Hi Guys,
So I'm currently on 4.0.4 with Root access and an unlocked bootloader, but I'm a little unclear as to how to get to CM9,
I know I need to get a recovery, but which one? DoomRecovery or FreeXperia? I've gotten as far as getting FreeXperia to work, but then I can't boot any further and I'm stuck in recovery, is that how it's supposed to work? Do I need to flash a Kernel, then the CM9 rom zip? Which Kernel, DoomKernel?
I'm just not sure what order and what option to use, I've had a few attempts and each time I get stuck somewhere.
Thanks for any and all help,

Go check out the CM threads under development section, there are some good posts about the proper way to install.

All You needs are:
1.Recovery FreeXperia(recovery-nozomi.img) <= flash it first
https rapidshare.com/#!download|170p8|628034582|recovery-nozomi.img
2.XPERIA S CM10 alpha FXP130 <= cm10 rom. INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD
http ul.to/4r52vkmc
3.CM10 GAPPS ADDON <= google apps relate. use recover mode to install it.

excuse for i cant give u direct link as a new users

Also, please bear in mind that CM9 is VERY unstable and has been developly abandoned, and CM10 is also in alpha stage and has some bugs.

Hi!
I just flashed CM9 and a custom kernel on my Xperia Mini Pro (after some noob trouble), but I'm still having some problems.
I already did some searching but really can't find anything that works.
1. I can't turn on wifi, don't know if that's because of cm9 of the kernel
2. My hardware keyboard is now querty, and for some reason the option to change the mapping of the keys in cm9 doesn't work..
3. I can't change anything in the processor configuration
Help would much be appreciated!
Greetings,
Gi11i4m
You have flashed which kernel??

You have to flash the cm9 kernel. The boot.img that's included in the zip for cm9. You can't use the Karmarush kernel.
I think I already tried that.. Worked with cm7 but not with 9. How should I flash the kernel now? Can I just flash it or should I return to stock rom first? Or backup my data, do a factory reset and flash the both again?
Also, in the update guide on the cm wiki, it says to use this command:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
But I read a lot about people just using the command without "-i 0xfce"
so fastboot flash boot boot.img
what's the difference?
It's the same command. Just open the CM9 zip and extract boot.img, then flash it using fastboot.
CM9 kernel has some problem, it is not succesfully booting up.
"FXP 127" kernel is recommended to use.....
Yeah, it appers that way. I tried a few kernels but the original cm9 kernel doesn't boot (black screen only).
When flashing fxp127, do I have to change the cm9 ROM as well? Or does this have nothing to do with it?
And, is there a site where you can download ONLY the kernels? Cause I found the free xperia project host from Google, but I can only find the changelog of the kernels, not the download mirrors.. I'm currently downloading the whole fxp128 with cm9 since I can't find fxp kernels separately
Okay, I flashed the FXP128 CM9 ROM and Kernel (think FXP127 is for x10?), and this works flawlessly! Should've done that from the start

There is a Q&A thread, please post your question there, or in the cm10 thread.
That aside I googled it anf found this:
"If you are trying to flash a new ROM in CWM recovery and you get a failure due to a (Status: 7) error, the reason is because you are either trying to flash the wrong ROM (ie: GSM Version of the ROM) or MOST LIKELY you have installed the GSM CWM Recovery on your CDMA phone.
CWM will check to make sure that in the update.zip will be named correctly to either toro or the GSM version, if the other version is there, it will flag it and not flash.
Hope I was able to help!"
Maybe is your ray ST18a and not ST18i? Or you downloaded a wrong rom?

This is what I do when I get a status 7 error. It works every time
1. Flash stock ftf file using flashtool
2. Boot once
3. Flash CM10 kernel using fastboot or flashtool.
4. Do full wipe
5. Install ROM from zip.

yeas boot image is in file. im new here im from the x8 fourms and everything is so much more complex lol.
all soted now peeps i just flashed stock kernel with doomlords cwm 6 + root and it installed straght away thanks for your help
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need to install only a recovery, because a custom rom brings ROOT. I'll use ODIN, where I can find recoverys in tar format, because the one I have, is the site of ClockworkMod and is in zip.
Thanks to all.

why do you need a recovery if you are not going to install custom roms. You already have the stock recovery to whatever you are going to do

Lol, you must know that CWM is integrated into the kernel, so if you need CWM you must install a custom kernel(insecure kernel) having CWM, and all custom kernels are made to enable rooting, trying to push CWM into stock kernel(secure kernel) is pretty dangerous and you might brick your phone, and stock has its on recovery mode which you can use. Anyway before performing any wipe or factory reset check whether if you have super brick bug if you are running ICS 4.0.4, and stupid question or not try including more details about your phone.

Ok.
Before anything thanks.
I want to install a CUSTOM ROM, like cyanogem, slim bean, etc. So your idea is install a kernel, but I can install recovery and then custom rom, right?
And this insecure kernel, can you give me the link to download?
Thanks.
P.S. - My SII have Gingerbread 2.3.5. original, I don't have touch in nothing.

Hello guys, please forgive me if any of this has caused the slightest troubles to you
So,
i just rooted my phone a day ago and installed clockwork mod too...
i am a total newbie and don't know anything about this.... So i went searching for some custom mods for my sk17i or Xperia mini pro...
And i found one on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102979
So then i installed it from the instructions given on most of the websites... i had a kernel of 4.1.b.0.587 on the phone and i don't even know much about flashtool...
Now the rom is installed or whatever it is but the UI has completely changed and it's not like the pics on the site... It's just completely black... And the worse part is that i can't even access my settings menu on the phone... So now i am blocked from doing anything... i cant even start usb debugging and take off the root....
please tell me some roms for the phone or any other way this can be undone...
Oh and btw i also tried installing some roms from http://get.cm/?device=mango because i thought cyanogen is pretty famous...
But none of them gets installed... and i even tried placing them as updates but no luck :crying::crying:
please help... thank you so much

Hmmm...if i understand your problem correctly, you ROOT and install CWM on you Mango, then you flash custom mods...problem appears after flashing custom mods right????
Hmmm....okey, for you info, those custom mods are for CM10 Roms ONLY and i believe you haven't flash CM10 Roms FIRST before you flash those mods...you can't use those mods on STOCK ROM (GB and ICS)...its designed for JB rom only....No wonder your phone got black screen...you trying to flash some mods that isn't COMPATIBLE with your roms...you need to flash STOCK Roms back if you want to fixed your problem...
for you second question...did your phone BOOTLOADER is Unlock??? if is not then sorry you can't CM Roms without unlocking the Bootloader first....CM Roms mush use CUSTOM KERNEL not STOCK KERNEL and after Unlocking you Bootloader then you can flash CUSTOM KERNEL and CM Roms...

As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools
Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too

One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?
ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly
Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then
format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard
Reboot System..
You should be clear now..
Hope i helped..
Regards..
PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs..
EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..
then follow my steps above..
DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.

in general you must flash the kernel included in the ROM. it's the only way to be sure that everything will work properly. Some combinations can make the phone not booting.
