Hello Everyone, I badly need your help guys. Unfortunately, i can't post a question on the specific thread im having problems with.
this is by the way, a question from a developed custom rom or upgraded rom for xperia ics. here is my question.
I got Xperia Sola, running on an official update from our country i believe or ASIA im not sure if its INDIA. But i ran it through Sony Updater. After i followed the instruction guides for installing your custom rom. i simply to a steps:
(assume i downloaded all the files needed)
1. i run Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v9_4 (reboot)
2. i run cwm-installer-sola-1.1 (manually reboot)
3. enter CWM
4. copy PURE_BLOOD_ROM_V1.zip from internal SD
5. install PURE_BLOOD_ROM_V1.zip
6. I can see an update running
7. Did reset/reboot by itself
8. It stuck, not moving anymore. i only can see SONY logo, nothing more and its not moving.
I am a bit curious if it really takes some time to fully install/update? I waited almost 15mins for it and my phone is a bit hot now. Is this normal? Please help me what to do.
Thank you.
I dont know what CWM you have installed, but i did the same with munjeni's CWM - i flashed the boot img with fast boot command, placed the ROM in sd, went into CWM and installed the ROM, wiped data, wiped cashe, wiped dalvick cashe and rebooted.
Thats it
I got ur problem u have installed cwm 1.1 which has some bugs instead install flashing v1 aflter flashingstock fw or try to hold power+ volume down button which will let reboot.
Press thanks if i helped.

Would xICS Hybrid RM work on mine if I too try to flash it via a CWM version 1 instead of version 1.1
Also would it matter whether which team\developers CWM I'm using as long as its version 1?

Hey guys, so I downloaded cm9 and tried to install it on my phone.
I got it from this link and also followed the video tutorial there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500234
I had rooted my phone and had CWM recovery v5.0.2.6
Now when I try to reboot, there is just an blue screen.
I did exactly like in the video, I tried 2 times. Still it didn`t work. Please help. Could someone provide any step by step instructions other than the video?
Thanks.
I think you needed to use with CWM 5+
Try to get back into CWM and root your old ROM.
I am very bad at this... So I dont really know how to do that... could you provide any steps or an tutorial?
Edit:well I tried to format sd card and system but nothing. Could someone provide a link to gingerbread 2.3.5 and a way Icould put it on my phone? Also, could I do anything with samsung kies?

NO NO. Don't use kies. Kies sucks a lot. Search the developer forum for "clockworkmod 5" flash it normally (I suppose you already know how-to since you have CWM4) after getting CWM5, flash ICS/CM9 Normally. no need to flash GB
Here is cwm 5

Glad we could help, be carefull next time. Always try to use newest software.
Ughh I forgot to root my phone right after flashing. So I installed CWM before rooting.. how do I root now? And also I think it is still not working. The phone has been blue for about 2 minutes now. I followed the video exactly like it was.
EDIT: damn... so after getting the blue screen again I thought of going back to normal ver and maybe some other custom ROM... but guess what.... It doesnt work anymore... I did just like before.Went into download, used ODIN to download 2.3.5 french ver to my phone, odin says PASS. But last time It had booted correctly by 4:40 or so. This time like 10 minutes have passed and still rebooting. What to do now?
EDIT2: Am I allowed to make a new thread since the problem is not with cm9 anymore?
here, check this out:

download it and flash it through stock recovery
i dont think you need to root it before flashing this (i didnt)
i just flashed this over the stock rom (non rooted) and then flashed cm7.2
i too had such problems but dont worry flash some stock rom with odin then it wont boot so remove your battery and place it again.now go to stock recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot.then use cwm 5 to flash cm 9.

Hey, this is exactly like in the video, I tried that. But this time I am going to first use odin to put XWKS2 2.3.5 on my phone, and then root using SuperOneClick (Last time I used udp1 or something like that) and then try again.

Hello one and all....I'm in a deep problem.. Required urgent reply.I had rooted my phone successfully with flashtool and also installed ics stock rom on it.I usually dont install any mods or roms.. but I saw real ics and installed it.but it had not responded in the page where it asked details aboutt wipe data and others..but it only responds to the buttons back and next i pressed next and it had installed rom succesfully. Then cwm rebooted and then I had strucked on sony logo...I tried many times but no use..It cant also open cwm recovery....
Real ICS (full) is unlocked BL specific i think; you have to flash original firmware i guess, use PC companion to repair.
Can you enter flashmode? If you can then just re-flash it with Stock ICS Firmware,Oh did you install a costum kernel before Flashing real ICS? Most CosROM requires a costum Kernel installed
Sent from my Xperia Mini using XDA Premium
Go back to stock ROM, and root your phone again. Then unlock your bootloader and try flashing a custom kernel (I'd recommend KRsH Kernel). In CWM, do a factory reset and wipe everything (dalvik-cache, battery stats, EVERYTHING). Proceed to flashing the Real ICS ROM (choose "install zip from sdcard", not "apply update").

One more thing - the first boot takes quite a while (it took me about 5 minutes or so). I'm also running Real ICS.

