Hello one and all....I'm in a deep problem.. Required urgent reply.I had rooted my phone successfully with flashtool and also installed ics stock rom on it.I usually dont install any mods or roms.. but I saw real ics and installed it.but it had not responded in the page where it asked details aboutt wipe data and others..but it only responds to the buttons back and next i pressed next and it had installed rom succesfully. Then cwm rebooted and then I had strucked on sony logo...I tried many times but no use..It cant also open cwm recovery....
Real ICS (full) is unlocked BL specific i think; you have to flash original firmware i guess, use PC companion to repair.
Can you enter flashmode? If you can then just re-flash it with Stock ICS Firmware,Oh did you install a costum kernel before Flashing real ICS? Most CosROM requires a costum Kernel installed

Go back to stock ROM, and root your phone again. Then unlock your bootloader and try flashing a custom kernel (I'd recommend KRsH Kernel). In CWM, do a factory reset and wipe everything (dalvik-cache, battery stats, EVERYTHING). Proceed to flashing the Real ICS ROM (choose "install zip from sdcard", not "apply update").

One more thing - the first boot takes quite a while (it took me about 5 minutes or so). I'm also running Real ICS.

I think no.. before I had rooted my device at stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.58 and flashed it to ics stock rom to it using flashtool with out wipe data so that i can preserve root as shown in some guide from xda forum(I cant provide a link).So i'm happyt with the root. Then after one month yesterday I had saw the realics r5.1 and tried to install it on my phone.It asked to install cwm recovery and i also had installed it.then i entered cwm and backed up my current rom to sd card and started to install real ics rom. then it had currectly installed and returned to cwm and it showed rebooting device and reebooted..then at sony logo i had waited for approximately 3 minutes and then tried to switchoff the phone but not responded.then i had removed the battery.and then tried again.but no use....

I think you must install the custom kernel before flashing the rom.

You can install a Xperia S based rom, like Real ICS, or install mods like Xperia S Launcher
Try these steps:
1. DOWNGRADE to GB .58 firmware using FLASHTOOL
2. ROOT your phone, and install a ROOT SHELL
3. Use FLASHTOOL to update to ICS 4.0.4 (DO NOT wipe user data)
4. ROOT your phone
5. UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER
6. FLASH a CUSTOM KERNEL (KRsH KERNEL is recommended for Real ICS)
7. Enter CWM
8. In CWM, do a FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE PARTITIONS, WIPE DALVIK CACHE and WIPE BATTERY STATS (DALKVIK CACHE and BATTERY STATS are found in ADVANCED)
9. Choose INSTALL.ZIP FROM SD CARD and choose the Real ICS zip file
Seriously, the first boot is ridiculously long. 3 minutes may not be enough. Try waiting for 10 or 15 minutes.

Hi all,
Today I tried installing Hybrom v15 on my sk17i device.
Attempt 1:
Firmware : .62
Bootloader unlocked, yes through SE,
Flashed Stock kernel with boof KERNELS successfully,
Installed Hybrom sucessfully, but it is taking forever to boot!!!
OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Don't panic, calm down.
I downloaded .42 Firmware, flashed my firmware and thankfully my phone started again. But I still wanted to try Hybrom, So,
Attempt 2:
Firmware : .42
Bootloader unlocked already,
Flashed stock kernel with boof KERNELS succcessfuly,
Installed Hybrom sucessfully, but it is taking forever to boot!!!
OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Dont panic, calm down.
I have .42 Firmware so I can flash it with anytime.
But still I want Hybrom on my device.
So any suggestion what am I doing wrong?
And also which kernel should I use?
And need help of pros around here badly.
I am developer but Android is like new turf for me.
So any help with resource is appreciated!!!
Thanks & Regards.
Wipe data....wipe cache...wipe dalvik cache.. and try with other kernel like rage kernel..
Sent from my ST15 using xda premium
Installed Rage kernel 3.0, but the result is same.
Stuck at booting from last 15minutes, now I am giving up my hopes on Hybrom.
Though thanks for reply.
I have a LWW, Hybrom has worked for me with Rage Kernel, X Kernel and booff's own kernel.
My idea would also be, that before install, factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and then install zip from sdcard.
Tried everything , but no luck so far..
Also tried NeroDriod n MIUI, but same problem.
It is taking forever to boot.
I guess I have to settle down with custom kernel only.

same problem for my mini(ST15i), cant boot after installing hybrom
First boot usually takes longer to create new Dalvik cache.
I have used many custom ROMs on my LWW, never had that kind of problem.
Could you confirm, if your bootloader is really unlocked? Dialer, *#*#7378423#*#*, Service info, Configuration, what does it say about bootloader?

