thank you very much!
one last question, in the process of unlocking bootloader or/and flashing a custom kernel, do it need wipe data?

Hi everyone, I followed this great guide in the forum, from rooting to flashing a new rom and, after flashing, when I boot up my phone I can see the nAa screen no problem but later it gets to a "SE logo loop". Does this means that my phone is now bricked and I should proceed to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268064 instructions or there's some runarround I can do to solve the problem?

nAa-JB? That requires a kernel with built in CWM like nAa-14 or nAa-ICS and a series of wipes to be done from CWM.

I don't really get much of it, as I am a noob who was trying to flash for the 1st time following that guide. Could you please just explain it a little bit so I can understand better what I did wrong or the solution to that?
Thanks!

The stock ROM, (which contains all the the things you actually use) that is provided by sony ericsson, does not work with nAa's kernels. They have been designed to run custom roms, so you need to go into CWM and flash a ROM appropriate to the kernel you chose.
And some, like nAa-JB require extra things to be done from another custom kernel to work. If you want a simple one, I'd stick to miniCM7

Hello !
I have a neo V under GB 2.3.4 build .62 with looked bootloader and non rooted
Now I want to install a new rom for the first time and it's PA JB Hybrid
I saw the instructions but i think it's very hard for a noob like me, I wish someone tell me step by step how to install the rom please and CWM
Also I have some questions :
After installing CWM there is any risk to brick my phone ? (really any risk?)
Is Hdmi is working on this rom ?
Is camera is working on this rom ?
is it smooth for games ?
Thank you a lot people and sorry if my english isn't good
first, you must UNLOCK Bootloader your phone.
You can use official metode or test point metode.
(search both metode in forum)
after that, your phone is ready for Custom ROM.
follow instructions to install PA JB Hybrid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792
Ok i'm going to unlock the bootloader using the official metod.
Can I lock it after that if I want ?

OK, root is really important :laugh: I think you should also get cwm recovery as step 2 and figure out how to use it before you unlock your boot loader. There are a bunch of ROMs in Ray Dev that are for unlocked boot loaders so you can try some things out and get comfortable flashing with cwm and/or flashtool. If you find that you like what you are doing, then unlock the boot loader. It probably will only take a day or two to figure out cwm and how flashing with cwm and flashtool work, but by then you will be a lot more comfortable with the instructions for unlocking your boot loader and you will be less likely to end up in a bad place and people will be able to help you better, since you already know how to do most of the stuff.
Thread moved. Questions belong here in Q&A.
Thanks

There are a few MIUI roms for example or you could try MiniCMSandwich for AOSP style, just search around in development section and find your favourite!

As you can see, the later one requires an unlocked bootloader. So you need learn how to unlock first. It's easy, and Sony has official guides on their website. All is easy after unlocking bootloader. Hope you got it!

Actually I lost the steps/procedures I followed when I unlocked, rooted, and installed this custom rom i have. So what I did was to look under my memory bank but unfortunately, I just recalled a few. Of course, there was no more unlocking of bootloader and rooting(flashmode) done because it was already unlocked and rooted during my first update/installation, I just wipe cache, dalvik-cache and wipe date/factory reset using cwm recovery. After that, I flashed the JB ROM still using cwm recovery, reboot it on recovery and wipe cache, dalvik-cache and wipe date/factory reset then reboot. My phone restarted but only up to the sony custom rom logo. Can you please help?

Meaning after the incident of not rebooting of my phone, what I should do was flash stock rom using flashtool then install the custom rom via recovery?
first flash stock *.ftf file using flashtool then boot it first so that it becomes stable then again root your phone and install any cwm recovery you want then enter cwm make all the wipes that are given in the tutorial then flash the rom and then reboot

Yes sir! I think I should repeat the procedures again and again until I could figure out the right and the best way to install this custom rom.
For any help, I am still accepting it. For now, maybe trial and error is the best way possible.

Keep in mind that ROM makers don't have means to test too many situations, so they have tested it in one way the know it would work, anything that have not not been tested would probably fail.

Hi, sorry for the ignorance , but would need to have the .314 version to install this rom? If so, I would like to know how to downgrade, I'm 17.1.2.A.0.323, thank you very much in advance
funky0308 said:
No...
You don't have to downgrade.
Niaboc added boot.img to ROM (kernel) and everything will be fine without downgrading.
You need to have working recovery on your current ROM, that's all.
Just restart to recovery, wipe everything and flash ROM.
There are reported problems with Aroma (symlink error at the end of flashing, if you get that error, don't restart, just flash again but this time only hit next all the time, don't change anything in Aroma)

You don't need to downgrade. Just apply the instructions in ROM's thread.
No need to downgrade or open a new thread if the steps are very clear.
Read again and understand !!

No need. If you read install instructions carefully you'll get your answer. Just flash it by the book and the rom will brilliantly do all the work for you!
