Hi,
I went to use up my Xperia Play after a long time without using it.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 9 to it.
It's got a Lupus Kernel (2.4.4.0).
I don't remember how I installed that and at the point I put it away in storage It didn't seem to have a running rom, though looking at the card I have a backup of an altered Xperia Ray stock rom I used to use.
I cleared out the cache, dalvik cache and system (even though there didn't seem to be one), installed Cyanogenmod from a zip of cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip on the sdcard using the Dalvik 'install from zip'.
But now Cyanogenmod is stuck on the boot screen - with the picture of the android.
I've tried wiping and reinstalling multiple times.
What should I do to get it working?
Do I need to have a different Kernel?
Could the Kernel be corrupted?
Do I have to install from a windows pc running fastboot?
Is it because I need a different Lupus Kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
Seems to indicate so;
"Custom Partitions ( Does not support CM9 )
LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img
...
Stock Partitions ( Supports CM9 ) (camera in cm9 not working)
LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv6-full.img"
But I'd want the camera working so how would I achieve that? Do I need to change Kernel?
Any suggestions on a decent Kernel that would support the camera?
Use lupus ics/gb v6, or use boot.img (kernel) that is inside zip file you flashed

For those that want information I've a GSM model and I flashed this upon
.58 Enhanced v2
-Firstly Flash DooMLoRDs ICS Beta Kernel via fastboot OK!
-Boot the phone into recovery OK!
-Perform a Factory Reset OK!
-Wipe cache and dalvik-cache OK!
-Flash the Zip from SD Card in recovery OK
-REBOOT and Enjoy! - Stuck On Kernel Screen / DoomLord Kernel ICS Beta
I'm unsure what to do, all the other roms seem to work well for me.
This rom is built based on KA14 Test Play which does not work for me either, and Cyanogen 9 RC2 is sluggish at games at least for me.
Cyanogen 7 is slow on the menu and all apps always stay in memory.
I just want to add this rom to my collection I.E I make a backup of each Rom and Kernel so I can switch without using a laptop.

Hi , what was your rom before trying to install miui?
It seems so I had two recoveries at that point of which one being the leftover and which is terminated upon forst boot and one in the IcsBeta Kernel. What have I done is used the leftover CWM and that was the error. Anyway I found out this by accident when trying to enter flashmode and I didn't realise the kernel booted. I've flashed this rom using the kernel's touchscreen recovery and that worked for me. Anyway to answer your question it was 2.3.4 stock (.58) Enhanced version v2 anyway considering this is as an ICS ROM I should be able to get to it with any Gingerbread version.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app and Miui v4 - Which IS installed.
So recently, Ive got my SE Xperia Play Bootloader Unlocked and I tried flashing the Darkforest ICS V4.1.23 rom onto the device. So I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 onto my phone with the help of CWM Auto Installer App. Then I reboot the phone into recovery mode and flashed the Darkforest ICS rom onto it after wiping all cache data and factory wipe and stuffs. However , when I reboot it I realised it was actually stuck at the Sony Ericsson White Words. So I guess it was properly due to the Kernel. Thus, I flashed the Darkforest ICS kernel onto the device through flashtool. But when I reboot the phone, it was stuck at the Sony logo for a long time, and it won't load. Afterward I entered the recovery mode of the kernel and checked it out. I therefore tried to flash the Darkforest ICS rom once again after wiping all data (Factory Reset and stuffs). However, when I'm about to choose zip to install from SD Card, there was an error saying that the SD card can't be mounted. I tried flashing other kernels like Advanced Stock Kernel but when I try to install zip from SD card, there will be an error saying SD Card cannot be mounted.
The only time I am able to flash the rom is when the device is in its original kernel.
Currently, I have restored the original SE firmware onto my Xperia Play but I really want to flash Darkforest ICS rom onto my phone. If I am doing the wrong thing, please tell me the correct methods. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Someone pls help !!!
Flash the stock ftf for your model. Boot it to set up. Power off then fastboot the kernel for your ics rom. Boot into recovery then wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then install from sd. There's no need for cwm app if your using custom kernel. Most come with recovery.

:angel: first of all calm down. find some good rom and a kernel first. im using MIUI cutom kernel. go to MIUI website find the insatallation procedure. download the things. if you cant go into fastboot mod. connect the phone to the pc and while conecting press "search botton on your play device" then it'll be recognized by the flash tool. then flash the kernel and fallow the steps given by MIUI... all the best.. :angel:
Hello again guys, I installed LuPuS v8 JB Kernel on my phone (I had 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced Firmware (Gingerbread) installed) then I went to CWM to flash the .zip with the wifi modules and G.Apps but when I rebooted I got a bootloop. what I have to do to correctly install it? Please guide me since I'm kinda newbie to this of unlocked bootloaders and kernels :/ (I'm trying to install PACman rom and followed the FAQ guide but...)
EDIT: Forgot to add, my PLAY is an r800a(i) GSM btw, I have to take off the SDcard to enter to the Kernel menu, idk if this is normal

After you flash the Rom reboot the phone and just let it fully boot. After that you can go back to CWM and flash the WiFi modules and other add-ons
You need to boot into the kernel's recovery and set it to jb mode or ics depending on your rom. Then make sure your rom and gapps don't exceed the system partition size, which it most likely did if you flashed the full gapps package as well.
The default recovery for the lupus jb kernel is TWRP, if you load into another CWM recovery it most likely did not flash to the correct partition arrangement that lupus kernel use therefore the rom can't boot.

