[Q] Want to make sure I'm installing CM7 properly - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just want to make sure I'm going to do this properly.
I went to CM7's thread, download FXP108 file.
The instruction say to flash the kernel.
Does that mean I extract the boot.img from the zip file, and use that?
Then I go into recovery, and use the same zip file to run from recovery.(do I remove the boot.img from the zip?)
Then I flash the baseband file?
Just want to make sure I'm going it properly.

Flash the baseband first, extract boot.img then delete it from the CM7 zip, flash boot.img, then go into recovery and flash CM7

and just to make sure, if I flash the stock firmware, it resets everything, the baseband, kernel and rom?

Resets pretty much everything except the bootloader's unlocked status

Thanks just need to wait for my phone to recharge enough.

I get this error when trying to flash the baseband:

I assume you have a Verizon PLAY, the R800x? Otherwise you shouldn't be flashing that ROM. If you are on R800x, then I dunno what that means

No, the R800a, from Rogers.

You flashed a file called "XperiaPlay_3.0.1.E.0.88_R800x.ftf", which is the CDMA R800x firmware. You need to get GSM R800a or R800i firmware. For CM7, you need R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 or 4.0.2.A.0.58 or 4.0.2.A.0.62

Thats the only one they had.
You mean the build number or baseband?
baseband has this:
8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Build number is:
4.0.2.A.0.42
the build numbers match, that mean I'm good?

Well if you have baseband -56 then you're fine to flash CM7, I'd just recommend a factory reset first and a dalvik cache wipe

I usually wipe everything, factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats.

That's not the .62 firmware. If you don't have a Verzion (R800x) PLAY, don't use that file
ah ok, id downloaded it from the CM9 Thread so i thought it would be that file

Block verification failed

I asked this question a lot of time but didn't get any relevant answer .. Can someone please help me out ..

EDIT:: I just solved the issue .. 7zipped the ftf .. then created two bundle, one consists of all files except system.sin and other one only with system.sin .. flashed both .ftf one after another and it worked .. running 4.0.2.A.0.42 and with root .. ..
check no final verification box.. before flashing :
I got the same error while trying to flash stock firmware on an Xperia Tipo device.
I opened the ftf file with 7zip and tried to extract the content. 7zip showed an error in the system.sin file that otherwise was invisible since the file size was correct.
I re-downloaded the ftf from another source and everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!

You have an old version of Flashtool. Update it to the latest and check "No final verification" when flashing ICS-firmware.

How do I flash a UK ROM on an R800X with flashtool?

Is there a reason or a fix to make this rom flash? I just want the UK UI, Game Pads and WiFi to work and that's it.
