[Q] installing kernels ontop of another kernel

I havent hacked my Xperia much and I simply wanted to know I'm using aokplay and doom kernel if I could switch to kierans kernel without having to revert to ice beta or would it break my device?
No
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Is that a no to it would break my device or a no as in it isn't possible?
No it won't break your device when you fastboot flash a kernel it will erase the old one and install the new one. It won't affect your rom either the system will be just as it was before

Xperia Play custom kernels

I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

Order doesn't matter, just phone won't boot if kernel and rom are not same android version, fixable by doing the other steps

Phone blocked at 2nd logo

Hi everybody,
I have a stock Xperia arc S fully stock. Today I try to root my device and after I sucessufuly complete the root, I've started to unnistall all the unnecessary apps in order to improve the device speed. I was thinking I was doing everything right but I think I have unnistalled some apps that a shoudn't. After I exit the Titaniun backup I've notice that I have no launcher, so I try to reboot the device. After that it does not pass the second logo and I don't know what to do. Last time I've had the USB Debug off and now I can't turn it on to restore via PC company and I've allready try to flash the previous kernel but I really think the problem is related to some apps that I've had unnistall. Do you think you can help me solve my problem?
Thank you for your time :l

wipe cache &dalvik; run aroma from cwm and select your preference
You not do a backup via cwm recovery just reinstall backup if you have.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
If you installed cwm..
Then go to cwm when you power on by pressing volume down +power on
And do factory reset
Else download latest stock Rom(.ftf files) and flash via flash tools
Check the tutorials first

[Q] halp

I need help guys, I installed lupus http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1849536
But the recoveries won't load, they are stuck at loading screen, both cwm and twrp.
I have flashed the enhanced firmware via flashtool before recovery.
Does anyone have Doomlord v14 kernel img for me ? can't download it from the thread!!
Have flashed firmware again with flashtool, have OS but no working recoveries..
Got root, x-parts recovery doesn't work for me

I do have root so if you could do that, that would be soo helpful.
My bootloader is unlocked, but with that recovery I can flash a rom.
I think the rom i will flash has a kernel + recovery, is that a bad thing?

Oh that's okay, well as far as I know there is LupusGB and Doomkernel which are suggested in the rom thread. LupusGB doesn't work for me, and Doomkernel cannot be downloaded anymore..
What are you suggesting? I'm not familiar with this phone, just got it a few days
