What kernel must be use? thanx u sir.
sorry..my english is bad.. i hope you understand what i mean. thx

The kernel is inside the build as stated in the instructions. Try open up the zip and find the kernel file.

Is your plays bootloader unlocked?
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

i flash that kernel sir, kernel inside build. i open up with 7zip. i have to do step by step of OP instruction. but if i flash lupus kernel icsbeta v11, my play boot normaly.
sorry of my english sir.. its not my native language.

what about the firmware sir? i use firmware58

OK first remove kernel from extracted zip... Then re-zip rom. Flash kernel in fastboot... Boot into recovery using either Vol. Down or the back button... Depending on kernel. Once inside recovery. Clear data, cache, & dalvik. Once those are done... Install from sd.

i can not boot into recovery (with press vol down or back button) screen are still black. i use fw62 now. no boot logo appears sir!

Going into recovery you have to continuously press back button when you boot phone... You should feel it vibrate.

bootloop !!!
First, sorry for my bad english ( I'm french !!!)
I have a bootloop at the launcher chooser
I follow all the instructions correctly
I've got a Xperia Play root and unlocked bootloader
I see another have the same problem... is this a bug or I do something wrong ?

Check the zip. Make sure the files meta-inf & system are the first you see when you go into zip. If not you need to rezip to where the extra folder is gone.

Fw version will only make a difference to signal, data, battery ect, it still boots on other FW. Anyway to the point, do not use ics kernel bootlogo takes an extra couple of seconds to come on on JB kernel. Because u say u flashed lupus-isc-beta im assuming u know how to flash kernels. Ive probably flashed this over 50+ times since v2 with both flashboot (sdk) & flashtool. Did you try the kernel below the ROM Downloads??
And do click thanks to the users who have been helping you thats why its there

Im not sure what u mean "launcher chooser" its not a bug buddy 99.99999% user error. If you mean CWM then the only bug on that AFAIK is the screen jumping. If you cant boot at all try the pac kernel which is below the rom downloads

[Q] LT26 stuck at Sony logo after failed flashing

Hello, at start I apologize for my poor english, but I hope, that you'll understand what's the matter.
First I prepared to install new rom on my Xperia - I've rooted phone and installed CWM. After that I've launched CWM, then I've erased whole phone's memory - cache, system, data and dalvik. When I want to install rom from .zip file i get info, that file is bad. Next I've tried to launch mass storage mode to copy rom one more time and CWM was unable to open ums lunfile. When I've rebooted phone only thing I saw was Sony logo. Now I'm stucked at it. Phone have locked bootloader, so I can't launch fastboot mode. Adb can't find any connected devices. What can I do now?

Use flashtool and flash a stock ftf.
You must have unlocked your bootloader and hence seus gives that error.

Okay, so here is what you must do :-
1. Download stock ics ftf from here - http://ni.0a0.in/files/3432_kznsa/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG Generic (1257-6921).zip
2. Extract the zip to get the ftf file.
3. Flash it with flashtool
4. Flash this custom kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
5. Then go and check out any custom roms that you like
All (most) custom kernels have CWM in them. As you have unlocked your bootloader, you can flash a custom kernel and get CWM. Also, each time you wipe /system nothing will happen to CWM. CWM remains intact
Good luck!

Flashing problem

Hey guys!
My Xperia Arc S is kinda new - 1 month old.
I was on Xperia Ultimade HD Rom for a while and wanted to install another rom, so i did via CWM Recovery.
All fine.
I wanted to restart my phone but it got stock in Sony Logo.
Because my bootloader cant be unlocked i rooted with kernel downgrade and CWM is not there after flashing due to the wipe.
So i flashed stock .tft with Flashtool and phone booted again.
Now when I'm trying to flash anything my phone gets always stuck in Sony Logo (even when i try Eagleboy's mode without wiping!).
Anyway: I'd like to install a custom rom.
Does anyone how to fix this?
Bootloader: Locked
Phone: LT18i
Rooted: yes
... and I have the 4.0.1.B.0.587 firmware installed right now.
Thanks in advance!

Phone Flashing problem
That's the only problem with locked bootloader's:crying:When you install some stock custom roms you have to wipe system to do a clean install which by default wipes cwm because it is installed in system for locked bootloader's.So if you have a problem with a install you have to flash another .ftf because you wiped cwm recovery.
When I first had arc I had a locked bootloader and it was a pain if something went wrong while flashinghaving to flash again etc! etc! It just got to stage where I had enough and took the plunge and unlocked the bootloader.:good:
I'm afraid it's one of those things you have to live with unless you unlock your bootloader:crying: ( I know you said you can't )there are quite a few stock roms that work but like I said if anything goes wrong you have to flash .ftf again.Probably a case of just trying each one Jader's rom alway's seemed to boot nice:good:

Hi, thanks for your answer
I tried to install 3 different roms till now - i wiped everything.
Then: Boot till sony-logo - I have to flash another tft with flashtool, Root again, and this takes time and is quite annoying.
I came from Samsung Galaxy S there wasn't the problem with the "bootloader" which is really annoying.
So: What should i do now?
I mean my CWM is not persistent and till now no rom worked.

