[Q] Need help Hybrom v12 .. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have wt19i and wanna install this hybrom v12..
.fw v58.. roted and unlocked using doomlord zerg v4..
could someone explain me step by step what i must do
to install this hybrom 12?
any video, maybe?

any of 100 views know how?

Try this
Installation instructions
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader is necessary for now to install hybrom)
Copy the zip file to your SD card
Reboot your device in CWM
Make a full data wipe-factory reset
Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
Choose install zip from sd card
Wait for installation to end
Reboot
(First reboot after installation might take a while and screen gets totally black after boot animation is displayed for about a minute or twnly on first reboot)
Reboot a second time
Enjoy!
(If anyone gets stuck at se logo at first reboot,he should try this also: First make the data wipe, then install,then shutdown the device.Turn it on after about 10sec)

Sorry no time for step by step but you can try my way:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Update to .62 by flasttool
3. Install b kernel (made by bbooff himself)
4. Install Hybrom
-> done
Then you can install others kernel if you like

thanx but i am bigger noob, cant understand any of that ))

ok.... Wait two or three more hours i try to make some easy for you

So i try it. I put here some of pieces from other Thread.

[Q] What is wrong in Hybrom v12 on my phone ?

Hi, first i want to say sorry about my english level and thanks to people who reads my post.
I try to flash mi xperia mini pro sk17, with ..058 version of firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted and with CWM.
Will follow the step by step instruction, and after instalation my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson screen and nothing happens about 10 minutes and after then i remove the battery and try to enter in CWM and again nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same problem and how you resolve it ?
Thanks in advance for people who help me !
Respect for all XDA members !
Occured same problem, flashed my phone back to stock firmware until I find a solution.
Anyone has one?
ok...i will try to explain....I believe you have installed nAa-r2 CWM? It is defective CWM since it is put in system/ section... hybrom rewrites this section, thus, when you start recovery from system/ and try to install ROM, you try to erase CWM from under CWM....just update your FW to .62, install custom kernel you like and then make all wipes and install zip from sd card)

Yeah, I think the best way is to update to .62, then install b kernel (made by bbooff himself - unlock bootloader needed) then load Hybrom, then you can install any other kernel you like. But I have problem with X kernel with Hybrom, first one is bootloo and then draining batterry very fast ^^"

the rom is based on 0.62 Kernel, upgrade first to 0.62 then try flashing again, i dont know if this makes a difference but its worth a try
I solved my problem and installed Hybrom v12 now.
First, indeed, you need to have unlocked bootloader and .62 firmware, I used WotanClient to flash the firmware. Then I got other kernel, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161 this one.
Then I entered the Clockworkmod Recovery(press power button one-two times, when the screen goes lighter on turning on). Then I followed the instructions from the Hybrom and successfully installed it.
I got WT19i, but should apply the same.

This is not working, I ran сalibrate.but, rewriting touch_smiltron_sony on touch_coconut_tpk.Hybrom_v10 does not work.
I do not want to pass to the service center, because I know that there are men of genius, and I hope that soon my problem will be solved.

Check that topic, try the solutions posted there.
I sent mine to service already, ROM testing killed the touchscreen.
Problem solved!
1)Install lastest firmware .62 for wt19i - use Flashtool
2) Install Rage Kernel 2.6 - use Flashtool
3) Then via CM from zip install hybrom_v12. for mini pro
3) Install "Touchscreen.zip" via CWM and reboot system
(Touch screens has to work)
4) Then again flash hybroman_v12 for wt19i
Good luck!!!
djRemov dude, where'd you get that touch flashfile? You made it yourself or is someone developing it? I fixed mine using the Hybrom v12 > Hybroman v12 way (without the file) and it still worked. Just curious..
I dug the hybrom zip and found the exact same hex files on it. Was thinking whether the just the script would work on it's own without flashing the minipro hybrom since they're doing essentially the same thing..
Thx dude
** oh yeah, not gonna test that theory anytime soon. I love my phone when it works~! LoL

I made myself.
At first I wanted to copy a SYS from another phone, but wondered, and concluded that the MINI PRO ROM has changed about the path to the touch screen files in the SYS . Renaming touch_coconut_tpk.hex in touch_mango_....hex, and replaced by one file in the folder firmware.
Do you guys have a link for the Mini Pro ROM? I'm desperate now.. =(
I still have a HYBROMAN v16 do you think that would work?
EDIT: I was able to download HYBROM_V12 but CWM keeps saying that the file is bad. Downloaded and re downloaded at least 10x now.. Any ideas?
UPDATE: For those who are having problems with their touchscreen, this method works! (finally found a working version of hybrom_v12)
@djRemov: You are a god!

