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???

It's simple, flash the kernel, install the ROM, done.
The kernel is in the .zip file(boot.img). You have to extract it. Place the zip file on your arc. Flash the kernel with fastboot or flashtool. Then enter cwm. Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik cache and factory reset. Then install the rom.

Simple like that
just follow the instructions provided exactly 100% and you should be fine.
however,
last time i tried to install fxp cm9.0 by flashing the kernel 1st i almost killed my phone and it scared the **** outta me. i cant even enter recovery or fastboot and i had to reflash a stock ftf in flashmode to try it again. i think that flashing the zip file together with a full wipe then only the kernel works better..any ideas?
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.

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.

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.

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...

Just want to tell you that your kernels are by far the best. But the PAC man rom and the Paranoid hmm Dont work I cant get them to ever boot on my R800x CDMA
Keep up the hard work.
I have searched high and low, used many programs and the extent of my vocabulary on google to try and find a solution.
I figured it would be a good idea to ask rather than lifelong searching.
I just recently bought the Xperia Play because I am somewhat an avid gamer and love this phone.
After a while it gets annoying to be able to put only 4 apps on my SD card and a message popping up saying internal memory full, with 20+ gigs left on the SD card, Knowing in later android updates, most apps are allowed on the SD card, as well as holding home and killing recent apps.
I am looking to ROM my phone or unlock the bootloader, whatever is best.
My bootloader is locked, running 2.3.4 firmware on a Canadian rogers (under virgin on unlocked carrier/sim) R800a
If there are anymore specs needed, I would be happy to provide.
The build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42 if this helps.

Rooting. 42 is easy. You can use zerg rush method or with superoneclick.
Then install links2sd from market, uninstall unused system apps and move your apps to sd.
If you don't care about warranty, you can unlock your bootloader, install kernel that have 600MB instead of deafault 380MB data partition and install any rom you like.

Kernel and clockwork recovery is in same file, so once you flash kernel, you have recovery too.
My advice, since you don't care about warranty, is to do next:
-Root your phone first (so you can make backup with titanium backup or mybackuproot)
-Backup your apps and data (calls, sms...)
-Unlock your bootloader
-Find some rom from developer forum
-enter flashtool in flashboot mode, flash .79firmware (no need to boot into that firmware, just power off when it's finished)
-enter flashtool in fastboot mode, flash kernel that mached your rom (i recommend lupus gb v12 if your downloaded rom is gb, lupus ics/gb v7 (stock or cm version) for ics/gb roms or lupus jb v8 480p for jb roms.
-Enter recovery (power on, then keep pressing volume down/up or back button) (for lupus kernel is volume down)
-Flash your rom with "install zip from sd card"
Remember, jb roms won't boot on ics kernel, so if you got bootloop, most probably your rom does not match flashed kernel. Look in rom desription what kernel is compatible with it.

Latest firmware only matters if you want bigger data partition (600MB vs 380MB stock)
Did you set type of rom in turbo kernel? As i recall, there is an option in recovery to choose wich type of rom you are installing. And since you want Aurora play, you should choose stock-GB (it's been a long time since i used turbo kernel, i can't recall where exactly that option is)
Ok, I found that option and set it to GB stock ROM on slot 1. Still nothing though.
It boots up says Sony Turbo and then goes blank. The LED/backlight of the phone is still on though.
Should I choose something else other than Turbo?
EDIT: There are 2 options to set as stock GB, set both as stock and booted up just fine.
Now running Aurora Play, Thanks for all your help!
Hi, I've been having some problems with my Xperia Play getting stuck in a boot loop after flashing anything, or restoring a backup in CWM. This includes mods, like Adrenoboost, and the NXT Lockscreen, to themes. I have the Xperia Play R800x with an unlocked bootloader (via unlock code from Sony) and I'm using stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread, with the stock Kernel. I boot CWM by hotBooting LuPuS with Fastboot. I'm not really sure what to do because I really want to install these mods, and because restoring my nandroid backups also gets it stuck in a bootloop, I have to reflash the stock .ftf with FlashTool and reroot it every time.

Hi. Not all mods are 100% compatible with stock ROM so you should use a custom one. Many custom ROMs are better than the stock one.

Strange, I have the opposite problem: lupus doesn't boot any ROM for me, excepting ICs ones.
In fact, to install a GB ROM I always have to flash first the stock rom and fw, and then flash the ROM with a custom recovery. Anyway by "hot booting" you mean custom recovery right?

No, what I'm doing is using Fastboot to boot the phone with the kernel, without flashing it, to test it out. As soon as you shut the phone off, and turn it back on, it boots with whatever kernel is flashed on it

That's what I mean with custom recovery :laugh: (don't confuse with custom kernel).
When I had stock kernel I would boot LuPuS just for CWM, but I'll hotboot kernels to see how well they run

So here's what you need to do, since you want stock and and fastbootalot for recoveries y don't you download xperia play clockwork mod app? It's version 4 or something like that don't use xparts it don't work with our Verizon plays since you have root this will install recovery for you to flash Roms mods etc
I'll edit later with a link to the thread that has the clockwork mod app install that MAKE A NANDROID before you flash anything it helps worse case you hotboot lupus to restore your nandroid you have then reboot and guess what stock 2.3.3 Rom and kernel

No I got everything to work fine. I have LuPuS flashed on, and I'm using the xElite Gamer ROM with no problem.
