Hi i did go to Xperia Developer thread but it said i can only ask questions in General forums.
So here i am i really need help, i rooted my Xperia Arc and almost nothing is working, i can't turn on the Wifi, mobil network works for a second then the phone shuts down mobil netorks, keypad, etc.
When i start my phone i get: unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped, when i try doing something else i get alot of "unfortunately" messages. please help.
I followed every instruction for rooting i have the 2.6.32.9- DooMKernel, almost all apps are gone and the superuser app have 0 apps in it.
Hi zobar,
There are General & Q&A forums for the Xperia Arc and you'll get users there with the same device, whereas this is a general forum for anything to do with any phone, regardless of make/model/os.
Do some reading in both the General & Q&A sections in this forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=962
If you can't find an answer then start a thread in the Q&A forum, as that's where all questions should be posted. The only place you can't currently post are development forums, but they're only for releasing development work anyway.
Hope you get your problem sorted
Try rebooting

Rebooting might help. Or you can restore an old ROM.

Straightforward answer
Before a more experienced member rightfully closes this thread I will try to help you.
Download flashtool. A simple google search will sort that out.
Install it. The program will have a picture of a lightning bolt as its logo.
Find the stock firmware for your device. Search for that in google.
After downloading the firmware you should see it has a .ftf at the end.
Go into computer then flashtool then firmware. then drag and drop the .ftf into that folder.
Close the folder.
connect your arc.
Open the flashtool program.
Click the bolt icon in the top left.
select the name of the firmware you downloaded in the left panel. it will highlight blue.
Click ok (bottom right).
A box will appear telling you to put your device into flash mode. Follow the instructions it gives.
Once this is done the box will dissapear and firmware will flash.
Finally device will reboot and phone will be back to normal.
Hope it works for you. :good: Please thank me with the button if you appreciate my efforts. Please post in more appropriate places in future and someone will answer quicker. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.

Thanks alot im going to try it out but, wil that make my phone normal? not root anymore?... if so that kinda sucks, i wish to have a rooted phone.
yes it will make it 'normal'. From there I suggest following a youtube tutorial about rooting properly. This way you will avoid bricking your device again.

DO you have any good new karnels? or any guides please? i followed one and bricked it so maybe the guide i used was bad? :S
-
Did my unbrick guide work? SO your device is ok now? I hope so.
Here is a mini guide about phone terms. Sorry if you know this already.
Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).
A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.
Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.
Unlocking your bootloader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(make it useless like a brick) This is why I did not do it until a few days ago - because I was scared.
If I was to recommend a rom, I would say cyanogenmod (cm for short). They focus on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version.
You flash kernels with flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked bootloader to do this.
If your device is fixed now i would say google cyanogen mod 9(ice cream sandwich) or 10 (jelly bean). CM10 is less stable (not everything works) than cm9. but cm10 is more fun. make sure you look at guides for your device and not any random one.
Sorry for the lecture. Thank if you found this useful. I appreciate it. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.

if you do not understand anything or want to ask anything else please feel free. Also you can check out videos of roms for your device on youtube and choose one you like. then look for tutorials on xda or youtube.

Hi almost everything worked out in the end just one problem left, the mobile network after rooting it tunring on and off like its droping the signal and after min it regains it, its a constant loop with network off and on.
Try switching on airplane mode and then switching off. This will restart your phone's radio and may fix this. Otherwise I am not sure. Great to hear it all went well

Thanks everyone for being such undersanding community i finally managed to do everything i wanted, i installed Google play from Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps
Im loving the Cyanogenmod 9, its so cool
Just fyi I think he forgot to wipe data possibly, this can be the cause when the roms are 'half compatible'
Also, it wasn't bricked because it actually turned on

do you have an idea where to find the offline charging animation of starmobile units? mine got messed up when i flashed an offline charging animation from some other forum. now my phone wont charge when it is turned off.
Offline animation
Need to check which one do you need....
Did you flash the rom of boot animation through CWM or using sptools? If neither of the two, then what tool and how it happened?
Btw, If you plug the usb in the unit while its off, does it indicate a red light?

