Hey bin4ry how can I flash a theme zip I made with UOT using fastboot?

I tried fastboot flash UOTxxx.zip but it's asking for partition :confused:

Do I need to wait for recovery?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thintin:
Hi Bin4ary, and thank you for all you're doing to help us arc owners, it is very much appreciated and I will be donating to you come payday ;-)

I have got USB debug switched on, I've just noticed a driver problem on my laptop though (WIn 7 64) which I've now resolved but I'm still getting problems...

this is what I'm seeing:-

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

$ su

su

Permission denied

$

Has the img not copied properly, should I do it again?

Cheers

Update...now I'm confused.

I've just flashed a newly downloaded version of bin4ry's img, e.g entered fastboot mode flashed the img from command prompt and all went as expected, errased all blocks successfully, wrote new image successfully (in about 45secs) and then I rebooted and the phone was exactly as it was before I flashed it, e.g all apps still there, accounts still working, widgets as I left them.....WTF? This should have all been deleted, yes?

(am I going mad?) help...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Flashing system.img won't erase everything, do you see superuser in the launcher?

Yeah, I have superuser and it shows the two *root* required apps I have installed, titanium backup and LCD density changer. Titanium seems fine but LCD doesn't seem to work.

I only really want root access for two things at the moment; LCD Density changer and the 'no-ads' script. But I'm not having any luck with either of them :-(

- notification LED is on the side... I mean... the only worse spot the could have put it would be under the back cover...

@lollylost100:

sorry, I dont have msn and i didnt unlock the bootloader yet! but as i see, you allready got one ;)

@vegetaleb:

as a workaround for the small power button, I installed this app:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflockdonate

There also is a free version, but I prefer to give people (who to be honest solved my problem) at least a little money ;)

It works great (and you can animate the turn off with the animation of an old tv ;)

I made a swipe gesture in the down right corner (never use the corner besides for this gesture^^) and this is my "turn off button" now ;)

As for turning the screen back on: there is the nice "home" button, which works for unlocking as well ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Well the old TV turn off animation was something we got on all N1 2.3 roms, I wonder why SE took it off the Arc?

I wasn't able to unlock bootloader :-(

When i press and hold menu + plug USB, nothing appends : my Arc is just charging batterie :-(

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Well, supplies are generally pretty short at the moment - a knock-on effect of the Japanese tsunami and the closing-down of factories.

Then when you factor in that the X10 was such a poor phone, it's understandable that some devs would've held off.

So by the time SE announced that the bootloader would be unlockable, handsets were pretty thin on the ground - and by the time the unlocking site went live (which, perfectly reasonably, some devs may have held off for before making a decision) a lot of places, even large-scale retailers, are really struggling for stock.

Give it a while and I'm sure the devs will appear.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Yes but in a while SGS2 and Sensation will be out,even the Incredible S is on the verge to get root (sensation too because it will be the same security).

The only advantage the Arc has right now is that it's the only new phone with optimus2x to be unlocked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
There are rumblings that the Galaxy S2 will be locked down in some way.

As for the Sensation, it's impossible to predict what sort of security it will have - the Incredible S is more locked-down than the Thunderbolt despite their similar release dates.

And while we're on the subject of the Incredible S, it's a pretty crap phone given the price etc, I can't see why many people would want one.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Regii:
And also, some people set their preferences differently. Some prefer style over performance, or camera over sheer processing power. So if Arcs are re-supplied, I think that devs won't take all too long.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
So I guess it wasn't a sucess :(

We will have to wait alot again
