[Q] Kernels?

Hi, I'm new to kernels but I just have one question before I think about going ahead with flashing one. I want to flash the Doomlord kernel on my Xperia Play R800i but I want to know if after I've flashed it I can go back to the original stock kernel if I want to and how I can do this? Can anyone shed some light into this? - Thanks

Yes, you can

[ how to get back to stock kernel OR older versions of my kernel (v06 and lower) ]
download the stock wifi modules update.zip
extract the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) file from the stock FTF u used to flash this fimware
save the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
save the wifi modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
reboot phone and enter recovery
flash the stock wifi modules update.zip
power down device
start device in fastboot mode
use the following command to flash the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels)
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

Hey mate, if you are a beginner in flashing kernals be sure you have Flashtool installe dand ready to go. The classic way is to download the fastboot files and flash kernals through CMD which may be a bit difficult as you have to learn the codes and shiz. but to make your life easier install this little handy tool called flashtool.
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
1) I know download speed may be dodgy but trust me, easiest tool to use! After installing head over to its directory files and inside the "drivers" folder Run the application "Flashtool-drivers.exe" and go on and install everything. (can take a long time). Then after run the program without your phone hooked up with USB debugging on click on the flash icon (the first option from left) chose fastboot mode. Click on Reboot into fastboot mode via ADB. Then press "Select Kernal to Flash" and chose the desired kernal you have downloaded and after a couple of seconds you are good to go. An alternative way is to switch off the phone, hold the search button and plug in the usb into the phone. If you have done this correctly the LED should turn blue on the phone.
2) If you didn't like what you have now with your phone, you can set everything back to the way it was before as if you have never touched the phone. kernal would go back to defult as well. It's a very simple process and can be done through "Flashtool" (Notice: you will lose everything however, not personal files like photos though if you chose to flash the whole FTF along with system files). Simply make sure the phone is switched off and set it into flash mode by holding down the "back" button and inserting the USB into the phone. The LED should turn green now. Again click on the flash icon in flashtool but this time select "flashmode".
Here you will be flashing a stock ftf file to put everything back to the way it was. Bootloader must be unlocked however. You can chose to only reflash the Kernal only or Kernal and everything else like the ROM and Baseband.
You can download the tft file here: https://rapidshare.com/files/698194045/R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf
This is stock firmware baseband 64. Put the file into the folder named "firmwares" in the directory of flashtool program. Then carry on from my instructions and after selecting the "flashmode" you will be faced by a window showing the ftf file you are about to flash. On the right side you will see options and by leaving the "exclude kernal" option UNTICKED and all other options TICKED, you can have your Kernal set back to default. But you can do your own combination depending on what you'd like. Then press ok and the process will begin, I don't know how long it will take as I have never reverted back to ONLY the default kernal. I usually just flash the whole FTF file leaving all options unticked but the "Wipe use data" and "Wipe cache". If at this stage you didn't do the process of putting the phone into flash mode as I instructed earlier it's fine. A window would open showing you animated instructions on how to to do it now. then it should automatically carry on with the process.
Goodluck

Wow, thanks for the really detailed explanation! I've used flashtool but have never flashed a kernel before. Your instructions are really detailed and helpful, thanks. So to my understanding I can get my bootloader unlocked, flash a kernel, mess around, then just flash the stock .ftf and everything including the kernel would be back as if I'd never touched the phone and had just purchased it new? - Thanks

Yes that is correct! Everything will be changed back to the way it used to be, including Kernal, System files and so on. Although you can now even relock the bootloader using tools provided by blagus, the drm keys are not retrievable, just saying incase you care but those are complex stuff that doesn’t apply to you as it makes no difference to system performance. I don't even know why some people may want to be able to retrieve it. My phone's touch screen stopped working a few months ago and I simply flashed that tft and relocked the bootloader and seemed like my warranty was intact evidently, hence they fixed my phone
From my understanding you still haven't unlocked the bootloader. Although for me seemed difficult at first, I followed these instructions linked on this web link below and in no time you will be flashing kernals and Roms.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play:_Full_Update_Guide
Only follow the guide to the point you have unlocked the bootloader. It continues showing you how to flash CM7 which is kinda outdated now. lol

