If you have a Custom recovery, You can flash any CWM package..
Before flashing, you need to wipe data/factory reset, cache partion and dalvik cache to be wiped.
I can easily switch roms between ICS and GB no problem...
Sorry, bad topic

Hi,
i tried to flash hybrom v11 (comming from cm7.2) i followed all instructions but it doewnt boot.
I am getting the android and then a blackscreen.
I also tried to install a different hybrom before, but no chance Does anybody has a hint for me?
Thanks in advance,
ede
Did you wipe cache, user data and dalvik cache?
If you are coming from CM i suggest you to flash a stock rom with stock kernel and boot the phone. after successfully doing it, then you can try to flash hybrom v11
besides, it is good to ask this from boof (the creator) in the hybrom thread
Hi, I have a st15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 with stock firmware.
My system is rooted, bootloader unlock.
How do I install this ROM?
I must first upgrade to build 062?
If so, how do I build on the root 062?

Hi,
thanks for that, it worked. Is this the kernel you suggest for that rom also after installation? Or would you flash another?

hi everybody!
I need an help. Sorry for my bad english, I'm only 16 and I'm Italian.
I have an Xperia Mini, it's my first android phone, so I'm not very good at android modding! I downgraded it from ICS (Official) to Gingerbread (4.0.2.A.0.42 build) and I rooted it. Then I installed ClockWorkMod recovery. I don't have an unlocked bootloader, but I want to flash a custom ROM based on gingerbread. If I flash it, can I go back to stock rom with CWM's restore function? And If I can't, can I use flashtool to flash it (I have the .ftf file that I flashed for downgrading)?
Thanks very much.
Welcome to our forum
You can flash a gingerbread custom rom for locked bootloader with cwm, but be sure it is for locked bootloader!
If you take a backup in cwm, with backup/restore -> backup before you install the custom rom, you can restore this backup to go back to stock. Flashing the stock ftf will also work, you have to decide if you want to restore or flash, but if you take the backup in cwm it will backup the whole firmware with all apps etc :good:
Thanks! :good:
But do I need to flash a custom kernel? Or can I keep the stock kernel?

For locked bootloader custom roms it's the stock kernel :good:
For unlocked bootloader roms you need to flash a custom kernel, but this is only possible on unlocked bootloader

Normally it should work, but the problem is there's not specified if it is for locked or unlocked bootloader. It's stock based so it could work on locked, but it is recommend to flash a kernel. You could try it, but it could be you get a brick
When it's bricked, (mostly) you can't boot in recovery so you have to flash the stock rom with flashtool
Another little advice: If you install an ics custom rom on a gingerbread phone it could end in a brick. I had this when I was on locked bootloader, so I updated to ics (while keeping root, how to do this is in my rooting guide) and installed it again.
You can try an ics custom rom on your phone running gingerbread, just install it. But if it won't boot, flash the stock gingerbread rom and update it with root to ics
Ok. But before installing a rom, I have to do a full wipe, and wiping all will delete the CWM recovery?
I think I'll first upgrade to ICS officially. Can I use pc companion? or I have to flash the .ftf file of the stock 4.0.4 firmware with flashtool?

1.) make nandroid backup
2.) factory reset/wipe data
3.) wipe cache/partition
4.) format system
5.) wipe dalvik cache and battery stats.
6.) flash ROM
7.) flash supersu fix, there are lots of links out there just incase you have problems with root. this will solve your problem if u have locked BL
8.) if you lose CWM, you can use led deletes x-recovery tool to install cwm after you boot your rom
BUT TAKE NOTE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU MUST DO IN "SOME" Custom ROMS like Hasa(flashing lockscreen after 1st boot)
MAKE SURE TO READ THE THREAD's INSTRUCTIONS FIRST
Ok i read all the guides...now I'll update to ics and root it. Then I'll install a custom rom.

Thanks !!
Are you rooted?
If yes, which method was used?
Yes Allaince will work
If you flash it, it's not going to wipe data YOU are. since you ALWAYS have to wipe data/cache before flashing a custom ROM.

You wanna flash aliance ROM over JB or dual boot?
To flash any custom ROM, yeah, you need to wipe data.
But you really need to do some reading before you attempt any ot his.

Hello!
First of all you need to unlock bootloader of your phone.
1.Then, flash custom kernel (probably this one from the rom's zip)
2.Reboot to recovery, do all 3 wipes and flash the rom. (Follow the instructions provided in thread you linked)
I think you don't have to update your phone to ICS before flashing.
Cheers
