Hi all,
Today I tried installing Hybrom v15 on my sk17i device.
Attempt 1:
Firmware : .62
Bootloader unlocked, yes through SE,
Flashed Stock kernel with boof KERNELS successfully,
Installed Hybrom sucessfully, but it is taking forever to boot!!!
OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Don't panic, calm down.
I downloaded .42 Firmware, flashed my firmware and thankfully my phone started again. But I still wanted to try Hybrom, So,
Attempt 2:
Firmware : .42
Bootloader unlocked already,
Flashed stock kernel with boof KERNELS succcessfuly,
Installed Hybrom sucessfully, but it is taking forever to boot!!!
OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Dont panic, calm down.
I have .42 Firmware so I can flash it with anytime.
But still I want Hybrom on my device.
So any suggestion what am I doing wrong?
And also which kernel should I use?
And need help of pros around here badly.
I am developer but Android is like new turf for me.
So any help with resource is appreciated!!!
Thanks & Regards.
Wipe data....wipe cache...wipe dalvik cache.. and try with other kernel like rage kernel..
Sent from my ST15 using xda premium
Installed Rage kernel 3.0, but the result is same.
Stuck at booting from last 15minutes, now I am giving up my hopes on Hybrom.
Though thanks for reply.
I have a LWW, Hybrom has worked for me with Rage Kernel, X Kernel and booff's own kernel.
My idea would also be, that before install, factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and then install zip from sdcard.
Tried everything , but no luck so far..
Also tried NeroDriod n MIUI, but same problem.
It is taking forever to boot.
I guess I have to settle down with custom kernel only.

same problem for my mini(ST15i), cant boot after installing hybrom
First boot usually takes longer to create new Dalvik cache.
I have used many custom ROMs on my LWW, never had that kind of problem.
Could you confirm, if your bootloader is really unlocked? Dialer, *#*#7378423#*#*, Service info, Configuration, what does it say about bootloader?

In worst case, how long possibly it can take to boot for the first time?
And Yes, bootloader is unloacked.

Got same problem with my LwW!
Ihad problem yesterday.
Was going from hybrom v15 to v16.
Factory/cache wipe and dalvik wipe, installed hybrom v16.
Phone started but hangs and reboots if i try install apk´s, from market or from sd card, same problem.
Ok, giave it a second try, flashed again and same problem.... hmmmm
going back to v15, and wtf, same problem now on v15 rom
ok started searching and reading, and found A2SDGUI is the bad boy on phone
I have 2 partitions on my sd card and forgot to clean, format or wipe or whatever you like to do, to clean it.
Phone was still charging battery for next try, i formated sd card and then partition it ( 8gb card and gave 1 gb to secon partition ) copy hybrom v16 to the card only.
After flashing hybrom v16 works like a charm, but A2SDGUI still says Apps on SD but info tab shows nothing, all is empty... i tryed 4 different fileformats to format second partition on my SD card, but nothing shows up in A2SDGUI, so i deinstalled it and use now Link2SD, and it works like charm now on my ST15i Mini
Wont able to boot after any custom rom!
i tried to install several custom roms like nero droid following all the instructions...wiping out cache, factory settings, dalvic cache...etc
....wont boot....just show the sonyericsson logo and hangs there......wont even boot into recovery.....i flashed the roms 4 to 5 times.....kept my phone on for 12 hrs (whole night).......still stuck at that screen........
installed custom ics rom also......wont install it...gave some version error st17a........i knew i downloaded for sk17i but shows this error for ics rom installation...........

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.
I have a week trying to install a new ROM to my phone (xperia mini pro). I follow the instructions, install the recommended kernel for each Rom. When i finish installing the ROM i reboot the phone put the kernel logo and don't do anything else (the last time i let it in the kernel logo for 10 hours and it didn't work).
I fix it using Wotan server. But what i really care about is that i want to prove new Rom, so if someone can help me i will be really thankful.
PS: Sorry if you think my english is bad, is because my main language is not english

Hello,
I'm having the same problem, I don't get it at all. I bought my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) yesterday and so far I have been only able to flash stock rom and MiniCMSandwich AOSP Android 4.0.4 RC3, both of which work fine.
With all other roms I get stuck on the logo (depending on kernel - Sony, Sony Ericsson or Free Xperia logo). I do full wipe, dalvik cache etc. but nothing helps.
So far I tried: FXP 117 7.2.0, FXP 117 9.0.0 and XROM™ ICS RC7.
I tried different basebands, flashing in different order etc., no matter what I get stuck on the logo.
Could someone post a detailed step-by-step instruction how to flash either FXP or the XROM on the Mini Pro? Which baseband should I use (and how do I know it's the baseband's fault when the rom doesn't work), what about Wi-Fi etc.
I flashed Galaxy S+ (I9001) before and didn't have any of these issues.

