I unlocked my bootloader via omnius, installed doomkernel and rebooted with no problem, then from recovery did a wipe cache/dalvik and then installed Arconium 8.1
Now i cant get passed the doomkernel startup image, it just freezes there and i have to remove the battery. I also cant access recovery.
Im on baseband 64, had Team Stock Rom installed, and used CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2. (these were installed while bootloader was locked)
Do you know how to use fast boot? If so I would suggest you use the kernel provided with arconium 8.1 .
Open a cmd window easiest way is to browse to the location where fastoot is located, paste the kernel usually called boot.img in the same folder hold the shift key on your keyboard and press right click and select open command window here. Shut down your phone and then while holding the menu key on your phone plug in the USB cable. Then in the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img
It should show that the kernel was flashed and you can try and start your phone again.
Good luck
Just did that and still it freezes on doomkernel start up image... im desperate
I think the key to the problem is that I had a CWM recovery installed only for stock fw, and I installed arconium on it.
yeah "CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2" it is!! stock only..
I know that, but what I need is a solution. Im downloading a prerooted .62 fw, is there any other way to solve this without flashing?
Doom kernel should come pre loaded with cwm, but make sure the one ur using is arconium 8.1 because If your using the wrong kernel your phone will not boot.
Just clarify a boot loop is usually a loop of what ever logos repeating over and over so for example if I was having a boot loop in cm9 I would see the freexperia logo than the cm9 logo then freexperia logo again.

I had bootloop once while installing CM7..
and i did this...
Boot into recovery mode...WIPE DALVIK CACHE...REBOOT IN RECOVERY...
Delete data/partition....del Cache...REBOOT IN RECOVERY
And then install the zip from SD card....
Lemme know if this helps...
Good day
lol... I had the same exactly the same problem when instaliing arconium 8.1.
I just couldnt find out what to do....

I am using arc with rooted. 431 firmware. but I am unable to go into recovery manualy. phone stucked on Sony logo. I installed via recovery auto installer. same issue I was facing when I was on. 62 version. any soloution?
Try reflashing the entire firmware using flash tool and install recovery using SE Tweak Installer found in development section.. Plz search for it

I tried every thing. reinstall firmware, repair my phone, unlockbootloader n root again. install recovery by tweak installer but still same isuue. where is the problem??
even i installed recovery via flshtool. but unable to go into recovery
First enable usb debugging enable install of non market applications in arc settings! Thats very important! Then connect the mobil to pc and open the installer.. Make sure drivers are installed.. If not, install from drivers folder of flashtool.. Then select 'cwm for arc' option from installer and wait for it to complete! Then reboot

Try an other Usb Slot. When I connect the phone at the front Usb slot, my phone will not be detected.

I do the same. recovery installed properly, but still I am unable to boot into recovery. it stucks on Sony logo. but for.rooting I hotboot in custom kernel then I can easily go into recovery. I think it happens when I installed 4.03 for arc s in my arc. after that I was unable to boot into recovery even in gingerbread with stock kernel. :-(
Well it shud do the trick!
Try changing kernel and see!

as i know the recovery is flashable with the kernel, so you can also try to connect the phone in fastboot, than "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when it done, "fastboot reboot" than pushing the volume button. maybe you know this, but noone knows GL
you try to flash via fastboot the .431 kernel with CWM. u can get it on the development section.

Read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345741), specially the last pages, and see if it can help you.
I had the same issue as you (stucked in the kernel logo) although I'm on a locked bootloader.
I solved the question by editing a little...
Hope it helps.

i did the same but still no success. is there any way to format all partations like, boot partation, kernal partation and recovery partation and start from scratch.
Flash the .431 fw again to your phone.
Hi,
I flashed my phone with Doomlord kernel and now it keeps on rebooting to doom recovery, when it goes to the recovery mode I see an option to install the stock rom but problem is I don't have it in the phone, now my PC could not detect my phone but the flashtool can somehow detect it. I wanted to put the stock rom that I have from my PC to my phone but I don't know anyway to do it.
Is there a workaround on this? if not then is there a way for me to remove the doomkernel so I could go back to the way my phone was before??

You could buy a microsd adapter, that's way easier than needing the cable imo.
Connect the cable to your PC, go into CWM, Mount Mass storage.. change things around.. maybe change the rom
done

Go into recovery mode >> mounts and storage >> mount USB storage, then attach USB cable to your phone. Now your PC should recognize your SD card and you can access it.
Are you locked or unlock bootloader?

HELP: pls. how to flash diff kernel if phone reboots only on bootloader
hello there my names kyle and im new here but you can call me sangy, anyway i have joined the site to post this
i have had my play now for 6 months and i want ics and a new kernel, i heard lupus was the best one so i flashed lupus using fastboot and the correct rom. i have followed all steps correctly and the dam thing just boot loops after 1 min of booting unless i have my usb in my pc at which point the phone will stay on like it should without a single bootloop. so with a potentially bricked phone i flashed the stock firmware back v4.0.2.A.0.58 and re flashed a different kernel and rom still the same issue so i flashed back to stock again. if anyone can tell me how to solve this weird ass issue i will rate you +1 because im getting sick of having no cwm and incompatibilities with apps and i want to overclock
ps im planning on flashing doomkernel v14 hope this problem is gone but i know it will have the same issue.
my phones current state is this
xperia play r800i
stock kernel(2.6.32.9-perf) [email protected]#1
FW 4.0.2.A.0.58
baseband 64
android 2.3.4 ginger bread with root and unlocked boot loader
thats everything i know thanks for reading and helping in advance
edit: sorry if im not been precise but by boot loop i mean hot boot where the phone will run fine for 3 min then freeze and reboot on its own until i pull the battery or plug in usb in pc upon hard reset it even does this in kernel boot up

which lupus kernel, ics+gb v7 or lupus ics beta v12. have you tried flashing through flashtool because it always works for me and which ics rom as their are tons.
hello thanks for the quick reply
ive tryed the lupus ics+gb kernel latest version with the ics beta rom for xperia play and ive also tryed the lupus gb kernel latest version
and yes i have flash tool and all the drivers but a nice reccomendation on what to flash next based on my phones spec at the moment would be nice
also why am i the only person on the internet with this problem? ive heard of having 60+ apps on the sd to cuase hot booting but for me this is just out of the ordinare, particulary when ive whiped all the phone and flashed a new kernel.

With Lupus kernel, use R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79 firmware
will be flashing that stock firmware now over my other one then put lupus gb+ics over the stock kernel
will let you know if it goes well and fixes this
unfortunatly it did not fix it rom loads up, gets to the regular sony setup then freezes and hot boots. did this with lupus kernel ics+gb and the 4.0.A.0.79 firmware you linked me to. its either the kernel or my phone
just tryed doomkernel v14 with your FW kernel still crashes and reboots, is there something i have to do in flashtool because
every kernel ive flashed yet has the same issue.
note i can get a catlog app whilst it is plugged in then unplug it and wait for the crash and send it to you and you can see where its going wrong with the kernel and tell me what to do
thanks for reading these updates and sorry its taking this long to find and fix a big bug :good:

Did you tried any other ics/gb rom? Wipe your system/data from recovery before installing (and by installing i mean install from recovery with "install zip from sdcard")
Ps: maybe its stupid question, but is your sdcard full??? How much free space on it?
what recovery? this is an xperia play they dont have a recovery on stock kernels thats why im flashing one and no my sd card is not full
literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

For Lupus kernel - when powering on, keep pressing volume down for clockworkmod recovery or volume up for TWRP recovery.
Flash ROM from recovery that match kernel. Lupus ICS/GB V7 is for ics/gb roms based on stock (Sony) roms. Read in ROM's thread which kernel is recommended
With flashtool you can only flash .img files and in Xperia Play case, that is ONLY ics beta rom (but almoust all kernels come in .img format - so Flashtool is used to flash kernel). From recovery you can flash every other rom that you can find (just make sure that kernel match rom or else you'll get kernel bootloop)
ok this will be crystal clear
i can flash the kernal but even when booting the kernal and going into recovery to even flash a rom it will freeze and hot boot
meaning i did everything correctly with flashtool to do the kernel and with just the kernel installed (no rom) it still freezes and hot boots
as soon as i can stop these kernels from freezing i can flash whatever ics or gb there is in recovery
note: what are your settings for your flashtool as i might be missing a setting also the info from flashtool says at startup to disable MTP for 2011 devices, would this be my problem?

what kernel are you trying to flash? Be specific!
What rom are you trying to flash?
Disconnect phone from PC after you flashed your rom (any one, first boot must be done while disconnected)
the kernel i would like mostly is the lupus kernel
i can flash every kernel no problems, its the fact that the kernel crashes etc i can also flash the correct rom using flashtool the same thing happens
the case im trying to make is that you first install the kernel then flash your rom in recovery then the extras like wifi modules to the kernel
the kernel (dosent matter which one i try for my device ) has the hot boot issue happen to it no matter what i do before i even have a chance to install the rom(again the correct rom stock or not).
and yes i know you have to wait for boot ups on new roms and kernels, this isnt the first time i have flashed roms as i have a galaxy tab 2 running cm10 for the most part.
again thanks for the quick replys but i think this will require more technical solutions or debugging with my phone or software.
Install cwm on your phone. Search xparts on play store. Go into recovery and wipe system and wipe data and cache then turn off your phone. Open flashtool. Hold search while plugging your phone in and then flash kernel

thank you for for saying that after 1 hour, will try that now and test the kernel for 20 - 5 min
if this works tell the kernel devs to make proper instructions on this

did these exact instructions but the new xparts dosent work so luckily the community had the older version that works,
followed everything buy the book installed cwm using xparts after root went into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and i even wiped the dalvik cache, flashed the lupus ics+gb kernel booted into the custom lupus recovery (scrolled through the menu a minute) then as expected kernel crash followed by hot boot
any other ideas?

Fully working steps:
-download eraser.zip in attachment, unpack it somewhere in pc
-Start flashtool, enter flash mode, hold back button on phone, connect to pc and flash .79 firmware. DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!
-Disconnect phone and connect again in fastboot mode (hold search button while plugging it back)
-Flash Lupus ICS/Gb 480p or 720p kernel
-While still in fastboot mode, double-click file name "start.bat" from where you unpacked file in attachment.
-Disconnect phone, power on and keep pressing volume down untill you enter recovery
-Install rom and reboot

I don't know what you mean by "kernel still crashed in lupus recovery". In wich step you get that?
Try pressing volume up when powering on to enter twrp recovery
Hi,
So i have a r800i which i flashed with "Xperia Z Jellybean" and wasn't satisfied with it,so i went on to flash it with lupus kernel v13(480p) and then while flashing it with CM10 for the play,it got stuck at "Formatting system..." So i removed the battery and put it back in again,once again went into recovery to flash the rom and this time it got stuck at "Copying System files" so I removed the battery once again and now whenever i go into recovery there are no menu options and it just shows the lupus logo with LuPus CWM-Recovery v6.0.3.2 [wedgess] showing at the bottom...Is my phone bricked? :crying: If not,how can i fix it?Also I'd like to mention that im fairly new to this flashing stuff...
EDIT: USB Debugging is off so i dont know how i can change the kernel either.
You can flash kernels without usb debugging turned on, just put you phone into fastboot mode and flash a kernel using fastboot. If you really bricked your phone you could try to flash a .ftf
