Help installing FXP 129 on R800a - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm trying to get FXP129 cm9 working on my r800a and im having some issues. I flashed back to stock rom and then updated it, put the fxp zip on my sd card and flash the kernel. Here's where my problem starts. upon reboot I get nothing, no fxp no recovery just a blank screen. If I pull the battery I can get into fastboot or flash mode to get back to stock but I can't get fxp booting. I think it may be because I haven't updated the baseband but I can't figure out which baseband I should use for my phone based on the options available in the thread. If someone could go to the thread below or tell me which baseband I need and how to upgrade it (I assume using flashtool) I'd be grateful. My phone would be zeus on their codename list.
I'd have posted this in the fxp thread but I don't have 10 posts so I can't post there.

this just exactly what had happened to me a few days ago, and now i'm enjoying my cm9 perfectly, only little glitch
here you go, in my case i downloaded the wrong file and input the wrong command in fastboot mode
you can download the file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783422 , extract and put the file into your fastboot folder, and put the zip file and gapps file into your sd card
then type this if you have opened fastboot windows command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then, fastboot flash reboot to reboot your phone
now you've flashed the fxp kernel!
next, go into the recovery mode after rebooting and cyanogenmod logo show up, keep pressing volume down button
if you're there, then you need to wipe data factory. wipe cache and dalvik cache
afterwhile install the zip file and gapps file and wait til you're new look xperia play be born again
hope this'll help

You sir, are wonderful. Thank you so much!

or
tried flash another rom that you have zip inside phone?if you dirty flash,you simple don't loose anything..and the boot.img it's reflashed.

Try restoring from nand backup or reinstall the ROM

As nexxusdev is implying, just flash your ROM again.

its stock JB rom flashed it over with galaxy nexus toolkit and downloaded the rom from google's site so its not a zip flashable
thanks all for replys and sorry for thw wrong section
im not sure but i remember on my g2x you could hook up phone from recovery mode and mount it on the computer with sd card .. have you looked around in CWM? This is your fault to be honest you deserve this for not making a NAND back up. ALWAys MAKE A BACK UP! period. There is a reason why devs and everyone else stress' it so much.
Sert00 is right. Flash any [previously] working ROM on it. It will be a dirty flash and some stuff won't work, but you'll be able to backup your data. You'll reflash again later

Unfortunately, at least with these beta realeases of JB, usb mount via recovery almost never work.
Try what sert00 told you.

[HOWTO] ONE V how to revert back to Stock ROM

I have recent version of One V gotten from Virgin Mobile during the cyber Monday sale. I really wanted to try jellybean so I tried AOKP cdma (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878994)
I used All-In-One Tool Kit by hasoon2000 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686) first to unlock and flash recovery. It has a video on how to use it too. vey nice.
Then I flash the AOKP 11/19 nightly rom but something was not right, it was booting OK but every 20~30 seconds, the phone rebooted itself. They say recent One V with the OTA update experiences this symtoms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The solution is to go back to stock rom.
Pre requirements which are already available if you downloaded All-In-One Tool
1. HTC drivers are installed
2. Android SDK installed
The way to go back to stock rom is to use RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591059)
For the virgin mobile USA CDMA, you can download
"RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe"
Make sure you download the correct RUU. Otherwise , you will break your phone !
Execute the RUU executable and go to temp folder by typing %temp% in your explorer window. It will create two temporay folders with long names. Once the wizard screen appears, one of the folders contains another long named folder that contains 'rom.zip' file. Copy the 'rom.zip' file into the directory where 'fastboot.exe' is located. You can close the RUU wizard screen now.
This is the full temp path for me.
C:\Users\%windows7_userid%\AppData\Local\Temp\{8AB121A4-D261-43DF-A709-93BCAAEE61DB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Now execute below commands from the CMD window from the directory where the fastboot.exe is located.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
Then reboot normally to see your Stock rom !
After that, I reflashed the AOKP 11/19 nightly rom, and now it is working like a charm! I love it!.
See my phone with jellybean! Note that AOKP 11/19 is pretty stable, video recording is working good , but with minor graphic glitches time to time. The glitches occurs and disappears right away, so it's not a big deal.
I followed your instructions and was able to revert to the stock rom. The problem now is that ClockWorkMod recovery no longer work and I can't reflashed the AOKP rom. When I try, the phone displays a processing icon and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark. That's when I have to hold down the power bottun to shutdown manually. I can still boot into bootloader though.
I tried going through the steps to install recovery.img again but somewhere/somehow as the cmd are executed I see a line that says failed.
Do you have any idea what's causing the problem?

