hello,
can someone please provide the procedure to install Virtuous Quattro on desire HD or a link to it ? is there a need to install any specific Radio /kernel? my HD is on default Radio, but custom MIUI ROM
How to:
Hi as you have a custom rom already it makes it simple as you are already rooted.
1 - Download the ROM and place it on the root of your microSD - Link for the Virtuos Quattro thread
2 - Also Download the Kernel to correct WIFI issues - Link and place it on the root of your microSD
3 - Power down your device and enter on recovery mode by holding volume down and power button at the same time. As soon as it prompt press volume up in 5 sec.
4 - Before flashing the ROM you will have to, for safety, make a backup of your existing ROM. You will find the option in the Recoverymode;
5 - After the backup do a FULL WIPE and it is very important to do in all data, cache and Dalvik (found in advanced options);
6 - Now install zip from MicroSD and look for the ROM.
7 - After installing the rom reboot the system - After rebooting power down into recovery mode again.
8 - Install the Kernel you download following the same procedure of item 6;
9 -Once again Reboot and enjoy.
I am not sure but I would try to avoid using any kind of app and data backup. Start from screch (I did it and had absolutely no problem).

Turner!
hi Turner,
thanks for the instructions,
apart from installation of the fix for the wifi, is it needed to install any other kernel for this ROM to work? If so, at what stage the kernel (not the wifi fix) should be installed ? also, is it again like step 6 for the installation of the kernel?
As far as I am concerned you wouldn't need any kernel prior for the rom.. I came from stock to android revolution to cm 7.1 and then virtuous. I didn't install any specific kernel prior to flashing virtuos rom and it worked great.
Try flashing and then comeback here telling us the results.
A quick question: did you flash any kernel before the miui rom you have?
i haven't flashed any kernel or radio before, but have been flashing different ROMs. was bit confused when i read somewhere that for virtuous ROM you need to flash a kernel. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Let me try as per the steps mentioned by you and see the results..
User30 if you're like me and uncounter a little problem with the Wifi not working or the sound not working either, here's a little trick;
1. go get the .zip here : dev-host.org/k8rsgpxf5o2y/lordmodUEv8.8-ICS-BFS-b7.zip
It's lord kernel, really nice and work fine.
2. Put it on your SD card, *don't extract it*
3. you'll need to clear the cache when you're in the clockwork on ace hack.
4. Install the .zip using the same way that you install your ROMs
if it didn't work here's the modification
1. get the .zip of the Kernel and the one of the ROM
2. Put them on the SD card
3. Make a FULL wipe and be sure to Wipe the cache too
4. Install the ROM.
5. Install the Kernel
6. Everything should work perfectly
I had some problem with some Kernel, no idea why. The one I just gave the link to is working perfectly and didn't had any problem with it. p.S if working with Virtuous Quattro, install the RC1 for now. There is a bug on the wifi on the RC2 and I think they are currently working on it.
Sorry for my bad english btw.
Radio update utility is present in ARHD 6.3.1 thread....hope this will help you to update the radio...i updated with it without any issues..

