Can I flash on locked bootloader with stock kernel?

Roland
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
No. Look in the instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24927710&postcount=1561

You must have unlocked Bootloader for a Custom Kernel like Doomkernel or ArcKnight

Hit THX if I helped:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
oh man..plz update ur rom..!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
Hi all

I'm on KA19 and want to replace the "incoming call circle mod' by the other (old) one !

How can I do this ? which is the right add-on for it ?

Thanks lot :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dbox:
Deleted, my mistake, sorry.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mrmojoman:
think 4.0.4 is released for ARC... so waiting for KA20
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
KA20 coming tomorrow testing looked very promising :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Why did you remove SuperCharger? Is it fast enough?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
@krabappel2548

Please give us to choose Incomming Call and Lockscreen Mod on your KA20 !

Thanks for your pretty job :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
According to my time it is tomorrow :D

Waiting for the new update ^_^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I installed Xperia CWM Auto-Installer with locked bootloader and after that this mod. I could choose between the stock kernel and two others during installation. Is this possible with your mod, too? I would like to keep it locked.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
My rom needs unlocked bootloader ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marcell96:
Maybe you could update your screenshots, those are from KA14 or earlier :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll update them soon :)

I've been working on my rom for 2011line and Xperia S all afternoon, but it's 10pm here so I'm going to relax a bit for the rest of the evening :)

I'll release it tomorrow :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marcell96:
Same time zone :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
KA20 is released :)

Changelog is added on 3rd post ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
there is no Arc device option to choose in the aroma installer only neo and neo v
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
neo is arc and neo v is arc s just select neo for arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
why i have to install 18 before installing 20?

can u please make the installation independent
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bern4d1:
where's that instruction? there's nothing like that in the OP.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
no xperia boot logo followed instructions on new ka user but wont work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
i'm getting bootloop...

i did:

- flash 4.0.4

- flash stock kernel with recovery

- factory rester/ wipe dalvic\

- install your rom

- reboot

- bootloop
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bern4d1:
yes, KA20 is not booting. just a blank black screen after the kernel logo.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
lets just wait for krabappel2548 to reply :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kossie12:
i'm sure he will fix it :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
he mentioned that in previous reply when i try to install 19
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
Same unsucces here !!

Maybe we first must :

"- Flash Official 4.0.4 .ftf with Flashtool"

if so, where to find it????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
Hmm. Flashing 4.0.4 FTF Is Not Gonna Help To Maybe Since The PROBLEM Is The ROM /system Maybe There Is Something Not good On The /system.. I Think :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Why flashing 4.0.4? I still don't get it :confused:

I want to try out the update but after seeing it's not booting I think I will wait for the developer to give us an answer.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
From page one :

==Installation instructions== KA Ice Cream Sony users ==

Important! Only for unlocked bootloader

- Update Flashtool to latest version

- Flash Official 4.0.4 .ftf with Flashtool

- Go into recovery and install my rom

- Reboot and enjoy

I am not responsible for damage to your device, use at own risk!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm sorry for the problems, I wasn't home this afternoon ;)

You can always flash it over KA18 or KA19 without wiping data :)

There is no official 4.0.4 ftf for arc yet so you can't flash it so just install over previous KA version ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I know it's on the first page but I thought you know why we need to flash it, I guess I will have to ask the dev about that. :D

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I guess there is for Arc, I found this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/203888
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I deleted rom from XDA Fileserver for Neo, Ray and Arc, but don't worry I'm reuploading it with:

- Neo & Neo V: Fixed build.prop

- Arc & Arc S: Fixed build.prop & AROMA models fixed

- Ray: Fixed build.prop & Touchscreen fixed

- All: fixed battery % and no statusbar issue ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
if I may ask what's the value on the build.prop that prevented the ROM from booting?!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
There should be nothing wrong in build.prop or rom, but I'm reuploading the rom with fixed build.prop now :)

so wait for KA20.1 to appear on XDA Fileserver ;)