Hi chleoj,
I potentially bricked my phone. My emmc is unmountable. Do you mind uploading your backup Stock ROM? I'm getting pretty desperate. I wasted a whole day already on this and I'm still getting nowhere.
Edit: I scoured the forums already, and I've concluded that it's irrecoverable via cwm. My only hope is with SPFlashTool img. Please please please help me!

It will definitely solve your problem, I was asking if you can access your CWM, because I also have unmodified nandroid backup...
I would suggest that you might want to try that first...
just put that nandroid backup on /sdcard/clocworkmod/backup...
Uploading now...

Thanks! I sent the thread starter an email, requesting a custom EBR for SMDiamondv7. I hope he would kindly have the time to make it.
Btw, There seems to be one tiny wrinkle with my restoration. When I go to settings, under the Storage menu - I can't seem to get the Phone Storage to mount. It keeps on getting unmounted?
Edit: Fixed the PhoneStorage problem by mounting my phone on my PC and formatting the internal storage [Fat32] using Disk Management! It's all good now!
Hi! I too can't reply yet through the development section of the forum [new-account limitations. Your files from mediafire and tut have been very useful. Your custom firmware is really great though there is still some minor glitches (usually the screen led turning off but not often just in very occasional manner). I really had been hoping you could lead me to the solution to my problem.
My phone does not show baseband version as well as imei. I've tried so many solution from diff thread but most does not work. I haven't been able to see this thread before only the 2 major dev. (which are rooting and the flashing).
I had failed to restore a backup of my old rom and system/user files because ignorantly at fault, I formatted the sd card though CWM, (i just re-mounted the rom zip to flash rom). But then, it seems flashing alone will not restore baseband and imei.
I'm thinking if it could help me restore baseband version and imei using a backup from another diamond V7 device (maybe you can give link).
I would try it by tonight using the system & userdate img from your mediafire page, and will post back if anything positive or negative came out. I'm crossing my fingers to fix the baseband and imei problem. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

No luck for today. Using SP flash tool to flash system.img and userdata.img did not fix the unknown baseband and imei. Hope there was actually other way to fix this conflict. Thanks xda-developers.com and more power!
Visited the store last saturday to fix my unit due to imei issue. Luckily, under warranty, no fees charged and issues fixed. After having flashed the stock rom from manufacturer, I immediately made a backup of my rom and flash the modded S4 UI by chleoj.
The flashing was a success but the issue persist. I now have my imei but network connection seems off. I can connect to the wifi router and even through mobile data connection but cannot access the web. I am not sure what was the cause so I decided to re-flash the backup of stock rom.
Using the stock rom, no issue was noted. I can connect successfully to a network and even access the internet. I also notice that there was some system changes which was a different baseband version, it is now MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.13 which was used to be MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.8. Just maybe, the different baseband version can fix issues experienced from the modded ROM with S4 UI.
my starmobile was also bricked when i use a repartition tool, im not able to go to the homepage it will just stuck on starmobile logo. i tried to use the spf tools nothing happened even if i installed all the drivers.. it just says error on scatter file something..im kind of frustrated on this one. hope someone will help me on this.

Note : my network is all well, honestly i just downloaded other file from google drive too, and everything is perfect.. so i thnk its not the net.
This is what i want to download .. (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746658) <-- remove parenthesis
PLEASE HELP ME... I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND ROOT MY PHONE AGAIN..
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION
is it possible to reroot my phone from this procedure.
Well even if you've lost root on your current ROM, that doesn't matter as long as you have a custom recovery like CWM. If you know how then just flash that ROM, but being as you have no device specific forum you should post your question in the thread you linked me.
If you didn't understand any of that, then follow this guide HERE. Good luck.
the one you link to me is for CM Flame 2.0, my unit is Blaze 2.0, is that the same ?
im sorry for being noob but i dont know have any familiarity on the term ur giving me . you mean if i have my CWM on my Recovery mode .. i can just click that and then *bang* im rooted again with my system being reset ?
Thanks for your time and effort on helping me ! i'll expect a reply. TY

The zip is just a generic superSU update zip. It sounds like you have a recovery in which to flash the superSU zip anyway, so yes you may just be able to follow that guide. It won't break anything if it doesn't work though. If you need any further help then you should post in the Android Q&A section. Good luck

I can't give you technical help (read the 2 stickies), although I'll answer you once and say yes it helps: I highly recommend you read up on stuff abour custom recoveries, kernels, etc. To gain better understanding. I've given you a guide to follow HERE and directed you to the correct place to post further questions HERE. If you are still in doubt despite reading carefully through the first link then you should post in the second link where there are many more helpful members who may even have experience with your exact device.
Sorry if there's somewhere this is already posted, but I can't seem to find a stock rom of 6045 model anywhere on the site (or at least one that I can flash through twrp). If anyone can provide a copy of their stock rom a one, that would be greatly appreciated.
I derped my rom and not I can't the the incoming interface when someone is calling.... and I can't make phone calls cause I somehow deleted that app.

Easiest solution is to use the Mobile Q software to reset your phone to factory condition. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/idol-3-mobile-upgrade-app-download-t3182517
Failing that if you just have to have a twrp backup.....

Thank you so much for the help man. I tried the first link you pointed out but I had issues getting it to work. Now with the second link I saw this before was unsure about the links. Are they actually zip version of the rom I can just flash or do I have to turn then into a zip? Not really sure what to with it, lol. Thanks a again for all your help. I really appreciate it.

The instructions in the first couple of posts explain everything you are asking. If you search, I'm sure someone has also written step by step to getting the Mobile Q software working.

Hi there @WillDaBeast69. I actually purchased one of these and want to root it and such. I'm gonna be in your thread a bit trying to help you find a way and also help me and everyone else in the process to find a solution. If a solution is already available then hopefully someone else will post it.
AFAIK - currently I don't see anything regarding the L14 which is the 64GB version.
What I'd like you to do first is get back on the stock firmware. Unless you know where to find one, I'm going to say look for an UPDATE.APP somewhere for the L14. I'm going to do some searching as well. If you find it please post the link. If you find one that works and it's not on an official site (Honor site) then I'll also download it and upload to a central location that everyone can get to it.
Once you're back on the stock firmware, I'm going to ask you to try and get a TWRP image booted on the device. Not installed but booted. Once we have that up we can proceed.
*EDIT*
So after doing a bit of digging I found a link in someone's sig.
All thanks go to @Dominikrod for his sig which lead to this post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70396400&postcount=547
Full thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post70396400#post70396400
But before we can proceed, we will need to get your phone back up and running if it's not already in a working state.
*EDIT*
So after following the instructions I got one of the L14's I have up and running rooted. The other one is giving me some trouble because I can't unlock the bootloader for some reason. Keeps telling me the code is wrong. Once I get it up and running I'll make sure I post pics of the process.
Confirmed working on EMUI5 - Android OS 7.
THANK YOU!!

Once you're back on the stock firmware, I'm going to ask you to try and get a TWRP image booted on the device. Not installed but booted. Once we have that up we can proceed.
*EDIT*
So after doing a bit of digging I found a link in someone's sig.
All thanks go to @Dominikrod for his sig which lead to this post.

But before we can proceed, we will need to get your phone back up and running if it's not already in a working state.
*EDIT*
So after following the instructions I got one of the L14's I have up and running rooted. The other one is giving me some trouble because I can't unlock the bootloader for some reason. Keeps telling me the code is wrong. Once I get it up and running I'll make sure I post pics of the process.
Confirmed working on EMUI5 - Android OS 7.

