[Q] Nothing is showing in CVM Recovery - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been on this rom for a while:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267230 and everything was working fine, but now i wanted to change to this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648304 But now my problem is that I flash provided kernel from this new rom and when i boot to recovery it is not showing anything. There aren't any options to wipe, nothing... at the bottom left it just say cvm recovery and a number and that's it. Can you help me? Did i do something wrong?

If you waited too long and cwm still did not show, you should try this:
reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata

Seems like you are doing something wrong, follow instructions written on that thread carefully, if you still can't manage it, stick with stock ROM.

[Q] R800x won't boot even after flashing stock firmware

I unlocked the boot loader and I'm assuming the phone automatically updated over night, because now it won't boot, only vibrates. I tried using the flashtool and even though it says it does it successfully, it still won't boot. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 referenced but the file it links to is not up. Can some one reup the file some where or give me some other advice?
Well does the led flash red 3 times?

I am pretty sure your phone can't update automatically:fingers-crossed: with Sony you have to accept the update.Try flashing ftf stock rom found hear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399 this will bring you back to stock.
Hi just noticed you tried that! Follow the guides on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SE_Xperia_Play I have found them to be useful
Try to flash a kernal in fastboot then a rom,then if you want to go back to stock try that aftet.Get your phone stable first :fingers-crossed:

Whoops! No problem you can boot your phone into fastboot via flashtool/doomlord's fastboot via ADB you don't need to press search button for that.

[Q] [Help!] Stuck on sony logo and cannot boot into CWM

I couldn't find any threads that are helpful to me.. so i had to post a new one.
I have a Xperia arc with lock bootloader. I flashed the lt18i 4.1.B.0.587 one day and installed Xperia Ultimate HD. I decided to go back to stock rom because UHD didn't have the features I expected.. so i flashed the lt18i ftf again via flashtool.i rooted it and installed CWM. Everything works fine.
Then i tried to restore a backup that was made before i flashed lt18i firmware.( my phone was on lt15i 0.587 stock rom at that time)
I tried to restore it on LT18i firmware to have more free space and it actually succeeded. But when i reboot it to homescreen it's just keep saying "keypad force close". i thought it was because the backup was based on lt15i firmware and it's not compatible with 18i firmware...
so i flashed lt15i .587 firmware but i exclude system because i still wanted to have 420MB space and i thought i should do it in this way ( i didn't know if it works or not) unfortunately, i was wrong and the phone stuck on sony logo.
the story hasn't ended. I flashed the LT15i .587 firmware again and this time the phone booted successfully. I rooted and install CWM as i did before.. i rebooted my phone and when sony logo appeared i kept on pressing volume down key but it couldn't get into CWM and was stuck on sony logo.I had to pull out the battery . After that i booted my phone again without trying to get into CWM and it succeeded. So basically everything works fine except stuck on sony logo when i try to boot in CWM.
I need CWM for installing good mods and backup and all kinds of stuff but i couldn't work it out and couldn't find a thread about it. I don't wanna unlock bootloader as well. Please help !!
p.s sorry for bad English and the story seems too long and a bit confusing... i just wanna make it more detailed...
Dude, at the aame time youre flashing kernel. Thats the issue. Just flash lt18 ftf and stick with it. It should work fine. Dont revert back to a lt15 backup, because of kernel incompability.

Your only option is Flashtool if SUS does not work...
Flash the ftf file again, wipe everything and tick the "no final verification" checkbox.

This is really a strange problem indeed! I had the same issue on LB! But mine dint go to CWM and booted directly into device! I tried all sorts of solutions but in vain! At last, I just flashed entirely from the beginning.
1. FTF (Format everything)
2. Root
3. Recovery
And everything is still fine after that!
Whatever you encounter when flashing custom Rom or mods
Go to flashtool and flash back the stock firmware and root and install again .
It always effective

That's exactly what i've done.
I flash the LT18i 4.1.B.0.587 ftf( entire rom) and rooted my phone with E-root, install CWM with cmd... and it works fine if i don't try to boot into CWM. But if i press the volume down button repeatedly when sony logo appears, blue light turns on...the screen gets brighter, and then blue light disappears, and just stuck on it.

I did that....
Had to flash the stock again root install cwm again Rom. But it is the same everytime, evn aftr flashing kernel it always dead. I was trying to instsll another Rom and thn it went to brick mode then aftr lot of search I found to flash stock Rom so downloaded ftf of. 96 an then flashed it started working again I did rooting and installation of cwm again new Rom and it is going on and on right now im using stock Rom frm Sony and it is rooted had not gone further.
How do I solve this now?
so means your phone isn't dead ,so after you flash can't boot, I think you had better to check if you are unlock your boot loap or not, If you have unlocked, I think need to flash new boot for your rom, not only kernel.

right now ,you can flash customer rom,just choice what you want from the furom.Just before you flash the rom,follow the information which the developer said.
Another way is to get to customer service center.

I need more info. Which firmware did you flash (stock (which version?) / CM11/12/13)? In most cases you can reflash the phone using Flashtool. If you were flashing using flashtool you might have a corrupted .ftf file.

He says he ended up in a bootloop. This does not mean that his phone is dead or that he will need SETool. Now he just said "bootloop." We don't know which "bootloop" (kernel/OS). It is most likely the OS bootloop which can be simply fixed by reflashing.