Official 4.0.4 ftf can be found here: official ftf

EDIT: It's uploaded and I added a link to the thread with official 4.0.4 ftf in first thread in installation instructions section :)

Now it's time to enjoy KA20! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I couldn't find the one for Arc S. would it be fine if I flashed the leaked version then flashed your ROM!?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Just flash the one for Arc, doesn't matter because it's just a step to install my rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks, will do so :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
Ok, let me know if my rom works properly now :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
I'm downloading the Arc ftf, but from what I know there is a different in partitioning or something between Arc & Arc s?! so is it ok to flash it my device?!:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
There is no difference in partitioning etc, only some very small not important differences between arc and arc s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
Installed successfully KA20.1 :D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bern4d1:
EDIT: deleted. sorry but I got it works. thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
I'm coming straight from KA19 and i must say, Its a very good Rom. Everything is working properly and fast. Just two things I've recognized right now:

1. There is no 5x4 Launcher... So all the apps are ordered a bit wrong EDIT: Solved by clearing the Home.apk cache

2. The music app shows no album covers (but the widget does)

I hope this things get fixed soon:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dyepnoodle:
did you flash the 4.0.4 firmware or you directly installed 20.1?

dont seem to get why we should flash the official 4.0.4 Firmware first.

can someone clear this for me. Thanks!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
What kernel do I have to use this rom?, I installed the main ftf rom, the Kernel (to get acces to recovery), and then the rom.

It rebooted three times optimising a lot of apps, and then, when the phone booted up, all I saw is a lot of FC for every aplication.....

Some tips?.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
I have falshed it directly over KA19. Is the ofiicial 4.0.4 This "Generic Global FR" file in the thread?

On which Kernel you are now? I'm using DoomLords V5 and everything works good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Same as you, I don't know what's wrong....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] osx67:
You don't need to install ftf file

I did an upgrade from Ka19 to Ka20, without wiping data,

so got all my data working !!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krabappel2548:
I didn't put 5x4 launcher in the rom I know XD

About the album cover, reinstall the music app as a normal app and you should have them :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Nevermind... I've found for what I'm searching. Sorry :-|
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
How is d battery drain guys? Which kernel should be used to get d best battery drain?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
yeah ,..but for now only one option for this rom..use only stock ics kernel from .431 fw. no kernels for now ..:-[
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Maybe I get U wrong but you can use other Kernels like Arc Knight, DoomLords or sirays XArc with this Rom...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
specifically there are no custom kernels for fw.431 ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
But I still dont see ur Problem. You have Kernels that are able to overclock and have a good Battery live...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lordblacksuca:
This is my review for this ROM:

I'm using it with v5 DoomKernel and Wifi Modules. Overclocked to 1.4Gz, and 768Mhz when screen is Off.

The rom is very fast and stable, no data or wifi issues, I had to add the apn manually. (Claro Argentina)

I can't use the "Media Widget", it is not the images widget, it is a 4x1 widget that shows 3 icons: video images and music. I used to use it often. It seems that the apk is in /system/app/ but I can't find it in the widget selection page.

Another issue I did find, is a blank space, like 1cm between the last rows of icons, and the bottom row, (menu, caller etc). (Stock Launcher). Is there any way to modify that? or add an extra icons row in that place?

So far, the ROM is running very smoth, no force close, no reboots.

I just flashed 12 hours ago, and I would like to test a little more the battery, so far, I think it maybe is drained a little bit fast... however, ICS worths it. haha.

Thanks for this ROM!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DanhThanhTam:
I find that the rom too fast, stable. Thank for your effort!

I don't understand you. It is posted everywhere that you can only root 4.0.3 and have to upgrade to 4.0.4! You can also flash the ready to root packages (4.0.4 with 4.0.3 kernel) and after rooting only the 4.0.4 kernel. There is a thread about it...
