Try fastbooting an opensemc kernel just flashing will not fix. You must fastboot. But Rayman made some fixes in his as people were having problems - http://db.tt/LHNtaSay

First try to flash the CWM or TWRP recovery via fastboot. Then reboot into recovery and try to flash your ROM.
unfortunately thats not work

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 !

Download stock ROM and install it via Flashtool.

HI guys
Im following DT674 guide to flash cm9 on my xperia play but running into a problem the error message im getting while trying to flash cm9 is "E:Error in /sdcard.cm-9-20130120-nightly-zeusc.zip (status 7) installation aborted". i having no problems flashing files Keiran & Atariis CDMA Fix Zip and Gapps Zip file. but
When your flashing CM9 you have to be on the R800x 2.3.4 stock firmware. Then flash the CM9 kernel reboot and get into recovery and flash the Cm9 zip folder.
respond to chery2k
Hi thanks for replying
My ohone is in verizons 2.3.4 stock firmware when I'm trying to flash the cm9.zip file. Per dt674 instructions I extractef the image file.that's in the cm9 fie and flasged it to the phone prior to flashing the cm9 file so I'm.asuming that's the kernal for cm9. Can you please verify.
reply
was also wondering If I can use the flash tool to flash the. Img files or the kernal insted of using the comand prompt.
On flashtool go to fastboot mode and choose the option "select kernel to flash" and find the kernel you extracted from the cm9 zip.

I think you have to flash the stock firmware using the flash tool. and start over. my experience with my xplay is. after i load the cm9 kernel my phone does not boot at all so i have to put the phone into fastboot and start the CWM to restore the backup i made for the stock firmware. however this does not help me as well the phone does not boot. so i use the falsh tool and reflash the stock verizon 2.3.4 ftf file in order to start the phone.
Im gona try the Lupus cm9 kernel and see if i can install CM9
hey,
recently i've tried to install rom based on ios 4.4, unsuccessfully.
the problem i had is that my recovery (aka twrp 2.6.3.0 and then 2.7, and then some rubbish cwm, ) failed to install anything beyong ios 4.3.
so... what version of recover do i need for 4.4? wha t do i need to do to install cyanogenmod 11?
thanks.
please elaborate what error are you getting ?
with twrp im getting 'failed to install' , and with cwn 'cant mount sdcard' .
I'm guessing that BL is unlocked.
Fastboot boot.IMG from the cyanogen mod zip.
At phone boot enter recovery and flash the cm zip from recovery (after flashes)

Hi, would anyone with enough knowledge on this phone guide me as to what is wrong?
I have a xperia s which I have unlocked bootloader and flashed various custom ROMs from android 2.x all the way to android jelly bean 4.2.2
I always wipe all available partitions except for the internal sdcard before flashing any ROMs.
For some reason, I have tried to flash kitkat ROMs for this phone with different versions of TWRP, 2.6.3.0 up to 2.7.1.0 but it keeps failing with the same error:
set_metadata_recursive some changes failed
Error executing updater binary in .zip
I have tried to flash carbon rom, paranoidandroid ROMs which are all based on kitkat 4.4.4 and both fail with the same error, I do not want to reflash back a old ROM based on jelly bean I just want to bring this phone up to the latest version of android but this problem still persists no matter how many times I try.
Appreciate any help.

"Error executing updater binary in .zip" error occurs when the zip You are flashing does not have compatible script for that version of the cwm/twrp.
Do one thing, extract the boot.img from the rom which You want to flash on the pc.
Copy the rom.zip to the phone.
Then flash the boot.img using fastboot via pc.
Then flash the rom using twrp via phone which would be installed on the phone.

Seniors Pls help!
I was on stock ROM till now and one fine day my Note 2 suddenly switched off and since then its in bootloop. I tried everything(almost), flashing the latest firmware from sammobile, rooting, custom ROMs...nothing is working! The custom ROM and Bootloader installs using odin end with 'SW REV. Invalid magic string' or 'SW REV. check fail'.
Please suggest and point in the right direction.

ok i try but i have already tried with CWM and didn't work and also i have tried flash 4.3 with .pit file to perform a repartition but nothing...
Do this flash latest twrp or philz recovery wipe everything flash phantom only and reboot recovery than wipe cache and dalvik cache flash rom again only now reboot to system , if it doesn't work than try older version of twrp or philz supporting 4.3
