Hi everyone...
I recently installed the latest cm9 on my ARC.
I want to install cm7.2 again, but I can't get it to work.
This is what I do:
1) fastboot the image file (fastboot.exe boot boot.img)
2) Install the zip
3) Clear data/cache
But it just hangs at the CM 7.2 logo.
If I install CM9 again, everything work fine.
Any ideas?
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Exactly!
With fastboot boot command, you simply make the kernel boot once.
Fastboot flash boot will do it for you!

Thanks guys... I suspected it had something to do with the flashboot command. I'll try it out ASAP.
EDIT: It's working now, thank you

Hi.
I've unlocked my bootloader last night successfully, and went on to flash a custom boot.img.
First I did "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img", it went through no problems. However after that, my phone boots up to Sony Ericsson logo, it goes away and screen remains black.
I've tried to flash generic global ROM ( "fastboot flash system boot.img" ) to see if I can at least restore my phone to default ROM, it still acts the same..
Anyone mind helping ?
fastboot flash boot boot.img - flash kernel
fastboot boot boot.img -hotboot kernel
what file you flash for rom?.ftf or img?if .ftf you need flashtool,but for .img just use fastboot

I've used "fastboot flash boot boot.img" as my first step.
The file was .img, obviously.
Flash it back to stock with FlashTool and try it again.

Heh, I haven't realised that .ftf files flash the entire thing INCLUDING kernel to the phone. Oh well, we learn every day
Thanks guys !

Hi,
As Matt95 say with fastboot, you seens to have forget to flash the associated boot.img file.
Reboot your phone in fastboot mode and type:
fastboot flash boot XXX.img (XXX.img is the name of your file)
fastboot erase cache
That should boot.

Did you flash boot.img ?
I've tried to install cm9 onto my play so i did the root part,the bootloader unlock and installed cwm then i flashed doomlord kernel v14 per flashtool and typed in the fastboot commands fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img and fastboot -i 0xfce reboot and now the phone starts but the screen stays black and i wasn't able to shut it down.I can't start the recovery menu but flash and fastboot mode work and also the flashtool recognizes the play's standard usb connection,Then i tried some different kernels but none brings me further than the sony boot animation till the screen goes away.If it helps i followed a instruction team android for cm9 on xperia play(sorry can't post the link).
Could some one help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance

Doomkernel doesnt work on cm9 and Doomkernel only works on stock gb. You need a cm9 kernel. Sorry bud you flashed the wrong kernel. =/

thx, that was the problem i only used the command: fastboot boot boot.img
I was already assuming that
I've flashed cm11 with cmw and gapps, but cyanogenmod won't boot and it just loops the cyanogenmod logo over and over.
Any ideas?

boot into fastboot and do the command "fastboot erase cache" then flash the boot.img from the rom again, if you haven't already, or even if you have flashed the boot.img it wouldn't harm to do it again
