[Q] [REQ] .42 FW for flashin with CWM - Xperia Arc Android Development

Hi guys,
I'm not sure this is a section or not sorry for that.
I Can't flash anything with Flashtool. Even 4.2.0. It says Unplug your phone, enable usb debugging and unknown sources. I did it already and its still not working.
I searched entire web for this problem, tried million things but still samething.
My bootloader is unlocked and phone is rooted. After i unlocked my bootloader.
Phone acted really weird. Like Home button not working, camera not working etc.
So i flashed CM7 kernel with fastboot and CM7 in recovery menu. Not it's good.
But i want to use SE Stock ROM. But i can't flash it with Flashtool.
So is there any .zip file for Stock ROM that i can flash it in Recovery Mode ?
Or, Is there any other way to flash Stock ROM without using Flashtool.
Thank you for reading.
Best regards.

I've flashed Stock SE .42 with Wotan Server.
Thread can be deleted.
Thank you

[Q] Optimus 2x bricked?

Hi,
We have a problem with an Optimus 2X.
1. We rooted the phone
2. Installed ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager (Flash recovery option). Successful window appeared.
3. We boot in recovery mode from ROM Manager.
The phone now hangs on boot at the LG Logo. There is no way to boot in recovery, and there is no way to do a normal boot. (Tried to boot with volumen down and lock buttons pressed, and without pressing volume down...)
It's like there was a flag that forces the phone to "boot in recovery" or something like that.
So we can't boot the phone in any mode...
We also tried smartflash, but nothing...
Any idea? How can we restore it?
Thank you very much in advance...
I would try the procedure at this link: add "http:" infront of my links, for some reason i'm not allowed to post outside links.

It uses the nvidia flash tool and will allow you to flash a clean stock rom without booting up the device or going into clockwork.
The stock rom version that you can download on the link above will do fine. After you've flashed the stockrom you can reinstall clockworkmod. If I were you I would do that using these instructions:
//android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/335479/10-may-3-0-2-8-clockworkmod-recovery-for-the-lg-optimus-2x/
Basically all you need to do is attach the phone to the computer, make sure usb debugging is enabled and double click the install clockworkmod.bat file found in the extracted zip file downloaded from the link below.

After that you should be able to flash all the custom roms you want. I hear the latest Cyanogen nightly is pretty stable!
I had the same problem and question a couple of days ago...
Mine also when trying to install CWM..
Follow this link and flash with NVflash and You should be good to go again
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
I also gave up on the CWM flashing from PC and paid for this app in the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.modaco.twoxrecoveryboot&feature=search_result
Its .99 pence so not to bad... remember You NEED ROOT for the CWM recovery flashy thingy
After all flashing I just went with the stock ROM with the 0606 upgraded baseband
Works ok now (flashed with smartflash)
The 0606 baseband ROM can be found here:
Happy unbricking!
Thank you very much to both!
NVflash did the trick and I could fix the full brick!
Now I don't fear anything... nvflash can resurrect it!! xD
Thank you very much!!!!!
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH GUYS!!!!!!!!
i was messing about for about 5 hours because my apx driver didn't successfully install but i finally found one and got it to work.
i am so relieved. I can sleep easy tonight
once again a huge thanks.

Bricked?

I just tried to install pacman rom with CWM on my xperia z, it seemed to get stuck on install so i powered off, now its appearing to boot loop and showing the sony logo and nothing else.
Any ideas while i get googling?!
If you can still get into CWM, flash another rom. Else use flashtool an an original ftf
I cant get into CWM but can connect in fastboot and flash mode with flashtool.
Can i flash a custom rom this way?
You can flash stock roms & kernels, you'll have to reroot etc again but your phone will work again
There's plenty of unbranded software's for both 6603/2 in the development sections.
I use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202685
Stock rom installed thank you!

[Q] Device gets crazy after flash Doomlord kernel

Hi! Some months ago I flashed a kernel from here in XDA. The kernel was from Doomlord, to install CWM Recovery. But the device came into infinite boot. Then to solve it I flashed a stock rom (12.0.A.2.254) to see if the problem was solved..
Solved problem, the device came to normal (at least the infinite loop was solved).
But after flashing the Doomlord kernel, even flashing a stock rom, when I receive a message and visualize it, the LED stays turned on, and off only when rebooting. When I reboot the device, date/time are lost. The date in the top bar is updated only if I turn off the screen and then turn on again.
I tried reblock bootloader and repair from PC Companion. I tried flash the stock 4.3. I tried flash only the stock kernel. But nothing solves the problem.
Someone can help me?
Sorry for my english, I'm brazilian
You CANNOT relock bootloader while in custom kernel.
Unlock bootloader again, go in flashtool and flash the stock ftf, doom kernel isn't stable yet, use only stock or try another kernel...