Contact Photo
Hello
1-Why is the picture quality of the Contact, is down?
2-No setting For Gallery ... Why?
Are you speaking about the Virtuous RC1 or RC2. Since it's a RC version and not the complet version it's normal that some stuff ain't working or are bugging.
But as we speak there's more likely some people of the Virtuous working on the rom itself so I guess some of those will be fixed. If you want to keep information about the dev go in the thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047 you'll see all the update you need to follow
Hey guys i'm trying to run this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278758
and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380713
on my Arc, i rooted with zergRUSH on .42, installed auto cwm installer, flashed a working DoomKernel V4 (works with other roms).
I tested both the above roms on DoomKernel, doing all the wiping first (system, cache, davlik etc.)
My basbeand is .56 which hasen't seemed to be a problem with anything else.
The problem is after rebooting from cwm recovery after flashing the roms, my phone gets into a boot loop, showing the DoomKernel image, than rom logo, then reboot again, and so on, just wondering what i might be doing wrong
Thanks in advanced.
(also, 1 more thing, I'm new to the forums, so can someone give me some idea of where the GOD DAMN thanks button is)
You are trying the ICS kernel with GB rom.
Thats not possible.
Flash/Fastboot ics kernel to ics rom
And gb kernel to gb rom
From my sexy LT15i
Thanks
Hey man thanks, i flashed my device back to stock .42 with wotanclient, so i got my stock kernel back, reflashed cwm recovery, and then managed to get the 1st rom working on the stock kernel.
However, i can't seem to get wifi working on the 1st rom, and it has somehow removed my cwm recovery.
Gonna reflash stock .42 so i can test the second rom.
(also, i found the thanks button)
For wifi you need to flash the wifi modules
From my sexy LT15i
Still no wifi
Hey mate thanks for the suggestion, i managed to get both roms working on the stock kernel with no add-ons, however as with the first one, i can't get any wifi on the second one,
I had a look at both the rom threads, neither of which provide and kind of wifi module to speak of, and the only module i can find is with DoomKernel, which causes neither of the roms to work.
On both roms, when i try to turn on the wifi all i get is this
Wi-Fi
Error
Thanks in advanced
Witch rom and doom did you use.
The doomkernel v.20 is for gingerbeard roms (android 2)
The doomkernel v.4 is for icecreamsandwich roms (android 4)
Try the wifi module from doom anyway, ir try to contact dev.

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm pretty desperate for some help
Currently I'm on CM 9.1 with the included kernel. I tried to change to other ROMs to see which one fits me best. The problem is, it does not seem to work in any way, i'll try to describe the progress:
+ X10 FlashTool 0.9.10.1
+ Unlocked Bootloader
- I tried to flash some ROMs and kernels, I believe they were SlimBean(latest) LightningCM2(latest) with their recommended kernels, with one kernel the procudure was to flash a ftf first, which I tried but failed, don't know why and didn't save log.
- So now my phone did nothing, I restored it to GB via Emma: developer -dot- sonymobile -dot- com/services/flash-tool/
- Flashed previous kernel and restored backup via CWM
- Back on CM9.1 FXP Kernel
- Tonight I tried to change to XPERIA Ultimate HD 3.0.1 (like 50 times) I took the following steps:
- I used the instructions as described on the thread
HOW-TO INSTALL ROM
For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Xperia Ultimate Basic Kernel - This one is blazing fast and features an excellent Battery Life in combination with this ROM.
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!

*Note: Recommended kernel is Vengeance so I flashed this one, the latest(1.32 anzu).
- Booted phone, got sony logo and after that black screen, let it rest for like ten minutes and it went into a bootloop.
- Rebooted couple of times, same result.
- Tried to flash it (kernel & ROM) again, several times, same result.
- Tried it again, but now flashing .587 ftf first, stopped at 13% flashing, no response for like 30 minutes.
- Restored via Emma, Flashed FXP, restored via CWM
- So then I saw the following in the XHD 3.0.1 thread:
I figured out what's wrong with mine.. It's because I came from a GB rom, did a full wipe but still when flash the rom the aroma installer is cut into half..so this is what i did . . .
To anyone having problems/bootloops/FC/ etc you can follow this:
1.Download UHD 3.0.1 rom and your desired kernel (I'm using vengeance kernel)
2.Put UHD 3.0.1 rom and kernel modules on your SD card
3.Flash your kernel using flashtool
4.Flash .587 ftf (specially when you came from GB rom) ... exclude kernel and exclude TA ...after that reboot to CWM
5.Do a FULL WIPE
6.Flash UHD 3.0.1
7.Flash wifi modules of the kernel you are using( recommended kernel is Vengeance)
8.reboot to system
9.let your rom settle for a while(at least 10 min) ..that means don't use touch your phone at first boot (at least 10 mins or so)
10.Enjoy the best ICS rom! (Good job my idol jader )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- It wasn't specificly my problem but I thought, why not give it a try, with ofcourse, same result(stuck at ftf).
And that's it, I searched a lot, but can't find anything because I don't know what the problem is, I guess the kernel?
I hope that someone sees what the problem is and can help me out, I'd be very thankful. I tried to be clear as possible, hope it worked.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Janoee
Re-Download .587 ftf from Zelly Cream Rom thread, u may have downloaded broken ftf! Use latest flashtool to flash ftf to phone! Then follow the directions on ZC thread and try his Rom and recommended kernels! I don't know if this will help but it's worth a try! Hit thanks if it works! Get back if it doesn't! Remember follow all directions to the letter!
Try installing flashtool (latest) again. It shouldn't be the kernel because you can flash an stock ROM and then the kernel w/o problems. Try looking for other .587 tft and verify it is for your device
Try This
Thanks for the effort,
will try these, although i've tried similir methods, I can't get any ROMs to work, only can flash kernel and then restore, nothing else works,
will report,

