You don't using nAa kernel right? To use Mini-cm7 2.2.0 you must use naa kernel

Like Elwino2.3 said you need to flash the nAa kernel using flashtool.
But before that you need to unlock your bootloader than flash the kernel.
Please re-read the thread carefully where you got the MiniCm7-2.2.0 ROM.
All necessary details are provided.
Don't worry it also happened to me. I got too confident coz i had flashed many other ROM's and so i just flashed the ROM without reading the instruction.
You either use Sony Ericsson Update Service to reset your phone back to the stock sony ericsson rom or you can try to directly flash the kernel.
As for myself i used the Update Service coz i thought that it was more safe.

Your device is brick, you dont use the kernel try to unbrick the device and install the right kernel with the CWM recovery

Hi if anyone has a solution to my question please dont hesitate to reply, my problem is that I tried to install a custom rom on a friends mimmi through xrecovery but the recovery keeps saying ''bad error rom not installed'' I have also succesfully unlocked bootloader and installed nAa 11 and tried to flash the rom but with no luck same error pops up i'm certain its not just a download error from the roms cause I use the same roms on my phone perfectly. I really wana get a custom rom on my friend's phone please any1 what could it be a bug or not? I can't flash anything not even a hotfix.

Have you tried redoownloading the zip file ? Just in case it is broken...
Otherwise, if you already flash nAa-11 kernel, you won't have any problems I think...

is your recovery tool xrecovery or cwm recovery. you'll be needing cwm based recovery but i believe it is included in the kernel. or you could have downloaded the wrong rom zipfile.

Hello, I'm using nAa kernel v011 & MiniCM 2.2.0, I wanted to revert back to stock 2.1, I tried SEUS and seus say my phone has the latest update installed, and there is just an exit button, can some1 help me? I tried flashing stock kernel and use SEUS but still ended with the same result

It is always suggested to take a backup of stock rom before installing any custom rom..have you taken any backups?
I did not make a backup when I flashed custom roms because I was a complete noob and I just flash a custom rom. Btw thanks for your reply.
Sent from my E10i using XDA
Download any rom for ur device which completely works with stock kernel....
Then 1st do necesary wipes
Install custom rom
Flash stoock kernel...
Boot. Properly
And then try with pc companion or SEUS
But if I'm using a custom kernel and if I flash a rom that is compatible with stock kernel wont recovery will say incompatible kernel found? I've tried that before.
Sent from my E10i using XDA
Dude I mean a rom which is compatible wit both stock kernel and custom kernel
Well then can you tell me which rom is compatible with both kernel please? Thank you

u have already installed naa kernel, meaning that you have unlocked bootloader. this article said that you can update through SEUS if you have unlocked the bootloader. i'm not experienced with x10mp bootloader issue before this but my gtab7 experienced bootloader problem after unlocked,flash the stock bootloader and solved the problem.
but you said that you have flash the stock kernel and still cant install through seus. why dont you try to reinstall seus,mybe something wrong with it. and btw,did you manage to flash stock kernel successfully?

Hello guys.
I am new here.
So i have Sony Xperia Neo V and i tried to flash some roms from here.
I did unlock bootloader officially. The easy way.
After that, i managed to flash a kernel via flashtool. Root and CWM installed as well.
I downloaded and flashed a miui rom for neo v, followed instructions (full wipe,cache,dalvik). The result: got stucked on the Sony logo screen.
I waited for like 15 minutes but nothing happened. Then i tried to boot on cwm in order to flash again or flash some other roms but i couldn't. I tried all the combination keys but i was unable to boot on cwm.
After official unlocking BL, seus won't let me update to factory settings.
So i tried to flash other files(custom and official kernels sony provided) with no success. It got stuck on flashtool at ~8% the first time.
After that nothing. Literally. No sony logo, no boot.
I can connect on flash mode (green led) but i can't do anything else.
I strongly believe that my phone is bricked now.
Is there any way to do something to unbrick?
P.S. 1 I tried FOTA unbrick tool but nothing.
P.S. 2 Sorry for my bad grammar.
Thanks in advance
Try to flash the stock ftf using flashtool!
Or else use SEUS!
That can UNbrick your phone!
Or
Flash custom kernel like
Suave, alliance,super stock,etc
Flash kernel like these via fastboot mode, not via flashtool flashmode!
That has cwm inbuilt ....and you can access recovery mode by pressing vol down button repeatedly!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
Which miui rom did you choose?
Was it a miui rom that works with stock kernel or a rom that requires a custom kernel?
My mistake was that i was trying on flashmode not fastboot.
So now I flashed Suave kernel and GB rom. It finally booted ))
Now i'm going to be more carefull.
Thanks to you guys.

Btw you made a mistake!
Suave is an Ics kernel
So use that kernel along with Ics Rom not GB good luck!

it depends on kernel, whether ur kernel supports cwm or not.
Which kernel are u on?
mostly u cnt jst flash cwm recovery over xrecovery

Xrecovery is pretty old.. with an older kernel generally.. get another rom and kernel.. they'll most probably have cwm and a faster kernel. Try cyanogenmod based ROMs. The devs usually give kernels tweaked specifically for the ROM. And they hv cwm

I'm having the same problem as OP... had xrecovery installed a long time back and now can't install newer roms.. is there a way to wipe xrecovery to install CWM?
Read my previous post.. get a kernel which has cwm

I used Flashtool 0.9.9 and installed a standard GB 2.3.3 firmware build.
I then rooted the XPERIA X10i using Force ZergRush exploit.
Then I was able to installed the recovery methods of xRecovery OR CWM from Flashtool 0.9.9
I could then boot into CWM recovery mode.
I was just being curious George as I wondered if I could do it as I was trying (without success) to installed CM10 from my SDcard. (status7...another story)
I re-installed GB 2.3.3 and went back to xRecovery as that's what my backup data restores are written with.
So, maybe an option depending on requirements and environment.
I did, like right now, attempt to re-install CWM via Flashtool 0.9.9 with xRecovery active and even though it said it'd installed successfully, a reboot into recovery shows it was still xRecovery. So I would suggest, without further research that if xRecovery is installed it can't be over written with CWM via Flashtool 0.9.9 without first re-installed the firmware and starting from scratch.

Not true at all.. u just hv to use flashtool and select "boot into specific recovery" option. Both ur recoveries must be there. also, u need a cm10 specific kernel to install it.. u can't just use ur existing GB kernel with cwm recovery n expect cm10 to work..

Brother, you flashed a jelly bean kernel so you can just run CyanogenMod10 based roms(android 4.1.2 roms)
If you're going to flash a gingerbread rom(CyanogenMod7) (android 2,3) you must use a gingerbread kernel like : "nAa 14 gingerbread for x10mini"
Good Luck
