Dear all,
I am experiencing some trouble using different kernels on my R800i. I am currently running CM7.2 and the kernel that was released with one of the first RC's from CM7.1 - this is the only kernel (except the stock ones) that is working on my phone!
Any newer CM7 kernel or any CM9 kernel, Mjolnir, Drakforest, Doomlord or whatever kernel just won't work.
I see the kernel splash screen of the kernel and then it stays black or stucks and reboots. I could not even enter the recovery of any of theese kernels neither see the bootscreen of the installed roms. Only the old one I have is working.
I had always the right rom installed (CM9 for CM9 kernels, CM7 for CM7 kernels) and wiped data and cache. I tried reflashing the .62 firmware but after flashing the kernel its still not working. I tried to flash the Kernels using fastboot and flashtool, same result.
I tried the ICS official beta - the kernel from Sony works fine.
Can anyone give me some advice what i could have done wrong? I am really desperate on this, couldnt find any solution on google or in the other threads :crying:
I would really like to use CM9 but i can't because no other than my CM7 kernel is working ...
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Greetings,
Bombasti
No one any ideas?

No, stock firmwares and stock kernels are working fine, it's just that no other kernel than the one i have is working
EDIT: I remember that there was another kernel that was working, it was DoomLord's ICS kernel with touch recovery. But any current kernel from DoomLord doesn't work either...
Okay i still dont't have any idea. Today I installed Cm9.1 on my brothers phone ( he bought it 4 months after i got mine) and everything is working fine.
But if I do the same with my phone it won't work. Flashing kernel - kernel won't boot.
I even tried relocking my bootloader and restoring my phone with SE update service. Unlocked it again, flashed kernel - Won't boot...
Can anyone please give me some advice?

1. Flash the .62 firmware
2. Flash the kernel for your rom e.g. CM9 = the kernel inside the zip file OR LuPuS, Turbo, Mjolnir
3. Enter the recovery wipe data/cache and install the rom
Also make sure that you are flashing a kernel that is compatible with the ROM that you want to use.

Thanks for the reply! I did 1 and 2, but my problem occurs with 3. The kernel gets stuck before I can enter the recovery, by this i mean i see the kernel splash screen, then the display turns black and i see the splash screen again. Hitting the volume keys doesn't do anything
and this problem is not kernel specific... it's the same with almost every kernel i found in this forum :/

Make sure that you are pressing the right keys to enter recovery. For some kernels, such as Doomkernel and Lupus, it is not the volume keys but the Back key to enter the recovery menu.

Currently i have the kernel from the CM9.1 package, it should be the volume keys there, but back isn't working either. I usually press both back and volume if i am not sure.
What i really don't understand is why my old cm7 kernel (should be from august 2011) is working fine but any newer kernel be it CM7, CM9 or stock won't work...
EDIT: With stock i mean custom kernels for stock roms like Doom kernel.
EDIT2: Also the power LED should flash pink when i can enter the recovery ( i saw it at my brother's phone) ... no flashing LED with mine...

When this happen pull out the battery and turned it back and try again
Remember when the LED turn on press the volume button for cm kernel and back button for lupus, doom and turbo kernel

Well I'm not that experienced but I always stuck to the tutorials/instructions.
Ah now i get it, sorry! If you ment wether my bootloader is unlocked or not? - It's unlocked for sure. I just didn't know what I could check there, or did I understand this wrong?

Ah ok, sorry I just kinda misunderstood you.
I checked it before i unlocked it, it said Bootloader Unlockable: Yes (or sth. like this) but i didn't check after i unlocked it.
With my current CM7.2 rom this *#*#SERVICE#*# thing doesn't work, I guess it only works with stock roms?
Should i reflash stock firmware just to check this? I dunno what i will get to know then, can you tell me please?

How he can flash the kernel with locked BT ?
His BT unlocked
Im new at this so please be patient
So recently i root my device and i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836818. I did follow the instructions completely but it sad that i can use rom manager through phone. So i started rom manager and search for .zip file (costum rom) and than i backup everything. I turn off my device and turn it on while pressing the down volume key and then it went to recovery mode i think and started backing up and installing costum rom. I installed it and it say it needs to reboot to work so i rebooted and now my phone wont start and its stuck on Sony logo and i left it like that for hours and it doesnt do anything.
So i dont know what to do. Im freaking out here. So please if theres any way you could help me i would be very thankful.

Did you install kernel
I think there is a problem in your kernel. :silly:
EVERY ROM NEEDS IT'S CORRESPONDING KERNEL TO GET BOOTED :silly:
I don't know whether you have installed the corresponding ICS KERNEL or not.:angel:

Just flash the kernel through fastboot. Get the kernel from where you downloaded the ROM.
Enter into Recovery. Wipe dalvik cache, cache partition and user data.
Reflash the ROM and Reboot the device.
got solution,,dont worry
use flashtool to get back...and use original kernel ..past to flashtool/firmware.now open the flashtool,,press icon thunder.tick flashmode and connectyour phone to usb to pc/laptop(phone must on ) and flash ittttt.unplug it..and take your battry out from you phone(to off phone)..then ready to plug usb (press back button)and putt battry together..wait for finish,,and...hooorey2
I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.
Thanks n regards

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

Did you flash correct kernel for your ROM? The ROM will not boot if the kernel is not compatible.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
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

Try pressing volume up when powering on to enter twrp recovery
Hi All,
Sorry for the noob post, first time 'modding' my Acro S, but I have flashed lots of rom's on my old Xperia X10.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery today, and since doing that I have not been able to boot my phone past the Sony logo, it just reboots. I have tried to install a couple of ROM's but neither boot (Existenz Ultra & Emerald Smooth. Emerald Smooth fails with status 7 error, Existenz Ultra says it installs but still no boot. Also tried Honami rom but download always fails between 89% and 92%, tried 3 times). i also can't power off the phone, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried to repair my phone with PC Companion but it won't work due to the unlocked bootloader.
I would really like to install a stable custom rom as I found the stock rom had alot of lag, but at this stage I just want to get the phone working again! Can anyone guide me to which kernel files to install which include the latest cwm, how to install them and suggestions of which rom to use?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
To turn off your device, press and hold the volume up+power button combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be powered off. You can now connect it to your pc in flash mode. Please use Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the stock rom as your bootloader is unlocked. Once the flash procedure is complete, normally turn on your device and it should boot up properly. After that, you will have to flash a custom kernel like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309117
Then you can flash any custom rom in cwm.

Thankyou!! Do you happen to have a link to the stock JB rom for 6.2.B.1.96? I could only find ICS or earlier builds of JB....
