So im not quite fammiliar with xperia devices but im trying to install the latest sjb rom, i dont get the part to flash the kernal before flashing the cwm recovery and the rom. I download fusion kernel v5.5 but i get a .img file, the flashtool wants a.sin file(when i tryto use "select kernal to flash"). I tried to do a full wipe, then flashing sbj trough cwm recovery but it just goes into a bootloop. Flashed 0.537 firmare to get it to normal status again. bootloader is unlocked,atleast it said "bootloader unlocked allowed=yes" in phone info.
1. Did you set Flashtool to fastboot mode?
2. Is the kernel compatible with the ROM?

its this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134257&highlight=recovery
i dont understand step number 2
0.Only for unlocked bootlader
1. Copy super jelly bean and gapps to sd card
2. Flash any jb kernel for neov via fastboot.. i recommend fusion kernel 5.4 (present inside the zip file )
3.[OPTIONAL] flash stock ics .587 ftf excluding kernel and simlock.ta files..
4. boot into recovery
5.Perform Full Wipes
ie :
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
in mounts and storage , wipe system , data and cache
6.Flash Super Jelly Bean Rom
8.Flash the patch for your respective devices.
7.Flash gapps , Provided in download page
8.Boot
9.Let the rom settle for 15 to 20 minutes
10.Reboot at least once in 2 days

Well you need to unlock boatloader... Simply having unlock allowed yes won't do... Once you unlock you can flash the required kernel in fastboot...

but why does it want to flash a kernel for neo v? lol a different device. also why would i need to unlock bootloader since i already installed a perfectly working cwm and rooted the phone?

Flash jb kernel for your device only... You need unlocked boatloader to flash custom kernel... Custom kernels are needed to boot non stock roms... With cwm you can flash rom but that doesn't mean it will boot without the corresponding kernel...

Open the window, where you are supposed to choose the kernel file from. At the bottom of that window, look for a small drop-down clickable menu (by default there is *.sin written). Open the menu, choose *.img from the list and then you can flash the kernel.
EDIT: Unlock your bootloader first as well. It must show "bootloader unlocked: yes" in the menu.

Missed that, edited my post. Cheers!
thanks for the answers, but i already gave the device back to my friend, i was forced to install a custom rom based on ics so had no time to unlock bootloader. he needed it for work. i will probably get it again some time and unlock the bootloader. thanks again for your answers and time. I've done alot of rooting different devices but this one has giving me a hard time, maybe coz i didnt search very thoroughly and my lack of time. cheers and have a good day

i just install SJB8.0 on yesterday and found after i reboot device all shortcut in desktop that i move data to SD card disappear
but for shortcut that the data keep in phone no have any problem.
anyone can help me for this problem.
sorry for poor english
If I understand properly, you cant access files/apps that you previously backed up to sd card?
Anyway guys, Im having a really weird problem with SJB 8.0, I downloaded rom, gaps, patch and kernel, then copied everything except kernel to sd card, flashed kernel (and it worked), then I did full wipe but when I tried to flash rom, I got an "installation aborted error (bad)".
The interesting thing is that when I try to extract the rom (AND gapps) on computer, I also get an error for both of the files (the file is damaged/corrupted etc.).
So is there a problem with files (rom and gapps) on dev-host or what? It's wierd cuz patch for arc can be either flashed or extracted on computer.
Please help. :/
EDITED:
Okay problem solved, the gapps and rom files were corrupted so I had to download them couple of times to get it working (tried to extract it first on comp. to check) and then it worked while flashing too, so everything's good now.

Hello, at start I apologize for my poor english, but I hope, that you'll understand what's the matter.
First I prepared to install new rom on my Xperia - I've rooted phone and installed CWM. After that I've launched CWM, then I've erased whole phone's memory - cache, system, data and dalvik. When I want to install rom from .zip file i get info, that file is bad. Next I've tried to launch mass storage mode to copy rom one more time and CWM was unable to open ums lunfile. When I've rebooted phone only thing I saw was Sony logo. Now I'm stucked at it. Phone have locked bootloader, so I can't launch fastboot mode. Adb can't find any connected devices. What can I do now?

Use flashtool and flash a stock ftf.
You must have unlocked your bootloader and hence seus gives that error.