[Q] Xperia Play R800at in bootloop USB Debugging off cannot get in fastboot mode

Trying to fix an Xperia Play R800at. It was running the R800a 2.3.4 North American Generic ftf, and my son had rooted it using gingerbreak (he thinks) on flashtool. Also at one point he attempted to unlock the bootloader but doesn't think that worked
Anyway, the phone was running fine for a long while, and then we switched from a 16gb sd to a 32gb sd. During the switch my son moved some games from the phone memory to the sd. Other than the loss of game progress, everything seemed to be working fine. About a week later the screen started going black during games or when he closed the phone. Because of the feedback he could tell the phone was still operating, just no lit screen. The problem would clear on reboot.
So we researched the problem on Sony and XDA, and it appears the best solution was to reload the software. However since the phone was rooted we had to reload using flashtool first, and then force a recovery reload via PCC. Meanwhile the phone display stopped working altogether and the phone would vibrate but seemingly not boot up.
Steps we have taken so far:
- flashed back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 using flashtool Result: flashtool said successful but phone would vibrate but not boot
- used PCC to load the Xperia R800 Play software Result: software for phone not found
- used X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf just in case my son was able to unlock the bootloader
- flashed back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 using flashtool Result: flashtool said successful but phone would vibrate but not boot
- used PCC and the Sony Recovery to load the Xperia R800 Play software onto the phone Result: successful load but goes into bootloop (SE logo comes up bright, fades, blacks out, and does it again and again
- tried various other play ftfs in flashtool - flashtool now telling me USB Debugging is off, and WARN - This file is ignored : simlock.ta - ftf loads otherwise, but Sony's Recovery tool does not recognize anything but the AT&T software
- went back to AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 and then re-updated on Sony - same bootloop
- tried to boot the phone in fastboot mode by holding the search button and plugging the usb in - appears to connect in flash mode
So - I believe it is now un-rooted, and relocked, USB Debugging is off, the standard AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 software is on there, it goes into bootloop
Any ideas how to fix from here?

I got a soft bick recently in my Xperia Play r800a, but the screen always worked. What I did was flash an r800i ftf and it worked. The simlock.ta omission is maybe an effect of flashing the x10 BL unlock bundle, but it doesnt work to unlock the xplay, and maybe thats why the phone is like that (who knows..... just never flash something made for other model until it is confirmed to work on yours, like some arc and neo v basebands and scripts)
The debugging off state is caused by the stock ftf flashed. When you flash it you get a complete new system with stock configs, so the debuggin is set off by default and thats what you got. Its also unrooted, just if you were wondering
Maybe you should try flashing an r800i ftf (all r800a,at,i work on your device, cause they are all GSM. But NEVER flash an r800x Rom cause it works on CDMA, and it will surely brick your phone.
You could also try to flash a custom stock-based Rom. They can work on stock kernel and will give you a clean sytem as well, but since your screen is not working, it has to be in .ftf format. Just check 'skip kernel' and 'skip confirmation' when doing so.
The only method for a branded phone for unlocking bootloader is to use testpont method (paid) by alejandrissimo (look unlock-bootloader.com). He maybe repair your phone btw

when you did this were you using the latest version of flashtool? installed all adb drivers? is the AT&T 3.0.1.8.0.285 the original back up image of the phone it was rooted? or did you download this from any other source?

I actually did the Blagus relocking ftf which says it is for the Play too here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334 After I did this Sony Mobile Update Service started recognizing the phone and 285 sw version and allowed software download and repair.
I figured the Debugging setting and the rooting reset when I flashed it. I tried r800i ftf - same problem. Was thinking about a custom ROM but first things first. I am going to replace the ribbon cable and try again. I suspect the original problem was possibly ribbon cable related. (I shot alejandrissimo a note and he suggested I try this first as well.)
Thanks both for your reponses.

Arc S locked, only Sony logo shows

I was going to install a rom for the first time, it didnt went well
This is what I have done
- Root the phone with flashtool(from 578 to 562 and backt to 578)
- Unlocked bootloader with flashtool and unlock key from sony
- Installed CWM with this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2013/03/31/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-sony-xperia-arc-s/
- Did an backup on CWM
- Wipde/reset
- Installed this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325640 and forgot to install the patch for Sony Arc S LT18i
and also miss those in the guide:
- Unlocked bootloader.
- DooMKernel (modules included for v15-v19) or StockPlus (modules in download section).
- Baseband 64/66. Baseband 36 requires a patch.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So when Im starting the phone the only thing that happend is that the Sony logo is showing And I cant access CWM anymore when pressing volume down when starting... The computer dosnt recognize the phone, I can still take out the sd-card from the phone and the sd-card to a memorycard-reader and connect the card to my pc.
So I need all help I can get, how could I fix this?

