Hello ...
two days ago i've unlocked and flashed custom kernel & rom (Super JB) on device Arc S LT18. I, and don't know why, used Flashtools to recover to 2.3.4 and after that installed the mentioned rom (yes i've cleared all). Now the device only boots if i use Menu + Power button. What the hell ? If i only use the power button, the green light flashes and nothing else (no boot). DO i need a clean wipe and all over again? Maybe i must flash original kernel 5.4. ?
After flashing the ROM in recovery, did you flash the patch for your device as mentioned in the installation instructions?

yes, i've flashed the patch after the rom. I really don't know what happened, was it the flashed kernel (that is the first time i've encounter the problem) ? or maybe that i've installed a stock rom (2.3.4) and didn't boot the device (and then proceed with the custom installation) ? or maybe it's the kernel, because i've flashed the Super Fusion and not the fusion 5.4
now i've installed the official CyanogenMod 10.2, but can't seem to fix this bug

you need to flash ics stock firmware 4.04 first then you can flash custom kernel then custom JB rom
jb rom cant's be flashed on gingerbread 2.3.4 roms, you have to be on stock ics 4.04

What difference does it make, if both kernel and /system partition are completely formatted anyway?

its your choice mate if you want to be on GB rom then flash gb 2.3.4 or if you want to be on ICS then flash ics 4.04 stock rom
but if you want to flash JB custom roms then you need to flash ics stock rom first.
you can either reover to ICS or GB via flashtool its upto you
well the cm 10.2 works really good and maybe i will test cm 11 (or any custom rom from 4.2 above). so i will try your suggestion and see what happens.
EDIT: well the stock browser crashed today -.-' ... will have to test further ... and the strange boot is kinda fixed (it was my fault because i didn't pushed the power button long enought lol)
EDIT 2: stock browser simply force close everytime i use it. google play store doesn't work well :/

Hi,
after I flashed the beta ICS, I flashed another custom rom over it.. now, after that sucked I flashed another custom rom right over it >>>instead of flashing firstly official ics beta again<<<<<
Now the play doesnt boot in OS, equal what ftf file I flash it doesnt quite boot, it doesnt work with my kernels too..
The play has installed ICS on flash which was flashed by recovery menu, and through FTF it has now gingerbread because I tried to backflash it again..
You know what I mean ? Sorry that I cant quite explain any better as Im German.
I just want to use my play again as I really enjoy using all your custom roms..
Hope some1 can help... thanks in advice.
Kind regards from Germany
try flashing doomkernal ics beta v1
Flash the ics beta and advanced stock kernel.
I have flashed a rom and kernel for the first time but what is the initial step to do it the second time? for example if I was going to flash C.A.M.P ROM how would I be able to do it properly to get it to work just like my first ROM?
I have previously flashed doom ics v3 kernel and Mark Phyton ICS

Flash the required kernel first. Then install rom through CWM its the same steps. However if I were you I do a fresh install of stock gb before installing a new rom. Because sometimes changing from different roms can screw up some things.

Did you try using using flashtool to revert your xperia play back to gb using flashtool? Otherwise you will learned the hard way if your xperia play soft bricks.
hi everyone i wanted to know taht i am on aokp(jb) rom and i wanna go to a stock based(ics) without using flashtool.
any help will be appreciated.
The best way is the flashtool to return to stock, otherwise a stock based kernel and ROM in the same way you flashed AOKP.
Sent from Myushi
but most of the stock based roms said that i need the 587.baseband to install the rom. please let me know coz am in no mood to use flashtool
.587 is not a baseband, it's the stock 4.0.4 ICS firmware version (fully 4.1.B.0.587 iirc). Just download and flash via flashtool
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
ok i just wanted to make sure if their is any other way other then flashtool thanks.
Just flash the kernel, wipe everything, and install the ICS ROM you want. I came back to ICS from CM10 without flashing stock ftf, and no issues at all.

thankyou so much all that getting me worried was all the devs saying i need 587.firmware thanks mate.
I just wanna know about installing CWM Recovery in my arc s with a JB rom. Because there is no supported CWM for xperia arc s for JB.
And I am new to flashing kernals..i did my arc s to JB with fusion 5.4 anyhow but if i want to change the kernal do i need to reflash the rom as well?
And also I installed CWM recovery using X-parts before unlocking bootloader. Should I continue installing like that if i Go back to ICS...or should i follow a another way since now my arc has unlocked BL.
And also when to install the kernal before or after flasing the rom.
Thank You

Recovery is built within the kernel, so you do not need to install any recovery by yourself.
You can change kernel at any time, no need to reflash the ROM. Just make sure the new one is compatible with your ROM (JB kernel with JB ROM, ICS kernel with ICS ROM).
If you have unlocked BL, you can just flash any custom kernel (all of them should include a recovery), no need for X-Parts.

Thank you for your reply
So do i need to clear any caches after flashing new kernal?
And also what is the best kernal for JB based on cm 10 for my arc s that supports 720p video recording and gives a good battery life.
Thank you

No need to clear any cache, if you change kernels.
There is currently only one JB kernel, that supports HD video recording. I will update this post, once I find it.
EDIT: LuPuS JB kernel, make sure you download the 720p version. Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting back from a KitKat Rom to an JB or ICS ROM.
I'm getting stuck with the firmware. It's flashing OK (I've tried several different ones), but when I boot up and try to get into CWM it just sits there on the firmware logo (e.g. the LUPUS logo, or the Rush logo).
Is there something fundamentally stopping me going back to an ICS or JB firmware, after I've previously had KitKat running?
HELP
Oh, this is the Kitkat ROM I originally installed, and it's included kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570072
If I flash that kernel again, I can get into Kitkat successfully, no problem at all.
As above, if I flash any other kernel, I just can't get into CWM.

You can flash stock ICS firmware using Flashtool, then flash a JB custom kernel with a recovery. From there, use the recovery to flash a JB ROM.

Thanks for your reply.
What is the need for flashing an ICS kernel first?
I'll give it a go, but flashing a custom ICS kernel with a recovery I've been unable to get into CWM.
I'm probably doing something really stupid.

Flashing ICS is recommended first since this will restore you phone's memory partitions. KK uses different memory partitions to make it run properly. This will also wipe your phone's data and allows you to do a clean install that should eliminate most errors that you encounter during ROM installation.
Ok, thanks so much for the advice
I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on!
Ok, I'm back on Gingerbread stock firmware
Android v2.3.4, Build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I can't find an ICS based FTF file - everything is either 404 or on hotfiles, which is dead.
I've unlocked the bootloader (which I thought I'd already done, but maybe the flash of the firmware undoes that?)
Not sure where to go from here.

Check my signature for stock firmwares, there are working links for Arc and Arc S.
