preparation to install JB ROM - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hello to everyone
i am new to this forum, and i have some questions about JB ROM for xperia Mini Pro SK17i
my xperia mini pro is rooted, and i also have CWM on it, only thing that i have not done is unlock bootloader, and unlocking is allowed
i want to install this JB ROM on my xperia - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032900
now my question is, what i need to do, or to be precise, what to wipe in CWM to install this, and do i need to unlock bootloader first to be able to install JB ROM ??
do i need to wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, or only data ???
i wanted to post in thread for the ROM, but since i am new here, i am not allowed to do so
so if someone is willing to help me, and give me advice what to do i will be gratefuller
i now how to flash kernels and that stuff, but this is my first tryout with custom ROM, and i don't want to mess up my phone

Very easy, but first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock the bootloader, here. Link for the tool here.
Then:
Flash boot.img (in the zip)
Install Zip (Rom)
Install Gapps
Wipe data (do this first and only once and never do it again)
You can also read my FAQ for JB 4.2.2 here, for clarify some doubts you may have
P.S: Ignores the post by radwan020, he is a little confused.

First u need to install all the drivers in flashtool/dricers
Then start flashtool, select lightning button, choose fastboot mode, and choose your boot.img file
Connect your fone in fastboot mode (vol up and connect)
It should begin flashing.
If u don't want to go through all that trouble, you can see the kernel flasher in my sig

thanks for response
but i have installed already flashtool, i needed it to downgrade kernel so i can root the phone, so i have drivers
now i only need to unlock bootloader, but it seems that i have some problems, i will try on my gf's lap with win 7, because on my win 8 lap i can't unlock bootloader with SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking 1.6, and i have flashtool with drivers installed and also SDK manager installed
i can't get the unlock code with the program, but i got it from SE site
after manually entering IMEI and unlock code an clicking unlock bootloader nothing happens and program freezes
i need to try option over SDK and CMD, if that is not working then i will post screenshots for problems i have

Well u could try unlocking it mannually.
U know, the hard way. Then u can flash kernels

is there any way to install drivers properly on win 8 ??
because i am using them, and drivers always fail to install with flashtool 0.9.10.1, few of them only installs, others no
i tried on my gf laptop with win 7, and there drivers install with no problem, but then i have problem with unlocking bootloader with flashtool
in flashtool it says that my bootloader is unlocked, but my configuration says unlocking available, not unlocked
i did not manage to try this method on her laptop because i did not have enough time - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31376248#post31376248 - but on my laptop, since drivers are not installed properly i am unable to unlock it, when i enter command in CMD to check version of fastboot i am getting waiting for device, and nothing happens
also automated unlocker, SE bootloader unlocker 1.6, also does not work, program freezes when i click unlock bootloader
here are pictures of flashtool and my configuration

Have you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher to run stable , as the OP saying? I use that tool on my w7 64bit without any problem. Have you installed the Flashtool-drivers that is inside the SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking tool?

Nope you can easily get it working. Just serach for disabling driver signature enforcement in win 8. Do it and then install drivers.
Also if you are on the go but get access to a pc, you can try kernel flashing tools (see sig) to flash kernels without installing any drivers

Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

my phone was already rooted, do i need to root it again?
II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

How to flash and which ROM? Xperia S.

I have an Xperia S and I want to flash a custom ROM.
What steps do I need to take?
Do I need to unlock bootloader, flash recovery and then flash custom ROM?
Which is currently the fastest/most stable Rom to use for Xperia S?
Cheers

U need to check if your Bootloader is Unlocked in case if you want to root your device. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Go over at service and check if the bootloader is unlocked or allowed.
There are mainly two different ways to install a custom rom. Through flashtool or through CWM. Go over at Xperia Development Section. You will find your answers, n00b tutorials and official/custom roms/firmwares.

Install the drivers first, then connect the phone. You don't need to have a device connected to install drivers.

Install the latest drivers for adb fastboot, u can find them on the 'Need to know first' thread. Then u can simply got to fastboot mode after flash installation and root your device/flash custom-stock kernels. :highfive:

I did that to but when I go to fastboot the LED will stay blue for like 10 seconds but then the phone will just re-boot... It wont stay on fastboot.
Fixed it... It was because USB debugging wasn't enabled. Would have been nice if that was mentioned in the bootloader unlocking thread lol.

[Q] Have I bricked my C6806?

