Hello guys,
This is my first thread and I'm not sure if this is the right place to write about my problem, but didn't find a forum that fits better. I'm stuck at bootloop after installing CM10.1 coconut on my SE LWW WT19i. I have bootloader locked and I can't unlock it. My phone is rooted with Zerg rush and have installed CWM Recovery 5. However I didn't manage to boot into recovery mode with all the button combinations. I downloaded the X-parts application and booted from there. The first time i got status error 7 and used the updater script rework method to get rid of it. Now my CM10.1 is installed, but my phone is stuck on bootloop and I have no idea what to do to unblock it.
Waiting for fast responses, because I really need help badly..

You'll need to get back into recovery and flash a working rom. Also if you can get a logcat for devs from your device forums to look at so they can help you.
Info and how to on logcats here, I've included how to grab one during bootloop.

The problem is that I don't know the key combination to go into recovery mode on my phone.Also.. will the
warranty affect my phone, since i have rooted it?
Just ask in mini and lww thread and don't worry.its easy as pie to fix
Also you can use Sony pc companion or update service to reset your phone to factory rom

Buddy as Stated above it is generous to use Sony pc companion to get back to stock rom and then root again and flash CM.

Hello
I've installed the [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 following this steps
i've previously installed a CWM
restart in recovery
wiped data/reset factory
wiped battery
wiped all ...
install Rom
install gapp
and now my phone doesn't goes to recovery and all i get is a black screen whit "Sony Ericsson" legend
please some help.
i post here, because i haven't permissions to post in the developer forum asking for help in the thread
sorry about my bad english
Did you unlock your bootloader using Flashtool?
You also need the latest version of nAa kernel installed.
Thanks for the answer
I didn't unlock my bootloader using Flashtool i haven't do that before and didn't read the installing instructions for doing that my fault
and didn't installed nAa kernel, because i think didn't need to install the kernel obligatorily
is anything i can do to solve this problem ??
You do need the nAa kernel to run MiniCM7, it just won't work without it. Next time you think about installing a rom, make sure you read all the instructions first. Especially if you're using custom kernels as that's a good way to give your phone a real hard brick.
What you've got is a soft brick. The phone still works, it just doesn't work as a phone. A hard brick is when your phone doesn't do anything at all. Which is bad.
All you need to do is download and use Sony Ericsson Update Service. This updates your phone to the latest, official firmware. If it complains that you already have it, choose the option to reinstall it anyway.
This will wipe all the data on your phone, but not your sdcard, so you'll lose your contacts, sms's, etc but you backed up anyway, didn't you?
thanks Ticklefish for the answer
i did that and now i've my phone back =D
Mine wont do that :-/
When i follow your steps Ticklefish i cant connect to the phone. it pops up with a message that tells me to pull down the status line which i cant because i only gets to the Sony Ericsson boot logo.
Got any tips for me?
thanks in advance

I think i was using the same as in this thread, that might e why it failed, but i'll just start rooting my phone now, and then wait and see
i'll just search around x10 forum to check out some tutorials, but thanks anyway
So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

Hi!
Its my first topic on this forum so i wanted to say welcome to everybody in first place. I would like to mention that my X10i is my first android phone so im completely new with that things.
Stock soft from sony doesnt fitted me i decided to change it. First i managed to root, install xrecovery and all that stuff with a huge help of guides on this forum. Tested some custom roms and finally i saw a jellybean. I thought: I want it! So i tried to follow instruction mentioned in topic (jellybean kickass edition). Occurred problem while flashing cm10, read to try flashing cm9 first - same. Recovered to stock 2.3.3 with xrecovery and tried to flash again. And here I am. I cant get into xrecovery now, just stuck on se logo and even my pc dont recognize x10 when it in flash mode.
Is there any way to fix that? Plis help because phone is out of guaranty.
Edit: Fortunately i manage to restore soft with PCC so topic is for close/del.

Yeap, PCC helped but when my phone had not been recognise by PC when it was in Flash Mode i paniced and wrote on forum. Then i rebooted my PC and there was no trouble with recovery.
Taking the opportunity i would like to ask some more q.
1. I want to install CM10 on my x10 but i encountered some trouble. Do i need unlocked boot loader to to this? I've tried FT bootunlocer but i dont know is it was successfully or not. How to check it? Currently im running on cm7 and stock kernel rooted of course.
Thanks

Hi,
I have successfully rooted my Xperia U phone (with ICS 4.0.1), and also installed the CWM.
I have downloaded the experience 2.1.zip rom file and placed the same in internal memory also.
Now when I restart my phone to be able to boot in recovery mode, I am not able to do so.
As soon as press power button, multi-coloured illumination doesn't take place in LED bar. As soons as Sony logo appears, I start pressing the 'Volume Down' button repeatedly, but nothing happens. It simply goes to Xperia logo animation screen and boots the phone with older ROM only.
Am I missing something. Please help. I want to install custom ROM to upgrade to JB, but I am not able to do so as I am not able to boot my phone in Recovery mode, which is required to flash the current ROM and installing new ROM on top of it (as per m knowledge).
Please Help. Urgent.
If video can be uploaded for the solution, i would highly appreciate the work and effort becoz I got frustrated now after following so many procedures given on internet to root / install CWM / boot in recovery. I am done with first two things: Rooting and Installing CWM. I struggling hard to reboot my phone in CWM mode
Thanks in advance.

those that have locked bootloader after the flash of a rom lose the recovery,you have to reinstall
Inviato dal mio MT27i con Tapatalk 2
You better go unlock your bootloader. Trust me, it's better because custom kernels have CWM. But if you want to install CWM your LB phone, it can be done too, by using RecoverX on Windows. Just post your questions here again if you have more problems

I successfully installed a new custom rom 'eXperience v2.1' with XPERIA Z look and feel. But I dint get the following points after doing this :
1. My phone info still says that it has ICS 4.0.4 version. (JB was expected)
2. All settings are related to ICS stock only
Only look and feel is changed as like in xperia Z.
Can you help me in this, why it din't update to JB?

Munjenis's CWM work for me as well.
Planning on getting rid of the xperia software and flashing Cyanogenmod, However I cannot for the life of me seem to get fastboot! I get a driver popup about S1Fastboot? but it wont take any of the drivers I've downlaoded from the various sources on here for it.
The fact this phone gives no indication its in fastboot mode is more annoying.
What am I doing wrong?!

Wasn't using any tools like that, Good old fashioned ADB. Got some drivers working eventually.
Not sure if you can help with this problem however, Trying to flash ANY rom, I get status 7 error (It appears CWM is bad)

Status 7 just means there was an error flashing.
Depends which rom (ANY does not tell me much) it might be you just flashing ROMs that require their own kernel/CWM to be flashed.
Now if you give some details, which ROMs are those "ANY" and what CWM(or kernel) you are using I might be able to help.
Updated CWM to a later version than whats in the Q&A thread, However once I tried to flash a ROM, Im now stuck at the sony logo/splash screen, Cannot get into recovery to sort this out at all.
