Have you tried extracting a boot.img with recovery baked in and flash it via fastboot to get yourself into recovery?
78kernel v4 for 4.3 .101
doomkernel v20 for 4.3 .569
doomkernel v17r for 4.2.2 .267
allsparks CMkernel for AOSP.
They all have recovery baked in. If you can get to fastboot, flash them via command line and then boot to recovery.
And if you want a good, reliable, tweakable stock rom thats 4.3 .101, try Romaur. Its recovery flashable. No flashtool needed.

ArcKnight 3.6 doesn't boot, 3.5.1 does.
Also ArcKnight doesn't have the sony logo.
Stock kernel should always work, unless you're using some init.d script that causes a boot loop.
Have you tried flashing everything from scratch?

The Sony logo comes after i flashed the new ROM and tries to reboot.
I have tried flashing a bounce of times, always the same ending.
I flash an older firmware, roots, puts in the new kernel, and then installing the ROM. Then when i restart its just goes to Sony logo and stay there.

To flash another kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
Rooting it won't do the trick.

use your fastboot.

You need to flash your kernel I recommend use the Stock kernel.

You say you flashed .42 as the old firmware and start from there.
That's a gingerbread rom and JJ Hybrid is an ICS rom.
Also you can't use ICS on a gingerbread kernel and vice versa.
I suggest you flash the official ICS update from sony, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
And then try to flash your favorite ICS kernel, factory reset, format system and then flash your favorite ICS rom.
Good luck!

ROM cannot be installed like this.
You are flashing kernel with that command.
Stock ROM needs to be installed via Flashtool. Or another fastboot command("fastboot flash system filename.img" for system folder).
Do i have to have stock .587 to flash in the latest miui update from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851262
And also, when i install the rom, do i just run Aroma installer instead of wiping cache and dalvik then flashing the rom in?

Did you flashed the MIUI kernel?
no
where can i find that?
Is the "boot.img" inside the MIUI.zip
(only if you have unlocked bootloader)
or you can go back to stock rom using sony update service

Guys i need some advice with rooting my friend's Arc s. Here s what i did
Phone was on official ICS. I unlocked the bootloader using the official method.
Then i rooted it using some one click root method
Then installed recovery using recoverx software
Booted to recovery, wipe data, format system
Then tried to install a rom called racing bean. But i got and status 7 error. I tried some other JB rom.
But got the same error
Then i switched off and tried get to recovey. but could not
So i relocked the bootloader and installed official ICS again to boot the phone. The phone is fine now.
so can anybody help me to properly do this?? I just want to install CM on this phone
Racing bean or any other jb rom needs a JB Kernel too!.the ics kernel and jb rom mismatch might give that error.First flash a jb kernel and then it should work fine. This one's what i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559.
First, you forgot kernel. Second make a backup with cwm before any wipe.

I flashed lupus kernel but after that i could not get into recovey. How can i do that?? I had the same problem with Arc fusion kernel
Well,there shouldnt be any problem,vol down or up button while the device lights up(led glows) does the job.But maybe u can try flashing it agn..if still having an issue..use an app like rom toolbox or boot manager to reboot into recovery..btw srry for the late reply
I gave up the effort. I tried about 6 Roms and kernels. Even ICS kernels with ICS roms. But After flashing the rom the phone does not go pass the kernel boot screen. I had to relock the bootloader and flash the stock Rom again. I have flashed hundreds of roms on so many devices. But never faced this kind of situation

Not sure why you would have installed RecoverX if you have an unlocked bootloader as all you need to do is flash a kernel that includes CWM.

Ya right i did flash the kernel via fastboot. Then booted into CWM and flashed the rom. But when i reboot it gets stuck at kernel screen
This happened to me and all I did was leave the phone like 10 mins booting, then it magically worked. I'm using Arc fusion 4.3 with racing bean, no problems. Try this, flash lupus kernel, wipe everything, go on fastboot and flash fusion, try to go on cwm and if it works, try to install racingbean again. At least that's one of the things I did.
AW: Need Help
Always give the recovery log...

Hi !
I have a locked A.55 Xperia S from Dubai and were trying to install CM9.1 (stable) but now, its stuck at the Cyanogenmod animation. I waited for like 10 minutes but it just won't go from there. Re-flashing the kernal and wiping and then re-installing CM9.1 didn't work.
What I did:
1. Installed the drivers from Google dev website with fastmode driver from Sony dev site.
Selected the ADB mode driver (not the bootloader driver) for the S1boot device in Device Manager.
2. Rooted using Easy Root 1.2 (chinese version)
(success, I could see superuser process in the apps)
3. Unlocked bootloader using the fastmode as mentioned in Sony's website.
4. Downloaded the CM9.1 nozomi from CM website and Gapps from another website and copied to the root of the internal memory (Xperia doesn't have memory card ?)
5. Installed CWM recovery (6.0.3 ?) using Recover X
6. Flashed CM kernal from the CM9.1 nozomi zip (boot.img) using flashtool 0.9.11
7. Backed up the existing data using CWM.
8. Flashed CM9.1 nozomi using CWM and then Gapps. Factory reset and Cache clear.
9. Stuck at FreeXperia logo
10. Gone to CWM and restored the backup but it gave an error with "can't format with mkextf4 /dev/block/mmcblk3322 (or something like that)
11. Stuck at XPERIA logo (animation)
12. Installed the CM9.1 and Gapps and then factory reset, cache reset and Dalvik cache clear (when I press on "clear Dalvik Cache", I don't see any message in the log btw)
13. Stuck at CM9.1 Robot animation (the matrix ?)
Please help guys...its my only phone and I'm a busy guy regarding phone calls and emails
Thanks for reading
Does flashing a different kernal a good idea ?
Where did you download your cm? FXP or CM official website? You can fix it by flashing stock firmware using flashtool.

Yeah, CM official website !
So, should I just download the stock firmware.zip and flash it with recovery or I have to download the .ftf file ?
I flashed the Pure ICS kernal but its stuck at the "Pure ICS kernal" logo.
What should I do now ?
Download the stock firmware ftf and flash it ?
From where I can get the kernal for the stock firmware?

I have installed the drivers from the driver folder in the flashtool but when I connect my mobile in flashmode (green led), the add hardware wizard pops up and within 2 seconds, the phone boots up freezing the system.
The flashtool displays an error saying "install drivers".
I have installed all drivers using flashtool's driver installer but why does it still say its not installed ?

EDIT:
Can I use fastboot mode instead of flash mode in the flashtool ?
Now, it doesn't even recognize the phone....I mean, even if I connect it in flash mode (green led), the flashtool doesn't start the flashing

Is there any way I could access its memory ?

I think You will have to revert to stock for that and then root and install cwm. Here is the link to stock ftf, Select which ever suitable. I don't know which root works on Your device, so do check the thread for it. Then install the cwm.

Well, You can try this app. It is an app to manage ROM and CWM, and hopefully will install CWM on Your phone.
