Update
Hi,
i manage to flash using flashtool to stock rom LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-27160), now i am trying to install custom kernel but everytime i go into fastboot it asks for sony adb interface driver ? i have enabled usb debugging ?
Model: LT18I
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build: 4.1.B.0.587
Solved all issues with perseverance;
What i had to do was update adb driver, manually choose from list and select fastboot driver, after that i installed rush_kernel and rush_wifi_kernel to fix issues and resolve wifi not working on rom after each installation clear dalvik cache.
All working now

Hi,
I have an xperia arc s Lt18a. So here what happened:
1. I unlocked bootloader
2. used fastboot to enter CWM and tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539752
3. The aroma installer said "install successfully so I restarted my phone
4. After the SE logo appears for a few seconds, the screen goes blank.
I tried to install with some other custom roms but I get the same problem. Thank you for your help.

Important! Only for unlocked bootloader
- Update Flashtool to latest version
- Flash any stock based 4.0.4 rom or official ftf with Flashtool Skip this step if you are already on a 4.0.4 stock based rom
- Go into recovery and do advanced => wipe dalvik cache and factory reset
- install my rom

Did you follow the instructions correctly?
I did follow the steps. I tried to install the custom roms many times. I flashed the official 4.0.4 ftf and followed step by step. I also flashed DoomKernel before install the custom rom.
So far, I can only flash official firmware but I cannot install custom rom because of the problem described.
Try flashing some other ROM..

in order to install ka21 rom, u need stock kernel with cwm.
1)flash .432(4.0.4) firmware on your phone.(dont worry everything that goes wrong can be corrected once you have a unlocked bootloader)
2) flash the kernel from the below thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680793
3) now, enetr cwm and then install your preferred rom.
u also need to wipe catch partition.
dude u havent installed a kernel...thats y u are having this problem
CWM is no more there after installing a new rom and new rom won't load. Then i have to flash the stock rom again > root it > install CWM. Again when i install any rom it would install normally but nothing gives a blank screen after reboot and the stock rom is not even there.
The situation is occurring with the following;
Phone: Sony Xperia ARC S (LT18i)
Bootloader: unlocked
Android version 2.3.4 (Build 4.0.2.A.42) -
I have made multiple attempts on installing new roms but nothing works. Every time i reboot after installation im left with a blank screen. Can anyone advise what the problem could be ?
Thanks
Did u flash the kernel for the ROM u flashed ? The ROM will not boot without its kernel.

you must be installing CWM into the system through one touch command prompt program.. as such as soon as the ROM changes and you wipe out data and cache, CWM disappears..try flashing a custom recovery kernel which are available even for stock roms.
Also follow these steps for a custom ROM (eg CM9):
download the ROM, extracted it into a folder, copy the boot.img where you can remember, then copy the original cm9 ZIP - not the extracted folder- into the root of SD..use fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img which you had copied..its a recovery kernel so CWM should open..wipe out SD data..then cache..and then go into advanced option and clear dalvik..and then proceed to install zip from sd..then gapps.zip if u want..it should install fine..and then reboot.
Press Thanks if you think i was of help to you..:good:

Got it - Yes i was installing CWM within stock rom via market. though i tried to install it through adb/windows but still i guess the problem was all about not installing a custom recovery kernel.
Thanks a lot !

Your problem is kernel I think... Download lupus kernel for jelly bean and follow instructions...

Thanks to Jader
Install fusion or lupus Jelly Bean kernel.
Enter into recovery -> wipe everything (dalvik, cache and user data).
Flash the ROM and reboot.

You got no battery ?
I suggest you put your mobile to charging for 2-3 hours.
And you need not install fastboot drivers, you just need flashmode drivers.
You can easily install them. So did you face any error while trying to flash a stock rom ? as you said you've tried to flash it, so what were the results ?
I am using Xperia zl c6502
i tried to root my phone
and i did root it but it was not proper but i got root permissions with supersu and rooted with .230 stock firmware
so i already have a flash tool in my pc and all the drivers
and had recovery
i was not happy and found a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/development/rom-ultimate-dualxzl-ultra-v1-t2989281
every thing goes well till the end and i rooted via recovery mode
it was written that
FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS
1. Copy The AROMA ROM v1 Zip To Ur Phone
2. Backup Ur Datas If U Need It
3. Switch Off and Reboot To Recovery
4. Wipe Data Factory Reset ( Recommended )
5. Flash AROMA ROM
6. Simply (Carefully ) Read All Options In Aroma Then Proceed
7. After Installation Do Not Choose Reboot option In Aroma. Un Check it . Click Finish AROMA and Then
8. Flash Any 292 Based Custom Kernel Zip Or Flash .292 based kernel
9. Reboot 3 or 4 Times To Get A Stable Performance
so i flash .292 based kernel via recovery mode which i downloaded before starting to install everything
in the end it installed well and i rebooted my phone to system
but
screen remained black, no recovery now, pc dont recognise phone on connection
i did hard reset from the back button manually
and try to connect to flash tool to flash new rom
in flash tool on pc
after few tries
first my phone was disconnected
then it did.nt recognise my phone and asked which was my phone i tapped xperia zl
then it shows device connected when i check device status via fastboot mode
it shows adb connected with usb debugging
but no recovery, no displayon phone and no root
at the moment
i have these problems
sometimes flashtool can detect my phone in adb mode with usb debug and some times it get connected in fastboot mode
but i was not able to flash my previous rom via that flash tool
neither i was able to go in recovery nor able to boot my phone
it just a black screen
and after hard reset it shows orange light when i plug it in for charging but screen is black
what should i do please help.
If can connect via flashtool... then try flashing a stock kernel... and see if it boots... bt the best thing in my opinion is to download a stock firmware and flash that via flashtool...
thanks
as i was trying to connect via flashtool now on win xp my phone was detected by system and i installed flashtool in win xp and drivers. then i was able to flash the stock rom by flashtool.
now my phone booted again am happy..
but my phone was not on the stock rom as it was before
it appears it rooted on the aroma i think but am confused what to do next
should i reinstall the aroma again fresh via recovery?
Try to flash a different rom this time and check whether its working or not... if it does then mayb redownload your previous rom again n try that... again...