Lemme see if I understand this right. Basically, what it does is overwrite the hex file and starts the touchscreen script? In which case it continues from the hybrom flash and replaces the hex from the minipro with the lww one?
WT19i Touchscreen Issue Solved

Follow these steps.
1) First you need to download and copy these two ROM zip files to your SD Card. The download links are given below.
a) (Note: Add (https) then //) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)

2) Switch Off your phone and flash the latest GB Stock Firmware (GB !4.0.2.A.0.62) by using Flash Tool.
You will get this Stock Firmware from here. If you have already downloaded the file, skip this download.
(Note: Add (www) then (.) before you enter the address which is given below in the address bar for downloading the file.)

3) Switch on by connecting usb cable to your computer by press and hold the volume up button on your mobile for Fastboot mode . Download and extract the kernel file which i attached with this post
(kernel_coconut-v4.zip) and flash it via Fastboot Mode in Flash Tool.
4) Switch on your mobile and press the volume down button to enter the CWM Menu and do these things.
a) wipe data/factory reset
b) wipe cache partiton
c) wipe Dalvik Cache
5) After that Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybrom_v10.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
6) When the installation complete, restart your phone. You will see that your touch is partially working !! Don't waste your time by checking
Touchscreen. Switch off your mobile by remove the battery and put it again.
7) Switch on your mobile and boot into CWM Mode again. Don't do these things(wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partiton and wipe Dalvik
Cache) again for installing new zip from SDCard. (I'll tell the reason later )
Do 'Install zip from sdcard' and select hybroman_v12.zip file from your sdcard which you downloaded and copied to your SDCard
earlier.
8) After the Installation restart your phone and wait for booting into new ROM hybrom v12. Now you can see that your Touchscreen Issue is
solved !!!! :laugh:
Optional:
If you are facing wifi problem just flash the zip file via CWM (coconut_wlan_v4.zip) which is atteched with this post.
If you are not satisfied with hyvrom v12, you can also flash again the Stock Firmware or any other ROM which only supported by LWW

Flashing back to stock didnt fix it? Because if its not a HW issue then flashing to stock give you back your stock files and kernel so then your touch should be working again. Flashing hybrom v10 then v12 will do nothing other than give you the files of that rom.
What was the rom you installed that broke your touch? There are only two possible reasons for that to happen, 1, you had a corrupt .zip file, or 2, you flashed a rom and kernel that was not for your device.

[Q] how to reboot CWM in Xperia mini ??

i have 2 quastion!!
1- which file i have to download .. there are many thread and i dont know which is necassary 4me???
2- how i reboot in cwm ?? plz helpppppppppp
What file do you want to download and from where?
Install CWM, turn off phone, then turn it on and when the Sony or Sony Ericsson logo appears, press volume down many times, until a menu appears.
Just simply update your phone using SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service). Just download it and follow the steps.
Its always work to update.

For 2nd questions, you need to root your phone. Do you ever heard about how to root sk17i?
If you have rooted your phone, just download CWM installer from market, install it, open, and install clockworld mode. After you installed it, theres a menu to reboot your phone into cwm mode.
Feel free to ask more if you find difficulties.

