I've got a problem, but I'm not sure if it's been addressed anywhere else on here, I've searched through several pages. I've found a situation that was similar, but not the same. So I'm putting it out there, and hoping someone will solve it:
I've got a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i)
I rooted my phone, unlocked it's bootloader, and flashed a ROM; everything went well until it rebooted. Now I'm stuck at the point where the "Sony Ericsson" logo is shown, i've been stuck there for almost 30 minutes now.
Any help possible? Any at ALL would be MUCH appreciated.

What ROM are you trying to flash on your phone?
Did you checked first if the Bootloader was actually unlocked?
Did you flash a custom kernel thru fastboot?
Custom ROM needs custom kernel.

I was trying to flash HYBROM.
Bootloader was unlocked for sure as I had installed Coconut previously, which also requires bootloader unlock.
No worries though; i solved my problem. I flashed an older firmware, along with a bootload relocker, with Flashtool. Now my phone has switched on, to my stock ROM. Still no clue how to flash hybrom ROM as it caused the same problem even after wiping dalvik cache and all other data (which was the solution provided by dev)

Okay, please help me understand: What is a custom kernel and how do i install it? Everywhere I've looked there's been no mention of the need for a custom kernel

check first page of hybrom thread
Installation instructions
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

I did not deny that a custom kernel is needed, I wanted to know how to flash/use a custom kernel?
To flash a custom kernel you need to have flashtool (sticky thread on the dev section) so:
1.- you download the custom kernel (it is a boot.img file)
2.- open flashtool
3.- connect your phone to your computer while the phone its off and you are holding the volume up key without releasing it the notification led should turn on blue.
4.- if the phone it's not recognized go to the flashtool folder and install the drivers located on the drivers folder once it is done repeat step 3 and it should be recognized.
5.- once your device it's connected click the thunderbolt icon on flashtool in the new screen select fastboot mode and continue.
6.- in the new screen click on select kernel to flash and browse to the boot.img you downloaded.
7.- check the flashtool log to make sure everything is fine if it is you are good to go.
Hope it helps.

Thankyou, this does help. One last question: Are there several different custom kernels? Does WHICH kernel i get matter, or is any kernel usable on any phone?

Depending on the ROM, you want to install, you need correct kernel.
CM ROMs work only with FXP kernels, included in their topic.
MIUI ROMs have only specific kernels also, included in their topic.
Stock-based ROMs(XROM, Hybrom) work with Rage Kernel, X Kernel, bbooff's kernel, all these are in Development section, just search.
Glad to be helpful anything else just let us know.
Thanks very much!
I have a live with walkman from 3 etwork. the bootloader is locked. can I still flash hybrom 16 through CWM?
check service menu,
confirm if bootloader can be unlocked.
it should state "bootloader unlock allowed : yes".
after unlocking bootloader then there will be no problem installing hybrom
check this thread for more info about unlocking bootloader.

No. You must have unlocked bootloader. Also, for Hybrom, you must install custom kernel also.

"ROM: CyanogenMod 7.2 FXP115"
The ROM you're using, is it good? and how (relatively) stable is it? Do the stereo speakers/Walkman button work?

Yes, it is fine for me, no problems at the moment. Stereo speakers require a tweak, link in my signature. Walkman button doesn't work.

