Hello,
I have a problem trying to flash a new kernel. I'm currently on android GB 2.3.7 with DoomKernel GB. So I tried to update to ICS (MooDeD's ROM) but that didn't work, so I figured I had to update to the DoomKernel for ICS. I did everything right following the instructions but in the command, when I try to send the boot.img, it takes FOREVER. Literary 1 hour, and it isn't even done yet! I checked if it was recognized with the test command and it was responding so idk what I'm doing wrong. Please help.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, MooDeD GB 2.3.7, and DoomKernel GB, PC is Windows Vista.
Thanks.
Restarted your P.C, rebooted your Phone?
On my old pc the android sdk didn't work so i just used flashtool. You can use it to flash a kernel too. Just select fastboot mode and then flash kernel.

EDIT: Oh great, after I updated my kernel to a ICS one the MooDeD ROM still doesn't work. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm on my new ICS kernel now, after a few hours ._. But when I install MooDeD's ICS ROM it still doesn't boot. I just get a black screen after the kernel logo.
Flash a clean sony stock ics rom. Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again.

I mean a .ftf file that you can flash with flashtool.

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

He has bootloader unlock and might be better to push Bin4ry's .img file.
Well yea that way would save his data but if it sent work obviously flashtool send me the cm7 over ill try n boot it aswell

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

would you post the outcome here when you done? thanks
It bootlooped always on SE bootlogo.
no surprise there then!
1st. I didn't create this ROM, just asked Kenia1234 what to change and did it.
2nd. Kenia1234, Chiledog, Dexter_nlb, and myself WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE!!!!!!!!
This still has the button mapping problem and the auto rotation problem, If you know where a kernel(reoriented for SENSE on this device) is or someone that will make it ask them to do so, and post a link!(PLEASE!!!!!!!!!)
I want to thank Kenia1234, Chiledog, and Dexter_nlb for making this beast ROM, hope to see more progress made!
If already on MIUI or CM7, just reboot into recovery and go to mounts and storages>wipe system, data, datadata, cache> flash GalaxySense.zip and enjoy!!!!!!

b-eock: I just want to get some clarification on the installation process. I believe the installation process for getting to MIUI changed a while ago where you no longer need to flash the cm7-initial kernel, efs backup, etc. You just have to be on 2.1/2.2 bootloaders and have CWM installed then flash the MIUI zip (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
Would this process not be the same for GalaxySense or am I missing something?

Which kernel? When you flash MIUI, it includes it's own kernel correct? So would it be the MIUI stock kernel that you need?
And about backing up EFS, if MIUI no longer requires that step, as in it does this as part of the flash process now, why is it necessary to do it before flashing MIUI? Just trying to get clarification. Seems kind of strange to me.
This states using the new CM7/MIUI flashing procedures as well.
I will try this in the night!

GalaxySense has existed since April for the Galaxy S i9000 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044637). This is simply a port to run it on the Captivate (which has also existed since April or May by following the Escapists instructions).
Projects like this is why an AOSP based kernel is so important. AOSP removes all of Samsung's proprietary issues and allows any other ROM that has been ported to AOSP to be ported to the Captivate. CyanogenMod, MIUI, and GalaxySense are all using the same sources to build from..
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

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.

I dont actually understand. What happens when you boot your phone in GB?
It booted like any other phone but if I do a reboot or shutdown then I got a bootloop I can only boot then if I wiped data via stock recovery.
But I tried install CWM that worked
Then I flashed aurora but the only problem is that I cant connect the signal falls down and I keeps saying connecting

Didn't work. It think its because of the GB version I installed. I dont know witch one it was but I'm going to try another GB version and see if that was the problem
