[Q] question on fixes for [AOKP]KXP JB ROM - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here so I'm wondering if I should flash the hotspot fix too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859518&page=167, post 1665) when I install the KXP JB ROM the first time?? I'm coming from a stock ROM.

Nope
The kernel (FXP 144) from besttt
The rom
G apps
and the general fix

Nope you don't have to.

another question
Okay okay, i'm getting a hold of this flashing ROM business. Last question before I flash the custom ROM haha in the KXP thread for JB5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859518) if you guys can help me out check out the instructions part, the 5th instruction says "install zip from sd card then flash gapps if you want them (kernel is flashed automatically with zip for 2012 models, for 2011, fastboot flash the kernel)"
Since i've flashed the kernel the first time, does it mean i have to flash the boot.img(since boot.img is the kernel part, right?) in the ROM.zip again after flashing the ROM? I'm pretty confused.

Next rom after CyanMod 7?

Hi, sory for newb posts. But this all got a bit more complicated since my HTC days!
I managed to get cmod7 working (remove apk to stop looping on boot!).
But what can I flash now with the CM kernel I have?
Or how/what kernel to flash and what ROM for best/stable device?
I see and have the Mooded rom, but do i need to flash kernel first? And baseband etc.?
All gone strange since i last flashed devices!!
Thanks !
there should be a list of suitable kernels in any rom thread. download the ROM zip to your SD card, use fastboot to boot the kernel, enter cwm and wipe data(if necessary), and flash the zip and any modules if required.

Do I need to change kernel in order to flash the Hashcode's Jellybean?

Hi guys! Since I am a noob I haven't flashed a custom ROM before I wanna ask you do I need to change my kernel in order to put the amazing Hashcode's JB ROM. I already have a root privileges and TWRP installed. What are the steps then... There is hardly any info about the installation process in the ROM's topic. And how to install google apps - through the TWRP or? Thanks in advance. Waiting for your answers...
ROMS always have the kernel included. Everything is installed from recovery. Just wipe partitions, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.
Thanks man, I really appreciate. Will try!
What saved said....the kernel is included In all ROMS.
When life gives you tech....Make use of it.

Flashing JB Roms causes bootloops

Hello guys!
As the title says, I keep on having boot loops after flashing any custom JB Roms (Jedi, LiquidSmooth, CM Nightly, Slimbean). I'm not new to flashing roms (I got LG units though, SU660 and KU5900). When I tried flashing ICS Roms, I don't have any problem. But I want JB that bad!
I followed KonstantinKeller's thread of restoring/recovering from a bad flash (going back to GB), rooted following Melvin's thread. Then did all the prerequisites..like the common wiping of data, clear cache & davlik. But then again after flashing JB roms listed above, I keep on having boot loops!
What did I do wrong? This ain't my first time flashing (first time on this phone -T989- though)
I read some posts with almost the same problem, but I don't think I found a solution for this. Any good soul that can extend their help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I got a bootloop before when trying to flash JB roms and what I did was restore to original state (using the bad flash recovery technique), and then not rooting it but installing cwm through Odin and dirty flashing the Rom in cwm. Once it flashed I used it for a few to make sure that everything was working correctly. Then I got the goo manager app and got twrp. After that I followed all the steps in the OP (Jedi jelly) and flashed the Rom. Now I'm running Jedi jelly 3.1 perfectly. Hope this method helps.

are you using darkside scripts to wipe? because they will cause bootloops

is there any way to reverse the loop that the darkside wipe is causing?
it REALLY sounds like the recovery u are using is TOO OLD. Make sure u are using the latest version of twrp (2.3.3) to flash all jellybean roms.
TWRP is backwards compatible and touch capable, so if you're worried about flashing GB or ICS ROMs it'll do the trick just fine
it is however a requirement for flashing all 4.1 ROMs.
Basic install instructions:
make sure u have root
download goo manager from play
open > menu > install open script recovery
agree to everything, but make sure t989 is in the downloaded image name
reboot to recovery u should see twrp

[Q] CM10 install problem

I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc lt15i from 2011 with unlocked bootloader
I flash it with lt15i_4.1.B.0.431_ready to root
after that i root it
after that i flash it with LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel
and after that i install cwm and recharge battery on 100%
Than I Factory reset Wipe/format system, cache, data, dalvik all that... try to install cm10 and than i got error status 7
anyone know how to solve this?
From where did you download Cm10 and which device are you using?
What you need to do is flash the kernel provided in the cm10..zip folder named as boot.img
1.Extract boot.img from zip file of cm10
2.Enter fastboot using flashtool
3. flash kernel
4. Enter recovery and install Cm10...
5. enjoy...And make sure you leave it for 15mins for it to settle down at first boot...
Question [Q] CM10 install problem
thermrperfecto was spot on:good:What you had tried to do was flash the stock .587_kernel as a general rule different types of roms have different kinds of kernels.
Basically GB roms have GB kernels, ICS roms have ICS kernels,JB roms have JB kernels and yes wait for it! Cyanogenmod roms have CM kernels:good:There is a couple of exceptions with the new TWRP kernels/recoveries which can multiboot a small number of compatible rom's,but generally the kernel's match the rom.
As thermrpefecto said the kernel for cm10 is in the .zip file you downloded or there are a few compatible kernels in the Development section :good:

[SOLVED]Need some help with installing [ROM][4.2.2 JDQ39 AOSP] Eos 4.0 -- Nozomi

Hi everybody!
I feel like giving [ROM][4.2.2 JDQ39 AOSP] Eos4.0 - - Nozomi a go, but there are some things that confuse me with the instructions. I don't want to spam the roms thread with my questions, so i hope that this thread is ok. Here we go:
Currently i am on stock JB, but if i need to there is no problem with downgrading and rooting. My BL is unlockable, but i will not do it until i am actually ready to install the rom.
1) "MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST 4.2.2 COMPATIBLE RECOVERY." - How do i know which one is?
2) "Going to EOS4.2.x from a rom < 4.2.x:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash optional kernel
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot" - This is where my real confusion sets in. When i installed CM10 on my Arc S the first thing i had to do was flash the kernel which contained the recovery. Here the instructions say i have to flash it after flashing the rom. Am i to shutdown my phone after flashing the rom in order to install the kernel?
Thanks for reading.

My curiosity got the better of me. :silly: I tried the CM-method of flashing the kernel first and it worked.
