[Q] Help with Xperia Play - Flash?

Hello! I'm a noob here for now, but I hope I can change that.
I will own an Xperia Play soon.
(EDIT)If it helps: It will be an Xperia Play in White. I read that it may be R800i... don't know what's meant and what differences are. (Because there is R800x, R800a...)
I found out, that you can install ROMS, and do a lots of stuffs (well, it's Sony) if you flash it or something...
My question:
After searching the Board for how to flash it, i realized that I don't know so much about the Xperia Play and where I should begin.
I ask you, how do I flash it, what about the ROMs and what should I know about it, I mean, what does this flashing give to me? (I know about the risks since I'm hacking and flashing PlayStation Consoles...) Is there more things I can do then with it?
Thank you in advance! Any help is good for me.
Greetings,
HelpmeImTired.

U can flash custom kernel and custom rom to PLAY
For kernel, it normally will give u more freedom to play with you device cpu speed and some tweaks related to it (like i/o and else) some kernel also bring support to more advanced setup option for your device
To flash custom kernel u will need unlocked bootloader.
As custom rom, i believe u will understand what it can do by browse through development section..
Normally we flash the rom via CWM recovery (which normally come together with custom kernel)

If I understand right, I have found in this Wiki (where I looked for some Answers) a Link to a bootloader unlocker (incl. Guide) and I should follow all the steps. Is it important to know, which version I have?

What about this CWM recovery? And where do I get this custom kernel?
I know, I'm noob. Hope I get some more answers. I want to "unlock" my phone (which I received today (AWESOME HAPPY ) ) as soon as possible ^^
I saw awesome THEMES for that phone and want to apply them.
Getting the Custom Kernel to my phone will give me access to install games the so called illegal way? You may know what I mean... after getting the software just installing it and the phone doesn't .. you know what I mean.
Thank you!

Install the CORRECT wifi Modules for the kernel AFTER installing ROM.
Download the Wifi Modules from same topic as the kernel, install the modules after the kernel and ROM.

After Miui4 Aroma Instaler rum phone automatic reboot. before this im go im clockworkmod and install modules.
One question, im momet fo do root process with doom script my kernel is replaced? In topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308849 mention of doom kernel is not compatilbe with wifi modules of this kernel.

The other thing to maybe consider, is re downloading both the kernel and the wifi module to ensure your using the proper corresponding module to the kernel. usually posted within the same development post. just thinking that if you perhaps downloaded the module thats been changed for an updated kernel, who knows, just a thought

[Q] Can not enter recovery

Help! I can not enter recovery with any kernels which support MIUI rom like
Fusion kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926299
And this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452819
Other kernels work great.
My device: Sony xperia arc lt15i, baseband 85, Unlocked bootloader

Use latest fusion kernel
Fusion is best kernel I have ever found
Use latest so that u could have no trouble
No need to flash other wifi modules and so on
You wont get any regret feeling after you use fusion!!!!

But the problem is that i cant enter recovery mod. How can i flash any Rom.

[Q] Please Help!

Hi
Firstly apologies for these questions I've been out of the loop in these regards for a while.
I am currently using a ROM based on ICS with DoomLord kernel but I have no Play Store and the phone in it's current state is not usable effectively.
I have 2 options, Either return the device to the latest stock ROM etc... would having DooMLoRDs Kernel effect this?
Or use a stable up to date clean ROM?
If someone could provide feedback in relation to this and how to do it that would be great, I haven't use this device in a year but now need to use it as my daily driver until my Z1 gets fixed.
Many Thanks

Nevermind, I simply flashed Gin2KitKat 4.1 then the 4.2 update then the WiFi modules for DooMLoRD Kernel and it's working again.
May flash a newer Kernel tomorrow if I get time

How do you flash the wifi modules? I know you put the modules on the SD card but then what did you do to make wifi work?

Kernel explain

My question is
Can i install kernel when ive got working phone like right now?? Or i have reflash all thing again?? What woukd happen if i will flash kernel right now ?? And just only kernel. And what adv gives me to install custom kernel pls explain

Hi,
Based on your post, I don't have enough information to say one way or the other. To flash another kernel you need to have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. If you meet both of these conditions, then yes you can install a different kernel regardless of the fact that you aren't installing a ROM and Kernel at the same time. As always, make sure you take back ups before you proceed.
The next step is working out with kernel. You can not install a kernel designed for a stock based ROM on CM13 or vice versus.

Ravi

Flashing a kernal is simple. Just head into recovery and flash. You'll keep all your data and everything would look like the same like before.
