hmmm bro, i think you have a same problem with stuck in boot logo after unlock the bootloader right? just try to flash the stock rom with flashtool and check list the wipe data and cache in flashtool and after that flash it and wait. after boot up you can install any kernel for recovery mode and any custom rom for your development.
good kuck

I used the fastboot . followed the proper procedures from sony's official site.

anyhow, bootloader unlocking was ok. i was showing successful. even i tries2nd time as well. its same. still same problem. i tried almost all the custom roms from this forum and stock rom but result is same.
my brain is also freezed now.

so you think it's must change the kernel first? i still dizzy i just reflash it and it's okay again? change the kernel? with fastboot? but how about that kernel isn't compatible with that devices? can be hardbrick?
This may be the solution.
Hey brother,
Even i encountered that problem before, even i followed the same steps mentioned in the official sony site and was successful in wiping out my stock ROM and got stuck into the boot logo "SONY".
Then i tried to reset my phone using hard reset keys but didnt work.
i sincerely suggest you not to use flashtool.exe( which will open up CMD and u type series of codes ) .
Then i used Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool ( now new version is released) you can download from
here : http://www.xperiafirmware.com/compo...2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool
Download the .FTF file of your phone and connect your phone in Flashboot mode ( it may be volume down key , search for ur phone).
Then make sure you check Wipe data and cache partition and click the flash button.
I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004. it worked for me and i am sure this will work for u too. if u have tested with this method and if it didnt work then i am so sorry i cant help u but trust me this will definitely work.:good::angel:

so the step is re flash the firmware with ftf.file after that you do wipe data/factory reset? only that? i think that what i do, but i don't do any wipe data? pok it's not necessary, but first your phone has succesfully boot up right with unlocked bootloader Good job and happy flashing anyway:silly:

Hey there,
When you flash .FTF file all your data on your phone will be erased , even the /System. So it restarts as good as before. Dont know whether this is the exact explanation but i did see this on Flashtool. so that made me tell this .. if u came through the exact explanation , plz do comment here. they are many waiting to learn. thanks:good::angel:

but i think is that we can choose right? is that we want to wipe it? data or system in flashtool before we flash the .ftf file right? so why you say when we flash it the /data also erased automatically? i've flash it when my phone still locked bootloader to update 4.3 from 4.1.2 and my data is save? why?

Hey there,
Yes we can select whether to wipe out data or not but the reason i mentioned is i want his phone to turn as new as before , you can exclude
wiping out the data but the remains of files in the /System can lead to undesirable , i never experimented but read in few blogs and few tld me abt this and that made me write it .so i never wanted to take chances and thats y i suggested him like that
i am no expert and still learning . but it is recommended to wipe out data and cache . thats what we do when we flash a custom rom right?
hope i was clear. thnx , gud day:angel::angel::good:

Hey Guyz,
i unlocked by bootloader using fast boot method
then i rooted my phone using the same method and it was working fine.
Yesterday i installed CW rom and CWM autoinstaller , to reboot in recovery and installed a mod to bring reboot in Power Off menu options.. it intalled correctly.
But when i rebooted the phone, the sony ericcson logo appears again and again.. i.e it is stuck in boot loop.. m still able to enter in recovery but unable to boot my phone properly..
Please Help...
The First solution is to flash a stock firmware using flashtool.
But which Kernel and which Rom have you tried to flash?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
k.. i'l try to flash 4.0.a.283 using fastboot..
BTW
I am noob.. Dont know anything about anything about kernel.. all i did was install Clock work rom.. When i opened it, it said, "you need to install CWM". So i installled CWM autoinstaller...
Now with everything installed, i booted into recovery and installed a mod ( which brings the option to reboot in Power Off menu). It installed correctly... Then i clicked on reboot system now.. That is when i realized that m stuck in boot loop..

