Hi all senior xda-developers XD
I'm new on Android.
I'm using SE Xperia Neo running GingerBread 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62 with unlocked bootloader without root.
I try to installing Cyanogen 7 on my Neo but it always failed just reboot, reboot, reboot and reboot..
I have follow the wiki on the Cyanogen site when installing it, i try it 2 times and got the same result so i relock the BL and back to original stock firmware
Can someone tell me what's going wrong? or should i root it first before installing Cyanogen?
Have you flashed kernel with fast boot yes
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
No, because i don't know how to flash kernel and it is not on the Cyanogen installation wiki.
So, i need to flash the kernel first?

Here you go!Follow those step and you get cm7
So, "flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)" this step is called flash kernel?
I've done it.. It said extract the CM7 packed and place the boot.img file on the same folder with Fastboot then run the command.
I just forgot whether i have wipe the data or not XD
Btw sorry for my english..
Anyway i read this:
" Hi all
Am a newbie in android things n just read here n there for info bout rooting
So i have a few things to clear out if some1 can help me sort out
1: Do i have to root my se neo if i wana put cm7 ?
2: Does rooting mean i can delete useless apps (not added ones nor dwnloaded ones) frm the firmware so that i can free rams in ma fone?
thx 4 reply
Hello
1.yes you need to root and unlock boot loader to use cm7
2.yes,after rooting using file manager like Root explorer you can delete unwanted apps aka bloatware"
So, if he true. I need to root my Neo first before installing CM7 on my Neo?

Hi guys, here's the latest firmware by SE. Since it's not possible to root it with any known method, I prepared update.zip to be flashed with xRecovery
The firmware comes pre-rooted, with busybox and xRecovery pre-installed.
You need rooted 2.1 rom with xRecovery working to install this firmware!
If you already flashed the latest firmware with SEUS, please downgrade OR root it using THIS thread.
1. Download and unpack the file. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
4. Turn off phone / remove battery
5. Unpack the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2 and flash the SIN files with X10-flasher
6. Enjoy!
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
Download: 2.0.2.A.0.24-rooted-zdz.tar.bz2
If you don't have loader.sin, please find it here (thanks pedrocel85)

Hey guy first of all I wish a Merry Christmas to all this amazing XDA community....
In topic: I'm assuming that the improvements of this new release are related to the /system folder so could it be possible to flash this new version and after that do a restore of my backup of the /data folder only using xrecovery?? It's just a thought so I don't loose my apps and stuff and I will not have to re do my titanium back up all over again.....

There is also a new kernel and baseband (see step 5). To be honest, restoring backup with xRecovery will work, but I'd also recommend backing up with Titanium (to be 100% safe).
ok so ive figured it out but the files dont have a loader.sin so i cant continue with the flasher!!!!

Yep. That line has me a tad confused too.
That means that zip can be flashed just by booting into xRecovery, and of one doesn't have xRecovery, then they can simply extract the files and flash using the Flash Tool - right?
yea im also confused by step 5.
Is it possible to install JIT?
If yes, I might try it soon.
I cant install xrecovery, already have the latest FW force closes, assuming it needs root already to install?

Cheers,

any other options, pone isnt found with x10 flasher in flash mode but fine in SEUS, so cant even get back to generic old 2.1
Probably stupid question, sorry if it is (had no experience in recovery before), but if I install this FW, would my apps/settings remain, or will it make my phone cleared?
I'd lile to know that, too.

First Titanium backup its a important thing ^^
First question do you want to run it on a locked or unlocked bootloader?
if ya know that choose the desired kernel given on wolfs thread/ download
Maybe you need to flash custom wifi modules there added in the thread where the kernels are./ download
Choose wolfs rom and download
place rom and modules on sd card
Flash choosen kernel
rebboot into xrecovery
full wipe(factory reset)
wipe dalvik cache
install rom zip
install wifi modules zip
reboot
enter pin go thru setup
reboot to settle the rom
now maybe choos given modifications via appman
have fun wolfs rom is great and stable
maybe you want to download nofrills cpu control vie market to set cpu speed and couvernor
if you want to play highend games i tell you that the gaming rom with custom kernel (doomkernel) is great for this. played dead space for android on it with no lags
feel free to accidantly hit thank you button if i helped
greets darkmind

seriusly i dont realy know myself but an unlocked provides more features in the custom kernel like doomlords kernel´s which you can be overclocked over 1200 mhz (depends on the Kernel) and the boot manager who lets you boot xrecovery and cwm.
How can i install a unlocked bootloader? i am using locked bootloader "Stock" wolf's gingerbread...

If you're angry
I'm Really sorry
I damaged my phone
I am confused
I do not know what to do
No Im not angry.You are probably better getting your phone back to stock stuff until you know a bit more about flashing/rooting/roms etc.
You only learn by reading then doing the mods.Then you know to make a backup so when you try something new,and theres a problem,you run the backup and its fixed quickly.
If you cant reflash the kernel,you can run pc companion.There are guides on here how to do it(see posts by me and milton.bain) because people are connecting the phone TOO EARLY and it doesnt work.

if you want 2.2, all the roms based on 2.2 will work on stock kernel, so you don't need to unlock the bootloader, just hope the download links still work.
If you want 2.3, go to the MiniCM7 thread, the last version to run on stock kernel is 2.0.7, which can still be downloaded from the dev's repository, there is a link in his first post where you can find it.
Any later versions are all based on a custom kernel, so you won't have any luck with those.
Good luck
can u give me the link for 2.2 n also for 2.3.....
& tell me all bugz r removed...........
thanxx for your support....
I posted similar questions the other day on here trying to update my x10 mini pro to 2.3 which I got resolved.
My post towards the bottom tells how I got my phone updated without having to unlock the bootloader and only took about 20 minutes and since installing that rom other roms that don't require an unlocked bootloader are simple to install now and take a matter of minutes to install through cwm recovery.

Do you have your phone rooted and clockworkmod installed?
If not you will need that done.
Use super1click to root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then install cwmrecovery for x10 mini http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513534
Then you should be able to install roms that don't require an unlocked bootloader using cwm recovery, booting into it by pressing the back key repeatedly when the white sony ericsson logo text comes up. You need to copy rom to your sd card and once in cwm recovery back up your current rom and then install a new rom.

Is your phone rooted and do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
If not you will have to root your phone and install clockworkmod recovery - I had some problems getting clockworkmod recovery installed on my 2.1 stock rom but the link I put in my previous post installed it without any problems.
Once rooted and clockworkmod recovery installed these roms will install through clockworkmod recovery without the need to unlock your bootloader

This is the last version of MiniCM7 (GB 2.3.5) which will still run on stock kernel on the E10i.
There is not much else, but it's fairly bug-free as far as i can tell from personal experience.
I think you can do that by going on your Settings Menu.
can u explain ......

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
