You must likely just need to flash the modules, no worry, its easy to do... here is a link to download the modules.....
Wifi Modules
Just move the .zip to your sdcard, then go into CWM and install from sd card. enjoy.

Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't work.
I haven't installed the CWM, i have an other Recovery mod, is this a problem?

Not sure if it makes a difference but trying using the CWM Recovery, that what i use. Im also using the GBTweaked ROM. Maybe the wifi modules i linked arent compatible with your ROM. Are you on R800X, R800i, R800a, or R800at? I think the modules i linked are only for R800X, so you would probably have to find someone with the same version as you and have them back up their wifi modules and send them to you.

kernel
I've an other question: i'Verlag flashed Thema Doomlord Kernel andere now i Santa Tor flash an other one, when i flash one, in cmd it works but when i reboot the phone, i have The Same doomlord Kernel. How can i change that?

Ain't sure if I understanded you right but if you flashed another Doomlord Kernel they probably have the same splashscreen.

kernel
Sorry i have some problems with writing on the phone Keyboard
When i look in settings>phone Informations, it shows that the kernel isn't changed... when i flash, there arent any problems, but it didn't work ...

And it isnt an other doomkernel, its a diffrent one...

[Q] How do I flash a custom kernel & is it safe?

Basically the title says it all. I'm a noob at these things and don't wanna risk bricking my phone. I want to try flashing a custom kernel that will allow me to overclock my Play but I don't know how to..
My Xperia Play is rooted and has unlocked boot loader already and below are the things shown under 'About Phone'
- R800i
- Android 2.3.4
- 4.0.2.A.0.69

The most popular kernel for xperia play is doomkernel, i have also tried it it's very good. There is an description in the doomkernel thread how to install it.
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium

It's pretty safe if done right, I was in the exact same position you were up until a few days ago, I spent a good few hours reading and I was running DoomKernel with Gin2ICS, clocked at 1.8. Now I'm just wanting to put that superchargev6 script on

Many people chose to do it the hard way. But teh best way it to use Flashtool

It's pretty much staright forward. Download your desired kernal and ofcourse after installing the programm head over to it's directory files and inside the drivers folder. Run the application "Flashtool-drivers.exe" and go on and install everything. (can take a long time). Then after run the programm without your phone hooked up with USB debugging on click on the flash icon (the first option from left) chose fastboot mode. Click on Reboot into fastboot mode via ADB. Then press "Select Kernal to Flash" and chose the desired kernal you have downloaded and after a couple of seconds you are good to go. Good luck!

Doom Kernal is the one of the best one out that and the chances of you bricking it is really very low

Will the "DoomKernel" kernel work on a .69 build? I checked out the thread and it only says for .42/.58/.62 FW.
Also, can I flash this without a custom ROM as well? I'm not really big into custom ROMS but I do need an extra dose of speed, hence the need for overclocking.

It will work on .69 and the kernel works with all stock roms.

If it's not too much trouble can you explain more clearly? I have already downloaded the doomkernel files(PLAY-GSM-DooMKernel-v14_boot.img) and the wi-fi modules from the other thread and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Do I put the .img file into the Flashtool folder?
Sorry, but I really am a noob at these things.

Sorry i have tiped the wrong key
So activate debug modus under development section in apps section, then turn your phone off.
Then hold the search button of your phone and connect it to your pc. A blue light will light up, when that happens you can stop pressing the search button. Then tipe on the lightning symbol in fastboot and select fastboot. Then there will pop up a window, there you have to select flash kernel now you have to select the kernel file and press ok. It will begin flashing. When the progress ends you can turn on your phone. And don't forget to flash the wifi fix in recovery. I hope you are able to follow

Hey guys
I'm having an issue with flashing a kernal to my phone. I have a SE Xperia Play R800i GSM with stock GB 2.3. The phone is rooted and has CWM, but the bootloader is not unlocked. I have downloaded the flashtool and tried flashing my device to load the LuPuS kernel for the ICS4.0.4 ROM, but just cant seem to get any joy. The software recognises the device is rooted, but fails with each attempt to load the custom kernel saying it is because the device is not rooted.
Oh, in MSC with debugging available. I have attached a log from the flashtool software. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

I believe you are required to unlock your bootloader in order to flash a kernel.