You must first check the compatibilty of "reboot mod" with the firmware version you use.
Just check the firmware you have in your phone and make sure it matches with the firmware on which the mod is based.
@wayne
I have flashed my phone using fastboot method just like i did it when i was rooting my phone. And Thank GOD it is working fine now..
@KingWecked,
M still trying to figure out, where did i go wrong at the first place...
was it the CWM auto installer ??
or was it the Reboot mod ?? coz i downloaded the mod for xperia arc only..
Do we need to change that kernel thing after rooting ??
I don't know what the hell is a kernel; and after rooting i haven't done anything with my kernel. Should i ???
A kernel is the base of what Android runs

Before you install any mod,you must first check the firmware version you are using.You can find it out from Settings-->About Phone-->Build Number.
It contains the firmware version on which your phone is running Ex:4.0.a.283
.283 is the old version firmware and most of the mods dont work on this firmware.You must flash the latest firmware .42 in order to support the majority of the mods and themes available in this forum
And a kernel is very complicated thing.you must not mess with it unless you know what you are doing.Manipulating your kernel might brick your phone permanently.And if you want to know much further about kernels then search the forum and you must find loads of threads explaining about kernels and stuff related with it
@ KingWickedd
are u sure .283 is an old firmware
Coz initially i had "unrooted .62"
For rooting purpose i downloaded this firmware..
So can U please tell me where can i get " rooted 0.42 firmware" where i can start installing all mods right away..
Note: Multiupload links are not working ... Any other links ????

Yes I am sure its the old version where as .42/.62/.69 are the latest firmware versions.They have almost everything in common and they differ based on the regions they are released in.

Hey clever guys on XDADevelopers,
I want to know how to install doomkernel for the xperia play. But I have no clue what this fastboot exe and drivers are. My Xperia Play has got an unlocked bootloader and is run 0.42 baseband which is rooted. I want to install 0.62 baseband then install doomkernel but dont know how to to.
Thanks in advance,
zeshansajid
Use the command window that you used to unlock the bootloader.
Download dooms Kernal and rename it from. ??version?? .img to boot.img for ease, place that file in the fastboot folder that is on your pc from unlocking.
Now type this code into command window with the device unplugged.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It will then say waiting for device. Now connect device holding search button it will then flash doom Kernal
When ok type
fastboot reboot
Your device will now boot up with doomkernal, recovery and pre-root installed.
You will need to install the modules.zip in recovery (doomkernal press back key when booting) to get WiFi working on the Rom you choose to flash if you do install one that is.
Hope this helps don't forget to say thanks

1. unzip the folder
2. place file in C:\Flashtool folder
3. startup flahtool, click the "thunder bolt" icon, and then click fastboot mode
4. click "select kernel to flash"
5. you should then see the desired kernel you have placed in flashtool folder from step 2 click on it then click "ok"
6. it will flash in about 2 point something seconds
7. read the log when its done then click on the "thunder bolt" icon again and select fastboot mode
8. click "reboot device into system"

Download the zip file for that rom, place in sd card boot into recovery, depending on what rom you are flashing, you might have to wipe data. Then just flash it using CWM

Ok so I know that im a bit late with this but I just flashed doomkernel v14 with modules and now can't get my xperia plat r800at to connect to the Wi-Fi.

I tried deleting the cache and data along with a factory reset trying to fix this with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys!
My Xperia Arc S is kinda new - 1 month old.
I was on Xperia Ultimade HD Rom for a while and wanted to install another rom, so i did via CWM Recovery.
All fine.
I wanted to restart my phone but it got stock in Sony Logo.
Because my bootloader cant be unlocked i rooted with kernel downgrade and CWM is not there after flashing due to the wipe.
So i flashed stock .tft with Flashtool and phone booted again.
Now when I'm trying to flash anything my phone gets always stuck in Sony Logo (even when i try Eagleboy's mode without wiping!).
Anyway: I'd like to install a custom rom.
Does anyone how to fix this?
Bootloader: Locked
Phone: LT18i
Rooted: yes
... and I have the 4.0.1.B.0.587 firmware installed right now.
Thanks in advance!
Phone Flashing problem
That's the only problem with locked bootloader's:crying:When you install some stock custom roms you have to wipe system to do a clean install which by default wipes cwm because it is installed in system for locked bootloader's.So if you have a problem with a install you have to flash another .ftf because you wiped cwm recovery.
When I first had arc I had a locked bootloader and it was a pain if something went wrong while flashinghaving to flash again etc! etc! It just got to stage where I had enough and took the plunge and unlocked the bootloader.:good:
I'm afraid it's one of those things you have to live with unless you unlock your bootloader:crying: ( I know you said you can't )there are quite a few stock roms that work but like I said if anything goes wrong you have to flash .ftf again.Probably a case of just trying each one Jader's rom alway's seemed to boot nice:good:

Hi, thanks for your answer
I tried to install 3 different roms till now - i wiped everything.
Then: Boot till sony-logo - I have to flash another tft with flashtool, Root again, and this takes time and is quite annoying.
I came from Samsung Galaxy S there wasn't the problem with the "bootloader" which is really annoying.
So: What should i do now?
I mean my CWM is not persistent and till now no rom worked.

Hi totally agree it is frustrating!:crying: When you install some of these custom rom's they use Aroma installer are you unticking the reboot option in aroma installer and rebooting from cwm?Because you need to reboot that way (you seem to be doing everything right )
(1) Boot to cwm
(2) Wipe cache/Data/Advanced Dalvik cache
(3) Mounts & Storage format data/cache/system (NOTHING ELSE!)
(4) Install .zip on Sd card
(5) Choose options Aroma Installer
(6) Untick reboot option
(7) Reboot from cwm

Only other thing you could try is changing your base firmware/ftf I notice you are using .587 base ftf try changing to another one, although Some of the custom roms recommend that firmware
Maybe someone else as any ideas
Απ: Flashing problem
If you accidentally formatted system then you removed the cwm. Try flashing the official ftf, install x-parts and redo everything without wiping system partition.
The other choice is to unlock your bootloader and you'll never face this problem again. I voided my warranty less a month after taking my phone, I knew that any problem will come up I could fix it myself

The other choice is to unlock your bootloader and you'll never face this problem again. I voided my warranty less a month after taking my phone, I knew that any problem will come up I could fix it myself

Yep sure - but my CWM is gone when i wipe data. And I tried this: I flashed stock .ftf and installed xparts, then flashed a ROM without wipe - but doesn't boot and I cant access CWM again :/
And as I said i can't unlock my bootloader.
.. But the strange thing is just:
I even get bootloop when I install EAGLEBOYYS MOD (!) without WIPING anything! (just the recommended for sure)
That should not happen.
Why can't you unlock bootloader? Doing that would solve most of the problems you are facing. You don't have to downgrade to re root. Flash the stock kernel, install a new recovery then try again.

If I go in service menu it says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No !
If I flash stock .ftf root is gone (?) -- RootChecker says that root is gone too.

First of all - this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957
I advice you to take step by step STRICTLY.
Or you can try to root with the FlashTool but I'm not sure if it will work with locked BL.

Thats how i rooted my Arc S!
Thats the only method that is working with locked BL.
And well, i took all the steps mentioned in the second topic you posted..
If you can't get it to work (stuck on Sony logo), then flash this in flash tool and then root again and do it one more time.
It´s ICS and kernel for Arc S but works fine on regular Arc. I use it myself on my Arc.

Good luck and have fun with your superfast Arc with Ultimate HD™ ROM 2.0.

What does mean "doesnt help" ?
What are you trying to do and dont work, what is messages, what happens, did you have newest version of FlashTool, did you have installed ADB drivers, what's the error ?

solution for bad zip :
fine.. u must hav unlocked bootloader, rooted and custom recovery like cwm 6.0.4.x..
if its ok then verify your downloaded zip
..
this can be done by double clicking it on windows or in your mobile use file explorer..
if the zip contains meta-inf folder, system, boot. img.. then your download was good.. otherwise re download it..
solution for boot stuck :
did u replace oem and boot logo of mmx with spice?
try it and report..
or just flash the oem nd boot logo alone