Sounds like you didn't wipe data
So go into cwm and wipe cache,data,delvick and try rebooting then

These are the steps I did
1.- Flash the 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced (2.3.4 firmware)
2.- Flash the LuPuSv8 JB Kernel via flashtools
3.- Take out the SDcard (I can't access to kernel menu without taking it out)
4.- Access Kernel menu then go into recovery mode
5.- Wipe data/cache/davlik
6.- Flash p.a.c.man jb
7.- Reboot
And then it bootloops and stays like that (i left it alone and it stayed like that for about 20 or 30 minutes)
I also wiped data/cache and davlik after flashing the rom, but got the same results, maybe I need a vendor unlocked firmware like in Turbo Kernel? I will try that...
Edit: Flashed the vendor unlocked firmware then wiped cache and data then installed the PACman rom but got bootloop again, maybe I should try with another kernel...

Do as above but after step 5 you need to go to mounts & storage and format Data/Cache & System (IMPORTANT DO NOT FORMAT ANYTHING ELSE):good:
Then flash p.a.c.man JB

flashing that ftf was ur problem. U needed to flash the ftf with unlocked partitions. Same thing you shpoud of also needed to do for turbo kernel then format system and data partitions in either CWM or via fastboot, then flash kernel.

I flashed the FTF with unlocked partitions played with the phone for about 30 secs, then flashed kernel, went to kernel menu then formated system, data, cache and davlik via CWM then flashed the rom, but that ended in bootloop, did the same with turbo kernel and it worked.
easy fix dont use Pac Rom its junk

Just want to tell you that your kernels are by far the best. But the PAC man rom and the Paranoid hmm Dont work I cant get them to ever boot on my R800x CDMA
Keep up the hard work.
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc lt15i from 2011 with unlocked bootloader
I flash it with lt15i_4.1.B.0.431_ready to root
after that i root it
after that i flash it with LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel
and after that i install cwm and recharge battery on 100%
Than I Factory reset Wipe/format system, cache, data, dalvik all that... try to install cm10 and than i got error status 7
anyone know how to solve this?
From where did you download Cm10 and which device are you using?
What you need to do is flash the kernel provided in the cm10..zip folder named as boot.img
1.Extract boot.img from zip file of cm10
2.Enter fastboot using flashtool
3. flash kernel
4. Enter recovery and install Cm10...
5. enjoy...And make sure you leave it for 15mins for it to settle down at first boot...
Question [Q] CM10 install problem
thermrperfecto was spot on:good:What you had tried to do was flash the stock .587_kernel as a general rule different types of roms have different kinds of kernels.
Basically GB roms have GB kernels, ICS roms have ICS kernels,JB roms have JB kernels and yes wait for it! Cyanogenmod roms have CM kernels:good:There is a couple of exceptions with the new TWRP kernels/recoveries which can multiboot a small number of compatible rom's,but generally the kernel's match the rom.
As thermrpefecto said the kernel for cm10 is in the .zip file you downloded or there are a few compatible kernels in the Development section :good:
I've been trying for the past two days to flash CM9 (cm-9.1.0-anzu) on my Arc S (LT18i), but with no success, as each time I try to install it through Recovery mode (which I installed using RecoverX, as xparts and CWM Rom Manager don't seem to work) I run into the Status 7 error.
I read all I could here about this error 7, but nothing seems to work to me (reinstalling this or that kernel, et cetera). And each time I have to flash the original ftf for the stock GB (lt18i_62.ftf). My bootloader is unlocked.
This is basically my procedure, and obviously something must be dead wrong with it:
1) After some failed attempt, I flash the stock ROM back via Flashtool.
>Now I'm on this setup:
Android: 2.3.4;
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] # 1
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
2) I root succesfully via ERoot.
3) I install CWM through RecoverX.
4) I boot it to recovery, wipe data, cache, delvik, etc, and attempt to flash any custom rom (I've tried CM9, CM7 and some "PAC_iyokan_JB_4.1.2-v19.3.0"), all of which give me the Status 7 error.
What gives? Should I be flashing a specific kernel somewhere or something?
Thanks in advance.
Don't wipe /system, this causes the issue, as CM builds are made to check, that the correct firmware is being installed the phone (not the wrong phone model ROM).
Also, CM9 requires custom kernel, so instead of rooting and installing recovery, flash the custom kernel and use it's built-in recovery.
Which wipes should I do, then? None? I'm not sure which wipe wipes /system.
Which custom kernel is that? Surely not the boot.img included in cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip, right?
And this custom kernel, should I flash it using flashmode or fastboot mode?

Wipes - Same as earlier, but do not choose format /system.
boot.img is the custom kernel file. And it can only be installed in fastboot mode.

I don't think I was wiping /system (I'm not even sure how that is done), but installing the custom kernel and then installing CM through its own recovery did the trick, thanks a lot!
Though CM9 is pretty old, so I now itch to try CM10... Is this procedure (installing the boot.img kernel, running its recovery, flashing ROM+gapps) the same for all CM ROMs, or all LT18i ROMs, for that matter?
Thanks again!

Yes it's pretty much the same... And always use the kernel inside zip...