Hi everyone,
I just bought a brand new Z Ultra C6806. I plugged it into my computer, installed the My Companion software, and then proceeded to root the device via the Chinese root, which seemed to work just fine. I then tried to unlock the bootloader with Flash Tool, but couldn't get Flash Tool to recognize my device. It kept on saying that I needed to install drivers. I'm doing this on a windows computer, and I already navigated to the drivers folder and installed the z ultra drivers.
I then got fed up with that and saw the thread that let you flash a recovery with a locked bootloader. So I followed those instructions and had a working CWM and TWRP. Except then I wiped data and system and flashed the CarbonRom custom rom, and now my phone won't boot at all.
I'm hopeful that everything is not lost since when I hold volume up and plug my phone into my computer I see a blue LED, which I have gathered means that it is successfully still entering fastboot mode?
How do I get Flash Tool to recognize my device? And is it possible to unlock the C6806 bootloader or have I been deeply mistaken all along?
Thanks for any help

so what you've done is to try and flash a ROM with a locked bootloader. You've found out that it wont....
You just need to use 'flashtool' and flash a FTF file.
But like you said before you'll need to ensure drivers are installed properly. flashtool will need to say:
'device connected in fastboot mode' or
'device detected in flash mode'
Download the latest version of flashtool. Then when you select the type of device, you can select Xperia Z Ultra.
and make sure that ADB is installed (windows will detect new device has been plugged in, and if it wont install drivers, you will need to tell it where to find them)

Reinstalled flashtool drivers for z ultra and flashmode and fastboot, pointed my windows drivers interface to the driver file I downloaded from the sony unlock bootloader website and still didn't get anything on my laptop.
Did the exact same things on my desktop and everything is working fine now, flashtool recognized my device, flashed a Sony FTF, unlocked bootloader successfully, playing with CM now.
Still not sure why this is the case, but alls well that ends well I suppose, thanks.
install flashtools driver you can find it in Flashtools folder. PC need driver when xzu in fastboot mode.If you use USB 3.0 like me try different usb slot.

Hi Guys,
My first Sony Phone (previous Samsung User). I have the US Version C6806 LTE model. I have a similar question. I have unlocked my bootloader successfully via Sony's website. I want to be able to install TWRP and backup original ROM before applying custom ROMs. Doesn't look like there is a root available for this phone model yet? I am on firmware 14.1.B.2.257. My questions are:
1 - Is there a TWRP image I can flash on my model via fastboot without having root? Then boot into TWRP and backup the ROM?
2 - If not can I flash any of the images that I seen on XDA via fastboot that include the Root and TWRP in them? Or will those not work with .257 firmware?
3- If none of the options above work can I download an FTF image (older version) that I can root and use TWRP and if so which image do you recommend that would work with my phone model and LTE network on AT&T?
Thanks for all your help and sorry for all the questions I am a noob with Sony Phones. I did research here and seems most of the threads and images are NOT for C6806 which I have.
I think all tyour questions are answered in various threads in the X-ZU forum...
You have gone about it all ass about face, you should have downgraded to .532 then rooted with kingo (looks like is is safe?). Once rooted you should of then backed up your TA partition in case you ever need the phone serviced.
I dont know if TWRP is working well in any of the boot.img but CMR works fine (except for the date of the backups)
any of the firmware/ftf/ROMs will work with any of the Ultras as far as I know

I flashed a .532 firmware still no safe root method from what I can tell. Looks like I need to flash an earlier version or a FTF hopefully that contains root and custom recovery. I will keep reading and researching. Thanks for the help.
do you want to end up on a rooted stock firmware?
as you have already unlocked the boot loader you can just flash one of the kernel/boot img with recovery and then flash whatever rom you want from there...
I also run into Cyanogen Recovery and have trouble going back to FlashTool with my chromebook. I am a bit panicky, but your post is comforting and ensuring.
I got the C6806 xperia z ultra in year 2014. I have been using it as a home primary PC.

You wiped everything and now there is no rom installed so its not going past the sony logo. You have two options.
1. Unlock bootloader if you want to run a custom rom.
2. Flash stock rom to go back to stock.
and how to flash stock rom , you need to have the flashtool , put your phone in donwloadmode ( volumne down + plug in the usb cable ) and then flash the stock rom of sony ( you can find the method on how to do it on google ) its simple and then you decide out of 2 options above from last post
Since your bootloader isn't unlocked your can use Sony Companion Software to repair your phone. When you click update there is a repair option. Select repair and hook up the phone in flashmode. Make sure your ZU is atleast 50% charged.
thanks for replying everyone i tried the flashtool stock rom installation and i got boot loop now i tried two different ftf files but they both result in boot loop what am i doing wrong?

can you flash the stock rom again and copy paste the log here in a code quote like this one:
Code:
write here
And what is your model? C6833 etc..
What stock rom did you download?
Which drivers did you use?
And which version of flashtool did you use?
And lastly what settings did you use when flashing the stock rom? All options included so ALL partitions being flashed. And none excluded.
Screenshots is always good help .
