[Q] About flashing cm7 - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i did was
1) download cm and googlepps
2) extract the boot.img to x10 lib in the flashtool folder
3) connect phone in fastboot mode flash the kernel
4) reboot phone went into recovery mode
5) wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe user wipe batterystats
6) install through sd card zip
7) reboot into system
and my phone still bootloops anything that i have done wrong? Bl is unlocked, phone rooted.

If it's the last version of cm7 try an older version of kernel. I always flash kernels with fastboot and till now never got problems.

[Q] <URGENT> Phone Dead! :'(

Hey guyz!
Well, Here's my story
I unlocked the bootloader of my Arc..... Flashed the 0.42 rooted .ftf file and well I had my arc.
I took backup of all my stuff and thought of installing CM7.
So well, I downloaded the latest CM7 Mod from the website stable one and fastboot'd (or whatever the language is) the boot.img into my arc.
And den I booted my phone into recovery mode, wiped my cache, system and data and flashed the update_cm7.1.zip file into it.
Not my phone after booting up dosent work. It shows the lock screen and within a second boots again :'(
I searched and found that I did not install the CWM Recovery and guessed that it was crucial for it.
Now I have a dead phone.
Can you Pleaaaaaaaase Help Me out!
My mobile is my life and my parents will kill me
Thanks Alot!
Install doom kernel via fastboot

Done Doom Kerenal
Still going into Infinite BootLoop!!
you usually wipe everything(user data, cache, dalvik cache) after flashing the ROM
or try repeating the whole process
- flash .42 ftf file using flashtool 0.6.7 then disconnect device
- fastboot flash boot boot.img(from the CM7 package) then disconnect device
- power-on and go to recovery then flash the CM7 ROM then GAPPS
- wipe user data, cache and dalvik cache
- reboot
I suggest you also try FXP105 package here in XDA, I think it's more updated than the one from official CM7 site

What are you talking about?
DooMKernel is for stock based ROMs, not for CM.
I'd recommend to you to check out FXP's CM7, it's way better and stable, imo.

Do that and follow these steps:
dp94 said:
Connect your device with your current ROM to a PC.
Put the ROM (*.zip file) on your sdcard.
Shutdown device.
Connect your device with fastboot mode (pressing menu button) to a PC.
Go to your fastboot folder.
Press shift key, right click and select "Open command window here".
Install kernel by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
After installing disconnect your device from PC.
Enter CWM recovery by pressing volume down button several times while booting.
Do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Select install zip from sdcard.
Navigate to the folder you've saved the ROM and select it.
After installing select reboot system now.

Now I got the same problem as Serebii. I've done all you've said, but I just get a black screen flashing the kernel. The fxp-Logo doesn't appear and I can't get into recovery mode.
Have you guys flashed .42 firmware before?
Or are you using a different?
You'd have to flash .42 firmware (look into CM7 thread) and then do the above steps again.
guys, when flashing kernel, look closely on your fasboot command window if there's something like "1 bad blocks encountered" message
should be "0 bad blocks encountered" for the kernel to work fine from what I know
Did That
Still Nothing...
Although Unlike macmeir, I'm able to go into recovery adn first see SE, and den CM7 boot logo
And also 1 second of the CM7 Welcome screen.
Thats It
Yea, It isnt showing any bad blocks
Now I got my phone back to life. I flashed the .42 firmware with flashtool. But then I had to install the fxp103-stuff. I cleared all caches, etc. It's strange; I did it before but it didn't work. I don't know if I've done something different.
But I'm still not able to run fxp104 or 105. I won't try again soon, because I spend five hours to get my device working.
Thanx for your help and good luck to you, Serebii.
good for you.
btw, you can also try Doomkernel on stock ROM, it's a great combo, I always go back to that setup
OK,
I flashed the latest CM7.2 And My Phone's alive Again!
A Biiiiiiiiig Thanks to Everybody!!

Boot keeps restarting :(

i was rooting my arc s and it was successfully rooted after that i wanted to install some custom rom on it, i tryed the Modded ICS one and installed there boot.img and now my phone just reboots after it shows the "XPERIA" logo
Please help im new at flashing )
Thanks
hi
So u have flashed boot but not rom?
U need to have the rom on your SD .
Turn off phone boot it up and when boot logo appears repeatly press back button (not sure if there's an indicater on that kernel or not)
This should boot cwm when in cwm make a backup
Select backup and restore then backup
When this completes wipe data ,clear cache and advanced clear dalvik cache
now select install zip from SD ,then choose zip from SD,then locate your rom file select it and hit yes when it finishes ,reboot and enjoy
Volume rocker moves up and down
And home or power button selects
If u can't get into cwm u have made a mistake flashing boot so reflash it before the above
Failing this return to stock by flash original fw thru flash tool
Plenty of tuts on that just search
Hope that helps

is not the solution,i try several times,and always the same results.
Try:
1) copy your rom into sdcard.
2) flash your kernel under fastboot mode, then reboot.
3) keep press volumn button while rebooting, it should b under cwm screen.
4) wipe dalvik cache under advance
5) wipe data partition
6) factory reset, then reboot again
7) go into cwm screen again, then choose install zip frm sdcard, choose n run the rom that u copy into sdcard earlier. Reboot again after completed.
8) u shall wait for a while when restarting... Then should b ok....
U may try this, dunno whether work for u not.

