did you read good and do this?
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip to sdcard
step 2 - 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)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3 - when phone is booting (first 5 seconds) press volume down key several times to enter recovery and choose apply update from sdcard
WARNING - if you used another rom (stock or custom) you have to wipe data or device will not boot

Hi
When you were installing CM7 on clockworkmod did you remeber to wipe everything? before you install the rom, on the first screen of clockworkmod you see wipe data and wipe cache. Wipe them both then go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache and battery stats, after that install CM7. So what should you do:
1. turn of phone
2. connect to pc on fastboot and flash kernel with built in recovery (Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
3. now disconnect phone and go to cwm and wipe everything like i said
4. install cm7
if works hit thanks ^^
btw. sony ericsson logo, seems like you didnt even flash kernel?
Since u are saying u seeing sony ericsson logo seems u didnt flash kernel properly, use flashtool in xperia neo dev section makes things way easier.
Good luck bro hope this helps !

just flash that kernel via fastboot. don't use apps to flash kernels
fastboot flash boot nameOfKernel.img
I think you forgot to flash the custom kernel,cos if you flashed the CM kernel it should not show Sony Ericsson boot logo,it should show CM boot logo
update
I flashed .42 firmware again using flashtool and the device is now working
Now i realized that the problem was that i didn't properly unlock the bootloader...what i want now is a way to unlock it..bcz everytime i try it gives me this error
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.003s
I searched the forum and tried this thread

Hi there!
So I got my girlfriends XU in my hands. By default Gingerbread was on it, and as the instructions said I've flashed it with flashtool to ICS and thought about I will flash a custom rom BUT: I dont have and fastboot (sound funny but listen
- When I first flashed ICS to GB, there WAS fastboot on the device, beacuse I've put to fastboot to flash the ICS.
- I have an Xperia Go, and when I try to enter into fastboot everything goes okay, and flashtool says Device connected with fastboot, but with the XU it doesn't do anything.
- Yes I've installed all of the drivers (for every SEMC device) from the drivers folder in flashtool.
- I did some reboots with the PC and taken out the battery for like 10 mins (I mean the XU battery )
- The device is works (isn't hard-or softbricked), as it boots up, and useable, also it boots into flashmode (with the green led line)
- I've tried with "vol +" and USB plugging, and "vol +" and power and USB plugging too.
- When I try to boot into fastboot, my PC doesn't do anything (I mean no notifications, no beep sound, absolutely nothing!)
- Yes I've also tried to reinstall Flashtool program (of course the latest one) and also removed the device drivers, and reinstalled them correctly
- I can flash FTF official roms with flashtool.
- I've tried with 3 different USB cables (2 Sony, and 1 Samsung)
- I've tried the 'fastboot reboot bootloader' command with the device turned on, and i supposed to send the device into HBOOT where the Fastboot automatically will be selected, but the only thing it does is reboot to the system.
So everything works normal, except I don't have fastboot (and I would like to flash custom roms so i would really appreciate it )
Any ideas about it?
UPDATE:
- If I flash back a GB rom and try to enter into fastboot mode, flashtool says:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
-
R: ST25i won't fastboot (all drivers installed correctly)
Please no put these on DEV section
My bad I'm sorry.
An admin please move it for me

Don't Worry Dude.
Ok dude dont worry... had the same prob when i first rooted
ok first you power down your phone
then charge it for like a day
then go into fastboot
using hassoon2000 rooting tool unlock the bootloader (dont worry when you unlock boot loader it will give you a stock rom)
then get the CWM recovery with OFF MODE CHARGING working ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092741 )
dont use the one included in hassoon2000 2.3 all in one rooting kit because off mode charging is not working (its an older version)
then after you flash recovery turn on your phone into the UI and your good
and if you want to put custom rom i recommend Android Revolution HD ( much more stable than other roms)
and if you want to flash ROM remember to WIPE YOUR CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE(dalvik cache in advanced menu):good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good: good luck!