Guys i really need help, I'm using an xperia play and i had just unlocked the bootloader and then flashed a the trueancestors ics rom and the LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full kernel. Now it turns out that i didnt like the rom so i put it back to stock, still with the lupus kernel. Everything was working however i wanted to have the doomkernel v14. So i flashed the doomkernel and it was working however the wifi had erroros so i changed back to the lupus kernel. Again everything was working fine now. I then found out how to fix the wifi problem on doomkernelv14 so refrlashed that kernel. Before i reflashed the kernel i deleted the trueancestors isc rom as i didnt like it so i thought it would be ok. After the flash i tried to reboot the device, and it was stuck on the bootloader for doomkernel, not in a bootloop just stuck at doomkernel bootloader. I tried to fix this by going to recovery (clockwork mod) and then did a factory reset, wiped the cache and data and the dalvik cache as i saw these online for instructions on how to fix this problem. Still i had the same problem, stuck at bootloader. So i tried somthing different and reinstalled the trueancestors ics rom, and tried to reboot the xperia play, again stuck at bootloader. Im sorry if this was a bit long but I AM LITTRALLY BEGGING FOR SOME HELP! Please make a suggestion as to how i can fix this ASAP. Can it be fixed?Thank you for you Advice it is very much aprecciated. Ive posted this somewhere else in which i couldnt find but i really need help on this, please can anyone help. :crying:
you shouldn't post a like or not like any developer handmake. try back to a stock..

When switching kernels with different partition layout you have to delete data and system partition in fastboot mode.
I'm lazy to type again so here is a link where it is explained already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536&page=100
You can prevent future problems by wiping data and system partittion from CWM and THEN flash new kernel that have different partittion layout

I havent tried this yet,becuase i need my dad to allow flash tool to work (Parental controls ffs -.-") however i saw the thread and i saw this part saying enter these commands "fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase system i undestand how to get the command thing open but how do u enter these in, and what i mean is do you just open the command thing and just paste these in or do u have to right click somthing open comand promt here and all the stuff then enter them? Also these steps u listed, everything is fine its just my lack off knowladge for some of these things which i do apologize for
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
3.erase system and data from fastboot
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Where do you get the unlocked vender partition, and which one is better .62 or .79 and if u could send me a link as your helping me i think ur choice of links for this is more reliable than mine, and again this is greatly appreciated.
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
Download file name R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post have firmware files
Guide how to use flashtool you can find at [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
Flashing .79 or .62 firmware is necessary if you are planning to use lupus gb or icd/gb kernel - and you only need to do it once.
Flashing kernel is same, but when pressed on lighting icon, choose "fastboot"
3.erase system and data from fastboot
Ok, i made a zip for you. Download it from attachment, unpack to anywhere you like and double-click file named "start". Power off phone, press search and while keeping it pressed, plug in usb. I don't think you need admin rights for that, but:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROM PLACED ON YOUR SD CARD! Just in case, because that program will erase everything from your phone.
You should be able to enter recovery and/or flash your rom/restore your backup.
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Also, read some sticky threads, they are there for a reason
Again im really sorry to bother you with this, but what if i dont want to flash the rom, becuase i didnt like it in the first place so i went back to stock, however this method of returning to stock was to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf file. Now what it did was return it to stock rom (AFTER i tried the rom i didnt like) and unrooted the phone, i dont know if it returns the phone to stock firmware, and if the method of the system data wipe thing with the command prompt deleted everything, what can i flash? Little more explaination as to why im asking. Before this boot stuck thing hapenned i had used that same ftf file to return it to stock and unrooted. I re-rooted the phone and then flashed the lupus kernel. Everything was fine. I wanted to flash the doomkernel because like a dum nut i wanted to show off that i could overclock to 2ghz ( if i wanted to) as if alrdy stated before and did so. I think you can only flash zip files from your SD card so the ftf file wont be able to be flashed while on the device. So what do i flash? Should i just flash the rom i dont like and try return it to stock, then flash the ftf .79 firmware again after re-rooting the phone, then flash the doomkernelv14. In short i want to stay with the normal gingerbread 2.3.4 with doomkernelv14. Again i havent tried this yet and also sorry for these long rambly posts, i just want to give you as much info as possible in order for you to help me. Thank you so much for your solution btw much appriciated.:good:
And almost forgot i also want it back to rooted but i can do that myself, i just thought i'd specifiy it just incase its worth anything.

Everythings fine at the moment and i dont want to make any more dumb mistakes so im just going to ask if wiping the data and system partitions in CWM still deleted everything. I just recently got all of my apps back and all that good stuff, i just want to know if they will get erased if i do this. My deepest appologies for bothering you with something so minor and selfish.
Sorry another selfish request (Damit) but when ever i flash the doomkernel v14 my wifi gets error, i was wondering if u knew how to fix this, if u dont and have the free time or feel like it, direct me to somone who does?

Yes, if you wipe data and system then EVERYTHING is deleted. All your apps (data) and even android OS itself (system). You'll have to either flash new rom or restore backup after wiping system
Doomkernel need wifi modules to be installed from CWM recovery to have working wifi

Im wondering about my battery life, because it seems to be draining faster. Im using no frills cpu with the lupus kernel alowing me to overclock to 1.6 ghz. I set my higest on 1613 mhz and lowest on 249mhz using the smartassv2 governer. any idea to whats going on ?
ok...i screw up my xperia play... dunno what to do.
hi guys, been a noob after i fed up with my xperia x8 now i having a xperia play f or 2 years and try to install a custom kernel and roms but i end up brick my phone. it just stuck at logo "xperia free play". it still can enter cwm recovery mode but when i use the method press the arrow thing then plug in the usb cable to pc , it seems my pc did detect my phone but cant show up my memory card in 'my computer' window. The i try to use fastboot & flashtool both can detect my phone after plug in. Here is what i do before brick:
first thing i did on my phone was to upgrade the stock kernel 4.0.2.a.0.42, then i unlock the bootloader, root it, and start download the custom rom without download the requirement kernel. after that, i install CWM using fast boot, put the custom rom to sd card, wipe user data, bla bla bla, then install the custom rom, the next thing i see is the problem i talking about earlier. So i try to using the service update from SCE but it just say im using a modified kernel hence i unable recover it using that method. so, i try to use flash tool x10 (i cant get any working download it keep saying error 404 link, this is the best i have now) when i press the flash it come out red words with error usb ...the thing is my phone cant get detected by my computer.... What to do or it is over? (p/s : i download the flash tool & adb package winrar file & the custom rom i mention is close 2 perfection)
I know is a bit long but I really need help on my phone, i still have a x8 here from my mom and mine is xperia play brick for 3 days now i still cant find a way to solve it. PLEASE HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP. THANK YOU FOR THOSE RESPONSE~!

Man i was doing so well before, but im now stuck in a bootloop. I cant enter the recovery menu as the phone just keeps bootlooping. Also with lupus kernel the menu doesnt come up. I just erased the user data and system with ur zip from before and flashed aurora play with lupus v12.5 kernel It worked like everything else. i got more curious so i did the same thing erased user and system data then flashed gin2jellybean with the same kernel.( i followed ur intructions from before on how to flash roms n stuff) Everything worked again. I wanted a new kernel so i flashed extreme kernel r3. phone got stuck in a bootloop. So i erased user data and system data, then flashed and ftf stock rom and then flashed extreme kernel r3. everything was working. I went into titanium backup and uninstalled some system apps and accidently deleted the one that let you see the running services to see available ram. So i cleared data and and system data reflashed ftf stock rom in flashmode ofc, and extreme kernel in fastboot. I got a bootloop, so i tried all the different kernels that i could and i cant get into the menu for recovery. Can you please help me once again, i'll thank every post.

For most part, you are doing it right, but, to solve problem with recovery, you should use "eraser" AFTER you change kernel

Naturaly, it will drain more battery BECAUSE it's overclocked.

I think you should repeat the fastboot process once again, so:
fastboot erase userdata
and fastboot erase system
then just flash the kernel you prefer.
I had exactly the same problem with my play bootlooping after flashing some kernels. and this solved the problem for me :victory:
sorry for my bad English, :crying:
Hello everyone,
I finally could flash my first custom kernel (LuPuS-GBv7-full), but now each time i turn on my phone, it boots into recovery mode. When the lupus bootscreen pops up, the phone vibrates twice, the blue light turns on, then off, then the phone goes into recovery. I have searched for a solution but none works. Please help me out with this one, i cant use my phone at all.
Thanks in advance
Did you wiped system and data partition from fastboot when you flashed lupus kernel? Iit is written in kernel thread with big red "important" word. Then flash your rom from recovery.
Also, did you flashed proper stock firmware first? .62 or. 79
You could always flash stock firmware with flashtool to get working phone

First of all, thank you very much for your reply, it help me a lot and calmed me down in a moment of despair (noob here as you may have already guessed).
Didn't answer right away to try out the stuff you told me and learn some more before asking again.
What I did was this (acording to the thread of the rom i want to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219154):
- Flashed Lupus GB with flashtools
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data and factory reset
- Wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash the rom (AtoMic GB 7.0 - PLAY r2) I could not flash the device patch and wifi modules as instructed because couldnt find them in the thread.
- Reboot
What I get now is the phone booting into the system, but there is only a black screen with the status bar showing the battery meter, a non functioning wifi icon and the clock. The notifications area works when i drag it down, also the volume with sound and power button. There is nothing else, no app drawer, no icons, nothing.
I even tried the previous steps first flashing this stock rom Xperia Play_3.0.1.B.0.285_AT&T (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768599), to get the same results.
My phone is a R800at, if this matters.
I kindly ask again for help to get the rom working propperly.
Thanks to your advice I could get my phone working again with a stock rom, but I really, really want to get this working, I dont like the stock rom, like most people around here dont, I suppose.
Thanks again
You are doing things right, but black screen means launcher doesn't work, but it's ROM related problem. I can't help you there much because i never used that rom.
You should try other roms. You could download few of them, place on sdcard and test and see wich one suit your taste.
I can only help you with few tips in problems that you could might find:
-"flashing" patches or modules means flashing from recovery with "install from sd card" option. Some rom makers make versions for more then one phone, so they just copy/paste text in thread, and if you can't see patches for download, it means it is already patched in newer version.
- Doomlord kernel need flashing wifi modules and you can find them in doomlord kernel thread. It use stock partition layout (system 310MB, data 380MB) so it will work if your previous kernel was stock one.
-Lupus kernel have wifi modules integrated, so no need for flashing them. But it have different partition layout (system 280MB, data 640MB), so you need to delete (wipe) system and data partition from fastboot if your previous kernel used stock partition layout. Also, use. 62 or .79 firmware because only on that firmware is possible to have bigger data partition.
-Always make sure that you are using kernel that match rom you are trying to flash. Read in rom's thread for compatible kernel

All set!
Thanks very much for the patience and everything, i think the trick was to install first the stock rom and then a kernel and rom compatible to use with this stock rom. Everything works perfect now, thanks again!
