Xperia P - Can't flash ROMs other than MIUI? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello,
My friend has a Sony Xperia P and a few weeks ago he flashed the MIUI custom ROM from here. A few days ago, though, he wanted to try something different but he can't seem to flash anything other than MIUI.
He's tried new kernels, ROMs, all while making a full wipe but when he reboots the MIUI bootscreen pops up and it stays there. He then flashes MIUI again and lo and behold, it boots into MIUI.
He doesn't know what's wrong with the device (neither do I, having experience with flashing firmware for both a HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy Note) so any help is welcome!

I think you need to flash stock firmware then install new rom
________________________________
Phone : Xperia U
Rom : Stock ICS modded
Kernel : stock
Bootloader : Unlocked ( thank god)

1) try fastbooting custom kernel then
2) go in recovery do a complete wipe & factory reset ,cache wipe,delvik cache wipe
3);then flash desired from and wipe it all again!!!
If above dun work clean install I mean go back to stock let it boot then repeat from point 1

Hi Everybody. As the title say, I am facing issues with the touch screen when i install Any CM ROM(FXP-Official)/AOSP. At the first boot I Can not unlock my phone or skip the "Tutorial". After Reboot the phone, the problem is still there
*I Flashed the BB recommend for each ROM (.72)
*I Installed the Respective Kernel via Fastboot:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then
- fastboot boot boot.img
*I did a Full Wipe (Cache, Data, Dalvik)
*Format - System
*I flashed ROM
* And....Nothing
Any Solution? Anyone?
Thanks
EDIT. Every SE based ROMs (MIUI etc.) work without that BUG
EDIT. 03/03/13 AROMA Installer also does not work (Only with Vol and Menu buttons)

I know, I did that when i was installing FXP113 or 115 (With respective kernels) i mean the problem is with FXP Kernel and ROM .... Is there any patch or something?
UPDATE: Please Someone Help me... I tried the ICS Official Leak from here ,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594651 and following the Instructions, i STILL get the same issue...: The Touch Screen Does not Work (Hardware buttons works) Anyone?
PS. With AOSP,Mooded and other ICS ROMs with Nightelf,Pwn etc Kernels i don't have that issue
I have the same problem with Cm7, CM9 and MIUI and its kernel in the zip file, but I can not find solutions. My touch screen works only with stock rom or with official Ics kernel beta and Ics rom official and hybrid rom. Solutions?

Sure you did flash custom kernel with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

HiTaaviu,I flashed the costum kernels included in the zip file CM9, CM7, and I also tried Pwn and NightElf kernel, but the touch screen does not work with MIUI cm7 and CM9, touchscreen only works with the stock rom and MooDeD ICS ROM, JJ's HYBRID ROM, AOSP 4.0.3 ICS, ICS SE Beta official with the official kernel ics of sony.
then the problem is not flash the kernel, because ics official kernel works perfectly and then flash the kernel run correctly. But why with the other kernel touch screen wrong?
I do not know how to do it, I can not find any solution!

Pleas write here steps "how do you install MIUI or cm7-9 rom"
Thanx
Etc..
1.downloaded rom xxx.zip
2. kernel xxx.img
3. wipe?
How installed kernel/rom.
Ok, this is the procedure I follow:
1 -Flash .42 with Flashtool
2-Root
3-Unlock bootloader with fastboot (fastboot.exe-i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xMykey)
4-Install cwm recovery
5-Iput zip file downloaded to sd (ex. update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaNeo-MT15i-signed)
4-I put the kernel included in the zip into the fastboot folder and flash (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
6-I go into recovery and wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache
7-Flash zip rom and GAPPS
8-Reboot
9-Phonework but touch screen does not work
I tried with pwn kernel and other but it is the same thing!
The situation that presents itself is equal to this video:
Boot ZTE Blade / Oranage San Francisco (B10) with custom rom with working touch screen(Search in youtube)
I also tried to use the technique in the video but without battery Xperia neo will not turn on.
I do not understand where I'm wrong!
First of all flash .62 ftf by flashtool...then flash the respective custom kernel for the rom...wipe everything and also format everything in cwm ...all custom kernels are pre rooted and cwm recovery ready...now flash the rom and see if it works.