Hi totally agree it is frustrating!:crying: When you install some of these custom rom's they use Aroma installer are you unticking the reboot option in aroma installer and rebooting from cwm?Because you need to reboot that way (you seem to be doing everything right )
(1) Boot to cwm
(2) Wipe cache/Data/Advanced Dalvik cache
(3) Mounts & Storage format data/cache/system (NOTHING ELSE!)
(4) Install .zip on Sd card
(5) Choose options Aroma Installer
(6) Untick reboot option
(7) Reboot from cwm

Haha i know. Thats why it seems strange for me too. But i need a custom rom and normally i would need a different kernel too.
But thats not possible. Sadly.
So nobody knows what i could change?

Only other thing you could try is changing your base firmware/ftf I notice you are using .587 base ftf try changing to another one, although Some of the custom roms recommend that firmware
Maybe someone else as any ideas

Απ: Flashing problem
If you accidentally formatted system then you removed the cwm. Try flashing the official ftf, install x-parts and redo everything without wiping system partition.
The other choice is to unlock your bootloader and you'll never face this problem again. I voided my warranty less a month after taking my phone, I knew that any problem will come up I could fix it myself

Yep sure - but my CWM is gone when i wipe data. And I tried this: I flashed stock .ftf and installed xparts, then flashed a ROM without wipe - but doesn't boot and I cant access CWM again :/
And as I said i can't unlock my bootloader.

.. But the strange thing is just:
I even get bootloop when I install EAGLEBOYYS MOD (!) without WIPING anything! (just the recommended for sure)
That should not happen.

Why can't you unlock bootloader? Doing that would solve most of the problems you are facing. You don't have to downgrade to re root. Flash the stock kernel, install a new recovery then try again.

If I go in service menu it says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No !
If I flash stock .ftf root is gone (?) -- RootChecker says that root is gone too.

Thats how i rooted my Arc S!
Thats the only method that is working with locked BL.
And well, i took all the steps mentioned in the second topic you posted..
If you can't get it to work (stuck on Sony logo), then flash this in flash tool and then root again and do it one more time.
It´s ICS and kernel for Arc S but works fine on regular Arc. I use it myself on my Arc.

But when I try to flash any ROM and doing all wipes etc. correctly it still gets stuck at SONY logo!

[Q] How to make a flashable CWM build.prop? No other chance.

Hi guys,
after trying some "supposed" tweaks into the build.prop I got stucked into an endless bootloop.
I don't know for what reason but ADB (properly configured) does not show any device connected to the PC so I can't use the commands adb pull and adb push. (I connected the phone to the pc while turned off, through fastboot vol+)
BUT, for some strange reason (strange because it is supposed to work with ADB, right?) I was able to flash -fastboot- a kernel (advanced stock kernel) that had a CWM recovery built in...so this is my only chance I guess.
I tried also to make a backup from CWM, to move this backup on my desktop -> I opened it with .7zip and replaced manually the build.prop tweaked with the previously backup'ed one, into the file "system.ext4.tar".
I moved again the whole backup to my phone (mounted sdcard ecc.) but when I tried to restore, CWM said "MD5 sums mismatching"
So I guess I have this one last chance...
I have the backup of the stock build.prop file and I would like to make a flashable cwm .zip from it, to replace the one that it's causing the bootloop.
How can I make it?
I tried following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
But anything happened.
I have added the stock file named "build.prop" into the "system folder" of the sample cwm.zip but the situation is always the same... bootloop!
Help me please, I have things on the phone that I can't loose for any reason.

Just flash the attached zip. It has the stock build.prop and fixes all the necessary permissions correctly.

If I change just the build.prop to the one I need for my phone (htc one s), it will work right? I happened to mess up as well and just need something as a back up...

I didn't get you.. but the safest would be take a cwm backup before replacing the build.prop. In case something goes wrong then you always just boot into cwm and restore the backup.

Or another question, in a TWRP backup, is the build.prop located in Android secure? I just need to know what to flash if I accidentally mess up build.prop

i can go into cwm recovery by pressing vol up.is there any way how to flash the build.prop system file from there.

Hi,
Please don't use Emma as your bootloader is locked. Search for SUS [Sony Update Service] and use it to re-install the phone's software. That will fix it

Cant believe im just seeing this. Been looking for this for so long.
Good to go thru d help section on a regular.

Just flash the attached zip. It has the stock build.prop and fixes all the necessary permissions correctly.

can you PLS find another build prop zip to flash for sony xperia e4 dual???

What to backup
abcdjdj said:
I didn't get you.. but the safest would be take a cwm backup before replacing the build.prop. In case something goes wrong then you always just boot into cwm and restore the backup.

Taking backup of all partitions is recommended via TWRP. User data (music, photos, videos) don't get backed up via TWRP. If You want to just backup build.prop , You could save it from /system/build.prop or take backup of system partition.

[Q] Only Sony Logo appears

Hallo,
I wanted to install a enhanced stock rom and because there where so many useless directory and data on my phone I asked in the Roms thread if it is possible to Clean my phone from all this stuff so the new Rom could be on a clean phone without any previouse stuff.
The guy in this thread told me to format /sdard /system and /data and I did it. Therefore the copy of the new rom was erassed to. I wanted to reboot the phone to copy the new rom on it and then install it with CWM.
When I press Power and Vol+ the phone restarts but I cant cet into cwm
What can I do?

Forget about EMMA. Use Flashtool, but you must have the know how on flashing a ROM through flash mode. There are forums from where you can learn.
