Flashing Ics on my play.

Hey,
I want ics on my Play, because Sony doesn't release a offical ics Update, only a beta.
So i decide to flash CM9 which has Android 4.
But my question is, which Kernel and where Do i Download the right cm For my r800i.

How to flash it? I have DooMKernel and the Stock ROM with Android 2.3.4.
And after flashing this mod I will use the stock Home launcher.

download
1- cm9 fxp123 build http://fiberupload.com/0csywsb21t5k/FXP123-update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-zeus-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
2- google apps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
step 1 - copy cm9 & gapps to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press search key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
ON PC - run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in cmd
you can find the boot.img in the cm9 zip file
step 3 - when phone is booting press volume key several times to enter recovery
step 4 - wipe data/cache & install cm9, gapps and reboot

I can install a Dualboot kernel.
But how does it works? I must install this kernel. But ICS requires a different kernel as GB.
And my expansion was to install CM9 on SD partition and GB on NAND.
Will it work? When yes how to install it correctly?

If i use test point method will i be able to re lock in case of emergencies?

Yes, I saw a file that you must flash, to relock the BL again.
But I don't know where the file is.
But in normal case, nothing bad happens.

Update:
If you unlocked your phone with SEtool/Omnius - any testpoint unlock solution - YOU CAN NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER! IT'S PATCHED SO IT APPEARS LOCKED TO SE, BUT ACCEPTS UNSIGNED IMAGES VIA FASTBOOT! SO STOP ASKING ABOUT IT, AND STOP TRYING.

ask KeiranFTW he mad the dualboot kernel sorry

Probably, but do you think you really need it?
And for the guide on CM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600833 ^^

Yes, because the OS on the NAND is my first OS which I use normally.
And the partition with ICS is then my experimental OS.
That's how I will do this.

No, you can't. Consider reading the thread for answers next time.

[SOLVED]Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...

Oh man not again... I've lost my previous phone (TG-01) in the same way. My phone was working just fine until I decided to flash the turbo kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548). By following the directions in the link (http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/how-to-use-fastboot.html), I've done all of the steps mentioned but then the problems started. When I first opened the device after flashing the kernel, all I saw was just a black screen. Approximately two minutes later the battery indicator and clock showed up on the top right of the screen. With some search in Google, I've found the post below:

So I've tried to follow these steps too but looks like I'm failed. Now I can't flash another kernel because the PC doesn't detect my phone after the "waiting for device" prompt in the fastboot. Before trying something again I thought asking for help in the forums is a good idea. So please, please help me. I'm very upset now and I won't get any better without fixing this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you flash the recovery on xperia gamer site?If you did this it is only a recovery not a kernal.You should have flashed a kernal with recovery built in like the turbo kernal which as recovery built in.According to xperiargamer gamer link you need to to connect through flashtool to get into the recovery.I would look in flashtool to try to boot into recovery or flash another kernal with recovery built in then flash a new rom.But obviously flashtool needs to recognise your phone :fingers-crossed:

That's the problem. Before I messed with the settings it had no problems with detecting my device. I guess I screwed up something.
Also just noticed I CAN get incoming calls but I can't answer them. So the phone is actually working, then? What should I do now?

What rom are you on?Can you get in fastboot mode with phone?(holding search while connecting to pc.) is the phone partially working?

When I first flashed the kernel I was on stock 2.3.4, but immediately after the flashing I switched to X Dark ICS. Yes, I can use the fastboot mode, but fastboot does not recognize it while SEUS does. Weird...,
I can enter the boot menu with no problems at all.

Xdark ICS is not compatible with turbo kernel.Only certain roms work they are listed on CosmicDan site.Also when you say you can get into boot menu do you mean via the phone?

Yes, I can enter and browse the boot menu by opening the phone while tapping back and volume up keys. Now trying on a different computer, will post the results.

No use. Damn.
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS.

Confused by what you mean boot menu! Do you mean recovery? Also if this is turbo recovery just install a compatible rom via install zip option,there are links to them on CosmicDans site.Download one place on sdcard and flash with turbo recovery :fingers-crossed:

Re: Need urgent help! Device stucked on black screen...
Boot menu?? Recovery?? Cant u just flash a stock firmware via flashtool using flashmode?? If the boot menu you were talking about is recovery u should be able to enter fastboot/flashmode. Regarding the un-recognize problem did u try updating the driver?? Does flashtool even detect your phone??

No need to apologize, you are right, I should have mentioned these.
Flashtool? I don't think it's Flashtool. It's something in the fastboot folder with the command prompt thing. Shift+Right Click if I remember it correctly.
Trying the Flashtool now, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the reply.

Guess what?.I've flashed version 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK Generic) with Flashtool. And now my phone is back again! HAHAHAHAHA I'M FRICKING HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS. Ehm... Really, I thank you both. You two have a good day.
By the way, what should I do now? I was thinking about installing some Custom ROMs but I'm too scared to do it after these. Now the phone's running on 2.3.3. Is my rooted/bootloader unlocked status gone?

Congrats. Flashtool is a perfect fail sav. As for root, just use flashtool to root it. BL stays unlock once u've unlocked it. It locks when u decide to lock it. Everythings there man.