I have flashed .64 firmware official, then i have flashed kernel included in the zip file of CM7.1.0.1, then i have format and wipe everything and flashed rom, but Touch doesn't work!!

Is zdunex miui ics working?
It uses stock kernel.
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk 2
If I use the stock kernel the touchscreen works perfect, but only with the stock kernel
The problem is still here... I tried Every ROM based on CM9 (since FXP129 to CM9 RC2 Official) or AOSP (Polish Blood 4.04) and don't work... Others ROM based on SE (MIUI etc.) Work flawless... WE NEED SOME DEVS HERE, Please...
please, no one can solve this problem ???
Lemme try.
Flash the latest Stock firmware. Boot it up, and go thru the whole setup process. Stock FTF usually got no probs when it comes to hardware.
Run the phone in Stock for awhile (1-2mins), then shut it off. Go into fastboot mode (press and hold "Menu" button while plugging into PC) and flash the kernel from the LATEST version of the ROM you want to use (FXP146 for CM9.1/CM10, FXP110 or something for CM7.2, MIUI2/MIUI4/MIUI4.1). It is usually in the zip itself or the dev would have recommended a kernel. If you don't know how to flash the kernel, PM me.
Boot up phone into recovery, flash new ROM, flash gapps, reboot phone.
BOOM all should be ok

Some kernels work only with some ROMs.
CM ROMs work only with CM kernels.
Hybrom works only with stock based kernels(Rage, X Kernel).
If you want to install another custom ROM, you also need to install another kernel.
Wipe data/reset den install Kernel compatible with yur phone den install via CWM..... just get a kernel dat has CWM to save stress!
yeaaaaaaah the correct kernel and the correct rom work great together
thanks for your response

wi-fi not working in Xperia Pureness

Hello,
I am kinda new to installing custom ROMs and all, but after going through a lot of guides here, i finally managed to unlock BL, root my phone and install night-elf kernel and the Xperia Pureness ROM. Everything works like a charm, the only problem is the wi-fi. Cant connect to my modem at all. Heres whats i did:
1. Rooted phone a few months back(locked BL then).
2. Unlocked BL now.
3. Did a nandroid backup
4. Installed Night-Elf's kernel the one recommended in the Xperia Pureness thread
5. Installed Xperial Pureness Rom and NXT files as per the instructions
6. Reboot.
Now having problems with wi-fi. Erm so is this a bug with the ROM or did i do something wrong along the way? Thank you for the awesome ROM fyi
Did you wipe all the stuff in CWM?
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using Tapatalk 2
yes, i did. Followed as per the instructions and wiped/formatted in the order mentioned.
So guys, should i just reinstall to fix the wi-fi problem or is there any solution for it??
I think yes!
You should flash a clean 4.0.4 firmware using flashtool..
Install the appropriate kernel for it!
Boot into CWM.. Factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache..
And then install the ROM.
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using Tapatalk 2
Dont, i have to root to install CWM??
So, i should install a clean 4.0.4 firmware, stock kernel-->root it-->install cwm->install night-elf kernel-->install Xperia pureness. That's about it??

No problem for me.
Hey, what build are you using?
I have no problems with build 8 and 7 now.
Did you Factory Reset, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in CWM?
If not, try reinstalling it. I had this problem too.
I am using the latest build, build 8.
Took me little over an hour, but i finally did it!!
Installed clean 4.0.4 firmware, clean stock kernel --> rooted --> installed cwm --> installed night-elf kernel --> factory reset and all wiping --> then installed the ROM.
Now my wifi works perfectly. Bit annoying that i have to install all of my apps again but kinda fun too
Thanks everyone for helping me out and special thanks to ThilinaC for the awesome ROM, especially loved the walkman app.

