Hello,
I have a locked BL with a stock .54 firmware (Xperia P), I rooted and flashed a rom recently which worked perfectly.
I just read that a FXP207 ROM was avalaible for locked BL, so I tried to install it: I did the following:
(This rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130986)
Data/factory reset
Wipe cache & Dalvik
Flash the rom
Flas GAPPS
Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Except now, the phone is stuck at the SONY logo, and if I press the volume UP + Start button (to reboot), i can't go to CWM to flash/Reflash something else.
Is there a way of doing anything ?
Regards,
FoX
PS: did not post that in the ROM topic because I don't have the reply right.
Edit1: Oh, I just noticed that I forgot to re-flash the stock .54FTF firmware... could that be the cause? Do I just have to wait for the phone to shutdown (I only know how to reboot it) and flash the firmware ?
Update1: Successfully (by keeping volume up + power) shut down the phone, flashed .54 firmware, no change.
Problem solved via flashing .54 properly.

I have a similar problem. I think my phone is incompatible with DoomKernel. What I did was flash a different custom kernel and so far it's working okay.
Hi guys, I advice to restart all in zero.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, then you don't need azuzu's rooting method, just simply flash the doom kernel v5 through flashtool then install your favourite custom rom.

I'm trying to install a KA07 Xperia SSpeed Rom.
But i stuck at boot animation.
What i did?
Unlocked the Bootloader.
Flashed Xperia S .76 FTF.(It is booting).
Then flashed the Advance stock kernel form DOOMLord.
Booted into .76 FW,its working.
Then Rebooted into recovery.
Wiped Dlavik Cache.
Wiped Factory Reset.
Installed KA07_Xperia_SSpeed.zip
But it stuck at boot animation.
Why?
hello (and sorry for my bad english)
try this (that's what i do and it's ok) :
-flash76 ftf with flashtool and reboot for a while (10mn, try if all is ok)
- flash 76 preroot with fastboot and reboot for a while...
- install doom kernel (v1a, wifi modules, etc...v4a...aroma..) and boot for a while
-boot in doom recovery for wipe dalvik cache and install ka07 with aroma...
-boot for a while, try the rom,
-boot in recovery and format cache, wipe dalvik
I have done this and , for my phone, all is ok...
I have read some people have installed first the ka6 then ka7...
I wish it can help you...
Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

1.first install any cm9 kernal
2. Boot into CWM recovery(by pressing the back key repeatedly when you see kernel logo & notification led)
3. Perform a full wipe (wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition & advanced > wipe dalvik cache)
4. Install JB ROM & if Google Apps is not yet included in your ROM install that too without rebooting
5. After that do NOT reboot, while still in CWM recovery, take your battery off >> wait 10 seconds & put it back again
6.Flash cm10 kernel using Flashtool then reboot.
Having same problem - solved (thanks @UP)
And when you turning ur phone on after rom install, disconnect USB
Hi, newbie here. I have trouble with wifi. My phone is Xperia P
I installed aospa rom, at the beginning everything was fine but few hours later I couldnt turn wifi on. I didint know what to do, so I just factory reset the phone. Same thing happened.
Then I installed Blur Line (CM 11) rom, same thing happened again.
On advanced setting it says Mac adress unavailable (idk if this is related with problem)
I searched google and xda for possible solutions.
solution 1 is installing sqlite editor and changing "wifi_display_on" value to 0
this didnt work because it was already 0
solution 2: settings/wi-fi/advanced/wi-fi region code
this didnt work too. I select Turkey (I live in Turkey) but whenever I exit settings and turn back none of the region is selected.
solution 3: copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin file to somewhere
it is on motorola atrix hd thread, so idk if this can work for my phone too. I downloaded it but havent tried yet
Do you think it can work for my phone, or is there any "wifi fix file" for Xperia P
What sould I do now? Should I install another rom (slimkat, pacman, miui v5) or is there any solution for fixing wifi?
Thanks for replies.
Describe the steps you followed to install the ROM.

My phone was on stock rom, rooted and cwm installed.
First I unlock bootloader via flashtool, then I flash the boot.img via flashtool
I flash the rom and gapps with cwm (wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset) but then I flash the rom with twrp (wipe data, cache etc) again.
i dont know if I wipe some important data
formerly I installed some stock base roms via cwm, and I didnt wipe anything extra this time
I backuped TA partition before unlock bootloader. Is wifi work if I relock bootloader and flash stock rom & kernel

Seems like some kernel modules are missing.
This is a sure method-procedure that I follow for flashing a new ROM on my and on my friends' XP.
1)flash stock JB firmware(ftf) using flashtool.
2)flash boot.img from the ROM you want to flash, using flashtool.
3)reboot in twrp using power button during boot up.
4)wipe data, cache, dalvik.
5)flash ROM + gapps and reboot.
