Hello iam unable to go into cwr 3.0 to flash cm7 , I tried few methods with rom manager ( i.e flashing a file then looking for cwr 3.0 in rom manager/ all cwm recoveries but no luck ) is there any direct update.zip for cwr 3? please help
Thanks
Is your problem that you don't have the clockwork recovery console loading vs the standard one?
What are you flashing from? 2.1, 2.2?
Either I'm misunderstanding or your question is a little vague or missing details, not meant rudely of course.
He is trying to flash CM7.
Dude, you do not need CWM 3 to flash CM7, you need to do this:
1.Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!
2.Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
3.Do a Nandroid backup!
4.WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5.Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
6.Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)

You can do it with CWM 2, just put the rom on the root of the sd card, wipe everything and flash.
go into Rom manager premium and choose flash clockwork. Then choose Vibrantmtd, then choose 3X NOT 2X and bam ur done! u have 3x clockwork now and now download cm7 rom. On ur very cm7 nightlie always wipe data and wipe dalvik and backup rom. When u update ur second rom u will only have to wipe dalvik and backup rom. Dont forget gapps!
Guys thanks for ur replies, I am on cm7 but iam unable to install other gingerbread roms , as I watch lot of videos iam missing the Samsung player on cm7, so wanted some leaked gingerbread Samsung custom roms n they need CWR 3. I will be going back to stock 2.1 then root n install rom manager , now how to get clockworkmod 3? Thanks
follow my above post!
Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

hi,
I was on CM 9 nightly http://www.cyanogenmod.org/devices/sony-ericsson-xperia-ray
and just tryed to upgrade for the newest version there !
(copy last version to sd, wipe cache - dalvik, flash, reboot)
And now, i'm stucked on freeXperia logo
cant even flash something else (assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")...)
Have you flashed the latest kernel (should be included in the zip)?
If this doesn't work, wippe data/factory reset and flash it again.
If you get the getprop error, open MetaInf-com-google-android-updater-script and delete the first 3 lines (they start with getprop). Pack zip again and flash it :good:

well, i dont know for the kernel : i did (like for my GS2) install zip for sd card, then choose the the CM9 version. Isn't the kernel flashed same time?
i tryed wipe data/factory reset, the flash doesnt work
the MetaInf-com-google.... solution works : i can flash it again without the error.
Thanks bro!
Kernel must be flashed via flashtool or fastboot. How to do that (flashing the boot.img) is in the tutorial for installing custom roms/kernels in my signature :good:

No, xperia phone aren like sammy phone which got separate recovery and kernel partition. In fact, by default stock, xperia phone doesnt even have any recovery. The kernel must be flashed via fastboot before flashing rom. Recovery integrated into kernel ramdisk.
Please help!! I have searched all over this forum but i still can't find a solution to my problem
First of all, I'm still new in android modding so please forgive me if I don't have sufficient information regarding this question.
I have an Xperia neo, with the original ICS firmware (4.1.B.0.587), locked bootloader, rooted with this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327
and I use the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509 because my phone won't go to the recovery mode if I use the x-parts CMW package
I have tried installing the Zelly Cream v1.20 custom rom by following the exact instruction for locked bootloader, which is :
Installation instruction for Zelly Cream FULL ROM
Before installing this rom, make sure you have a complete nandroid backup and you
have performed all the necessary steps, otherwise you may get bootloop. I will not be
responsible for any kind of damage or loss to your phone, do this at your own risk. Read
carefully and follow the steps to install the rom.
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
5. Wipe battery stats under advanced menu.
6. Format data under mount and storage menu.
7. Format system under mount and storage menu.
8. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
9. Install zip from sd card.
10. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
11. Uncheck "Reboot device" after installation completed and click on next to go
back to CWM.
12. Now reboot your phone..

But my phone keeps rebooting (boot loops) so i had to reinstall the original ICS firmware using this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239 . After that i re-rooted my phone, restored my nandroid backup, and tried installing Zally Cream v1.20 again. But I still get boot loops and now I'm getting desperate (so in summary i have bricked/boot looped my phone twice trying to install the Zelly Cream) :silly:
So can anyone please help me??
Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
After flashing stock firmware why did u restored nandroid backup??
Flash stock firmware using flashtool with full wipe
Root it, install cwm
Goto cwm & wipe cache, data, delvik cache, format system, data cache
Now flash the rom
Reboot

Unlock bootloader... Fastboot boot.img
Then reboot to recovery by switching of and continuously pressing volume down
Then wipe data/factory reset
Install zip (select rom zip...)
Is it clear buddy?
You also need to flash kernel which is inside the zip provided by munjeni. To do that you need to have unlocked bootloader.