Reminder:
For mooded ics rom, U must use ics stock kernel or doomlord ics advanced stock kernel, its run quite well for me...

I flashed my arc s last night with ICS Kernel with CWM Recovery and JJ's rom, had the same problem but as the above poster mentioned, wipe everything sorted out the problem.
Note: Just factory reset not enough you have to wipe everything

Newbie help with VZN GN

So I decided to root my phone and upgrade to JB. But after I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, flashed CWM Recovery and downloaded "Vicious JellyBean V2- No SU Zip necessary- Francos kernel and WiFi fix Zip" then went in to fastboot mode and installed it, my phone is hanging up on the new multicolored x splash screen and will not load. I waited 30 mins, I bricked it. So I went back into fastboot mode and reinstalled the JB, but still same thing.
So I am without a phone because I dont know what to do. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!! TIA
what do you mean by fastboot mode. You should have been flashing it through clockwork. Did you wipe your data, cache and Dalvik cache before hand? Or make a nandroid backup before installing Liquid?
If not sounds as if you are going to need the toolkit or push the stock files via adb to flash back to stock then start again
Get this set up.
I don't feel like debugging for two hours via text and reply.
I'll recover as much as I can.
Edit:

Lol, meant to paste that link.
Once that's installed I'll remote connect to your PC and try to fix this.

I wiped with toolkit didnt cache or Dalvik cache. I have a replacement device coming today and want to try again. Is there a link to somewhere with step by step directions. I would assume the replacement device has factory settings so do I have to wipe, etc?

Manual Method
Toolkit Method
Just download a JB rom from the Development forum after you've unlocked bootloader, flashed a custom recovery, and have rooted your phone. Most are bug and glitch free...
I reflashed JB and it worked!!! Thanks guys!! Love JB

[Q] Boot Loop, Need help!

i have been running the kiss kernel for a while now, last night i tried to flash the hellboy kernel and retern to my pacman rom. but it still boots, i have cleared all my caches formated everything but my sd card, have tried flashing all kiss kernels and multipul hellboy kernels, but never gets passed the boot screen.. any ideas?
i managed to get it to the android is upgrading.. starting apps thing, but it gets stuck there.
Did you wipe anything when you flashed the kernel? If the kernel was for jellybean it shouldn't hang like that... not sure?

also not running the newest version of that rom, i am running v15a
Oh okay wellllll I'm on virgin mobile and I don't know much about the primou phones and rom and kernel compatibility so I'm afraid I'll have to leave this to someone who knows more... good luck to you though... maybe try booting into bootloader from the recovery and flash the boot.img you had before then flash the rom again?

Did you use the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img or just
fastboot boot boot.img?
Also,after flashing it,does the terminal say something like this?
Okay.
Okay.
Finished.
Edit:also,see that you are flashing the kernel in the fastboot screen(where it says 'fastboot usb'),and not in the Hboot(bootloader) screen.

i am using the all in one tool kit to flash my kernel, yes i am in fastboot, a window pops up runs through code and my phone reboots, i have changed the kernel on it before, but for some reason this time it wont boot properly at all, the phone is currently at the " android is upgrading" screen, it was the starting apps box with the spinning circle
if you say that it is stuck at android is upgrading - that's because the dalvik works and it is deodexing your gapps.
so i suppose you flashed kernel, flashed rom and gapps and rebooted. well this works from time to time but you have to reboot between flashing rom and gapps.
1. download this kernel: hellboy
2. go to bootloader and flash the kernel.
3. go to recovery and: do a factory reset + wipe system - no need for wiping dalvik or cache cause factory reset does them both.
4. flash your rom
5. reboot.
6. if it boots properly, reboot to recovery and now flash GAPPS package.

What are the steps you are taking to flash your rom and boot.img?
when you flash your rom it should go into aroma.. choose the option that says do full wipe, if you dont you'll run into problems. after you have flashed it, flash your boot.img in fastboot mode from your computer then do fastboot erase cache to prevent any problems from the boot.img. Can you give me the steps your taking to flash?

Wiping is VERY IMPORTANT! if the necessary steps arn't taken then you can mix up new codes with the old codes leaving you with many different problems. Thats why devs ALWAYS recomment wiping even when Wiping isnt needed to avoid such problems. Also you might want to check your md5 sum from your downloaded rom.. could potentially be a bad download