I think no.. before I had rooted my device at stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.58 and flashed it to ics stock rom to it using flashtool with out wipe data so that i can preserve root as shown in some guide from xda forum(I cant provide a link).So i'm happyt with the root. Then after one month yesterday I had saw the realics r5.1 and tried to install it on my phone.It asked to install cwm recovery and i also had installed it.then i entered cwm and backed up my current rom to sd card and started to install real ics rom. then it had currectly installed and returned to cwm and it showed rebooting device and reebooted..then at sony logo i had waited for approximately 3 minutes and then tried to switchoff the phone but not responded.then i had removed the battery.and then tried again.but no use....

I think you must install the custom kernel before flashing the rom.

You can install a Xperia S based rom, like Real ICS, or install mods like Xperia S Launcher
Try these steps:
1. DOWNGRADE to GB .58 firmware using FLASHTOOL
2. ROOT your phone, and install a ROOT SHELL
3. Use FLASHTOOL to update to ICS 4.0.4 (DO NOT wipe user data)
4. ROOT your phone
5. UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER
6. FLASH a CUSTOM KERNEL (KRsH KERNEL is recommended for Real ICS)
7. Enter CWM
8. In CWM, do a FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE PARTITIONS, WIPE DALVIK CACHE and WIPE BATTERY STATS (DALKVIK CACHE and BATTERY STATS are found in ADVANCED)
9. Choose INSTALL.ZIP FROM SD CARD and choose the Real ICS zip file
Seriously, the first boot is ridiculously long. 3 minutes may not be enough. Try waiting for 10 or 15 minutes.
Hello all, typical noob here.
I tried to install cyanogen 9.0 on the phone(st15i)
i followed this tutorial(at cyanogen wiki) and everything went fine up to :
On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then when I try o power on the phone, It won' get turned on no boot screen(battery level was full ), I tried pressing the volume buttons, while pressing the power button, no use. I can feel the vibration while holding the power key. Can any one please help me out? I tried reading some threads and tried few stuff, still no use.
Is your Bootloader unlocked? Because if your Bootloader isn't unlocked ( official method by Sony or tespoint method) you can't Flash the custom Kernel and it won't work.
Have you flashed the Kernel or Not?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
yes, bootloader is unlocked(Sony method) , and I flashed the kernel(should i post any screen shots? I used fastboot)
Maybe Flash Sony offical Rom again (Flash Sony Kernel and then Sony official gingerbread Rom). Then try it again.
And you are sure you performed all steps of the tutorial? And everything went really fine?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
I'm downloading official rom now. will let you know the result.
But remember to download the official kernel from sony, too! And flash the kernel and then flash the ftf file from the rom!
And then reinstall cyanogenmod. But I'm not sure if this helps anything...
Could you post the link from the tutorial?
Did it work?
the phone's now back to gingerbread, official rom worked

Then you could try it again. I don't know now if gingerbread is right, cause the cm9 rom is ics, right? Sorry but I don't know if you should root and update to ics and try it then!
Which rom was installed as you tried to install cm9 first, as it didn't work?
Could you pls post the tutorial from cm wiki?

Don't update over the air, or your phone will brick!!
Why won't they let you post the link? I don't know if it is against the forum rules, but hmm...
FIRST READ AND THEN CHOOSE IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
Do it like in this tutorial. But download the files from here. Then extract it, so you have got 1 packed and one extracted foler.
Then install sony flashtool and go to the flashtool installation folder on your pc and make a new folder "kernels". Then copy from the extracted cm9 folder the boot.img to the kernel folder of flashtool.
The packed package of cm9, you put on your sdcard. Then you open sony flashtool, click on the flash, choose fastboot mode and go to your created kernels folder and choose the boot.img. Make sure it is named boot!
Then connect phone in fastboot mode (volume rockers up and connect usb to pc. It will automaticly flash the kernel you have chosen.
SEE THE LOG BEFORE YOU PLUG OFF THE DEVICE!! If everything in the log is right, you can turn your phone on. When the "Free xperia project" screen comes up, you press volume down again and again, until clockworkmod comes up.
When your are in cwm just do it like in the tutorial. (Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition)
Then choose "install zip from sd card" and choose zip from cm9. Click yes and it will automaticly flash it. DON'T TURN OFF DEVICE WHILE THE PROCEDURE! Then, when it is ready you can startup your device.
I DONT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBILITY AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT CAN WORK (just installed it like this on my xperia mini pro)
Greets and keep up! In the end you will experience cyanogenmod 9!!