Do you have the link to some kernel .elf that I can try to flash? If I unlock BL again and flash some stock .elf the problem could be solved?
Yes, but I recommend to flash a whole stock rom ftf after unlocking bl...
I passed through this situation too

I unlocked BL and flashed a stock (12.1.A.1.207). The problem continues. I tried too flash a stock 12.0.A.2.254 after unlock BL. In 4.1 the only problem is the date that is lost when rebooting. But flashing 4.3 stock all the previous problems continues. After receive messages, even if I read it, LED still on until I reboot the device. Date is lost after reboot, bla bla..
Maybe the problem is not the kernel that I flashed some months ago. What do you think? Some idea?
Guy, try this rom, and say if the problem continues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...nality-update-xperia-performance-max-t2895506
Unlock bootloader to use this rom
It is a great rom
If you don't like custom roms you can try the stock I'm using

PLZ PLZ hlep ME GUYS...

My Z3compact is in continuous lopp after I installed theme from here.
I slready have rooted my phone by this method
Since after booting after the theme installation phone is in continuous loop.
TWRP was accessible and I did all sorts of wipes: dalvik cacche, cache, internal memory and everything but still same. Now I even lost twrp as well and my phone is booting like hell and hell heated up as its battery isnt removable.
USB debugging is also disabled.
I want my phone back to normal.
How to repair it?? Can I directly flash a new firmware via FLASHTOOLS???
PLZ PLZ hlep me...
You have to push volume UP and power buttons to turn it off, and yes, you can install firmware via flashtool. Just download a stock .ftf and flash it!
search for the right version firmware (D5803 or D5833) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706 , download it and follow instructions on how to flash it
Thanks a lot guys.
When I rooted my phone following THIS thread in step 27 to 33 I created a pre-rooted fw, so can I flash that directly or only stock will work?
I'm ok with any as far as my phone functions properly.

If you don't have access to a recovery anymore (TWRP, Philz or CWM), you must flash via flashtool. You have to flash a .ftf file not a .zip. I think you can also use the option "repair" in the PC companion tool.
I flash default firmware using flashtools and phone was back on track.
Within trwp what I did was erased system as well hence may be phone lost the whole OS.
Now I rooted again and back as ever.
Thanks all of you for prompt help.

Problem Flashing Offcial Firmware

Hi, Dear xda members
Last week i soft bricked my Sony Xperia Z c6603
After flashing modified kernel, i lost everything
I couldn't reach recovery even couldn't flash one with fastboot(as my device was not recognized)
I tried flashing offcial firmware through flashtool. It succeeded flashing
But After reboot i had bootloob and the ROM didn't boot
Finally I had a solution to get my phone fixed. Here's what i did:
*Reboot to FlashMode
*In flashtool I flashed TWRP Recovery in FlashMode
Now all custom ROMs are working but when I flash an official and other ROM's based on official, I'm having bootloops
Tried to wait. NO result
Could you help me with it?
P.S the modified kernel was made by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605/
When i softbricked my phone I tried to fix it according to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rick-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-t3215134

I have several problems too including not being able to run stock anymore. (endless black screen after experia logo). I tried flashtool (latest stock via xperifirm), Sony's flashtool. Companion didn't even want to flash (UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo), and left me wondering wether something is corrupt.
I've been running CM's for a while now and was wondering why NFC was not working. Not sure if it needs an updated firmware or what.
Other problem I've seen is that "fastboot flash recovery" always gives an error. "fastboot flash boot" works (this is how I install TWRP).
Can I try zeroing mmcblk0 or would that brick it? (does it really need to have a TA partition to accept boot connection? How does Sony init it anyways?)
I think I have a mmcblk0 backup from after unlocking (DRM lost though) but perhaps that will give me a somewhat clean situation again. Or perhaps I can compare it.
Edit: dd-ed my old mmc backup and now Xperia Companion didn't give an error anymore, did a factory reset, and after a long wait of the blue waving animation, I got it to work.
Even NFC firmware update started after rooting and deleting /data/ucf folder.
Now I want to go back to Nougat xD
