As the title suggests, I recently tried all ICS kernels that I know and none of them booted to even the recovery screen before I got a WLOD. I really want to be on ICS so can someone please help?
I have tried all available ICS in this forum, but none of them seem to work properly or im flashing something wrong... So stick to GB for now and when you get a very stable kernel and ROM... flash that... as fas as i know Championswimmers AKOP port is almost done expect some data issues (thats what i red when i saw it last)... But if you decide to flash ICS, just amke sure you are using proper "Kernel"....
Happened the same to me with kcernel. What I did was flash a stock room with flashtool and then flash fxp-127 kernel, and that worked for me to instal remyICS.

Finally I was able to install ICS (tried both CM9 and Xperia S ICS) for both all you need is FXP kernel, currently I'm using FXP132 kernel and Xperia S ICS ROM...

I'm currently running stock 2.3.3 from SE (through Rogers in Canada) with baseband 2.1.71 (rooted since it was released)
I planned on installing CM7 on my phone so I decided to unlock my bootloader so that it is ready when I eventually do so. I used FlashTool 0.6.7.0 to unlock it and it ran without any problems.
However I'm unable to turn Wi-Fi on. It only says "Error" and I'm not too sure what's wrong. I tried searching for answers but others with same issues were using custom ROMs while I'm still on stock.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? If you're missing any information to be able to help me, please let me know and I will post them. (I have about a week to fix this as I'll be leaving on vacation and I'll need wifi working)
Thanks!
If you have really opened bootloader, for such device special kernels are necessary (stock or custom). Flash by FlashTool one of such ftf-kernels, then install with utility xRecovery the module wi-fi for this kernel.
The author of each ROM recommends, what kernels to use and gives the link on downloading.
just look for the kernel tht is meant for unlocked bootloader tht should work with stock rom n then flash kernel via flashtool n wifi modules file through xrecovery ur wifi will work
Which kernel u using? U prob need the relevant WiFi modules.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot tonight. I noticed it mentioned to install a custom kernel but seeing how everything else was fine I skipped that step. (ooops )
I had that "error" on my stock with zKernel.I dont know cause,but i fix it with reinstall zKernel..Try with zKernel for stock..

Well, installed FXP105 and everything seems to be buttery smooth. Wifi is working now (yay!), but now camera is not working. Also tried with Vignette and no go.
Gonna search around a bit.
Thats ICS man,camera dont working and some other stuff eather.Its stable but its not for everyday use.
Sent from my xperia "z10i"
It's not ICS... I installed CM7.2. Found out FXP105 was missing a lib file for camera so I'll fix it later.
Thanks for all your help guys
FXP105 is 9.0 (ICS),thats FXP54 i think.

Well, actually I'm using a custom rom, based on GB, because I've been having the same problem with EVERY ROM based on ICS (Stock or Custom).
I honestly don't know why does it happen, my problem is... Every time I've tried an ICS-based Rom, my WiFi disconnects itself all the time. It goes out and comes back after a few seconds every time it wants to, and it doesn't matter at all how far or near I am of my router.
I never had that problem with Gingerbread. Is it a problem with DNS, IP or something like that? Can I just use an app to fix that?
At least I would like to know what happens, thanks everybody in advance! :laugh:

Maybe change your wlan to b/g and not b/g/n, that had solved it for me
Had your bootloader unlocked? What kernel are you using?

gouthamthemostwanted: My bootloader doesn't allow unlocking, so I am using the stock Kernel -.-
If you are using the stock kernel are you sure you flash ics kernel prior flashing the ics Rom?
If you flash ics kernel.sin using flashtool and still experience problems on WiFi then go through the updater-script of the Rom and make sure permissions are set right and this symlink is present
symlink("/data/etc/wifi/wl1271-nvs.bin","/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin");
I use rage kernel and removing this symlink from updater-script made my WiFi not to work . I don't know whether will it work with stock ics kernel but it's worth a shot.
Sent from my smultron using xda app-developers app
Ok, I'll be honest with you. I don't know what the updater-script is, and I never tried to flash a kernel because my bootloader is still locked
I think the problem is on your router. Change the channel and mode and also disable the wireless security. See what happen......

