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?

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.
For rooted .42 firmware..follow this link below..

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
I tried many many room whit kernels but stuck on bootloop every time, no way. I have never seen this problem before. Maybe bricked bootloader ?
I tried to relock the bootloader but doesnt help either.
Any help?
Ok, since you can boot into recovery can you flash you ROM.zip and try to boot into ROM? I also need some details:
- ROM you were using
- Kernel you were using
- How you got bootloop
Flashtool should work, try to recover using flashtool.

Before this happened i was using Ultimate HD 4.0 and Vengeance kernel ayame. The telephone was crashed and i didnt any backup. I tried to upgrade it to android 4.2 or 4.1 and the probleme begin I relocked the bootloader but doesnt help. I flashed it but doesnt accept any firmware, show Error flash bla bla bla Flash aborted. tried almost roms and kernels but doesnt help. I can install rooms and flash kernels, and boot up to recovery but after that is just stuck on boot animation or bootloop.:crying::crying::crying:
During the upgrade to JB, did you flash the kernel that came with it?
I assume you wanted to update to CM10/10.1? Vengeance Kernel is not compatible with JB. You need to flash UHD4 back to /system partition if you want to stick with UHD or flash the boot.img that came with the JB ROM.zip.
Do a clean install. Your phone should be working again if you do the steps correctly.
If you still have problems, you can reply to this thread or send me a PM if you wish to be more private about it.

Hello , I have arc s and i practically flashed all the custom rom successfully without fail . recently i had to re install my windows (7) and install flashtool again. Then the problem happened. I installed flashtool version 0.9.15.0 and also driver from its folder. When i flashed via flashmode using official ftf file ...its working fine . Also everytime i install something(Kernel) in fastboot , it flashes .Now i go to cwm and install custom rom(zip) with full wipe .what i get after is infinite bootloop. i never get pass the kernel image. not even bootanimation shows up.I tried everything and its frustrating that i can't install custom Rom now. Any help from pros would be really appreciated. Thanks

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

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?
Yes

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:
