[Q] Xperia arc - stuck in Boot Loop issue - Please Help

Hey Guyz,
i unlocked by bootloader using fast boot method
then i rooted my phone using the same method and it was working fine.
Yesterday i installed CW rom and CWM autoinstaller , to reboot in recovery and installed a mod to bring reboot in Power Off menu options.. it intalled correctly.
But when i rebooted the phone, the sony ericcson logo appears again and again.. i.e it is stuck in boot loop.. m still able to enter in recovery but unable to boot my phone properly..
Please Help...
The First solution is to flash a stock firmware using flashtool.
But which Kernel and which Rom have you tried to flash?

k.. i'l try to flash 4.0.a.283 using fastboot..
BTW
I am noob.. Dont know anything about anything about kernel.. all i did was install Clock work rom.. When i opened it, it said, "you need to install CWM". So i installled CWM autoinstaller...
Now with everything installed, i booted into recovery and installed a mod ( which brings the option to reboot in Power Off menu). It installed correctly... Then i clicked on reboot system now.. That is when i realized that m stuck in boot loop..

You must first check the compatibilty of "reboot mod" with the firmware version you use.
Just check the firmware you have in your phone and make sure it matches with the firmware on which the mod is based.
@wayne
I have flashed my phone using fastboot method just like i did it when i was rooting my phone. And Thank GOD it is working fine now..
@KingWecked,
M still trying to figure out, where did i go wrong at the first place...
was it the CWM auto installer ??
or was it the Reboot mod ?? coz i downloaded the mod for xperia arc only..
Do we need to change that kernel thing after rooting ??
I don't know what the hell is a kernel; and after rooting i haven't done anything with my kernel. Should i ???
A kernel is the base of what Android runs

Before you install any mod,you must first check the firmware version you are using.You can find it out from Settings-->About Phone-->Build Number.
It contains the firmware version on which your phone is running Ex:4.0.a.283
.283 is the old version firmware and most of the mods dont work on this firmware.You must flash the latest firmware .42 in order to support the majority of the mods and themes available in this forum
And a kernel is very complicated thing.you must not mess with it unless you know what you are doing.Manipulating your kernel might brick your phone permanently.And if you want to know much further about kernels then search the forum and you must find loads of threads explaining about kernels and stuff related with it
@ KingWickedd
are u sure .283 is an old firmware
Coz initially i had "unrooted .62"
For rooting purpose i downloaded this firmware..
So can U please tell me where can i get " rooted 0.42 firmware" where i can start installing all mods right away..
Note: Multiupload links are not working ... Any other links ????

Yes I am sure its the old version where as .42/.62/.69 are the latest firmware versions.They have almost everything in common and they differ based on the regions they are released in.
For rooted .42 firmware..follow this link below..

see this
You need to follow the Instruction properly.
If it ask you to flash via CWM, then download CWM and put it into your SD directly.
Then goto Recovery mode and select update from SD then select CWM zip file to enter CWM.
Good luck.

NB: please always flash your ROM with Clock Word Mode (CWM) it will minimize your risk of brick you phone

nope...cwm won't minimize the risk. in fact, stock recovery is a lot safer than any 3rd party recovery.

there's several advantages of using cwm
1. more recovery option.
2. no need to sign the zip file
3. more installation capability. we can't install kernel via stock recovery.

The CWM you flashed is a temporary one.
When you restart the phone into recovery, it goes into the original Samsung recovery, right? If so, then just re-flash the CWM. You'll need to do this every time to go into CWM.

yeah i'm know that, but when im enter CWM not loaded, what version do you use ? give me please
I use the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
(that thread says version 6.0.2.8, but when I run it it says 6.0.4.5)
I do not understand what you mean by "when im enter CWM not loaded". You need to flash the zip every time you want to run CWM, like you did the first time - somebody should correct me if I'm wrong.

okay i'll try it later
thanks for try to help , problem is when im get in to samsung recovery and flash temporary CWM recovery, it won't loaded, just black screen and then my phone restart.
what ROM do you use ?
when I was in stock MF1 I installed 6.0.2.8 (Shaaan thread, TY BTW) and it was temporary.
Then I flashed CM10.2 which installed me a new version of CWM (6.0.4.6) which is now persistent.
Can you develop a little bit more about your software configuration please ? ROM ? kernel ?
I have a similar problem. After i flashed cm 10.1 recovery dissapeared. I don't have cwm neither stock recovery. Any way to flash it via odin?

flash cm10.1/gapps
try again see if recovery is there :/
i know this solution but i can't do the same thing every time i loose cwm because it worked before. Thats why i asked if it is possible to flash only cwm

I think You will have to revert to stock for that and then root and install cwm. Here is the link to stock ftf, Select which ever suitable. I don't know which root works on Your device, so do check the thread for it. Then install the cwm.

Well, You can try this app. It is an app to manage ROM and CWM, and hopefully will install CWM on Your phone.

Be specific.
What rom you want to install
What recovery you use (means version).
