Hi, I really want to be in the safe side here, very much afraid of doing something un-fixable:
I've got the Sola with Ginger Bread (2.3.7) with build number 6.1.1.B.1.54. :::: ¿Is it totally SAFE to flash the CM9 in my situation?
I ask this cause it seems that pretty much everybody in the forums seem to be flashing from the ICS(4.0.4) 6.1.1.B.1.10...
(¿Also: should I flash a recovery (like munjeni's Sony Xperia Sola boot for 6.0.B.3.184 + root + CWM recovery v5.5.0.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901134 )
first in order to have a guranteed backup of the Sony original everything??)
Thanks in advance, kind of confused here...

you could always flash back the stock ROM incase of softbricks............. you mentioned that you are using GB butr the build number (6.1.1.B.1.54) is i guess of ICS latest firmware.......... so first confrm which version are you running.,,,,,,,,,,
For FXP you will have to flash ICS first (i guess) and then install the CWM followed by FXP CM9.1..................

Sorry, you're right: I pasted the wrong build, it's actually : 6.0.B.3.184
How do I install ICS? ¿Through Fastboot?

Okies u want a complete backup
So I guess ur bootloader is unlocked
Flash munjeni's kernel or just install cwm
Do a nandroid backup from cwm( yes it backups everything)
And then flash. 54 fw (ics) (latest changelog of fxp 202 requires u to have this fw)
Bt u r already having this
And dun worry about soft bricks they are easily recoverable... anyone here can help u if u get one

use PC companion to install latest .54 FW for ICS (if BL locked) and then CWM and then the CM9............
If unlocked bootloader then flash the .54 FW using flashtool and then CWM and the CM9.................

Thanks, using Mac here, but I'm glad to find out that Sony FINALLY provided an interface for Mac users ("Sony Bridge for Mac"), so I did the regular upgrade to ICS w/.54.
Gonna go ahead and flash munjeni's kernel + CWM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029 )
(¿wouldn't be a good idea that someone asked munjeni to change the name of the thread to "etc 6.1.1.B.1.10 (and .54) + etc"?? It took me a while to find it, using both google and the forum's search, as I was always dismissing it thinking the .10 build wouldn't work for the .54...
I mean, in the interest of future knoobs like me. I tried to post, but it's locked to non-developers)

Cant you enter into flashmode????
Question
Need More details:
1)Locked or Unlocked Bootloader?
2)Which stock kernel you flashed? Downloaded from?
3)[If Locked Bootloader] Can you enter xrecovery? If can, make full wipe, clear cache partition, install new ROM via "install custom zip from SDcard.
4)[If Unlocked Bootloader] Try flash some custom Kernel for Unlocked bootloader like DooMKernel, see whether it reach recovery mode or not.
Sincerely,
whitefang
If can, pls kindly hit thanks button as an appreciation

This tread should be in Q&A not in DEV.
Anyway do U have bootloader unlocked?
That rom is a 2.3 rom and you need to have and unlocked bootloader. You need to have 2.3 on your device first which would you would find in my signature below. So skip through the tread and find 2.3 Download it and flash it and try the rom again.

Dude u r in 2.1 now. It has a baseband of .49 or .54. GB needs a baseband of .71. So the only option is first u download a pre-rooted firmware image and flash it via flashtool. U will boot into GB. Then unlock bootloader using Laser's method and install custom kernel like DoomKernel.
Follow this method
[RECOVERY image] {v2} X10 GB 3.0.1.G.0.75 [Prerooted + Fixed xRecovery] to insatll the prerooted firmware using flashtool.
Unlock bootloader using this steps from
[HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10
Then flash DoomKernel from this link
[KERNEL][X10] DooMKernel [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS]{Rel:v06}[Dt:10/Jan][FW3.0.1.G.0.75] and boot up into stock rom or the previous GB rom u r using.
For Stock based roms, DoomKernel is simply the best.
For CM7 based roms, use FXP 130 kernel provided here FXP 130 and
For CM9 based roms, use FXP 132 kernel for better performance which u can download in FXP CM9 Thread.

He hasnt even updated to GB.. Still in stock 2.1.
Don't scare the guy with laser's method for now he is starting out small like we at one time were(im still growing) , the latest version of flashtools could do it easy. Its all in my signature if you tries it.

but i dont know wich kernel to install
i will write here what i did
so other can have an easy install
thanks to brenty108 for the help
If that rom is in ftf format
Open with 7zip or winrar
Look for kernel.sin
And place it in a folder
In flashtool create kernel
Point it to the folder containing kernel.sin
You should then be able to place your created kernel into firmware folder and flash it
I haven't had much experience with those roms so it's just a suggestion

You need to install a kernel called fxp132 from team fxp for ICS ROM to work... see my other posts in Q&A.. I have uploaded it somewhere.. you should be able to access through my profile->-> posts.

If you have already unlocked bootloader
You can now flash kernels supports clockworkmod(cwm) thru fastboot
I preferred night elf kernel v1.5 for ics cause it is more useful..
And after flashing kernel..u can easily flash root and roms you like

Other thing..if you want to flash cm9 or cm10
Download it>extract its kernel from zip>flash kernel thru fastboot>

If you're asking that kind of question, use flashtool.
But try sometime to use fastboot from Android sdk.

Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).
Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue )
Solution:
Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.
Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.

Hi guys I am sorry I've been reading a gazillion articles today and I simply got very confused with all this things. All I want to do is install CWM and then install CM10 or 10.1 on my ST15i. Bootloader is already unlocked with official Sony guide and Bootloader code I didn't know if it had to be done before root but I did it anyway. I tried many MANY options including Flashtool, RecoverX and some other things. I do have everything setup but I think I am having problem with my baseband. It's 4.0.2.A.0.84 and I don't see 84 anywhere. Can you please just at list point me on where I can find 84 root instructions or may be downgrade to other baseband cause I do see some older baseband rooting instructions in here.
Thank you very much. I really can use some help.

this is not q and a

though u don't need anything else if u have an unlocked bootloader,
download the rom, and gapps
extract to pc and copy to sd
flash boot.img in fastboot
boot into cwm(u'll have after you flash kernel)
flash zip from sd card, romm and gapps.
Okay this is what I call "From last dying breath" I found this life saving post. I was be able to downgrade to 42 using flashtool 0.9.10.1, then root device with same tool, then use RecoverX to install CWM and ...well then I did backup of my current system and that's it.
Thank you guys for bringing all this knowlege I guess if you search long and hard enough you'll do it cause it's out there. In my case it was just that I didn't see that baseband and android version have nothing to do with each other ...like 4.x.x should be ICS right ? ,,,,no it still showing Android 2.3.x
Anyhow thanks a lot !

Sorry, my bad it's just late totally fried in here.
Just flash any pre rooted kernel with cwm and then no need to root it again. Anyways if u want to root.84, then follow the same method that is for .62 and u might be successful. Please let me know if u cud do it
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
the .84 baseband is GB based ...you will need .587 ICS baseband(Baseband 77) for CM 9.1,10,10.1
Upgrade to ICS .587 (there are bunch of ftf here and there )
then follow this instructions
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_smultron
Get the release wither from CM or from FXP ..Both are same usually ...FXP is weekly ...
Root is not needed to flash ROMs with unlock Bootloader ..The fastboot kernel has recovery and is prerooted usually
The problem is .431 and .587 are on ICS bootloaders (Baseband 77)\
and 0.62 and 0.84 is on GB bootloader ..(Baseband 84)
.84 may be newer firmware but it is still GB ..
Upgrade to ICS for CM
