[Q] Potentially bricked play. Error installing rom in CWM - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I tried installing the latest CM9 nightly and when my phone rebooted it was stuck at the FreeXperia logo. I rebooted the phone and tried to get into CWM recovery but couldn't. So I booted into fastboot and installed the boot image from this (I can't like to the rom but it is called cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip) rom. Now I can get into CWM recovery. When ever I try to install the rom I get an error message Status 7. This happens after it says "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "R800i" etc.
It looks like either my device name on my phone is wrong or the device name for the rom is wrong. I'm pretty sure the rom I downloaded is the right one though. I've installed roms before but never ran into an issue like this so I'm lost. Seeing as I can get in to CWM recovery I reckon I should be able to get it back working again. Would really appreciate some help here.
Cheers.

Downloading flashtool now. Will report back if it works or not. Hopefully it does.

I'm back on stock SE 2.3.3 rom now. Thanks a million, CyberScopes.

I guess I spoke too soon. It seemed like it was working fine with the stock rom. I went to put CM9 on it and everything worked fine apart from it not recognising the baseband. I put on the stock rom again and now it just keeps rebooting. *sigh*

Make sure you now have a compatible kernel and ROM.

Also make sure you have the recommended basebrand. I use .64

OK, I'm back on stock and the baseband is recognised. The guide I have been using for installing CM9 is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600833&highlight=cm9+guide). Is there something missing from that guide. I've never had to check if the kernel and rom were compatible. When using fastboot, I use the boot.img from the rom I download.

Flash kernel using flashtool.
Remember to do complete internal wipe and cache wipe.

I figured out why baseband wasn't working on CM the first time. It turns out that the stock rom I was using was an old one and the baseband for that wasn't working on CyanogenMod. I downloaded a newer one, installed that and then stuck CM9 on it and everything is working fine. Phew. Thanks again for the help. Really appreciate it.

Ure welcome. Im glad i helped u.

*my opinion*
your running gb, some of the newer roms are ics created, will cause conflict between the 2 hence why the non flash capable. i would recommend to update to ics and try again, make sure u nandro first in the event you wanna revert back to prior os and maybe that will solve your probs. hope this helps

I had this problem too both on My Vibrant and Galaxy Tab 10.1. I say odin to stock and do a clean install of the rom. that always seemed to fix it for me
Check the md5sum and see if it matches before flashing any rom thats very important.... Or what cwm version u using??? Cause the touch cwm has some issues so i changed to the non touch cwm its more secure

if you want, do what i did, i restored stock ics and cleaned up my phone fully as from factory. started from root to flashing all the stuff all over, now im on a clean sd card( backedup all the external sd on my pc) so i have tons of room to play with. hope this helps

After flashing MinCo 4.1.1 ROM phone shows 4.1 ?

Hi, this is my first post so please be patient with me
Today I finally decided to update my Nexus from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 up till now I have been running ARHD.
I decided to flash the new MinCo ROM, everything went smooth, I did a Nandroid backup and used Superwipe Light.
Then flashed the ROM via CW, the phone booted fine and I restored my apps and I thought everything was fine till I checked the system information. There it says I am running 4.1 and no mention of MinCo ??? It shows Francos Kernel though
Did I just out myself as a noob or what went wrong ?
Help is much appreciated
PS. Love XDA :fingers-crossed:
I just looked at the build.prop file of my minco download and it shows 4.1.1. in the ro.build.version.release which would dictate what shows up under version. Maybe you downloaded a different rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I downloaded the ROM from the official source.
Here are my steps.
1. Downloaded ROM, Gapps
2. Backed up the phone using CW
3. Wiped the phone using Super Wipe Lite Nexus
4. Flashed ROM using CW
5. Flashed Gapps using CW
6. Rebooted the phone
7. Restored Apps via Titanium Backup
Should I have done a full wipe? I didn't want to loose all my stuff.
Thanks for the help by the way.
Whenever you are flashing a new base you want to do a full wipe. I'm not sure what happened with your download and why it says 4.1 instead of 4.1.1. Probably not worth losing sleep over though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Ok seems like I have to wipe the whole thing then.
Will post the results later.
Thanks.
So I did a full wipe and flashed the ROM again. This time the System UI kept crashing.
This kept happening over and over again. I wiped and re installed 4-5 times with the same result.
Then I downloaded the the ROM and the bootloader again and flashed it again. This time it worked and it stopped crashing.
The ROM then showed 4.1.1.
I then flashed Gapps and MinCo+ Stock Mod and after reboot it was showing Android 4.1 again!
I really have no idea what is going on ???

