Still facing problems in installing nightlies cm10 in wt19i - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Friends
Still I'm facing problems in installing cm10 nightlies
I'm telling you the exact methodwhat I'm doing to install
I'm using cm9 stable, I downloaded cm10 in my mobile, then I move it to my PC and extract boot.img on my PC and I connect my phone to PC in fast boot more and flash the kernel using flashtool in fast boot mode now after disconnecting when I start my phone for flashing rom my phone NEVER BOOTS UP it shows nothing just glowing screen and nothing else , then I again flash my old cm9 kernel and then run my old cm9 rom.
Why it's so?
I want to ask that should I ever the process like first I should flash rom then I flash kernel?
Or any other kernel apart from cm10 kernel will work? If it is possible then please give me the link for that?

You're doing everything correctly. Problem is in kernels ramdisk. It's not in the correct size range so s1 boot loader didn't allow kernel to boot. You can unpack kernel and add some junk files to ramdisk say 400-500 KB. Repack it and it should boot.

How it is done friend?

If you don't know how to done the previous forget about it.
Use cm 10 extended kernel or Lupus for JB, They will work. And flashing one of them is much easier

[Q]What did I miss ?

I there
Just bought brand new xperia ray (unbranded actually )
I unlocked it successfully using THIS METHOD, then I rooted it with DooMLoRD v4 tool, then I installed the CWM and BusyBox using SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8.
Since then, all was okay, stock rom was functionnal and I was able to boot on the recovery, then I made a factory reset under CMW (wipe cache/data) and installed MIUI GB.
Tried to reboot but got stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo for minutes...
So I unplugged the battery and tried to boot in recovery with no success...
Did I miss something ? I am not too worried, I guess there is a way to fix this problem, I'll accept your advices
Did u try any other Rom or just the MIUI?
Did u make a backup of your Stock rom? Can you enter fastboot mode? Try to flash a kernel with cwm. Or try flashing the ICS beta. Or... i have no more ideas
If yes, did u try to restore the stock rom?
Did you flash the kernel to go with the rom?

Lol yeah. The reason I said that was because he said it was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, and I'm not sure if MIUI roms run on Sony Ericsson kernel?
Does it? :-/
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
Every rom i tried came with it's own kernel. Do no realy like Miui so i did no try that one.
Anyway if the kernel is the problem the a fastboot flash correct boot.img should fix the problem.
He should be able to enter CWM using the current kernel right?

MIUI kernels don't usually have the SE logo, so I guess OP didn't flash the kernel that came with the ROM.
Ho yeah, I did not flash any kernel, I think this is the point here...
I thought kernel would be included in the rom image (it's the case on HTC devices)
I am new to sony underground, seems a lil' more complicated, I'll get used to it...
Anyways, as I can't boot into recovery anymore, what can I do to flash the kernel ?
Edit : Of course I did a full backup in CWM before flashing, but i can't use it :/
You have to install flashtool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351324
Then you enter fastboot mode: turn off your phone then hold the vol up button and insert the USB cable. You should see the blue led. this means you are in fastboot mode.
In the installation dir of Flashtool you'll have a x10flasher_lib folder. This is were the fastboot.exe file is.
The easy way is to copy the kernel(usualy a boot.img file) to this folder, then open a command prompt window and flash the kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img if the kernel has a different name then change the boot.img.
Done.
Anyway, if something is wrong someone please correct me.
Thank you.

I am also interested to try the DSC ROM.
I seen on the Dell Streak Wiki there is DSC ver.1.0, that is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs
Is this the latest one? Which version is the stable and latest fully working ones? Can someone advice, thanks.
Currently my baseband is GAUSB1A1406214-EU (i.e. 407), can I just go into CWM (ClockworkMod) and install the DSC ROM? Any other preparation should I make before and do I have to flash other additional zip files to fix things?
I hope I can get some reply on this matters. Thanks.
Dont flash it...i almost bricked my phone trying to do that...had to go to dell service centre to restore the phone...but if u still curious try it...

You can Install a kernel in fastboot only!!
1. Shut down your phone
2. Hold the volume down key
3. Plug the USB cable and release the volume button
4. A blue LED should light
5. Flash the kernel.
6. Enter CWM and delete all the caches

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
if yes, then you might need to flash your stock rom....(i may be wrong on this one)
Did you do the correct wipes?? Also I hope that you didn't wiped the system.....

Are you sure you unlocked the bootloader properly ? Remember me when I did not unlocked it and tried to flash Cm10.
Or else: do you have the right kernel for the right rom ?

[Suggestion]{xperia mini} Cm10.1 with legacy hacks???

Guys is there any CM10.1 rom built including legacy hacks(not expecting a near near source build). Too many strange looking names of roms(ported)......
Also which rom has the highest benchmarks???
Is 3.4 kernel stable with most of the things working????
Also is rooting possible for mini's 4.0.2.A.0.84 stock build without flashing previous firmware(*.62 or *.42) ???
Coming from HTC. Dont know **** about Sony
Can this be done in series?
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Flash recovery
3. Install a custom Rom.
Don't know **** about Sony.

1- not sure what "built including legacy hacks" means.
2- usually we dont care much about benchmark.
3- everything is working with 3.x kernel except fmradio.
4- not sure about rooting for gb or ics stock rom for lock bootloader, but if u unlock it, rooting is just as simple as flash custom kernel and flash superuser or supersu from cwm recovery. Even some of the custom kernel already include autoroot script.

Sony phones dont have separate/dedicated recovery partitions .So usually custom kernels bundle two or more ramdisks which double up as recovery ..It also means flash_image doesnt work ...Dont try ...We have TWRP on some kernels but it's just a hassle imo ...
If you are planning to unlock bootloader then you dont need to revert to .42/.58 ,
In any case you dont need to fall back for rooting

Lol ...
Thats the ONLY way to flash boot.img ..having unlocked bootloader means access to fastboot to allow custom boot.img...
Fastboot flash boot xyzasdf.img
If you are in locked bootloader ,the recovery lies in /system and is accessed via a custom script...
You can't use flash_image and/or dd to flash kernels in android system or recoveries ...locked or unlocked bootloader...custom kernels has to be flashed using fastboot....it's a limitation of Sony device ...considering you mentioned HTC and 4ext ,you probably had a HTC desire and used flash_image and dd,and the kernels could be flashed using recovery...Not so on Sony devices...

Had used HTC explorer and desire HD( only for a short period). Explorer is way far more smooth than xperia mini which is running at 600mhz.

Stock ICS is bit sluggish but GB is just liquid smooth ...
I did use Stock Explorer and it was slow as hell ...nowhere near Xperia mini ...
MDPI processors are far superior with Neon support ..
Probably you should reflash stock firmware...

Are you using a modified version of whatsapp?
If not you should be able to install it.