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to install custom recovery in my Sony Xperia S L26ii , So rooted it a week ago. It is rooted for sure., I installed titanium backup and backed up everything. Yesterday I did unlock my bootloader so that I can install a custom recovery and custom rom. I followed the procedure of official way of unlocking bootloader by getting the key and unlocked it using fastboot command.
Till This everything works fine.I could boot into my device.
I flashed Twrp recovery adb fastboot. After this I wanted to backup my Stock rom. While I try to perform backup i got an error "unable to mount data" and it was unsucessfull.
I tried to reboot the system and shocked that it is stuck in boot loop now. I am seeing the word "Sony " and again it is rebooting,
I tried whatever I can by browsing internet. It seems I cannot use pc companion since I unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery.
i tried to download tft file from somewhere and tried to flash through flashtools and got an error "ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors."
Dont know what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated. All I could access is TWRP recovery . currently I powered off the phone.
Please help me in the right direction.
Regards,
Suresh

It is the "ftf" file, not "tft". Try Flashing the stock ftf file immediately again after You get the error, it will work. You get the error first time.

Thank you bro for replying and correcting me. Yes ftf file. I am downloading stock ftf from XDA forum (thanks for the member) and Will try to flash it (by pressing volume down and connecting usb cable to it) and will let you know.
Im just wondering , yesterday when I saw the phone in bootloop , I paniked and try to perform factory reset couple of times . Though it did not help in anyway. Will it disable usb debugging? If so is there any way we can reenable it from recovery or any other way?

Nah it won't affect You while flashing the ftf file. You can always flash the ftf file using flashtool by fastboot, no matter what.

Bro, You are great. That worked. It did revoked my root and locked bootloader though. But that is fine. I could do root and unlock the bootloader again..
A quick question. It all happened when I flashed TWRP recovery in this phone using this link (http://techglen.com/2014/02/12/install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-xperia-s-lt26i-nozomi/2/). I have already flashed TWRP in another HTC but it never caused this issue.
Is there any issue in installing TWRP in xperia sl ?
Should I use only CWM recovery?
If i can use Twrp , is there any good way/post or steps you recommend.?
Many Thanks again:good:

Weird. It should not lock Your bootloader, since locking bootloader has different procedure. Anyways, TWRP works fine with Xperia SL. Even My phone is a SL and I always use twrp. Which version where You using of twrp? Use this version. And flash it using the command by connecting Your phone in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-LT26i.img

Bro. I flashed this recovery and now after reboot phone is going to recovery only. I manually tried to reboot it to bootloader and it is getting to TWRP recovery only. I tried to flash a Kitkat rom which was in my internal memory as zip file it failed with error " error executing updater binary in zip" did google search on it and got to know to overcome this error I had to be on TWRP 2.8.0.1 but we are already in that code, I dont know why I was still getting that error.
So I used the ftf file again to flash . I followed the forum "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28305266&postcount=3" to get the ftf file. I could see there are ftf for ginger bread and ICS , but I could only flash Ginger bread since I am getting error when I flash ICS ftf. not sure why.
Now having stock Ginger Bread rom rooted and bootloader unlocked.
I am happy that you brought me this far. It Would be great if you could guide me to proceed further to install any custom recovery and any custom rom of Jelly bean and higher. :good:
- Suresh
I also wanted to try something before you come online . so flashed the custom recovery which you have provided and flashed cyanogenmod 9 latest nightly and current status is
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, installed custom recovery(TWRP){with your wonderful assistance} , flashed cyanogenmod 9 nightly(ICS)
All I need now is a jelly bean rom or KITKAT rom (preferable )

My Bad, that procedure installs a Kernel, and since it was not compatible with the ROM You were using, it only booted to the twrp. Copy the file to Your internal sdcard and use these following commands on Terminal Emulator app from playstore:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
where fotakernel.img is the name of Your .img file.
It was weird that You go that error while flashing a Kitkat ROM. Which ROM were You trying to flash? If You wan to flash a Kitkat ROM, then follow the procedure here, no matter which Android version You are on, no need to do anything else.
