I have a r800i and when I try to boot it with DoomKernel ICS v0.3 it always boot into the recovery even though I have a room installed.
I installed xDark ICS by opening the zip. I also did a factory wipe, wiped the cache, the debian one, but it still only boots into recovery. When I used DoomKernal v14 with the NXT rom, it boots fine although I can't enter recovery (so I can't patch the wifi). Using the default ftf everything works normally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also search the forums for similar problems but I've only found similar problems with other phones using other kernals and roms.
I am having the same problem, except I cannot even get at recovery, it just sits at Kernel splash screen. Otherwise I'd have restored my nandroid backup already.
I flashed ics doomkernel, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik then flashed rom in CWM and now my device is stuck.
Bootloader unlocked r800a
Can anyone help us two?

:highfive:Both cases sound like bad flashes. For the first post I'd say CWM restore it and try to reflash. For the second post, I'd say use flashtool on your pc and flash a stock rom again.

I have installed Gin2JellyBean on my R800i, but it does not seem to work.
I have flashed DooMKerneL, and using CWM, I flashed Gin2JellyBean. I rebooted my system, and it got passed the DooMKerneL, but it always resets itself after a minute of staying on the Gin2JellyBean boot screen.
How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Make sure you format the data, cache, dalvik cache, and system partitions before you ever flash any rom.
I recommend flashing the latest stock ftf firmware for your phone, reboot and reactivate your phone, then flash DooMKernel. Once you've done that, then format all that I mentioned above in the recovery, THEN flash the firmware, then reboot.

Would R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced.ftf be considered "stock"?
(Sorry, I can't post links yet )

Yes. Reflash stock except kernel since you flashed kernel already. Then go to cwm wipe everything and flash Rom.

Nope, still doesn't seem to work. I have tried different roms that are also build off of a Stock GB, but none of the worked, only DiXperia 2 worked, but no WiFi.
Hi all, I'm pretty familiar with flashing custom ROMs as I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate.
I recently got a Telus T989D, and I'm having some frustrating problems trying to flash a custom ROM. I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed, and have been trying to flash various Cyanogen CM9 ROMs onto the phone. They all install properly, but once it gets to the Cyanogen splash screen (with the Android man turning angry for CM9), it gets stuck here.
I thought perhaps I needed to flash my radio, since all these custom ROMs were for the T-Mobile T989 "hercules" model. So I flashed the SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip hoping that would work. Same problem.
Kind of at a road block here - any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Oh, and to clarify in case anyone asks - I have been doing data/cache/Dalvik wipes in recovery before installing the ROM.

If you are running CWM 5.0.2.7 non touch recovery, you have to use TDJs Superwipe script first to wipe data partition and system partition. Then you flash the ICS radio (if you haven't done so already) then the CM9 ROM, then ICS Gapps.
After this you need to flash TDJs Cache Wipe script. This will properly wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. CWM 5.0.2.7 doesn't wipe and align the cache properly and gives problems. I never had any issues with CWM when running those scripts and it boots up everytime.
Alternatively, you may want to install TWRP 2.2.2 instead of CWM. It's a touch based recovery, but very simple to use and much better than CWM in my opinion. You also don't need to run the scripts since the data and system are wiped properly and cache and dalvik are also cleared properly as well.
If you go to the development section, under the TWRP thread, and search for flashable zip, there is a 2.2.2 flashable available that you can use in CWM. Then the next time you boot into recovery you will be in TWRP instead of CWM.

I just installed TWRP and I'm still running into the same issue. The Cyanogen splash screen just runs indefinitely. Looks like that wasn't the problem? Does it matter if you're rooted or not, if you try to flash a ROM from recovery?

Use the Darkside Superwipe to recreate all your partitions correctly. Sometimes when they are not aligned properly (by TWRP) you get weird boot hangs.
Don't restore data! Instead back everything up with something like Titanium and restore user apps only after the ROM has booted and you are satisfied.
+1 for the last post. Should work 100%!

Ok if you can access recovery then get out the sd card and put it in another working phone then add few more default ROM-s and try them till it's boot.because maybe problem is kernel and you dont know what kernel is in there.
Or just try to flash an other proper kernel.

First of all, don't post questions in the development section, to answer your question, read the guides and stickys which should have been your first port of call.
no real need to put sd card in another phone.
just boot into cwm, goto mounts and storage. and look for something like mount USB storage.
and voila, your sd card will appear on your pc.
p.s try wiping /system from mounts and storage and flashing rom again

First if you want a custom rom on your phone, you will probably need a custom kernel ass well . Kernel is the bios for your phone and rom the OS. Go to the Rom thread and read there witch kernel is recommended for that rom. After flashing the kernel, go to CWM (Recovery) and flash the custom Rom and finally flash the wifi modules associated to that kernel.
CM based Roms does not work at all with stock kernels, they have their own kernels.
If you want a recommendation (for Kernel, Rom, baseband) look in my signature, you have links included !
Don`t forget the procedure for installing custom Rom (wipe everything : factory default, /system, /data, /dalvik) and only after wiping all install the rom.
Problems (assumed):
1. Locked bootloader
2. Didn't flash kernel
Fixes:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash kernel via flashtool.
Hey guys! I've searched alot about this issue but I couldn't find anyone having this problem.
I've got the Xperia arc LT15i with the stock kernel and some 2.3.7 custom rom... can't remember exactly nw.
Off late my phone was responding very slow, so I entered the CWM recovery, cleared the dalvik cache and then performed a factory reset from CWM recovery itself.
Now the problem I face is that I do not get a lockscreen... the default slide to unlock one?
Is it of any use to mention that I used to use linktosd and linked nearly all apps to SD card.
Help would be greatly appreciated
reflash stock rom with flashtool and then flash custom rom, or if you can still access cwm, flash custom rom again
Try this
Go to settings/security/lockscreen security.
Choose slide (the second one)

I'm using an Xperia Arc S(LT18i). I've tried some different ROMs, and some of them boot up normally the first time. But when booted up for the second time and so on, the touch screen is not functioning at all, only physical buttons(Back, menu, power, volume buttons) can be use. May I know how to solve this problem? Plz help...
Give us some more information please. Is your bootloader unlocked, did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing?
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
Yes have unlocked my bootloader. I did wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache before I flash. I even tried to flash using different kernel, but the result is still the same, even the official CM ROM also facing touch screen problem.

have you flashed the right CM rom for your phone?
try flash stock rom, than a custom kernel and rom...
Touch screen issues usually rise, if you install a ROM, which is not for your phone (for example, if you have Arc and you install a ROM for Pro).
I tried to flash using stock ROM, then custom kernel (included in the custom ROM) then only flash the custom ROM... Problem still occur. I also flash the correct ROM, others are using it nicely but me...
