Sup guys!
Im so down, because i hade 2 days ago CWM 7.2.0 1.0.8 on my Xperia Mini Pro and i was bored so i just got the CM 9.0.0 1.1.1 and if just seen on it that my battery goes very fast down on that rom the camera is bad and no flashlight working so i choosed the HYBROM v14 and got the .KRsH Kernel v3.0 (MiniPro) and flashed the HYBROM v14 and it didnt work. I turn on my phone it vibrates i see the boot logo after 3 minutes it show me a black screen and then it restart again and do it allways the same if tried it with CM 9.0.0 1.1.1 boot.img with nero droid boot.img and with rage kernel boot.img and it happens allways the same on some kernels i cant enter the CWM. I tried with flashtool to got the 62. kernel from XperiaMiniPro_4.0.2.A.0.62_SK17.ftf and it doesn do andything now i tried three times to flash SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf but it is allways the same it freezes at sony ericsson logo and then after some time i got a black screen and then it restart.
What should i do please help me
I need my phone so early !
1.Have krsh kernel
2.do full wipe, clear cache
3.clear dalvik
4.in mounts and storage,do format system,format data,format cache.
5.Install the rom.
perhaps it'll work..
But before i try to do this, i have to say if tried to set back my phone with WotanClient i cant use SEUS because i have unlocked the bootloader.
So if done it but it starts with Virbation and Sony Ericsson Logo after 2-3 Minute it's black with backlight on and after 30 sec. it restarts again all the time.
But thx ill gonna try it.
EDIT://
No it didnt work because i cant enter with krsh kernel not with 1.6 or 2.0 the CWM so if tried it with the x kernel and i can enter the CWM but i tried it like u said but it doesnt change anything after boot logo it freezes gets quickly phased black and restarts.
First download the custom ROM .zip file and place it on the root of your SDcard.
Then install the kernel you have chosen via Flashtool or fastboot.
Then you will need a ClockworkMod Recovery(or any other recovery, but this is the most popular). Some kernels have it already built in, check in the kernel description.
Next, enter the Recovery by pressing volume down button many times, when phone boots and screen goes brighter. Then make factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik Cache(last one is under Advanced). Then install zip from sdcard and choose your ROM's zip.
Oh, and if you don't know, which kernel to choose, then for Hybrom ROM should Rage Kernel and X Kernel work, I have had both on my LWW, both were good.
Yeah dude but i know how to do that all but it even dont boot it doesnt matter wichs rom or kernel i choose it allways stuck and sony ericsson logo and then it gets black and restarts.
If tried 2 firmwares with WotanClient and tried to flash a firmware.
It's just the same all the time.
What to do?
****ing damn ****.
My battery is empty and i cant charge my phone :/
The green led just blinking every 10 seconds quickly and when i try to turn it on it just vibrates and thats all.
What to do?
Does just anyone can help me pleeeease !
If you install a custom kernel, then, depending on the kernel of course, mostly you don't get the Sony Ericsson Logo.
So, you might be doing something wrong there with the kernel, as it doesn't get installed and that causes the problem.
Ok it do it like this:
- I go to my fastboot folder
- I have there:
* adb.exe
* AdbWinApi.dll
* AdbWinUsbApi.dll
* boot.img (the one wich i want)
* fastboot.exe
- I hold shift and click the right mouse button and press command prompt..
- i enter in the cmd: "fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img" because "fastboot flash boot boot.img" dont work it never worked for me
- i wait till its done
- i unplug it
- i start my phone its not working
And now i cant do something because my battery is dead and i cant charge it
When you use custom kernel like krsh rage or x, they'll have offline charging.. U just plugin your charger(not usb) it'll charge i guess so...
If flashed my phone again with Wotan and now i can charge it.
But its stucking at Sony Ericsson logo when it try's to charge.
And boot is again ****ed it justs like all the time freezing allways and then black and restart.
Is there a way to check whats broken or to set it back with a another way?
EDIT://
I flashed
- Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf then
- SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf and at last
- XperiaMiniPro_4.0.2.A.0.62_SK17.ftf
Not i can run the SEUS it says i have the newest version but i pressed install.
I hope it will fix the problem
EDIT2://
****ing damn **** -.-
Its like all the time the same ****.
Why cant anyone help me

Help please..
did you tried to flash any other firmware (eg. Stock 4.0.A.2.368) via flashtool?
try also to flash stock krenel, then relock bootloader and restore the firmware via PCCompanion
By the way, did you unlocked your device with test point or official method?
maybe both of them?
I unlocked my phone with the offical method and relocked it with Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf and it worked.
But when i flash my phone with Wotan and SEUS then my phone should be like i buyed it new or not?
Sorry for my terrible english.
EDIT://
I cant find any ftf for download, the only ftf wich i found for download was "SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1251-0103_.ftf" and all other if downloaded with Wotan..