Hello, Basically processing icon with red triangle shows when you go into recovery mode with the stock rom.
what happens is that we have to lock the phone to install the stock rom to work properly ( This commands locked the phone --> fastboot oem lock )
So you have to perform the unlock and flash the recovery again after reverting to the stock rom . Try the ALL IN ONE Tool kit.
Basically when flashing your recovery to clockworkmod and then installing aokp (for the one v) download a seperate boot.img which is in the topic because the one included in the AOKP zip caused mine to lock up as well. Once you flash boot.img with one of the newest (CM10 bla blabla) it was ok for me.

I tried the fastboot oem unlock command and also reflash the recovery using the All In One Tool Kit but was unsuccessful. What am I doing wrong?
I have included attachments of the cmd screen to give you more context to what is happening.
Thanks Tomskii for the advice and will keep it in mind when choosing rom but my current problem is that I am unable to access the CWM recovery to flash any rom.
What happen was I flashed to the CM10 rom but it kept rebooting after few seconds.
Multiple xda post says to revert to an earlier stock rom to fix the RADIO version.
I am now in the current position:
stock rom with RADIO 1.00.00.0521_2(Which I believe is correct)
No access to CWM recovery from Hboot screen
fastboot oem unlock cmd is not executing
All In One not able to flash recovery or boot in recovery

It looks like the phone is not unlocked.
Enable the USB debugging under the developer option setting then perform the tasks by running "One V 1.2.exe"
then follow step 1 through 5 to unlock your stock rom phone.
then your flash recovery command would not fail.

See: latest boot.img but I just read that isn't the problem. Have you tried reflashing your recovery.img with a newer CWM?

Ok decided to use TWRP b/c the All-In-One has it for CDMA and now able to access recovery. Yay. Thanks nurungji.
Next I tried to reflash CM10 version 20121108, along with Gapps and the steps I did before the stock rom like clear cache and boot.img from the zip.
But now when I reboot, the phone is stuck on the CyanogenMod load screen. I waited over 10 mins before I shutdown manually. Before the earlier stock rom, I was able to go to the "register google account" screen before the phone rebooted.
I tried to redo the whole process again like some said on other threads but keep getting the same result. I also tried the AOKP 12/05 but got a black screen.
Any advice would be appreciated.
**Update**
Took about the whole day but finally everything is working properly. The boot.img from the Tomskii didn't work. Maybe b/c it was from a PrimoU Aokp page and my phone is PrimoC.
It is currently using supersick kernel from simonsimons34. It solves the wifi problem for the CM10 version 12/20.

Hey congratulation, you are almost there. I am not sure about CM10 mod because I didn't try CM10 because the video recording didn't work at the time I was looking to try Jellybean. So I decided to use AOKP but anything after 11/19 nightly version shows just black screen ( I tried every night version)
I am currently using 11/19 version now.

[Q] [HELP][Xperia S]Struck with many problems on my Xperia S while flashing CM10

Hi All,
First of all, Thanks to XDA and FreeXperia project. You guys are doing great.
Problem Description:
Initially my phone had a Genuine ICS 4.04 from Sony Xperia [build 6.1.A.2.55]. I heard about CM10 and Jelly Bean 4.1.2 for Xperia S and I wanted to try it out.
So, at first, for unlocking the bootloader, I followed a few procedures suggested in XDA forums about Xperia S and Youtube videos on how to root it and so, I was able to unlock it successfully.
Next while flashing(This is where I made a mistake) , I downloaded FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip from FreeXperia project site.
I pushed the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip to sdcard.
I flashed boot.img, but the flash didnt succeed.
Later I figured out that I had to download FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip. The LT26i was a.k.a "nozomi".
I flashed boot.img now again which is from FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip, then I could see the FreeXpria Logo and purple light on top. I pressed vol up to enter recovery mode.
But, now the zip image in sdcard is FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip. So, I cannot flash that.
Is there anyway for me to copy the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip file in my PC to a location in sdcard of phone so that I can point to it during the recovery mode or during fastboot mode, to take it and flash it ??
Is there anyway for me to completely redo the whole set of procedures, putting my phone to a sane state, fully working state with old 4.04 running on it ??
Later, adding to the list of risks, I tried the below command to flash all the contents in the FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip file after all the above procedures.
" fastboot flash system FXP202-cm-10-20130110-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi.zip "
I see that it succeeds in flashing too, but didnt boot up.
Help me to proceed now.

