If you go through the thread, you'll find how different basebands have been used to provide different results in terms of 3G connectivity.

I thought I saw somewhere that someone used the -56 baseband and was able to get 3G and Wifi working perfectly?

Is it baseband -64 only now then?
[Xperia Play Android Development] holdlang:
i have baseband 56 but no 3g. only wifi
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
hi i have some problems to install CM 9.0

First i flash .64 sry 62

than flash i the kernel

Go in to recovery

Wipe all ( factory reset )

install CM 9.0 update....... zip

install GaPPs

Reboot

Free Xperia logo come and than stays the screen black and do nothing.

Can some one help me? thx
[Xperia Play Android Development] HearthC0re:
Boot once before installing gapps

Plus wait for the boot.. can boot for more than 10 minutes
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
You were right. Flashing the ICS 3G fix completely kills the GSM connection altogether.. No network at all now. :) ...Again ><
[Xperia Play Android Development] markphyton:
i have this make but always stays black the screen -.-

when i install not with gapps.zip its the same stock in black screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Spizzy01:
Do you have a CDMA device or GSM?

Sounds to me like its a dodgy install of CM9? I'd try re-downloading the package or something..
[Xperia Play Android Development] m2maddy:
Battery life on CM 7.2 is a lot lot better, overnight I had lot 13% for 9 hours on CM7.2 but on CM9 I lost 32%.

[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I believe you need 42 firmware and 64 baseband
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Anyone have a link to the FXP149 kernel? It appears FXP has removed it from their list of CM9 download links. I'd like to switch back to the FXP kernel from the Turbo kernel, see if it fixes the event5-xxx issue.

Edit - asking b/c I assume that the current kernel still doesn't boot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:

[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
There's probably a change in framework requiring a new patch.

Try it anyways, fxp says he's fixed it which may be hard when he devs for 12+ devices and doesn't have a xplay to test on. Or neo :p if I'm guessing correctly I think he has a 2012 xperia device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Yeah, no joy with the 208 kernel, same as before (vibrates to indicate power, but nothing after that). Can't seem to get the 149 kernel to enter into recovery either, no matter how fast I spam the volume keys. Grrr...

EDIT - And recoveryPLAY.img doesn't seem to want to boot now either...every time I execute fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img, it acts as it's going to boot, then after a while I start seeing the FXP logo and back to the loop (presumably b/c flashing the FXP kernel blew away my system). Blargh!

EDIT 2 - And all is seemingly well again after flashing the 2.3.4 FTF, then reflashing the 149 kernel. I could get into CWM after that, and flash FXP208.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mysticales:
So. Its been awhile since I updated last. Anything new here that's solid? Like is gta working on this rom updates yet lol. Vs being all sluggish and lagged up.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
All of that happened to me once. I thought i bricked my phone :laugh: . Probably like, you messed up with some kernels or weird ftf (like phoenix vendor)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
There's nothing "weird" about phoenix vendor FTF. It's identical to the latest stock GSM FTF, but also has vendor.sin from Neo L. Because Xperia Play R800i/a/at has no vendor partition formatted; all it does is format the "locked" vendor partition. And if you flash another "non phoenix vendor" FTF, it's still vendor unlocked. It only ever needs to be done once and has no effect on other kernels because Xperia Play does not use vendor partition.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Yeah, not really sure how I messed up. All I did was use fastboot to flash the 208/149 kernels over a Turbo Kernel beta. No joy till I flashed the 2.3.4 ftf, minus the trim area (didn't think it was wise to flash something called simlock.ta, ain't nobody got time to re-unlock). I knew I wasn't bricked, because the boot screen was still coming up. If I had to guess, I'm thinking that due to Turbo's different partition sizes, something wasn't playing nice. Looking back, until I flashed the ftf, I wasn't getting the LED indicator that it's time to spam the volume keys to get into CWM. After the ftf, the light was turning on, and all is well.

Either way, very glad we have flashtool to take us back to stock. I've been spoiled with the availability of stock images straight from Google for my Nexus 7.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Yes, flashed Turbo kernel too that time, but i guess with the wrong ftf or something like that. The re-flashed Lupus Kernel, other ftf, etc etc... lol well i guess if something goes wrong, last solution is flash a stock ftf right? That's what i learned.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Yup. When in doubt, ftf to stock. I've got an R800x, so unlocking the vendor partition isn't part of the process for me.

Now if we could only figure out why on the R800x that damned kernel wakelock for akmd8975 won't go away!

The kernel is not working! i flash the kernel but the play only display a black screen, and nothing happens..... :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
We know already, use kernel from fxp149
[Xperia Play Android Development] SpawnHyuuga:
That's strange. I was using the FXP209 kernel for CM10 for a shortwhile before I returned to Turbo Kernel. It worked just fine. Did they not apply the fixes to CM9?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:
flash 210 kernel !
[Xperia Play Android Development] jerpelea:

[Xperia Play Android Development] RoboticBuddy:
FXP210 and FXP209 doesn't seem to connect to the computer, nor recognizable from ADB.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
I know you've likely done this already, but are you sure debugging is enabled on the phone? I think everytime you flash, it goes back to disabled, as that's the default.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RamonVNL:
You aren't the only one, i have the same problem. fxp 210/209/208 have it.