Thank you so much, i will give it a try
if that does not work you can RE-lock your device, then boot into Bootloader, then run the official RUU for your device and return to stock. Then re-unlock your device and reroot usin toolkit. Also you could flash a recovery through Fastbbot using
$ fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img

I accidentally missed a step when flashing a custom ROM onto my HOX+, and now it hangs at the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen every time (but I can still access CWM recovery and bootloader). I know that all I need to do is re-lock the bootloader and use the most recent RUU, but I cannot get my computer to detect my phone to re-lock the bootloader. Is there another way to re-lock the bootloader? If not, what should I do?

You unlocked it or you missed unlock step?
What OS?
Do you have android drivers on your pc?

Hello,
I am a complete noob when it comes to dealing with phones.
I have a Sony Xperia Sola (firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 ICS)
I downloaded Rom Manager via Play Store and want to flash a custom rom.
But whenever I try to select the option "Reboot and Install", only a normal boot happens.
How do I reboot and install the rom?? I have tried the button combos (power+volume - and volume +) but nothing works.
Please help!
PS
I am
-rooted
-bootloader unlocked
-clockworkmod recovery via recoverX
-rom is [ROM] Unoficial JellyBean stockrom 6.2.A.0.400 Sola
I understand that the rom you mentioned is recently ported and also deleted from development section of sola (munjeni rom).
According to his instruction, you need to do following thing:
Enter fastboot mode (off phone then hold volume up and plug cable)
Flash boot.img in zip Rom file to phone (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Turn on phone and enter recovery menu (on phone then spam the volume down)
Do the clear data, cache... then install the zip file (rom)
Done.
Why was the rom deleted from the development section? Any clue? It was such an useful rom (using it myself)
And no, the original instruction only said to flash the zip file. Not fastboot the kernel before that. Fastbooting is only necessary I you get boot loops on normal flashing

I finally got into recovery mode, but when trying to flash the JB rom, it says something about a (Status 7 error) Flash aborted. how did you successfully flash yours?
First, you flash the stock ICS rom of sola. It will create the compatible partitions for JB in sola.
Second, you enter recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.... (maybe flash boot.img is required to entering this mode)
Finally, you install the zip file (rom).
Good luck.

I have flashed stock ICS, but even after I wiped/factoy reset, it still says Status 7 error
Maybe you should try to flash the boot.img in the zip file of munjeni before entering recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.

You flash in fastboot mode, or with recovery, but you must have unlocked bootloader, or it will brick your phone.

Well. There are few simple ways.
First is can you enter the recovery?
If not, then just use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img". As boot.img select some kernel with custom recovery (doesn't matter if lollipop, kitkat etc.). After that just flash some rom and optionally a proper kernel for it.
However if your bootloader is locked you may just flash an ftf with flashtool.

If you don't have unlocked bootloader, then fastboot is useless for you.
As they guide users over your post in a locked bootloader just flash stock firmware for your model device with Flashtool.

Good Mornig
:crying: I installed the latest Flyme rom on my Togari but now i can´t boot in to my recovery.
But if I boot into the Rom I don´t have Problems.
I only cant Boot to the Recovery and also i don´t can boot into fastboot or flashmode.
Sry for my English but im from Germany
If i try to boot into flashmode only the led is going for 1 sec. yellow and my phone turns off.
Also if i try to boot into fastboot, my Phone vibrates 3 times and then it turns off.
If I try to boot with the NDR Utils App into the Revovery, my Phone only makes a Bootloop.
I used this Rom :FlymeOS_4.5.1.1R C6833/02
and here is the thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-flymeos4-5-1-1r-c6833-02-t3165834
ADB is installed. The Phone is also Rooted. for Recovery i Used NDR Utils.
Thanks for Help
NDR utilities....I guess you are using NUTS XZU dual recovery well mate it clearly said that whenever you flash a rom using xz dual recovery....you will lose your recovery...there was a flashasble zip which needed to be flashed after flashing rom which won't erase your recovery
Now regarding your fastboot or flashmode.... Are the latest and proper drivers install....don't care about the led flashing does the PC detect the device In flashmode? If yes just reflash stock back using androxyede flashtool and make sure you install the new bootloader next time via Emma which has a separate recovery partition in it.....regards if you need any help feel free to PM
You can flash dual recovery or download twrp manager, follow instructions and you'll be granted twrp recovery
