So I decided to Root my phone using E4GTauto-fx and it worked great, gave me clockwork and all was well. I decided to try and install a custom rom and when i try to install from Recovery everything seems fine but when it finishes it doesnt automatically reboot the phone for me, so I have to wait for the option to go "back" appears the choose to reboot the phone and then it bricks and gets stuck on the samsung boot screen. I have thankfully found a way to recover but it puts me back to factory and then I have to do the whole root process over again. My phone is currently on 2.3.4 and EG30.
Ive tried practically every custom rom listed and each time get the same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks
The way I do it and works great every time I go back to stock is to Odin a stock kernel packed with CW, then I have the root zip on my SD card that I flash right after. No problems flashing anything after.
Oh, you're supposed to reboot after, it doesn't do it for you.

Maybe your root process did not take. I would go back to stock like you do and try one of the root processes with Odin. At that point you would have a rooted rom but no clockwork. Then my next step would be to use Odin to put CWM on there. I know it sux to use Odin but if your other methods have failed I suggest giving this a shot. Then try and use clockwork to flash a rom...

Which ROM are you flashing. Some ROMs are doing more involved changes and it is suggest you run a wipe so your existing setup doesn't have remnants that conflict with the new ROM.
There is a zip that does this for you at the bottom of Calkulin's ROM. You usually only need to do this when switching between different custom ROMs.
Can you provide me with a link where to get one that flashes thru Odin? I did this method the first time around and i got a annoying triangle with a exclamtion point at the bottom of the screen.
Hello, I did quite a few searches on google and i never found anything similiar to my issue i am having. As the guide says on cm7.. i flashed SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom with flashtool, no errors or anything. However when i flash CM7.2.0 - FXP105 Kernel the one included in the zip with fastboot... It boots up and i spam the volume button and it brings up the kernel menu, however this is when issues occures for me. It freezes maybe after 20 seconds - 120 seconds, so i am not able to even flash the actual cm7 rom because of the kernel instantly freezing, and sometimes the menu cm7 kernel shows up glitchy just with a few texts. Then i tried to connect my charger to the phone, and now the kernel is glitch free everything works perfect, but as soon as i disconnect the charger the issues comes back
Kernel with update-cm-7.1.0.1 works perfectly but new ones does not? I tried the doomkernel aswell for cm7, and still same issue.
This is how i did it
1. Flashed SEMC 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom with flashtool
2. Flashed CM7 Kernel (the one included in the cm7 zip - fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And i can't go any further than this because the kernel glitches out.
I had a similar problem, try flashing .42 then boot, log in to your Google account and wifi etc., then flash cm7 kernel & rom.

Thanks! It did not solve the problem. Any other suggestions?
Flash with DoomLord Kernel v7 or v4, it actually should runs with all roms.

Use DooMKernel.
You can't change voltage with stock kernel.
but you must have connected to power source every entering to recovery mode.
Enjoy CM7/CM9 based ROM
hello there my names kyle and im new here but you can call me sangy, anyway i have joined the site to post this
i have had my play now for 6 months and i want ics and a new kernel, i heard lupus was the best one so i flashed lupus using fastboot and the correct rom. i have followed all steps correctly and the dam thing just boot loops after 1 min of booting unless i have my usb in my pc at which point the phone will stay on like it should without a single bootloop. so with a potentially bricked phone i flashed the stock firmware back v4.0.2.A.0.58 and re flashed a different kernel and rom still the same issue so i flashed back to stock again. if anyone can tell me how to solve this weird ass issue i will rate you +1 because im getting sick of having no cwm and incompatibilities with apps and i want to overclock
ps im planning on flashing doomkernel v14 hope this problem is gone but i know it will have the same issue.
my phones current state is this
xperia play r800i
stock kernel(2.6.32.9-perf) [email protected]#1
FW 4.0.2.A.0.58
baseband 64
android 2.3.4 ginger bread with root and unlocked boot loader
thats everything i know thanks for reading and helping in advance
edit: sorry if im not been precise but by boot loop i mean hot boot where the phone will run fine for 3 min then freeze and reboot on its own until i pull the battery or plug in usb in pc upon hard reset it even does this in kernel boot up

which lupus kernel, ics+gb v7 or lupus ics beta v12. have you tried flashing through flashtool because it always works for me and which ics rom as their are tons.
hello thanks for the quick reply
ive tryed the lupus ics+gb kernel latest version with the ics beta rom for xperia play and ive also tryed the lupus gb kernel latest version
and yes i have flash tool and all the drivers but a nice reccomendation on what to flash next based on my phones spec at the moment would be nice
also why am i the only person on the internet with this problem? ive heard of having 60+ apps on the sd to cuase hot booting but for me this is just out of the ordinare, particulary when ive whiped all the phone and flashed a new kernel.