Okay, so here is what you must do :-
1. Download stock ics ftf from here - http://ni.0a0.in/files/3432_kznsa/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG Generic (1257-6921).zip
2. Extract the zip to get the ftf file.
3. Flash it with flashtool
4. Flash this custom kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
5. Then go and check out any custom roms that you like
All (most) custom kernels have CWM in them. As you have unlocked your bootloader, you can flash a custom kernel and get CWM. Also, each time you wipe /system nothing will happen to CWM. CWM remains intact
Good luck!
thanks

CM9.1 ZEUSC For r800x cdma has the kernel &CWM in it!!!! along with the rom !!so read below
Simple fix is stay away from JB roms they are still too new so you are going to run in to many bugs..etc Besides alot of people here treat the 800x like its a red headed step child here.
lucky for you i have bricked my phone many times and brought it back from the grave.
Step 1 is you bootloader unlocked? If yes. it doesnt matter what rom you have on it now. because you can do what you please with it.
Step 2 are you using flash tool? if yes flash Kernels first before flashing a rom
A good rom i recommend is Zeusc CM9.1 still has bugs but it is stable.
download it here Google get.cm then click Zeusc cm 9.1 is the latest stable release. also download Gapps Signed for Ics 4.04 Because you will need to put it on you SD card later along with the CM9.1 zip.
Step 3 download it and extract the boot.img file from it and then put a copy of the zip intact on your SD card. put your phone in USB MODE TO DO SO..
Step 4 open up flash tool . if you dont have it google "flash tool androxide".. it should be on Cnet make sure its the newest version...
Step 5 power your phone off... Go to my computer then C: drive look for flashtool click on drivers and install them for your phone. along with fast boot and flash mode... 3 total boxes to check... once installed move to step six
Step 6 plug you phone in VIA USB CORD while HOLDING THE SEARCH BUTTON . IF YOU DID IT RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE A BLUE LIGHT.
Step 7 look at the logbox of flash tool is should say it detected your phone and display info. Click the LIGHTNING BOLT ICON( Flash Button)
then select fastboot mode.
next click "select Kernel to flash" button then select the boot.img file you extracted from the zip folder. earlier in step 3
if you did it correct it will flash the boot image to you phone along with the CWM recovery to you bootloader. once it says sucessful.
unplug your phone. hold the power button to reboot it when you see the free xperia logo come on hold the volume down button. till it goes in to recovery mode.
step 8 erase your "partitons" and "cache" then select "advanced" clean your "dalvik cache" too. next select install from zip folder then select the zip you want to flash. its the file that says cm9.1 zeusc. the file i told you to put on your SD card.
install it to your phone!!!! after that do not reboot until you flash the google apps zip on you sd card the same way you did the rom..
THEN ONCE YOU INSTALLED BOTH REBOOT YOUR PHONE FROM CWM RECOVERY BY SELECTING REBOOT FROM THE MENU.
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULLY WORKING ROM ON YOUR 800X
dONT FORGET TO THANK ME !!!
hello

Pull the boot.Img from the pac zip and fastboot it. Then install the zip via twrp recovery. Make sure you wipe cache, dvalik, android secure, and data (everything but internal storage)
Then flash.
Then boot up.
Then reboot back to recovery and flash gapps
Then boot up again

now you want to install XZXperince yeah?
try this
1.Backup all your data
2.Flash Stock ICS ROM(6.1.A.2.50) or custom ICS Kernel(Like XSX or Advanced ICS Kernel
3.Go to recovery(If no,try custom ics kernel
4.Wipe Data,Cache ,then Flash XZXperince

Hi all, I also want to try the PAC 4.2.2 Rom, so like a good little noob I've been searching everywhere to find out if I need to open the zip in my pc & fastboot the .img first as I have a different/wrong kernel, I've got cm10 fxp 212 on my xperia s.
So far this is the only place I've seen it mentioned.
Could anybody confirm it please?
& the run command if you know it.
Thanks.

2. Right click and select " Open cmd here" (Win7)
3. Type these commands
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (Wait when its done after few sec)
- fastboot reboot ( or unplug the cable and turn on your phone)
4. Now, boot into CWM to flash Rom
Take notice that you have to install fastboot driver first. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

if you have a CWM Recovery in your kernel(like FXP's CM9 or CM10 kernel)
just copy the zip(you download from the PAC thread) to the internal storage
then boot into CWM, wipe,flash the zip,enjoy
recovery will flash boot.img automatically
if no work, try flash the boot.img manually, like the way on 6# reply
Lilude & Speca, thank you both for a quick reply, btw, your English is perfect.
Wow! So a different kernel can be flashed with the rest of the packet from recovery/cwm without needing a pc, (except for copying to sd card) .
A new bit of knowledge for me!
I'd click your thanks buttons if I knew how, but as you can see I'm new to the forum & still finding my way about.
Noobs of the world unite.
Both ways are fine but better flash separately in such situation. It definitely helps you avoid a broken CWM happening after that such as : can't backup the current Rom, can't mount system as well as can't flash anything, etc.. aside from having to reflash Stock Rom,otherwise the phone gonna get stuck on boot . How terrible !
Make your choice and do not mess up your phone, huh ?
Sent from my Xperia S using Tapatalk 2
If you say flashing the boot.img from my pc first is the safest option then I'll use that method.
I've already messed up several times when I was in stock, without a recovery, luckily EMMA came to the rescue.
Since custom rom cm10 I can't flash updates or anything else without a factory reset, partition & dalvic wipe is never enough.
So taking my time for this rom, download tonight, fingers crossed

