B. Install custom kernel

========================

. With phone still power off, connect ur phone to pc, but with holding the menu key now (the right one).

. If ur doing right, the led phone will turn blue and in the flashtool screen you will see that ur phone is in fastboot mode ( this is the mode u will often use if u wanna change different custom kernel).

. Click flash button (lighting icon). Choose fastboot then ok. A menu will pop up, choose 'Select kernel to Flash'

. Open ur desire custom kernel (file with this extension -> *.elf / *.img / *.sin ).

. It will automatically install after u choose to open it.

. Close it after finish

note :

. Choose kernel that have recovery mode on it. ex: CWM (Clockwork Mod) or TWRP. (Mostly user is familiar with CWM)

. In my case, i'm using Vengeance [ARC/S/PRO][1.32] kernel now. I choose Anzu, because my device is Arc. Also don't forget to download modules.zip, it's for wifi.

. There are many good kernel available for arc/s user like Lupus, Rush, Adv. Stock Kernel, etc, choose what suit for you

I have an issue with the whole B point. When I try to do that, my flashtool tells me that the phone needs to be rooted. Even though it is rooted, perfectly working, CWM installed but I still can't install a kernel. What can possibly be the issue? I am using LT18i (arc s) running on stock 4.1.B.0.431, GB 2.3.4 software (downgraded for root).

Any thoughts?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attitude.SSJ:
The root in this case means boatloader status... Your boatloader must be unlocked to flash custom kernels.... So first unlock and then flash...

Ok thanks i'll give a try there :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danvid113:
So I've had issues, but now found the way how to do it. Sorry for not linking the sources, but I can't remember where I got them from.

There is a lack of working links, so I re-uploaded everything, follow this post to flash, root and change the system.

1. So first of all, you'll need to download the files.

- Stock ROM, lt18i_4.1.B.0.431_ready to root.ftf (link)

- Rooting program, DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip (link)

- Ultimate HD (link)

2. You'll need a working Flashtool (downloadable from their website: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php)

3. Flash the stock ROM (tick 'No final verification').

- place the stock ROM into the the firmare folder of Flashtool

- to flash, open Flashtool, click on the lightning icon, choose the ROM you downloaded

- connect your device in flash mode (follow the instructions of Flashtool)

- wait for Flashtool to finish

4. Unzip Doomlord's rooting program (this is v1, it was the one that seemed to be working) and run the *.bat file.

5. Switch your device on, connect to the internet and open Google Play Store. Download RecoverX.

6. Open RecoverX and follow the instructions (give Root permission!!). Find your device and install CWM.

7. Reboot your device in recovery mode (when the first Sony sign appears keep pressing back numerous times, until CWM appears).

8. In CWM mode, do the following steps:

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe cache partition

- Mount and storage -> Format /system

- Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache

- Advanced -> Wipe battery stats

- Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD

- Follow on screen instructions on AROMA installer. It is important that you DON'T choose the advanced things, because it might brick your device. For me it doesn't want to accept the bootanimation, you should test your device. I would recommend choosing the smoothest settings and changing it later (developer's extensions and applications).

9. Don't tick Reboot, go back to CWM, switch off the device and switch it on manually.

10. If it doesn't work, you have 2 options:

- If you can enter recovery mode, you repeat steps 8 and 9.

- If you can't, repeat steps 3 - 9.

Best luck for all. Don't forget to hit the Thanks :good: if it helped.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
1. There is already a guide in front. No need to vomit blood writing this since it will most probably be ignored. Maybe they will need the links, but not the guide.

2. If you used RecoverX, you will notice that you cannot enter recovery after you flash a new ROM. This is because RecoverX installs a recovery on the /system partition, which is wiped every time you flash a new ROM. You don't have to be scared about it, you have two options:

- unlock your bootloader(if you can) and flash a custom kernel with a recovery. This will ensure that the recovery is still there even when you switch ROMs.

- reboot into the new ROM, root and reinstall RecoverX. Only for those who cannot unlock their phone's bootloader.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND those who can unlock their bootloader to use the first method since it is easier. You can still use the second method even if you can unlock your bootloader, but you're missing out on a lot of things you can do with an unlocked bootloader. Well it's your choice. I'm not your mom.

Mate, the ultimate rom includes CWM. I did NOT want to unlock bootloader, this is a way around that.

I don't know why you did this, but you should have just hit Thanks, I spent hours uploading a working link for all the files so people won't have to search as I did.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmp:
I think that after moving you need to go into definitions, sounds and chose the notification sound again. You will probably find two with the same name and you should chose the one in the system folder. Give it a try.

Xperia V walkman

Just a nood Q.

I want to install Xperia V walkman, which is said to be working with this rom without any problems.

However, I have already installed (flashed with CWM) ThilinaC walkman which has "download music info" and "media credential" error problems.

How can I uninstall these and install Xperia V walkman?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arclove:
What walkman mod can I install in your rom ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
It doesn't. It's kernel related. The ROM itself does not have CWM. You can check the Development section and most custom kernel should come with a recovery. The ROM.zip itself has no kernel if you checked. It's just a zip file with /system and a few other files. That was why Jader has a list of recommended kernels to use.

Sorry. Just because you uploaded a file does not mean I have to click thanks. For one, I don't use UHD anymore. Two, you don't just ask anyone to hit the thanks button. I am not obliged to click that thanks button just because you spent hours uploading it. I also spent hours and days coding and fixing bugs but nobody says thanks. So live with it.

Full wipe help

Hi guys, i just want to say this rom is awesome!

I'll been switching between roms for a few months ago and every time i made a full wipe using the lupus kernel recovery, but i feel like my device ins't wiped at all, for example i flash my phone in my work, when i came home, it automatically connects to my home wifi, it supposed to i should type my wifi password right?, also the last rom i used had problems with the walkman app (music stops playing suddenly, but notification bar still present as "playing" status), so i change to this rom but the walkman issue stills.

my question is, how i can perform a complete wipe? i mean a total wipe

Hope you can help me!

About WiFi passwords: they are kept/saved in your Google account, so if you wipe your phone, install a ROM and sync with your Google account again, the passwords will be restored, even if you wipe the whole phone.

I think it works that way.

I know that this a little stupid question, but.... :)

Will you update this rom to JB or Kit Kat maybe?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
This question has been asked many times, and the answer is no since Sony did not release stock JB and will not release stock KK for 2011 devices. If Jader wanted to update this ROM, it will be based off CM since that is the only JB available for 2011 devices. You will not get the same experience from CM ROM when you compare it with stock ROM.

Format /System and X-parts

Hi Eagleboy,

just a question before making a disaster :)

I read:

HOW-TO INSTALL ROM

For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash any Kernel for stock ICS.

For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app

Place ROM on SD-Card

Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)

Power off phone.

Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Mounts and Storage --> Format /System

But Also :

X-Parts -> It is not 'true' recovery per se, since it installs in /system, but all the CWM functions should work

if you delete/format /System you lose it

So the question is about locked bootloaders guide :

is still right this process ? I mean, if I/we follow this procedure > Wipe Data/ Factory and then Mounts and Storage --> Format /System

will we get again "virtual" CWM installed by X-Parts inside system ?

Or maybe unlocking boot is mandatory ?

Thank you very very much!

Byez

You will lose CWM and you have to install x-parts again

Sent from my Arc S powered by Ultimate HD 5.0.1 and LuPuS v16 kernel
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaPro55:
so :

1) Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)

2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

3) Mounts and Storage --> Format /System

a) Do you mean that, step 3 is possible because CWM is running in RAM so

no issue if I delete folder where is stored ?

b) What about something goes wrong now ? CWM won't be there so we won't able

to boot again and restore previous rom, am I right ?

4) Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats

5) Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD

6) Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.

7) After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM

c) "reboot in CWM" is not possible immediately because we have to install CWN again first,

right ?

d) so we have to normally reboot, use HD ROM to install CWM and then ?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdomek:
Preface:

---

I had locked bootloader before, so I had to install UHD with x-parts. It worked fine (well, not the first time, my mistake, see reply to question b) ).

I have to say that with ulnocked BL it's way simpler.

Now, your questions:

---

a) yes, it stays in memory;

b) if something goes wrong, then you have to start it all over again, i.e. reflash stock ICS ROM (via flashtool), re-root, reinstall x-parts.

c) yes, it is possible, aroma installer quits to CWM;

d) after reboot from CWM, if it all goes well (fingers-crossed) you'll have your UHD working. X-Parts must be installed again if you want to do nandroid backups or flash newer ROMs.

Good luck!