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem that i cant boot into CWM. I have Neo MT15i running FINE with stock rom ICS .587, locked bootloader and rooted. I also installed x-Parts as well as CWM 5.5 and busybox 1.20. But my problem is that my phone just cant boot into CWM recovery no matter what i did either press and release volume - continuously when "SONY" logo appears, or using x-Parts function to boot into recovery. It just ends up stuck at "SONY" logo (I waited for about 10 minutes but no respond)
You have to press Back button while booting from Sony Logo to boot into CWM.

same problem for me...xperia neo v
Hello.
I have a similar problem, if not identical. I rooted my MT15i today hoping to install a custom ROM I found in this forum.
Everything went fine. I rooted the phone and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery properly.
Then, I downloaded the rom .zip, placed it in /sdcard, made a backup of my current system, wiped data/ full reset and installed the ROM with SUCCESS, as it said in the log.
After that, I rebooted the phone and now it keep stuck in the "SONY" boot screen and won't change no matter what I do.
But I think I know why did this happen. I was following a tutorial found in another site. There was listed only to wipe data and full reset, and not to wipe danvik and cache, as I came to read after I was stuck in the boot screen.
The problem is that now I can't even get to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, even if I start the phone holding volume down button (or reset, or any other button the phone might have).
The only thing to do is removing the battery. After starting again, it gets stuck again in SONY screen.
When I plug the phone into my PC, nothing happens. It doesn't get recognised.
It only turns on and stops at the SONY screen again.
I wonder if there's a way to access the Clockwork Mod Recovery menu or some way to return the phone to the stock settings.
Or is it a possible brick?
Thanks for the help already.
Ps.: sorry for the long post.
First of all don't worry your device is not broken
And not every custom Rom support locked bootloader
The reason you can't access cwm because you wiped data
I think you can restore your phone by reflash firmware using flashtool

I can get the phone to conect to the PC in flashmode. I downloaded the stock firmware of Neo MT15i (v 4.1.A.0.562) and flashed it, but no luck. The phone keeps stuck in the SONY screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: actually, when I bought the phone, it came with Android 2.3, I don't remember the firmware version.

It doesn't matter which android version you flash all should work
make sure you checked those boxes in flashmode
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe apps log
No final verification
And just to know when you flashed the firmware. Does it completed successfully?

Well, I got the phone to boot. I was just trying to flash an incomplete firmware, I guess. I downloaded a new firmware I found in a rooting tutorial thread in this forum and flashed it. The phone is now working fine.
But now it's not rooted anymore. Maybe in the future I'll try to root and flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help, anyway. :laugh:
Never mind, but I suggest you unlock your bootloader if you would like to flash custom Rom

Hi,
I installed following in my Neo V MT11i

best kernel for sjb(fusion 5.4)
debloated updated gapps
using following link . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632
I am using Kernel_Flasher_v2.0 to flash the image kernel. It recognises the device and shows that the kernel is flashed. But the device doesnt reboot. I root the phone through eroot software. Then I install X parts and go into recovery mode.
I wiped the phone fully, including system format.
Please guide where I am missing some crucial step.

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I've tried to install a custom ROM today and I'm afraid I managed to brick my phone (Xperia P). Here is what i did:
I started out according to the Starters guide:
-Rooted phone
-Installed CWM
-Made a backup
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Installed JB Moonbreaker 3.5: at this point I was actually still following the starters guide, as in: wiping cache, wiping data,wiping dalvik cache and then installing from zip.
-The phone is currently stuck on the loading screen that comes after "Sony" and "Xperia" (the colorful swirling thingie)
-I can only shut it down by pressing and holding the power and volume up keys until it vibrates 3 times in a row.
-Starting with pressing volume down key repeatedly will not bring up CWM (also gets stuck on the same screen).
-Will also not fastboot anymore properly. (waiting for device for "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"; LED on device will not even light up as blue, goes to green instantly)
-In Device Manager I can see it as "Android" with a yellow exclamation mark.
-Sony PC Companion gives me the "My Sony Xperia P LT22 is connected" popup every 15 seconds but will actually not show the device as connected
I'm wondering if I can flash a stock rom on it to recover it or if there is anything else that can be done.
Thanks in advance