Make sure your boot loader is unlocked
Use cm 9.1 from here get.cm.com Zeusc 9.1
Copy boot image from Zeusc file zip and place on your PC. Connect phone turn on mass storage mode and put the intact cm9.1Zeusc zip on SD along with a copy of google apps signed for ics 4.04 on sdcard
Turn phone off then hold search button while you plug the USB light should appear blue
Flash the boot.IMG file using flashtool. Selct kernel to flash via fast boot.
Once done unplug phone the turn on.
Clockwork mod is on the boot.IMG file use cwm not to install the zip.
Be sure and create a back up before you wipe/ then install zips

chery2k meant was to put the .zip file on your SD card and install from cwm:good:Looking at your 1st post your problem seems to be a status 7 error this sometimes is associated with a bad download problem or with cwm or sometimes reading your device ro.build.product.If you are still having problems I would suggest downloading again which I think you tried but I would also try a different kernel that is compatible with cm9.
Your problem does not seem to be how you are flashing but what you are flashing :good:Just make sure you flash your kernel of choice first followed by your rom cm9
I unlocked my bootloader through sonys website. I just wana make sure I understand correctly. In addition to flashing the img file that's in the cm9 folder I needless to flash a kernel. I was only flashing the cm9s . img file and was using the recove

Make sure your boot loader is unlocked
Use cm 9.1 from here get.cm.com Zeusc 9.1
Copy boot image from Zeusc file zip and place on your PC. Connect phone turn on mass storage mode and put the intact cm9.1Zeusc zip on SD along with a copy of google apps signed for ics 4.04 on sdcard
Turn phone off then hold search button while you plug the USB light should appear blue
Flash the boot.IMG file using flashtool. Selct kernel to flash via fast boot.
Once done unplug phone the turn on.
Clockwork mod is on the boot.IMG file use cwm not to install the zip.
Be sure and create a back up before you wipe/ then install zips

:silly:Why you quoting me?If you read the post I was referring to the lupus kernel which if you did your research is back button to enter recovery not down button!Some kernels/recoveries are accessed in different way's.
lol

Pretty sure lupus does have a cm9.1 compatible kernel... either way watch the way you talk to others.

HELP xperia play kernel bootloops and freezes

hello there my names kyle and im new here but you can call me sangy, anyway i have joined the site to post this
i have had my play now for 6 months and i want ics and a new kernel, i heard lupus was the best one so i flashed lupus using fastboot and the correct rom. i have followed all steps correctly and the dam thing just boot loops after 1 min of booting unless i have my usb in my pc at which point the phone will stay on like it should without a single bootloop. so with a potentially bricked phone i flashed the stock firmware back v4.0.2.A.0.58 and re flashed a different kernel and rom still the same issue so i flashed back to stock again. if anyone can tell me how to solve this weird ass issue i will rate you +1 because im getting sick of having no cwm and incompatibilities with apps and i want to overclock
ps im planning on flashing doomkernel v14 hope this problem is gone but i know it will have the same issue.
my phones current state is this
xperia play r800i
stock kernel(2.6.32.9-perf) [email protected]#1
FW 4.0.2.A.0.58
baseband 64
android 2.3.4 ginger bread with root and unlocked boot loader
thats everything i know thanks for reading and helping in advance
edit: sorry if im not been precise but by boot loop i mean hot boot where the phone will run fine for 3 min then freeze and reboot on its own until i pull the battery or plug in usb in pc upon hard reset it even does this in kernel boot up

which lupus kernel, ics+gb v7 or lupus ics beta v12. have you tried flashing through flashtool because it always works for me and which ics rom as their are tons.
hello thanks for the quick reply
ive tryed the lupus ics+gb kernel latest version with the ics beta rom for xperia play and ive also tryed the lupus gb kernel latest version
and yes i have flash tool and all the drivers but a nice reccomendation on what to flash next based on my phones spec at the moment would be nice
also why am i the only person on the internet with this problem? ive heard of having 60+ apps on the sd to cuase hot booting but for me this is just out of the ordinare, particulary when ive whiped all the phone and flashed a new kernel.

With Lupus kernel, use R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79 firmware
will be flashing that stock firmware now over my other one then put lupus gb+ics over the stock kernel
will let you know if it goes well and fixes this
unfortunatly it did not fix it rom loads up, gets to the regular sony setup then freezes and hot boots. did this with lupus kernel ics+gb and the 4.0.A.0.79 firmware you linked me to. its either the kernel or my phone
just tryed doomkernel v14 with your FW kernel still crashes and reboots, is there something i have to do in flashtool because
every kernel ive flashed yet has the same issue.
note i can get a catlog app whilst it is plugged in then unplug it and wait for the crash and send it to you and you can see where its going wrong with the kernel and tell me what to do
thanks for reading these updates and sorry its taking this long to find and fix a big bug :good:

Did you tried any other ics/gb rom? Wipe your system/data from recovery before installing (and by installing i mean install from recovery with "install zip from sdcard")
Ps: maybe its stupid question, but is your sdcard full??? How much free space on it?
what recovery? this is an xperia play they dont have a recovery on stock kernels thats why im flashing one and no my sd card is not full
literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

For Lupus kernel - when powering on, keep pressing volume down for clockworkmod recovery or volume up for TWRP recovery.
Flash ROM from recovery that match kernel. Lupus ICS/GB V7 is for ics/gb roms based on stock (Sony) roms. Read in ROM's thread which kernel is recommended
With flashtool you can only flash .img files and in Xperia Play case, that is ONLY ics beta rom (but almoust all kernels come in .img format - so Flashtool is used to flash kernel). From recovery you can flash every other rom that you can find (just make sure that kernel match rom or else you'll get kernel bootloop)
ok this will be crystal clear
i can flash the kernal but even when booting the kernal and going into recovery to even flash a rom it will freeze and hot boot
meaning i did everything correctly with flashtool to do the kernel and with just the kernel installed (no rom) it still freezes and hot boots
as soon as i can stop these kernels from freezing i can flash whatever ics or gb there is in recovery
note: what are your settings for your flashtool as i might be missing a setting also the info from flashtool says at startup to disable MTP for 2011 devices, would this be my problem?

what kernel are you trying to flash? Be specific!
What rom are you trying to flash?
Disconnect phone from PC after you flashed your rom (any one, first boot must be done while disconnected)
the kernel i would like mostly is the lupus kernel
i can flash every kernel no problems, its the fact that the kernel crashes etc i can also flash the correct rom using flashtool the same thing happens
the case im trying to make is that you first install the kernel then flash your rom in recovery then the extras like wifi modules to the kernel
the kernel (dosent matter which one i try for my device ) has the hot boot issue happen to it no matter what i do before i even have a chance to install the rom(again the correct rom stock or not).
and yes i know you have to wait for boot ups on new roms and kernels, this isnt the first time i have flashed roms as i have a galaxy tab 2 running cm10 for the most part.
again thanks for the quick replys but i think this will require more technical solutions or debugging with my phone or software.
Install cwm on your phone. Search xparts on play store. Go into recovery and wipe system and wipe data and cache then turn off your phone. Open flashtool. Hold search while plugging your phone in and then flash kernel

thank you for for saying that after 1 hour, will try that now and test the kernel for 20 - 5 min
if this works tell the kernel devs to make proper instructions on this

did these exact instructions but the new xparts dosent work so luckily the community had the older version that works,
followed everything buy the book installed cwm using xparts after root went into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and i even wiped the dalvik cache, flashed the lupus ics+gb kernel booted into the custom lupus recovery (scrolled through the menu a minute) then as expected kernel crash followed by hot boot
any other ideas?

Fully working steps:
-download eraser.zip in attachment, unpack it somewhere in pc
-Start flashtool, enter flash mode, hold back button on phone, connect to pc and flash .79 firmware. DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!
-Disconnect phone and connect again in fastboot mode (hold search button while plugging it back)
-Flash Lupus ICS/Gb 480p or 720p kernel
-While still in fastboot mode, double-click file name "start.bat" from where you unpacked file in attachment.
-Disconnect phone, power on and keep pressing volume down untill you enter recovery
-Install rom and reboot

Try pressing volume up when powering on to enter twrp recovery