use baseband 64, with baseband 70 people are complaining about battery drain problems
guide for installing cm7 is on original thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16822393&postcount=3
I do exactly as it says. I had to flash stock rom before that, because update zip wouldn't work if I started from AOSP (or if I wanted to apply it after flashing FXP)
BTW, do I really have to flash stock ftf (kernel+baseband), which overwrites my CWM each time I want to flash FXP? I hate losing CWM.
Anyway, I did this:
1. I put the update.zip on the sdcard
2. I flashed the boot.img I unpacked from the update.zip using fastboot (went fine)
3. I applied update.zip using CWM
4. I did factory reset from CWM and wiped dalvik cache
After reboot - it hangs on the Free Xperia logo. I also tried flashing Rage kernel 2.8 with the same result. Oh, and does it matter if I flash kernel before or after the rom?

rage kernel is not compatible with cm7,
mostly kernel is flashed before the rom, but either way should work i guess..

That's because for some stupid reason you formatted the system partition, which must not be done on some ROM installations.
The CM7 installation requires info from the system folder, but since you formatted it, you don't have the info on your phone and installation cannot be installed.
Reinstall stock firmware, follow the same procedure, but do NOT format system, but do make factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Well, I was asked to try formatting /system.
Ok, again then. BTW, is there a pre-rooted .62 stock rom somewhere? I only see .69, which isn't good AFAIK.
Today i was installing ics theme in my Neo V, accidently i deleted framwork-res.apk from system root. I got many errors and after restarting it gets stucked at boot-loop.

The main idea is to restore your framework-res.apk. U can use aroma explorer if you have installed CWM from boot. If u havent, u should unlock your bootloader, there are several methods, i would suggest the unofficial through s1 tool with testpoint. Do you have a custom ROM build, or the official that came with your phone?
Take your battery off, start flashtool, put battery back in DO NOT power up.
Connect to pc when flashtool tells you holding back button.

thanks guys for replying.
but I don't want to unlock bootloader. so I flashed it completely using flash tool. And had to give-up my all app updates. Now working fine...
Install cwm this time, even if your staying on stock, so that if something like this happens again, atleast it's easier to recover without loosing data.

Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine
back to cwm again.

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.
please help.
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :
1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.
if this didn't work,
2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.
but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck
Hello one and all....I'm in a deep problem.. Required urgent reply.I had rooted my phone successfully with flashtool and also installed ics stock rom on it.I usually dont install any mods or roms.. but I saw real ics and installed it.but it had not responded in the page where it asked details aboutt wipe data and others..but it only responds to the buttons back and next i pressed next and it had installed rom succesfully. Then cwm rebooted and then I had strucked on sony logo...I tried many times but no use..It cant also open cwm recovery....
Real ICS (full) is unlocked BL specific i think; you have to flash original firmware i guess, use PC companion to repair.
Can you enter flashmode? If you can then just re-flash it with Stock ICS Firmware,Oh did you install a costum kernel before Flashing real ICS? Most CosROM requires a costum Kernel installed

Go back to stock ROM, and root your phone again. Then unlock your bootloader and try flashing a custom kernel (I'd recommend KRsH Kernel). In CWM, do a factory reset and wipe everything (dalvik-cache, battery stats, EVERYTHING). Proceed to flashing the Real ICS ROM (choose "install zip from sdcard", not "apply update").

One more thing - the first boot takes quite a while (it took me about 5 minutes or so). I'm also running Real ICS.

I think you must install the custom kernel before flashing the rom.

You can install a Xperia S based rom, like Real ICS, or install mods like Xperia S Launcher
Try these steps:
1. DOWNGRADE to GB .58 firmware using FLASHTOOL
2. ROOT your phone, and install a ROOT SHELL
3. Use FLASHTOOL to update to ICS 4.0.4 (DO NOT wipe user data)
4. ROOT your phone
5. UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER
6. FLASH a CUSTOM KERNEL (KRsH KERNEL is recommended for Real ICS)
7. Enter CWM
8. In CWM, do a FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE PARTITIONS, WIPE DALVIK CACHE and WIPE BATTERY STATS (DALKVIK CACHE and BATTERY STATS are found in ADVANCED)
9. Choose INSTALL.ZIP FROM SD CARD and choose the Real ICS zip file
Seriously, the first boot is ridiculously long. 3 minutes may not be enough. Try waiting for 10 or 15 minutes.
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
