As mentioned my home button isn't working after installing doom kernel. What i did was unlocked the bootloader after rooting my arc and then install doomkernel. Everything worked fine till i realise the home button isn't working but it can be used to unlock the screen other than that long pressing won't bring up multitask and it refuses to go to the homescreen with the press.
Anyone can help me with this?? Much appreciated!!
i read once about this problem..
Fixed by installing cyanogenMOD on phone or
second option, relock bootloader and back to stock and original SE ROM
Solved. just had to flash fresh FW
Hello, i have just registered to the forums, but i already follow xda for a long time. So here is my problem, i have already installed "ICS JJ's Hybrid Rom" on my Xperia Arc S without trouble at all, but now that i want to try a new rom i'm facing a big problem with fastboot.. I have tried to go FastBoot pressing Menu/Back button and plug in the phone, i tried to reboot in fastboot by X-Parts/Rom Manager and so on, but no luck untill now, and i dont know what is the problem since i don't even get blue light when i try to do it.
Yes i have installed flashtool drivers for the phone, basically green light appears instead of blue, the phone goes on black screen and after 5-10 seconds it disconnects.
I don't know if you guys need more information or not but i think im doing everything correctly, because i have tried countless guides and videos.
I would really appreciate some help if possible, thanks.
Have you actually unlocked your bootloader?
as i said, i have [ICS]JJ's Hybrid Rom on my Xperia Arc right now, so yes i had to unlock bootloader to install it.
JJ's hybrid works on locked bootloaders too. Have you flashed any custom kernel

If you get green light, you are turning your phone into flashmode and not fastboot. Hold down Menu button and then connect the cable.
I know that i enter fastboot with holding menu button but it just doesnt work, the only way it works is with Emma (Sony FlashTools) and it appears green light as well when i do it.

tried to make a reboot by holding power button + volume up for few seconds ?
If nothing works, you can always use flashtool.
Restore the phone to stock ROM, make sure you download the ftf of your region!
All the best :good:
Did you push the yellow button on the left side in the SIM/MicroSD Card compartment until the phone vibrated 3 times. 3 times is necessary for a reset.

Already try to do it, but the flahtool me does not recognize it, is as if it did not have anything connected, equal with PC companion or sony udpate

I would try the Yellow button to do a full reset, 3 vibrations.
Also, if nothing is charging or detecting, it could mean your charging slot is faulty.. And your phone is completely discharged so it can't power on. Don't know, just an assumption.
It happened to me. Push the yellowbutton until vibrates 3 times, at first it will vibrate once but keep pushing. Reinstall the .ftf via flashtools and have a nice day.
pressing the yellow button had always worked for me when i thought it was bricked....but the other day after a failed kernel install, just pressing the yellow button did not work! after trying a few times, i finally tried holding the power button at the same time as the yellow button. it worked and vibrated once, then three times as normal. after that i connected to my pc and used flashtool.

your bootloader is locked or unlocked ?
Hi. I have an R800i which I rooted some time ago. Up until recently it has been running ICS with a Lupus kernel. I then flashed 2.3.3 UK ftf from here and it seemed to work. It prompted me for an OTA update and I started it. After downloading the update and rebooted, the phone displayed a black screen and a progress bar (nothing odd, seemed as though it was updating) and after a couple of minutes it turned off. Since then I haven't been able to turn the phone back on. I would press the power button and all it would do is briefly flash the green LED and vibrate, but that's about it. If I would hold the power button it would do that every couple of seconds. I cannot access the recovery menu either. It may be worth noting that by connecting the phone to my PC it would start in flashmode (blank screen), so I tried reflashing the same (and some other) ROMs using Flashtool but with the same result. Up until now, flashing ftfs through Flashtool seems to be the only thing I can still do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Latest Leedroid + clumsy kernel are buggy, it will freeze the phone randomly, so reflash Leedroid but with stock kernel (it's in the Leedroid install menu)
Is there any other better custom kernel ?
Thanks
