ok i cae from a nexus one rooted and running MIUI mod. i came to the EVO hoping to do the same. i have root and recovery but every time i flash a rom i gt bootloop. help i dont know what to do now?
You probably aren't wiping data. Either that or the MIUI kernel isn't playing nice with your EVO. Try to flash one of the AOSP kernels without agressive undervolting. If that doesn't work, try one without HAVS altogether.
think you could post a link to this?
Wrong forum.
how is it wrong forum? its a developement question
Do you only get boot loops when you flash miui? Have you tried any other rom? Is your S-ON, S-Off? Did you use unrevoked method to root? Is your evo a 004?
yes i get booy loops on every rom and i believe it is off and i did use unrevooked and i have no idea how would i go forth of checking that?
what he means by wrong forum is that you posted a question in the Developer forum.. questions go in the questions forum.. and you can post questions about a particular rom in that roms' thread to get the best help..
and in this case thats not even hosted here at XDA..
MIUI
All support is now being moved over to to the forums created specifically for miui users!! Located Here

Did you just get your phone recently? If so, you probably have a late 003 or the new 004 hw version. Check it in your settings/about phone/hardware info. Then try this guide (read the cautions): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045.

What he means by wrong forum is that it's not yet another rom. There is no discussion of development that goes on in this forum. It's nothing more than a release and support forum, at best a collection of bug reports.

I'm not trying to be rude but some of u need to get a life. I mean if u have nothing better to do than to pop in and out of every thread telling people they posted in the wrong place I feel sorry for u. Either try and help or don't say anything and let the mods decide wether its in the wrong place or not. I used to love coming on here and talking, learning and sharing but some of u are just completely ruining it.

my guess is you arent s-off/nand unlocked. reboot into hboot. power off and the back on, while pressing the volume down button. the very top line will tell you whether it is on or off.

Your thread is now in Q&A after being moved yesterday from the Development section where you first posted it.. Root if ya need don't if ya don't.
yes , you should
whats the easiest way if there is one any help would be appreciated
ZergRush exploit by doomlord.
Look in dev section for easy tool.
One click.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium
Definitly worth it.
Just use the ZergExploit like explained before, make sure you flash the FXP kernel (look up how to put a boot.img) and then put the new FXP047 image (7.2.0 at the time of writing this).
I had the same reluctance at the start as you, it seems complicated, and you actually need more research. Make sure you read the "noob" posts on how to root, they actually give you all the infos you need when put together

Hello, I'd like to say sorry first of all I have been a silent guest on these forums for about a year now and decided to finally register. I have been following SE R800x CDMA development for as long as i have had my phone.
I have been Googleing and searching these forums for ICS Rom for R800x since Verizon has clearly abandoned this phone at 2.3.3.
Anyways Today i searched and found this thread LINK HERE AND I'm can't believe that CM9 finally came out for CMDA R800x
So my questions is can someone guide me step by step in a clean tut or maybe a video of how to do this rom installation ?
I've found this so far while searching google but I have NEVER flashed a rom and I have taken time to read alot of XDA threads on flashing and I also used to flash my PSP when that was the rave. So I know the risks and rewards of flashing kernal and custom roms.
But like i asked if someone WHO has a R800x who has flashed the CM9 113 please help me. Do it from scratch
My Phones Info:
=============================
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800x
OTA: 2.3.3
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
I will be getting my Phones Bootloader UNLOCKED in a few days after that I'd like to know a very simple and clear way of doing the flashing and etc...
If someone here would be kinda enough to make a Video Tut or a clean picture tut step by step on which file to download and which on to extract where and how to It would help me a lot vs random tuts found on searches.
Thank you XDA

You probably will have to just read and learn how to do it on your own man.
This forum is sort of dead in terms of R800X phones and that is the blunt truth. Nobody develops for them besides me an maybe 2 other people lol.
I could care less about ICS so I will never port it to the R800X
It just slows the phone down and adds more unnecessary features to be honest
Well thanks for replaying
and i guess killing my hopes with my crappy phone..
I would, but I am terrible at writing guides and the like. IF you are ok with that I can try...

