Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!
trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.
Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

Hi all, I am new to this phone and have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and installed lupas kernel v6. I have some questions, and have tried to find answers but am coming up empty. 1. My wifi will not connect, if there a fix? 2. I can't download anything with the stock browser, it immediately fails. Fix? 3. Is there A good daemon to control over clocking? 4. Any opinions on which room to install? I'm currently on 2.3.3 stock. Thank you so much, I am no noob but new to this phone and look forward to being an active part of this community.

There aren't many gb roms for r800x they are all stock based but if you want ics or jb I would recommend cm9 for ics or slim bean or pac rom for jb. A gooz stock based gb rom is gin2 blur but id wait till the 22nd for that one because there will be a new update

Yeah I tried that, had the same problems though, and also every time I rebooted my user installed apps would start disappearing, leads me to think some of my problems must be kernel related. I want a gingerbread one, hows cm7? Does ask the gaming stuff asstill work with it?

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

Try using doomkernel I'm using it now and the wifi works fine. Also don't forget to wipe everything after flashing a new kernel that might be the problem.

That was probably it, and by wipe e every thing, you mean data, cache, and dalvik? Does wiping data remove recovery? And I need to do this AFTER I flash the kernel and not BEFORE?

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

Wipe system is under mounts and storage. It says format system. But you don't need to do that.

i have just purchased an xperia play r800x from my local retail, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, not verizon, my phone is stuck on 2.3.3, and i really want to update to ICS but im really not sure what to do, i paid the $15 fee to get my bootloader unlocked from alejandrissimo, nice guy i might add, and im really needing some guidance on were to go now, any help would be awesome, and im sorry to jump this thread but i really didnt think the forums wanted 3 or 4 post of noob questions like mine, i dont want to mess my phone up and i dont have insurance on it, thanks in advance
First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.

I have an R800x with unlocked bootloader. I've flashed the Lupus GB kernel and I'm looking for a good gaming ROM. There don't seem to be too many choices for a GB rom on r800x with CDMA service. I'm guessing COLA or Darkforest are my only choices? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Your Rom looks great! Quick question. I am guessing that the google navigation app is removed in the Rom? If so can I back it up with Titanium and restore it in your Rom? Thanks!

Qualcomm has decided to stop further development for driver for Snapdragon S3 chipset, so Ion will never get update to 4.2.2 official firmware but you can use only 4.2.2 custom rom if you have unlocked bootloader
