So I downloaded mods like:
-Wave lock
-Reboot Power menu
-Call Screen
-Camera HQ mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574676
Then I put them onto SD card turned off Phone Got to the CWM and then I choosed opion to instal from zip and installed all mods then rebooted device... Was it caused by incompatible Mods or by som mistake when installing via CWM? Could you please also post here some great mods if u know some? thank you!

Since i cannot tell you which one is causing problems, I suggest you to install only one of them. Try it, and if your phone works fine install teh second one. Again, if it's all right try the third one. until you find out which one gives you problems.

Installed all those at once in a single reboot?
Re-flash your stock rom and redo things up. Some files might be not compatible when installed all at once.
BTW, did you notice this post/notice on draco's OP?
Caution: If You own LWW, use Lasan MOD to avoid bootloop.
I'm guessing this is for one responsible for your bootloop:
[MOD] Reboot Power Menu and QuickPanel MDPI for XPERiA ICS 4.0.4 [UDPATE: 11.06.2012]
Final advice is to install this instead as it has the same function and verified to work on LWW. Download the (mini_mod_v1.8 for 2.3.4) version.

there is an older wave lock mod which bootloops the phone,
there should have been an undo zip then you should flash the mod again

[Q] [q] please help asap i think iv broke my beloved x10 :(

hi There
PLEASE HELP ASAP I THINK IV BROKE MY BELOVED X10
Im new to all this Mod stuff and i have no experience at ....... But I LOVE this Theme i found , its amazing!!!!!! so i rooted my phone using super oneclick, i then found RECOVERY, also got the theme [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM 2.0.2.A.0.24 + Battery Circle] [new-v0.6]
Installed everything it all and was great!! everything went smooth, but some things were missing on the theme like the new swipe button, the wallpaper, the new clock etc so...... i then installed a previous version [X.Gbread for 2.1 Custom ROM AOSP], thinking that version had the bits i needed and the later version i installed first was a add-on, and now the phone will not boot up, it gets past the Sony Ericsson but wont boot past the Nexus S Bootanimation, then it restarts itself, and starts all over again, i dont know what to do as i know NOTHING about flashing phones. PLEASE HELP
Phone specs - what i had before
X10i
2.1 Update1
build no. 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted with SuperOneClick
Also busybox
Many Thanks
Leon
************* update i can get the phone to the Xrecovery screen, ive tried reinstalling both of the themes but it gets to the lock screen and when the lock comes off, a box comes up with a triangle exclamation mark on it that says 'Weeks' on it and underneath it says "year" with a button that says "%1$s %2$s" and when you press it nothing happens apart from sometimes the writing year changes to years, after a minute it reboots and does the same thing.
does anybody know how i could sort this out???
Have i 'bricked' the phone?? if so what does that mean and can i sort it?? would i be able to send it in for repair??
or how i could i flash i back to the original SE theme, with out it starting up????
hopefully somebody can save me because at the moment i have not got a phone and i love my x10 sooooo much!!!!!!
i knew i should have just left it alone!!!!!!!!
Thanks Leon
i would recommend you to do
1. a full wipe using the recovery
2. re-install the theme u wanted. (perhaps u should re-download the theme u wanted)
btw, did u install using the option "install custom zip"?
if those above does not helps,
1. re-install the firmware using SEUS or flashtools from Bin4ry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201&highlight=flash.
2. root it and install xRecovery and then install the themes u wanted.
You'll have to really flash. The problem here was that you mixed up to FW (.24 & .504) when you installed the first theme... it clearly says for which version it is my friend....
So reflash to any ROM you want but check first the theme you're aplying and also if you have Xrecovery do a backup before any Mod so you don't have to reflash again...
Have fun you're not the first nor the last with this I've been there done that more than once....

i was thinking a full wipe but im sure i read somewhere on this thread that it needs something to work like a basis program and cant work from nothing (sorry im not techinical) - if you think it will be best to do that then i will. oh and yes i did install using the option "install custom zip"

I have done a full wipe then installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from sd card.
I believe for my version no. 2.0.A.0.504 it came up with the same box as before, unable to get onto my homescreen but can see it in the background.
i dont know if i will be able to reinstall the SE firmware as it looks very complicated. im in England and it looks like i would have to use the Nordic software???? im not sure please could somebody let me know of any easier way of installing SE firmware back on???
thanks you so much for this

Hi
I have the Same problem. I can't flash my ST18i. Always fail. Not Boot-up. Only Sony log. How did you solve this problem?

[Q] Sony Xperia U- Cant boot in CWM mode.

Hi,
I have successfully rooted my Xperia U phone (with ICS 4.0.1), and also installed the CWM.
I have downloaded the experience 2.1.zip rom file and placed the same in internal memory also.
Now when I restart my phone to be able to boot in recovery mode, I am not able to do so.
As soon as press power button, multi-coloured illumination doesn't take place in LED bar. As soons as Sony logo appears, I start pressing the 'Volume Down' button repeatedly, but nothing happens. It simply goes to Xperia logo animation screen and boots the phone with older ROM only.
Am I missing something. Please help. I want to install custom ROM to upgrade to JB, but I am not able to do so as I am not able to boot my phone in Recovery mode, which is required to flash the current ROM and installing new ROM on top of it (as per m knowledge).
Please Help. Urgent.
If video can be uploaded for the solution, i would highly appreciate the work and effort becoz I got frustrated now after following so many procedures given on internet to root / install CWM / boot in recovery. I am done with first two things: Rooting and Installing CWM. I struggling hard to reboot my phone in CWM mode
Thanks in advance.

