ICS Beta boot loop R800i

Hi all
FIrst off, let me give the obligatory sorry if this has been posted before and i am just being noobish. I did search but couldn't find anything.
I have tried to flash ICS Beta a couple of times, but everytime it gets stuck in a bootloop at the SONY splash screen.
Gets to the splash screen, vibrates and then reboots.
Here is what I did so far...
I flashed R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf with flashtool which works fine. Boots up, data etc.
For completeness here is the flashtool output

Then I booted into fastboot and ran the commands from the ICS Beta install page.
Again for completeness, here is the output.

Once this is complete it goes into the bootloop and does nothing else. So I thought to myself, maybe it flashed badly. I went through the whole process again, but the same thing happened.
I even tried flashing KieranFTW ICS Beta kernel to see if that would help, but nada. Still the same splash screen.
I was running CM9 before that so there is nothing wrong with my phone, as far as I can tell.
I am going to try flash R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK.ftf next since that's what is called for on the ICS instructions page, but I have not heard any complaints about the 62 ftf not flashing.
Any ideas of other stuff that I might be able to try?

Download KieranFTWs rom and kernel, flash the kernel and get into recovery by spamming the back button, flash kierans rom. Had the same problem and this fixed it for me.
EDIT-Make sure you flash the SONY files first.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. So, just to clarify.
1. Flash 62 ftf
2. Fastboot Keirans kernel
3. Flash Keirans ROM
4. Fastboot ICS Beta
Thanks a lot

No what I did was :
Flash the .42 firmware since thats what it asks for on sonys website and thats what I used i think ^o) - But I've been told .62 works better, check out the ICS beta thread and see what they say.
Flash via fastboot the Sony files.
Flash Kierans kernel via fastboot.
Flash Kierans Rom via Clockwork mod recovery.

Yep, that did it. I was actually gonna flash Keiran's ROM but I thought I should get ICS beta working first
Just goes to show that you should just bull ahead regardless of certain steps not working
Thanks for your help.

No problem. Although it worked in this instance you shouldn't ignore steps when flashing/messing around with the software of a phone; otherwise you may end up with a nice and expensive brick...

[Q] What does this mean? Surely its done?!!

got this from flashtool log.
am i waiting for one final okay with regard to the system.img or is it done? Have previously done this procedure pressed "reboot device into system" and the phone boots as far xperia logo and shuts off.

I recommend you flash a stock rom first and do a clean install.
First install a stock rom with Flashtool then install cm 7.2

Nice one, thanks again.

And yes if you do this your phone should be working fine

tried this, firstly installing a stock rom .62 as suggested. made it worse. Now when i connect the phone to the cpu it reads it as an unknown usb device. i have had this before while trying to do this but i cant remember how i un-done it. Now i am at a loss as to what to do.
in the guide you have suggested i use, it tells me to download a .62 and says that is the rom my phone came with, but mine was .42, does that matter?
Please help.

Installed the drivers that come with FlashTool?
Enviado desde mi Xperia Play usando Tapatalk 2

followed these instructions to install stock rom, taken from another thread
Install flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Once downloaded and installed head over to the directory of the programm and inside the folder "Drivers" install the driver located and chose appropriete options when the tick boxes come. Then download this FTF file:
https://rapidshare.com/files/6981940...1253-4437_.ftf
Now remember this is a Stock Firmware, so reverts your phone back to how you baught it in terms of Kernal, ROM, and baseband.
Warning: The process would delete use Data/ Factory reset
Files on the SD card should stay intact.
Through flashtool click on the main flash icon and select flashmode. The FTF file I linked you must be placed in a folder called "Firmware" again in teh directory of the programm before hand. Follow up the steps and your good to go. Once your phone boot up you will recognise the firmware is changed to the original Stock ROM.
this was the first step i have done after speaking with u last night and it has gotten worse. i installed the r800 drivers in flashtool and after the wizard has finished it doesn't show me where they are installed or anything, it just lets me close the wizard.
i have downloaded the files for 7.2 and gapps like the guide says but cant install them yet until i have stock rom installed.
Tried SEUS but thats doesn't help since my cpu simply doesn't recognize my phone.
Just noticed, when i connect phone now it flashes red led on power button every 3 seconds. forgot to disconnect phone and after what must have been about 10 minutes cpu prompted me to say some SEMC device had been installed. Closed it and tried again to flash the drivers from "Drivers" folder, and it happened again. as i type, the led is now green and im really unsure where to go next.

That's a problem with your bootloader the only person who can help is alejandrissimo. [email protected] contact him check this the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252038

Stock, no custom kernel

You didn't understood me i was going to flash a custom rom but before I can do that I need to flash a custom kernel and boot into recovery and there I get stuck I can't boot in to recovery logo doesn't appear the only thing I can do is go into flashmode and fastboot mode
EDIT: I looked into logs of other people and there is something different in my log the mine says 1 badblock encounterd... Does somebody know what this mean ???

Hi Buddy,
If I read your post correctly , you are trying with Power On + Volume Down right?
Do this
1> Power on and leave power button.
2> Wait for logo to appear and keep pressing volume down button , you should be able to see CMW recovery ..
If you still face the same issue use Flashtool to flash stock rom with kernel.
Steps:
1> Copy stock ROM to "Flashtool\firmwares" and select flash with kernel selected in Flashtool
2> Press , back button and connect phone to PC when the Flashtool asks you to connect the phone
3> Once flashed boot the phone normally.
Thanks,
mastfun

I alrready found my prob. It was that I had a bad block in my boot so thats why the kernels didn't bootup and solution is to lock bootloader and flash only roms for locked bootloader now everything is fine

after you flash the kernel, if your phone is arc s just keep pressing the vol down button after you boot up your phone to enter the cwm recovery

But i install the zip (ultimate HD 3.0.2) and after lupus logo the screen are black =/

Did you follow the instructions for installing the Rom correctly? If you unknowingly missed something, then you might need to reflash the Sony stock Rom using flashtool.

[Q] [R800i] Xperia Play Keeps Crashing When WiFi + Airplane Modes Are Toggled.

I have an new R800i, with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed dooMKernal onto it with "SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher by Bin4ry & Androxyde" and all seemed all. Then proceeded to install JokaWild ROM, again everything was fine. But when I toggle on/off the WiFi, and Airplane modes more than once the phone will freeze, and then reboot on it's own.
Thinking this was an issue with the ROM, I tried another one, Close2Perfection. Same thing… now I'm wondering if I messed anything up when I flashed dooMKernal.
Here's a quick look at what I did.
1.) rooted phone
2.) unlocked bootloader
3.) flashed doomkernal with SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher
4.) installed ROM's
Here's the log from that flashing session, if that helps at all.