To flash the stock Sony kernel you don't need a unlocked bootloader . If you don't flash ics kernel for ics Rom I'm sure it won't work properly. I won't even boot properly in the first place.
Below is the stock ics firmware for st15i
http://www.mediafire.com/?wot47vumhstlc4h
Flash the above mentioned ics firmware using flashtool before flashing any ics Rom.
I hope you know what a flashtool is and how to flash your device using it.

Flash back on gingerbread and see if wifi is working well. If yes, you know it's not related to your router.
It's a known problem on ics by sony that wifi isn't working well, but there's no working fix as far as I know...

Yeah... I know what flashtool is, I have used it too many times. But I never heard about flashing the stock kernel, I thought the kernel was automatically updated when you install the ICS tft. I'll try it anyway.

Actually, as I said, in GB I never had that problem, and I don't know what to do yet.
Maybe this can help...
Here are the updater-script files of the ROM's that I have recently used.
If there's something incompatible with my phone or if there's something I can do with them to fix the problem, I'd be glad to know it
I'll let you know man . I'll go through them . It's 12 in the morning here

Haha it's ok, take your time. Thank you
I just skimmed through both the updater-scripts and I don't find anything wrong there. What ftf file you used for ics? Is it regional customization or world customization?

I recently installed CM9 on my phone but I want to downgrade because I think CM7 is better, for performance, stability and most of all, apps and games compatibility. I'm a gamer so it's really annoying a lot of games with high quality graphics don't work with ICS and with gingerbread works pretty well. But the problem is that I flash CM9 kernel (the one that comes with the ROM "boot.img") before flashing cm9 rom, and now to downgrade, what i did is put the cm7 rom and gapps.zip on sd card, the do the wipes, install zip and selected cm7 rom, then gapps, then wipe again and reboot. But it's stuck in cm7 bootloop..... what can I do? Please help :/

Ok so now that I've played with JB, I wanted to try out xperia ultimate hd for instance.
Problem is, I already had a lot upgrading from stock ICS to JB FXP.
So now the question: What are the steps to be sure there 's no problem at all while I change from
Flykernel+FXP
to
Xperia ultimate hd.
I unzipped the source, but can't find any ICS kernel to flash with flashtool. And I think I can not just reboot in recovery and flash the new rom, am I wrong ?
Searched for a clue on xda, sorry if I missed a post with the answer in it.
You should flash an ics kernel like rage kernel and flash the xperia ultimate HD rom in recovery. Don't forget about the wipes, it should work
What are the issues you are afraid of?

flykernel for ics has recovery just use it. You will want to flash the kernel first and then use the CWM from flykernel ics to flash the rom. Since there was no kernel inside the ROM this probably means it uses the stock kernel.
Ok thanks ! reasons why I want to change is :
-> Google Search is leeching my battery, I tried everything from disabling location or history, still draining do not know why...
-> No OTA on FXP, you guys know if there is any chances there would be on CM10 unoff ? CM10 supposed to bring OTA, do not know if FXP will.
->Still my battery is fine with smartassV2 / Sio, but I miss the auto brightness and I wanted a more stable / Battery friendly rom. Is ultimate HD the right choice ?
3 questions in one thread...:silly:
Friends I've tired cm10 with lot of fxp kernels as the fxp201 or fxp152 kernel is keeping my phone blank on boot. I tired cm10 nightlies from get.cm and flashed fxp146 kernel my phone booted and I run cm10 but my Wi-Fi and camera not working then I flashed lupus jb kernel my phone soft bricked then again I switched to cm9 stable version
I want to know which is the best jellybean rom for my phone and which kernel should I use for that. As I have tired fxp201,152but all result in blank boot and no cwm

This is the best
"The Best ROM" threads are not allowed. It is VERY subjective, each users device may perform differently, so your experience with 1 rom, may be not what someone else experiences. Your best bet is to read the different threads, and try one. Do that until you find one that suits your needs
