Hi
I have an experia ARC s, with doomlord kernerl and CM7.2. I want to update to as it is now a stable RC. However it will not go into flash mode..
If i disconnect and reconnect with back button held and turn the phone on it only goes into fastboot..
Anyone know a way that I can flash a new baseband for the CM9? Essentially I want to:
- flash baseband flashtool
- update kernerl (fastboot)
- fastboot CM9 freexperia..
I have all the files, just cant flash the baseband.. any ideas?
Ty flashing the CM kernel instead and try again.

I solved it through downloading everything again... did a factory reset ... and it would enter flash mode again..
weird..
Hello Guys, i have a huge problem.
I flashed kernel for Mango not for anzu. I mistakened the boot.img file and now my phone is stuck on boot screen.
Tried everything in forums and nothing works for me!
MY phone is rooted (or was, don't know what's now with the phone)
Was bootloader unlocked.
Everything was just fine, but wanted to get another Rom installed and did [Rom][WIP][JB4.2.2][Arc/S/Pro] Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130326, but installed the wrong boot.img
PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Can't get in CWM mode (
* My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode (Entering by powering up and after pink led flash volume up)
In overall :
I got stuck black screen while booting, i guess 2nd boot screen
I get no logos, just black screen.
When adding USB and connecting to PC it shows just Green Led (it's fully charged)
Entering the Fastboot mode or CWM recovery mode (By powering up and after pink led flashes pushing volume up - it gives just a black screen and blue led (fastboot mode, i guess)
What could be the problem?
I've searched for answer about 2 days now, but no progress.
I'm desperate guys, HELP!

I used Stock Rom (4.0.4 - Branding 4.1.B.0.587)
Ideas: Maybe i should reroot again? The only thing I can do, what I know is I can flash .ftf files.
WHAT COULD I DO?

I don't know how to flash in flashmode.
I know that with Flashtools in flashmode I can flash Frameworks i guess (.ftf files).
If there is another way to flash with flashmode, then please enlighten me
I saw that there is Roms in zip and in .ftf files.
I want to have a ROM with .zip, but i'll try with .ftf firstly!
THE ROM I TRIED : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147958
Tried my way, but no changes.
I NEED HELP!
Found a version of what could I do, but is there a posibility that I could make .ftf file from ZIP?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867

Click the first link in my sig, read, watch, learn, repair, done.
stock rom is FTF file. Flash them with flashtool. When you return your phone to complete stock and start over you flash a ftf file. And no you cannot turn a zip into a ftf

I've looked in your post, but didn't seem to understand what I need to get over my problem, please just direct me to right paragraph.
There is too many paragraphs!
How can I Change my Kernel, if I can't get in fastboot mode and in Recovery mode.
Only way I see is by flashmode option in Flashtools software.
BIG THANKS, i clicked THANK YOU!

How Can I close topic?
Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
Any help?
Have you backup ?
Did you install a custom kernel ?

Just try flashing a new kernel, depending on the Android ROM you are using.
I'm unable to flasha new kernel. When i connect the phone to the coputer in fastboot mode it doesnt recognize it. I'm trying to flash the ArcKnight one.
When i plug it in to the computer in fastboot mode (blue light), the computer says USB device not recognized
Did you install the drivers for the device properly? Like, the flash-tool-drivers? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087
Mephistho is right. But if you want to make sure and be safe with it, use sony flashtool to install official fw then you can start your way up from there.

Whatever rom I use my phone just boots straight into cmw recovery. I use the lupus kernal and I can't flash another one because I can't get into usb debugging. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!? Is my phone bricked?
I assume this is solved based on your post in the lupus gb kernel thread

I'm sure most kernels boot straight into Recovery now in the event there is no compatible ROM stored on the device...
Have you tried restoring from a backup?
And wtf? To flash a Kernel you need to boot into FastBoot by holding the 'Search' button when plugging in your phone. You don't need USB Debugging or the luxury of being able to boot into the Android OS.
If that fails, you can simply restore from Firmware in 'Flash Mode'.
FlashTool is your friend.
hello there my names kyle and im new here but you can call me sangy, anyway i have joined the site to post this
i have had my play now for 6 months and i want ics and a new kernel, i heard lupus was the best one so i flashed lupus using fastboot and the correct rom. i have followed all steps correctly and the dam thing just boot loops after 1 min of booting unless i have my usb in my pc at which point the phone will stay on like it should without a single bootloop. so with a potentially bricked phone i flashed the stock firmware back v4.0.2.A.0.58 and re flashed a different kernel and rom still the same issue so i flashed back to stock again. if anyone can tell me how to solve this weird ass issue i will rate you +1 because im getting sick of having no cwm and incompatibilities with apps and i want to overclock
ps im planning on flashing doomkernel v14 hope this problem is gone but i know it will have the same issue.
my phones current state is this
xperia play r800i
stock kernel(2.6.32.9-perf) [email protected]#1
FW 4.0.2.A.0.58
baseband 64
android 2.3.4 ginger bread with root and unlocked boot loader
thats everything i know thanks for reading and helping in advance
edit: sorry if im not been precise but by boot loop i mean hot boot where the phone will run fine for 3 min then freeze and reboot on its own until i pull the battery or plug in usb in pc upon hard reset it even does this in kernel boot up

