my xperia s 4.0 ICS official
bootloader unlocked for flashing CM9 i flashed boot.img from CM9 zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
after that device stuck at xperia logo
i am not able to mount usbstorage also in recovery
how to get back to stock rom
completely turn it off, connect it to the pc in fastboot mode and flash another kernel and rom.
That should work.
Forgot to add that you can also download a ftf firmware and flash it using flashtool.

did you read good and do this?
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3 - when phone is booting (first 5 seconds) press volume down key several times to enter recovery and choose apply update from sdcard
WARNING - if you used another rom (stock or custom) you have to wipe data or device will not boot

please don't mirror (we want to have download conunt)
Hi
When you were installing CM7 on clockworkmod did you remeber to wipe everything? before you install the rom, on the first screen of clockworkmod you see wipe data and wipe cache. Wipe them both then go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache and battery stats, after that install CM7. So what should you do:
1. turn of phone
2. connect to pc on fastboot and flash kernel with built in recovery (Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
3. now disconnect phone and go to cwm and wipe everything like i said
4. install cm7
if works hit thanks ^^
btw. sony ericsson logo, seems like you didnt even flash kernel?
Since u are saying u seeing sony ericsson logo seems u didnt flash kernel properly, use flashtool in xperia neo dev section makes things way easier.
Good luck bro hope this helps !

just flash that kernel via fastboot. don't use apps to flash kernels
fastboot flash boot nameOfKernel.img
I think you forgot to flash the custom kernel,cos if you flashed the CM kernel it should not show Sony Ericsson boot logo,it should show CM boot logo
update
I flashed .42 firmware again using flashtool and the device is now working
Now i realized that the problem was that i didn't properly unlock the bootloader...what i want now is a way to unlock it..bcz everytime i try it gives me this error
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.003s
I searched the forum and tried this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544419
but it didn't give any kind of solution, Anybody can help ?

Hi!
First of all I have to confess I'm a total noob if it's about phone rooting, flashing etc. I'm not sure if I posted this thread in the correct place - if not, please correct me.
I've just downgraded my Xperia Neo V from 4.0.2.A.0.62 to 4.0.2.A.0.42. After this i 'tried' to installed ClockworkMod Recovery by partially following this thread. And here the fun begins. To do it I've used the flashtool. In the 'Fastboot Toolbox' I chose 'select kernel to Flash' instead of 'select kernel to HotBoot' and now my device boots only to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu. How could I fix this issue? Thank you in advance for help .
Just flash another gb based custom kernel using fastboot mode or flash stock kernel using flashmode in flashtool

first thing read the instruction properly
otherwise you will end up doing something stupid and will brick your phone
if you are on a locked bootloader
then flash stock ics .62 or .42 ftf using flashtool via flash mode not fastboot mode
you won't be able to flash a custom kernel if you are on a locked bootloader
if you are on a unlocked bootloader
simply flash a custom kernel using fastboot mode
flash the kernel which supports your rom
otherwise you have to re flash the rom and gapps

Hello,
I am a complete noob when it comes to dealing with phones.
I have a Sony Xperia Sola (firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 ICS)
I downloaded Rom Manager via Play Store and want to flash a custom rom.
But whenever I try to select the option "Reboot and Install", only a normal boot happens.
How do I reboot and install the rom?? I have tried the button combos (power+volume - and volume +) but nothing works.
Please help!
PS
I am
-rooted
-bootloader unlocked
-clockworkmod recovery via recoverX
-rom is [ROM] Unoficial JellyBean stockrom 6.2.A.0.400 Sola
I understand that the rom you mentioned is recently ported and also deleted from development section of sola (munjeni rom).
According to his instruction, you need to do following thing:
Enter fastboot mode (off phone then hold volume up and plug cable)
Flash boot.img in zip Rom file to phone (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Turn on phone and enter recovery menu (on phone then spam the volume down)
Do the clear data, cache... then install the zip file (rom)
Done.
Why was the rom deleted from the development section? Any clue? It was such an useful rom (using it myself)
And no, the original instruction only said to flash the zip file. Not fastboot the kernel before that. Fastbooting is only necessary I you get boot loops on normal flashing

I finally got into recovery mode yesterday (CWM touch), but today when I tried to do it again, only a stock recovery occurred. What happened?? I can't go back into cwm touch recovery
You have not flashed your kernel (boot.img) properly

I finally got into recovery mode, but when trying to flash the JB rom, it says something about a (Status 7 error) Flash aborted. how did you successfully flash yours?
First, you flash the stock ICS rom of sola. It will create the compatible partitions for JB in sola.
Second, you enter recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.... (maybe flash boot.img is required to entering this mode)
Finally, you install the zip file (rom).
Good luck.

I have flashed stock ICS, but even after I wiped/factoy reset, it still says Status 7 error
Maybe you should try to flash the boot.img in the zip file of munjeni before entering recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.

You flash in fastboot mode, or with recovery, but you must have unlocked bootloader, or it will brick your phone.
guys I accidently flashed kernel over system partition, now the phone is stuck in bootloop and fastboot is not flashing files although its detecting it

Thats the twisted part
flasher tool is detecting z2 in fastboot mode, but not in flash mode.. can i fix this on my own or should i take this service center?
Did you try the options in Flashtool by androxyde? You can flash a temporary kernel /w custom recovery via fastboot mode ( vol.+ ) and reformat the twisted partitions and power off the device so as to flash device .ftf afterwards.
Good Mornig
:crying: I installed the latest Flyme rom on my Togari but now i can´t boot in to my recovery.
But if I boot into the Rom I don´t have Problems.
I only cant Boot to the Recovery and also i don´t can boot into fastboot or flashmode.
Sry for my English but im from Germany
If i try to boot into flashmode only the led is going for 1 sec. yellow and my phone turns off.
Also if i try to boot into fastboot, my Phone vibrates 3 times and then it turns off.
If I try to boot with the NDR Utils App into the Revovery, my Phone only makes a Bootloop.
I used this Rom :FlymeOS_4.5.1.1R C6833/02
and here is the thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-flymeos4-5-1-1r-c6833-02-t3165834
ADB is installed. The Phone is also Rooted. for Recovery i Used NDR Utils.
Thanks for Help
NDR utilities....I guess you are using NUTS XZU dual recovery well mate it clearly said that whenever you flash a rom using xz dual recovery....you will lose your recovery...there was a flashasble zip which needed to be flashed after flashing rom which won't erase your recovery
Now regarding your fastboot or flashmode.... Are the latest and proper drivers install....don't care about the led flashing does the PC detect the device In flashmode? If yes just reflash stock back using androxyede flashtool and make sure you install the new bootloader next time via Emma which has a separate recovery partition in it.....regards if you need any help feel free to PM
You can flash dual recovery or download twrp manager, follow instructions and you'll be granted twrp recovery
