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

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.

hi there
before you tell me its in the wrong section i can't post in the development section yet, i'm a new member.
so basically, heres how it is: i have an xperia play r800i(unlocked UK version) which in october i flashed free xperia kernel onto and cyanogenmod 9.1. i have now decided that i want xdark 4.0.3 on it because the wifi stopped working on cyanogenmod and it has no support for touchpads. however, i dont know if it is as simple as just going into CWM and flashing the .zip from there.
can i do that? or do i need to flash something like doomkernel? and can i flash that the same way i flashed FXP?
i am quite a noob when it comes to this, so any help is appreciated.
it is rooted and the bootloader was unlocked the official way.
thanks
Back up everything with Titanium or something similar. Then place the XDark zip file onto the root of the SD card.
Then, with Flashtool:
1) Flash R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897
2) Flash LuPus ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804003
Once that's done, boot the phone and enter recovery (pressing back when LuPuS flash screen appears and phone vibrates), clear the cache and dalvik cache partitions, then install the XDark ROM. When that's all done, reboot and all should be done.
XDark seems to be suspended for now though, might be better to go for something that's still currently being supported?
thank you for your swift response, i will be doing that later.
Do both a titanium back up and a nandroid just to be safe also do the normal whipes

I have just successfully rooted my Xperia Arc and installed CWM recovery.
I was about to flash a new ROM so before that I factory reset (nothing went wrong) and format my sd card (it went wrong here)
At the Recovery, under mount and storage, i formatted everything, including the system :crying:
I thought it was something on the sd card, not the operating system :crying:
Now when I try to boot up the phone it just stuck at Sony logo
I have come so far just to screw it all up at the last step
Is there any where to install back the OS

Hi Just dowload any room from here put the sd car and install from the cwm .or try to recover from sony pc companion just do repair
Hi thanks for the quick reply
Hmm all my phone can do is stuck at Sony logo, nothing else
It is that bad, and for your info
It can't go into Recovery
My PC / Sony PC Companion is not able to detect it
Flash tool still can detect that it is connected
and by any ROM u mean custom ROM?
I have Speed ROM 8.0, not installed on my phone yet though
If I just install custom ROM I can get my phone back to life?
But first, I don't think I can install custom ROM / do anything when I can't do things I mentioned above
Download stock ICS and flash it using flashtool.
Thanks for the reply
Ok I will try that.
But how to flash a ROM using flash tool? It is possible? I have only used flash tool for firmware.
And all I can google is about how to flash a ROM using ROM Manager or Recovery.
Do you have link to any tutorial about this?
Edit:
Opps I found something about that.
Another question, is it ok to use any version of stock ICS?
I found Dovahkiin 1.2. Is it ok?
Or is Speed ROM 8.0 ok?

First you will need a stock rom,than root,cwm and than you can start with custom roms...
Flashtool works only with .ftf files as i know,so first download ICS Stock .587...

Guys i really need help, I'm using an xperia play and i had just unlocked the bootloader and then flashed a the trueancestors ics rom and the LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full kernel. Now it turns out that i didnt like the rom so i put it back to stock, still with the lupus kernel. Everything was working however i wanted to have the doomkernel v14. So i flashed the doomkernel and it was working however the wifi had erroros so i changed back to the lupus kernel. Again everything was working fine now. I then found out how to fix the wifi problem on doomkernelv14 so refrlashed that kernel. Before i reflashed the kernel i deleted the trueancestors isc rom as i didnt like it so i thought it would be ok. After the flash i tried to reboot the device, and it was stuck on the bootloader for doomkernel, not in a bootloop just stuck at doomkernel bootloader. I tried to fix this by going to recovery (clockwork mod) and then did a factory reset, wiped the cache and data and the dalvik cache as i saw these online for instructions on how to fix this problem. Still i had the same problem, stuck at bootloader. So i tried somthing different and reinstalled the trueancestors ics rom, and tried to reboot the xperia play, again stuck at bootloader. Im sorry if this was a bit long but I AM LITTRALLY BEGGING FOR SOME HELP! Please make a suggestion as to how i can fix this ASAP. Can it be fixed?Thank you for you Advice it is very much aprecciated.

When switching kernels with different partition layout you have to delete data and system partition in fastboot mode.
I'm lazy to type again so here is a link where it is explained already:

I havent tried this yet,becuase i need my dad to allow flash tool to work (Parental controls ffs -.-") however i saw the thread and i saw this part saying enter these commands "fastboot erase userdata and fastboot erase system i undestand how to get the command thing open but how do u enter these in, and what i mean is do you just open the command thing and just paste these in or do u have to right click somthing open comand promt here and all the stuff then enter them? Also these steps u listed, everything is fine its just my lack off knowladge for some of these things which i do apologize for
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
3.erase system and data from fastboot
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Where do you get the unlocked vender partition, and which one is better .62 or .79 and if u could send me a link as your helping me i think ur choice of links for this is more reliable than mine, and again this is greatly appreciated.
" Fully working steps, that is 100% working:
1.flash ftf with unlocked vendor partition (.62 or .79)
2.flash lupus gb kernel
Download file name R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post have firmware files
Guide how to use flashtool you can find at [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
Flashing .79 or .62 firmware is necessary if you are planning to use lupus gb or icd/gb kernel - and you only need to do it once.
Flashing kernel is same, but when pressed on lighting icon, choose "fastboot"
3.erase system and data from fastboot
Ok, i made a zip for you. Download it from attachment, unpack to anywhere you like and double-click file named "start". Power off phone, press search and while keeping it pressed, plug in usb. I don't think you need admin rights for that, but:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROM PLACED ON YOUR SD CARD! Just in case, because that program will erase everything from your phone.
You should be able to enter recovery and/or flash your rom/restore your backup.
4.enter recovery and flash your rom "
Also, read some sticky threads, they are there for a reason
Again im really sorry to bother you with this, but what if i dont want to flash the rom, becuase i didnt like it in the first place so i went back to stock, however this method of returning to stock was to flash the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf file. Now what it did was return it to stock rom (AFTER i tried the rom i didnt like) and unrooted the phone, i dont know if it returns the phone to stock firmware, and if the method of the system data wipe thing with the command prompt deleted everything, what can i flash? Little more explaination as to why im asking. Before this boot stuck thing hapenned i had used that same ftf file to return it to stock and unrooted. I re-rooted the phone and then flashed the lupus kernel. Everything was fine. I wanted to flash the doomkernel because like a dum nut i wanted to show off that i could overclock to 2ghz ( if i wanted to) as if alrdy stated before and did so. I think you can only flash zip files from your SD card so the ftf file wont be able to be flashed while on the device. So what do i flash? Should i just flash the rom i dont like and try return it to stock, then flash the ftf .79 firmware again after re-rooting the phone, then flash the doomkernelv14. In short i want to stay with the normal gingerbread 2.3.4 with doomkernelv14. Again i havent tried this yet and also sorry for these long rambly posts, i just want to give you as much info as possible in order for you to help me. Thank you so much for your solution btw much appriciated.:good:
And almost forgot i also want it back to rooted but i can do that myself, i just thought i'd specifiy it just incase its worth anything.

Yes, if you wipe data and system then EVERYTHING is deleted. All your apps (data) and even android OS itself (system). You'll have to either flash new rom or restore backup after wiping system
Doomkernel need wifi modules to be installed from CWM recovery to have working wifi
I'll attach it
Im wondering about my battery life, because it seems to be draining faster. Im using no frills cpu with the lupus kernel alowing me to overclock to 1.6 ghz. I set my higest on 1613 mhz and lowest on 249mhz using the smartassv2 governer. any idea to whats going on ?
ok...i screw up my xperia play... dunno what to do.
hi guys, been a noob after i fed up with my xperia x8 now i having a xperia play f or 2 years and try to install a custom kernel and roms but i end up brick my phone. it just stuck at logo "xperia free play". it still can enter cwm recovery mode but when i use the method press the arrow thing then plug in the usb cable to pc , it seems my pc did detect my phone but cant show up my memory card in 'my computer' window. The i try to use fastboot & flashtool both can detect my phone after plug in. Here is what i do before brick:
first thing i did on my phone was to upgrade the stock kernel 4.0.2.a.0.42, then i unlock the bootloader, root it, and start download the custom rom without download the requirement kernel. after that, i install CWM using fast boot, put the custom rom to sd card, wipe user data, bla bla bla, then install the custom rom, the next thing i see is the problem i talking about earlier. So i try to using the service update from SCE but it just say im using a modified kernel hence i unable recover it using that method. so, i try to use flash tool x10 (i cant get any working download it keep saying error 404 link, this is the best i have now) when i press the flash it come out red words with error usb ...the thing is my phone cant get detected by my computer.... What to do or it is over? (p/s : i download the flash tool & adb package winrar file & the custom rom i mention is close 2 perfection)
I know is a bit long but I really need help on my phone, i still have a x8 here from my mom and mine is xperia play brick for 3 days now i still cant find a way to solve it. PLEASE HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP. THANK YOU FOR THOSE RESPONSE~!

Man i was doing so well before, but im now stuck in a bootloop. I cant enter the recovery menu as the phone just keeps bootlooping. Also with lupus kernel the menu doesnt come up. I just erased the user data and system with ur zip from before and flashed aurora play with lupus v12.5 kernel It worked like everything else. i got more curious so i did the same thing erased user and system data then flashed gin2jellybean with the same kernel.( i followed ur intructions from before on how to flash roms n stuff) Everything worked again. I wanted a new kernel so i flashed extreme kernel r3. phone got stuck in a bootloop. So i erased user data and system data, then flashed and ftf stock rom and then flashed extreme kernel r3. everything was working. I went into titanium backup and uninstalled some system apps and accidently deleted the one that let you see the running services to see available ram. So i cleared data and and system data reflashed ftf stock rom in flashmode ofc, and extreme kernel in fastboot. I got a bootloop, so i tried all the different kernels that i could and i cant get into the menu for recovery. Can you please help me once again, i'll thank every post.

For most part, you are doing it right, but, to solve problem with recovery, you should use "eraser" AFTER you change kernel

Naturaly, it will drain more battery BECAUSE it's overclocked.

I think you should repeat the fastboot process once again, so:
fastboot erase userdata
and fastboot erase system
then just flash the kernel you prefer.
I had exactly the same problem with my play bootlooping after flashing some kernels. and this solved the problem for me :victory:
sorry for my bad English, :crying:
