So,Now it means my fone is fully rooted right..??(Correct me if i'm wrong )
So,Now all i want to know the easiest and safest Way To Install CM7(stable) if possible then please provide the link thnxx in advance
Help me

Yes its rooted, but, to install Custom ROMs, you will need to install a Custom Recovery (ie Clockworkmod).
There are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Fastboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I have only used the Fastboot method so far, so if you need further assistance, just ask.
BTW, Both the above methods need S-OFF using AlphaRev X. If you are not having S-OFF, then simply use Unrevoked to install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Recovery install is complete, follow this post to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7:

@xeno
Heyy thanx for replying "3xeno"
Just few minutes ago i installed titanium backup when this app starts
it's showing Root access : FAILED
And a msg popped up : "Sorry,i could not acquire root privileges - This Application will "not" work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox,and try again
Please Help me what the hell is happening ??

Got Superuser App in your App Drawer? Also, what exactly did you do to root your device? Did you use AlphaRev X or use Unrevoked?

Yup I got superuser automatically in app drawer and i used alpharev X

Weird, Then try installing Busybox from within Titanium Backup. (Press Menu Key, then Press "Problems", It''ll download Busybox).
Also, can you explain what all procedures you followed after getting S-OFF using AlphaRev X?

and bro one thing more
One minute ago i installed SHootme app and this app also asked me for superuser priveleges I allowed it and it worked...shootme app is working i don't know y titanium app is sayin like that ??

And yaa The method u posted in ur 1st post i hve already done that...i hve installed it via PC49IMG

Okay, well since you've got recovery you are now able to install custom ROM's.
Download the one you want (Cyanogenmod gives good performance),
put on your sdcard,
boot recovery (turn off, hold volume down and press power, use volume down to navigate to recovery, press power).
Backup stock ROM from backup & restore.
Wipe dalvic cache in advanced menu, wipe boot, data, system, cache in mounts and storage.
Then install zip from sdcard. Voila.

Okey Thnx bortak but y that titanium app is not able to get priveleges from superuser
and how come other rooted app like shootme is working this app also asked for priveleges from superuser and i allowed and it worked..??
And Is there any risk in installing CM7 ??

Titanium backup not giving you root previlages whereas other app gave. There is a possibility that you accidentally denied the "root permission" of titanium backup when you opened it for 1st time. As it will be in a remembered state it might be the issue. Open "superuser" from app drawer and check the root permission status of titanium backup. Another suggestion is to update the Su binary from superuser app. Then download busybox installer from market and install busybox from that. Then open titanium backup.
There is absolutely no risk in installing cm7. But do make nandroid backup of your current rom so that you can revert back anytime if you don't like it.

CM7 is an AOSP ROM, so obviously there will not be Sense in that, which is the proprietary of HTC. Refer this thread for lists on ROMs:

You are not getting me. CM7 is an AOSP ROM. AOSP stands for the Android Open Source Project, and is intended to be the base where Google releases their Android Source Code (Android is an open source OS after all).
CM7 is based on that. Obviously, Sense is an HTC Product, and hence is not a part of AOSP. If you want Sense, you will have to get a Sense ROM. Sense will NOT work on ANY AOSP ROM. I hope this is clear to you.
Again, refer the ROM list I gave you the link to in the previous post, I have segregated it based on whether a ROM is based on Sense or based on AOSP.
If you want Sense, you cannot use CM7.
For your 2nd query, yes, installing process is as you have described. However, make sure you perform a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod before installing a new ROM to prevent issues.

Ok Sir I got You Thanx For Ur Help

If you are on CM7, you will need to flash an additional GApps Package (Google Apps), which will give you Android Market. You can download it here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Look for
gapps-gb-20110613.zip or
gapps-gb-20110307.zip
Flashing procedure remains the same. Place file on your SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above zip.

[Q] Rom Manager and CWM

Hi, I have my phone unlocked via htcdev. I installed CWM by alquez, but it doesn't detect it in ROM Manager. I have tried going into recovery from rom manager, then rebooting from cwm, still nothing works. Only rebbot to recovery works in rom manager. Any solutions?

The CWM from Alquez is unofficial not supported by rom manager dev i think. The same thing was with samsung galaxy ace , don't flash recovery from manager you can get brick...

1/ Download and put the CM7.2 nightly zip from Alquez on your SD card root.
2/ Go into CWM Recovery
3/ Wipe Data/Factory reset
4/ Wipe Dalvik
5/ Format System from Mounts
6/ Install Zip from SD and choose CM72 Nightly ZIP
7/ Install Zip from SD and choose CM7x GAPPS
8/ When done reboot to your clean CM7.2 install

So, for now, we can delete Rom Manager then?

It's non sense ROM.
I didn't like it too, so I just flashed sense rom.
Anyway, you can install any launcher you like, and use it as default one.
About google account.
That ROM doesn't have anything to do with google's apps, so you'll have to install gapps.
Find it somewhere, latest version is from 28.8.2011 I think.
It's .zip file, just flash it through recovery.

Can anybody help with CWM7 ?
I've tried to load this onto my phone but I keep failing. The app does not load. I cannot access any recovery, albeit standard or CWM. Everytime I try from the the bootloader screen and enter recovery, The phone gives me a Black Screen with a Picture and a Red Triangle in the middle and nothing else happens. I then have to reboot the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something.
Is there a step by step guide to help make this work for me.
I have searched for a couple of days now and I cannot find anything that for me.
My phone is S-ON and Bootloader Unlocked via HTC-Devs.
Any help from you experts out there will be appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.

Is factory reset and hard reset are the same?