I believe you did not flash a custom kernel?
Just turn off the phone, hold menu while plugging phone into computer usb, use flashtool and fastboot to flash a custom kernel (DoomKernel, for example in your ROM thread), and after that, you can access CWM like normal.
Btw, wrong section. This forum is intented for development only, not for help.

I have an unlocked bootloader, I've updated my drivers and the phone works and is rooted. I have NOT got CWM.
Phone is stuck on .96 ROM (my stock) but .211 stock kernel.
I've read dozens of threads, sorry if it's something simple I've missed. To make matters more difficult I'm working off a linux laptop with no access to Windows, so I've had to translate commands etc to try flash through a terminal rather than through flashtool.
Cheers.

Hi, Did you find out how to fix it? I am now getting the same problem. I am using the latest flashtool-0.9.16.1 and trying to install C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Generic AU_1277-0078.ftf on my xperia z1.

Try using another .ftf file and install ALL/MOST of the drivers in the Fastboot > Drivers. It now says flasing on my SP but it might be the same for other too hopefully.

I can't remember exactly what step fixed this, but I basically did everything again.
I downloaded the flashtool drivers and ftf's / kernels again, and tried different methods; both using full ftf's and kernel only .sin's, and tried to install a recovery alone and using both fastboot and flashmode.
Eventually something worked. Also, at one point my phone said it wasn't rooted but it was. Dunno if that part of the problem or just a symptom.
I'll update if I remember anything more useful.

I had the same problem. My fault was, that i started the flashmode on the phone and opend than the ftf file on my pc and started to flash.
But it works if i open the ftf file and hit the flash button and follow the instructions to start the phone in flashmode.

thank you very much

Thank you all for your help finally it worked

Strange indeed, setting the Acro S in Flashmode prior to starting the flashing via Flashtool gives me this error.
Setting the Acro S in Flashmode when promted by Flashtool to do so, allows me to flash anything...

I got an xperia arc s from someone with mcafee security lock on it. I can't get into the phone and I'm not able to perform a hard reset as the key combination isn't working so the only option I think I have now is to flash the phone but I'm getting this "loader.sin" error whether I set the device in flashmode or I'm prompted by the flashtool. I've already tried 2 firmware files, does anyone know a way I can fix this device?
EDIT: I downloaded a different firmware and an earlier version of the flashtool and it worked :good:

Root Firmware 18.1.A.1.21

There is a way to root new firmware 18.1.A.1.21 . Tested by myself on my new Xperia T3 (D5103).
Follow the steps below. Credits to him: ( Taken from this post: http://forum.android.com.pl/f1428/root-dla-xperii-t3-456064/ )
1. Install ADB drivers. Follow the steps from this post (Method 1 better): http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/ IMPORTANT: CHECK THAT YOUR PHONE CONNECTS TO PC VIA ADB BEFORE PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP.
2. With Flashtool, flash the .21 firmware, if you didn't have already flashed.
3. Turn on the phone. Active USB debugging and Install apps from unknown sources.
4. Turn off phone, and flash .14 kernel with flashtool. Download kernel from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GorbT9vz2qSlczRHlPWGdKb1U
5. Turn on phone, and connect it to PC via USB. Doesn't matter if phone get stuck in "Updating apps" screen.
6. Download last version of root toolkit by cubeundcube: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559009. With phone connected to PC, launch install.bat from the toolkit. Follow the steps until the phone reboots.
7. Now turn off the phone, and flash again the kernel from .21 firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GorbT9vz2qQm91VU4wWnZvd28
8. Reboot and now you're on .21 firmware and rooted :good:

Nice one..
Is there no one click method...
Im already on 18.1.A.1.21 firmware

Nice tutorial, the only one I've found!

Do I need to exclude TA in flashtool?
thanks.

as u dont unlock the bootloader there is no reason to do so...
also as for now .. can we even backup the TA partition ??
i've red that after relocking bootloader the drm keys are back ...

Confirmed. This method works very well, even if it is not a one-click method. Thank you.

Thanks, I finally did It
Once your phone is rooted, you can backup TA partition, but you have to do it BEFORE you unlock your bootloader. It won't be possible after unlocking it
If you back up your TA partition, then you can relock your bootloader using that backup, like nothing happened.

To enter flashmode - on your phone turned OFF - hold volume down (-) then connect USB and youll see green led.
@ryanxtx links are working correctly, ive just checked em. Its probably something with your browser/network.

Thank, @horuxan. I've successfully rooted my T3. I just got today. I can't download last two days ago. The important is adb n fastboot driver for T3. It made me a bit headache but I have done now. Thank. ? ?