In worst case, how long possibly it can take to boot for the first time?
And Yes, bootloader is unloacked.

Got same problem with my LwW!
Ihad problem yesterday.
Was going from hybrom v15 to v16.
Factory/cache wipe and dalvik wipe, installed hybrom v16.
Phone started but hangs and reboots if i try install apk´s, from market or from sd card, same problem.
Ok, giave it a second try, flashed again and same problem.... hmmmm
going back to v15, and wtf, same problem now on v15 rom
ok started searching and reading, and found A2SDGUI is the bad boy on phone
I have 2 partitions on my sd card and forgot to clean, format or wipe or whatever you like to do, to clean it.
Phone was still charging battery for next try, i formated sd card and then partition it ( 8gb card and gave 1 gb to secon partition ) copy hybrom v16 to the card only.
After flashing hybrom v16 works like a charm, but A2SDGUI still says Apps on SD but info tab shows nothing, all is empty... i tryed 4 different fileformats to format second partition on my SD card, but nothing shows up in A2SDGUI, so i deinstalled it and use now Link2SD, and it works like charm now on my ST15i Mini
Wont able to boot after any custom rom!
i tried to install several custom roms like nero droid following all the instructions...wiping out cache, factory settings, dalvic cache...etc

I have a week trying to install a new ROM to my phone (xperia mini pro). I follow the instructions, install the recommended kernel for each Rom. When i finish installing the ROM i reboot the phone put the kernel logo and don't do anything else (the last time i let it in the kernel logo for 10 hours and it didn't work).
I fix it using Wotan server. But what i really care about is that i want to prove new Rom, so if someone can help me i will be really thankful.

Hello,
I'm having the same problem, I don't get it at all. I bought my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) yesterday and so far I have been only able to flash stock rom and MiniCMSandwich AOSP Android 4.0.4 RC3, both of which work fine.
With all other roms I get stuck on the logo (depending on kernel - Sony, Sony Ericsson or Free Xperia logo). I do full wipe, dalvik cache etc. but nothing helps.
So far I tried: FXP 117 7.2.0, FXP 117 9.0.0 and XROM™ ICS RC7.
I tried different basebands, flashing in different order etc., no matter what I get stuck on the logo.
Could someone post a detailed step-by-step instruction how to flash either FXP or the XROM on the Mini Pro? Which baseband should I use (and how do I know it's the baseband's fault when the rom doesn't work), what about Wi-Fi etc.
I flashed Galaxy S+ (I9001) before and didn't have any of these issues.

I do exactly as it says. I had to flash stock rom before that, because update zip wouldn't work if I started from AOSP (or if I wanted to apply it after flashing FXP)
BTW, do I really have to flash stock ftf (kernel+baseband), which overwrites my CWM each time I want to flash FXP? I hate losing CWM.
Anyway, I did this:
1. I put the update.zip on the sdcard
2. I flashed the boot.img I unpacked from the update.zip using fastboot (went fine)
3. I applied update.zip using CWM
4. I did factory reset from CWM and wiped dalvik cache
After reboot - it hangs on the Free Xperia logo. I also tried flashing Rage kernel 2.8 with the same result. Oh, and does it matter if I flash kernel before or after the rom?

rage kernel is not compatible with cm7,
mostly kernel is flashed before the rom, but either way should work i guess..

That's because for some stupid reason you formatted the system partition, which must not be done on some ROM installations.
The CM7 installation requires info from the system folder, but since you formatted it, you don't have the info on your phone and installation cannot be installed.
Reinstall stock firmware, follow the same procedure, but do NOT format system, but do make factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Well, I was asked to try formatting /system.
Ok, again then. BTW, is there a pre-rooted .62 stock rom somewhere? I only see .69, which isn't good AFAIK.

The main idea is to restore your framework-res.apk. U can use aroma explorer if you have installed CWM from boot. If u havent, u should unlock your bootloader, there are several methods, i would suggest the unofficial through s1 tool with testpoint. Do you have a custom ROM build, or the official that came with your phone?
Take your battery off, start flashtool, put battery back in DO NOT power up.
Connect to pc when flashtool tells you holding back button.

Install cwm this time, even if your staying on stock, so that if something like this happens again, atleast it's easier to recover without loosing data.

Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.
please help.
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :
1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.
if this didn't work,
2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.
but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck
I have Xperia Neo V running on ICS 4.0.4

ok so i did the same (did not flash kernel).................but now after flashing the .431 kernel via flashtool it is still not happening......it wont go past the sony logo..........when i try with SEUS it says i already have the latest software installed...........please help.
Flash whole stock firmware with flashtool so you are able to boot phone.
Then when you will know the right steps, put rom .zip into sd, flash the right kernel and finally install rom via cwm following dev's instructions.
To flash a custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader.

I happened to soft-brick my Neo V few days back after installing a custom ROM. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Please read carefully :
U have to have a rooted and bootloader unlocked in phone to flash ROMs (OBVIOUS )
1)Copy the contents to your SDCARD of phone (ROM ZIP File + gapps ZIP)
2) Extract only the boot.img from the ROM zip to some location in your PC
3) Use Flashtool to flash the boot.img (FIRST THING TO DO)
3.a) Select Fastboot mode from flashtool
3.b) While the phone is connected, Click Fastboot phone using ADB.(Phone will restart and blue led will glow showing its in fast boot mode)
3.c) Now select the option, select kernel to flash in the window and chose the boot.img that is in the PC.
Now the flashtool automatically flashes the boot.img(which has the kernel included).
Unplug from PC and try to reboot.. On booting enter CWM mode and flash the ZIP already placed in the SDCARD(Ensure to follow the appropriate post to follow steps like clearing cache\Dalvik and system etc..).
HAPPY FLASHING

Hello!
Please forgive me if i ask the wrong way here.
I would like to migrate from (rooted) ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my xperia mini st15i.
I remember me rooting it using gingerbread and flashtool a year ago, but i cant remember how i updated to stock ics. Most probably using the flashtool.
Now i have the problem that i cannot enter recover mode by pressing Volume down when turning on.
The system just starts into some safe mode.
Reading the last 4 hours arround makes me think that there is a cwm missing, but all tries to install cwm on my 4.0.4 phone fail (eg using x-parts).
Do you have a tip or advise how i can migrate from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2?
best regards,
b
First of all, you need an unlocked bootloader to flash any rom like 4.1 or 4.2. So unlock it and then go on
Now you choose the 4.2.2 rom (I guess cm10.1) and open the zip, flash the kernel boot.img from inside the zip using flashtool (or the fastboot.exe) and then install the rom
If I were you I'd first read many guides like for example my bootloader unlocking guide or my guide how to install a custom kernel/rom :good:

Thank you so much for your advice. I managed it to unlock the bootloader, even the automatic software (#2 in your tut) didnt recieve the unlock code. I had to get it per email from sony.
At restart it seems that all data was lost, and i am now ready to go to CM 10.1.
So if i understand you correctly, this is what i have to do now:
1) flash he boot.img from the shu_cm-10.1-20130519-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip - This will install CWM
2) when the mobile restarts i am now able to enter the cwm and install the zip which is on the sd-card
3) Enjoy 4.2.2
Is this correct?

Yes, first you copy the cm10.1.zip and the gapps (google apps) for android 4.2.2 on your sdcard. Then you flash the boot.img for cm10.1 (from inside the zip) on phone and reboot in cwm (pressing volume down randomly or when the notification led lights up)
Now you are in cwm, there you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and then install zip from sdcard - choose zip - choose cm10.1, let it install. Afterwards you choose the gapps.zip. When the installation has finished, just reboot and enjoy android 4.2.2 :good:

Too bad - i think i bricked my phone in doing that.
I flashed the boot.img as said and tried to restart and enter cwm.
But the only thing that happens is the LED is pink and the screen switches on but stays black.
What did i wrong?
Lucky it seems still possible to enter fast flash mode and the flashtools recognize the phone
In the meanwhile i was able to flash a stock GB .42 and root it.
I tried to install cwm using x-parts but x-parts freezes during the installation and i get a notification that is has to be force-ended.
So i am struggling at installation of the cwm on my st15i.
I never thought that it is so nasty...
Instead of using flashtool, use some batch tools (like in my sig) to flash the kernel (boot.img) that came with cm rom.
Then try booting it, when fxp logo appears, press vol down.
If it didn't work, try some custom kernels like lupus or mesa and try again.
Regards

Which boot.img did you use? The one for mini (smultron)?
Btw let's go on via PM, we can try to solve it in German, maybe that's easier. We can post the solution in the end here
Btw for the next time you have a question, please post it in Q&A section :good:

The just wait until it's online again or try FXP cm10 again for smultron. Then flash the right gapps for 4.1.2

Finally i made it to 4.2.2 on the xperia st15i using CM10.1 from mike, and i am superhappy.
It really was all about the wrong image, and not finding the correct one, because goo.im was offline.
I love xda-dev :highfive: and its helpful community!
