Hi guys,
I've tried flashing CM10 (fxp 134 and fxp 135), but after I give the command to reboot in the terminal, my phone just shows the fxp logo. Doesn't go in CWM recovery when I'm pushing te volume button. Anybody any idea why this is? Flashing CM9 works just fine.
Xperia neo, use the back key not volume down for recovery. What kernel are you using?

I've always used the volume down for recovery, always worked. The wiki also says it's the volume down button. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide
I just use the kernel from the package with the ROM.
I always use back key on neo, I use volume down in ray. Try using the back key and let me know the result

Did you flash kernel for cm10?
Used the back key, and at first it didn't work (rebooting from computer), phone shut down again.
But then I put it back on and tried again, and it works, thanks guys!
Yeah, I flashed the kernel
However, I've got some problems with wifi now, which shouldn't be, I read in developers forum that wifi should work.
Also, CWM was kind of unstable. Screen went from left to right when I was navigating the menu.

That is a known UI bug for the recovery, it still works.
As for wifi, do a fresh install.
Flash rom
Flash gapps
factory reset clear cache etc
flash kernel
reboot

Did that, didn't help. There were a few other bugs too I didn't come across in the developers section (but I can't post there), for example google now was not working very well.
Flashed back to CM9 for now, but I will try again when the fxp136 is released
I liked JB a lot though.

Hi Guys,
Last night for some reason my GT-19100T running CM9.1.0 wouldn't lock by pressing the power button, the button itself seems to be working. I can press the button down but nothing happens. I left it for the night and came into work this morning, I thought it might be a bug with the rom, i managed to boot into recovery via the "Rom Manager" app and was going to flash to CM10. My problem is now that i am in recovery, I can't select anything as the power button is not working. I can scroll through the recovery menu with the volume buttons but cant select anything, and now soon as the phone turns on after removing the battery, it goes straight to recovery mode and i cant get around it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for about 3 hours and same thing. I can boot into download mode, But at the moment that doesn't help me.
Any suggestions on what i can do? I'm not worried about warranty so i may pull the phone apart and clean it tonight. Thanks in advance.
Update:
After much playing around with the button i can get it work, it is very temperamental and requires to be pushed in the right way. Was able to flash with Touch recovery and am now updating to CM10 nightlies. Thanks all for your help on my first post.

Hi!
First, have you tried flashing a stock firmware? If that does not help, you can try cleaning your hardware.. it may be dusty or something.. be careful! I hope you get this sorted out.
Also, i hope my suggestion will help you out, cheers!!

Okay, Flashed back to stock ICS rom, Got a little bit further but still no go. It gets the "S" loading screen and stays there, Still cant do factory reset via Android Recovery as it also needs the power button to select. Someone suggested installing CWM touch recovery but i cant find a .tar version of "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2" downloaded from CWM website. Any suggestions on how i can install this without using recovery? Thanks.

I guess you have to flash them with odin..
1. Flash a stock firmware to get you out of bootloop
2. Flash the latest siyah kernel cause it's a touch recovery via odin as well
Do you want me to post the links or will you find it yourself?
I hope this helps, cheers!

Hello,
I have flashed a few custom ROMs onto my x10i and each time it reaches the lock screen when it starts up it just seems to go into a reboot loop from kernel splash screen to lock screen again. Is there any fix for this ? I have tried using SEUS and restarting the whole process of flashing a kernel, rooting etc but it doesn't seem to work. it literately only happens when it reaches the lock screen. sometimes it lasts longer than that. Whenever I wipe the system it seems to work fine but as soon as a few things are running it starts to reboot again. The current ROM I'm running is PAC-man, with the kernel supplied along with it.
Could anyone help me ?
Thanks,
mmy4life
I have the same problem
use the phone until the battery become empty charge it in off mode up to 100 enter in xrecovery advanced options wipe battery stats and reboot
maybe you did an error when flashing or it runs wrong kernel. my suggestion : just use another ROM there are many nice ROM you can choose, and dont forget to follow step by step installation guide provide by developers.
Is the rom overclocked as this can can happen on some devices try and set the CPU to 998

That usually happens when the ROM is using overclocked CPU settings or an unstable CPU governor as default but it can also be defaulted inside the kernel. You simply flash another kernel and appropriate ROM.

After Free Xperia Project's unofficial CM9 release for Sola was giving me some trouble, I flashed to a new ROM and lost my CWM installation. Right now, I am running stock .54 firmware rooted.
I cannot access CWM. But twice now (once today and once a few weeks ago), my phone has randomly booted into CWM when I restarted it. I didn't push any buttons or anything--it just went into CWM on its own. But I can't get it into CWM with any combination of keys and timing that I've tried.
Anyone know what's going on?
Try to get in by tapping sony logo on start. Have you flash some custom kernel? The best thing is wipe all data, flash fresh tft yhen use some custom kernel, there is quite few very good. Just watch it has to be for ics...