EDIT: it isn't fixed
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
What kernel are you using? If it's Turbo Kernel, than that's your problem.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RamonVNL:
i am indeed using Turbo, let me try stock.

EDIT: tried 211 stock kernel got bootloops, is cm 9 having the same problem with kernels not working?

EDIT 2: i guess im blind ^^, didnt see the whole FLASH 210 KERNEL thing. trying that now.

EDIT 3: Nope 210 isn't working. -_- (still bootlooping)
[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
You cant run a rom on Turbo Kernel then just try to flash another ICS kernel. The Turbo Kernel has different partition sizes. You have to flash a new ftf, the best would be the Enhanced 58, then flash the Lupuc CM kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781677

After that, do a full wipe again and install CM9 in recovery.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RamonVNL:
Thank you . sounds pretty obvious actually, kinda stupid i didn't know that.

[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
what kernel i can use for CM9 FXP212 ? can i flash LupuS or DooM etc. ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
You can use lupus jb v8 but doom is for stock ics. Also there is turbo kernel or the kernel tgat comes with cm9
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
okay so i can extract the "boot.img" from cm and flash it in the flashtool ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
No you need to flash it with fastboot flashtool can only flash ftfs. Is yiur bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zzieluuu:
ohh..i mean flashtool in fastboot mode ;) yes i have ..

@edit: what firmware? .62_phoenixvendor or .58_Enhanced
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:

FXP213 released
[Xperia Play Android Development] andiemerchcomia:
Dumb question guys. If i had fxp 212 already installed using the fxp kernel, can i flash the fxp213 directly to update the rom via recovery?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ong14:
Yes.

No need to wipe anything.

But you can also flash FXP213 kernel before updating.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Well, wiping cache/dalvik cache is a good idea. But no, you don't have to wipe data.

Just checked out get.cm for zeusc. Is the 4/29 nightly essentially the 216 FXP release? Any word on the new stable build? I only ask b/c if we're EOL'ed and no longer getting updates, might as well grab latest directly from CM, rather than here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] konstruktor:
i'm kinda confused about the new nightly builds on the official cm page because fxp said end of life after 216 - or is just the kernel eol?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Finally got around to installing FXP216, and the event5-xxx issue still exists. EOL'd with a bug that prevents deep sleep. Guess there was nothing to be done to fix it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] konstruktor:
betterbatterystats reports me deep sleeping. is it a false report?

battery life isn't as good as gb but i thought it would be a general ics "feature"
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
If you're getting a report of deep sleep, that's great! It's not happening for me. My phone is never entering deep sleep, according to both CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats. Been installed for almost a full day now, only been off the charger for a little over 2 hours, attached is a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats. Event 5-135 still has a wakelock almost 100% of the time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] konstruktor:
well i searched a bit around. event(x) seem to be the parts of the device itself.

event5 in our play seems to be the accelelerometer that is going nuts. i found this post by cosmicdan, that could explain your problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37424903&postcount=931

he does not come up with a solution, just that it could be an app or the hardware itself that's causing your issue.

looks like it just happens to aosp based roms and for just a very few people.

if you like cm9 perhaps give krissdee's hybrid rom a try. it's really solid and stock based.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Oh, I know, I remember having the discussion w/ CosmicDan et. al. months ago. I doubt it's an app, as it happens right after wiping everything and installing FXP's ROM. I guess it could be hardware, but others were having the same issue. I was just hoping the last kernel updates solved it. NBD, we're EOL'ed, and I have to accept the fact that my dream phone is old and outdated and a replacement is not in Sony's pipeline, and it's time to pick one of the Google Edition devices :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
Unfortunately I have to agree in last part of your reply. I already tempted in buying Nexus 4, but I will get Nexus 5 or Motor X or whatever the next Google phone will be for sure. For me, 2013 will be the Last year with Xperia Play, maybe even sooner, October or November...

Btw.. did this rom ever get the update that would make GTA 3 play right? I mean seems I couldnt play this unless I was on a OTA based rom without it freezing, Not to mention that odd analog stick glitch of not always working on games.

[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I so hope your wrong Dean. First time I thought that :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
There is no "SE Way" for ICS.

To be honest here, if it works the same as CM7, then it won't be fixed, as it probably can't be. We implemented it right, and so if it does not work as intended, it is not exactly the fault of FreeXperia.

SEMC has another touchpad method in their framework, which is a "lazy way" that some developers use. If developers were not so lazy and implemented the controls the same way as mojang did for minecraft, then it would work.

This is my first time installing a custom rom.

1- My baseband version is 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-64

And build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62

Do I still need to download this ?

2- I have a lot of games data and I don't want to lost them, What shall I do before installing the ROM and how ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] m2maddy:
1. You don't need to update the baseband as you already have it

2. AFAIK games might not work especially if they rely on touchpads / gamepads

But you can either do a Nandroid backup or a backup apps+data from Titanium backup and you can restore after flashing the firmware

Backup your contacts, call logs .. as they will be lost.

Make sure before flashing firmware to flash kernel, then wipe data and cache.