No Wifi nor BT

Hi,
I bought the phone used (r800i) and flashed it right away I didn't check if wifi worked or not. But now it doesn't :/
I tried DoomLord Kernel with the modules, tried the LuPuS one too with no luck :crying:
Tried ICS and GB with those kernels and nothing :/
Also tried with flashtools the following roms still with no luck:
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_EnhancedV2
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437)
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced
R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World
Wifi and BT show mac address unavailable :/
I've read a lot of threads but in every case it should be simple, flash kernel, flash rom and flash modules after, but I can't get it to work
Thanks.
Edit: Tried more roms, also bluetooth now works. but still no wifi

Maybe this thread will help: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-cant-turn-wi-fi-cant-access-mac-address.html (not XDA)

You need to flash the wifi fix for you kernel. Flash it with cwm recovery not with flash tool. Hope this would help.. thanks me then

Did you flash the correct module?
Sent from my awesome Xperia Play

Yeah I believe so. I flashed the 4.0.A.2.368 tft and wifi didn't work. Yesterday I tried flashing the doomkernel v03 for that firmware and it didn't change a thing.
I believe it may be a hardware problem.

Wait, v03? That's ICS kernel isn't it? And most of Xperia Play's development uses .42/.58/.62 firmware so you might be using the wrong kernel with the wrong firmware.
http://www.mediafire.com/?s93d99wisca54es & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502
Flash the firmware with flashtool, then flash kernel. Power on your device, keep pressing L, that will bring you to CWM. Go install zip from sd, select zip from sd, then select doomkernel v14 wifi modules. Install that. Then your WiFi should work now.

I've read and the v03 was the right kernel for 4.0.A.2.368. I was in that fw because I tried almost every tft available.
I also tried what you said and still got the same result. Thanks for your help anyway

If you flash only ftf and don't flash doomkernel? Still the same?

[SOLVED]Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...

Oh man not again... I've lost my previous phone (TG-01) in the same way. My phone was working just fine until I decided to flash the turbo kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548). By following the directions in the link (http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/how-to-use-fastboot.html), I've done all of the steps mentioned but then the problems started. When I first opened the device after flashing the kernel, all I saw was just a black screen. Approximately two minutes later the battery indicator and clock showed up on the top right of the screen. With some search in Google, I've found the post below:
MissionImprobable said:
Did you wipe data, cache, and then format and remount system before applying the new zip?
Click to expand...

So I've tried to follow these steps too but looks like I'm failed. Now I can't flash another kernel because the PC doesn't detect my phone after the "waiting for device" prompt in the fastboot. Before trying something again I thought asking for help in the forums is a good idea. So please, please help me. I'm very upset now and I won't get any better without fixing this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you flash the recovery on xperia gamer site?If you did this it is only a recovery not a kernal.You should have flashed a kernal with recovery built in like the turbo kernal which as recovery built in.According to xperiargamer gamer link you need to to connect through flashtool to get into the recovery.I would look in flashtool to try to boot into recovery or flash another kernal with recovery built in then flash a new rom.But obviously flashtool needs to recognise your phone :fingers-crossed:

That's the problem. Before I messed with the settings it had no problems with detecting my device. I guess I screwed up something.
Also just noticed I CAN get incoming calls but I can't answer them. So the phone is actually working, then? What should I do now?

What rom are you on?Can you get in fastboot mode with phone?(holding search while connecting to pc.) is the phone partially working?