Did you actually install a Rom
@OP or did you just flash the turbo kernel? @everyone else If you flash a new kernel would that necessarily delete your ROM or would you still be able to boot to a stock rom?

yes it does...but if you install a custom ROM then it will have all the customizations which make the phone run faster and better than stock and other stuff which we cannot have with a stock rom.
custom recovery adds a step of protection by which you can install/backup roms and other stuff. and you can only install a custom recovery and rom if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Exactly why I am stumped atm, there's write protection on bootloader, I wonder if AT&T is the only S4 with this??? Can anyone confirm who has another S4 like i9505?

if the root method works, then you should be able to flash the recovery and custom kernel as long as the bootloader does not do signature checks (which some people have claimed to be true, will see). You will not be able to use ODIN,
but shouldn't matter.
Did it the "root" work for anyone else? I remember the kernel config allow full permissive root access, so we should be golden..

Yes , the root worked for everyone who tried. From browsing the thread , i seen that it worked for AT&T and SPRINT SG4's so someone should be able to make a custom kernel soon enough

2.7GB...damn gurl dat bloat

Just another reminder to those still newly getting their S4's, remember the bootloader IS STILL LOCKED and your are pretty much stuck if anything happens to your phone while Rooted :/
Best bet just wait for the bootloader unlock, if you can't wait then I guess it sucks to be you XD
I don't even think it's gonna take long for the bootloader to get unlocked and I'm also willing to bet that someone from Samsung will probably end up releasing something helpful.

Rooting this device was such a breeze! And being able to do it the day after it arrived in the mail was just awesome. Thanks for the dump. I have been freezing the bloatware with Titanium Backup, didn't want to begin stripping things until a recovery was available and I could do a backup of the stock rom. I was surprised to see that I could also freeze most of the bloat through the built in Application Manager (selecting an app then tapping Disable) even before I rooted the phone.

first the dev's need to find and unlock the bootloader, we cannot say how much long that will take because it depends on the dev's and the device, i can say about 20 days to a month and after which the recovery can be done, which will be soon if we get the bootloader unlocked , then the custom roms will come out...

First of all don't panic!
Grab any .55 firmware and install it with FlashTool, when installation is finished don't turn on the phone, disconnect it and hold Volume UP button so it boots in Fastboot mode, then in FlashTool click FLASH then select fastboot and press Flash Kernel > flash this one (Download) When it's over just turn on your device as normal and you will have .55 with Root & Recovery. Good Luck
BEFORE INSTALLING KERNEL UNRAR THE PACKAGE YOU NEED ONLY .elf File.
Just Select elite.elf when choosing kernel to flash.
Attached KERNEL is by RaymanFX.

I Solved the Problem partly by using the flash tool to get back the stock os.

You can use the Flash tool to flash the boot.img file in the phone. It's really simple then manually doing it. I am on phone so can not provide you the link. Please use the search button on how to flash boot. Img using flash tool. Looping in boot is because the boot.img was not flashed properly. Use the flash tool to do it. I too had the same problem when I first flashed but soon found out the problem. Reply back if everything works..

CM 10 is a really good Rom with Stable recovery.
You can even download other ROMS of Build NOZOMI - (Code Name For Xperia S) eg Slim Bean build 5 Nozomi JB 4.2.2
And directly flash it from CWM recovery.

Advanced stock kernel for KK 10.5.1.A.0.283
Install all necessary drivers for xperia zl like flashtool drivers and adb drivers.
Steps

Yes, as long as you keep one important thing in mind: this method is for unlocked BL only. Downgrading a kernel works for both locked and unlocked BL.

It's very simple to get the boot.img file from the .zip file. Just right click the file named "Advanced_stock kernel_for_KK_10.5.1.A.0.283.zip", and select the following option "7 - zip -> Extract here". Now you can find your .img file in the extracted location.

For rebooting your xperia device to recovery, First turn off the device, and then turn it on while repeatedly pressing the Volume up button until the recovery mode appears. I'm not sure about what kind of permissions you are talking about. Feel free to ask any doubts.
:good:

Sorry for my insistence. I do what you say, but my device don´t open de recovery mode. I don´t know if I do sometinhg wrong. In my fhashtool appers this step when I make the flashboot with the boot.img archive. When I turn off and after turn on with pressing Volume UP my Xperia run normally, like just pressed only power button.
thank you for time and patience!

Sorry, but I`m not understand anything, because, for install Busybox, or clockwordmod I need to be rooted my device, but for root I need to be recovery?! last year I rooted my other phone, Xperia S and I not have this complication. So. Let´s see.
I make the flashtool steps, now for recovery I need to have intall de clockwordmod, but for recover or for appears the blue light I need to do like the link you send. Right, for make that steps I need to be rooted.
sorry I´m can´t understand. It is not verry complicated system, but I don´t know where or why I can´t.
thank you for time and patience...
You are great guys.

For having a custom recovery mode, your phone doesn't need to be rooted. For Recovery, flash the
"Advance_stock_kernel_for_KK_10.5.A.0.283" image file given in the main thread. Using "Flash tool by Androxyde" (Check main thread).
The screenshots for installation are given in main thread. After installing the recovery, Proceed with the rooting process.
If you can't follow the above method, try this method.

does this method work with build number 10.5.1.A.0.292?
