Thanks for helping, But how can i choose a file in Flashtool ?
As i understand i can only choose the FTF file , And i chose the Xperia Play one.

OK, After a lot of searching i found out that i had my phone Bootloader Unlocked before flashing,
And after that i tried to flash it and i got the error and it wont boot.
From what i red i only have 2 things to do :
1- Get the phone booting but without radio.
2- give it to sony and tell them that it just crashed while i was updating it.(And don't tell them anything about to root or the bootloadr)
So please if anyone knows any better way to fix it please tell me.

You didnt need to unlock you bootloader to use flashtool, but now you have just flash a system.img from fastboot, your phone isnt bricked unless you tried to do an OTA updated with an unlocked bootloader

Try formatting /system and /boot first,
In fastboot type in
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
Then flash this kernel with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502
finally flash this system image with command "fastboot flash system xxxxxx.img"

Finally i got it to work !
I deleted the system with fastboot , Than i used this tool :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334 to re-lock the bootloader.
And finally i used the SE PC programme to repair the phone with the latest Update.

[Q] Doomlord for dummies

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but is there a dummies guide / video for installing Doomlord kernel onto my play? the full process i.e. how to unlock your bootloader, to the app and images you need to download, and then the process.
A nice youtube video would be great. TIA
neil

Am busy,but there are lots of videos on how to unlock your bootloader for xperias.I think it was by androidsoul community? If you type in Unlockbootloader for Play,you gonna get e-z results.
Whats your model too?Use the very same fastboot ,the one you used to unblock bootloader,to get DK3

Hi, I have unlocked my bootloader. there was a video on youtube using fastboot.
I have a r800I,
2.3.2
build 3.0.a.2.184
What next?

Alright.
Grab a flashtool 2.9.1 ,install gordons gate drivers 22 found in the flashtool Drivers Folder.
Grab this Firmware : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255095
you may get a bootloop if you dont wipe user data.
Flash it with the X10Flashtool.exe
Follow the instructions zactly.
Then use Fastboot to flash boot the DK3.img

HI, I have flashed back to Uk generic many times, so think I can do the first part.
I do not understand this bit sorry
Then use Fastboot to flash boot the DK3.img

Alright.
After you have the 4.0.A (2.3.3 ,not 2.3.2) you drag the DoomKernel3 img to fastboot folder,shift +rightclick and type this in
fastboot flash boot doomkernel3.img (or in your case its boot.img)

Ok, just so I have it straight.
donwload image. Flash the new image just like a did the old UK Generic. (i.e. using flash tool, then pressing back button connected to PC)
Do I let it boot normally? Or do I go straight to removing battery then boot up holding the Search key (blue light) and doing the flash boot command?
so many thanks for this

No you use a cmd window on your pc and 'cd' /to/the/path/of/fastboot or open your fastboot folder and in an empty space, ctrl+shift - open in cmd - then type the command issued 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You need to hold search button while connecting the usb, when the phone is off to get into fastboot mode. Done correctly the blue light should appear.

---- This is where I was asking if you let it boot normally first (i.e. like you would after Uk genric

Sorry my bad mate I misread your post (I need some sleep or glasses lol).
Yes you're right flash the UK generic with flashtool and then doomlords kernel with fastboot command. I'm not sure if you need to boot before you flash the kernel. I would boot just to be safe
Regards Dousan...

all working thanks guys. you the best. shame I just saw 2.3.4 guessing that wont work with doomlord kernel?
Man it boots quick hopefuly setcpu will make my ps1 games run better.
thanks again

DK4 soon will be availibile

Well, since you are unlocked, now you will need to download TWRP and put it in you fastboot folder (you need to know how to flash in a command prompt and have the files in the right place:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
after you put the recovery image in your fastboot folder, you type this in a command window (while in the right directory):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(recovery.img = "name of your recovery file.img")
Then you will have TWRP installed. From there, you can either use the toolkit and move files over to flash a Rom or use command prompt commands to move the files to your device memory or just flash the Rom using fastboot commands (it tells you how in the tutorial I linked to.)
The rest is easy. Surf in TWRP and flash away.

When you get used to using the commands and understand how they work it becomes really easy to do things you want.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button when someone helps you. It's really the only way people get "paid" for helping everyone out.

every version of "HuaweiUpdateExtractor" which i have found, did not work for me! Because the PLK-L01 is missing in the device selection setup! Please can you give me a link off a working Extractor?
BTW: isn’t it enaugh, to solve the above described problem to flash the ori. recovery with fastboot or adb?
i would try:
1.) connect the phone to pc
2.) open the communication to the phone using adb-tool v1.0 ore otherwise with the command "adb
devices"
3.) flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery.img"
4.) and than restarting the phone with "fastboot reboot recovery.img"
ore otherwise
4.) reboot the phone with pressing the 3 right key simultaneously longer than 5 sec. to restart flashing the update.app file.
is that way wrong? Please explain.

hey there, someone with better experience than me will surely help you out a lot better, but i can guarantee that the 0.9.9.3 release works
just leave "unknown (worstenbrood)" as profile, pick your update.app file, unpack it
personally i used the b121 rom, and flashed it on my phone with adb, more or less as you described, loading both recovery.img and system.img from update.app... "fastboot devices" > "fastboot flashrecovery recovery.img" > "fastboot flashsystem system.img".
this did the trick with me

at my first try i get only more than 25 nameless files! So i thought the procedure miss.
so my question now, how will they get there names? Than’ks for your reply.

Try to extract only these 2 files (system.img and recovery.img) separately.

For those who will kill their phones without backups:
1. you need to extract boot.mg (usually 10.boot.img) and system.mg (usually 14.system.img)
2. Somehow get into fast boot mode (from TWRP reboot>>reboot into boot loader
3. Connect the phone to the computer and (using platform-tools from Android SDK) from terminal:
fastboot flash boot 10.boot.img
fastboot flash system 14.system.img
fastboot reboot
The version of the ROM is of no importance

If you are truly in fastboot mode, with the green android dude (his name is Andy) and the white background then the command
fastboot devices

should return your device's serial number. Then you can go ahead and flash the 4 needed partions from the stock ROM with fastboot.
First of all, you need the 4 .img files for boot, recovery, cust and system.
You can get these as follows:
On this page you can find all ALE-L21 firmware. Find the latest. The latest FULL firmware for Europe region is C432B602 (Dual SIM) and C432B603 (Single SIM). Download the FULL version (not OTA) and use Huawei Update Extractor to extract boot, recovery, cust, and system as .img files
Open a command window in the folder with the files and rename them accodingly if you wish (e.g. 06.boot.img -> boot.img)
Then you can flash them in fastboot mode like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That last one may take a bit. Then you can do
