Hi all,
My phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader, but I tried to install this rom today:
MooDeD ICS ROM v.4.0 / xUltimate v7.0 Engine [ROM]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717
But I forgot to flash the new boot.img (new kernel), wich I had to install using flashtool. Now I can't normally boot my Arc (I can understand why), but I also can't get into CWM recovery! So do I know have to flash the new kernel wich I had to do before.. or can I get Android 2.3.4 somehow back on my Arc? And if I flash the new kernel for ICS can I flash it back to the kernel for Gingerbread afterwarts? The new kernel is based on ICS beta btw.
I hope you can help me
Everything is working very well since I flashed the ICS kernel I am now running Mooded ICS rom v30.5 without any problems (few bugs in the rom, but overcomable)

I figured that flashing ICS kernel and install the rom again worked when I had flashed the kernel I could get back into recovery again Thanks for your reply
does the DoomLord Kernel work on a ICS rom? Or does it has to be the ICS kernell by DoomLord?! on other words on ICS Roms the kernel has also to be based on ICS?
That's correct as far as I know has to be ics

I don't recommend doomlord because it's a bit buggy, but there are plenty of usefull kernells. To make ICS work you will need ICS kernell

im currently on CM7 but what's the best kernel for CM9 will CM9 boot with the kernel i already have ? " DooMKernel CM7 "
You can try the kernel that is included, or Mjolnir kernel. Your CM7 kernel will not work.
thank you just tried Mjolnir kernel works fine thank you
only problem now is wifi doesn't work

Did you download and flash the Mjolnir wifi modules in recovery?
FXP kernel works wonders.
FXP's "stock" CM9 kernel works fine (first time flasher (oh boy that sounds off)), I've ran into no kinks whatsoever. (Still looking for that touchpads as cursor tweak to be finalised though).
Scratch my last post about FXP kernel. Right now I'm running Doom's ICS beta kernel v3. My current rom of choice is Xdark ICS.
Just installed baseband .72 + the libs for it, anyway after i flashed bb72 i keep getting this "Authenticating..." issue when connecting to my own wifi
i waited a while and at the end it said "authentication problem..." any fix?
NOTE: my ROM is Arconium ICS (Stock 4.0.4 FW.431)

First of all from what baseband you have upgraded? What kernel are you using? Usualy all kernels have wifi modules asociated with them... so my recomandation is reflash wifi modeules in CWM. If you have changed kernel and before you`ve had doomkernel, you might need to reflash (from scratch) the Rom also !
Iv upgraded from .56 installed Arconium ICS and flashed .72 as well with the 72libs.zip through CWM, im using XArc v2.0.431 kernel for my arc s
and before i had CM7.2 (GB) with the default FXP kernel for it... btw i dont know if im sure or not but i think i didnt have USB debugging enabled when i flash the bb72.ftf
i also flashed the libraries for bb72 through CWM after i flashed the .ftf
Do a fresh install, and don't flash the libs. They are already included in the Rom.

do u mean re-flash the baseband?
No, the ROM..

(thread closed) fixed!
At the moment I am using CM9 RC2 official (Only change is I odexed system myself)
Seem to work fine other than autobrightness which I cannot work out how to enable.
Is there a newer or better FXP version to run or not ?
(I do like autobrightness)

I also don't know how to relate FXP versions with CM9 builds (Nightlies or otherwise).

I know it can be confusing, so it is best to flash kernel recommended by rom owner.
But, i can try to explain:
There are two (2) type of roms:
-Stock (based on sony's firmware)
-Aosp (or aokp, cm or miui)
So, you have Stock gb and ics, but no Stock jb.
For Aosp based roms, you have cm7 as gb based, cm9 as ics based and cm10 as jb based (i don't know what is miui based on)
To be able to boot rom, you need kernel that match type of rom you want to install.
Some version of kernels can boot dual type roms:
Example:
1: ics/gb Stock - can boot ics and gb roms based on Stock firmware
2: ics/gb cm - can boot ics and gb based on aosp ics gb roms
3:lupus v8 jb can boot Aosp jb and Aosp ics roms, and MAYBE that's the
kernel you are searching.
The best way is to search in kernels thread based on rom you want to install

I didn't flash recently any miui roms, do they have kernel inside the rom's zip file? Or was it inside cm roms?

dude, that makes a lot of sense, ever since i installed the kernel that i mentioned earlier i have been having random issues with some custom roms
usun lupus ics v12 720 on verizon xperia play
Gin2jelly bean rom is not recognized by my computer and wom was amazing but i dont like when developers put too much apps in it . i guess the problem was the kernel i am using
ICE CREAM PURENESS : laggiest thing ever, dont know why
[ROM][GSM] Gamer 4 [Ultimate Sony experience], this rom i wanted to install because it has on screen softkey buttons. so i could use those instead of the hardware one, but have to uninstall because the didnt appear on screen and has lots of apps.
SLIMBEAN: WELL I COULDNT INSTALL IT AND KERNEL KEPT ON BOOTING LIKE CRAZY.
NOW I AM BACK WITH THE BEST ICS ROM IN MY OPINION THE TRUE ANCESTOR FINAL EDITION, WHICH I LOVE BUT IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOFTKEY BUTTONS
but now that you clarify this i might try to flash a jelly bean kernel since google claims that jellybean is the one to beat lag.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYING.
greetings from a real newbie
Well, just to add, if you want gaming perfomance, use gb roms. Ics is stable these days, but little slower then gb in gaming. Jb is only Aosp based, it's good in gaming, but some things are still "work in progress".
Ps: we where all noobs at some point
Ask whatever you want (just do not ask for ETA)

what does ETA mean? see i am a noob xD
ICSNEO2PLAY thats what i read at the end of all your posts, i assume you use that rom
TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROM, IT SEEMS THAT I CAN ALREADY INSTALL IT SINCE I HAVE AN ICS KERNEL.
DOES IT HAVE ON SCREEN BACK HOME AND TASK BUTTONS?

Eta is asking when something will come out. Neo2play is the Rom that he made and its in his Signature that's why you see it in all his posts. That rom doesn't haven't screen buttons but it does give you lots of choice in what you use to fully customize your phone through aroma installer. It should work if you have an ics kernel but it has to be a stock ics kernel not aosp. If your using true ancestor then that means neo2play should work on the sane kernel
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
True ancestor rom, as my rom also, is based on Stock ics for Neo L (since that phone have exactly same hardware as play, minus touchpafs). My rom came out later, but i modded it more, and put aroma installer with bunch of rom options (gamers like less things installed, casual gamers sacrifice ram for the sake of extra stuff).
Some roms have osb (on screen buttons), but you'll have to search for it.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
If you really want osb then you can use markphytons nxt ics revolution rom. He removed it from xda but you can probably find a link for it somewhere in q&a section