Fantastic How'd you flash it? same as hybrom? (Unlock bootloader then flash?)
Hi all, been trying all night to unlock the bootloader following the guide on the cynaogenmods wiki page ( found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide )
Sadly however, i seem to fail when getting to the 4th and 5th step of the guide as what is supposed to happen doesnt happen at all when pressing and holding down the Volume Up button aswell as connecting the USB-cable to the computer on the same time.
this is the things and steps i've done and tried:
1) Tried diffrent buttons then the Volume Up button, like Back button, Menu button and the # button
2) tried having the USB cable connected to the computer first, then plug in the usb cable to the phone while pressing and holding down Volume Up button, also tried with diffrent buttons while doing this, aswell as doing vice-versa (having the USB connected to the phone first, and connecting it to the computer)
So what is the result of all this? the phone only gets into charging mode, and that's about it, either a green or orange LED starts to show aswell.
Some things worth mentioning:
I used to have a very old version of sonybread with CWM (clockwork mod) but before begining the guide i totally cleaned my phone and even re-flashed it to stock rom with SEUS, so currently my phone is using the stock rom without root and a locked bootloader (as far as i know about the bootloader atleast) and currently the phone is working as intendeed with the stock rom, but in all honesty it sucks using it and therfore i'm trying to put in a stable version of Cynaogenmod.
Also i never managed to get the fastboot comand terminal to work fully when launching it from Android\android-sdk\tools as it missed several comands, so in order to actually get the fastboot to work as intendeed i had to launch it from Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which was the fastboot that came with the SDK and not the one downloaded from the wiki's guide on how to get fastboot.
Something more worth mentioning is that it seems like the device manager can't find the phone while being in charging mode or when i do the "Volume Up button" and connect the USB to the computer thingy, however the phone shows up in device manager if its being started up or is being on.
I do however hear the "a USB connected sound" everytime i connect the phone in any way i've tried when it gets to charging mode, but then it never shows up on device manager.
And last but not least, i'm running a x64 W7 Professional machine.
Sorry for such a long thread, but want to try to explain my problem as troughly as possible aswell as everything i've tried in order to rule out as many other problems aswell.
hey friend.... that post is for mini pro not x10 mini pro...... to connect in flash mode you have to press the back button and then connect the phone via USB..... be sure u have SE tweaker tool for X10 mini pro and Drivers along with GORDON gate driver......
And to add to that the 2010 devices do NOT support fastboot, so it is no wonder it didn't work properly.
And if you tried the bootloader unlockers for the 2011 MiniPro you're just lucky your attempts failed
Try it following these instructions

I see, thanks for the quick reply.
I've decided to scrap the unlocking bootloader thing as it seems to be way more complicated then i tought. i will just stick with using the stock rom untill i get a new phone as this one his toally horrible with the stock rom.
If any mod can mark this question thread as solved and prehaps lock it if necessary it would be good, thanks.

You don't have to stick with stock firmware, in the x10miniPro development section there are a lot of roms based on gingerbread android that will run fine on the stock kernel choose one to your liking.
There's a very clean rom called Clean0.0 v6 you definitly have to check out.
check out minicm7pro.... its the best and most stable..... minicm9 is also good but the battery perfomance was really poor...

No,every custom Rom need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and must be install using CWM RECOVERY,not xRecovery.Some of custom Rom might need a custom kernel too

No that is total rubbish you posted
Not every custom rom needs an unlocked bootloader, you only need an unlocked bootloader if you want to install a custom kernel.
If you choose a rom that will run on the stock kernel, you only need root and either cwm or xrecovery, depending on the installation method of the rom you chose.
If a rom runs only on a custom kernel, then the installation will be done through CWM, because that's what is included in the kernel, on stock kernel you might be ok with xrecovery.

Hi I have an Xperia X10 mini pro with the code 11W25. I want to use the latest MiniCM7 custom rom (I think its MiniCM7-2.2.2) and the powerful nAa 2.6.29-14 kernel to breathe new life to this obsolete stock SE 2.1 firmware. I've been seeing posts saying codes below 11W29 is safe to unlock bootloader. I just want to make sure because I want to unlock it with confidence. Is it safe to unlock the device with the code 11W25?
I've posted this question in the X8 unlock bootloader guide and they said the rules mentioned there is not applicable to X10 mini pro. My X10 mini pro can use different SIM Cards, I mean its not locked to a certain network provider. I received it here in Manila from abroad One more thing, if I wanted to go back to stock, I can use SE PC Companion and it will bring back stock firmware and kernel right? Will it relock bootloader too? I've been watching these videos from youtube doing a guide on how to unlock bootloader and installing the nAa kernel in this youtube channel called minicyanogen(mod)
thanks in advance long live xda =)
Hi everyone
a few days ago i have unlocked the bootloader on my xperia p following the official sony instructions.
After that i downloaded and flashed the sliding xp v5 kernel
Everything worked perfect and i wanted to install a custom rom, and i thought that the vision rom would be perfect.
I installed the vision rom v2 in cwm recovery and everything seemed perfect, i like the rom and everything is good but i have a few problems :-/
First i had the problem that sometimes when the screen locks and turns off,when i press the unlock button the screen wont turn on,i can hear that the phone works when i try to take a ss i hear the soind,but the screen wont turn on until i hard restart the phone :-/
The second problem is that the phone just restarts itself randomly sometimes :-/
And the last thin is that when i go in the dialer to call someone it happebs alot of times that the phone lags a lot there and it happens often that when someobe is calling me or when i call someone that it lags and the phone freezes :-/
Can someone tell me why is this happening,because of the kernel or the rom?
and what should i do to fix it,if possible i would like to keep all the settings which i made because i allready personalized it much....
Thanks to everyone in advance

