Hey.
Just rooted an Arc S via Eroot, installed Rom manager and CWM and booted into recovery via Rom manager.
I then wiped everything (data/cache/dalvik) and installed SuperJellyBean Rom + Arc S Update + Gapps. I then wanted to reboot the phone, but I'm stuck at the bootscreen.
I googled and searched the forums, but I have no luck. No Key combination would work (Menu + Power gets that little light flashig blue briefly, but that's all) I'm always stuck with the "Sony Ericsson" boot logo.
Can anyone help? :crying:
Did you flash the correct kernel for SJB?

Bootloader was obviously still locked :angel:I unlocked it via Fastboot, and also flashed a new kernel (Fusion 5.4) that has CWM included.
Now I'm stuck with the Fusion boot logo :victory: Any more ideas what to do?
Is there anyway of flashing a *.zip rom via USB (Flash mode = Back button + Cable)?
EDIT: Finally solved it, though i admittedly don't really know how. Just wanted to plug the phone back into the USB in fastboot mode (menu button + cable) and suddenly i was in the CWM. I re-flashed the Rom, Patch, and gapps and everything works perfectly now.

I was running PACrom perfectly fine, I made a TWRP backup. I was trying to install AOKP 4.2.2 (which appeared to be successfully installed) and now my phone is bootlooping at the "Sony Turbo" logo, or it hangs there. I can't seem to reboot in to TWRP recovery either (power + VOL up at blue led). I tried reflashing the kernel in using fastboot tool but still the same result. Can't figure out what's wrong :/
Have unlocked BL w/o fastboot menu.
EDIT1: I also tried flashing the stock FTF for the R800a (4.0.2.A.0.42), and it's still stuck at the exact same screen (Sony Turbo logo). Which leads me to believe that it did not even flash the stock kernel.
EDIT2: Alright, nothing was working. So I decided to use the Sony PC Companion to "repair" my device. It's working now booting in to the OS (2.3.4), so I'm gonna try reflashing Turbo Kernel 3.1 and see if I still can't boot in to recovery.
EDIT3: Reflashed Turbo Kernel 3.1 successfully using FTF and Flashtool and am back on PACrom

EDIT 1.. if you try AOKP Once.. you wont go back to any other JB ROM again.. Its just amazing.
Hello,
so today I've successfully unlocked my BL and wanted to install cm11.
I've downloaded appropriate files, succesfully flashed the boot.img via fastboot. But when I tried rebooting to cwm (while holding vol up button), after Sony logo I only get black screen.
There's no way for booting anything.
I don't want to reflash stock firmware again... what's the matter? Why can't I boot into CWM and install cyanogenmod?
Just to be clear: not only does the cwm not boot, neither does the system.
Jesus christ. Never mind. I got a brain-fart and didn't follow proper instructions. Happens even with the best
Which phone did you have

Hi guys,
friend gave me his Arc S to tweak it and I have troubles installing custom recovery, or boot it in it.
I have rooted phone successfully and then I went to install CWM with x-parts. App said recovery was installed but I can not boot in the recovery. It just reboots the phone.
Tried pressing volume down, back buttons but nothing.
Phone ICS on it.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Hi,
I had the same problem with x-parts..i found a recovery in x-parts [email protected] that can be installed from windows command line,it worked for me.Sorry,i can't remember the link i cannot post that.
Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
Hi all,
I have been trying to flash a custom ROM on my Z1C, but I can't even get to any recovery screen. My power button does not work so I can't use the Power + Volume combo to get to recovery. I can get into both Fastboot and Flashmode. I have tried multiple different versions of TWRP but when I try to boot, the phone gets stuck on either the Sony logo, or on a blank screen. I have tried using both fastboot boot twrp.img, and flashing the image, both with the same results. From Flashmode, I can restore the original firmware with Emma and the device works perfectly. Any advice on how I can boot into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You can download an app from the playstore where you can boot into recovery. Or use developer settings and advanced reboot.