Need Little Help

Hey guys,I own optimus one and I m used to rooting and stuff but my brother owns xperia mini pro so I need to install cyanogenmod (9 or10) whichever is stable.I had gone through various guides and stickies yet I want to be dead sure that I don't mess up my brothers handset. Its kinda new coz bootloader needs to be unlocked and also kernel image needed to be flashed separately unlike in optimus one.
Now I want help of you guys in the following manner like:-
1. My brothers mini pro is on ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and the rooting tutorial provided here for the said firmware
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 is not clear to me coz it says that first I need to install some kernel [only mini mentioned here] then next I need to flash another kernel according to firmware. Can someone explain what is being done in this and why rooting is so complicated in this.
2. Certain ROM's say that you need to flash kernel first using flashtool
My query is that all ROM's that I flashed till now on optimus one included kernel and I only needed to flash ROM zip through cwm.. So do I need to flash kernel everytime I flash ROM!! and isn't there flashable zip for kernel too!!
3. FXP ROM's do not contain things like what's working and what's not, it only has issue tracker so it become difficult for new comer to know the bugs in ROM. Can anyone tell me the least bugs cm9 & cm10 ROM and what are the bugs present.
4. Lastly, should I proceed like this!!
i. Root device (though method isn't clear to me)
ii. unlock bootloader
iii. install cwm (I guess I can do this using flashtool)
iv. backup current ROM along with kernel (for future use,I know its optional)
v. flash kernel using flashtool
vi. flash ROM through cwm.
I m a quick learner and I just need some guidance on this new device (double checking coz its my bro's device) . Looking forward for support. Thanks

You needn't root first if you want to unlock bl, just unlock bl and flash a custom kernel (in most custom kernels cwm is included).
Backup your rom and install the rom...
hmmm....
1. Unlock Bootloader........
2. Flash Custom Kernel (all custom kernel is per-rooted and have CWM).......
3. Boot into CWM and Flash CM9 or CM10 (factory format/wipe dalvik/cache).....
4. Boot into Fastboot And Flash FXP kernel for CM9 or CM10.....
xperia phones aren't like sammy, lg or htc where recovery is a separate partition from kernel. in fact, by default xperia phones doesn't even have "stock recovery" like on other phone. by that we integrate cwm in kernel ramdisk.
and to answer the question:
1- flash custom kernel mean't for your phone only, never ever flash kernel intended for other phone. and its done via fastboot and should be flashed before flashing rom.
2- like i said u can't compare xperia phone with other phone like sammy etc, its different. kernel must be flash via fastboot.
3- for cm10, bugs that i notice is slow accelerator, but fixable with some text editing, and non working front camera for lww and minipro.
4- should be like this, according to order:
- unlock bootloader.
- flash kernel via fastboot.
- boot into cwm.
- backup rom if u want.
- wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. don't wipe system partition or u will get error when flashing rom later.
- flash rom, and gapps if its cm/aokp/pa rom.
- profit :good:
thank you guys.... this made me clear...
one last thing :- which kernel should I flash on stock 4.1.B.0.587 which is pre rooted and have cwm after unlocking bootloader.I mean the one compatible with above firmware and also do I need to do anything with baseband or will it be compatible. After this m ready to enter the custom xperia world
Remember to backup your stock rom before unlocking the bootloader as everything will be wiped clear.

No, i just meant that backup up your contacts, messages, apps (can be done through astro file manager) etc, before unlocking your bootloader because unlocking will wipe your data.

Thank's for sharing, i tried but no luck!!
Anyway FINALY i used this method and its WORKING
When I thought I was about to sell my phone for parts (from almost all .ftf's and kernels- One final attempt:
--I started with a "locked bootloader" - forced pushed cwm-reg.img and installed superuser.apk - Here
--When I got the chance of going into recovery...
Wipe/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
--Flash .62 ftf
--Fastboot XKernel
Boot into recovery
--Installed hybrom v10 (twice - what? I was hopeless and with a little faith made the 2nd install anyway)
--Booted into hybrom v10 (no response whatsoever)
Pulled battery (no way of turning it off)
--Flashed .62 ftf again and prayed (preparing to leave home and go to the nearest used-phone shop to sell my ST15i)
@ First boot everything was back to normal...
After 2 days I have a smile on my face...
