If i flash CyanogenMod 7 is there a possibility to brick my Arc?

Hi
I downloaded the repository of cyanogenMod it run gingerbread 2.3.4 so i am trying to port to Arc and try to learn and i built it, its generic and i tested it on the emulator and it worked.
now if i want to flash my Arc for a test will it brick my Arc???
i have the system.img but i am not sure if its safe to test it on my Arc and not briking it. if not then i will test and if anything happened i will reflash with Bin4ry's image.

unless you've modded it to work with the Arc hardware (drivers/ screen resolution etc) then it simply won't work.. so you probably shouldn't bother taking the risk..
There is already someone working on this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057555

yes i am monitoring the thread. but i wanted to try to miss and take a look on the files.

Chances are u could just use flashtool and it would be fine

It's impossible to brick the phone completely by flashing system.img. So you're safe.

Thanks guys.

What happened to my arc S?

Hello fellow xda forumers, i have a problem with my arc s. it starts like this, a few hours ago i unlocked my bootloader. Then after i unlocked it, i tried to flash a kernel to my arc using fastboot but i assumed it was failed since it took forever with *waiting for device* message . The problem is, after i did all those things, now i realised that my phone can't connect/install MTP driver when i plug in via usb and worst is, my home button is not functioning ! Could someone please help me fix this problem? i just got my arc S a few days ago, i'm so loss now

Reflash it with FlashTool to fix it.

Have you checked USB debugging?
For drivers, try these.
And post in the correct section.

You can flash the kernel inside the package using fastboot and the ROM using CWM.

If you want to install CM7, which you have downloaded, you have to push kernel in your device by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" inside fastboot folder.
Then boot into CWM and install *.zip file from sdcard.

Before flashing ROMs etc better get it working before and flash stock fw with FlashTool.
Also, there's a chance to kill the device when flashing custom stuff, so better do some research before starting without (much) knowledge.

edit : i found this tutorial for flashing, it should works right ? http://www.wotanserver.com/en/page/tutorial-debranding-flash-sony-ericsson

i used wotan so reflash my phone aswell after i messed it up.
as long as u can connect in flashmode and have the drivers it should work.

Hi guys,

Link works for me, but you need root for SGS kernel flasher, so it won't work.

does this work even if on custom kernel? i tried restoring before after i had bootloop using merruk's kernel..but the same thing happens.

we dont have any method to backup/restore kernel. savies cwm works fine but merruks sometimes failed to flash a zip file. if you have problem with merruk, the only way to revive your system is via odin.

Just use ODIN to flash Stock firmware. Navigate to the link and follow the guides therein posted above by manoranjan,,

yup..sure. Many user have been using it with creed. My kernel is designed to be compatible with most rom except cm.

Thanks guys..... now i can use any rom

I had the same problem here!
I use cwm too it's difficult but you need to download the stock firmware and you need to connect your mobile to your computer (download mode) it will recognize your divide find the files.from the firmware maps and click start and you have your stock rom back
