I had a custom ROM Experience V2, was running perfectly but just had one or two bugs.... so to clear them i thought i will install everything afresh. But I was unaware of the consequences. I have rooted phone with bootloader unlocked. Munjeini CWM ... installed... I accidently formatted everything from CWM. i.e cache, system, SD Card ... all . Any chances to bring back the phone. I can still boot in CWM, also tried to install the custom rom , it did , but not booting. PLZ HELP!!!

Did you try to install,using flashtool, the stock rom?
Try this way mate and after that you copy on your sdcard the rom you want to install. After that enter from cmw and install the rom. Should work this way.

I know mate, i own one! By telling microsd i mean internal storage.
U can mount USB storage in recovery, copy any custom rom to internal storage and flash it. If it doesn't work then flashtool:ftf

I can't understand one thing mate. He said that he already tried to install custom rom via cmw. How did he do that if previously formated the via cwm the internal storage? If he copied custom rom on internal storage via cwm should boot, isn't that right?
@pusghatole did yoy try to wipe cache, dalvik cache and do wipe data/factory reset before installing the custom rom again?
Same thing happens to me in past with xperia arc I accidently formatted everything in cwm, including format sd card while installing rom, after a long search I found solution on xda i.e FLASHTOOL
.So just flash the stock rom of your phone. It will come alive again.
Thnx

This is a common problem of ics rom. I suggest you to try the SXU Terra Rom v5 or v6.(credits to bonosharm) It's a very good rom with good battery life.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141726&highlight=terra+rom
Recently i installed also jb conversations for ics link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134241&highlight=proper+port (credits to erorcun)
and jb phonebook for ics link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143977 (credits to erorcun)
and my impression is that a little bit faster.
Check them you want.

can you boot to the xrecovery?
if not
go then to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 and try to fash one of the orginal rom
rooted then there you go
use this website as a reference for the downloading source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209749
--------------------------------------------------------------------
if yes
go to the xrec
1 download clean fresh soft from how ever you want
2 move to the memory card
- partition tool
-amount usb
----------------- in case any problem
3 boot to the xrec by pressing back button
4 go to advance option
5 wipe dalvik cache, battery, fix perm
6 go back to main menu
7 factory reset
8 reboot try whether work
-----------------------
if yes great
if not lets continue
extreme option do not turn off phone in steps below other way use Sony ericsson update service or flash tool use the instruction include in the flash toll website.
9 go to partition tools
10 format system, data, cache extremely carefull
11 install custom rom
12 factory reset now you can reboot
13 reboot system
This only my suggestion
discharge
i am not responsible for any damage of phone which can be done by the step above.
edit: if you install many application some of them may have file on the sd so copy your file - your akp, music photo, music, video on your hard drive and format sd card and tried boot up again
because even if you delete data using xrec there will be still some of the rubbish on your sd that may cause the problem on you X10
GOOD LUCK

Whats ur baseband?
Are you on any custom kernels?
Bootloops happens mostly when u mess up these two things.
My suggestion is to start it from scratch (means installing 2.1 and then rooting and flashing 2.3).
Good luck.
Actually that's a problem with that specific rom, flash back a stock rom via flash tool and do another custom rom.
Ok so yeah i can access xrecovery whitout any problem im on z 2.3.3 freex10 baseband 71 using the kernel that comes whit the rom i can restore roms but not flash a rom and make it work damn back to 2.1 --

Which ROM are you trying to flash really? ROMs aren't exactly "flashable" as in via flash tool, flashing a custom rom is actually wiping and installing the files via xrecovery, which xrecovery does both but doesn't say so directing, it just says copying, formatting etc, since no custom rom is made in ftf flash file format but in zip format instead.

Reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik

I think it's only the kernel as the file name said. The rom must be more than 100Mb big. (it's a long time ago when I flashed ftf...) maybe about 300 MB?

You need to root your ics rom and install cwm. Then you can restore the backup, but this would only help, if you took the backup when some apps and data are on phone. Otherwise this would be useless :silly:
Okk......thanks i restored sucessfully with previous apps n data .....thanks

Hello,
I'm kind of a newbie at rooting phones. I've upgraded my xperia u to ICS before rooting.
I've unlocked bootloader, rooted the phone successfully & i've also flashed CWM recovery v5.5xx.
I have done a factory reset recently when my mobile was eating up a lot of ram. Does it remove or corrupt CWM? cos i'm unable to access recovery while booting the phone, i'm only getting access into recovery is by flashtool & even then, when i press "install zip from sdcard", it says mounting error & is unable to access the sd card.
What have I done wrong? Am I missing any step towards flashing a kernel or a custom rom?
please help
(I only want to speed up mobile operations, especially camera.)

I found a bat file & installed cwm recovery & its working perfectly. Thank you.
Now, all i need is a custom rom or a speedy kernel to speed up my daily operations (at least other than camera)
Please suggest me a custom rom, I've searched few of them & liked miui but someone commented that whatsapp doesn't work in that custom rom, that app is quite imp for me, so please suggest a rom which is faster than the stock rom & every essential app works.
Thanks in advance
Cheers!

ok, so if i installed miui rom or any other rom & decided that i didn't like it. To come back to stock, do I just have to go to cwm & press restore/advanced restore or do i have to do the same procedure like download the stock rom, put it into sdcard & via cwm install it?
P.S. I've already made a nandroid backup, also from titanium backup & all my data is on my sdcard

If you want to revert back to stock and you have made backup of stock from cwm than just use backup and restore to the same....
If you feel the need to install a fresh copy of stock you can download latest firmware and install using flashtool....

samsung galaxy s3 i9300. Rooted with cyanogenmod Installer: http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install
A while ago I tried flashing a costum rom, however i wasnt fully satistied so went back to cyanogenmod. My SDcard space went from 11gb to 2gb left. I went to recovery (CWM Touch) and formatted system and sdcard (which was a huge mistake I believe). As far as I know, I have no rom installed right now after the format. Ive downloaded MIUI and put it on my external SD and tried flashing it from my external SD. After wiping dalvik, cache and factory reset flashing went well. When I press reboot device CWM says "root access is missing, root device?" Now there are 2 options: "no" and "yes root device (/system/xbin/su)". Both options result in my phone stuck at the boot animation.
I thought because I had no root, I had to flash a stock rom. So I downloaded a stock rom and tried flashing it. CWM said "installation aborted". So right now Im kind of clueless. Can anyone help me and tell me what to do? Ive been searchin this forum for quite a long time now. Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards

yap, there was a lot of data I couldnt access. I wanted to clear the whole SD and flash a new rom so I could basically start over again with a fresh new SD
Which stock rom you installed??
And are you able to flash that miui rom you talking about now??
If it asks fit root just click no.. That's a problem I guess with the recovery not detecting root but you still have it.. just not into your rom by clicking no... then if you don't have root you can flash a supersu file through recovery..

Yes, unless it is a repackaged stock rom you must use odin, not CWM to flash it. You could try using archie's rom or one of Wanam's in CWM. Or download a repacked stock that is flashable in CWM.