Need help with CM10 install

Ok so it's been a while since I've done any new ROMs or anything, mainly did things on my GS2 but now going with the GS3 and have been for a little bit now. It's all rooted and everything fine, but I decided to finally install the CM10 ROM and am having a difficult time. I finally got it to install and boot up (had a slight issue with the boot loop which I got passed) but now my home screen says Sprint on the bottom. Maybe I downloaded the wrong CM10 zip? Or maybe they're all like this but I didn't think it was. On to the bigger problem, no mobile connection. I'm able to restore to my backed up status so that's what I'm going with for now but I'd really like to get this working. Any suggestions? Have I supplied enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks to anyone that can give me some direction here.
You flashed the wrong zip.
for AT&T you need d2att http://get.cm/?device=d2att
If you need a different carrier then ATT try checking the CM10 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270

yeah it should if not go back to complete stock and try again.
If none of that works check in settings, about phone and make sure your imei number is still intact (not showing zeros).
Ok so my IMEI is still intact but that zip for AT&T didn't work, I got an error. I cleared cache and user data and chose it from my internal memory, not sure what the issue is except maybe my CWM is outdated? Wasn't sure if it'd be a problem but maybe that's it. Any other suggestions?

Might be an APN issue. Try adding the APN for your carrier and see if your data works. What error are you getting when you try to flash the at&t version?

Ok so I figured it out and fixed it! All I had to do was update my CWM with ROM Manager like I thought I might have to do. I saw another thread with a similar issue, too so I guess this is somewhat common. Gotta update everything when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for all the responses though, I appreciate it.
Somehow I didn't see the replies telling me to update CWM before I.posted that I figured it out. Either way, I'm currently running it and all is awesome so far. If anyone has suggestions on specific things to do now?

Hi there, i've been having issues trying to install cm10 since last week and it's been frustrating. After doing hours of search I found a thread that says I should reinstall cwm recovery. I've tried doing this with rom manager from google play but it didn't work. It says, make sure you have stable internet connection and that your sd card is installed and working. Now, do have to Odin again to flash the newest clockworkmod recovery. If not how do I do then cuz I keep getting aborted and every time have to restart system and set it up all over. by the way my phone is a galaxy s3 i747 android 4.0.4 rooted cwm 5.5.0.4. thanks

If that's the case I'd probably completely go back to stock and root with the updated CWM. Kind of a pain but might be your best bet. Updating for me was the solution. Try that and let me know how it goes.

[Q] arc doesn't boot

Dear masters,
After 20 hours of reading and trying new things to me, I thought I finally knew what to do to get a custom ROM on my XPERIA Arc with stock 4.0.2.A.62 firmware. .62 seemed to be a pain in the ass, because this version doesn't want to get rooted. So I unlocked my bootloader and then flashed 4.0.2.A.42 on it. Everything on my phone was working fine.
Now I wanted to get a custom ICS ROM on my phone so I decided to go for Xperia Ice Cream Pureness V13. I downloaded the ROM and the patch for the arc and succesfully installed it with CWM recovery.
I did this by going into fastbootmode, flashed this kernel by doing "fastboot flash boot boot_ARC.img", because I needed a stock kernel, so I thought it would be better to get an advanced stock kernel. Then I did "fastboot boot recoveryARC.img" and my phone booted into CWM recovery. I had no errors whatsoever during the installation of the ROM and the patch. Using this recoveryARC.img file is my only way, because via the ROM manager app, I don't get into recovery.
When I tried to reboot, I just got another boot logo appearing, but just stays there and won't boot. See the image in the attachment.
So now I'm here with a not working phone and my noobyness.
Please help, thanks in advance,
Ruben
You say that you have installed advanced stock kernel.
Is it compatible with your ROM??
Edit...
Readed a little. Any stockbased kernel is suppoused to work.
Try with the latest stock kernel.
He says to let it be for a hour.
If anything wont help, revert to all stock.