First that came in my mind is that this kernel and the rom are not for eachother - so try to flash munjeni's kernel and the rom again and try it.
Before that flash stock rom via flash tool to make clean install.

Thanks for your quick reply,right now the internet at my home isn't working so i will have to wait before i try it.
I have never used flashtool before so i want to ask you if anything from my phone will be deleted like apps,contacts or something else?
I have also made a backup using cwm before i installed this rom,would it be ok if i just restore the backup,then flash the new kerbel and after that the vision rom again?

First of all the flash stock rom you need to put the ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares
Then connect the device in flashmode and flash rom (device switched off and to enter flashmode just do vol- and put usb in).
When flashing official stock rom as much as i know you will lose data, and its better to have clean install.
If you flash munjeni's kernel and the rom you want, and if you restore the back up that will flash the old boot.image too, i mean the old kernel and that is not wanted.

Hello i just want to say that i fixed my phone after 4 day of trouble. I used this metod:
Fix 4: By Flashing Hybrom_v10: (Credits: javad01; here)
1. Flash your device's stock gingerbread rom (4.0.2.A.0.62) with flashtool
2. Flash a custom kernel with cwm you like (e.g. rage kernel)
3. Flash Hybrom v10 for mini pro
4. Boot the rom
5. If it's not booting and having a bootloop pull battery
6. Flash stock rom again with flashtool
When i first tried it it didn't work,but i kept trying and it finally worked!

if all the way still doesn't work, bring your device to service center. if your guarantee void, they will charge.
Hi,
I have successfully rooted my Xperia U phone (with ICS 4.0.1), and also installed the CWM.
I have downloaded the experience 2.1.zip rom file and placed the same in internal memory also.
Now when I restart my phone to be able to boot in recovery mode, I am not able to do so.
As soon as press power button, multi-coloured illumination doesn't take place in LED bar. As soons as Sony logo appears, I start pressing the 'Volume Down' button repeatedly, but nothing happens. It simply goes to Xperia logo animation screen and boots the phone with older ROM only.
Am I missing something. Please help. I want to install custom ROM to upgrade to JB, but I am not able to do so as I am not able to boot my phone in Recovery mode, which is required to flash the current ROM and installing new ROM on top of it (as per m knowledge).
Please Help. Urgent.
If video can be uploaded for the solution, i would highly appreciate the work and effort becoz I got frustrated now after following so many procedures given on internet to root / install CWM / boot in recovery. I am done with first two things: Rooting and Installing CWM. I struggling hard to reboot my phone in CWM mode
Thanks in advance.

You better go unlock your bootloader. Trust me, it's better because custom kernels have CWM. But if you want to install CWM your LB phone, it can be done too, by using RecoverX on Windows. Just post your questions here again if you have more problems

I successfully installed a new custom rom 'eXperience v2.1' with XPERIA Z look and feel. But I dint get the following points after doing this :
1. My phone info still says that it has ICS 4.0.4 version. (JB was expected)
2. All settings are related to ICS stock only
Only look and feel is changed as like in xperia Z.
Can you help me in this, why it din't update to JB?

I followed the steps mentioned in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2020897, and now I am able to get my phone restarting in CWM recovery mode. I successfully installed a new custom rom 'eXperience v2.1' with XPERIA Z look and feel. But I dint get the following points after doing this :
1. My phone info still says that it has ICS 4.0.4 version. (JB was expected)
2. All settings are related to ICS stock only
Only look and feel is changed as like in xperia Z.
Can you help me in this, why it din't update to JB?
Thanks.
