Open Flashtool and select Fastboot mode

In the next window, select 'Select kernel to Flash'

Browse and select the .img file (LuPuS-JBv6-ARC&S.img). This will flash the kernel.

Also, move the wifi modules zip file (anzu-LuPuS-jB-v6-wifi_cm-ti-wlan_signed.zip) to SD card and then flash it via CWM

Reboot and enjoy LuPuS kernel

Did you unlocked the bootloader?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsody10:

that is a good question

I might not have

which lead to the next question how to find out and how to do it if is not

If you don't know, you didn't unlocked. You'll have to search a little, but a good start point is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

It's your call to unlock or not... Unlock bootloader may void the warranty plus loose the DRM Keys (if you unlock via Sony Method). But unlocking is the only way to install Custom Kernels.

If you choose to keep it locked, you'll have to use only roms that are compatible with stock kernel (GB, ICS).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsody10:
Thank you

I'm reading about the "unlocking" procedure

once is done can I revert it ? like flashing rom or something like that ?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsody10:
OK I have unlooked the bootloader

am I supposed to "re-root" the phone after that ?

since I'm using "4.1.B.0.587" will need to downgrade again then

use DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su

then reflash "4.1.B.0.587"

then fastboot lupus ?

thanks in advance for your help

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda0:
Since it's unlocked (and I don't remember the steps, so I dunno if you have to reboot or not), just follow the instructions from ela703's post to install the kernel.

You just have to pay attention to the fact that this lupus kernel is designed for JB roms (eg: ParanoidAndroid 2.57). Probably comes with root and CWM, so you won't have to worry with root and CWM anymore.

(You only need doomlord's toolkit to root phones with stock kernel/locked bootloader).

After you flash the new kernel, just keep pressing 'vol down' and you'll enter in CWM with the .zip of the rom of your choice in your sdcard (again: if you use this kernel, look for JB roms). Thenceforth, follow the install instructions in the corresponding thread of your rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsody10:
have installed lupus and also ParanoidAndroid seems to be working ok so far some problems with the camera but I think nothing mayor

I dont feel particulary faster thgovernor is set to 134 and 1401 or something like that

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedgess:
Camera is a problem in all JB ROMs. But it works so thats the main thing at leasst it does on CM. Intellidemand2 is probably fastest but drains battery, smatassv2 is best for performance and battery life.

For full working camera you should go back to ICS, I also got a kernel for that. To your question about relocking bootloader why would you want to. If you want to go back to STOCK just flash an FTF via flashtool.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsody10:
Hello

thanks for the info

I'm going to evaluate it at least for a week to get the real day by day with it

I definitely agree with you about smatassv2 is the best for performance and battery life went from 22 hours or so on ICS to 2 days 9 hours ( 32 % left ) at the time of writing this post

I might try your ICS kernel and see how different they are

about the re-locking was only to be be sure could be undone.

at the moment the performance is brilliant I only miss my 16:9 pics that I cannot take and a few "minor" things but then there must be some sort of compromise I guess

Thanks again and open to your suggestions

You and your hatred of ics are hilarious. JB is built right on top of ics it's not even a new build just added features and a version number change. I bet if they went back and renamed fk23 an ICS build you'd hate it but since it's labeled JB you love it lol.

On topic: maybe this will cut down on the repeated question of "how do I update to fl24?" But I really doubt it. Seems recently theres been a huge influx of seriously illiterate n00bs who flat out refuse to even scroll down the page b4 clicking [new thread] or [reply] I stopped answering the same questions over and over and now just wait for them to figure out for themselves or someone else to parrot the answer for the umpteen millonth time :banghead:

[Nokia Lumia 800] voithdriver:
I see 45 people have read this query, with no solution so instead I will ask is this normal, does everyones inbox empty by itself after a short period of time.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Venstar:
Try this: go into email settings -> synchronisation settings -> Download email from - then select a longer time.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] malvo26:
Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop? Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available. The sent messages are stored locally on your phone and not in your normal sent mailbox with your e-mail server.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Venstar:
"Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop" Yes

"Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available" Depends on how you setup email account, if you use IMAP instead of POP3 then your inbox would be available across al your devices.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] voithdriver:
thanks all for your replies,in the synchro I have it downloading from anytime, though it made no difference, regarding the above quote, I was not downloading my mail on another computer as I wanted all mail to go to my phone and stay there as it was a dedicated addys, I lived with the deletions until I desperately needed a recent received email, and found it had already been deleted, so in the end I had to add the account to my home comp to download the mails so that I could save them, since I have started to download them to my main comp, it has not altered the time taken to delete its always a few days.