5. reboot
6. connect phone to pc
7. backup ur sd card
8. delete ur entire sd card (thats why u have to make the backup)
9. reboot into recovery
10. wipe all
11. search for 'partition sd card'
12. choose ur values that u want
13. reboot into system
14. connect to pc

[Q] Looking for help unlocking bootloader or putting a ROM on Xperia Play

I have searched high and low, used many programs and the extent of my vocabulary on google to try and find a solution.
I figured it would be a good idea to ask rather than lifelong searching.
I just recently bought the Xperia Play because I am somewhat an avid gamer and love this phone.
After a while it gets annoying to be able to put only 4 apps on my SD card and a message popping up saying internal memory full, with 20+ gigs left on the SD card, Knowing in later android updates, most apps are allowed on the SD card, as well as holding home and killing recent apps.
I am looking to ROM my phone or unlock the bootloader, whatever is best.
My bootloader is locked, running 2.3.4 firmware on a Canadian rogers (under virgin on unlocked carrier/sim) R800a
If there are anymore specs needed, I would be happy to provide.

The build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42 if this helps.

Rooting. 42 is easy. You can use zerg rush method or with superoneclick.
Then install links2sd from market, uninstall unused system apps and move your apps to sd.
If you don't care about warranty, you can unlock your bootloader, install kernel that have 600MB instead of deafault 380MB data partition and install any rom you like.

Kernel and clockwork recovery is in same file, so once you flash kernel, you have recovery too.
My advice, since you don't care about warranty, is to do next:
-Root your phone first (so you can make backup with titanium backup or mybackuproot)
-Backup your apps and data (calls, sms...)
-Unlock your bootloader
-Find some rom from developer forum
-enter flashtool in flashboot mode, flash .79firmware (no need to boot into that firmware, just power off when it's finished)
-enter flashtool in fastboot mode, flash kernel that mached your rom (i recommend lupus gb v12 if your downloaded rom is gb, lupus ics/gb v7 (stock or cm version) for ics/gb roms or lupus jb v8 480p for jb roms.
-Enter recovery (power on, then keep pressing volume down/up or back button) (for lupus kernel is volume down)
-Flash your rom with "install zip from sd card"
Remember, jb roms won't boot on ics kernel, so if you got bootloop, most probably your rom does not match flashed kernel. Look in rom desription what kernel is compatible with it.

Step 1: put ROM on SD

4: Wipe everything
5: Install ROM
I wouldn't say im in a boot loop but I can access recovery and it's not loading into the ROM
Would not installing, [Firmware] [GSM] R800i 4.0.2.A.0.58 or R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf have mattered?
Like the .79 firmware you mentioned, I did not do that.

Latest firmware only matters if you want bigger data partition (600MB vs 380MB stock)
Did you set type of rom in turbo kernel? As i recall, there is an option in recovery to choose wich type of rom you are installing. And since you want Aurora play, you should choose stock-GB (it's been a long time since i used turbo kernel, i can't recall where exactly that option is)

Ok, I found that option and set it to GB stock ROM on slot 1. Still nothing though.
It boots up says Sony Turbo and then goes blank. The LED/backlight of the phone is still on though.
Should I choose something else other than Turbo?
EDIT: There are 2 options to set as stock GB, set both as stock and booted up just fine.
Now running Aurora Play, Thanks for all your help!

There is no need to including md5, it is for checking purpose is your downloaded file is corrupted or not.

Thanks a ton for this! Worked awesome!
Since I went from stock 5.0.2 -> 5.1.1 ... I tried not wiping data and it seems everything still works fine! My apps, settings and data are all there =) ... so far w/o bugs.
I installed cyberian 7.1 camera(primary reason for my attempt at the upgrade) ... and seems to be working 100% w/o issue =)

An update, its still working amazingly bug free!!! (w/o data wipe)
Also, *I think* battery life has much improved ... but that may be because I wiped cache and also turned off Stamina mode after reading it sucks battery life rather than help it lol!
I did run into some battery level quirkiness within the first few days of install, but hoping it was just some learning curve the OS had to do w/ battery ... time will tell =)
I do have a question tho, just noticed you state the bootloader/recovery is "locked"? Does this overwrite my previous "unlocked" state and its relocked now? Or does an unlocked state persist? Thanks

No,this doesn't overwrite your unlocked bootloader. your unlocked state is persist.You can check by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* /Service info/Configuration/Rooting status:

Sad update, seems my phone has fallen victim to the "LP upgrade & damaged battery" coincidence =( ... I know its not a fault of ur ROM. Phone works fine from 100% to 50% then a 50% it rapidly drops to 1% and shuts off =/
That being said, ordered a replacement battery kit + back door + NFC tag. Hopefully normal battery functionality will be restored after its replaced =)
Seems to be a widespread problem =/ Its weird because I had LP 5.0.2 on it previously.

Battery replacement went well, back to full expected usage time!

Bro I have tried locked bootloader. But I think GenTarkin installed on unlocked bootloader successful. First you should flash stock.ftf and after go further as first post.

Dirty flash I love you dirty flash blahblahblah
Thanks for this, just what I needed without the hasle as Gen said I just flashed over the rom I was using (mx 8.5), wiped dalvik and that other thing but kept data and now my phones overheating has stopped, installed xposed and my tweaks reinstalled themselves... Because of the dirty flash some of the apps needed updating but apart from that its ask good... Nice one

Update Zip
Zip is updated with Xposed and SU 2.79

There is a problem with Facebook and Messenger app (normal, not lite versions). When my girlfriend is trying to run these apps the screen just is just blinking (black&white) every 0,5 of sec. and nothing else is happening. Reinstalling those apps does not solve the problem.