If I have got you right, after you installing the custom ROM, without flashing the necessary kernel and without unlocking bootloader, (which is totally wrong) your phone gets stuck on the SONY logo screen right?
The solution now is to, calm down first, read the posts made here properly(I say this because you were told to unlock bootloader and to flash the necessary kernel before installing the custom ROM by a XDA member on this thread itself, but you did none of those) turn off your phone, and use flashtool to do a full flash of your phone.
Download the .ftf of your phone, ICS or GB, whichever, then flash your phone using that ,ftf file via flashtool, then follow the tutorials available here on XDA to root your phone (The tutorials differ for ICS and GB), root your phone, start it, download and install 'Xperia CWM auto installer' from the market, then install CWM using this app.
Then unlock your bootloader using the various methods available but be aware of the warranty issues involved.
Then flash the necessary kernel on your phone, there's a tutorial for this too on XDA, then start your phone, when the SONY logo brightens keep pressing the volume down key repeatedly and you will enter CWM.
Then follow the instructions on the thread from where you have downloaded the ROM you want to install and then reboot.
Voila.. you are on custom ROM of your choice my friend..
I have tried to make this as simple as possible, but if you still need more help, feel free to ask.
NOTE: Do not flash custom kernels without unlocking bootloader.

Neo V stuck rootloop, can't access anything...

hi all!
after successfully flashing and rooting my neo v i started trying these excellent roms of XDA developers.
so, with locked BL, after installing XPERIA Ultimate HD and Zelly Bean i went for a try on Ice Cream pureness v14.
i guess my mistake was that after a full wipe from CWM i installed the ROM, the neo v patch and the upgrade without any reboot but the last one.
anyway, i am stuck on a bootloop now
can't access CWM (i guess because of system format....(?))
i flashed stock rom with flashtool but still nothing
i am searching for hours to avoid posting such an embarrassing "first post" but i really can't find a solution
thanx in advance!
EDIT : Just managed to recover the phone using Sony Ericsson update service software, turning it back to 4.0.4 stock. So i am going again for root etc. I guess there should be an easier way so if anybody knows it please share.
and if any admin could fix that "rootloop" in the title....
cheers!
Yes, there is an easier way. Unlock your phone bootloader with one of two methods. I would choose testpoint method.
Just some tips: When you flash zip, always do wipe cache/data (don't wipe system like someone does), check that it is for locked bootloader, for Neo V not L or Neo etc. I never had those problems. Anyway, I don't see advantage of those ROMs on locked bootloader except of removing bloatware, which you can do by yourself.
And it is called bootloop not rootloop.

Thanx for tips! I am quite new to all this so I thought unlocked bl would come at the next level. I guess I might go for it sooner.
I know about the rootloop mistake that's why I asked for a correction
Cheers
I feel like a noob again. My (rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom rom) Neo V is stucked at bootloop. I tried flashing a stock kernel and it just stucked at the Sony logo, Then I flashed a custom kernel and it only light up the screen and nothing happen. Really need help...
I was trying to flash a custom rom and it was telling me to wipe battery stat and cache in advance option

Ok, I flashed the .ftf and I was able to get into CWM, but when I go back and download the stable cm9 from Cyangenmod, It shows status 7 when flashing...
every rom I try to flash, I get status 7, I tried edit the "updater-script" and it just show installation aborted right away.
Flash kernel first and then ROM

Let me clarify this to you first,
CM doesn't work on Locked Bootloader.
So if you're having locked bootloader, there is one way to fix this:
Reflash ICS .ftf & do the whole rooting, installing CWM Recovery procedure again. Go to recovery & install the ROM with instructions stated in ROM thread.
If you have unlocked the bootloader, two ways to solve this problem:
1. Flash any other ICS kernel. Go to recovery, wipe everything except SDCard of course xD
Then power off the phone & flash kernel from CM9 zip. Install CM9.
2. If above doesn't fix the problem, reflash the ICS .ftf again. Flash CM9 kernel & install the zip usual way.
Cheers!

I have unlocked my bootloader lol. Finally I got it back to normal now. I flashed the stock ftf, then update it to a newer firmware to root it. Flash CWM, Follow the instruction on how to flash cm10 (I use cm9) and everything is fine now, but I still want to flash other custom rom...
@Gemichi
If your Bootloader unlocked,you dont need install CWM or root your phone...
What you have to do is just flash kernel which have built-in CWM.
I advice you read again how to flash kernel,I see your post you install CWM,from that I know your bootloader NOT unlocked
