Hi all
I recently attempted the install of a couple of custom xperia u ROMs while failing. I am unable to access cwm and can't boot into fast boot mode as the computer won't recognize it. Have spent hours trying to. Firstly I need a good guide on how to get windows 7 to recognize it as well as a stock cwm flash able zip for the st25a Australian version of possible
Thanks
I had a similar problem recently with a HTC HD2, no recovery, so I had to do a hard reset terminal and start from the begining.
Sometimes the USB connection also fails with computer, records excesses device links. Download "USB Oblivion" check real clean and run (remove all those links).
I have a Xperia Arc S, I advise you to start download one stock rom with root possibility and I'll leave a works based recovery (CWM Auto-installer Xperia 4.apk). With this phone I had some problems with the new Xpart7, recovery and install roms.Best used this old to start.
Another option, if you have the bootloader unlocked, would flash a kernel with a version of CWM included and that works for the rom you are installing. Once there, you restore or install your desired rom that surely you have prepared.
Good luck, hope I've helped.
PD: I am Spanish, and I don´t write an advanced English, if any problems, quiet, I'll start posting in my language and you, if you are interested, you translate it
Saludos.
Thanks! Will try when I get home. Another question: do you need an unlocked boot loader to install custom ROMs and is there one that doesn't have to be installed over the stock firmware
Thanks

most custom roms can be installed on the stock kernel, so in that case you dont need unlocked bootloader, but if you use custom kernel you will need unlocked bootloader.

custom roms based on stock only can be installed........

You are in the need to download the adb-drivers for your mobile and just install it along with the sdk then your computer will detect it as a fastboot device.

hi, recently i have installed some MIUI rom on my neo v, and was working perfect. but i wanted to go back to the stock roms, but i had a problem, and it was that it would take about 2 hours for every percent (using flashtool) !!! so i tried changing kernels, and the problem presisted, until i dont know how, i removed the kernel, and i couldn't install one again cuz it said that for doing so, i need to root my phone.
so basically, i have a phone without kernel and rom! can anyone help me fix it?
You don't need to root your phone to flash kernels. Flash kernels using fastboot. Do you have a nandroid backup?
Flash a stock ftf, sounds like you might have relocked your bootloader

well im only trying to flash a stock ftf, but im having the problem i said before!
and i have tried to do it in locked and unlocked bootloader, but there was no difference!
how many pc programs are there that can flash a rom?
is there any that can flash MIUI or CM roms (i mean zip ones)?
Flashtool for flash firmware like FTF file or flash kernel.
Fastboot for flash kernel only.
CWM for flash ROM through SD Card.
If u want revert back to stock.u will need FTF file and the right one flashtool...tick no verification final.

Let's start with flashing a Stock ftf. U have one already. Use flashtool and do all as instructed. Untick Final Verification. Even if it is 2 hours per percent, just let it run. Perhaps your PC is slow.
And don't worry about battery running out. Did you know that when using recovery, if you remove the battery while the phone is still plugged into the computer, it won't turn off? It should be the same when using flashtool. Don't worry about battery
Once done, boot up your phone to check everything is done. If this worked, PM me, and I'll guide you through a MIUI flash.
You're welcome
1 more thing. Redownload the ftf. Maybe it is buggy.
Hey bro.
Is it fixed? Please let us know
sorry for being late to response!
good news, i fixed it! I dont know why i didn't try it sooner, but i tried flashing it with another pc, and it worked!
now i want some good roms for it,preferably based on JB. what are the bests out there?
BTW, Jass, your theory about "infinite battery while connected to pc" didn't turned out to be true, and it made me buy a direct charger! so please do not do this at home, school or...
when flashing ftf roms check in log to see if it gets stuck in this message [Ending Flash Session] (cuz it wont continue flash anymore)
if yes
plug out the usb
restarst your computer
try different usb ports

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
Hey guys, I'm sorry if I made a mistake making this topic here. In case I didn't, help me please.
In last couple of days I'm trying to find the best custom ROM for my X10 mini. The problem is that I CANNON unlock my bootloader so every ROM which requires it is out. I couldn't find anything really good, so If you know any please share it with me, thanks

