[Q] Arc Not Booting :( [RESOLVED]

OK, I Know I did a very stupid thing but I flashed the Nordik Version of the Official ICS Rom for Arc S on My Arc.
Now The problem is when it was flashing, the flash stopped at a certain point. Here is the message
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Flashing userdata.sin
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
14/002/2012 20:02:24 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

But then After I Rebooted, It showed the sony logo for a second and then some logo of the mobile with a caution symbol (Yellow Exclamatory Mark). And thats it, after a couple of seconds, it switched off.
I repeated the process and the same thing.
Scared Then I Flashed a Doom Kernel and did a factory reset. While the factory reset, it said that it could not open \data :|
i tried formating data many times but it could not mount it saying different file system.
So I flashed a matching Custom ROM and It does not work, Nether is any app installing nor any file getting saved
Please Help!
And Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?

If flashtool stopped then try re-downloading the file in case it was corrupt, and try to re-flash. If that's not successful download a stock 2.3.4. ftf and flash that.

FTF Wasnt corrupt :\
Now I Have tried flashing the 2.3.4 Android aswell BB 48
A Very old one which I downloaded around december time to root my Arc.
That doesnt even go past the SE Logo
The Custom ROM atleast booted.
My Guess is that the userdata partition has a different filesystem than the one it can read :\

Think it's to do with flashtool being unable to handle ICS data parameters. Binary has posted some type of workaround till he updates it.

Ok, Will check them out.
Thanks!
In his post?

think so, it's mentioned in the thread.

Nope
It stops while flashing the system.sin file

Anyway to solve the /userdata filesystem problem?

Not yet, apparently. I use cm9 so don't really know, though I think there's a cwm flashable ics stock.

No Use of that

Try connecting in fastboot, and use the erase or format commands, e.g. 'fastboot erase boot' or erase system, in case it's a system partition issue
Then try a kernel and rom.

OK, Apparently the problem was that I was using an old version of the flashtool (0.5.8)
I downloaded the latest 0.6.9.1 and followed the 3 step flasshing process

Hi ,
I have ARC S with unlocked boot loader.
I can install any kernel on the phone via fast boot or by using the flashtool latest version.Right now I have installe dthe lupus kernel V16 and I can boot to the CWM and I hae installed the latest version of Ultimate Xperia HD by jader , I can install and after installation if i reboot the phone is stuck at booting screen only. I have tried various kernels and various roms all are giving the same issue.
I can install the ROM but cannot boot it gets stuck at booting screen. I have formatted the partition's via fastboot and by using the CWM still the issue persists.Please help.

Flash the stock firmware ftf file, then try again, or flash a different kernel.

Hi guys , Please help me as I have tried multiple kernels and roma all of them exhibit same issue,
Booting to CWM using the CWM inbuilt into the kernel takes a long time as well as once a rom is installed via CWM it completes installation and then comes to the boot screen and it sits at the boooting screena and does not get past it.

How are we gonna help if you don't state ROM and kernel and what exactly you did.

I have installed lupus v 16 kernel , with xperia ultimate hd rom and xperia blue rom both are having same issue.I can boot to cwm and install the rom but after you give reboot after the rom installation it just sits at the boot animation screen .
One thing I noticed is that booting to cwm takes almost a minute after turning on the phone , is this normal ?.

[Q] Problem after flashing, phone doesnt fully turn on

Good Evening !
At the begining I'd like to sory for my english. as it's not my first language.
So... Yesterday i've tried to flash a new ICS XDark v0.2 rom in to my xperia play R800i.
I have unlocked a boot loader and rooted my phone aswell.
Installation went well with flashboot, after installation my phone rebooted, and when it tried to turn one it stucked on "sony erricson" screen, for few secs, turned off and on again... and again stuck at the same moment... and same thing over and over again.
Someone on forum said it looks like karnel problem... and sugest to flash it.
So i have read on internet quite a lot about flashing kernels, to try to flash it.
I've downloaded doomkarnel v03.zip, and tried to flash it with flashtool, but it didn't work cause to flash it with flashtool i need ftf file which i cant find to download, so i used a fastboot to flash it, but when i tape command in CMD it says "can not load image"
so again i have started to search on google to fix this problem but nothing worked.
I decidet to flash diffrent rom just to make my phone working again so i've downloaded cyanogen 7 as ftf. file so i could flash it with flash tool...
When i was loading file to flashtool it wanted me to connect phone with pressed "back" button, so a did it.. but after few sec flashtool said "flashing filed"... dont know why...
I dont know what to do... I am trying to fix it 12 h today... and tried 5 yesterday... Please help me, I need my phone working ;/
Maybe there is anyother way to install stock rom back again or any thing to make it works again?
Really need help.
Thank you very much,
Jake.

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?

You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

Try reinstall CWM, or try other recovery

Try pressing back key instead of volume down. This will work.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery

[Q] There is no way to get to recovery mode

So, I got an used Xperia ZL. The person who sold me this said he installed an international firmware, 4.3 and after installing SuperSU I noticed the device is rooted (and bootloader is locked). Now, I want to install a custom ROM but I cannot access Recovery mode! When phone starts there is no LED, pressing volume up does nothing, I installed Quick Boot, clicked restart on recovery but it does nothing. I even tried ADB boot recovery but the phone just restarts normally. What can I do?? I'm going crazy with this phone. Thanks for the help!

Can't Install any Custom ROM Xperia Z5 Premium

I have flashed an stock kernel with Flashtool , then rooted the device with this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/development/e6853-root-unlocked-bootloader-t3255039
I had the Romaum custom rom, but now if I try to flash it, then the phone keeps rebooting every time after the Xperia Logo, also if I restore a Romaur backup same thing happens.
I have the bootloader unlocked and TWRP Bootloader
What am I doing wrong?

Flash Aur-Kernel-V4.0 (make sure to use one for device) or Zach kernel (1_9_4 works very well at the moment, newest ones are a bit unstable, but you can test them for yourself and see, this one works great for me with RomAur 4.2.1) and you should be able to boot...might bootloop a few times at first but let it do its thing....
Stock modified kernel never worked for me with that rom

Is doesn't work with any custom ROM, after the XPeria Logo, screen blackout and red light blinks 4 times before shutting down. :crying:

What rom and kernel, twrp version and superSU version are you trying to use?
When and if you get to the blinking red led...don't force stop the phone, just let it bootloop as many times as it wants, it should load at some point, seen it happened before....

Okay, my fault.
I was using and old version of boot.img and twrp.