Xperia s : fxp 212 nozomi
++++++++++++++++++
OK!
flashed boot.img
wiped everything
fixed permissions
mounted system
flashed PAC
rebooted
went back to recovery
flashed gapps
rebooted.
Works perfectly so far!
also I reinstalled my own apps manually instead of using titanium back up. I read this hint in the PAC v22 thread / dev section.
maybe this is 1 of the reasons I'm not having the odd problem that a few others are experiencing. who knows?
thanx all for helping

Xperia S : PAC v22
Hello,
my friend's xperia arc is stuck on sony logo and can't seem to get it to boot to cwm. Can boot it to fastboot mode and the computer regonizes it.
It got stuck like this after I had rooted the phone, installed cwm, and then unlocked the bootloader. After that I booted to cwm, wiped and tried to flash cm9 rom but it failed. Then I just decided to reboot cwm, but now I can't get there anymore. I have full nandroid backup from stock rom.
So is there something I could try here?
Edit:
Okay I got to boot a cwm after I used fastboot to flash LuPuS-ARC-CM9.img http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878728
So it seems that the recovery is wrong for the device and that's why it won't flash cm9. It "says": assert failed getprop( ro.product.device )
Now I'm restoring the stock rom back from the nandroid backup.
Try flashing the Kernel which is there in cm9 rom zip...boot to recovery... Then install rom...

I think I got a right cwm in and was able to flash cm9 but it got bootloop. So now I just flashed some stock firmware with cwm and restored the backup. Seems fine now, maybe when I have more timm ill get cm rom in it.
Don't wipe /system. Causes error on installing CM and thereby CM is not installed and phone has no OS to boot up.
Also, Xperia Arc phones may require flashing Arc S ICS firmware first to correct the partitions.

Any chance that you could give link to the right kernels? There are so many for this device.
Or are these the right steps that I need to do?
Step-2) Download & Flash Xperia Arc-S 4.0.4_587 ftf pack, just exclude two things
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
http://d-h.st/cyw
After flash power up your phone and let it start completely, now copy rom zip into SD card , and Power off your phone
It will give you 440-MB internal memory and 419-MB System Rom memory
If you already have 419-MB System memory then you can skip this step
3) Download and flash Baseband From Post no 2 as per your device

4) Go into recovery and wipe these things
4.1- wipe factory data
4.2- wipe cache partition
4.3- wipe dalvik cache
4.4- Wipe System ( you can find it in mount & storage option in recovery)
5) Now flash The Main rom after flash Tick unknown source

And yes, those steps are correct.

Hey guys!
First sorry if this is wrong subforum, or there is an anserw for my problem. I spent about 5 hours on trying to do this.
Firstly I'm a noob in this subject.
I want to flash rom X - Gamer or True Smooth. ( are they any good?)
And I flashed generic .62 on my phone (Xperia Arc ) but I don't know what to do next.
I tried doing all those drivers, CWM, kernel things but I'm just lost now.
I can't learn all the things in one day..
Can someone give me links to best versions of things I need and say step by step how to do it? (or link to good toutorial)
Thank you so much for any help guys!

you need first flash kernel, then you must open cwm and set your zip file of rom from your sd card
So I need to paste it on SD card in zip? K.
When I'm trying to flash it in fastboot mode that appears "ERROR - This action can only be done in fastboot mode"
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
You have to place the ROM .zip file on the SDcard.
Depending on the bootloader status, you have to either install custom kernel for CWM Recovery or install one in system partition, latter being more riskier.

Yup I've gott my bootlader unlocked.
So what next after placing .zip file on SD?
"- Copy ROM setup file to SD card
- Enter CWM and choose the setup file
- Follow instruction in AROMA installer, customize the ROM as you like and click Install. NOTICE: in Extra section, unchecked item means you don't like it to install with this ROM, so it will be removed if it's already existed (in case you re-install the ROM)"
These are isntructions, so how do I intall CWM correctly?
Phone is rooted, I've got recoveyx on it and i installed CWM for GB. But I can't acces recovery mode. I spammed back button, volume down, hold it..
Please help..
If you have unlocked bootloader, get custom kernel for GB (LuPuS or DooMKernel), flash it in fastboot mode, get into the recovery, factory reset, wipe /system and then install zip from sdcard and choose the ROM zip.
Having unlocked bootloader and then rooting phone, installing CWM via an app is useless, time-wasting and caused many issues.
Okay I'm lost again.. I flashed Lupus and my phone didn't want to start. Blue led flashed but screen was still black..
now I've got android version 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62) generic.
Bootloader is unlocked (100% sure)
Which kernel should I choose to make this work?
Sorry I'm so nooby in this subject
