Folks, someone please help me out.
desperate situation here.
Xperia mini 15sti : rooted, unlocked bootloader, busyboxed, RecoveryX installed (version for 2.3.4) - firmware 4.0.42 version : gingerbread
None of the ROMs I've downloaded have worked so far. Everything results in an error or another. It is incredible how difficult I'm finding this to be.
CM10 : gives me assert errors. Saying its not smultron. I've removed the assert check in updater, then it starts giving me installation aborted after some time.
CM9 : same assert error
ParanoidAndroid : symlink errors during installation
AOKP : installation fails with set path something
I've spent countless hours on finding out the root cause of my problem - but given that everything fails, I am guessing there is something elementary that is missing (or wrong in my approach)
I'm on android gingerbread, and trying to jump to either JB or ICS nothing really works here (I follow the usual wipe data cache everything with every single install attempt so far. And then start with rooting flashing firmware back to 4.0.42, then recoverX, then new ROM etc)
please help

Did you unlock your bootloader? If you haven't unlocked your bootloader none of the above mentioned Roms will work with you. (after unlocking the bootloader you need to flash a custom kernel according to the Rom you are flashing, via fastboot).
See this
Press thanks if I helped you

thanks for the reply, and yes bootloader is unlocked (using the test point method), and I flash custom kernels (extracted from the installation zip boot.img of the ROMs I mentioned) before I go to CWM to install the ROM

Does any custom boot.img work with your stock Rom? Try flashing ragekernel for gb in your stock Sony Rom. And see if your phone is working normal.

Okay your bootloader is unlocked for sure. now let's get to the rom part. Download any custom Rom for st15i based on stock Sony Rom. Try to flash it in CWM recovery. And if it throws any errors then please reply with each and every letter it says in error in the recovery while flashing . ONLY FLASH A gingerbread Rom based on stock Rom! Eg: clean and tweaked Rom from serjar FOR GINGERBREAD.

Okay, let me tell step by step tell what should be done.
1. Flash rage kernel for gb (3.0)(fixed)
2. Download any stock based gb Rom for your device . For example , clean and tweaked gingerbread Rom by serjar. Place the rom zip in the root of your sd card.
3.Reboot into CWM recovery (included in rage kernel no need to flash CWM separately)
4. Do factory wipe from CWM.
5. Flash the Rom zip from CWM . In the example case it is clean and tweaked gingerbread Rom from serjar .
If flashing throws any errors then post the error here.

I'll try putting gingerbread ROM ..but just to let you guys know I used notepad++ to avoid windows line end errors as per the posts around here. That stopped the assert failure but gave installation aborted after with no other error message. Now will put GB n tell you guys

You used notepad ++ but did you change the eol conversion to Unix format before saving the file?

No I think notepad++ does that by default. What you need to see is that it didnt give any assert error, tried to install for a while .. and then gave the error : installation aborted
Secondly, I'm getting errors in every single ROM out here. Now trying the GB rom .. will post the results, and thanks for assisting so far mate

Update! Cyanogenmod 7.2 installed OK. So gingerbread is installing
Is it because of RecoverX then? Because while installing RecoverX it asks which version of xperia mini do you want - and I use android 2.3.4 - could it be the recovery not letting JB or ICS install then? Its 5.0.2.8 or something the one that I have
Pl let me know what to do next. cheers
Notepad doesn't change eol to Unix by default. After installing a prerooted kernel you don't have to use recovery x . after all that's the point in a preroot kernel! It comes with root and CWM recovery in built! Now what? Start flashing Roms, kernels and start exploring the infinite possibilities of android! :thumbup:
and hit the thanks button, it's more appreciated than typing thanks

For ICS or JB you don't need recoverx, if you use a custom kernel you can just flash the kernel and it has cwm inbuilt.
1. Just push the FXP cm10 zip for your device to sd card, flash the boot.img,
2. boot in cwm,
3. backup,
4. wipe data/factory reset,
5. install zip from sd card,
6. (if you want install the google apps=gapps) :good:
Problem was with CWM ... once I installed a GB custom ROM, the recovery was flashed to 6.0 something automatically
Every single ROM I tried to install after has worked flawlessly.
I have an xperia Mini, and it just doesnt work though, so I'm opening another thread on the overheating issue (which doesnt get solved no matter what you do)
thanks

Tell you how to install v14.2 in right way
Hi friend . If you want to use V14.2 Rom follow those. In all the steps before you need make sure your x10 is unlocked bl (important) .First you need flash kernel suitable for V14.2 (u can find it in where you download Rom ,The recover have been merged into kernel .I think you can't open xrecover now because you install it in the Rom ,you can't open xrecover in a new rom without it .if you flash kernel bring xrecover ,that means you can use it in any rom hehe) Then open cwm recover install V14.2 Rom in you sdcard (I think it still in you sdcard if you didn't delete it ) Tha's all .Now you can use V14.2 .Enjoy
If I were you Id use pcc/seus and go back to stock.Then look at Crowds guide,follow it and unlock bl.
I run Feras v14.2 and everything works fine

There is a Q&A thread, please post your question there, or in the cm10 thread.
That aside I googled it anf found this:
"If you are trying to flash a new ROM in CWM recovery and you get a failure due to a (Status: 7) error, the reason is because you are either trying to flash the wrong ROM (ie: GSM Version of the ROM) or MOST LIKELY you have installed the GSM CWM Recovery on your CDMA phone.
CWM will check to make sure that in the update.zip will be named correctly to either toro or the GSM version, if the other version is there, it will flag it and not flash.
Hope I was able to help!"
Maybe is your ray ST18a and not ST18i? Or you downloaded a wrong rom?

