Having trouble flashing roms

Phone: Xperia Play R800X (CDMA) *Unlocked Bootloader*
I recently got a new Xperia Play, unlocked the bootloader ( Via alejandrissmo ) and rooted it. I'm having a lot of problems flashing ANY kind of ICS/JB rom to it.
The roms I performed these steps with was PACman
First thing I did was install CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 ( 2.3.3 ) with RecoveryX. I then flashed the LupusV5 kernal that every rom has told me to flash, but after I do this I cant get into recovery. All it does is display the Lupus logo and stays there (left on for 30 mins to verify)
After this fail I .tft the 2.3.3 stock rom and re-rooted and installed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 (4.0) thinking that since I'm flashing a 4.1 rom I would need a 4.0 recovery. This ended up exactly the same Boot logo.
After spending a lot of time doing and re-doing x3 these steps I gave up the install instructions provided and tried some different things. I tried to install the rom pre-kernal flash but the recovery aborts with status 7 which from what I remember from the last time I saw this it means I'm trying to flash an ext4 ROM from an ext3 version of CWR. but I get this message with both versions of CWM.
Please any help is super appreciated

You cant install any GSM roms & kernels period. But you can install ics and cm (zesusc).

Pacman is unofficial jb thats different. What im trying to say is you cant install any GSM gingerbread roms. Gingerbread is crucial for serious gaming.

is there any good GB roms then? im very new to the xperia

OK.... To get into recovery... You have to continuously hit either the back button- lupus kernel/doom kernel, or the Vol down- cm kernel/xparts recovery.... As for black screen... Thats because it doesn't have any data to load... So when you boot phone after flashing kernel with working recovery... As soon as you see the logo start pressing the back or Vol down... That will get you into recovery to flash ROM.

Strange perhaps copy everything from your sdcard and re format your sdcard, then copy everything back over. You do not need to install CWM custom kernels will have CWM build into ramdisk. And ye for me kernel back button when leds turn on.

Yea some kernels take a long time to load as I had to wait exactly 42 minutes for the kernel to vibrate and flash the led green, pink then blue so just sit there and watch it... BTW I was using LuPuS kernel

Its strange cos I noticed all JB kernels take longer to boot and it looks like its frozen but then boots but never takes me longer then 20seconds to boot into the ROM. If it hangs for any longer I just reflash kernel and it fixes it. But ive only ever had to do this once

Yea but this was first flash unlocked and it was on stock 2.3.3 ROM but idk

Flashed stock kernel
Now i have flashed the ICS stock kernel and i am unable to get my phone to CWM recovery. After the sony logo appears, there's a black screen.
My PC find the phone, but it's in MTP mode, therefore i can't flash anything except the kernel (.ftf).
Do i have to change the internal memory?

You won't be able to until you flash a kernel with CWM or use X-Parts. Click the first link in my sig and read it from start to finish, when you have a better understanding of what you're doing then try and flash something.

You shouldn't flash an ICS kernel, but a jb kernel

Little help about custom roms

Here is my problem:
I was playing with my brother's Arc S and the things I done are that I downgraded to 462 from 587, rooted it, gone back to 587.
After that I flashed via X-Parts CWM 5. I downloaded Xperia Ultimate HD, I booted it in recovery but something was not OK. Couldn't go to recovery mode with Power + Vol down, so I gone back to X-Parts and pressed reboot in recovery mode. I flashed the rom and after that it bricked..
Couldn't do anything so I restored it with Sony Update Service. I need help how to flash that rom without bricking the device again? I have SGS3 and it is pretty simplier that this..
EDIT: Forgot to say that I tried to unlock the bootloader but it told me that it is already unlocked.

Before installing the Rom zip, what did you do inside the cwm?

Then you don't need X-Parts, just flash a kernel with CWM.

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?

You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

I rooted my phone and now I downloaded x-Parts from GooglePlay market. I installed cwm with it, but when I try option to boot to recovery, it just doesn't boot. It restarts my phone as normal.
Also, tryed with voice_down button but still - no luck.
Maybe anyone know how to fix cwm problem?
Thanks...

Try reinstall CWM, or try other recovery

Try pressing back key instead of volume down. This will work.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery

Super jelly bean problem

as i am having a laggy rom and random reboots therefore i searched a bit and many says it's a kernel problem therefore i wanted to change my kernel . I'm running lupus v12 720p jernel and i want to change to super fusion but the problem is i earlier when installing rom flashed super fusion first but i couldn't go into recovery mode therefore i had to flash lupus kernel in order to install rom but i want to use super fusion :crying:
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Just flash the fusion kernel via fastboot, then install WiFi modules via Recovery and you're good. No need to reinstall the ROM.

but i can't boot into recovery with superfusion that's the problem

Just checked - Super Fusion kernel has WiFi modules built in. So just flash the kernel and start up the phone.

i flashed the kernel but i can't boot into recovery mode . i tried every button

And why do you need to go in there? You had flashed the ROM previously with the Lupus kernel. No need to reinstall the ROM or wipe anything.

thanks but it means that superfusion can't boot into recovery or my phone has some problem?

Probably the kernel, but you got the ROM installed already, but I still can't see, why would you need recovery in the first place.

I don't and thanks for help
