Wifi & CWM isn't working in Xperia Arc - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my Xperia Arc last year and installed Ultimate HD v3. Though it was working fine yesterday after I had flashed Ultimate HD v5, both my Wifi and CWM stopped working (earlier I probably installed CWM manually through copying some files to SYSTEM directory). Now, I have no idea whether its a ROM specific problem or I've done something wrong. I am a noob so someone please help me out. In this situation could someone help with the following:
1. How I can re-install CWM now (my wifi is nor working)?
2. Is there any way to start wifi without CWM module flash?
It would be a great help if someone could guide me what to do and provide some thread link for this. Thanks in advance.

1. Flash LuPuS Kernel, use the search button.
2. Once you have flashed LuPuS kernel and installed UHDv5, there is no need to flash wifi modules.

Thanks a lot. Wi-Fi is now working. Is there any to get the CWM working?

If you flashed lupus then cwm should be working...
Most custom kernels come with recovery...

[Q] R800i FX127 CM9 wifi not working? Please help

Hi there,
I've flashed FW.62 then FX127 boot.img then from cwm the rom. Everything seems fine but I can't activate wifi :/
I then tried Doomlords V14 Kernel but somehow it doesn't boot..stays at Doomlords Image.
Anyone else got these problems?
FX126 was working, but there i Bluetooth Sound didn't work.
The main reason I flashed FX127.
Anyone got some ideas? I'd appreciate them.
Regards Staati
Ok, found a solution. Doomlord Kernel v14 seems not to work with a ICS for me.
Installing it corrupted the WiFi somehow, abfer clean Firmware install then FX127 Kernel and CM9 Rom it works.
You could also try using the Mjolnir4 kernel and modules, it fixed my wifi and video problems!:highfive:

[Help] Custom ROM

I updated my Arc S with the official ICS update from sony however the lag and other issues were driving me mad so i decided to root my phone.
The next obvious step seemed to be installing a custom ROM so i installed clockwork mod and made a back up, everything great so far.
I made a back-up and wiped my phone, went to install the free xperia CM9 ROM and thats when everything went pear shaped.
The ROM didn't install, i wiped my phone again but got the same distressing fail.
Thinking there was possibly a fault with the zip i re-downloaded the ROM and found an alternative (one of the arcronium ones i think) and put those on my SD, all seemed to be well and good, i had a backup and Clockwork Mod what could possibly go wrong?
Well when i tried to boot my phone in recovery all i get is a boot loop! :crying:
The only thing i could do was to use flashtools and flash a ROM to my beloved Arc S
I tried this exact process a few times but suffered the same fate, please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? or could i apply a custom ROM using flashtools?
Where I'm currently at:
Model number: LT18i
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-70
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build Number: 4.1.A.0.562
Where I would like to be in an ideal world:
Fully working Arc S running Cynogen Mod 9 :victory:
Any help achieving this would be greatly appreciated!

FXP ROM function best on FXP Kernels... Try flashing one of their Kernels and reinstalling the ROM.
Bootloader open?
And for CM u need a fxp kernel, but u cant use it with arconium, there u need trinity or arc-knight kernel
Make sure to do a "Wipe data / factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" when going from stock or from another custom ROM
I have no idea if my bootloader is open or not, how do i tell?
I found this link to the FXP CM 9.0 but i have no idea what anything is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356685
I'm guesing "CM9.0 RC1 FXP127" is a kernel? and if so how do i flash it and what do i do next?
Thanks for the replies, I'll be getting my Arc fixed in no time
Did you follow any instructions from sony to unlock bootloader?

No, it's a ROM. You need to read things carefully before just going and flashing this or flashing that. Flash a stock ROM with the Flashtool and start over.

Dude, First thing you gotta do is unlock your boot loader. Google around you will find it. To unlock the boot loader as well as to flash a custom kernel you need something called fastboot. There is a video in youtube on how to use fastboot and flash custom kernel and that user has provided the download link as well go and search. After unlocking boot loader install CWM (either with auto installer or by flashing a custom kernel with CWM) After doing that flash the FXP127 zip booting in to CWM. The FXP127 zip contains the FXP kernel as well so don't worry when you flash that the kernel gets changed as well. Still can't figure it out. I suggest you keep away from flashing roms Just kidding.
I'm on a stock ROM at the moment that i flashed so i'll just follow some instructions and unlock my bootloader first.
Where can i the latest FXP kernel?
Again Cheers guys

