[Q] does nandroid back up the kernel?

I'm going to be doing a quick test on stock rom, but I'm using cm7. If I do a nandroid backup, does it get the kernel too? Or will I have to flash kernel again before I restore?

No, because of how the play is partitioned, it doesn't.

I was just about to post this very question because I knew the Play is different from other phones in that way, and I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case. Thanks!

You can flash the rom but the 'phone' features wont work.
Yes you can go back to stock rom via nandroid back up or FTF files w/ Flashtool.
Why would you want to? But yeah it will work but not as a phone.

Xperia Play custom kernels

I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)

The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?

Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

Order doesn't matter, just phone won't boot if kernel and rom are not same android version, fixable by doing the other steps

[Q] Why do I always get bootloops?

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?
Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I m running 6.1.a.2.50. Where is it possible to get a bugless CWM?

I don't know. CWM for locked bootloader hasn't been updated for a good time.

How do other people with locked bootloader use CWM?

Don't worry, framework-res was the problem, not cwm.

You can. All you need to do is exclude baseband

No unfortunately it won't work. You will get a sin header error. I tried back when miui Aussie came out.
