Flash firmware right on device - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Arc LT15i with stock ICS. I want to flash CM 10 onto it, but I read the firmware must be updated to spoof an LT18i.
My current build/firmware is 4.1.B.0.431.
The USB port is damaged and cannot connect to a computer, so is there anyway to get CM10 on this? Flash in recovery?
Your help is much appreciated

Nope, unless you fix your USB port you're not going to flash anything.

Okay. Is there anything to put on on this device with this current firmware that can be flashed in recovery?

just small mods. (like some apk's & so on) but most roms require latest kernel or even a custom kernel. maybe you look to fix your usb port

Meh, I just got a S5. I use the Arc for news and casual stuff to save battery. Just keeping it as a media player really.

Not really, unless someone creates a flashable zip with stock fw using a rom creator and transfers it you by bluetooth, but that would be stupid because in the time it's taken to transfer a bluetooth file you could have put on a computer, run flashtool, dl'd the stock ftf, flash the phone, gone to a pub and had a beer
Thank you for the prompt response.

that wouldn't work as you can't flash kernel via recovery

[Q] Stock Rom in Zip Format

Hello,
Can someone help me find a link to a working stock unrooted rom in a zip format. I need to flash it and do not have access to a windows computer but all the files that I have found are no longer working links. I need this by tomorrow I have to take my phone to Sprint due to an issue with my hardware.
Thank you,
You said no access to Windows PC - how about ANY PC, including Mac/Linux? If so you can use Heimdall.
If not, how about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459529&highlight=el29
mobile odin is what you are looking for. Check it out in the market. You can flash .tar files from your phone.
I do have a Mac and I have used heimdall to flash kernel many times but I have never used it to flash roms and I do not know how to do it. I will look into the mobile odin.
Is it safe to flash full rom tar files through mobile Odin?

Hello guys, I am still having problems finding a stock eg30 or el29 in a zip format to flash in recovery. I tried using a windows computer to use the one click root but it stops working about 20 seconds in.
Thank you all in advance.

Can you provide any more information on the problem that you're having? Might also help to know what you're currently running and if there are any issues beyond the ODIN OC problems mentioned.
I am running a calkulin 1.0 because I was relying to find a rom that at least looks stock. I have tried Odin and all it does to my phone is leave a message to connect to Kies for recovery. I reflash a kernel and fix it but all it seems to take is flashing using recovery.

Did you try the stock rom in the link I provided before? You should be able to do that by CWM.
Use mobile Odin and flash the tar files here ....

That is the generic behavior if an ODIN flash does not complete.
What does the log say in ODIN OC?
That will give insight into why it is failing.
You can also take the ODIN OC files (or the individual .tar.md5 in the 2nd post of the ODIN OC threads) and feed them to Mobile ODIN (after unpacking the 7zip self extractors)
That link just seems to be modems not rooms.

[Q] Backing Up Help

Hello,
I want to flash a custom rom to my Galaxy Gio, but before, I want to make a backup for the device, I guessed using CWM Recovery will be good, so I searched about it, I read that it may brick my phone when using if with an rfs filesystem, which is my case because I use a stock rom and want to flash the new rom.
Any help or advice about backing up my phone which has stock rom ??
problems with Wi-Fi have been fixed?

Wi-Fi problems ?

Currently I don't have any problem with Wi-Fi
Did you already rooted your phone. You need to root your phone before flashing custom roms. There is a chance your phone get bricked but when you read very much and do exactly what the guides says there's no problem.

Yes I did, and I know there is always a chance, it depends on how much you follow instructions. But is it related to filesystem ?
U can't backup stock rom via CWM. Moreover, u need to have only CWM to flash custom roms(which are pre-rooted).
Hope this helps...!!!

your argument is invalid.
you can backup a stock rom, as long as you gained root acces and are using the right version of CWM

Well, It bricked when I made a restore from that stock ROM backup, now fixed it and restoring things back manually.

You could try Chochi's official 4.1.2. It's a zip file you can flash on TWRP. Couldn't you install TWRP via GooManager?

Well yeah, you could just install TWRP via GooManager's app on Google Play, then download the .zip file and the superwipe on the OP link. Install the way the OP said so and it should be it.

stock recovery

Is there anyway to disable file verification on stock recovery without using Odin. I went to complete stock 4.3 to update BL. . But my usb port went out...
None that im aware of. You need a custom recovery for that.

You can flash custom Recoveries via Mobile Odin.
Only if you're already rooted, just so you know. If you are, then I highly recommend Mobile Odin!
