[Q] CM7 stuck on FreeXperia logo - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Don't understand why..
I flashed the boot.img included in the zip via fastboot
then i went into recovery and installed FXPCM7
rebooted
Stuck on FreeXperia logo for 30mins.
Whats going on?

After you flash the kernel boot into recovery...
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
then go into advanced then wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the CM7.zip
Let me know how it goes - good luck

- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advance > dalvik cache
install FXPCM7

tried it, still stuck on FreeXperia logo
do i need to be on stock when installing it?
I am currently on the enhanced v2 firmware with doom kernel..
update:
tried stock too, doesnt work..

Hm try this
Redownload CM7
using flash tool flash this FTF - It has the newest baseband and largest user partiton
flash the kernel that came with CM7
Enter recovery and..
> factory reset
> wipe cache partiton
go into advanced and
>clear dalvik cache
Then install the CM7 zip from sd-card let me know how it goes

Thanks, but that was the firmware i was on.
I tried that method twice but the same thing kept happening to me
stuck at FreeXperia logo

Just to check if the problem is specific only to CM7 rom itself try installing another rom like Gin2Jellybean - Good luck

I have used various ROMS (all working perfectly) such as:
Gin2ICS/JellyBean
xDarkICS 4.0.3
Xperia NXT
JokaWild
Advanced Stock
So I think it may be just a problem with CM7?

Oh that's strange, try to download it again or try another build from here

tried the stable build now.. same problem :/
EDIT:
Tried flashing doom kernal, this time it actually boots.. touch screen doesnt work but it boots..
Is there another kernal i can use that works?

help please? would love to get cm7

I couldn't get the pad to work so I flashed the ICS Circle fix and the CM9 gamepad one and it worked. For emulators anyway
If theres a proper fix please let me know

I finally figured out how to do it. Go in CWM and delete user data, dalvik cache, cache, and then go to the Mounts and Storage menu, and Format the System Partition. Make sure not to clear the SD partition on accident. Anyways, this is the only way I could get it to work

Kingdom Rewind Sensless 3d

New to XDA, first post ever. Has anyone tried the new Kingdom Sensless 3d release and if so can you tell me if youtube is working as well as 720p video recording? Tried to post this in the developer section under the proper thread but it wouldnt let me since im new. Would love to know overall thoughts on this release as well. Thank you!
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
I believe YouTube works with a workaround (wifi has to be on but not necessarily connected), but 720p isn't functional yet.
is my daily driver everything is working fine there is a lag on the 720 but the devs have explained that is do to the fact that they dont have the codes or something to build new kernels.. youtube works just fine... if you haven't try it yet just flash it... you wont regret it..
Sounds good. Thank you. And just to be sure, i boot into recovery, do a factory restore, wipe cache, then install the zip from sd card. Is that the proper method to install this or will that screw up my phone? Thanks again!

Also, i currently have a different sense 3.0 rom installed. Do i have to flash back to the stock rom before i attempt to install a new one or can i flash a new rom over the one i currently have installed? Thanks again peeps!
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
No you don't go back to stock before flashing, yes go to recovery do factory reset, then go to mounts and storage and wipe boot, system, data, cache go back under advanced & wipe dalvik. Now you can install your ROM

Thanks very much. Interestingly, when i go into recovery it brings me to a clockwork recovery screen where i cant do some of the things u mentioned. I only have the options to do a factory reset and wipe cash. Is that enough? Does it matter what order u do them in? I also noticed that in titanium backup there is an option to delete the dalvic from there. Is that ok to do?

Go into advance in cwm to wipe delvic

Also, you can format system in the mounts and storage menu. The rom's install script should include this, but never hurts to be safe.

[Q] cyanogeon7 nightly build problem

i find that the nightly build is cool and is awesome. the problem is when i use system panel task manager, the phone reboots. i dont know why and its more laggy than the cm7 mod please tell me its me doing something wrong not my phone's or the mod's fault.
and it svery irritating that it keeps hanging. please someone help me with the nightly mod thing i want to use.
Go for nightly#205. And do a full wipe including data,cache,dalvic cache, and perform a factory resetting from cwm before you flash the nightly. Also use latest buzz kernal so that you can overclock your phone.

Lol you may have used beta 4 script, try beta 3, need to use atleast ext3 as your secondary partition. Try it with latest original cwm recovery. 5.xxx to partition. Do a clean install after partition.
And a personal suggestion. S2e app in market is good than dta2sd, though it have not much functions, but what it have, it does its best. I use it.

