[Xperia Arc General] Dr.Gonzo105:
When you charge the phone, green led blinks because it goes in the flashmode.

Leave it like that for few minutes, it would switch on.

If it doesn't then download a stock firmware and flash that firmware through flashtool.

Hello guys,

I have an Xperia ARC S. I was trying to restrore my peviously saved rom with CVM, my phone suddenly restarted itself, and only the Sony logo appears, nothing happens. When I plug my phone to my computer, it can recognise it, but I dont know how to fix it.. Flashtool says its connected, but whaterver I want to do, nothing happens.

In flashmode: its trying to check the header, then

"Error in processHeader : 2 : System cannot find the specified file

Error flashing. Aborted"

And in Fastboot mode, whatever I want to choose, it says the device is not connected in fastboot mode...

Any suggestions how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

My xperia play no signal ,only emergency mode, bootloader lock , network unlock
[Xperia Arc General] nroberto13:
Hi Alejandrisssimo,

My phone is stucking at the Sony ( or Sony Ericsson ) logo.

What I did so far, flashed custom firmware with cwm, stock GB .42 and sotck ICS ( .562, .431 , .587 ), but none of the helped. Flashtool and SEUS reported successful flashing. I saw that logo changed from Sony to Sony Ericsson when moved from GB to ICS, so I assume the flashing went fine, but still hanging at Sony Ericsson logo.

Afterwards I unlocked my BL using test point method, was able to flash a custom kernel with CWM, then I flashed a custom kernel, but still hanging at Sony logo.

Would you please advise, what could I do more?

Thank you!

What was happened is: I left the phone (Arc S LT18i) and friend of mine tried to flash with ftf files (because yesterday we stuck with SONY LOG) BUT somehow he flashed "mk16i_4.1.B.0.431_ready to root" and now device is shown is EXPERIA PRO (mk16i) .....

we can't flash any other ftf files e.g. "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184))" or "lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_ready to root" - phone gets into flashmode but if we try to flash it shows ERROR and stops flushing.

Hello guys. First i must say, that i am a total newbie with rooting. So my girlfriend has sony arc s, 4.04, which was extremly slow. So i decided to root it and i did this by this manual.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219711 It rooted with no problem.

Next i decided to put this rom on it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 Version was 4.0

The mistake was that i was following the instructions of my friend, and did not folow by forum. :crying:

When i rooted phone i installed app x-parts from google play, and installed cwm, than i restarted phone and install cwm. That is all i did, and forgot for a lot of things. So now when i power on my phone it is stuck on sony logo. I tried this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUsA9HxZjJE, with this using this boot.img, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421992&page=10 and at the end, when i put command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" i get error, the device must be rooted first.

A brick is a brick unless its a phone, then it isn't!

Hi, I hope your day is going well, and this thread is still alive, for this phones sake......

Here's my problem in a nutshell, I received a brick, its defiantly a brick, it soooo brick that I cant even get windows to recognize it as a connected USB devise.:p

I get 3 RED LED flash's when trying to power on.

I get 1 GREEN LED ON when plugging in the USB Charger (Hold back button, plug in USB).

I get a black screen with the SONY flashing intermittently, and a single red flash when directly plugged in via USB.

I believe there is a broken bootloader in the phone(from what I've read), is there any rescue for this hardware?

Its only a $120.00 phone (mfg 12W24) so if its too much trouble I could pick up another unlocked with ICS, or something different.

This can go to the scrap heap as I got the phone for free.

Any ideas as what I my have to do next to breathe some life into this phone?:rolleyes:

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
This is an app you can run from your rooted phone to odex your framework and system apps (has option to also odex data/app but its not recommended). The app will automatically remove classes.dex from each apk as well. I've tested this on shift deck and cm7 ROMs also works on og evo. There's no test on the app so if you run it and you're already odex or not on a compatible ROM or whatnot; its still going to run..

Make sure you have a fresh nand before using, just in case.

Recommended usage: Press button "Odex System Framework". Let it do its thing then press "Odex System Apps" (be patient, takes several minutes to complete). While running, don't interrupt it.

Other option "Odex Framework + System Apps" works fine as well but not as safe as running separately.

"Odex Data Apps" isn't recommended, its an option I put in but I don't even use.

Always remember, you must odex framework before system/apps!

Big thanks to Dodgejcr for help with the script.

Download: Odexer version 1.0

Whats the difference from odexed and deodexed???

Blasted from my Supremely Shifted Evo
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
This will be nice.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] drob311:
Odex roms have a larger size but better performance as the odex file is its own entity and "pre-loads" data for the app. In deodex its smaller but the app has to call on the classes dex file in the apk file. Odex roms also create little to none dalvik cache. Deodex rom are "in general" easier to theme...

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] dodgejcr:
turkbot, Here is a paragraph I wrote on a dodexing wiki that I wrote explaining the difference and process of deodexing, odexing is pretty much the exact opposite but you can get a good idea of the difference between the two.

Dread, nice work man. Glad it all works well :D
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] xFilthyxJesusx:
Is CM7 nightly 238 already odex? Would anyone recommend this for CM7?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
Cm7 nightlies and stable builds are deodex. I myself have used these on nightlies without issue. Just make sure you read the instructions and know what you're doing lol. Nand in case :)
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I posted this on the Evo 4g thread, but figured it might be seen first here since this is where it was originally posted.

Good job man. Previously I've accomplished this with bash scripts. I'd like to see where this goes. Like option to search for bootclasspath and automatically use the it, instead of having a dedicated one (which limits the app). Good job :-)

Edit. If you are interested, I can make this work on Sense.

Edit 2. Man. This has me really intrigued now :-) I looked through the app. One more thing that needs to be implemented is the removal of classes.dex. Once Odexed, you don't need classes.dex. It simply takes up space.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
Actually classes.dex is automatically removed. Also, I'm planning on adding the option to select an apk to odex and thinking about finding the bootclasspath maybe by looking in init.rc but that's a thought.

Hey.. Recently read about this and I have to say. I'm really facinated..

The only problem is, that I own a Desire GSM but would really like to use this for my Oxygen 2.3.2 rom installed..

So my question is if you even could tell me what I could do to run it on my Desire or if you are thinking about releasing it for other phones...

I use Oxygenr2 hboot with 100/5/332

I gues I have to change it before 'cause oxygen rom needs 96 MB i guess...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Official Samsung accessories bought at your local phone shop are pretty damn pricey. Unless you've got money to burn, there's always better ways to get often exactly the same stuff.

I thought this would be a good thread to share how to get good deals on things...

Chargers, cables, cases, docks, mounts, bluetooth, whatever.

No low-quality garbage, I'm talking about legitimate bang-for-the-buck stuff.

:cool:

I'll start on chargers and cables - a few deals found at Amazon:

Official Samsung USB cable - normally $19.99. Amazon has it for $1.82 with free shipping:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XXUOQI

I bought one - it's genuine Samsung, just like your stock shortie.

Official Samsung car charger/cable - normally $19.99 or more. Amazon has it for $5.82:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UB279A

I bought this too - also genuine Samsung.

The best for last - probably the best deal I've found so far-

Official Samsung wall charger + USB cable. Normally $29.99, Amazon has it for $3.28 including free shipping:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049IE70I

I bought one of these too to have a charger at the office - also genuine Samsung.

Hate that your USB cable is too short? Doesn't reach from your wall plug to your nightstand or dresser? Extend it by 6 feet - $2.17 and free shipping:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00182CIB8

I bought one of these too - not genuine Samsung, but does the job nicely.

All this stuff cost me about $13 grand total, including taxes and shipping.

What deals do you know of?
