Great kernel! Works well. Thanks
working good. Thank you
BTW, i think that u are not able to connect your phones to PC anymore
that's an uncurable bug, and i dunno how to solve it forever. but, there is a temporary fix.
flash my kernel, boot up to homescreen. than flash STOCK kernel, boot up to homescreen again. finally, flash my kernel again and you'll be able to connect it again, probably. test this and report, please
add this to the first post plz

Hey Guys, Just thought I would put together everything in one thread for everyone so you guys can get everything available for ICS beta atm, Most of this is thanks to DoomLord!
Firstly, To have CWM Recovery, Hotboot any kernel. I will explain
1. Download a kernel e.g Doomkernel v19 and hotboot via fast boot
Type in Fastboot boot boot.img
Then boot while repeatly pressing back button/volume rockets to enter recovery.
This will not flash this kernel only boot it so nothing else required
2. Then get into recovery by pressing volume rockers and flash whatever you need, after this reboot your device and thats it
Well it does require you to have PC access everytime you want recovery but it will have to do for now
OR for easier way simply install this CWM installer made by pvyparts which works fine with ics beta rom and don't need PC for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
It could cause issues as this CWM isn't made for this but no issues have been reported as of now.
To Get faceunclock and google apps such as market, gmail:
1. Go to FXP Cm9 thread and download their latest gapps and flash via recovery( use method above for recovery)
To get ROOT access:
1.Flash the superuser fix via recovery ( access recovery via method above)
2. Go to the market and download busybox by Stephen Sterricson and then select any version of busybox and install it. NOW YOU HAVE ROOT
Thanks to Binary, We have WIFI And Bluetooth now too. Go into build.prop via Root explorer, OI file manager (free) or other file explorers:
add these lines into system/build.prop
persist.wifienabled=1
persist.btenabled=1
OR flash the package by Doomlord via recovery ( use method above). Much easier
Now we have everything that is needed Thanks to Binary and Doomlord once more.
Thanks alot .... All what is left for now is the Wifi fix .... doom said bin4ry has a build.prop fix or something anybody found it?
you are so quick mate
have you try using doom on screen button enabler??
I have wifi and root
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Thanks guys, and ill try and find the wifi thing. If i do ill update the thread
How did you get wifi working mate :O Please share
You can just hot boot doomkernel after installing se boot.img by
Fastboot boot boot.img
Once u restart from recovery it will revert to the original kernel
Sent from here to there.
Thanks updated OP
Hi guys,
I think Bin4ry's fix was that there's a line in build.prop called persist.wifienabled which needs to be set to 1 (true).
I'm backing up my ROM and then I'll try it on my arc, see if it works.
Cheers
EDIT: it works perfectly ;-)
Better flash a package to enabled wifi and bt.
In just 30 mins i got too much pn's about how to edit the file oO ....

this may help?

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

don't know, haven't tried, but fastboot is really simple and fast, and you'll have to set it up to unlock bootloader anyway.

your phone is there
-fastboot flash boot .. or what you need
-fastboot reboot
and you'll have to use it only few times, after you install cm10 first time, back to normal routine

[ info ]
--------------------------[ UPDATE ]---------------------------------
This is now DEPRECATED as we can read reboot code from kernel cmdline during bootup, and this has been integrated in most recoveries.
--------------------------[ UPDATE ]---------------------------------
As most of you would know that the reboot-into-recovery is broken in our Xperia devices as we dont have a dedicated recovery partition... this is especially annoying as we cant directly use the Goo/ROM Manager functions without manually pressing the VOLUME keys at bootup..
well now I have developed a fix in the form of a reboot binary!!! this will now add compatibility with Goo/ROM Manager's Reboot into Recovery!!
just download the zip linked below and flash via any recovery...
It will work on both locked and unlocked bootloaders and on any kernel or ROM (stock or custom)...

It sure is possible to shrink an existing partition and add a new one, but that should never be done unless absolutely required, which isn't the case for us.
We do have extra partitions, such as FOTAKenrel, which are already used for recovery (CM supports this too, if you flash a compatible TWRP image to the FOTAKernel partition, that will be loaded instead of the recovery present in the boot partition).
It still just loads the ramdisk from the image present on the FOTAKernel partition, what would have been better is the bootloader directly loading another kernel (from another partition), if the reboot reason is recovery or a key is pressed while booting.
How it be on DoomKernel? It may reboot into CWM or TWRP? O_O
I don't know if it works with Goo manger to boot into TWRP O_O
Edit:Now I know that Rom manger is support TWRP now,so I don't know what recovery will Rom manger use because Doomkernel has both CWM and TWRP

Thank you
I decided to flash CM10.1 the newest stable v.
That is what i do:
1Root the phone [latest official firmware updated via update center]
2Installing CWM
3Going in recovery and make factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
4Flashing CM zip
5Flashing Gaps zip
6Pressing "reboot now"
And then the phone goes off and that is all. If i hold the power button for ~3sec it vibrate and nothing more. No booting img no error sign no nothing. Cant go in recovery too.
Does anyone have a solution?
I tried it around 5-6 times - black screen all of them.