Your phone is not crappy, and development is being made. Just check the CM9 compiling thread, there are like 8 R800x owners who've pulled the source from Keiran's git, that must mean something I wager.

Check your PM. Then check out the thread I just put up on installing FXP113 to the R800x.
I'm new to android and I don't know nothing about this wonderful OS .I have been using iOS and Windows Phone for a few years but it was time to make the change.
I bought two new android devices SGS3 and Xperia Arc S ,the SGS3 is the main phone and the Xperia is just for fun(modding ,everything custom and all that good stuff).
So this is what is what i want to known about the ARC S : how to root on 4.1.B.0.431 (ICS 4.0.4)
how to remove bloatware apps
how to flash cool stuff to the phone(beats audio ,themes lockscreens etc)
how to install custom Rom
I think I need an Idiot's guide for all this stuff.
Here a thing for ICS:

And here for GB, but with more information:

There are a lot of current users of the Xperia S/Acro S/ Sola and a lot of new users coming through here aswell. There are also a lot of questions being asked time and time again, aswell as a lot of new users being flamed and/or trolled for asking a simple question. This is filling up our Q&A and Development forums with junk which doesn't need to be there.
Instead, just point them to this thread to get all the help they require, which in turn, lessens the clutter of the forums aswell.
If you're reading this and you're a new user to XDA, I suggest you read the XDA New User Guide by mf2112, as it contains all the information you'll need to have a happy and productive time across the whole of XDA.
And please be sure to read A Note From The Moderators and WHAT BELONGS IN DEVELOPMENT aswell.
Post #2 will include the rules which I'm putting in place for this thread, which I expect you all to abide to.
It may also include an FAQ of questions which get asked fairly often, yet don't have a specific thread to find the answer. (I'm still deciding on this idea yet though). It will also include some important links for you all to check out.
In post #3 you'll find the links to different ROMs and kernels for the Xperia S. Links provided by Felimenta97.
ASK ANY RELATED QUESTION HERE,bootloader, drivers, how to root etc...... You will either get an answer here or will be given the best thread for you to go to so you can get your answer.
Even if you find your answer from one of the links provided, please come back here and look through the other threads, as you may learn something else you didn't know.

Hi,
The xperia sspeed kernel v6 isn't guaranteed to work on stock ROMs, even though it does work with some.
If you're able to boot into recovery, flash the Advanced Stock ICS Kernel linked in this thread and it should work fine for you.

To use Sony programs again (not including MEDIA GO) you would have to relock your bootloader. But you can download the firmware you want and use Flashtool to flash it on your phone.
I will add later a link to a thread with the stock firmware.

Hi all
I just flashed Advanced Stock Kernel on my Xperia S today, after I had a problem 'cause I flashed DooMKernel over ICS. I was wondering if the advanced stock kernel was pre rooted, 'cause it came with super user installed, but isn't giving root access or super user permission to any apps (including busybox) infact, after I installed busybox, random pop ups kept saying that root access was being denied to various apps. (I had Titanium Backup*Root and busybox installed) I'm really new to all of this, and would appreciate any help at all
Oh and also, Juice Defender detected a root and Apex launcher now allows me to add widgets from the app drawer, which required root access, if I'm not wrong. I'm wondering if I went wrong somewhere..
Thanks again
Oh god, it's all on and off, I don't know what's happening.

I'd suggest installing Root Checker to make sure whether you are intact rooted or not.
If it says you're not rooted, then simply root your device and everything will be fine.
If it says you are rooted, there may possibly be something wrong with permissions.

Yeah, I tried Root Checker and it says that it's not intact. Also, the Apex launcher thing isn't working anymore (Adding widgets from the drawer, which needs root access)
But in Super User it says root permission granted to RootChecker and busybox, but like I said, the logs keep saying denied. So I'm not sure
I'd be really grateful if you can point me in the direction of a way to root my phone. I thought advanced stock kernel is rooted. Should I Flash KA S Speed kernel and flash Stock kernel again? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, this is my first Android...
