Hi all!
searching for recovery for my arc S I installed rom manager. sliding devices searching for SE arc S started installation for samung or something.
now rom manager says 'im on cwm 4.0.1.5 but it isnt for arc!
Ive no rebooted in recovery to not brick my phone but now i need some help to solve this problem...
please...
EDIT: can i use this pack from here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299729 to flash recovery? its for "Arc"

Please help me...

I think that rom manager still have no support for xperia arc,and you cannot flash recovery that way.
You need to unlock your bootloader first,then to follow tutorial from your link.
if you need more help,just ask

thanks Chobby

It's never easy to really brick an arc than a galaxy tablet, had the mainboard replaced. flashtool really a very good tool to revive an arc.

Calm down then try this 1 by 1

Hi, Janto
For me, just flashing a custom rom it can't block u getting into cwm. It may stuck with the Kernel's logo/bootAnimation but should passes the CWM notification first.
If you could provide info(Name & version) of your kernel & rom, it would be better for us to help you bring your expensive device back to life:fingers-crossed:
My suggestion is:
1. Use Fastboot to flash a good kernel (Anyone from the development section), then CWM, thought you know how to do a flash again
2. If above step not works, download flashtool (The top thread in the development section) and a complete tft files, then do a flash using the flashtool, this should give you a brand new phone.
BTW: you r BL or not? search for X-parts if u r still locked.

[Q] Please Help

Hi ...
I have Xperia arc s (LT18i) I have rooted it and downloaded rom on it (Xperia Ultimate HD™ 2.0)
and every thing worked perfectly ...
then I installed Font Changer to change system font ..
I tried few fonts .. but when I tried one of them (it always ask to reboot) the phone got stuck at xperia logo ...
I tried few solutions (reinstalling the ROM, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats, Wipe data/factory reset)
and every time I reboot nothing change ..
then I tried to do these things (format /system, format/data, format cache) and then reboot ...
the phone got stuck on sony logo and been unable to run CMW ...
so if any one have a solution I will be so thankful ...

flash stock rom, root, install cwm and install xperia ultimate hd.
Don't install Font Changer

download rootable lt18 stock ics and then flash this to your arc s. Here is a tutorial on how to flash with the program 'Flashtool'. After, root phone with this. And then install Ultimate HD

Yes you can use that, but you must flash this kernel after you flash that stock firmware to root.

The download link is fixed

Link to all official firmwares: http://forum.android.com.pl/f308/oprogramowanie-dla-sony-ericsson-xperiaa-arc-s-147007/
By the way, you can not root .587 you have to download .562 or like mentioned before just flash 562 kernel, root and then flash back to 587 kernel. But I think easier should be to download .562 firmware and then just root.

The easiest method is with an unlocked boot loader, install 587, flash CWM'd Kernel, flash Root.zip, done.

but after restarting the device after the flash, it vibrates once and then does nothing. I don't even see the SONY logo. The screen doesn't light up at all.
I was able to fix this by flashing the stock ROM from flashtool.
But did I do something wrong? Is there anyway which I can get the ROM working?

did it say flash successful?

Have you unlocked your bootloader first? If you have then try flashing the kernel from the rom seperately using fastboot. By the way are any other roms with custom kernels working or are they all giving same errors? By the way did you face any error while flashing?

What do you mean the phone came with unlocked bootloader. Are you sure you bought a new phone? Tell me whats your Bootloader Unlocked Status.

Can you describe how exactly is it "Dead'? Is it not booting or even responding to hard reset (Pressing Vol Up + Power Buttons for 10-15 secs)? Are you able to get fastboot or adb access to your phone?

Hi, I am New to Xda.
Hi,
I am not a dev. But Love towards my Xperia SL made me a mini-dev LOL. I have succesfully fixed a developing ROM from Carbon(kitkat 4.4.4) . I would like to upload it to Xda and help poor teens like me (I am just 15) still stuck with SL. I renamed my ROM as ASTERISK. Can someone tell me how to upload a new rom to Xda.
Thanks in advance,
Fazeel CF

Xperia S and SL are same hardware, so what ever works on Xperia S works on Xperia SL, and given that there is Nougat ROM available, I wouldn't say that it is stuck. You should ask the developer of the Carbon ROM if You can upload a modified one.
