Hey guyz!
Well, Here's my story
I unlocked the bootloader of my Arc..... Flashed the 0.42 rooted .ftf file and well I had my arc.
I took backup of all my stuff and thought of installing CM7.
So well, I downloaded the latest CM7 Mod from the website stable one and fastboot'd (or whatever the language is) the boot.img into my arc.
And den I booted my phone into recovery mode, wiped my cache, system and data and flashed the update_cm7.1.zip file into it.
Not my phone after booting up dosent work. It shows the lock screen and within a second boots again :'(
I searched and found that I did not install the CWM Recovery and guessed that it was crucial for it.
Now I have a dead phone.
Can you Pleaaaaaaaase Help Me out!
My mobile is my life and my parents will kill me
Thanks Alot!
Install doom kernel via fastboot
Enviado desde mi LT18i usando Tapatalk
Done Doom Kerenal
Still going into Infinite BootLoop!!
you usually wipe everything(user data, cache, dalvik cache) after flashing the ROM
or try repeating the whole process
- flash .42 ftf file using flashtool 0.6.7 then disconnect device
- fastboot flash boot boot.img(from the CM7 package) then disconnect device
- power-on and go to recovery then flash the CM7 ROM then GAPPS
- wipe user data, cache and dalvik cache
- reboot
I suggest you also try FXP105 package here in XDA, I think it's more updated than the one from official CM7 site

What are you talking about?
DooMKernel is for stock based ROMs, not for CM.
I'd recommend to you to check out FXP's CM7, it's way better and stable, imo.

Connect your device with your current ROM to a PC.
Put the ROM (*.zip file) on your sdcard.
Shutdown device.
Connect your device with fastboot mode (pressing menu button) to a PC.
Go to your fastboot folder.
Press shift key, right click and select "Open command window here".
Install kernel by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
After installing disconnect your device from PC.
Enter CWM recovery by pressing volume down button several times while booting.
Do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Select install zip from sdcard.
Navigate to the folder you've saved the ROM and select it.
After installing select reboot system now.

Now I got the same problem as Serebii. I've done all you've said, but I just get a black screen flashing the kernel. The fxp-Logo doesn't appear and I can't get into recovery mode.
Have you guys flashed .42 firmware before?
Or are you using a different?
You'd have to flash .42 firmware (look into CM7 thread) and then do the above steps again.
guys, when flashing kernel, look closely on your fasboot command window if there's something like "1 bad blocks encountered" message
should be "0 bad blocks encountered" for the kernel to work fine from what I know
Did That
Still Nothing...
Although Unlike macmeir, I'm able to go into recovery adn first see SE, and den CM7 boot logo
And also 1 second of the CM7 Welcome screen.
Thats It
Yea, It isnt showing any bad blocks
Now I got my phone back to life. I flashed the .42 firmware with flashtool. But then I had to install the fxp103-stuff. I cleared all caches, etc. It's strange; I did it before but it didn't work. I don't know if I've done something different.
But I'm still not able to run fxp104 or 105. I won't try again soon, because I spend five hours to get my device working.
Thanx for your help and good luck to you, Serebii.
good for you.
btw, you can also try Doomkernel on stock ROM, it's a great combo, I always go back to that setup
OK,
I flashed the latest CM7.2 And My Phone's alive Again!
A Biiiiiiiiig Thanks to Everybody!!

Which recovery do you install?
Can you use CWM to flash zip files?

If you have a locked BL, I assume that CWM is installer onto the /system partition. So, if you try to wipe /system, it fails.But I think it should work for the cache...

Here, try using this CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939875
BTW, if you wipe /system then it should not give you any error because CWM is loaded into the ram. Once you reboot though, you will lose CWM.