You can find CM9 kernel in zip that you just downloaded. Open it an Extract "boot.img" file. That is the kernel. Flash that first, go to recovery, wipe all data, wipe dalviks chcae, format /system and then chose "install .zip from SD card" and select FXPCM9.zip (or whatever it is named) and it will install you CM9. Don't forget on Gapps.
excellent i unlocked my bootloader and i've got the kernel and rom i want, just one last thing, whats the baseband and when do i flash it (if i have to flash it at all)?
Unfortunately i forgot i uninstalled the stock sony launcher and when unlocking the bootloader it wiped launcher pro so my phones pretty useless as it stands so the quicker i can get a new rom on the better!
Many thanks again, I'm slowly getting there
All done
Cheers for the help everyone!
baseband controls radio communications like communications with cell towers
I did not flash any baseband and it works

First view if WiFi is active on your phone.
Else reflash modules from recovery (install zip from sd)

Wifi modules should be with kernel thread, if you are on ArcKnight kernel use modules for ArcKnight. For Trinity, use Trinity modules.
I looked at links, on ArcKnight it is google docs page, you will see menu at top, select file and download. You will have flashable zip.
try this
i think you are trying to download either trinity kernel or arcknight kernel wifi modules
i went through the site,,,it's google docs
so just go to FILE ON THE UPPER LEFT SIDE AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON
DON'T TRY to download individual files ...
***IF THIS DOESN'T HELP THEN try to use different browser and download the zip file(i use chome and it's working fine)

Hey i saw the link you pasted and the wifi modules are fine..they are uploaded in docks.google website and the link shows the files present in the zip file..the only thing you need to do is go to https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8PRWqpWN73RcVhFSVZ0MEpmWjg/edit?pli=1 or https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8PRWqpWN73RM0VMVG9xQzU5RTg/edit?pli=1 links as per your kernel and there go to file menu on the top..then select download..
The downloaded file willl be in zip format..then later flash it through cwm !!
Hope This Helps u..

[Q] Error! Could not download Internet Settings, Please HEP

I came through a lot of problems for the past 2 weeks, with my new Xperia Arc. Currently i ve flashed to .587 stock ROM and then flashed Vengence kernel, Installed the Ultimate HD v3.03 using CWM. I also installed the modules of both vengence and stock .587. But now i cannot access internet, when i download the settings from Settings->Xperia->Download settings. I get this "Could not download settings error" Please insist me. But i can see the APN profile in my networks option, even when i tick that, its not working..
THis is what i followed, a post by Tesla....
Oh man.. They are right after Vengeance 1.32 download.
Called Modules http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mg8x3fl3qxpp9u1
You will need stock too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1345565020
I flashed both the modules, but could'int get it ork, Please help me, Any one faced similar problems?
What do you mean by "modules of both vengence and stock .587"? You only need to flash Vengeance modules. Flash .587 then custom kernel then install UHD (remember to wipe everything) and then kernels modules. Good luck.

I skimmed through the Ultimate HD threat, and found that , flashing the vengence kernel's modules is not enough... I must also flash the stocke .587 kernal 's modules... That is which i obtained from that link above, I even tried to everything from the starch, BUt the internet problem still persist, So since i am flashing to .587 ROM 0r Firmware, (which is probably the ROM of Xperiar Arc S) Should i have to download the vengence kernel for Arc S ???? What should i specify in the aroma installer? Arc S or Xperia Arc?
But why flash stock modules when they're already embedded in UHD? Start again from flashing .587 ftf then install Vengeance kernel from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097138 then wipe all, install ROM and then flash kernel modules. I'm not sure but try to select Arc s in aroma installer.
edit:
Remember to flash new modules downloaded from the thread linked above.

i did it 4 times !!!!!!!!!!! And still the same problem, wifi is working great but the mobile internet is not working, the APN settings exists, but cannot use internet, I think there is some problem with APN configuration file in my ROM.. Any body faced the same problem...?? Please help..!
Look for internet settings on your carriers website and setup your phone manually.

I already did that.... The settings are the same.. But there is no internet access.. But its working fine on stock .587 ROM ... Then the problem must be with the UHD rom right??? There is no E symbol at all..
i have the same internet settings problem as well. turned on Data Connectivity but no H or E or 3G or anything. i had to reinstall the ROM to make it work again.. but even then,, it always swtiches down to EDGE eventhough there's 3G signal. might be interference between ROM and kernel.