With Lupus kernel, use R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79 firmware
will be flashing that stock firmware now over my other one then put lupus gb+ics over the stock kernel
will let you know if it goes well and fixes this
unfortunatly it did not fix it rom loads up, gets to the regular sony setup then freezes and hot boots. did this with lupus kernel ics+gb and the 4.0.A.0.79 firmware you linked me to. its either the kernel or my phone
just tryed doomkernel v14 with your FW kernel still crashes and reboots, is there something i have to do in flashtool because
every kernel ive flashed yet has the same issue.
note i can get a catlog app whilst it is plugged in then unplug it and wait for the crash and send it to you and you can see where its going wrong with the kernel and tell me what to do
thanks for reading these updates and sorry its taking this long to find and fix a big bug :good:

Did you tried any other ics/gb rom? Wipe your system/data from recovery before installing (and by installing i mean install from recovery with "install zip from sdcard")
Ps: maybe its stupid question, but is your sdcard full??? How much free space on it?
what recovery? this is an xperia play they dont have a recovery on stock kernels thats why im flashing one and no my sd card is not full
literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

For Lupus kernel - when powering on, keep pressing volume down for clockworkmod recovery or volume up for TWRP recovery.
Flash ROM from recovery that match kernel. Lupus ICS/GB V7 is for ics/gb roms based on stock (Sony) roms. Read in ROM's thread which kernel is recommended
With flashtool you can only flash .img files and in Xperia Play case, that is ONLY ics beta rom (but almoust all kernels come in .img format - so Flashtool is used to flash kernel). From recovery you can flash every other rom that you can find (just make sure that kernel match rom or else you'll get kernel bootloop)
ok this will be crystal clear
i can flash the kernal but even when booting the kernal and going into recovery to even flash a rom it will freeze and hot boot
meaning i did everything correctly with flashtool to do the kernel and with just the kernel installed (no rom) it still freezes and hot boots
as soon as i can stop these kernels from freezing i can flash whatever ics or gb there is in recovery
note: what are your settings for your flashtool as i might be missing a setting also the info from flashtool says at startup to disable MTP for 2011 devices, would this be my problem?

what kernel are you trying to flash? Be specific!
What rom are you trying to flash?
Disconnect phone from PC after you flashed your rom (any one, first boot must be done while disconnected)
the kernel i would like mostly is the lupus kernel
i can flash every kernel no problems, its the fact that the kernel crashes etc i can also flash the correct rom using flashtool the same thing happens
the case im trying to make is that you first install the kernel then flash your rom in recovery then the extras like wifi modules to the kernel
the kernel (dosent matter which one i try for my device ) has the hot boot issue happen to it no matter what i do before i even have a chance to install the rom(again the correct rom stock or not).
and yes i know you have to wait for boot ups on new roms and kernels, this isnt the first time i have flashed roms as i have a galaxy tab 2 running cm10 for the most part.
again thanks for the quick replys but i think this will require more technical solutions or debugging with my phone or software.
Install cwm on your phone. Search xparts on play store. Go into recovery and wipe system and wipe data and cache then turn off your phone. Open flashtool. Hold search while plugging your phone in and then flash kernel

thank you for for saying that after 1 hour, will try that now and test the kernel for 20 - 5 min
if this works tell the kernel devs to make proper instructions on this

did these exact instructions but the new xparts dosent work so luckily the community had the older version that works,
followed everything buy the book installed cwm using xparts after root went into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and i even wiped the dalvik cache, flashed the lupus ics+gb kernel booted into the custom lupus recovery (scrolled through the menu a minute) then as expected kernel crash followed by hot boot
any other ideas?

Fully working steps:
-download eraser.zip in attachment, unpack it somewhere in pc
-Start flashtool, enter flash mode, hold back button on phone, connect to pc and flash .79 firmware. DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!
-Disconnect phone and connect again in fastboot mode (hold search button while plugging it back)
-Flash Lupus ICS/Gb 480p or 720p kernel
-While still in fastboot mode, double-click file name "start.bat" from where you unpacked file in attachment.
-Disconnect phone, power on and keep pressing volume down untill you enter recovery
-Install rom and reboot

I don't know what you mean by "kernel still crashed in lupus recovery". In wich step you get that?
Try pressing volume up when powering on to enter twrp recovery
Hello, I am on a n7100.
I firstly flashed my stock rom 4.1.2 from odin.
My phone works well with stock.
I have downloaded the omega rom v23 from here.
I firstly installed MJ5 Bootloader via Odin 3.9.
Then Flashed "TWRP recovery" via Odin 3.9 again.
I had already put omega rom zip to my external sd card.
So I have wiped all the ways i could ever do from twrp wipe section. (All except external data storage)
Then selected install zip, Omega logo appeared awesome.
I press next, Omega Rom Installation, Full wipe, Install Omega Rom, Default Installation, Next, Install!
It installs everything correctly.
Then, Reboot Device is already ticked, I press End.
Twrp says rebooting...
And Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100 logo comes.
And never goes off. Boot stuck.
Please help me i dont know where i am failing at. I made way too much research, tried way too many install orders, please show me the true way...
I think you should try flashing another ROM and see how it goes.. Mine already got stuck at boot because of multiple causes... In my case it was mostly kernel issues... But I dont think that applies for you....

I had alliance rom v5.2 installed 5 days ago. It has 4.3 interface and note 3 apps aswell. But Omega Rom, I cant install. Now i got 4.3 stock rom. My bootloader updated with knox. Warranty is also 1 but still omega rom causes same issue. The thing i wonder is, If i install stock rom with odin, does it also reinstall the original bootloader?
Also, after getting newer stock rom, i cannot flash the mj5 bootloader anymore. It says it is outdated. I guess i have MK9 from now on. And cant go to MJ5. I dont even have no idea anout how to compare them. I am a noob rom flasher. But I am not a noob googler. Even so, I cannot find definite knowledge about MJ5 bootloader
Usually when you flash trough Odin you get the bootloader that comes with the ROM... But perhaps they added some aditional verification or something like that to make sure you don't revert the bootloader to the old one (without knox)... Even then I don't understand why some ROMs work and others don't... Acording to Omega thread you did everything right... Have you ever used Mobile Odin instead of Odin?
No, I have never tried Moblie Odin.
Edit: I am back on Alliance Rom, i won't probably check here later on, u do not have to reply anymore.
Hi there I have quite a problem on my hands. It has been awhile since working with this device so I'll try to provide as much info as possible.
Device: lt28i ion
Firmware: 6.1.E.3.7
Kernel: (I'll have to check after work)
Bootloader: locked(not unlockable)
Rooted
Cwm installed with issues
Volume rocker broken
Phone still boots to system no issues
OK to start off with about a year or so ago I was active in Modding and development on the ion. I updated to ics first version and rooted with cwm(tap screen version). I then stopped at that point with no further updates or changes except for supersu updates and busybox.
I then dropped the device in water in witch it vibrated while plugged in,sitting in rice for about a week. The result was a working device with decreased vibration and volume up not working. This is the main reason for not updating or further use of flash tool or cwm..
I now have.the Z1 and want to customize the hell out of my old ion.
I was able to backup via cwm that was already installed because it was the tap screen version. I then flashed an update process here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043
All went well until attempting to flash the kernel via flash tool and flash mode. When I attempted this my ion would not enter flash mode or not fully. Flash tool recognizes the device as USB debug off and upon flashing flash tool does not see the ion in flash mode. I also get no led on boot to confirm flash mode. This I find Strange as it is thevolume up that is not working.
I booted the phone up and ensured I had usb debugging on and attempted again. Same result.
So I figured I would restore my cwm back up and attempt a different method but my new firmware install I had mentioned above removed my cwm so I installed the dual boot recovery here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634375
And this failed as volume up and down won't respond while booting.
Attempted using different boot apps to reboot to recovery and it would not boot to cwm or twrp.
Then reverted back to my old cwm here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939875
And it will respond to my screen tap and boot to cwm for a few seconds and then reboot to system.
My error was.not ensuring flash mode worked before attempting this process,
I'm not at a complete loss as the phone with still operate but I'm sure certain aspects will not work (I have not tested the current working conditions volume down works once at launcher but volume up is still a no go)
So I'm stuck with a mismatched kernel and firmware. And no way to restore back.
Current state:
-Boots to system
Will boot to cwm with screen tap for 5 sec then reboot to system
-Mismatched kernel and firmware.
-Need to at least get working cwm to restore back up
-Hope to find work around for flash mode
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

So a really good update...kind of...
I was able to get a working cwm install and it booted correctly into recovery.
I was able to restore the data but decided to keep the rest.
To fix:
-Connected to flash tool while phone on.
-Log stated rooted but no busy box.
-Installed most recent version of busy box via flash tool
-Rebooted
-Cwm and flash mode still not working
-Downloaded and installed most recent cwm recovery
-Recovery now boots with volume down(really weird as it wasn't responding prior)
-Kept rom, did not restore to backup
No issues so far.
-Will restore if any fc issues ect...
!! Flash mode still not working.!!
If anyone has a workaround for flash mode not responding to volume down please help me out.
