and governors, maybe unlock CPU. Currently I'm actually running latest stock on ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with ArcKnight libs and it works great, although I have a feeling that performance is slightly better on a stock .587 kernel.
I'd be willing to donate few bucks to the one who does it, who else is with me?
yep I would be willing to do that as I am sick of waiting for standard release on my ARC
also very simple idiot proof instructions on how to install it
.587 is incompatibile with V6 Supercharge.
i have this update on my arc s i could root it with the 4.0.3 method and i already have installed the CWM with the xparts apk found on google play i just need the full system dump to begin the modifications

Hallo, yesterday i supercharged my phone xperia arc with latest ICS update .587,
i used v6 supercharger (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update 11)
i had busy box v1.8.4, while supercharging it asked me about services.jar and services.odex, and it said to me that i had an old one (cause i did supercharged my phone when it was on .487 too) and i pressed to use the old services ... when the supercharge ended and my phone restarted it took like 10 minutes and i saw it was keep restarting and restarting, i re-entered my battery near 30 times and re - opened it but still the same, i tried to hard reset, with all the ways i could and nothing happened, and now my phone doesnt open at all, only restarts and restarts..
Any idea how i can fix this?

I need a big help on the following issue.
A few hours ago I flashed my Xperia Arc S from Jelly Sandwich 4.1 to 7.0
Did the full wipe cache thing etc.
Have chosen in Aroma the Xperia T stuff and as thema Xperia Stock
Everything went ok, so I continued installing my backupped apps. Sofar I had no problems.
After I installed everything I needed, I wanted to change my background, so I pushed on the upper left on top of a screen
and I have chosen for Xperia Background Gallery (100 backgrounds)
When I selected a nice background, the phone was going in a black screen and it was not possible to do anything with my phone.
Suddenly my phone tried to start up again, but that went wrong.
The only thing happens is that my ArcKnight kernel is trying to boot, I see the screen ArcKnight for a second of 10 and it fades away.
It's not possible to go in CWM cause the home button doesn"t flash. I tried to remove the battery, but that doesn"t help.
It is also not possible to turn off the phone. The on/off button doesn't work either.
My Phone is an Arc S
ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with WiFi modules
Baseband 77
Jelly Sandwich 7.0
Android 4.1.1
Cause it's my first post I had to place the question in this section
I hope someone can help me getting my phone in the air again.

Yeah something has gone wrong, probably related to the kernel (not sure because my bootloader's locked). You'll have to flash a rootable stock rom, flash it, install cwm, and install JS 7 again. Maybe something wasn't installed correctly previously =/

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky
here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?
Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.
Thanks for the continued response.

and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)

Ah ha... sounds like you have the same problem as me!
Did you manage to get any JB ROM working? If so, which one, just so I can try that also...
Does anyone else have an idea on how to update the touch screen firmware?
Really appreciate the feedback, thank you one and all!!

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.

But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:
However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.
Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.
Ricky :good:

I have the same issue over here with a colleagues LT18i
I have same problem, touch screen doesn't work on many different kernels... only work on stock kernel
