.587 update

My Arc S has an SI number of 1254-1958 which is up to date with .562 according to SUS so I can not update to .587 by SUS. If there is a way to change SI number I can try that since my phone is already rooted. If only changing kernel is enough I can also try that either. If not then I should get .587 rom and a quick guide for how to flash it.

Thank you all, especially TopperBG.

Edit: By the way 2shared is good for me :D

I've given it a try, seems fine when you only use one browser tab. I guess additionally if you've having problems, just make sure there isn't anything else in the background running, and you have the CPU governor on performance?

-Edit-

Just tried it on performance, you should be able to use 2 tabs, possibly 3 depending on the content of the site, some sites have horrible JavaScript, Disquss on mobile websites are horrible, I use techno buffalo and that's a pain, along with a few others.

GooglePlay Missing+No Wifi

Hello!

Phone: Xperia Arc S (LT18i)

Region: China

Problems: GooglePlay missing/won't open. Accidentally upgraded to ICS and can't use Wifi.

My GF's phone doesn't have GooglePlay and she's been trying to get some apps on her phone for a while now. She's just been using some preinstalled stuff that game with her phone since she got it. She has a "PlayNow" store which is all in Chinese so I can't really navigate it, but as I understand this is Sony's store and not Google's.

I've downloaded two different apks for GooglePlay, one last night from XDA and I also tried this a few months back and probably got it from here too. Both times GooglePlay installs after opening it immediately shuts down. No force close message. Literally like the app is being sniped by something.

I tried a factory reset thinking it wouldn't hurt (she had so much stuff that wasn't being used but running at once anyways, her phone was really slow). Still wouldn't work.

Tried the repair function and got ICS. Then rooted it by flashing a slightly older kernel and running a root program, then flashing the latest kernel again. Still nothing.

Now Wi-Fi isn't working either. It gets stuck in this loop where it connects then disconnects immediately.

What steps would I need to take to get GooglePlay working as well as WiFi? Would using a ROM fix my problem? Preferably something with Chinese/English

I also want to add I'm not familiar with rooting and such. Flashing the ROM was easy enough because the instructions were straightforward and the program was there. I think these are universal instructions for flashing a ROM right?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing

So following that, I would just use the files from here on the ZIP and be done?

Hello , I have bought an Xperia Arc second hand and I've upgraded the software to CFW Ultimate HD. It's been working fine for a month , but now the microphone stopped working. The only way a person would hear me in a call , or camera would have audio is if i use the microphone from the headphones..

I am running Ultimate HD 2.0. Would it be because of software or hardware related? I tried to install with CWM Recovery the new 2.0.3 but it says can't mount /sdcard ...

Try installing Xperia Ultimate HD, with advanced stock kernel, both are available in the thread in the development section, here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920207

If you can get both installed, which is fairly straightforward, then it should be fine. Just follow instructions carefully, especially if you are new to this. Guides can be found in stickies in the general discussion of this forum.

You may need to unlock the bootloader, then root it, flash the advanced stock kernel, then fastboot into the phone and flash the ROM. Those are the steps needed when starting from scratch.

Help needed for lt15i

PC OS: Ubuntu Linux 12.10 Gnome-Shell Remix (GS3.6)

FLASHTOOL: version 0.9.9

DEVICE: SE Xperia Arc (LT15i) - anzu - UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

KERNEL: LuPuS v9 stock ICS .587

ROM: Xperia UHD 2.0.3

INSTALLATION STEPS TAKEN:

> flashed stock ICS .587 generic

> flashed kernel, reboot to CWM

--> wiped data/ factory reset

--> wiped cache/

--> format system/

--> format data/

--> format cache/

--> wiped dalvik cache

--> installed Xperia UHD 2.0.3.zip

--> chose: First Install, Gaming Engine, Xperia GX with settings, Xperia ARC, nexus boot animation,

no additional apps, Unlocked Bootloader.

--> AROMA installer says that the installation was a success, unticked the reboot option.

closed installer back to CWM.

