Hi all i cant get the flashing to work..
im following the [ROOT][FTF][locked/unlocked]Neo/Neo V Official 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.431; 4.1.B.0.587. thread
and tried Rosh547467 example
1- ICS 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587)
2. Still locked bootloader. (my phone is unlocked as what i can see with SE bootloader)
3. Flashed 4.1.A.0.562 kernel using Flash tool. (flashtool wont work, its just stuck in "1- unplug the device window" when i try to flash. so i tried SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking and actually did flash 4.1.A.0.562. BUT choose the version with only the kernel and loader. So now the phone dosent have a rom to work correctly.)
4. Done rooting with the help of DooMLoRD's script. (then tried to use this. just keep geting adb drivers to old or waiting for device.)
these bellow i havent tried becouse im stuck.. :crying: I really need help badly..
5. Flashed back 4.1.B.0.587 kernel using Flashtool.
6. Root success. .Tested with rootcheck apps from google play store.
7. Installed CWM from x-part app downloaded from google play store.
8. Installed Titanium backup app and took back of whole app+data.
9. Downloaded custom ROM Xperia ultimate HD 3.0.2 and installed using cwm reboot recovery.
10. Reinstalled my old applications from google play store and restored data from Titanium backup.
Flashing ftf doesnt require root or unlocked BL. you just need correct drivers and latest flashtool.
But if you have unlocked BL, then via fastboot flash any custom kernel which have CWM preinstalled. then flash SuperUser.zip via CWM. you'll be rooted.
i did get this to flash [boof KERNEL] WITH CWM AND ROOT FOR MT11i BASED ON 4.0.2.A.0.62 FIRMWARE
and installed superuser via cwm
and put the zelly cream 2.5.2 rom in.
but when the phone start up, I just get the sony logo. Then it stops
then i found that zelly cream wants suave-kernel. but now im stuck on no wi-fi..
AW: big problem with flashing

Try to reboot your phone. Also look if suave requires extra WiFi modules to work. Mostly they can be flashed with cwm.

Nop sorry dint help. got suave-kernel-v6 on it now but i cant find any wifi modules..
At last it sorted. In my quest do make the rooting and flashing work i did over look one thing.
You need to
4. Wipe data/factory reset.
5. Wipe cache partition.
6. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
7. Wipe battery stats under advanced menu.
8. Format data under mount and storage menu.
9. Format system under mount and storage menu.
10. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
before you install the Rom :silly:
But now my wife wont kill me, becouse i played with her phone :victory:

I own a SE Xperia X10i since it got released. Current versions of software in my phone are:
Model: X10i
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 / [email protected] #1
Build: 3.0.1.G.0.7.5
Files and programs I have and use:
- Flashtool 2.9.1
- ulBlDoom.zip (for unlocked bootloader, obtained via forumthread of ROM named above)
- x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip (for unlocked bootloader)
- Speed&Hotfix004.zip
I wanted to flash a the Wolfs TW Gingerbread V7b6 custom ROM, but I had troubles getting the WiFi module to work. Here is what I did:
00) Copied all relevant zipfiles on the sdcard of my phone
01) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to downgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
02) Root (using flashtool Root button)
03) Used Flashtool 2.9.1 to upgrade kernel with aZuZu loader.sin (supplied with flashtool)
04) Used flashtool to install xRec
05) Rebooted phone to update Superuser and Busybox to latest version available on market
06) Rebooted in xRec and made a backup of the current rom
07) xRec: Factory Reset (full wipe), wipe Cache, wipe Dalvik as said in Wolfs TW GB thread
08) xRec: Install custom zip (ulBlDoom.zip)
09) xRec: Install custom zip (x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-FS_wifi.zip)
10) xRec: Install custom zip (Speed&Hotfix004.zip)
10) Reboot phone
At this point the phone reboots and starts loading the new custom ROM. It fully starts and I can see that it actually is the new ROM. All functions seem to work (didn't test much though), except WiFi. Whenever I try to enable wifi from the menu it says "fault", right after pushing the softbutton.
I read all kinds of threads here on the forum, but I am too inexperienced to figure out what is wrong. All the information I find overwhelmes me and confuses me more and more.
Anyone here who can tell me what I missed or did wrong?
First of all man, there is flashtool ver. 7 and u using 2.9? Now u just click root and this is the end.
U should do it again, it will help for sure.
So repair phone in pc companion, reboot, check usb debbuging in settings, turn on newest flashtool, plug in turned on phone to pc, click root (wait a while, phone restarts) do not unplug, click instal xrecovery and this is first part.
If battery is low charge to 100%, copy all files to sd card, reboot in xrecovery, install rom and reboot, i think its better to reboot any time u flash sometnig, not all together. So reboot do not do anything skip everything wait a 5 min and reboot in xrec again then install wifi fix and reboot, not so sure about this Speed&Hotfix004.zip i cant remember Ive installed them, but for now try just rom and wifi fix and let me know will it work for u