which lupus kernel, ics+gb v7 or lupus ics beta v12. have you tried flashing through flashtool because it always works for me and which ics rom as their are tons.
hello thanks for the quick reply
ive tryed the lupus ics+gb kernel latest version with the ics beta rom for xperia play and ive also tryed the lupus gb kernel latest version
and yes i have flash tool and all the drivers but a nice reccomendation on what to flash next based on my phones spec at the moment would be nice
also why am i the only person on the internet with this problem? ive heard of having 60+ apps on the sd to cuase hot booting but for me this is just out of the ordinare, particulary when ive whiped all the phone and flashed a new kernel.

With Lupus kernel, use R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79 firmware
will be flashing that stock firmware now over my other one then put lupus gb+ics over the stock kernel
will let you know if it goes well and fixes this
unfortunatly it did not fix it rom loads up, gets to the regular sony setup then freezes and hot boots. did this with lupus kernel ics+gb and the 4.0.A.0.79 firmware you linked me to. its either the kernel or my phone
just tryed doomkernel v14 with your FW kernel still crashes and reboots, is there something i have to do in flashtool because
every kernel ive flashed yet has the same issue.
note i can get a catlog app whilst it is plugged in then unplug it and wait for the crash and send it to you and you can see where its going wrong with the kernel and tell me what to do
thanks for reading these updates and sorry its taking this long to find and fix a big bug :good:

Did you tried any other ics/gb rom? Wipe your system/data from recovery before installing (and by installing i mean install from recovery with "install zip from sdcard")
Ps: maybe its stupid question, but is your sdcard full??? How much free space on it?
what recovery? this is an xperia play they dont have a recovery on stock kernels thats why im flashing one and no my sd card is not full
literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

For Lupus kernel - when powering on, keep pressing volume down for clockworkmod recovery or volume up for TWRP recovery.
Flash ROM from recovery that match kernel. Lupus ICS/GB V7 is for ics/gb roms based on stock (Sony) roms. Read in ROM's thread which kernel is recommended
With flashtool you can only flash .img files and in Xperia Play case, that is ONLY ics beta rom (but almoust all kernels come in .img format - so Flashtool is used to flash kernel). From recovery you can flash every other rom that you can find (just make sure that kernel match rom or else you'll get kernel bootloop)
ok this will be crystal clear
i can flash the kernal but even when booting the kernal and going into recovery to even flash a rom it will freeze and hot boot
meaning i did everything correctly with flashtool to do the kernel and with just the kernel installed (no rom) it still freezes and hot boots
as soon as i can stop these kernels from freezing i can flash whatever ics or gb there is in recovery
note: what are your settings for your flashtool as i might be missing a setting also the info from flashtool says at startup to disable MTP for 2011 devices, would this be my problem?

what kernel are you trying to flash? Be specific!
What rom are you trying to flash?
Disconnect phone from PC after you flashed your rom (any one, first boot must be done while disconnected)
the kernel i would like mostly is the lupus kernel
i can flash every kernel no problems, its the fact that the kernel crashes etc i can also flash the correct rom using flashtool the same thing happens
the case im trying to make is that you first install the kernel then flash your rom in recovery then the extras like wifi modules to the kernel
the kernel (dosent matter which one i try for my device ) has the hot boot issue happen to it no matter what i do before i even have a chance to install the rom(again the correct rom stock or not).
and yes i know you have to wait for boot ups on new roms and kernels, this isnt the first time i have flashed roms as i have a galaxy tab 2 running cm10 for the most part.
again thanks for the quick replys but i think this will require more technical solutions or debugging with my phone or software.
Install cwm on your phone. Search xparts on play store. Go into recovery and wipe system and wipe data and cache then turn off your phone. Open flashtool. Hold search while plugging your phone in and then flash kernel

thank you for for saying that after 1 hour, will try that now and test the kernel for 20 - 5 min
if this works tell the kernel devs to make proper instructions on this

did these exact instructions but the new xparts dosent work so luckily the community had the older version that works,
followed everything buy the book installed cwm using xparts after root went into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and i even wiped the dalvik cache, flashed the lupus ics+gb kernel booted into the custom lupus recovery (scrolled through the menu a minute) then as expected kernel crash followed by hot boot
any other ideas?

Fully working steps:
-download eraser.zip in attachment, unpack it somewhere in pc
-Start flashtool, enter flash mode, hold back button on phone, connect to pc and flash .79 firmware. DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!
-Disconnect phone and connect again in fastboot mode (hold search button while plugging it back)
-Flash Lupus ICS/Gb 480p or 720p kernel
-While still in fastboot mode, double-click file name "start.bat" from where you unpacked file in attachment.
-Disconnect phone, power on and keep pressing volume down untill you enter recovery
-Install rom and reboot