hi folks!
i need help flashing cyanogenmod 9.1.0 that i found here
i've looked for instructions here but they still sound hard to follow. another confusing part is the kernel..one guide says flash kernel first the other said do that last, heck were like fishing here mate..if someone can give me a more detailed step on how to do it that would really be great., as you can see im virtualy a noob.. only got as far as rooting my phone, even that i'm not sure if i did it right but it works anyway lol
thanks!
Device: LT26i
Android version: 2.3.7
Build: 6.0.A.3.7.6
What i've always done:
(0). If you want, you should make a backup of your apps.
1. Download the CyanogenMod file and if you want the latest gapps (Google apps) for ICS (when using CM9). These can be found here.
2. Make sure the (both) zip file(s) are on your phone.
3. Extract the boot.img file from the zip you've downloaded.
4. Flash this file using fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. Reboot you device, and go into recovery by pressing the volume-up button when the LED goes on.
6. In recovery, do a factory reset and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Also format system.
7. Now, still in recovery, go into "install zip from sdcard" and install the CyanogenMod zip.
8. If you want them, now install the gapps.
9. Reboot and enjoy
@TiesB
now thats somethng different again, or maybe you've just missed out the kernel part.,you also didnt mention downloading a recovery, is that because your method requires connection to a computer..not really sure what recoveries are for ie cw, doom, etc..
another one i want to verify, does installing this rom actually make my android version ICS or it just makes it look like one.,
Thats because when you fastboot it will get you in a recovery of cm9.1 then when you have fully installed the cyanmod you will have the recovery installed or you can go to xperia s dev in the menu and go to advance stock kernel 15 and set the zip and elf file in the sd card flash the ics 15 elf with fastboot and in the recovery install the ics 15zip file and you have a recovery
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yeah, what he says.
In the cm 9.1.0 zip there is a file called "boot.img". This is the file you'll want to flash using fastboot.
And yes, it actually makes your phone running ICS

ok, now how about flashing a custom kernel..
found that step on doomlord's post and another one, but they are in a different order..note that what ive done so far is to root my phone by flashing pre rooted img.,
Hello!
Please forgive me if i ask the wrong way here.
I would like to migrate from (rooted) ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my xperia mini st15i.
I remember me rooting it using gingerbread and flashtool a year ago, but i cant remember how i updated to stock ics. Most probably using the flashtool.
Now i have the problem that i cannot enter recover mode by pressing Volume down when turning on.
The system just starts into some safe mode.
Reading the last 4 hours arround makes me think that there is a cwm missing, but all tries to install cwm on my 4.0.4 phone fail (eg using x-parts).
Do you have a tip or advise how i can migrate from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2?
best regards,
b
First of all, you need an unlocked bootloader to flash any rom like 4.1 or 4.2. So unlock it and then go on
Now you choose the 4.2.2 rom (I guess cm10.1) and open the zip, flash the kernel boot.img from inside the zip using flashtool (or the fastboot.exe) and then install the rom
If I were you I'd first read many guides like for example my bootloader unlocking guide or my guide how to install a custom kernel/rom :good:
Sent from my SK17i running stock ics (.587)
Thank you so much for your advice. I managed it to unlock the bootloader, even the automatic software (#2 in your tut) didnt recieve the unlock code. I had to get it per email from sony.
At restart it seems that all data was lost, and i am now ready to go to CM 10.1.
So if i understand you correctly, this is what i have to do now:
1) flash he boot.img from the shu_cm-10.1-20130519-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip - This will install CWM
2) when the mobile restarts i am now able to enter the cwm and install the zip which is on the sd-card
3) Enjoy 4.2.2
Is this correct?

Yes, first you copy the cm10.1.zip and the gapps (google apps) for android 4.2.2 on your sdcard. Then you flash the boot.img for cm10.1 (from inside the zip) on phone and reboot in cwm (pressing volume down randomly or when the notification led lights up)
Now you are in cwm, there you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and then install zip from sdcard - choose zip - choose cm10.1, let it install. Afterwards you choose the gapps.zip. When the installation has finished, just reboot and enjoy android 4.2.2 :good:

Too bad - i think i bricked my phone in doing that.
I flashed the boot.img as said and tried to restart and enter cwm.
But the only thing that happens is the LED is pink and the screen switches on but stays black.
What did i wrong?
Lucky it seems still possible to enter fast flash mode and the flashtools recognize the phone
In the meanwhile i was able to flash a stock GB .42 and root it.
I tried to install cwm using x-parts but x-parts freezes during the installation and i get a notification that is has to be force-ended.
So i am struggling at installation of the cwm on my st15i.
I never thought that it is so nasty...
Instead of using flashtool, use some batch tools (like in my sig) to flash the kernel (boot.img) that came with cm rom.
Then try booting it, when fxp logo appears, press vol down.
If it didn't work, try some custom kernels like lupus or mesa and try again.
Regards
N
Which boot.img did you use? The one for mini (smultron)?
Btw let's go on via PM, we can try to solve it in German, maybe that's easier. We can post the solution in the end here
Btw for the next time you have a question, please post it in Q&A section :good:

Now i would like to try the correct one, but goo.im is (again) offline.
So i have to wait until its online again or i get a copy from somethere else...

Click to collapse
The just wait until it's online again or try FXP cm10 again for smultron. Then flash the right gapps for 4.1.2
Sent from my SK17i running stock ics (.587)
Finally i made it to 4.2.2 on the xperia st15i using CM10.1 from mike, and i am superhappy.
It really was all about the wrong image, and not finding the correct one, because goo.im was offline.
I love xda-dev :highfive: and its helpful community!
