Hi there! I have been searching in this forum on how to properly install CM based ROms by FXP, here are lots of posts there but of different methods that really bothers me and confuses me. Some says, do not wipe system, other says, make a full wipe first.
My question is, is the installation procedure on installing CM 7.2 the same as installing other custom ROMs such as Spartan and HASA?(Unlocked BL already) st15i
Is it just :
1.) Flash .62 official GB firmware from sony FTF
2.) Flash the provided kernel by FXP for cm 7.2(FXP 130 I guess is the most stable release, according to comments)
3.) boot to recovery and make a full wipe this way:
3.a Wipe data/Factory Reset
3.b Wipe cache/partition
3.c Go to mount/storage and format /system, /data, /cache
3.d Go to Advance and Wipe dalvik cache and Battery stats
4.) FLASH ROM
5.) Reboot
Is this the proper way of installing the ROM? To those who have already installed CM 7.2 there, please help. And also please refer me to the most stable build of cm 7.2 if fxp 130 is not the most stable.
Thanks and more power!

Thank you for answering. Do you mean wipe cache/partition and dalvik cache only? That's all? No need to format system?
Do I need to flash stck .62 first?

Why would you need to go back to 2.1 ? Just follow the instructions I the thread it'll tell you if you need to wipe or not but you probably will.

Good lord.
1. Enter into recovery. for the love of god, dont ask us how to do that.
2. wipe data/factory reset
3.wipe cache.
4. advanced> wipe dalvik cache [and battery stats, if you want]
5. install custom .zip > select the minicm7 Prov21.zip from sd card
6. use your brains.

You mean real ics? Okay please update to ics like explained here first. After that get cwm.
Download the rom and put it on sd card.
1. Reboot in cwm
2. "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip"> choose the installation zip
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
6. Reboot
That's it. Should work
No, you can't install cusrom ics with gb kernel, you should upgrade stock rom ics, root, install cwm, wipe everything, install cusrom real ics, done..

I just meant as you said wipe all that's wrong. Don't wipe or format /system. He just shouldn't do anything like format system. Just that he doesn't think "wipe all" = "system,data,cache,dalvik cache, etc"
hello everyone..
im on custom rom GB.can i flash straight to stock JB perform all steps below before flashing
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
format system
or i should flash stock Ics first?
Thanx in advance

Flashing Stock ICS v4.0.3 and then proceeding to JB would be the best thing IMO

Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,
Regards,
AJ
I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.
yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?

Download your xperia mini pro ginger bread ftf
Flash it using flashtool
And boot up to gingerbread os. The touch will work now
Now flash the kernel and then the rom of your choice.
When ever your touch stops working. Just chill and flash the official ginger bread firmware (ftf file) by sony

use the ics-ftf gb is outdated. also flashing stock.ics.ftf is a requirement for LX.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0
after u flashed t just install LX like this (dont do more ; not less !)
- place ROM.zip & gapps ON SD
- power off device, flash KERNEL inside ROM zip
- in mounts & storage format: /system /data /cache
- install ROM & gapps
-boot that sh*t XD
good luck too u.
