How To Install JJ's HYBRID ROM

Hey guys,
I had an Xperia Play for sometime. I taken the plunge to install a custom rom. I have tried before but I keep failing as my phone gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo.
Basically I want to install JJ's HYBRID ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1573547
It says to boot in CWM which I did and do a full wipe and flash. I wipe then install zip file.
I am using 4.0.2.a.0.42 rooted with CWM and bootloader unlocked. I am also using stock kernel. mainly because I dont know how to install doomkernel because I dont know what is fastboot and how to use it because majority of the posts assume you know about this.
Also I want to try to jokawild rom but it tells me to flash to 0.62 baseband. but I cant root it aso how do I install cwm. Am I missing something does doomkernel come with cmw? sorry im a noob
Please help!
thanks in advance

I think DoomKernel comes already pre-rooted
There's a thread somewhere about installing and using fastboot and flashtool. If you can't find it, try Google
First time you use it is nervewracking but as soon as you get the hang of it you'll be able to type the console commands from memory

It's never easy to really brick an arc than a galaxy tablet, had the mainboard replaced. flashtool really a very good tool to revive an arc.

Calm down then try this 1 by 1

Hi, Janto
For me, just flashing a custom rom it can't block u getting into cwm. It may stuck with the Kernel's logo/bootAnimation but should passes the CWM notification first.
If you could provide info(Name & version) of your kernel & rom, it would be better for us to help you bring your expensive device back to life:fingers-crossed:
My suggestion is:
1. Use Fastboot to flash a good kernel (Anyone from the development section), then CWM, thought you know how to do a flash again
2. If above step not works, download flashtool (The top thread in the development section) and a complete tft files, then do a flash using the flashtool, this should give you a brand new phone.
BTW: you r BL or not? search for X-parts if u r still locked.

[Q] Very stubborn Bootloop

Hey there guys,
I've got a bit of a problem...
I have an Xperia arc S here, Locked bootloader. CWM installed through flashtool.
I tried to flash a rom (Yes, with compatitibility for locked bootloader). Ofcourse I made a backup, then wiped everything before flashing, also formatted the required items.
However, the phone gets stuck in a bootloop, I also can't boot into recovery...
So, any of you guys got an idea, something possible through fastboot? or PCC?
Thanks in advance.

If your phone's bootloader is locked then the best solution would be to repair it with PCC or SEUS!
Or you can manually flash the appropriate ftf file using flash tool!

Trying PCC now, got some bad experiences with it though using an xperia sola. Lets hope for the best.
First time doesn't work, would anyone be kind enough to provide a link to a ftf file?

PCC finished it in the second round... Thanks mate.

Install CWM with X-Parts from Play Store.

If your kernel screen comes up then its not bricked. Just flash the stock ftf. Search for it as r800x stock 2.3.3 ftf. Download flash tool and flash it with that. Its self explanatory. Also Zeus is for r800i you need to use zeusc though it should still have booted (only service wouldn't work). After flashing ftf try again and make sure you clear data/cache/dalvik and format system from recovery before installing. Also it might just take a a couple minutes to boot. Don't worry about bricking the play. Flash tool will fix almost all software problems. Usually the only way to mess it up is physically.

[Q] Can't enter CWM MIUI v4 ROM

Hey.
Very new here to this forums and i certanly hope you can oversee if i posted this thread in the wrong place.
I have a locked bootloader on my Xperia S and when i found a way to root and install a new rom i thought, hey... why not right?
So i Tried to install MIUI v4 [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139152]
So i do, and end up in MIUI bootlogo (bootloop) flashing between sony start logo, miui, and then reeboting to do the same thing again.
I dont know how to get into CMW and if i can install another ROM.
Are there any flashtools that work with a locked bootloader?
Android : 4.0.4

Thank you guys!

Use PCC to recover your phone.
In fact, all flash tools can be used on locked bootloader.