Dear reader,
I've been trying to root my phone for a couple of days now. (Sony Xperia Ray ST18i)
I've browsed to numerous forums/websites in search of a good tutorial/guide to help me do it.
Finally i've managed to find youtube clips which helped me step by step to getting it done.
First thing i did was this:
How to unlock BootLoader on Xperia Ray[Official 4.0.4 ICS]
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
I already encountered my first problem there. I wasn't able to unlock bootloader on my android 4.0.4 so i downgraded my phone to gingerbread 2.3.4. After that i repeated the unlock bootloader tutorial and i succesfully managed to unlock it.
After this i tried to root my phone with the easy rooting kit v.1.0
This worked but after turning my phone on, i noticed that the phone wasn't actually rooted yet.
After contacting the person who made the bootloader video, he told me that i had to flash my kernel. So i went ahead and used another of his video tutorials. (don't mind his english accent btw)
How to flash costum kernel[Sony Xperia Ray]
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
Now this, running with gingerbread 2.3.4. worked without a problem and i currently have a custom kernel installed onto my phone.
This is where i run into my problem.
According to his next video tutorial:
How to root Xperia Ray
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
He shows that you need to be in your phone's regular menu, in order to root your phone with the easy root kit made by DooM.
My problem is that i currently am stuck in the phone kernel menu. When i try to let my phone load up normally, it just keeps rebooting.
The kernel menu btw looks exactly the same like the one shown in the link below:
Xperia play (HOW TO ROOT, FLASH KERNEL, FLASH ROM )
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
Now i've tried my best to be as detailed as possible with what my current situation is.
My question would be: What am i doing wrong and how can i root my phone from where it is right now, because as it stands. I'm unable to use my phone.
Kind Regards,
Cashtecz
ps. ( i did a quick search on the forums but i haven't come across as post that shares the same problem as i have)

Is it possible, after rooting my phone to update my android to the latest version?
The current rom that i'm using doesn't have google play store in it, and i would like to have it so i can install apps such as whatsapp.

If your bootloader is unlocked, not via pc companion or over the air.
On which rom are you currently on?
Normally you do a backup with for example titanium backup and flash the custom kernel, install the custom rom and restore the titanium backup...
P.S.: For every android version there is a zip file which contains the "gapps" (google apps like playstore) which you can flash with clockworkmod

You've only listed one thing you've tried, but if you have tried everything else then god knows.
status 7 error means you formatted the system. Never format system. Try a google search. you will get xda links of people explaining how to recover from that.

Thanks for the help , but unfortunately this didnt helped me either...
Tried installing the ROM without Formatting the system while wiped the data and cache .
Still gives me the ****ty status 7 error .
@XperienceD - Even tried FXP 213 and MIUI 142.
Gives the same error.
Re: Trouble installing CM10./10.1
This happens to me too.
So the best solution for now. Flash the roms you want using the provided kernel.
Then take a backup, flash Mesa, switch between roms via restoring them from recovery.
I do so

I know that will work, but I really wanted a workaround for this :/
Switching kernels every time isn't a solution after all

I had this problem as well. I searched through google and found out the solution is to flash a newer version of CWM which actually worked for me. I couldn't find a separate package with CWM but I found a kernel containing it. Everything has been fine since then.

Flashed to a newer version of CWM ?
I guess MESA already has CWM6.xx
You found a kernel containing it means ? Most of the kernels already use CWM as default recovery I guess

Lupus uses twrp, actually the newer kernels come either as dual or with twrp.

MESA also uses dual recoveries and TWRP as default.
What did he exactly meant ?
Flash another CWM on top of the pre-installed recovery ?
?? Anyone ? knows how to update CWM ?

if you have unlocked bootloader, try some of the kernels which use newer cwm or twrp.
if on locked, i think xparts installs latest cwm.

Flash boot.img (in the zip by rom)
Install Zip
Install Gapps
Wipe data (do this first and only once and never do it again)
then flash custom kernels ..

Hi!
I have a Question. How can I change the european model wt19i into wt19a version?
I had problems with installation new softwares from android development custom roms, becouse need wt19a version.
I try to use build.prop editor, becouse i found one information on internet where this option gives me availability to install custom rom on my phone, but this is not working. Still getting that same problems in recovery. Other option where will be 100% working did u know?

But there's no difference between WT19a and WT19i. I guess the a version is for a specific land (I don't know which) and i is the universal
All custom roms are made for WT19, it doesn't matter if it's a or i
Which custom rom do you want to install, where it fails?

Man, just edit the updater-script and delete the first 3 lines saying getprop. Then repack the zip and flash it. Should work
And btw could it be you wiped system? Because you shouldn't do that and if you do it, you will get the getprop error

Then you deleted too much or you repacked the wrong way e.g. with the wrong compression rate
Try installing again with the original zip and don't wipe system or you pack the modified zip again using 7zip and try to flash it