Can't seem to get it flashed from flashtool. I'm pressing the back button and connecting the USB and I'M just getting the same stuff on the phone, while flashtool is waiting for the phone.
I did manage to enter fastboot again though. Should I be flashing CWM from here (since I can't enter it). Or kernel then rom? I'm a bit lost.

yes green LED it is,
i hope you had the flashing process ready at the PC right ?
First make sure your phone is shut down. long press power+vol up until you feel 3 vibrations.
From there you can try fastboot mode or flash mode.

Alright done all that, still is the same. I've started to play with other USB ports and I noticed that when I get connected it tries installing the SEMC Flash device driver. It fails with "device unplugged" message exactly at the same time when when the Sony logo appears. Then it tries installing MTU USB Device as well. Reinstalled flashtool drivers and tried in different ports. It seems as if the phone is not staying in flashmode?

I recall I had that issue with wundows 7 at the beginning, what I did then was to boot my windows xp and managed to flash from there.
I have tried many things since, and if I am not mistaken it's installing flahtool drivers that fixed it finally.
I think there are 3 drivers there you need to install.

you can use emma flash tool by sony to flash your device once u get into flashboot mode(vol down den insert usb cable)
you will find it at sony developer site
did you tried to flash the rom over ICS, if yes then thats why your p got stuck at boot, coz i too got the same prob, when i tried to flash the JB moonbreaker over ICS, so what i did was pressed the power button and volume up button till 3 vibration, start flashtool and flash stock ICS firmware, but don't uncheck wipe data, otherwise you will get bootloop, after flashing is complete, now download and flash stock JB firmware, root your phone using doomlord's easy root kit or any other way you know, install cwm and now reboot into cwm flash JB stock or custom kernel and then the rom, thats it, just let me know if the prob is solved, thanks

Stuck on boot
Guys I have the same problem.
I wasn't satisfied with the rom I put on my phone so I went on to put another one on it.
Flashed the kernel with fastboot, went into cwm, deleted system, cache etc. and went on to flash the rom, but there was no rom zip there, and I was sure I had put it. It was probably an error during the copy procces and it just stopped, I assumed it copied.
Well, now it is just stuck on the boot screen. I can get into fastboot and cwm, but I have nothing to flash.
I tried using the Sony recovery "Emma" but it just stays blank when I connect the phone..
Is there something else I can do?

Hi
I think im facing a very similar issue, i m very new to this and therefore didnt understand the solution. I did visit the developer site for emma, but can you tell me the exact thing to do after starting Emma. I mean, when do i connect the phone and how, what commands to give. Below is explanation of how i got into this and what all ive tried.
OK i ve been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Xperia P, i looked at a number of guidelines and doing things step by step.
Since im very new to this i downloaded a few Roms. I was following the guide "http://droidors.com/2014/07/08/update-xperia-p-lt22i-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/2/" and everything was going fine. I reached the step to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", i did that and then went on the next step to boot in CWM Recovery and install the zip rom and the Gapps. During the Zip Rom install i got status 7 error.
Now, i noticed that i might have flashed the wrong Rom so rechecked the guide and installed the correct Rom which is mentioned in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-slimkat-4-4-2-release-candidate-t2657795" . But now THE PROBLEM IS, AFTER I FLASHED THE INCORRECT IMG, MY PC IS NOT RECOGNISING THE XPERIA P SAYING IT DOESNOT RECOGNISE THE DRIVERS, therefore im not able to copy the ROM Zip on the SDcard, to then run it from CWM.
After sometime i tried the below
Ok, now i tried to flash the stock Rom through this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/ftf-firmware-xperia-p-generic-world-t2322163", through flashtool to bring my phone back to life. I installed the drivers as per instructions from drivers folder, but for some reason the pc is just not accepting. I did install through this exact method yesterday night and it worked perfectly.
Please suggest. I hope im asking at the right place.
Urgent help please
I forgot to mention, after I flashed the SlimKat Rom, and things went out of hand ( till this point i could see Slimkat logo at boot and could also go in CWM Recovery ), I tried to restore through Nandroid Backup i had done. As soon i selected the restore option and then the backup file, within 2-3 seconds the phone went off, and then on boot all i can do is see "SONY" on screen. Nothing else happens.
I ve tried all this on a different machine, with different wires and different USB port, no luck
Kindly advise, im stuck with no spare phone.
Solved i guess
OK Brother,
I downloaded EMMA and am currently downloading the service. It is very self explanatory. What was amazing is when i recognised my phone "What a sight "
Flashtools wasnt able to do that, so i guess the manufacture tools are damn important ( i wasnt exactly of the opinion before )
Also it is downloading Android 4.0.4 Build 6.1.1.b.1.54, which first came on the device, which also makes me think may be i should have tried that rather than trying to flash with the JB Rom all this while.
Man, i was scared. Thanks for this thread Bro.
God Bless
Will inform once the phone is booted up to confirm it worked.
Emma Worked
OK guys, I can confirm its EMMA "Flash tool for Xperia" fixed the problem for me. It installed 4.0.4 on it.
Also there is a pdf in the Download which guides about the usage.
Sigh
Correction- it installed the latest stock ROM jb
tl;dr How do I install ClockworkMod so that it is booted on my device?
I own a Sony SK17a (Xperia Mini Pro) and was trying to install CM 9.1.0 into my device following this guide:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mango
Everything worked fine up until this part:
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection.

