So i'm a newbie here. I've only installed one custom rom so far. I have an R800i with unlocked bootloader, DoomKernel v14 and Auroraplay v0.8. The thing is I want to install Lupus GBv8 kernel and the newest AuroraPlay, but i'm not sure what the steps are. Do i have to reinstall the original .ftf again then flash the kernel in fastboot and then the ROM?

That's the way to clean install (Recommended by me @@!)
Ỏ u can just flash the kernel. Then boot into recovery, and wipe everything. Last, flash the ROM
Flash firmware that have unlocked vendor partition, so you can have 600MB data partition (and you should do only once)
Power off, flash kernel without booting to OS, wipe data and system, and install new rom.

Hi, I flashed the darkforest ics rom. And now i want to try a GB one.
My question is, how can i procede to do this?
On fastboot I need to erase boot , preinstall, and kernel THEN flash the GB kernel, rom and addons/fix?
Or every rom has an unique install and so differs from others and i need to follow that instructions?
tnx for the answer and sry for my english :v

Flash a Ginderbread kernel such as DoomKernel. Wipe data/factory reset and Dalvik cache. Then flash a Gingerbread rom

For the kernel, hold the Search button while connecting to your PC (think that's flash mode) then the usual "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in the command line of the fast boot directory.
Install the rom through CWM

I have installed Gin2JellyBean on my R800i, but it does not seem to work.
I have flashed DooMKerneL, and using CWM, I flashed Gin2JellyBean. I rebooted my system, and it got passed the DooMKerneL, but it always resets itself after a minute of staying on the Gin2JellyBean boot screen.
How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Make sure you format the data, cache, dalvik cache, and system partitions before you ever flash any rom.
I recommend flashing the latest stock ftf firmware for your phone, reboot and reactivate your phone, then flash DooMKernel. Once you've done that, then format all that I mentioned above in the recovery, THEN flash the firmware, then reboot.

Would R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced.ftf be considered "stock"?
(Sorry, I can't post links yet )

Yes. Reflash stock except kernel since you flashed kernel already. Then go to cwm wipe everything and flash Rom.

Nope, still doesn't seem to work. I have tried different roms that are also build off of a Stock GB, but none of the worked, only DiXperia 2 worked, but no WiFi.
Do I have to flash a custom kernel before a custom rom. If so I'm thinking of using Arc Knight kernel and Cyanogenmod 10.
Also what is a good alternative to cwm for flashing kernels and roms?
Cheers.
AW: [Q] custom kernel before custom ROM
you unlock your bootloader, download flashtool, flash the kernel, boot your device, enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, choose rom and gapps, flash them via recovery, wipe again, reboot.

You cannot use arcnight with cm10. Arcnight is a stock based kernel and cm10 is a jb Rom. You need a jb kernel for cm10.
Anyway either way is fine. Either flash ROM first (if your previous kernel has recovery) then kernel or vice versa.

I have tried with flashing stock kernel but nothing happens please help... i want to install custom ROM
Have you formatted system, data, cache partitions? I had similar problem with flashing a stock based rom because of such a stupid mistake.

Formatting /system on locked bootloader is the stupidest thing to do (I guess). You basically delete the Recovery and get in trouble.
You guessed wrong because some stock based roms require system partition to be formatted and not doing this caused some serious problems for me also flashing back to stock with flashtool is like pushing one button and then waiting for 5 minutes for flashing to complete so I don't see a problem here.

I have done every time these steps.
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe delvik cache
Format system
Install rom from cwm.
Again clear cache and reboot gives me stuck at sony logo
I take it your phone as it should if you install stock ftf try ultimate hd just out of curiosity

I think I see a cause of your problems now... your rom is .431 but two of these roms base on .587 firmware and third one requires a custom kernel so try again with .587 kernel and report if this helped.

So please can you tell me the correct sequence to put custom rom....?
1st install kernel and then rom or or install the rom and then kernel?
It would be the best if you could unlock your bootloader but if you can't or don't want to then:
Download and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/957gfo1kaf7pefe/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf (its stock untouched .587 ftf for arc s that I've used many times)
Root then install CWM with x-parts
Reboot to CWM format data cache system and dalvik cache
Install your rom
Reboot
And remember that you can use only stock based roms so racing bean wont work.
Im on OTA N preview rooted
With elementalX kernel and twrp recovery
Is it possible to Flash a custom rom?
I only need to flash a rom and kernel and the vendor right?
Or do I forget something
I have no PC available for a few days

Correct, just flash the rom, kernel, and vendor in TWRP after wiping
