Bootloader: UNLOCKED!
Kernel: DooMKernel [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS]{Rel:v05}[Dt:14/Sept]
(overclocked version)
Only thing is, I am facing some superuser issues at the moment,
that I have reasons to believe they are kernel related.
Read this and report to DoomLord if you are having the same problems.
Thanks!

hahahaha, quite funny, it seems that only the half of the doomkernel v05 for unlocked bl users have unlocked their bl^^

Unlocked bootloader with my gingerscape ROM
sent from my Android powered smart phone

I forgot to check "Unlocked bl", what's a "ck" ?
Doom v5 FS for Unlocked kernel.
Having wifi problems, module is loaded (through xRec).
Wifi is connecting, scanning, connecting, scanning....
I can make it connect if I "forget network", turn of wifi, turn on wifi and reconnect to my network (having to issue the password again).
It's been like this since 2.3 came to Xperia X10.
SE 2.3.3 Stock has the same problem too, as do WB V5.

X-play custom rom

Hi I'm new to the custom rom's and instead of searching through countless topics, mixing up instructions. I was wondering if I could get some directions.
Play is unrooted 2.3.3. I would like instructions on how to put a custom rom on the phone, and which custom rom would be recommended. Thanks in advance people.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium

is your phone fastboot enabled? (does the notification light in the power button turn blue if you hold the search button and then connect the usb to computer?)

If you want a custom rom but dont want to search and read these forums, i give your phone a week before you brick it.

or we could help people within the comunity to understand what's out there, the risks involved and how to get around the problems that could arise? we all need things explaining to us once in a while.

Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.

lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out

Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.
1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.
2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.
3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.
As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.

my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.

Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?
Again I'm currently running 2.3.3 nonrooted. Had it rooted on 2. 3. 2. but ofcourse lost it with update.

Bump, has anyone been able to get Cyanogen mod onto the Rogers r800a? This locked boot loader is really causing me grief. Have the phone rooted, cwr is installed as well as busy Box. Getting closer, but still no cigar.

You won't brick it, if kernel is incompatible device with either not boot, or bootloop, flahing stock rom with flashtool will fix it though.

New owner of an Xperia Arc, previously a HTC Desire user

Hey guys,
I have very recently become the owner of an Xperia Arc obtaining the device as a replacement through my o2 insurance policy for my previous HTC Desire which suffered liquid damage
At present I am relatively happy with my Arc stock however I would love to hear from other users who have flashed roms on their Arc and hear if it is really all that beneficial.
With my old Desire it was a must thing to root it etc because I was stuck running only Froyo and suffered from low internal memory storage.
I look forward to hearing some feedback from you other Arc owners out there!
Regards, DJM.

Hi,
welcome to the club
For me, I really like SE UI, and it looks very stylish, at least for me.
I got only root,and I don't want to unlock BL since it's not needed for me. Now waiting for OTA, to still remain rooted.
And keep it updated new firmware rolled out

Yeah I love the SE UI, I don't have a lot of interest in flashing MIUI. Tried it before on my HTC Desire and it just wasn't for me! If I was to unlock my bootloader it would be to flash tweaked roms which are SE based.
What do you get out of rooting the Arc? The usual overclocking etc?

No chance to overclock as kernel doesnt support it. just underclock and change governors. I am also just rooted with a locked bootloader. However im waiting to receive the new firmware update as I am o2 uk firmware. I am wary of unlocking the bootloader as of the 0% battery issue which has scared me to be honest

He needs to unlock the bl and then he can flash kernels with oc up to 2GHz.

What benefits has rooting your device given you?
I assume you are referring to the 2.3.4 firmware update? I'm really excited at the prospect of getting Ice Cream Sandwich which has been announced to be coming to the Arc

I am also still running the .369 firmware, looking forward to getting the new version!
I rooted my Arc last night and removed the bloatware apps, noticed a small difference in performance but nothing major which I'm sure is expected.
P.S. I totally stole your signature's Xperia Arc image and used it in mine to replace my old HTC Desire one
**Edit** 2.3.4 just became available to me via Companion! (4.0.2.A.042)

Presume you rooted using the new zurg method?.. if you want to over clock at any point then you will need to unlock the Bootloader to do it.. the 0% battery issue only came about through people trying to flash old SE ROMs, root with gingerbreak, then OTA upgrade to the latest version...
NOTHING to do with bootloader unlocking.. and actually not a problem now that we have the new Zergrush root method. HERE

No, dude it is outdated. We need to upgrade our kernel for better performance. But this will be helpful for those who can't open their bootloaders so yeah useful for some people.

101% yes!!!Because i dont want to unlock again my bootloader because now i know the risk...

i don't use stock kernel but i voted yes for stock kernel, because here have much people that can not unlock bootloader, then people, vote yes please for stock kernel because these people thus can use this rom in their phones..FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

yes plss
I tried to unlock my bootloader once and it just end with a hardbrick and it takes 1month for the se service center to repair my unit

reason
Reason is simple. I had a simlock. For now there is no safe way to unlock bootloader and the simlock NOT to come back.
Cheers,

yea i want it on stock kernel i have unlocked my bootloader but i want it for those who cant its the best rom ever and i want it for my other brothers as well

I want more ROMs on stock kernel.
11w48 I bought my x8 almost 2 months ago and the first thing I tried was to update it. Then I realised that my phone will never get past 2.1 ,so I read that I can manually install 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. And a week later my phone was running gingerdx. But I wanted something more, I wanted a custom kernel and I was very disappointed to read that I can't unlock my bootloader. I check the development section about 10 times a day and Im very happy when I see a new ROM or a ROM that gets updated. But most of them are for alfs or nAa and I feel like noone cares about the people who can't unlock their bootloaders. I voted YES. Thank you.

I guess the development of this rom will released till xmas if we wait the 100voters because not all is participate...

As of now 42 have voted with 31 for and 11 against. Guys please don't vote against there are lot of your brothers who can't unlock their bootloader..please please vote infavour.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

YES please
Well as said before, many of us cant unlock bootloader and there are few roms to pick from that are updated for us. I would really like to try this ROM. And would like to see other ROMs updated as well. We all want the same thing. A smooth, good looking rom that is up to date with the best modules, speed mods, and completely works. I have found a couple. but most you gotta enable, and update modules. Some dont even have any modules, so you got to use root explorer to install them yourself. Thank You for asking this question. Hopefully it will get more attention to itself and other roms that wed like to see on stock kernel. Oh and a bunch of yes votes.

Yes we need more Rom's for stock kernel as I don't want to unlock bootloader. My x8 11w01 so should be fine to unlock. I hope for ics on stock kernel but this is not looking promising.

Locked bootloader. No custom kernel. You can flash custom governors though. Most DX will overclock to 1300-1400 range. Mine maxes out at 1350 without reboots.