Hi there @WillDaBeast69. I actually purchased one of these and want to root it and such. I'm gonna be in your thread a bit trying to help you find a way and also help me and everyone else in the process to find a solution. If a solution is already available then hopefully someone else will post it.
AFAIK - currently I don't see anything regarding the L14 which is the 64GB version.
What I'd like you to do first is get back on the stock firmware. Unless you know where to find one, I'm going to say look for an UPDATE.APP somewhere for the L14. I'm going to do some searching as well. If you find it please post the link. If you find one that works and it's not on an official site (Honor site) then I'll also download it and upload to a central location that everyone can get to it.

Hoping you're still monitoring this thread or get a notification. I also just purchased the L14 and was disappointed to find that it is "special" as all the guides, firmware, etc that are available are for the L04. I was wondering what progress you've made since this post? Have you had any other issues, flashed custom ROMs, and if so, how did they work?
Also, have you had any luck finding current update.app/zip files for the L14? I found posts directing to an app called Firmware Finder which seems to pull up multiple copies but also read that those might somehow be locked and result in a brick/soft brick. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what's been happening to me, I think Huawei may be clamping down on allowing persons to unlock their bootloader and root the phones. I've not been able to get into the site at all - I've managed to root my wife's phone but mine.............nothing. Nothing works. I got the info directly from their site and it just won't work. I emailed them and they say that they don't assist individuals with bootloader unlock nor do they allow it - which seems to be new policy.
The instructions that are in the link I have works. As long as you got your bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP, SuperSU and root. If you go through the instructions in the link and need step-by-step assistance then just post back.
Error on FRD-L14 and B388

I try to install all the TWRP imgs on the links, I´m using the FRD-L14 B388, but after I reboot the phone after flashing the TWRP recovery pressing VOL + and VOL - , I received the message "Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted.... Your device is booting now..." after some minutes it goes to EMUI recovery instead of TWRP.
Is there something I can do it to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced!

This is normal after you unlock the bootloader. Unless you re-lock it you won't get rid of that error AFAIK. Small annoyance to pay for full root.

I also got honor 8 FRD-L14 version rooted with Magisk and stock EMUI 5.0.1. You should try Dolby atmos audio mod from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342 and also Google dose for Magisk to improve battery life.
Best wishes sir.

Any chance that step by step assistance is still on the table? I'm revisiting the notion of unlocking and rooting but your previous post and the threads linked to it have me quite a bit lost. Do I have to go all the way back to build B162 to get it to work properly? I know my way around ADB and have unlocked every phone I've had going back to the first HTC Evo but all the different versions of this phone has me all turned around. :/
A walkthrough with direct links to files used would be greatly appreciated if you have the time.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Not a problem. I'll see what I can do. Will need a little time to compile the info.

Apologies. Vehicle issues that I'm sorting out have taken up my time.
So first thing we're gonna do is this. Go to this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post70396400#post70396400
Download the files there. You have an L14 and this thread I've linked to has files for that phone.
Next you want an SD card. An 8GB card should work. You will also need a hash checker like the one in the link below.
http://getmd5checker.com
Once you have all of those post back and we can proceed.
I used this guide to install TWRP on my FRD-L14 without a hitch:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
Is there a certain step you get caught up on? I just reverted back to stock after being on a custom ROM for a day so it is fresh in my mind.
This is the TWRP I used:

@dsEVOlve - you can try the link that @Deemo13 posted. I'll still be here to go through the step by step process. If you're available tonight I will also give you remote assistance in getting it done if you'd like the help that way.
https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/
Go there and download version 11 if you'd like the remote assistance in getting this done. If we can agree on a time then I'll ask you to PM me the ID and PW.
Let's go through and see if we can get you setup.

Did you flash SuperSU or magisk? If SuperSU, did you flash it or simply install from Play Store?

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I think I've got the process now and the files needed to root. I was just wary before because nothing I came across specifically said it was for the L14 variant.
Just trying to figure out if I want to go the SuperSU or Magisk route. Any suggestions?
And the first link you provided utilizes build 360. How do I go about getting the latest build to flash? Firmware finder?

I did not flash or root the phone, so unfortunately I can't give any advice on this front