Flashtool version 8 even! Don't know how i got to 2.9. Perhaps found it somewhere in the Demonlord kernel thread. The full folder name is "FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec".
I am going to try what you said, do the rooting and unlocking part, and then install the ROM.
On the previous attempts the rooting etc. went fine though. Got exactly the same results as suggested by the various how-to's explaining the procedure.
hi guys.,
ive managed to root my fone./
'now it is
4.0.3
4.1.a.0.562
i have rooted my fone. i can see superuser also.
what i did next was placing the rom in my sd card. and then i installed rom manager fromthe android market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=16039190 this is the rom i downlaoded.
i rebooted my phone and went to the recovery console and chose to install the rom,
did it. restarted the phone and it hung at the sony logo.
I think the rom you try to install is not compatible with "Rom Manager" instead you had to try CWM, but Now you should repair your phone using SEUS to recover the original rom, and then root it again, install CWM and then you may try your custom Rom, one more thing to note, if the custom rom required any specific kernel, then you have to install the custom kernel 1st.
any other rom which is simple to test on the neo -v?
is there any rom that u can recomemd that i can just dump into my sd card and use it to test for the tiume being?
as in. ..
i download the rom..
i reboot the phome to recovery mode.
then i choose the zip file to install and thats all about it
i just wanna get tryu to see if it works.
i dont understand this kernal stuff.
You already asked this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27478508&postcount=15 thread closed.
Hey guys,
actually I didn't want to create a thread for this as I thought I might resolve it myself or that I'll find the answer elsewhere.. But after 5 attempts with each different methods, I don't know what to try anymore.
I have the Xperia MIni (st15) and I want to try the Smultronic ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796272). My attempts looked like this:
I flashed the ICS .587 stock ROM via Flashtool to get a clean thing to start with (including full wipe)
I root by flashing the .562 kernel, run the Doomlord script to gain root access and reflash the .587 stock kernel
I install CWM (xparts or cwm-install script, both works and doesn't make any difference)
I choose the smultronic 5.0 ".zip" in CWM (no wipe) and follow the instructions in Aroma installer. (Unlocked Bootloader chosen, as I have one).
The installation finishes successfully after a few seconds (!) and I am proposed to reboot.
The result of this is that my phone will get stuck at the SONY screen (>20 min.), which up to my knowledge means that there is no boot process for a ROM, just the bootloader showing it is alive.
I tried a bunch of things, like starting from a "used" stock ROM, fully wipe the system (+Dalvik) before starting the installation or choosing another Recovery installation method. No problem to recover any stock rom, but Smultronic still don't want to start when I try the above again.
I really feel a bit stupid, as this ROM is actually made for my particular device, and I don't manage to install it. Anyone finds the error?
Thanks a lot.

If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you using xparts to install cwm instead of a custom kernel?
To your problem, boot in cwm, do the wipe data/factory reset, install the rom, reboot and see what happens. If it's not working, flash another custom kernel or download an older version of the rom...

If you have a backup from a working OS using CWM Recovery v5.0,2,7 (This is what I have on my 'rooted' X10i) you should restore it.
Otherwise use SEUS or PC Companion and re-install the Sony base OS.
Normally if you can't boot the system the only option is to re-install.
There is an exception to this guideline, where you could install/reinstall sdcard zips where it is known the zip would/could recover whatever previous updates that were made.
You can use a PC to load a zip on a working SDcard and then use CWM recovery(or xRecovery) to install the 'new' zip to restore the XPERIA X10i.
Just go to Your recovery and flash rom (don't forget to wipe Your data) . Else You can just flash whole new rom using flashtool.
Sent from note, a phone like never before
hi,
here's the steps I did :
1) I had on phone last official sony android firmware 4.0.4 version.
2) rooted the phone and unlocked the phone : ok
3) tried to load custom rom ultimate hd but no success, phone was blocked on the initial logo
4) downloaded official sony emma tool in order to load the original firmware:
the only option was android 2.3.6 and I was able to load it and phone worked again;
5) rooted again the phone,
6) now pc companion pops up with message of possible update to 4.0.4; try to do it but
message error got, update is not possible due to modified firmware.
here's my question : how I can got again android 4.x in general starting from android 2.3.6?
Never mind is not the official one, I 'm interested to any rom 4.x (working ok of course, maybe optimax)
that can be downloaded on the phone.
Is it possible to have all the steps in detail? I'm not so familiar with flashtool.
Thanks/andropagp

- make sure you have installed the android sdk (just press install packages) & install flashtool allways IN main drive (not in subfolder) also install the proper drivers from drivers folder of flashtool install.
how to get to official 4.0.4 ROM using flashtool (only way after bl unlock..) (dl & good explanation there)
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389
how to install custom ROM: 1st check if you need a custom kernel --> b)
a) no custom kernel need (& you still have stock kernel FROM SONY ICS UPDATE!)
- install CWM recovery by x-parts tool found in xperia arc apps thread
- place rom & other needed files (maybe gapps) on SD
- boot to CWM. select wipe data/ factory reset.
- install ROM as mentioned on thread.
- boot.
b) if you use a custom kernel CWM is mostly inside. so just press vol down contunesly on boot screen (on very 1st)
- place rom & other needed files (maybe gapps) on SD
- boot to CWM. select wipe data/ factory reset.
- install ROM as mentioned on thread.
- boot

Many thanks, I was able to load the official rom; it was easy.
Just a note : I was not able to download flashttol and rom from link provided for free.
I was anyway lucky, because I already doownloade din the past the rom and
old version of flashtool; i used them and everything was ok.
Next step will be to load a custom a ROM
thanks again/angropagp
