yes i did still break it

Had the same problem
Here is what I've done:
Download xRecovery GBready from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
Manually install the xRecovery with Root Explorer
(Just copy the files in the downloaded zip file to the corresponding directories in your system directory)
now i got the xRecovery back, and it's still there even after flashing another kernel

[Q] Total noob, stuck at Sony logo after flashing ROM

Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

I see that you are not wiping/formatting your data.. Wiping data is essential when installing a custom ROMs or switching ROMs..
Before wiping cache, format your data first!

it is not enough to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stat etc? becoz i already done all that through CWM.
and a noob question, how to properly format the data? phone data or sdcard data?

The data has to be wiped when you install a custom ROM.. Since some of the data can cause troubles to the new ROM you have installed..
I advice you to do the following when installing a ROM.. Follow step by step..
- Flash the kernel first
- Boot into CWM mode by pressing 'volume down'
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install custom zip from sd card i.e your custom ROM zip file
- reboot now
there you go now!
PS. Data formatting has to be done in CWM mode and it will not erase your sd data! So relax!
Also, press 'Thanks' if I helped you!
CHEERS!

I don't know why you're getting so much errors?!

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.
must i tell this in every reply?
this is the exact step doing all of this..
flash kernel via fastboot thru command prompt window..
and flash rom thru cwm with this step..
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe data/factory reset,cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
and chill bro. i have problem here, and i ask about it because i dont know what to do.
and fastboot folder must placed in android-sdk folders or it is not necessary?

Are you sure the kernels are compatible with the custom ROM you are using? Usually the developer suggests some ROMs. Also, you might need a different baseband for the kernels you are using. Which ROM are you using? Some have extra steps you have to perform.

Only boot.img has to be placed in android sdk folder.

Sorry I'm not awake today. Boot.img must be in android sdk and only the fastboot.exe file. I doubt it's got anything to do with that though, if you can successfully flash kernels.

HEY EVEN I HAD THE SAME SAME PROBLEM BEFORE...its was that i followed all the steps n still was stuck at bootlogo

SO BASICALLY TRY TO FORMAT THE SD CARD USING SD FORMATTER software and not the windows default one.
IT WORKED FOR ME AND HOPE IT WILL FOR YOU ALSO
SD CARD FORMATTER 3.1 link google it

Reflash your Kernel. Wipe Everything (System, Data, Dalvik, Cache). Then try again. Try another recovery and see if it work...cos CWM sometimes throws an error while parsing some scripts while Xrec simply ignores them. try Xrecovery. When in Root Screen Flash-Tool, Identify your device And install a restart into the default Xrec for that ROM.

You mean real ics? Okay please update to ics like explained here first. After that get cwm.
Download the rom and put it on sd card.
1. Reboot in cwm
2. "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip"> choose the installation zip
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
6. Reboot
That's it. Should work
No, you can't install cusrom ics with gb kernel, you should upgrade stock rom ics, root, install cwm, wipe everything, install cusrom real ics, done..

I just meant as you said wipe all that's wrong. Don't wipe or format /system. He just shouldn't do anything like format system. Just that he doesn't think "wipe all" = "system,data,cache,dalvik cache, etc"

Thanks for the help, but is still a bit unclear for me.
I'll Try it if necessary, but do you really think this is related with the base Stock ROM ?
Just please clarify, because I had done the wipes before installing, or maybe this is due to the cwm I used instead of the boot.img ?
Since the .54 has issues with the tethering I was holding its installation.

DONE!!!
The problem is related to the CWM method so stick to the FreeXperia way of installation.
By the way I also upgraded to .54 after the first attempt, Thanks.
