Hey guys,
I have a Xperia Sola (locked BL) and I try to cook my own ROM. It has a base ROM, but it's modified by my own
The ROM is prerooted but I'm asking me if there is any chance to preinstall CWM on a Stock based ROM. The FireDroid ROM from atis112 has also CWM preinstalled, so isn't it possible to preinstall it?
If you have any solution, please share it
Thanks in advance
Hey mate,
Long time no see Nice to see you are getting started in rom modding and yes it's easily done just download the installer of cwm for locked bootloaser you want, then copy over the chargemon, charger and recovery.tar files to /system/bin and sh to system/Xbin....
Looking forward to your work
Cheers
AW: [Q] Preinstall CWM?
Thanks soooo much!*-* Hope it'll work

Hey everyone,
Do anyone have the stock kernel in a zip format which i can use to flash? Many thanks in advance
To return back to stock kernel you just need the right chargemon file..it dipends on which recovery are you using..pay attention cause if you flash the wrong chargemon you will break your recovery and you need to reflash original firmware with flashtool..anyway you can find chargemon file for stock kernel in doomlord custok kernel thread..take a look..i can't give you a direct link cause i'm in mobile..but you can easily find it yourself! if you find it,don't forget that this is for freexperia recovery only..so don't flash if you are on xrecovery! Hope this help

Installing FreeXperia recovery from Flashtool will do the trick
Supporting UNLOCKED bootloader only! :-/
So this is simply stock ICS build .587 without ANY mods, flashable in CWM
The only thing I did, is remove the humongous amount of what I think is bloatware.
But fear not, if you're really fond of those 68 apks (61MB), I've created a flashable package for you to flash 'em back
I did this in an attempt to make it easier for some guys who keep asking how to root ICS even though there are several guides on XDA
Also, it could maybe be used as a basis for ROM cooking/ building.
Need help with unlocked bootloader support!!
I have an unlocked bootloader (official way).
I re-locked it again just to test if this ROM would work on locked BL.
No luck. It flashes just fine on unlocked BL. And when I re-lock, it continues to boot fine (stock kernel).
But when I re-flash the ROM from inbuilt CWM, it gets stuck at sony logo -.-
I would really appreciate some help to make this work on unlocked bootloader!?
Anyway... it does work fine on unlocked BL!
So enjoy!

I'm sorry about that problem, my bad...
I'm not really sure which app that is, try widgetonoff.apk
If not, just flash the removed_app zip file to return all apps. Then you can remove apps you don't want.
That's why I uploaded removed apps in the first place.

You need to flash an ICS kernel. everything works except FXP kernel.
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.

wont I be able to backup after flashing custom kernel and unlocking bootloader..I guess I can.. correct me if I m wrong

how will cwm be installed without unlocking??

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.

Hey guys, so I PMed Munjeni about his post that, he said that I need stock chargemon for his kernel.
I have installed CWM from Atis112 which, I think, modified the chargemon.
So I have 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel with unlocked bootloader. I want to install Munjeni's kernel, with CWM and memory tweak but I need stock chargemon, so can anyone give me it or something? And how to install it properly?
Thanks!
Can't anyone answer me? :S
Hey guys,
I'm at stock rom (latest Italian ics)

I guess I can make it easy like the kernel with CWM and root with rom,,, something like that :-/
please if it possible give me steps and links with each step
and with links to overclocked kernel and good custom ics rom
Forgive me, I know they are all prediscussed before, but in separate ways which is too hard for me :-S