This should be in the Q&A section, and what is really good really depends on what you want from your phone. Not sure if you couldn't find anything, or didn't like what you did find...
Well, as I said, I want the best one, faster, less bugs, etc... As there is GingerDx v31 for x8, it's pretty good

No he doesn't, not for just a custom ROM anyway, and he already said he can't unlock his bootloader.
Start with this one, it's the last MiniCM7 by nAa which ran on stock kernel, based on Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Get this (ClockWorkMod) and put it on your sd-card
Put the ROM on your sd-card too
Get flashtool (It's in the first post in the x10mini dev section)
Install it
If you do NOT have Sony Update Service or PC Companion then:
Install flashtool-drivers from the drivers subfolder and choose E10i Xperia X10Mini
Press the Padlock button in flashtool, this will root your phone
Press the Swiss flag (Plus) button in flashtool, this will install xRecovery
Choose Tools - Reboot - Recovery - Reboot default recovery
On your phone: Choose 'Install zip from sd-card' - Choose custom zip
Select CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Amend.zip
Select yes
Reboot your phone and press the back-button repeatedly just before and when the sony ericsson logo appears.
Choose backup and restore - backup (This will back up your current system and data so you can get it back later should you want to)
Choose Install zip from sd-card - Choose custom zip
Select MiniCM7-2.0.7.zip
Select yes
Do: Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
In the advanced submenu: Wipe Dalvik-cache
Reboot the phone and enjoy your new ROM
(You will have lost all your user-data so maybe it's a good idea to back up at least your contact-list to sd-card, which can be done when you enter the contacts app and press the menu-button, it will create a file on your sd-card that you can import again later.)

Oh.. and I think you need to find Google Apps for Gingerbread too if you want the play-store, flash them the way you flash the ROM,
Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Thank you a lot for your help.

Now the rom is installed or whatever it is but the UI has completely changed and it's not like the pics on the site... It's just completely black...

As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools
Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2
One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?
ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly
Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then
format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard
Reboot System..
You should be clear now..
Hope i helped..
Regards..
PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs..
EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..
then follow my steps above..
DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.

Yup u r correct..
Hello, I have one big problem with my mate 10 lite
The problem is, when i flash twrp everything is okay, but when i try to flash any custom rom - I always have bootloop, on every custom :/
I tried to use eRecovery to install stock but it ends in the same way - bootloop
What can I do?
I really wanted to switch for custom...
Try using 338 stock rom and then install custom rom.

what if i want to change custom to another custom?
because i found instruction to flash custom (in aex thread) and its only possible way to flash rom on my device, so how to flash another rom?

You can install other custom ROMs even if you are already on a custom ROM. The thing is all steps indicated
in custom ROM threads, ask you to wipe, and format so already they are cleaning necessary things, before actual
installation (flashing) step starts. But the cleaning is not like a proper clean i.e. done by stock recovery, so if you want
to install a new custom ROM, its better to first install Stock recovery, then wipe/format, then install TWRP, and proceed
with new Custom ROM installation.
If any thing does not work for you, then install ur stock ROM, and then install the new custom ROM ur interested in.

I reckon you must have missed some step, as I did tried most of the ROMs shared in this mate 10 lite
section of XDA forums. Specially the part after installation which says to flash Stock recovery n give it a wipe/format that makes the ROM installation proper, later you can install custom recovery.
For stock ROM, HuruUpdater works with TWRP, try one version of HuruUpdater, if it does not work change your
custom recovery to some other custom recovery (other TWRP, you will find many in this forum), and eventually
one of them will work for u. Still, it doesnt work, change the HuruUpdater version to an earlier version, and repeat
the process.

There is no best recovery that will work in every possible situation (e.g. Stock ROM flashing, Custom ROM flashing, backup/restore etc.). So for each custom ROM u better use the recovery that is indicated in that custom ROM thread.
