Idiot Proof root guide help step 29 download link not working

Hey in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004
Is there an alternative download link for w.e that file is on step 29 because the link dosent seem to work for me any help would be great!

You might want to watch out.
That guide has an old ROM that it requires you to flash. The old version has SD card problems.
Make sure you get an updated ROM... there are some with the OTA update.
Otherwise, I don't know about the update.zip file.

Thanks for the Info I just want to put a aosp like Rom on here after I am done but I need to finish it says I am rooted is that zip the recovery thing? Ugh this is frustrating. Lol
EDIT: the link says recovery-clockwork 1.8.1.7 is there another place to dl that file

Look around this and the DEV forum. There's a sticky somewhere with the list of ROMS and more information on rooting and whatnot.

Can someone make a flashable zip/tar/md5 file for the new CWM recovery img?

Like the title says, can someone create a flashable file from the .img of the new CWM release?
If possible, someone could create a thread in the ATT development section (and keep it updated?), with the new CWM recovery files(flashable versions)? It would be helpful to a lot of people I guess. I would have done it if I knew how to do it :silly: . I would really appreciate if someone could do it. Thanks.

[Q] Flashing radio problem

Hey guys, I've been trying to flash a new radio, but somehow never succeeded.
The attachment is a screenshot I've taken....
What am I missing??

You are missing an old recovery compatible with that flashable zip...
Extract the radio img file from that zip file and flash via fastboot.
via xda app

Sorry for asking dumb questions.... but how am I supposed to do that???
I am new at this

Use google and the search function on xda. Im on my mobile so its hard to search stuff for you. Besides its been answered before. Also check the link on my signature. I believe it has the instruction in there.

1. Pull out the radio.img file from the zip file.
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot flash radio radio.img
4. Reboot the phone.

Help finding the kernal image

Hello
I am trying to install a custom rom and kernal on my xpeia play for the first time. My plays boot loader is unlocked fine and I've downloaded all the software that is required and so far have been using fma965's guide.
I get up to the 'Extract the Fastboot package to a folder and copy the CKernel.img file to the same location." I just can't find a .img in the kernals zip folder .
The kernal I have downloaded was from cyanogen mods website and is titled "semc-kernel-msm7x30-ics.zip"
Thanks

The kernel wont say .img just copy the file that looks like a whitepage ANd it probably says boot in the name.

Rrrr Thats not correct. Search for CyanogenMod on xperia play development thread use that u can download the ROM-(zeus or zeusc(r800x)).zip inside you will have boot.img thats what you want.
Ok now to explain what was wrong. CM dont officially support our devices so FXP are the ones who build CM for our us. They use CM source and everything else as they are members. Our device cant flash kernels as .zip only .img. You can also find custom kernels in the dev thread if u dont want to use FXP's kernel..
