Cause of I read it from many users, that they get WLODs anymore on the newest Cm7 release from J and I haven't problems, I'll share a list with steps to install it, with that it worked for me perfectly.
If you have a working Recovery you can start directly with step 6
1. Flash with Flashtool a stock firmware
2. Boot up into stock
3. Activate usb debugging
4. Root it (connect phone with activated debugging mode and press in flashtoll root)
5. Install FreeXperiaRecovery (connect phone again, click "ask root permissions" and then click on xrecovery button)
6. Download the Cm7 rom form here, and the two files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073859
7. Copying all files needed for flashing the rom on your sdcard: Cm7 rom and the Screen off fix
8. Reboot and check if you can enter Recovery
9. If not, start at the point where you install it via Flashtool
10. If yes, take out the battery and wait ~15-30 sec.
11. Now put your battery in again and flash the .ftf bundle from the thread i linked above
12. If it flashed succesfully reboot and enter Recovery. Make ALL available wipes (full wipe, wipe cache, wipe system, wipe battery stats, wipe dalvik cache. I think that are all, right?) Now DON'T reboot before you made the next step, cause you have to start from zero if you reboot before making the next step
13. Flash the Cm7 rom
14. Flash the screen off fix
15. Reboot and wait until you get into the rom.
Note:
I know that J provides a own Baseband package, but i use this .ftf bundle, where I mixed the 435 Firmware parts with the amss.sin of the bb.52 bundle available in the bbcollection thread and I haven't any problems with this and on that way, you haven't to flash always the normal and the modded bb if you switch between roms.

Hi there. I am curious to try this. How is your battery life. Also, which version are you running, the previous "b" or "c". Reason i ask is because on your signature, it says "7.0.3-X10-J020b"
Thanks
where can i download FreeXperiaRecovery?? I will tray this!

I have runned this way J020b, I would try the c, but I can't! It's bad, but my phone is at the se service point for repairing it. But if I get it back, I'll install directly the latest Cm7 version again.

If you download Flashtool 0.2.9.1 there is FreeXperiaRecovery included. Look into the list, there wrote to click on the xrecovery button for installing FreeXperiaRecovery. The files are included in flashtool.
@ 9Lukas5
Hey, just for clarification - I thought it was never a good idea to use the option
"format system" in the "partion tools" sub menu of xrecovery?
Doing this will erase everything - including xrecovery itself [self destruct] and therefore the user would not have any option except complete reflash if anything were to go wrong with the subsequent install.... ?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Edit: if this is what you meant by "wipe system" in OP !

Yes i ment this.............maybe you're right, cause it will be formatted by installing the rom, too.........hm..will correct op.
Edit: I made it that way always, and had never problems, so i haven't thought about it.
no its COMPLETELY fine to format system AS LONG AS, you flash the rom RIGHT AFTER (DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE BEFORE FLASHING ROM AS RECOVERY WILL HAVE BEEN ERASED).
When you format system, and install the rom, the rom has recovery built into it as well and it installs the recovery to your system partition when you flash the rom.
So as long as you dont reboot after format system and install the rom first, your fine.
Hello 9lukas5,
I thought I might mention that I've finally managed to fix my wlod but by installing setcpu on the earlier version of J's rom I was using, and setting it up to on boot run the processor at the usual 998 speed. Then I flashed the update.zip (from j's latest release, just formats the system) which didn't remove setcpu so the cpu was running at 998, this stopped all the random reboots and wlods.
I tried for a couple of weeks to use an update, trying so many different ways of stopping my phone being unusable as soon as I flashed the updates due to wlods.
Just though I'd mention it in this thread as it was on topic. Not everyones fix I'm sure, but helped me.
Cheers for all your support and help with installing the roms.

K - Right on, ty. Just so it's out there and people know ;-)
I believe the majority of WLODs are to due with the CPU constantly running at full speed.
I was getting a lot of WLODs with FreeXperia Kernel-10 on my ROM until I manually set the CPU governor to on demand.
Just go into Cyanogen Settings and change the CPU governor to on demand (it probably already is set to on demand, so change it to something else and then change it back to on demand).
After that my CPU was running at more than the max frequency and I haven't had many WLOD's (think I've had one since, a major improvement).
Erm not to be funny but their are no WLOD due to the changes J has made in his new version, regardless of how I flash it, no WLOD anymore... It has nothing to do with the way you flash the rom that caused this...
Hi guys,
I have follow ALL step from the step 1.
The phone boot, ask for the PIN code, then the page to change the language and then WLOD...
Do you think it come from the CPU frequency ?
I can't found the BTS kernel for this ROM.
Thank you for your help.
hmm....I shared it cause I hadn't any problems of WLODs yet on Cm7 since J019
Hello all,
the main trouble I had causing wlod, was definitely the clock speed. When I flashed the rom (about twenty times, different ways) I would not get enough time to configure any cpu settings, or any other settings, before my phone crashed and it would just start to bootloop with wlod.
I had to install setcpu on an older version of j's rom which didn't have overclock. Checked the box to apply settings on boot. So that when I flashed j's latest rom which is just the update of the system, all my apps were there (didn't bother wiping cache, data, etc) setcpu was still running on boot to keep the cpu set to 998.
Haven't had a single problem since, apart from low battery phone crash.
I tried so many different ways to flash before trying this, hope this helps someone.