--> installed correct modules for the kernel; ti_wlan and the modules

--> reboot system.

the phone did boot up properly, my first impression was that it's way snappier compared to the stock ICS .587 rom even after being debloated and overclocked so kudos to JADER for that. The only problem i had with UHD 2.0.3 is that whenever i try to turn on the wifi it gets stuck on the "turning on wifi" state and there is NO wifi icon appearing on the status bar. So i reflashed everything over again (using the same kernel BTW) thinking that probably it's because i should have flashed the modules first before the ti_wlan, but still, the wifi just won't turn on properly.

so i tried using different kernels, RUSH v10 ICS 587, advanced stock rom, with the correct modules for each kernel, still no wifi. I re-downloaded every kernel and checked their md5 checksums:

if you guys are wondering why i had to put those md5 sums up there, i was hoping that those who had succesfull installations would be kind enough to cross check those with the kernels that they have used.

finally, just to make sure that it was not my wifi hardware that is causing the problem, i flashed the stock ICS 587 and everything worked, including wifi, so it's not my phone.

could somebody please tell what am i doing wrong with my installation... please. I really like this rom and i believe it is such a waste to just let it go and stick to the stock one.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyge:
very strange, this is the correct method to install it. i have only tried to install it on Windows, never have worked with Linux but maybe something in Linux is messing something up in kernel flashing. just a guess. try again with daily use option
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winterbitten:
I used the suggested Advanced Stock Kernel and the Wifi module provided with it. Would you recommend another?

Update:

I flashed the ROM a second time after I wiped the data, devlick(sp?), and reinstalled the Wifi module. When everything was said and done I still couldn't use wi-fi. So I decide to mess with my router settings.

First, I was initially using WPA2-Auto. I switched it WPA2 and ticked the 802.11g box. The phone then connected so I decided to see if it was one or the other causing the problem.

I think unticked 802.11g and it still worked. (Still said WEP)

I then switched it back to WPA2-Auto and I believe it worked. (Still said WEP)

When I forgot the network I and entered the password again it went back to Showing WPA/WPA2 PSK and did the obtaining IP loop.

I checked my router log and it showed this

3day 07:51:06	wlan0: A wireless client is deauthenticated - (MAC ADDRESS)

3day 07:51:07	wlan0: WPA2-AES PSK authentication in progress...

3day 07:51:07	wlan0: A wireless client is associated - (MAC ADDRESS)

3day 07:51:10	wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - (MAC ADDRESS)

3day 07:51:10	wlan0: WPA2-AES PSK authentication in progress...

3day 07:51:10	wlan0: A wireless client is associated - (MAC ADDRESS)

Next time I looked at the phone it said something about a bad signal so I clicked it and tried to reconnect. It did that obtain IP dance for a little while longer then connected. This time it's listing my encyption as WPA/WPA2 PSK instead of WEP.

I turned Wi-Fi off and back on, doing the loop of Obtaining IP/Saved/Authenticating again.

When I remove encryption altogether it can connect. Even after turning Wi-Fi on and off

No problems when using WEP. Switching Wi-Fi on and off causes no problems.

Seems to be a big problem using WPA2 at least for me. Is this an ICS thing or a ROM thing then?

quick question(unlocking bl)

I'm on 2.0.3 (locked bootloader) and want to unlock thru official sony unlocking.

Do I need to flash a stock ftf rom first or can I unlock from UHD?

So when unlocked in... UHD, data wil be wiped, will UHD still work properly or am I gonna get bootloop?

if in bootloop, can i flash a custom kernel with cwm so i can recover my uhd backup?

Not in bootloop: if unlocked, it is still the stock kernel, I assume and then i can flash custom kernels, right?

Please can someone give me some short answers

Thanks

I think you can unlock the bootloader without changing Roms.

You can flash kernal while on uhd. It should work I did it with doomslord kernal without problem. But each kernal and roms have different requirements and install instructions do read them before you flash.
