Yes. I had a SGS before, so I know where you're coming from. Basically it's the same process, you put the zip on the SD and flash it. The difference is that you have to manually flash the boot.img before with fastboot. If you unlocked your bootloader you already sucessfully set up fastboot, so you're done half the way. You can follow the tutorial found here. I do recommend using the official non-touch CWM instead of TWRP, which some people say has random freezes. Be sure to use a cm9 kernel. I use KISS. It's best to understand all the steps in advance so you won't do a careless mistake.

Ok, fastboot means having your phone connected via usb, typing commands into your computer. The hardest part for me was setting it up the first time. I think one of the linked tutorials explains it, otherwise try searching for it on google. Also there are a few threads in the Q&A section which should be of help. Once you have it set up you need to copy the kernel into the fastboot folder on your computer, rename it boot.img and type into the terminal: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Yes, as kernel you use the cm9 one.

Well, if you were to read the entire OP, you would have found out that there's a special boot.img you are supposed to flash, and that if you flash the boot inside the zip, you can say Bye Bye to your device.
Please read threads thoroughly.

Hi I'm new here, just made an account 5 minutes ago.
I need help with getting CM7, CM9 or any other Custom Rom on my Xperia Play R800X VERIZON. I am Rooted, and have an Unlocked Bootloader. I was able to flash a UK version of the Xperia Play android version 2.3.3 Rom to make sure my bootloader was unlocked. The UK version was nice but it wasn't for me.
Just trying to get CM9 on my phone! but for some reason I'm having a really hard time doing so.
If anyone can help me or give me advice it would be much appreciated, I'm just trying to make use of my unlocked Bootloader! D:

Download the rom, extract the kernel then place the rom on the root of your sd card. flash kernel with flashtool, boot into recovery, WIPE EVERYTHING, flash rom and gapps. They have instructions on how to install on 99% of the threads.. good luck

Thanks for the reply!
Is there a "best" if you will, ROM or Kernel for the Xperia Play? I'm just trying to get the most out of my device. Also how do I get the gapps you mentioned?
I've done this a few times already but the main problem for me is: I get the kernel working, get into recovery, but when I got to apply/ flash the ROM I always seem to get and error message of some sort. Its very aggravating. I've been checking all over the internet for a solution but nothing so far, I've been awake for almost 48 hours now looking for a solution -.-
Thanks
There is a flashtool thread in development section.

For some reason when I use Flashtool to flash a kernel it ends up giving me an error message & then makes my phone inactive, I then have to flash back to VERIZON stock Rom all over again. Any ideas??

I appreciate all the replies!
But for some reason NONE of this is working for me :/
I can flash a stock ftf file via flashtool no problem. I can enter recovery via X-parts app no problem. But when it comes to flashing the kernel via flashtool & unzipping the rom file via recovery they always report back an error message which leaves my phone completely useless or stuck on a boot loop which I then have to re flash stock rom to have a working phone again.
Hopefully that made sense lol, I have TeamViewer if anyone can help me thru that possibly idk I'm out of ideas...

To flash kernels, I use Fastboot instead of FlashTool. If course if you choose that route, you'll need to set up Fastboot.

Did you get the files downloaded? If so place them in a folder on your PC together.
Power your phone off. Then power on while holding the search button. You should see the blue LED on top of your phone which means you are in Fastboot mode.
Try that much and report back, then we can work on actually flashing the kernel.

You have to extract it as it's is not flashed via recovery but rather fastboot, refer to this thread. Or you could use the toolkit (which should do everything for you) to restore to stock.

I'm asking because I specifically flashed another boot.img for Cyanogenmod 10.
Now, what are the exact steps I need to take to go back to stock ICS?
Do I need to flash a stock boot.img first, with fastboot or something, and then flash a stock ICS zip from ClockWorkMod?
I'm not really experienced with any of this, I've flashed only about 3 times but none of which required me to install a different boot.img (isn't that the kernel file?).
Any help would be amazing!

Can this advanced stock kernel be flashed from within CWM as well as the ROM? I used something I believe was called fastboot for it.
And the kernel is indeed the boot.img then?

If you want to go back to stock, dont flash anything..
Now reverting back to stock is much easier as sony has released an official flashtool, just download the tool and latest firmware and flash it using the tool..
Once again dont flash any kernel or any rom if you want to completely go back to
stock.

Yep sure There are 2 versions of advanced stock kernel. One is flashed via fastboot and another one is flashed via CWM.
Then, on CM, Pac, Para which Rom are not based on stock one, boot.img is exactly the kernel

I tried this, but I couldn't get the official flash tool from Sony to work.
I apparently had to have a company when making an account to log in. Very odd.
I assumed this other flashtool made by probably xda developers did the same thing, but that one always gives me an error that I need to install the drivers first. Yet I've used this program before and back then I already went through all the hassle to install the correct drivers.
And now I don't know which drivers to install anymore.

Did you install the drivers using the drivers folder in flashtool??

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.

I'd Certainly Help You Out.
First of AlL, What You Need Is
1. Unlocked Bootloader - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2. Rooted Device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133063
3. Installing CWM Recovery. I prefer RecoverX - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
And As My Friend In Above Post Said. Do Not Panic. It Takes Patience. And lots of waiting time.
Till one process is complete do not try to unplug or close anything. Its easy when you do things very calmly.
Ok Now for Available ROMS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950706

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..

You can even download other ROMS of Build NOZOMI - (Code Name For Xperia S) eg Slim Bean build 5 Nozomi JB 4.2.2

Hey I am also looking for this....on a side note are you looking for this because of wifi issues? has anyone found a fix?...pretty bummed wifi is not working on this thing
Could you install the dumps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/oppo-n3/help/looking-dump-boot-img-t2998030 Post #5, then unroot and run the OTAs to get you back up to current?

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.
edit: Replied before seeing babelmonk's response, please ignore this post.
steps?

I can't get the OTA to work even after downgrading, but I do have a working system running 141228 with that hacked kernel, root and non-broken wireless.
Anyone want a nandroid of it? It's a slight upgrade at least
please

Here you go, sorry it's taken so long

Extract it into the TWRP backups folder and then restore like any other nandroid.
THANK YOU

Don't worry about it
Seems there's only about 4 or 5 people actively working on this phone here, so I'm sure we'll all end up helping each other at some point.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.
Dude, thanks!!! You saved my life!
I got wifi back AND root!