Yea, so it's stockbased.
Anyways, I just kept on trying things and also tried a different ROM and now Jellybean Sandwich 7.3 just WORKS.
Still got no idea what caused the stuck booting screen.
To me, all these files, kernel, rom, flash, root, etc, etc complicates the whole thing and it doesn't make sense to me anymore what works with what etc... LOL. Anyways, it works now, thanks for caring

When I go to 'About Phone' now, I see the kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf / [email protected] #1.
Seems like this is the original kernel, so the kernel never flashed? Strange...
Everything works fine...
No longer booting
So i saw this thread and its relevant to me. Figured i would start here.
Using CWM i loaded Iced bean ROM to my phone.. in my excitement i forgot to flash the arcknight kernal.. Now my phone simply boots to Sony Ericcson boot screen. No further..
on top of that i cannot seem to load into fastboot. When i try the steps from this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087 i cant get my fastboot to work.. no blue LED.
Have i ruined my phone?
I don't know it will work or not,but man, you can try ...
1: Using flash tool, put your Arc into Fastboot mode.
2: reflash boot_ARC.img
3: try some roms such as Ultimate HD 2.0 (recommended) , Jelly SandWich......
i hope it will be useful for you.

My problem is i cant seem to get into fastboot mode. I followed the steps to unlock bootloader but i cant get into fastboot. never get the blue LED.
@OP
The problem is, you 'jumped' from GB to ICS straight away with cwm flash. When changing OS, be sure to flash the new OS ftf first, then flash the kernel, then flash the ROM thru cwm at last. It's good to know though that now your phone is working again.

[Q] Bootloops on every rom Note 2 GT-N7105

Hello!
I recently got a Note 2 (GT-N7105)
And for some silly reason wich even disappoints myself i wanted to overclock , well that didn't make sense i know but however i did it! and directly after i installed the required file (I don't remember wich one but it was for 1.8Ghz) after the installing my phone kept showing the boot logo , i tried to use my backup but even after restoring it didnt boot! I cleaned everything wich also cleaned my backup...
I been on it for about 7 hours now trying different roms , kernels , and every file i could find but nothing helps.
I now installed Cyanogenmod using CMW but even that bootloops.
The last thing i could notice is CMW showing me a E: failed to Mount /efs (Invalid argument) Wich makes me worry even more...
I honestly hope there are some good peaple who could help me with this... Finally got a great phone and by stupid mistakes i made it won't work anymore..
I don't care what rom gets on it , Even if its a hello kitty rom u won't hear me complain , If the phone works again i'll be happy!
Not sure if this helps but its a GT-N7105 , i know it had the newest android there was (4. something, i think it was 4.3)
Odin does see the device , My CMW (6.0.4.1) works and Download Mode works.
I hope anybody can help me!
In case you want to help me live wich would be awesome my skype is : chrishendriks92
If it gets fixed i will Offcourse place the solution here.
(The note is not a new one , its used and a few months old , worked 100% before my stupid decisions bricked it)
(so here's a small version)
-Every rom i tried will bootloop , It shows a different boot video/logo everytime tho
-It all happened after i tried a 2.8Ghz Overclock
-i get a EFS error in CMW
-Accidentily i deleted my backup but i don't mind whatever rom gets on it
-Download mode and CMW (6.0.4.1) works

Ok, so what I would do.
I would wipe data through CWM.
Download official ROM from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
I hope this will help to get the phone booted.
After that we will worry about imei recovery.

You installed a kernel right? To over clock? First flash new bootloader, then flash stock kernel, then again flash stock rom, do not let the device boot up before you have done all three.