[HTC Droid DNA] shojus:
Ya, this is some BULLSH**!! Crazy what the government is so interested about... Pathetic...
[HTC Droid DNA] fifthstreetjammer:
It's nothing to do with our bootloader unlocks and gaining root access. That piece pertains to the carrier unlocking, which is fine because if company A subsidizes the phone for you, then they don't want you to take said phone to carrier B, and have carrier A no way of trying to gain back that subsidy in service. If you owned a food truck, and handed out a coupon for $5 off, but the individual found a way to use that $5 off on another truck, you'd be pissed. Small analogy.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
That still sucks and lessens competition. I own the phone regardless of whether it was subsidized or not. The monetary penalty for breaking the contract compensates the carrier for their subsidy. We don't need this restriction.

Telecom companies in the US are a classic example of government failure. We have a bad competitive environment on the wireless space, and a horrible one in cable and Internet. There we basically have unregulated monopolies that do an excellent job reaping us off.

The US got a lot of things right, but the telecom sector is certainly the weak spot.

[HTC Droid DNA] shojus:
This is just NOT good period. No matter if it's bootloaders or root or just unlocks because these greedy ass carriers get stuck with debt from a customer that does not pay his cancellation fees... Ya right! These companies are charging us out are asses for these devices in the first place and then get heavily compensated by the rest, on charging you more than your house payment every month! This is just one more thing that is being taken away from us...It's hard enough trying to get some of these companies trying to unlock your phones even if you paid your contract fees now it's gonna get next to impossible to get YOUR phone unlocked after your service is done. No it does not affect any of us right now but things like this start and then they think they can do whatever they want next year... The percentage of people that pay their bills are FAR greater than the people who try to scam so this is just another law to protect the rich corporate companies in the US so they can have more rights to take more of your money. Okay, maybe I went overboard.... :p It's still crap no matter how you look at it.

[HTC Droid DNA] uppon2:
I wonder how this will restrict people importing phones internationally and running on different region carriers. Would encourage even more grey importing!

Either way, this has always been a problem to some extent, but never permanent!

Completely off topic but I feel like discussing this. I just had a heated discussion with my niece who is 16 and always uses my spare SGS 2 over her iPhone when she is at home, because she likes it better. At school she told me she uses her iPhone because all of her friends have iPhone's because "it's what everybody has" were her words.

Apple only create 1 phone. I am SERIOUSLY amazed by the chickens that continue to follow the outstretched hand of apple, like a farmer with feed for his poultry. You can lead them around all day and they never seem to worry about variety, change or diversity. It's actually either a really dumb move or a really intelligent move to cater to everyone's needs with 1 phone. Luckily for them, Apple started a trend early on which snowballed due to mass marketing, the fantastic app store (only 1 phone for developers to tackle with very little drastic updates) and peer pressure based purchases for the likes of young and old!

I am a seasoned manager in this industry in a company called leetgeek and I can tell you right now that there is a very technically uneducated population, at least in my country as to what their devices can actually do. I just wish people had a clear understanding of the options available by researching and learning for themselves before making a purchase rather than following suit from their friends and family. Even when I ask them if they would consider another option, they already have their mind set. I honestly look at an iPhone only for it's simplicity, games and overall solid exterior. This is all some people want, and maybe they don't want to go any further than this and I can certainly accept that. My gripe is not with this type of person, it is with the people that don't know they could do a wider range of suitable tasks and potentially more with a different device but are too stubborn to hear it.

Is Android better than iOS? Well that is 100% a user based decision but for me personally, but obviously not for a lot of other people as they haven't bothered to learn. I can't for the life of me handle a little screen with home screen app drawers sitting their drinking a hot chocolate, telling my business friends oh look at this. I can synch my devices together so I will buy an iPad as well. Oh this is so amazing it's such a cool device!

[HTC Droid DNA] CastleBravo:
If it actually comes down to it, the courts will throw it all out. There are a variety of reasons that allow this law to be circumvented for most purposes (for example, jail breaking can be done without modifying the original software, as it can usually be done by simply changes data values stored, and not the software itself, plus the nature of most of the software being based on open source software that forces the copyright holders to release certain rights; this is the reason HTC has to give us the kernel source, among other things). Add in issues over people's rights, etc. and there will be no way to enforce it. The courts have, on multiple occasions, ruled in favor of the jailbreaking community saying that copyright law can't place such restrictions on what users do with personally owned devices, and the courts have the final say over anything the library of congress says.
