hi
i flash a system image in the boot partition using FlashTool progrem
And I changed kernel
Only now I realized I needed to use fastboot and command prompt to flash the img file to the system partition.
And when I do that it tells me "flash operation complete"
But the kernel is not replaced!!??!!
i try QuikIMG-0.2-beta and the fastboot and command prompt to flash the img file to the system partition and this didnt work....
what i can do?
tnx!!!

Are you trying to Flash it via Fastboot Mode?
You have to change the File Extension from .rar to .ftf , and then Flash it via FLASH MODE (NOT Fastboot Mode) in FlashTool.

If you Flashed the Stock Firmware for your phone and you say that the kernel has not changed how are you able to see what kernel you have if the phone should not be able to boot(Because it would be like trying to use a Costume ICS kernel on the Stock GB ROM)???

Have you flashed a Custom ROM?
If you have, please specify exactly what version of the Lupus Kernel and what ROM you are using.
And if you have not flashed a Custom ROM, as I said before trying to use a Custom Kernel on the Stock ROM will not work(it will not boot in most cases), you need to Flash a Custom ROM that is compatible with the Lupus Kernel you are using.

Okay first of all, I don't think you understand the difference between a ROM, Kernel, and Firmware so I'll explain that first:
A ROM (In Android) is basically like the OS, it contains all the software you see and use on the phone. The kernel would be what connects the ROM (the OS) with the phone's hardware. A firmware would be a combination of both a Kernel and a ROM and its most commonly used to describe the Original ROM and Kernel of the phone (Stock Firmware). Please confirm that you Understand.
Now, I have never used SuperOneclick to root the Xperia Play so I really can't tell you what you are doing wrong. If you want, use zergRush. You don't have to install it, here is the basic procedure:
download the attached file, extract it using winzip/winrar
go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME.bat"
read and follow the instructions on the screen!
[04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)
I don't think you will have any problems if you Flashed a R800i Firmware on a R800a, but just to be sure use Firmware made for your phone.
And if what you mean by "what Firmware I recommend" is what ROM do I recommend, here it is:
If you want Gingerbread(Android 2.3): Gin2KitKat
If you want ICS(Android 4.0): Xperia Play Z
If you want Jellybean(Android 4.1.2): Racing SPEED EDITION EOL or Super Lite Jelly Bean
For each ROM you have to install the Kernel it tells you to(Read instructions). I also want to add that their is no such thing as a best ROM, each ROM has its Pros and Cons, and what might appeal to me might not to you. I would recommend for you to try different ROMs and see what suits you.
And last, Please Click on the Thanks Button

Hi everyone! I got the Nitro yesterday and I have tried EVERY possible method under the sun to get root onto my 2.3.5 V10J stock firmware. I am generally good at stuff, but the unbricking tutorial really confuses me. Is there any other way to just get CWM onto the phone and then install a pre-rooted ROM? Or an easier way to root? I tried superoneclick a 100 times, and it just behaves read only. does not allow the software to access root. This is the error I get with all rooting scripts!

Apparently there is atm no way to get cwm or cwm recovery on your phone w/out going through oh no!'s rom which as a prerequisite you must follow the unbricking method.
If you want go to my profile and check out my recent posts in the nitro general subforum and youll see my little journey....which others were annoyed with ...lmao.
I am currently rooted, running stock ics and love it. I have no issues phone runs near perfect.
I did not "unbrick" my phone and just flashed an older rom (v18) and rooted.
Sparky's root method is the only method that will root this phone via ics.
I made a thread explaining in detail some steps that were not mentioned.
Dont bother with doomlord, oneclick.
Since the tapatalk search function sucks balls use the xda search function from the actual browser.
Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will chime in.
Dont fear the unbrick.
Take your time
Read slow and also read through other peoples posts and what they did wrong, how they remedied it blah blah...
Dont take any short cuts unless for sure, you know exactly what you are doing.
Make sure you have everything ready and have read through prior to doing it.
Nothing to fear flashing is pretty straight forward.
Just take your time.

I went from Stock ATT 2.5.6 V10J to ATT STOCK V10F .Using [GUIDE] Unbrick, Root, And Install CWM by mattman86 . Its long but doable its not even that long really .O tip uninstall all the drivers you might have installed and use the one that come with the unbricking pack ,its the key to the whole thing. Im in CM10 Nightly now .Good luck and dont get frustrated its rootable its just not a one click root.
Just keep trying to run the root. I used super one click and it took me at least 20-30 attempts to successfully root. If it asks you if your version is 2 or higher or fails to push any files to the phone, the root will not take. Just reboot the phone and keep trying.
Try using viperMOD PrimeTime v4.6, that's a lot easier and faster, despite what everyone else says, you can root 10j.
Good Luck

4.0.4 version cannot be rooted directly with a program, no such hack.
You have two options.
1) Unlock bootloader (and lose DRM if done official way) and install/hotboot custom kernel to get root.
2) Install any previous ROM, which can be rooted (GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 or ICS4.0.3 4.1.A.0.562 for example), root it and then find the proper guide to root Xperia 4.0.4 and follow it.

If you've unlocked your boot loader this should be easy. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18445331#post18445331
Flash THIS with the flashtool, reboot, download the kernel and wifi modules from HERE, flash the kernel with fastboot, reboot to home screen. Reboot into CWM and flash the modules, reboot to home screen. Finally, reboot back into CWM and flash this CWMRoot.zip, done.