It's the same for me. Locked bootloader, .55 ICS.
Downloaded a ROM, rebooted into CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and then formatted /system.
Then tried to flash the ROM and only after about 5 seconds it said that it's done.
Got stuck at sony logo when rebooting, couldn't enter CWM, too.
I did this even twice and both times the there was the same result. So I had to flash the official firmware via flashtool.
So, do I have to flash a clean official ICS firmware, root it and then without any wiping in CWM, simply flash the custom ROM?
Such a noob with my XS, although I modded my previous device a lot.

Thank you for the correction. I once used CWM on my locked BL Xperia S and I had an issue with the /system partition. Maybe I did something wrong (but now my BL is unlocked )
So i'm a newbie here. I've only installed one custom rom so far. I have an R800i with unlocked bootloader, DoomKernel v14 and Auroraplay v0.8. The thing is I want to install Lupus GBv8 kernel and the newest AuroraPlay, but i'm not sure what the steps are. Do i have to reinstall the original .ftf again then flash the kernel in fastboot and then the ROM?

That's the way to clean install (Recommended by me @@!)
Ỏ u can just flash the kernel. Then boot into recovery, and wipe everything. Last, flash the ROM
Flash firmware that have unlocked vendor partition, so you can have 600MB data partition (and you should do only once)
Power off, flash kernel without booting to OS, wipe data and system, and install new rom.

hello , i have rooted my Xperia play and i have a question , can I install Gin2JellyBean on it with a locked bootloader and a CWM installed from X-parts ? Can I backup my stock rom with it if I get a bootloop ? From my exGalaxy Mini i know that when you flash a Custom Rom you need to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, if I do it when i install Gin2JellyBean My cwm will get deleted because i have read that it installs to /system not on it's own recovery partiton

to make it short:
- yes you can install
- yes you can backup stock (in rooted sate with xparts installed) before install - and revert later (you also can recover completely with sony tool any time)
- regarding factory - if you reset - just reinstall xparts
- for gin2jelly install instructions head to related thread plz
and to make it easier, procedure is all the same for locked bootloaders to install custom roms (GB roms only). just be sure that the rom supports locked bootloaders.

In process of making full 2.67 ftf. will make a seperate one tmrw with only baseband and kernel just its 3:08 am and almost passing out waiting for stuff to be done sorry will continue tmrw
Finally, a stock deodexed .67 rom. My prayers have been answered. This was made specifically for the C6506? I'd like to have an LTE icon instead of just plain 4G. Thanks.
Not sure about 4g icon or lte icon but if i can modify somehow to change it so it shows lte, then it will be done I am still working on making the 2.67 ftf and from then I have to make a flashable .zip from it tht can be flashed through cwm and then I have to port the xperia z rom over So I have my work cut out for me And not to mention I have my daily life to live too so I can't be doing this 24/7 lol. That would just drain me.
Waiting!

cant flash via cwm.. getting error massage
Did you do full wipe of /system /data /cache /dalvik cache? in cwm? and did you do everything in the instructions?
Can you deodex this rom?
That can always be done through an app from the play store long as you have root
I don't see any app that does it. What is it specifically?
I also get an error when trying to flash this.
"E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/ROM.zip"
There's no MD5 signature to verify. I am using CWM v6.0.4.4 and coming from the latest CM 10.2 Nightly.
android tuner is able to do it. its a free app
i made this by simply putting it all together so make sure you don't have signature verification on in cwm otherwise it won't work. Its just basic stock odex. Deodex is easy with android tuner and root is required for android tuner of course.

Could be my mistake, or bad download...but flash did occur, without any error messages. However, it simply did not copy any files. All I was left was a SONY logo. Had to press off inside SIM compartment and use flashtool to fresh install a FTF via flashmode.
Is it me or I just can't see an option in android tuner for deodexing the rom.
when u optimize all apps it deodexs it automatically and tht its all in the settings its really extensive though u have to go through everything to find it. everything can be set on boot pretty much
So, this is a deodexed rom? or not a deodexed rom?
What does it say in the title of the thread?

Says odex... but some of the posts left me wondering...