Ok so im realtively new to working on android phones, just got an atrix, rooted fine, superuser and all bootloader unlocked and stuff, booted into clockwork mod for the first time.
When i did this i clicked on "install update from SD card", chose Greyblur as a test rom cause i seen it on the guide to flash roms, so i followed what they did exacly, when i installed it, i went straight to the "reboot" button, clicked reboot and when it did it wont go past the Dual Core Technology screen, please help me android atrix veterans! i dont have insurance and ive been searching for about a week now, im really scared that im royally screwed, i bought accessories for the phone and want to use them on a non-soft bricked phone!
Please and thanks!
1. Install Romracer's cwm
2. Greyblur is a pseudo-rom, try any rom at the top in the development forum instead. I'm using Nottach's Dark Side right now, it's crazy fast and is very stable.
i have cwm, the problem is i just cant get booted into it without getting on my phone, and launching it via an app i have, is there a way to get on the CWM recovery without an app? cause when i click android recovery it takes me to the stock recovery
Ok, sounds like you installed Tenfar's OLD clockwork recovery, which was only a 'bootstrap' recovery.
What you need to do is, try getting into recovery by doing this:
power off.
press and hold power and vol down buttons until you see 'fastboot' appear on screen. press vol down 7 times until you see 'android recovery' and press vol up key.
This may or may NOT work since you installed the boostrap recovery from Tenfar.
If it DOES work. Do a factory reset. and reboot. See if its fixed.
If not do this:
Download RomRacers Recovery and flash via Fastboot
then do the same button commands to get into Recovery and try to factory reset again.
If none of that works, PM me with your information, such as Android version (froyo, gingerbread, etc etc) and I'll get you sorted.
how do i use fastboot? do i need a program or something on my computer? never touched fastboot before i dont think
Hey i have a similar problem my phone was rooted and an unlocked bootloader using the automatic unlocker and i went to install a rom i believe it was called unofficial aroma rom by th3 bill i went to install it from tenfars cwm and i wiped every thing first and when i went to install the rom it finished in like 5 seconds i pretty new to all this but i thought something was up when it rebooted it wont go past the dual core screen so i went and looked around and found that it could be a kernel issue or a recovery be outdated issue since when i tried to restore my back up on tenfars it still wouldn't go past the dual core screen i then put olmypus cwm on it to see if that wont fix it but i guess that made it worse cus now when i went to go restore I it says error mismatch mdsum so yeah i looked around and read that i can return to stock by flashing a fruitcake but before i did that i thought i should make sure first.hope you guys can help

alright so i did what you said and I'm just guessing the rom just doesnt work for my phone cuz it installed in 5 secs again and i installed a previous version of the rom and it didn't work as well it took me to a rom setup screen like asking me what i want to wipe and what memory to use and then installed pretty quick as well and it didn't boot past the dual core i then whent ahead and flashed the fruit cake rom which is pure stock 1.4.1 and now my phone works...i now have a couple questions do you think it would be smart to back up this rom and keep it as my back up even though its not my real original stock rom? my original one doesn't work it gets a md5 mismatch error or something and doesn't restore.i read some where that tenfars recovery doesnt back u roms properly and that might me why because that what i backed up on should i install rom racer recovery i read that that one is specifically for the atrix if should can you explain how to do that?lastly i stil want to put a custom rom on my phone because the whole reason i did this was because i found out i wasn't getting ics but
each of the two roms i installed never booted up and the only one that worked was the fruit cake do you know a good stable rom to use preferably ics or jellybean?i was also looking into the neutrino v2.9 rom but the linked is down and you need rom racer to install if you cant answer anything i asked please do thanks so far though

go back into recovery by pressing volume down while it's turning on. Then mount sd storage (from recovery) and past into your sdcard an other better rom).Unmount when transfer is complete. WIPE ALL: factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Install the zip from sdcard. Enjoy
Try formatting data and cache. Format options should be under advanced - mount menu. After formatting your data and cache go to install zip from sdcard and install the new rom. Do wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

scroll down till you see this rom.