Actually the best option is to flash 4.1.A.0.562 using flashtool, root it and upsate to .431 with OTA.
Since u have already unlocked boot loader u wont be getting ota updates from sony. So there is no use of flashing 4.1.A.0.562 coz neways u cant update to .431 over OTA.
So its better to flash some custom roms like Ultimate hd 2 (ICS) or X gamer 1.8 (GB)
These 2 roms are the fastest ICS and GB roms available.
DRM is "Digital Rights Management"
its a way to lock down digital media to a specific user and in some cases restrict the ways in which that media can be used and/or copied

1. For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash one of the Recomnend Kernels; "Adv. Stock Kernel" or "KTG Anzu"
So use one or the other kernel and you'll fix your wifi.good luck

I am trying to install CWM on my bootloader locked Xperia S.
It's all went smoothly; downgraded to gingerbread, run the rooting process, currently on a confirmed rooted ICS. Ran RecoverX and for all intentions it installs correctly with no errors. I restart my phone and tap the Sony logo numerous times... and I've tried a countless amount of times now but it just continues on loading stock ICS. It's really starting to get on my nerves now. Does anyone have any idea why it's happening? or is there any adb commands to check if CWM is installed?
RecoverX says accept any SuperUser prompts on the screen, but none appear.
RecoverX log:

Even though I clearly have access to my phone via adb. Because it's been rooted... Grr!
Nobody have any idea? Spent around 12 hours trying to sort it out yesterday so I'm completely out of things to try
For search purposes I ended up fixing it by updating the flashtool drivers for the phone (ticked every Xperia S checkbox). Well, it was either that or perhaps updating BusyBox, which is highly unlikely as I tried pretty much every version of it yesterday.
hi,i get this message when i try to run adb remount(remount failed: Operation not permitted) or adb root(adbd cannot run as root in production builds).phone is rooted on.55 and i can see it when running adb devices.The reason i find it is because i cant install cwm as when i m running install get this

Is your Locked Bootloader unlocked ?
no, i have locked bootloader
I am not responsible for whatever may happen to you or your device when using this, Run this at your own risk!!
Requires unlocked bootloader!
Based on SuperSU - v4.46 (the binary updates from within the app later on)
I put together root installer script that comes with SU-binary/App with a insecure boot.img, everything is done over adb shell since we don't have a recovery right now but i will be working on it and already booted CWM
For current firmware:
LMY47D - root-boot
For past firmware:
LRX21V - root-boot
For past firmware:
LRX21M - root-boot
crappy video but simple demonstration :good:How to install:
Download the zip depending on your Nexus Player's firmware than extract & run root-boot.bat (Other operating system support coming soon for the installer script) Made on windows 7
Follow and read the on screen instruction carefully
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SU app and binarys gets installed to /system/* directory's, The insecure boot.img gets installed to be able to access root adb shell and install those binarys
The root-boot boot.img is temporarily booted once during this process on the first boot of installation, it does not flash the boot.img
The previous boot.img before the installation is restored after SU is installed

Troubleshooting:
Check to make sure your device gets picked up in adb before running the script - - - ADB Drivers
This tool uses an unlocked bootloader and i have not unlocked mine yet, does unlocking the bootloader wipe the device? - - - Yes unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device
After fastboot flashed the boot.img than rebooted to the home screen i continued the the script like the installation steps said but it returned "device not found" - - - As long as it shows transferring files a few seconds after than its fine, adb restarts at that moment which will than return "device not found" than it reconnects and transfers. if fastboot flashed than rebooted fine than adb shouldn't have an issue
Help! Something went wrong and im bootlooping but i dont want to loose all my saved data - - - Everything is fine, Download the factory zip from here for your android version than extract the zip and retrieve the system.img and copy it into a folder that contains adb/fastboot and boot your device into fastboot mode and do "fastboot flash system system.img" doing it this way wont wipe your "/data" partition leaving everything intact but will restore the system back to its defaults
(If you were to run the factory zip as an update than it would format everything)
I installed SU with this method but cant use adb commands on my device - - - Go into "Settings>About" and click on "Build" 7 times very fast and it will enable "Developer options" in the settings menu, Go back to the settings menu and open developer options (You may need to reboot if it doesnt show up immediately) and enable the "USB debugging" option
Ill be updating this as new version of lollipop get released
support for both firmwares are up, any issues let me know i tested them both though and everything looked okay
Reuploading, had a minor issue
Edit: LRX21M link back up, let me know if there's any issues

Working well, Thank you, after semi-manually adapting for working from Linux Mint.
I don't have permission to do "adb logcat" or "adb shell logcat" anymore though, unless I restart adbd as root.

Use adb shell
than type su to use root adb shell
Since running the script everything seems all good except for using voice search. Anybody else having issues where voice search just closes?
Update: Erased and manually flashed the V firmware as I was on M and now it appears to be working correctly, not sure if this is going to be a problem with people stuck on M for now but you may want to think of upgrading your fimware.

at what point, adb will restart about half way through and it shows it cant connect to device but it really is
but if your in fastboot and it cant connect to the device than thats an issue

Looks like it's working now. Before I was getting that the file couldn't be found. Thanks I appreciate you releasing this I just got it unlocked so time to root and have some fun expanding the storage to 128gb
Alright so I just got around to running the script, and none of the commands work after booting back up. There's a failure for every rmdir and mkdir command that's used, so the device doesn't get rooted. I tried doing a adb remount, but the device isn't allowing that.

The first time around I got into the bootloop so I had to start over. Second time and it worked now it seems that I can't get apps to install through the adb install command. I'm mainly trying to get es file explorer and stick mount so I can use an external flash drive. Is it possible that the root method somehow nuked this functionality? I've already restarted the adb server numerous times, rebooted the player, turned debugging off and back on, etc. Even after all that it just sits after displaying the transfer rate and never finishes.
Edit: Nevermind. Looks like this issue also goes back to having to do adb root and adb remount. Gotta do it for everything apparently