Dude, explore options in cwm, don't do formatting boot, system, data, unless you learn what it does.
Options may vary from version to versions of cwm. So you have to say which cwm version you have. Mine is latest 5.xxx.
In it, data- factory format( user data or wipe user data, which ever it is called) is in main menu. And dalvic cache wipe is in advanced menu.
Lol you must carefully read topic named" complete wildfire index, then ask doubts, after all you can learn new things from every topic.
Your kernal will be in that topic. Check it out.

another problem
now i got another problem. my wildfire will hang every now and then and i have to pluck out the battery and switch it back on. its very irritating and having to keep doing that will kill my bat very quickly so could anyone tell me any solutions?
To solve your problem, you must say. Your current configuration, rom, kernal, radio, tweeks, and what have you done just before you got the error

well i am using the cm7 nightly build #205. kernel is buzz-kernel-2.6.35. i just downloaded some apps that were in my phone when i was using cm7 stable. and there wasnt a problem. do i have to upgrade to latest build and kernel? oh and just a question. if i want to upgrade from #205 to #208, do i have have to like wipe my data and cache and dalvik cache? i wouldnt wanna redownload and change everythin again
You can install the nightlies on top of one another without wiping anything, sometimes it seems better to wipe the cache to me but not always necessary, leave data alone.
Word of warning though, always make a nandroid backup before installing a new rom, although they're stable they are still called experimental for a reason, and sometimes (not very often) things can still go wrong.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
i wiped both the dalvik and partition cache and installed the #208 nightly build and the latest kernel but then the phone would just restart automatically. do i have to wipe data as well?
Yes do a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod if it is giving you issues. Then try a fresh install and check again for instability.
Note - Performing a Wipe Data / Factory Reset will erase all data (Except SD Card)
well i not sure but i think the problem still occurs.. yes it does. i wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, did a install using cwm and it still reboots WHAT TO DO NOW

Hey thanks dude .. yup i was using beta 3 last time.. beta 4 was a disaster to CM7.. .. i tried that too ..
but i think my partition was ext2 coz i am using CWM 3 .. will try with CWM 5 .. and sure... S2e too ...
Do you let it boot up before flashing the kernel?

For i always keep a backup of my contacts in sd. Also apps using titanium backup, i had never used a nandroid backup till now, i alwayz do fresh installs, wiping every thing but not fat32. And always keep things updated.

Touchscreen not working on stable CM9 FXP133

I installed the stable cm9..flashed the fxp133 kernel..the installation went smooth but my screen touch function is lost..Any ideas??
Eventually restoring to the stock kernel with JJ hybrid..and yeah the touch is working with this one. So is the problem cos of the kernel or the ROM??
I ll tell the sequence which i followed..let me know where i went wrong..i downloaded the ROM, extracted the boot.img, copied the original cm9 zip into the root of SD..used fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img..then went into CWM..wiped out SD data..then cache..and then dalvik..and then proceeded to install zip from sd..it installed fine..and then i rebooted..it showed d FXP kernel logo and then CM9 bootscreen and then it loaded like it should..BUT the touchscreen isnt working at all..the hardware keys-power and back i checked were working but not the touchscreen..
Where did I go wrong..i am on baseband -72..bootloader unlocked..
You've installed correctly. Possibly a corrupt download, try re-downloading the zip.

I downloaded both official stable CM9 as well as the FXP one on uploaded.to...tried with each of them but with the same result..both cant be corrupt n it wouldnt have extracted if it was a corrupt download anyways..m still wondering whats wrong..
Also I flashed doomkernel and tried installing..again the same..touchscreen still doesnt work..aarghh..
Flash the kernel, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, battery stats and flash cm9.
It should work...

Wiping battery stats does nothing to your phone. It doesn't change anything, it doesn't affect anything. It cannot be the problem.
Then what do u think the problem is..infact the installation works fine so i think i m not messing up anything on that front..

Probably best to use flashtool to flash stock ics rom and kernel, then cm9 kernel/rom.
I would try another Kernel ... do you have an Arc or Arc S ... does someone know if it makes a difference ?

Help! flashing cm10

hello guys, when i did this method (flashing the rom) and worked fine but when i turned on my phone and get it into recovery mode (purple led) , Its not on CWM but in TeamWinrecovery, (i know that i have CWM installed and tried cwm recovery before any flashing) Sooo, i wipe data/ dalvik etc then installed CM10 and GAPPS, and reboot, now im stuck on the cyanogen logo, i kept on rebooting it and doing the same procedure (wipe data/dalvik, install cm10 gapps) same results. Stuck on cyanogenmod logo but the circle thing is still moving, I havent tried waiting for one hour or two on that cyanogenmod boot logo. Should i really flash any roms using CWM? how do i install CWM without the phone turning on? pls help
Update: Left it on cyanogenmod logo last night and i think my phone is now on low battery status, What should i do?

Brick on 6.2.B.1.96 LT26i while flashing custom ROMs

I have a 6.2.B.1.96 build LT26i Xperia S.
I rooted my phone using DoomLord and the recovery using cray_Doze methods.
Following ROM instructions and a myriad of other combos like formatting phone, wiping cache, dalvik cache, applying permissions, formatting /system etc. my phone gets bricked after I select reboot system or power off in the recovery menu.
After I press the. power button, it vibrates once and nothing shows up on the screen. Only way to get the phone running was to flash a stock ftf using FlashTool
I've tried multiple ROMs, including CM, SlimBean and PacMan, all of them yield the same result.
Is there anyway I can fix the problem?

Nope, I don't get any errors.
So you wipe system dalvik cache and data, flash the rom, and what do you do before and after gapps?

i dont realy always do it in that order, it just depends on how i remember it , sometimes i forget to wipe system, before flashing rom
Well check this
Make sure zip isnt corrupted, copying to your device can corrupt sometimes
ALSO does it do it with all ROMS?, if yes then i generaly cant help you now :/
