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!

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,

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?

Im currently using ver1.0 Pro but cannot seem to download any other versions after that.
I tried even Infinitum Project, i cant seem to get it pass the start screen.(meaning before the boot animation). Similar when flashing RR ver1.1 onwards
I think i cannot go anywhere after android 4.0.4. I am only able to flash back to v1.0 (Android 4.0.3).
what could be the problem? help?
can u explain the process you followed for the installation of the other roms after 1.0?
oh sorry.
For the RR Pro 1.3
full wipe
installed rom
reboot.
Infinatium project,
Full wipe
installed rom
installed gapps
installed themed gapps
reboot.
I would usually just follow the instructions that are given.
sorry too I were configuring my cellphone, just flashed to the 1.3 and works fine...
sometimes my sd card give me problems and I remove from the device, maybe it's not your case...
and additional to the wipe, I wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the rom.
In the roms in wich I got troubles with the start screen or rebooting its because the baseband (LPQ in my case) and I'm serching foward about these thing...
sorry about my english, but its not my native languaje
can anyone please help.

Apart from asking the dev i suggest a full wipe and clean flash may cure the usual Kernel Panic .

sorry how do i do a clean flash?
when i installed v1.3, i would do a full wipe, (data, cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache)
but this time instead of pinic kernel, my phone wont even reach boot animation.

yeap it just clears the system data, then you can do a clean flash from there. that should do it

If you just relax for a minute , take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Listen to what people are telling you. Follow step by step from the beginning. Read what the developer says on flashing the rom and then it will work. Almost impossible not to get the rom working after that. It will all come together mate. Read a lot of posts. Good luck.

hello..
i've search thru the forum, and my prob is somehow differ than others..
already unlocked bootloader.. apply custom kernel successfully..
step i do to flash rom:
- backup in CWM
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
still stuck at sony logo.. wait around 1 hour.. nothing happened...
then i remove battery, try to boot into cwm..
success..
but the cwm background pic changed with wording "CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7 Full (by DooMLoRD)".. not like before.. and i restored back..
the ROM i tried is Pureness build 3 and jjHybrid 3.1.. both give same problem..
check screenshot of my system below.. is there's any problem with my system?
or it is related to odex?
so.. got any idea or possible solution?
or my phone problem itself?
thx in advance...
try other kernel...
1. Pureness build 3 ,Kernel :Night Elfs ICS Kernel mod
2. jjHybrid 3.1,Kernel Use any of Following
a) STOCK Kernel (No OverClocking)
b) shardul_seth Kernel
c) Night-Elf Kernel
d) Adridu kernel
look at specific thread,you will find the answer.

I see that you are not wiping/formatting your data.. Wiping data is essential when installing a custom ROMs or switching ROMs..
Before wiping cache, format your data first!

it is not enough to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stat etc? becoz i already done all that through CWM.
and a noob question, how to properly format the data? phone data or sdcard data?

The data has to be wiped when you install a custom ROM.. Since some of the data can cause troubles to the new ROM you have installed..
I advice you to do the following when installing a ROM.. Follow step by step..
- Flash the kernel first
- Boot into CWM mode by pressing 'volume down'
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install custom zip from sd card i.e your custom ROM zip file
- reboot now
there you go now!
PS. Data formatting has to be done in CWM mode and it will not erase your sd data! So relax!
Also, press 'Thanks' if I helped you!
CHEERS!

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.
must i tell this in every reply?
this is the exact step doing all of this..
flash kernel via fastboot thru command prompt window..
and flash rom thru cwm with this step..
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe data/factory reset,cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
and chill bro. i have problem here, and i ask about it because i dont know what to do.
and fastboot folder must placed in android-sdk folders or it is not necessary?

Are you sure the kernels are compatible with the custom ROM you are using? Usually the developer suggests some ROMs. Also, you might need a different baseband for the kernels you are using. Which ROM are you using? Some have extra steps you have to perform.

Only boot.img has to be placed in android sdk folder.

Sorry I'm not awake today. Boot.img must be in android sdk and only the fastboot.exe file. I doubt it's got anything to do with that though, if you can successfully flash kernels.

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?

Can someone explain why on some Roms you got bootloop after wipe data/factory reset?
I got this on Clean'N'Tweaked and Original Xperia T ROM?
What 'vital' files are in /data partition to cause this?

wipe data doesn't wipe /system, only /data and /cache.
Also I got bootloop even when performing from Settings -> Backup and restore
I think that rom's have Small Apps.
Small Apps need some cache,almost all two zip's mod need to install part 1,clear cache,reboot,then inatall part 2.
That's why after wipe some roms that includes Small Apps or other 2 zip's mods won't work.

Do u wipe data just after installing without booting even once?
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using xda premium
Hmmmm....The BIG questions is.....Do you wipe/factory reset after flashing custom roms or before flashing custom roms???
if you wipe/factory reset after flashing customs rom then YES you will get bootloop in certain custom roms....if you wipe/factory reset before flashing custom roms then NO you won't get bootloop....
you should also check if the kernel you use is compatible with custom roms you about to flash on your phone....you need flash custom kernel first (using flashtool) before you flash custom roms using CWM....
OK Thanks for the answers. Maybe small apps are caousing boot loop
But I have another question: How Xperia T users using stock Rom when they do factory reset don't get boot loop?

Factory reset can solve the bootloop problem when we flash one ROM over other...
Factory Reset doesn't cause bootloops...
It just wipes the non-system apps and stuff...
Flashing a ROM with different framework over a ROM (like flashing CM over stock based ROM or flashing ICS over GB etc) , without wiping data /factory reset can cause bootloops...
Although there are a hundred other reasons for bootloops but it's the major one
Iknow , its very late ( 4 years ) lol
but its because of framework-res!
if U flash zellycream rom and reset it ----> every thing normal
install small app on stock rom and after reset---> BOOTLOOP

Hi guys im an xperia s LT26i user and i have an unlocked bootloader. Im currently running cm11 rom by raymanfx. The last time i tried to flash 4.1.2 rom i did NOT wipe system and i ended up getting a bootloop and soft brick. So if i am running cm11 and if i want to downgrade to 4.1.2 do i need to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache? cache and dalvik is a must but if i wipe system and data will it work?
You should make a full wipe probably everytime you switch your ROM. So:
- factory reset
- wipe dalvik cache
- format system
So your entire system is clear and if this don't work flash latest Stock ROM first and then the ROM you'ld like to run on your phone