When I first flashed the kernel I was on stock 2.3.4, but immediately after the flashing I switched to X Dark ICS. Yes, I can use the fastboot mode, but fastboot does not recognize it while SEUS does. Weird...,
I can enter the boot menu with no problems at all.

Xdark ICS is not compatible with turbo kernel.Only certain roms work they are listed on CosmicDan site.Also when you say you can get into boot menu do you mean via the phone?

Yes, I can enter and browse the boot menu by opening the phone while tapping back and volume up keys. Now trying on a different computer, will post the results.

No use. Damn.
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS.

Confused by what you mean boot menu! Do you mean recovery? Also if this is turbo recovery just install a compatible rom via install zip option,there are links to them on CosmicDans site.Download one place on sdcard and flash with turbo recovery :fingers-crossed:

Re: Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...
Boot menu?? Recovery?? Cant u just flash a stock firmware via flashtool using flashmode?? If the boot menu you were talking about is recovery u should be able to enter fastboot/flashmode. Regarding the un-recognize problem did u try updating the driver?? Does flashtool even detect your phone??

No need to apologize, you are right, I should have mentioned these.
Flashtool? I don't think it's Flashtool. It's something in the fastboot folder with the command prompt thing. Shift+Right Click if I remember it correctly.
Trying the Flashtool now, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the reply.

Guess what?.I've flashed version 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK Generic) with Flashtool. And now my phone is back again! HAHAHAHAHA I'M FRICKING HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS. Ehm... Really, I thank you both. You two have a good day.
By the way, what should I do now? I was thinking about installing some Custom ROMs but I'm too scared to do it after these. Now the phone's running on 2.3.3. Is my rooted/bootloader unlocked status gone?

Congrats. Flashtool is a perfect fail sav. As for root, just use flashtool to root it. BL stays unlock once u've unlocked it. It locks when u decide to lock it. Everythings there man.

Did you actually install a Rom
@OP or did you just flash the turbo kernel? @everyone else If you flash a new kernel would that necessarily delete your ROM or would you still be able to boot to a stock rom?

If you bought your Play only, only for pure gaming, there's nothing better than JokaWildv3 with Doomkernel v14. Forget the other kernels and ROMs, feel the real power of that monster in your pocket with these two!

I am noob to all this and wondered if the DoomKernal is a pre-rooted kernal or do i need to root first via flashtool?
Also can i keep the firmware at 4.0.2.A.0.42 or am i required to change this too?

Yes, it's pre-rooted so no further rooting is necessary. Here's the link for the both:

I'm here for a while, so feel free to post if you encounter any problems.
Good luck!

Thanks for your help!! :fingers-crossed:
I'm at work so wont be doing it till I get home but will post if I come across any issues but I have a couple of questions
which order do I do it in? Do I flash the firmware to .79 then the kernal and then the ROM or in a different sequence?
Also does the DoomKernal v14 contain CWM Recovery or do i need to install this after flashing the kernal?
Do I also need to install the goggle apps and the wifi module?

You're welcome. And my bad, I was going to explain them but I forgot, I'm kinda sleepy, sorry .
1.First flash the FW via flashtool.
2-Copy the JokaWildv3.zip to your memory card. Any location is fine.
2.Boot your device in fastboot mode and flash Doomkernel v14. It contains CWM Recovery module, yes Doomlord handled everything.
3.Reboot your device, when the device vibrates AFTER the Doomkernel logo, press the back button. Select the CWM recovery from the menu, then select install zip from the card. Choose JokaWildv3.zip (Do NOT extract the files). The installation process takes 2 minutes. After that, reboot again and enjoy!

Thanks for all you help, I'm sure ill be in touch if i fail miserably.
Just to confirm, I don't need to root first do I? the kernal is pre-rooted?
So once I've unlocked my bootloader I can just flash the kernal, wifi modules and then install the ROM via CWM?

You are most welcome, my friend. I also recommend you to try the Krisdee's upcoming ICS ROM (not available yet), it looks promising.
