It works! Thanks a lot, now we just need CM9 and other awesome ROMs
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but USB mount doesn't seem to be working, thought. My device doesn't show up on my computer when I select that.

Installing cwm is possible only by flashing a pre rooted kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

ROM Manager
hi,
yes, it works, indeed (LT26i 4.0.4)! And in opposite to RecoveryX. Fortunately now I can get into recovery mode but is it compatible with ROM Manager from CWM? Because for me it seems not.

You can Install a kernel in fastboot only!!
1. Shut down your phone
2. Hold the volume down key
3. Plug the USB cable and release the volume button
4. A blue LED should light
5. Flash the kernel.
6. Enter CWM and delete all the caches

Okay.. try my method:
1) Download the following:
MESA Kernel v1.8 : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w6v6t0a72eh3n3k/1xBJTqCCcO/sk17i_mini_pro/minipro_mesa_v1.8.img
RealICS lite r4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739569
(be sure to download the flash fix from RealICS lite r4 ROM page in case you have problem with it)
2) Transfer the ROM (RealICS lite r4 with flash fix) to your SD card
3) Flash the kernel via fastboot
-rename the kernel to boot.img and put it in the folder with fastboot.exe
-press Shift + Right click on folder with fastboot.exe and select "Open command window here"
-paste:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) Turn on your phone and see if it lights up. If it does, wait until the notification LED lights up and press Volume down button. If it doesn't light up, it means your LCD screen (hardware) is broken.
Tell me if it lights up and I'll give the next instruction.

Hi there.
I got a quite serious problem as I recently wanted to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Xperia Sola.
The problem is I downloaded it, placed on pseudo-SD card and wiped everything. Then, when I tried installing the rom it gave me an error of "assert failed" crap...
Mounting USB does not work and Windows cannot install drivers (even with PC Companion on).
I think I just broke my phone... It's stuck on Sony logo all the time and I can't even get into CWM now... [email protected]#!k.
Help please? :/
Hello. I don't own these device. But try to flash stock FTF with Flashtools and it's should be fine.

may be the problem was caused by boot, you should take boot.img from kernel, flash via fastboot, get to CWM and flash rom
