[Q] Jelly Sandwich 5.0 stuck on logo

So, i want to try Jelly Sandwitch 5.0. It seems nice to me and everybody tells that this is a very fast ROM.
I have unlocked bootloader.
This is how i tryied to instal JS 5:
- root my phone with DoomLord method (downgrade kernel, root then replace the kernel with the .587 one).
- install cwm with x-parts
- reboot and enter the recovery menu
- wipe cache, data, dalvik
- install from zip
Jellybean have an installer that let me choose different option like the launcher, keyboard, some apps and some other options.
I've tryied 3 times using different option like install link2sd, wipe data, and so on, but everytime it ends up just showing me the sony logo, then i have to reinstall everything, root, cwm, etc.
I can't post in the Jelly Sandwich thread on the developer forum so i ask here if i'm doing something wrong.
Also, can you suggest me a rom good as JS5?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my english)

Try flashing doom kernel ver.5 . Many users have the boot loop issue with stock kernel.
With doom kernel it works (for me too).
First flash doomkernel, than wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, and format /system
Reflash the rom and it will works.

The only kernel that works on my Arc with Jelly Sandwich 5 is XArc.
I tried other kernels but always get bootloops or crash just after typing my pin number.
XArc is great but don't provide HDMI.
JS 5 is probably the worst JS version. Maybe you should try an older version.

I wish, but i can't find instructions on the cm10 thread. And it seems to have problems with wifi, camera, etc...

if you have an unlocked bootloader and installed a custom kernel, I don't think you need x-parts to install CMW as the kernel contains it?

I have an unlocked bootloader but not a custom kernel with cwm in it. Do you have a link for a guide about installing cwm without x-parts?

I tried it also and i got bootloop. Then i repaired phone and gave up...

After unlocking bootloader, find a custom kernel for your version of android ie: Ginger bread/ICS, DoomLord is a popular choice.
Keep in mind there is a version that can't be rooted, from memory its .62, in this case you have to down grade to .42
Flash the kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You will have root and custom recovery installed.

problems with LuPuS wifi
I have a Xperia Arc LT15i unlocked and running CWM 6.0.1.5
I was following all the instructions in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885559
LuPuS-JBv3-ARC&S.img

4) install WiFi-FIX-LuPuS-JBv3-ARC&S and reboot (won't let me move the wifi switch)
5) install CIFS-JBv2-ARC&S in terminal emulator (failed: exec format error)
SnapSeries CAMP released v3 today and I've tried all of the above again and I still can't get the wifi working.
Any ideas?

Did you try flashing the rom then flashing wifi fix.Do not restart after flashing rom,just do it at the same time.
But there is one more thing,does this ROM support this kernel you have flashed?

In fact. Ice Cream Sandwich IS the bug. (/troll)
I had the same issue. I figured out that. Turning Wifi-N off (on router settings, turn on only wifi B/G) fixes the problem.
If it doesn't work. Buy a new router or go back to gingerbread.
So, I went back to gingerbread. (And I have a free router)

Thanks for your reply Pren22. I've had no luck with flashing the rom and wifi fix.
I tried flashing the kernal that was on the rom without success. It said that LuPuS was recommended so I tried that too.

3. go to mounts and storage menu and\
4. format /system
5. format/data
6. format cache
7. exit mounts and storage menu
6. go to advance
7. wipe dalvik cache
8. wipe battery stats
9. exit advance
10. install custom rom from sd card without rebooting

Hello again guys, I installed LuPuS v8 JB Kernel on my phone (I had 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced Firmware (Gingerbread) installed) then I went to CWM to flash the .zip with the wifi modules and G.Apps but when I rebooted I got a bootloop. what I have to do to correctly install it? Please guide me since I'm kinda newbie to this of unlocked bootloaders and kernels :/ (I'm trying to install PACman rom and followed the FAQ guide but...)
EDIT: Forgot to add, my PLAY is an r800a(i) GSM btw, I have to take off the SDcard to enter to the Kernel menu, idk if this is normal

After you flash the Rom reboot the phone and just let it fully boot. After that you can go back to CWM and flash the WiFi modules and other add-ons

You need to boot into the kernel's recovery and set it to jb mode or ics depending on your rom. Then make sure your rom and gapps don't exceed the system partition size, which it most likely did if you flashed the full gapps package as well.
The default recovery for the lupus jb kernel is TWRP, if you load into another CWM recovery it most likely did not flash to the correct partition arrangement that lupus kernel use therefore the rom can't boot.

Sounds like you didn't wipe data
So go into cwm and wipe cache,data,delvick and try rebooting then

These are the steps I did
1.- Flash the 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced (2.3.4 firmware)
2.- Flash the LuPuSv8 JB Kernel via flashtools
3.- Take out the SDcard (I can't access to kernel menu without taking it out)
4.- Access Kernel menu then go into recovery mode
5.- Wipe data/cache/davlik
6.- Flash p.a.c.man jb
7.- Reboot
And then it bootloops and stays like that (i left it alone and it stayed like that for about 20 or 30 minutes)
I also wiped data/cache and davlik after flashing the rom, but got the same results, maybe I need a vendor unlocked firmware like in Turbo Kernel? I will try that...
Edit: Flashed the vendor unlocked firmware then wiped cache and data then installed the PACman rom but got bootloop again, maybe I should try with another kernel...

Do as above but after step 5 you need to go to mounts & storage and format Data/Cache & System (IMPORTANT DO NOT FORMAT ANYTHING ELSE):good:
Then flash p.a.c.man JB

I flashed the FTF with unlocked partitions played with the phone for about 30 secs, then flashed kernel, went to kernel menu then formated system, data, cache and davlik via CWM then flashed the rom, but that ended in bootloop, did the same with turbo kernel and it worked.

[Q] Cant install custom rom on X play R800i

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help. First off, when I try to unlock bootloader, It says it's unlocked. I can root my phone through flashtools with no problems also. I tried the ICS and JB roms with a lupus kernel as described on Youtube. I follows the instructions to a T and when I install the rom from the sd card, it never installs,...well it does install as in it goes through the installation procedure. It just reboots to the recovery mode after the installion instead of the rom etc to ( the lupus or doomlord recov mode depending on the rom). I have tried different roms and downgraded to ginger 2.3.2 ( I am currently on 2.3.4) but there is no change. Any help would be great thanks ...

Hi,
I bought the phone second hand. When I tried to unlock bootloader, it says its unlocked already...must have been done by previous owner

Did you follow all the instructions for instlling a ROM???
1. Factory reset
2. Format-wipe /cache (it says formattting /cache when doing factory reset, but do it anyway)
3. Format /system (its on mounts and storage menu)
4. Wipe dalvik cache (its on advanced menu)
5. Fix battery/wipe battery stats. This depends on the recovery, but is the same thing...
6. Fix permissions. I think this is what you are doing wrong of missed out.
Btw, if you can enter fastboot mode and flash custom kernels, you have unolocked bootloader

How are you flashing your kernels... via Flashtool in fastboot mode, or using the windows (if you're using windows) CMD and the fastboot command on Android SDK??? 'Cause maybe something's wrong with the kernel or the rom Zip you're using...
Which Roms are doing this???

have you checked what kernel you have flashed? lupus kernel has 3 different versions one solely made for gingerbread and for ICS which is now very updated to work on any stock based ICS rom he also has a CM10 based rom which will work on any CM based roms as well as. have checked the roms recommended kernel to use?
