Hi guys,
friend gave me his Arc S to tweak it and I have troubles installing custom recovery, or boot it in it.
I have rooted phone successfully and then I went to install CWM with x-parts. App said recovery was installed but I can not boot in the recovery. It just reboots the phone.
Tried pressing volume down, back buttons but nothing.
Phone ICS on it.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Hi,
I had the same problem with x-parts..i found a recovery in x-parts [email protected] that can be installed from windows command line,it worked for me.Sorry,i can't remember the link i cannot post that.

earlier, i managed to brick my defy by first deleting google talk and then using terminal emulator to push the google talk back in system apps.
after flashing a stock sbf through rsdlite, i got my phone working again. my problem started when i flashed another rom (followed instructions from pay's rom tutorial). i was able to flash the sbf file, then root using superoneclick, then install clockwork mod (downloaded the apk and installed manually). i rebooted after cmw install just to be sure and when rebooting to cm recovery only a blank screen shows. i was puzzled as on m original 2.51 rom before, the clockworkmod recovery screen shows up when i reboot in recovery. i tried installing other stock roms (nordic froyo), the problem still persists (blank screen). it also seems to have affected the standard recovery (volume down+power), after showing the exclamation mark with the android guy, no matter where i press on the screen nothing happens, whereas before pressing on the lower right hand screen brings up the menu. what did i screw up this time?
i needed cm recovery to work for i can't flash custom roms without it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks
I had the same problem with clockworkmod so I installed the 2nd init recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 and used clockwork mod from its recovery menu.
I think the problem was caused by installing clockwork mod with USB debugging enabled.

so should i try uninstalling clockworkmod and install again? this time un-enabled usb debugging?
what exactly is a 2nd init recovery?do i just flash this over the existing sbf?
sorry for the questions, am still a newbie when flashing defy.
to access stock recovery when the android appears press vol down + up at the same time, my touch screen didnt work in recovery before either
once you can access stock recovery wipe data/factory reset, and flash a new ROM fresh
Hello xda members,
I own a Xperia Arc, was running android 2.3.4 and decided it was time for a new rom for the phone, i carried out a couple of steps but in the end i got stuck, and i can't get into cwm recovery to restore or install a new rom, and i cant even root the phone, here are the steps that i carried out in order to try and install a new rom( Sorry they are long):
1: rooted my Arc using a program called "Eroot v1.2", I enabled usb debug mode and connected, pressed the button and it rooted it, I managed to see the superuser app installed and i also downloaded an app called "root checker" which verified that my Arc was rooted successfully.
2: I downloaded a program called "recoverx" to install cwm recovery on my Arc and once again it was done successfully, i switched the phone off and back on while holding the volume up button and i got into cwm recovery.
3: I went into cwm and made a rom backup
4: I downloaded the new rom (Xperia Ultimate HD Rom) onto my sd card and went into cwm recovery and deleted everything such as wiping the
data, and a factory reset, and i deleted the delvik cache and the bettery stats
5: I went to the install from sd card, and installed the new rom, and at the end i unchecked the "Reboot" button, and it took me back to cwm recovery and pressed on reboot into cwm
So after this point everything seems fine and to me im sure iv carried out all the correct steps, but....
6: after this point the phone rebooted, and after the sony logo, it gave a black screen and was stuck at that screen no matter what, at that point, i could not get into cwm recovery anymore.
7: After reading and searching the internet I managed to educate myself that i was supposed to flash something called a kernel, so i downloaded a tool called sonyericssson xperia flash tool, and downloaded a kernel called lt15i_4.1.b.587_kernel.ftf and flashed it, turned the phone on only to find that my Arc was stuck in a boot loop, it was restarting after the sony logo immediatly.
8: I then downloaded another kernel called lt15i_4.1.b.431_kernel only.ftf and flashed it which cured my boot loop and the phone booted successfully, however my main problem now is that I can no longer root my Arc, and I can no longer get into cwm recovery no matter what.
Iv also read about using the fastboot method to install kernels but when i do it, it says failed as the phone is not rooted, so now i have no way at all of rooting or installing the cwm recovery.
I currently have a locked boot loader as well.
So if anyone can please tell me how i can sort this problem out it would be amazing, or if you could just tell me what i did wrong or where i went wrong and how i can sort it out, I really want to install cwm recovery and just restore my old rom back, or even install a totally new rom.
You can't flash kernels
Try SEUS or PC Companion to repair your phone
Then root it, install CWM and restore your backup
For UHD you need ICS kernel so update your arc to official ICS, then root it, install CWM and flash UHD

Hey.
Just rooted an Arc S via Eroot, installed Rom manager and CWM and booted into recovery via Rom manager.
I then wiped everything (data/cache/dalvik) and installed SuperJellyBean Rom + Arc S Update + Gapps. I then wanted to reboot the phone, but I'm stuck at the bootscreen.
I googled and searched the forums, but I have no luck. No Key combination would work (Menu + Power gets that little light flashig blue briefly, but that's all) I'm always stuck with the "Sony Ericsson" boot logo.
Can anyone help? :crying:
Did you flash the correct kernel for SJB?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
Bootloader was obviously still locked :angel:I unlocked it via Fastboot, and also flashed a new kernel (Fusion 5.4) that has CWM included.
Now I'm stuck with the Fusion boot logo :victory: Any more ideas what to do?
Is there anyway of flashing a *.zip rom via USB (Flash mode = Back button + Cable)?
EDIT: Finally solved it, though i admittedly don't really know how. Just wanted to plug the phone back into the USB in fastboot mode (menu button + cable) and suddenly i was in the CWM. I re-flashed the Rom, Patch, and gapps and everything works perfectly now.
Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
