No

Is that a no to it would break my device or a no as in it isn't possible?
No it won't break your device when you fastboot flash a kernel it will erase the old one and install the new one. It won't affect your rom either the system will be just as it was before

Why don't you just reboot into recovery and flash the zip?
I wonder as well how to do this. What if my SD card takes a crap and I don't have another. How to install a custom kernel via ADB ?

I an building a rom and want to scrap the stock kernel and replace it with a custom kernel. In other words, I want to pre load a custom kernel into a stock based rom. I want to do this from my pc. Any idea how to do this?

Compile the kernel then use koushes "any kernel flasher" to flash the kernel through recovery

So I am about to root my phone but first I have to flash the r800at to the older .270 update. Do I have to worry about breaking anything? Also once it is rooted what are some things I can do or add to my phone?
Bump. Can someone let me know if there is anything I need to do or be aware of?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a new kernel. Only with root you can install some custom roms
There is allways a chance to damage your phone when you flash something, but if you follow carefully the flash steps you have a high chance to root your phone without any problem

Yes I do have a locked bootloader. So instead should I flash a custon kernal then root? I was looking into doomkernel and that looks nice. Does it have some instructions for installing it safely? Also is that the best one for the AT&T version of this phone?
You MUST have a unlocked bootloader to flash a new kernel or you'll brick your phone
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Oh my bad. So is really the only thing I can do is flash the .270 version and just rooting?
Yes. If you want to change the rom with a locked bootloader you need root acces

Hey I am new to this and I was wondering if there would be harmful parts of install a custom rom on the xperia play
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you don't know what you are doing you can soft brick your device. Most of the time since it is soft brick, you can still flash the factory image to recover it (using flashtool).
If you want to install custom rom on the R800x, you need to unlock its bootloader first, after that it also need to separately flash a compatible kernel for that rom before or after flashing the rom for it to boot successfully. There are plenty of guides, you can start by reading this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024782
Also for me, with the Play, its good enough to stay with stock and just root the phone, since it perform best with Gingerbread.
I have already unlock the bootloader but I was just wondering if thing bad would happen if I install a custom rom. someone told the play store would be gone and apps like FaceBook and youtube wont work is that true?

Most of them remove google apps (gapps) but u can just flash the gapps.zip which will probably be stated or linked in the ROMs thread. As for youtube not working, thats not true works fine on ALL ROMs for me.

I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

And u can find the kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
After u changed the kernel u can go to recovery by volume up or down
Volume up=TWRP
