Boot into recovery by pressing vol down button when u see sony logo
U enter recovery
Go to install zip from sd card
Choose any zip u want to install
(wipe dalvik / cache if installation method in original posts asks to do so)
I'm guessing you haven't installed cwm recovery yet, look for it in development section of your device.

I tried atis 1.2 for cwm it stuck at step one showing waiting for device, do I need to install Any drivers required for it and thanks for ur display
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Yes adb drivers to be installed on your computer. Phone kept in adb debugging mode.
Sent from my ST27i
Does Adb means usb debugging
Can you provide link for it
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Adb is android debug bridge. It needs debugging mode enabled to run on phone. Look around for drivers or get it from android sdk. It was a real pain even for me.

I have just made a zip of the ICS FTF for a friend.
My questions are: is there one already and I just wasted my time?
If not, does anybody want to test it as I won't be able to check on my friend's phone for another two days.
I've removed some apps and rooted it.

There is none,as far as i know,n is it for st25i or st25a..please gimme the link,i'll test it n report back..also.does the recovery works even after the update..??
I haven't added the kernel, so I think the ROM would have to be flashed in recovery first, then flash the stock kernel in Flashtool. I could upload that as well if needed.
I could look into adding the kernel, I think it's just a few lines in the update script. It's unlikely to have recovery though. Don't know how to do that yet.
I'm not familiar with adding kernels because I've only tried with a phone that can't flash kernels in recovery.
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda app-developers app
As far as I know it is a, but I've changed the build.prop to i. I read as long as you don't flash the baseband it should be OK.

Hi again .
CWM and xrecovery are both recovery versions used to flash new ROMs. You can only use one or the other. Assuming you are on stock kernel, install xrecovery as described in many tutorials.
CWM comes preinstalled with pretty much all custom kernels, which you can only use with an unlocked bootloader.
Link for xrecovery tutorial:

Please press the THANKS button if I helped .
Wait, i have to unlock the bootlpader before flashing roms in cwm?

No, not at all. CWM and xrecovery are basically the same thing. What I meant was that, if you are on a custom kernel, you don't have to install CWM again, because it is already preinstalled. You don't have to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom ROM, all you need is root and xrecovery.

Have you set the right permissions(if your using root explorer or a similar filemanager, long press the files, go to permissions and tick everything there)?

Nothing happened, it download and flashed, I granted adb su permission but could not enter CWM after boot.
I think to install through this file is easier than the above method...
Connect ur device
just extract this file and open install.bat and after sumtym cmd will report Profit!! click any button to exit and cwm is flashed....

Is that necessary to rename any custom kernel to "boot.img" before flashing it (via FLAHTOOL.exe) ?
I want know this bcoz I flashed a kernel(not renamed to 'boot.img') and after that installed a ROM(for unlocked BL only) via CWM and got black screen or bootloop... Please help meh..
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
You can change kernel name,but make sure you type in command prompt with the same name with kernel.
Flash kernel must from a PC ,cant flash through CWM.Before flash kernel make sure you have unlock your bootloader.
My BL is unlocked!!
What do you mean by "command prompt with the same name of kernel ?“
Please say in details...
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
When you renamed the boot image i.e (PACMAN.IMG)...you must type in DOS command prompt like this fastboot flash boot PACMAN.IMG .
Sorry man... Im using flahtool.exe for flashing

Since you are using flashtool it is not necessary to rename the kernel to boot.img

No need to rename the kernel as boot.img.. But make sure the kernel u r flashing is compatible with the rom... Otherwise ur phone will not boot & u will face bootloop... Like GB ROM = GB Kernel, ICS ROM = ICS Kernel & JB ROM = JB Kernel

If you would read the rom thread properly no one has told that the kernel is inside the zip. It is is written that you have to flash fusion 5.4.

First of all, when you want help about specific doftware provide a link to it's thread/web page.
Second, before you brick your phone and come asking for help, see if this ROM is for locked or unlocked boot loader. If it's for locked BL and yours is locked, either unlock your BL (read about it first) or stay away from this ROM.