Every time my phone dies, or I turn it off or I reboot, no matter what 4.3 rom I'm using, it stays on the boot animation until I either pull battery or hold power to turn off. I've flashed, reflashed, dirty flashed clean flashed (I format the system as well) I've tried CM10.2, PacMan, and Beanstalk and all three have this issue. I haven't read anywhere that someone else is having problems like this. Please advise!:fingers-crossed:

I have the same problem. Can't seem to figure it out either. The only way to fix it is to reflash. At first I thought it was an app or setting but after a clean install and boot I reboot without going through the setup but it still would not reboot.
Same
I'm having the exact same issue and as you have, I've tried everything I can think of.
Ive tried flashing CM 10.2 + GAPPS, just CM10.2, 3 different types of Google Edition Roms and in every case the initial boot is fine... It boots and works perfectly, however on first reboot, it wont boot back up.
It just sits on the SGS4 logo, have left it for 25 minutes.
I would really love to know how to fix this. The only way to get it working after it has been restarted once is to delete cache, dalvik AND data...
Cache and Dalvik don't fix it.
figured a little bit...
Well now that I've flashed it using TWRP instead if CWM touch, it does reboot back up. However with TWRP flashing I'm getting reboots while typing.

If this works can you post a quick overview of what you did...
Because I've tried reinstalling TWRP and it didnt seem to help, but happy to try again if it works for you!
All is good!
Been running it since I installed using the method i mentioned above.
The ROM is running smoothly with no issues or reboots. I did reboot it a couple times to verify that it is booting properly.
Alright...I installed TWRP through Goomanager, when I did this I selected the manual option and booted into CWM and performed a BACK UP first...flashed the TWRP.zip file that goo downloaded for me. Version 2.6.0.1 I think it was? I rebooted into recovery and found it successfully flashed TWRP, I went into the wipe options and chose data cache system and dalvik, backed out and chose install and reinstalled Cm10.2 and GApps. I'm able to reboot and all but I'm still finding reboots here and there....I was able to go 18hrs on battery (awesome for stock settings!) And without a single reboot.

I'm using Beanstalk on my phone and I get a lot of random reboots. Mostly when I'm unlocking the phone. I press the button and the soft keys light up the phone freezes and 5 or so seconds later it reboots. It also happens during calls sometimes when I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns on and sometimes when I'm listening to music. It's also happened a few times while I was using the phone. I don't restore any data(unless you count the apps that automatically reinstall from the playstore when I boot the phone, and a few apks from blackmart) I've tried reflashing but that was only a temporary fix. I always have problems with roms being really buggy even though I always to clean flashes.
Can someone help me to fix this? I use this device to play music over a sound system for crowds of people so I really need this bug fixed. (preferably without reflashing but I will if need be.)

you can go to the Original Development thread and find the thread for the Uber kernel. pay attention cause one is for JB and the other for KK. whichever Beanstalk your running get the right kernel.
you will flash it just like you flash a rom, or more like you would flash the gapps. you don't have to start over flashing rom again, you are just flashing the kernel to it.
the reboots sound a bit off to me as if you are flashing completely clean, KK is very stable for me and most others. maybe try flashing rom twice as you can get 2 different reactions on 2 different flashes.
flash rom
flash rom again
gapps
boot and wait
reboot
go back and flash your kernel
make sure you get all your wipes in middle of all this.

If you are using Beanstalk you should probably read the BeanStalk thread, both of these common problems (screen flicker and failure to wake) are solved with a Aroma package made by p0llution. You flash it in recovery and all is good. Link is in 1st post, right next to ROM link. You can also switch kernels and boot animations with same package.

I'll give you some slack 'cause I am still close enough to my first flash that I remember being full of questions, but at least read the OP and most recent pages in your ROM thread. You should skim through it all ideally but some are 100+ pages so....
Kernel switching in general does not require any ROM action, there are likely cases that it might be useful but I've never had a problem. You will need to ensure that the kernel is matched to your ROM; KitKat or Jellybean or whatever. I usually do it as I flash a ROM but I have gone back and installed a kernel on a running ROM plenty of times; Uber for instance was released after I had BeanStalk up and running, it is a good kernel so I switched to that.
As a more general point the Note is hard to brick, as long as you don't somehow mess up the recovery (CWM or TWRP) you are just a quick restore away from back to normal. Use the backup function in your recovery, it is your friend and savior. Keep a copy of the back-up on your PC (or Mac) and you will usually be golden.

If you are on BS Rom you should know that all you need to to know is on the OP post-the rom and the patch. The latter contains about 5 different kernels which you can switch betw. to your hearts content. The patch is n00bie proof to make your switches. Really hit BS OP.

He uses aroma installer, so when you flash it (personally, I did it with CWM) you don't need to wipe cache/dalvik nor wipe phone, he mentons this on patch's thread while answering questions I believe. The screenshots show you some differences between the kernels he has available, either CM, Uber or PAC.
Personally, I'm using PAC since for me it seemed to work better with the Xposed's Netflix workaround, whereas it didn't work that well with Uber.
Also, the patch provides fixes, for camera, screen flicker and such.. Give it a try, and you'll definitely love your phone more!