those that have locked bootloader after the flash of a rom lose the recovery,you have to reinstall

You better go unlock your bootloader. Trust me, it's better because custom kernels have CWM. But if you want to install CWM your LB phone, it can be done too, by using RecoverX on Windows. Just post your questions here again if you have more problems

2. All settings are related to ICS stock only
Only look and feel is changed as like in xperia Z.

[Q][XperiaP][JB][LockedBL] CWM v6 restore hangs Xperia P at sony logo upon cold boot

Hey All,
I tried looking up answers here and via google, but all of them refer to bootloops/hangs after flashing a rom.
I've been using the prerooted JB rom via the guide given by Pandemic . Following the guide to the letter, the rom is working fine, and the recovery is accessible after installing via atis112's method. However, the problem I've run into is that whenever I restore a backup through CWM after flashing a mod (tested with Cybershot mod and ACiD audio mod), my phone hangs upon cold booting.
Immediately after restoring the backup, the phone boots into the restored OS without any problems, and hot boots (Power button + Volume Up button) also work fine - when I power off the phone and then start it up, it hangs on the sony logo (no bootloop, and can't access CWM recovery), after which I have to use flashtool and follow Pandemic's guide again to get JB. I've tried the following methods to see if anything changes, but the result is the same:
Method 1:
1- Backup through CWM recovery
2- Flash mod and wipe cache+dalvik cache
3- Reboot and test mod
4- Reboot and access recovery
5- Restore created backup
Result: Hangs at cold boot
Method 2:
1-4: same as method 1
5- Advance Restore > restore only /data from created backup
Result: Hangs at cold boot
Method 3:
1-4: same as method 1
5- Normal restore
6- Wipe data/factory reset (preserves any changes on /system, wanted to see if /data was the culprit)
Result: Hangs at cold boot​
The above 3 methods were also tried by wiping cache+dalvik cache after restoring the backup, but that had no effect either. Has anyone else been having the same or a similar problem? Can someone kindly refer me to a solution to this?
Edit 1: The phone was finally able to boot into android after about hanging at the sony logo for about 20-25 mins. Tested restoring various other restore points and each time the phone hung for about 20 minutes or so. After that initial boot, the phone boots up within a minute as always. Still haven't been able to narrow down the problem causing the delay on the first boot.
@H4R81N63R bro,I think that's because you installed cybershot mod and AC!D . Try with a clean install of the rom and try installing only cybershot without intsalling AC!D and check if boots without issues. Not sure if this causes the issue but test it if you want.
Thanks for the suggestion. Flashing works fine and the phone boots up without issues. Its just that whenever I restore any backup I had made before flashing the mod, the phone takes a long time at the sony logo only during cold boots (kind of annoying really).

Try backup a fresh flashed Rom with only cybershot mod installed and check if restore works.

Tried that as well, still the same. The hang ups seem to vary in time though, sometimes its just 10 mins, other times its about 30 mins. Is it possible to somehow see the processing that android is doing during bootup to see where its hanging up (similar to desktop OS'es)?

Don't know how do that mate. Did you try using a custom kernel with cwm5?

Can't - have a locked bootloader (might unlock it if someone figures out how to bring back the drm keys, or to circumvent them). It's possible that the devs might know something about this issue, but I'm not sure who to call on.

Hmm, looked into your link and another, but it seems DRM keys are lost in the process - I'm partial to Bravia
Hopefully a dev might have some more info regarding the boot hang up.
Hello people, since today i have the exact same problem as the topic maker
I am on stock Jelly Bean 6.2.A.1.100 with thesliding XP kernel (tried v8.3 and v9 beta with same results)
I am really frustrated right now because i don't have cybershot mode nor acid, it started to happen today after i tried a custom rom and didn't liked it so i did a restore with the backup i made .... :/

I haven't been able to find a solution yet. For now, the only thing that works is to boot it up so that it gets stuck on the sony/kernel logo and wait till it boots into the OS (may take 10 mins, or may take 40, can't seem to find a pattern). I do tend to attach the power cable just to be sure that it doesn't run out the battery.
A little off topic and near to your problem, cybershot is only supporting ICS roms at the moment, but I have found that their 4.7.2 and 5.1.1 work with the JB based MoonBreakers v3.5 rom that I have. As for AC!D, haven't been able to make their mod work on JB yet (even the universal one supporting JB 4.1 and above doesn't work).
Hello all, i just wanted to share with you that i have successfully fixed the problem and here is what i did :
I just used Flashtool and flashed the latest stock JB FW which was on the phone earlier, but i unticked the "Wipe data" option, after that i flashed again a custom kernel and now the phone boots normal and i didn't loose any data
Actually that doesn't fix the problem - we are talking about restore because we have multiple mods installed as well - we can't just keep reinstalling all of them every time we test something new.

Yeah you are right the problem will surely be there again if i do a restore, but anyhow now i don't have the problem and i am happy for now
I have same problem.
After restored backup, device booted successfully only first reboot.

Sorry mate, I haven't found any solution but to leave it alone (plugged in with the charger of course) for up to 40 mins while it waits at the logo before booting up

Hmmm I had this too.
What if you install the CWM for LB reboot and restore again?
I had this too couple of days ago

Is the next cold boot faster then? If yes, I could live with that.
@ChikeD
Nope, still the same. Even with my second phone with unlocked bootloader I'm stuck at Sony logo after restore
I somewhere read that immediately after restoring the backup reflashing the kernel should help, but that's only an option for UB I guess.
Didn't try that yet.

And resoring after flashing stock?
I would have tried that but I didn't realized the problem is related to the kernel.