scroll down and download the attachment. joban 2.08 kernel zip
put it on root of sd card
im not sure how you applied roms, but because rom manager isnt supported on our phones i wouldnt recommend useing it to flash roms.
boot into recovery. i power off phone then hold power, home, and vol-down at the same time, keep held down till it loads into recovery.
do factory reset/wipe
wipe cache(s)
wipe battery stats. this and wipe delvik cache is thru advance option. also you can turn off/on signature verification if your having issues. ie invalid or signature not found.
then choose apply zip from sd card
choose zip from sd card
find rom , choose it
it will ask you again to make sure you got the one you want.
after flash reboot phone.
once booted you will have funky colors, dont worry. turn off phone a boot into recovery.
flash kernel same way as rom. no need to wipe anything though.
reboot and enjoy.
a caution when using rom manager aside from flashing the recovery. other functions have resulted in soft bricks and weird resets.

had the exact same issue ! >>>follow those steps and you will have a 100% workin Paranoid<<<
1st : do you try coming from another ROM ? Did you wipe/Fresh, or you are actually updating ?
2nd : th3bill actually are working to make the option chooser smaller since it is too big for our atrix system partition
3rd : just go to paranoid thread and see what ive done if you absolutely want that option chooser to work (NOT RECOMMENDED as it cause issues)
Workaround that really works no problem : go to recovery now that you have a fully working paranoid 2.9.9 that dont have any gapps and flash without wiping everything (that will NOT erase your app.. Just the ROM)
Reboot into Recovery
THEN :
Recovery>wipe CACHE partition
Recovery>advance>wipe dalvik cache (then go back)
Recovery>mounts&storage>format /system
Recovery>mounts&storage>format /preinstall (then go back)
Recovery>instal from sd card (external or internal, as you wish) and isntall Paranoid 2.9.9
>>>DONT REBOOT<<< at the end of aroma installer (uncheck the lil dot) then press finish (that will put you back in recovery)
back to recovery, go to advance again>fix permission
THEN,
Flash blusleep fix
flash Epinter's gapps (that will be FULLY compatible)
Let me know if you made it work
P.s.I had once, some issue with the playstore (i didnt wipe clean since 2.5.2) Force closing at the boot of the ROM and then, was unable to open at all !
If it happens on you, just go to system settings inside the rom>application>google playstore>erase Data>uninstall updates>reboot, it shoud do the trick
Plz, Hit the tanks button if i helped you

The power button behaviour has become very random and strange.
With the successful insatll of this rom I had to install "Button Remap apk" which set the search button to lock screen and longer press brings up the power button menu of reboot etc.
However with this rom the music player and the one I installed did not recognise a whole batch of a particular music file. So I went into recovery to restore a previous CM7 backup and hey presto the power button worked when selecting options. So I did the restore. The power button worked a couple of times then nothing. And the "Button Remap app" dosen't work in CM7.
I think the Aroma prep was the culprit.
I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...

http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.

Thanks a lot! I'll do this as soon as I get the device sometime today

Thanks, I guess I don't need to waste my time backing up data. And thanks for the link, it'll help me root my device as well

After I flashed the kernel, it said 'PASS' on the Odin screen but now my device keeps rebooting, and it won't stop! D:
I can enter CWM Recovery, and I tried wiping data/factory reset and I've wiped cached partition but it still keeps rebooting.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've googled this problem for 3 hours but haven't found a solution
what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

I followed instructions on this website;
m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

Would that work, even though I haven't rooted my device yet? Since I haven't done the steps under 'Rooting the Galaxy Player 5.0' on the link HG1 sent.
oh you have an intl device. in that case, you'll have to install cm9 first, power down, boot up into recovery and install pac rom
you dont have to be rooted for this

Okay, but in the CM9 thread the first thing it says for installation is 'Make sure your device is ROOTED' and mine is not - so are you sure it will work? I just don't want to brick my device or anything, just got it today xD
to install cm9, boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, then select the mount usb storage (connect your usb cable to your computer first)
then copy a cm9 rom zip over (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957)
you should be fine
if something fails for some reason, try installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144 via odin (put your device in dl mode).
this is a rooted stock rom

Okay, I've installed CM9 so after I install PACMAN shall I also install the gapps and Sultan kernel as well?

yup, dont forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik, (look under mounts and storage) system, and dbdata (or datadata)
All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.

I finally got it working yesterday evening, and I'm loving the new ROM! Thanks a lot for your time and effort guys, I really appreciate it