By the time I realized I needed to have ClockworkMod in my device it was clear the proccess would not work since I never installed ClockworkMod in my device (the guide itself never did mention it).
Right now, I am stuck with either boot.img from cm-9.1.0-mango.zip (downloaded from the website), which stucks my device in a loop in the first screen ("free Xperia project") since there is nothing to be booted after (ClockworkMod), or the original boot.img, from which the device works normally, but Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
How can I solve this and finish the installation of CM?

Flash the boot.img of cm9.1 and press volume down randomly when the notifications led lights up. You'll get in clockworkmod then as it's included in the kernel (boot.img)
If I were you I'd read my guide on how to install a custom kernel/rom to learn more about it

I think my problem is deeper than what I first thought, then, since flashing boot.img of CM 9.1 and randomly pressing volume buttons just keeps me in a loop of the "free Xperia project" screen, never showing ClockworkMod. Perhaps I should try another version (even though this one is the more recent stable one) to check if the problem persists?
I will check your guide, too, and see what I can learn from it, thank you! Seems a good option since it's on Windows and I've previously attempted on Ubuntu.
Hey, I realized what I was doing wrong: pressing volume buttons before the correct time. Managed to install CM, thank you!
Here's a timeline:
-Got the phone, worked fine
-Unlocked bootloader, rooted & installed TWRP
-Installed unofficial Android 7 as described here
-After a couple of days I got tired of the bugs and decided to revert to Android 6.
-Installed unbloated rom, can't remember which one
-Phone worked fine.
-After a day or so of use, I rebooted the phone, and it would not go past Sony logo (black text on white background)
Here's what I have tried, in a somewhat chronological order:
-Holding combinations of up/down/power
-wiped dalvik/cache
-reinstalled same unbloated rom
-reinstalled stock rom through Flashtool (tried android 5.0 and 6.0 roms, neither worked)
-Completely wiped OS and reinstalled stock rom- up to this point I could still boot into TWRP
-Relocked bootloader and tried repairing through PC companion (said it was successful, but the phone is still stuck on Sony logo).
This is where I am at now. Any help would be appreciated, if I can provide additional data I will.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I don't know if it is relevant, but the phone always gets really hot- at least 70 degrees, sometimes up to 90 according to TWRP.
If it's stuck on the boot logo it's alive. Can you enter recovery, wipe every single partition and then flash ftf with wiping everything including cust-reset

The thing is, I can't get into recovery through holding the vol up and power buttons. When I do, the phone just vibrates once and reboots (or if I hold it longer, it vibrates 3 times and switches off).
Should I wipe everything through TWRP? Is there a way to wipe through adb?

Hi DavidMKD,
I'd like to answer as well because I'm stucking at the same point but with an E2333.
I've wiped every single partition by TWRP and then flashed with an official ROM downloaded from xperifirm.
No changes at all.
I'm wondering it is hard issue, maybe changing the battery ?
It is true as well that the side under the back camera it's very hot when the phone start.
I didn't find any advices works. The only way to talk correctly with the phone is to flash it or root it, then any OS are unusable, in my case 5 mn max.
If I can help to have another try in your experience...
Thx in advance
Hi guys,
I think I've found a turnover to arrange everything, described in a thread :

Hope it helps
