HI lads,im feacing a problem here.I was trying to instal NeroDroid rom,I did not wipe data and factory reset before and my phone is stock on sonyericcson logo so I cant go to CWM to do a restore,I also cant repare software using SEUS,it says your software is moded.Please help me
Most custom ROMs need custom kernel. Flash stock ROM back with wotanserver or flashtool, unlock bootloader, install custom kernel. Most kernels already have CWM, so just enter it, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache(definitely or you might get problems) and install ROM.

Hello, im having trouble getting any custom ics rom to boot after flashing any custom ics kernal, I can flash a custom kernal and load up stock ics rom but then as soon as I flash a custom rom I get stuck on the boot animation screen and the rom doesnt boot up. Does anyone have any suggestions why its doing this? its rather annoying being stuck on cm7 when ics is the way forward. Ive tried every custom ics rom and kernal and the only one that works is stock, my bootloader is unlocked, ive ran out of ideas.
if u wana flash a custom rom first flash kernel and then flash custom rom by cwm. and make a full data wipe-factory reset
and also Wipe cache and Dalvik cache before flashing the rom

Hey,man.
Since you've unlocked your bootloader,I think you are able to flash any custom roms successfully.
So,did you fully wipe after flash the kernel?
take FXP rom for example:flash boot.img inside the zip -> go to CWM and fully wipe , install the rom -> reboot and enjoy.
Before flashing a rom, you are supposed to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. If you are flashing roms like ExMIUI or MiniCmSandwich you will also have to wipe system.

Im not new to installing custom roms, I know the procedure in installing a custom rom, the problem is no custom ics rom boots up using any custom kernal.

I do not know if this will work or not, but you can try flashing stock FTF file for your device and then go through the procedure of flashing kernel and rom again.
do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system
believe me I have tried everything and nothing works, cm7 works fine with a custom kernal so I dont know what the problem could be.

Did you follow the instruction:
1. flash kernel
2. go to cwm and do wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then go to mounts and storage and do format system + delete from sd card all folders and files with dots
3. flash rom (if rom has the aroma installer follow the aroma instructions)
4. reboot phone (first boot is up to 10 minutes
is ferakernel possible for stock rom?
i made a nanodroid recovery for my feralab rom.
i want to change my phone to stock to give it to my brother for a while.
but, i dont want to change my kernel and lose my recovery
so, is it possible to have ferakernel for stock 2.3.3 rom?
i have unlocked bootloader
i dont have to do all these if i can wipe user data from feralab rom, is that possible? (meaning as if u just newly installed the rom) like master reset
then i can just give my phone without doing any major changes
Yeah I think you can flash it!!!!

Why you open another thread, when your question is related to previous about Ferarom???
If you just want to wipe your data, you can do it with your Xrecovery or try option in your phone Settings/privacy/Factory data reset. First try phone option, and then check if you wipe your data with that. If not, try to wipe with Xrecovery.

thx guys. i can confirm that ferakernel works on atock rom
I own wt19i running stock 4.0.4 .587 on stock kernel 2.6.32.9-perf and I have locked bootloader.
I rooted it without problems and installed CWM. Yesterday I tried to flash icecream pureness V4 by sandy7 (for both BL), everything went ok, i cleared everything in CWM and in aroma picked my phone + locked bootloader, but after restart my phone stuck on sony logo...
I did tried to do it second time but result was the same. So i thought it may be problem with rom zip, so i tried to flash jjHybriD AOSP ROM by stanlin salu (again for both BL). This time phone passed through sony logo and stucked on walkman animation. For the third time I was forced to flash stock room via flashtool.
So what did I wrong/what could get wrong? I made root -> installed CWM -> wiped everything in CWM -> installed rom locked BL with success -> fail
Bonus question: do stock GB and ICS use same kernel? Becouse in topics about downgrade from ICS to GB I can't see anything about changing kernel.

Don't just wipe everything in cwm, see what's told in the thread of the rom
E.g. sometimes you get a bootloop if you wipe /system when it's not required!

Wipe factory

And dalvik cache.
And than flash the rom
Select ur device in aroma installer.
For small apps..
It should be flashed after the rom boots up into homescreen..

Ok... it worked... in order you wrote it.
Hey everyone,
So after struggling around a day or so, i finally unlocked the BL, rooted and flashed recovery by artas (thank u ^_^ for this awesome tool).
So i would like to know what are the do's and don'ts when flashing custom roms.
My usual procedure is.
1.Wipe data and cache
2.Flash new rom
3. Wipe data and cache.
4. Reboot phone and wait.
If there are additional steps or uneccessary steps. Do point out
Thanks
U should flash cwmtouch.IMG and not use artas cwm after u unlock bootloader..artas cwm doesn't seem to work with some ROMs I've found..
I do it this way
Wipe dalvik cache.. Cache
Format system
Wipe data factory reset
Flash ROM zip.. Flash Google apps..
Reboot

Could you link me to the cwm u mention?
Also I've been stuck on PA 4.3 and cannot access my sd card via usb, drivers always fail installation
Ill revert back to stock probably and then re-start everything...
if you flash kdz to stock make sure to use a rom that acknowledges the bootloader is unlocked or the adb reboot oem-unlock wont work.
i had that problem and just went back to v20b on my p769 then flashed recovery and rom and everything worked fine
