i think you need to root your phone first,install cwm,then flash stock ICS ROM,after that then flash SlimCM rom.
what about kernel ?? do I need to install it in the end and what kernels work best with SlimCM ? won't I loose root when I flash stock ICS Rom ?

Use fast boot and flash sliding xu kernel. Actually I recommend transcendence kernel. Flash that, reboot into recovery, copy ROM zip to storage. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system and then flash slim cm zip

Hi Guys!
I had root my Xperia Mini Pro and instal CWM.
I'am on GB.
When i instal a ROM, Real ICS or Real ICS lite, i can see only sony ericsson logo.
I waiting during 15min, and nothing has change.
Now I unlock bootloader , but i always see only sony ericsson logo, when i start the phone after rom installing.
What can I do?
I never had there problems with my old x10.
PS: "From the downloads section, download kernel installation package and extract the folder."
Where is this section? Where can i download kernel instalation package? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27376017&postcount=2)
I'am sorry for my very bad english.
every rom has its specified kernel
For stock based ICS Roms you can flash
Rage Kernel(v3.2)
Krsh Kernel
Mesa kernel
for CM 9.0 flash the kernel included the zip file by FXP
there are some kernels for GB roms as well you can search them
So, if i want to instal RealICS rom, i must instal first the rom and next i instal specified kernel with fastboot, yes?
Beacuse RealICS dont work with stock kernel.
PS: If i flash Krsh kernel and next i instal a stock rom with flashtool, Krsh kernel is remplaced for stock kernel?
First kernel, then rom.
And, make sure u have unlocked bootloader to install custom kernel.
Or, u can use rom which based on official ics. Like expeacer rom.

Hmm, it is complicated ; o
I'm sure, my bootloader is unlocked. I check in system info.
I'am on Stock GB , rooted with CWM and unlocked bootloader.
And now i want to instal RealICS. I have to instal Krsh kernel for ICS, but i have GB. How i do? First i have to instal Rooted ICS ? And later i instal Krsh kernel for ICS and I instal RealICS rom?
Or can i instal RealICS with rooted GB?
I'am lost ; |
D'oh. They already gave the answer yet u still ask the same question again.
U need to read, lots and lots of reading.
- turn off the phone
- boot to fastboot and flash ICS kernel
- when booting up ..enter cwm
- flash rom
- reboot
an0nym0us_ , that's right i have to read a lot. Beacuse i not understend a lot of words.
And i want to be sure for the instalation, beacuse i try a lot of times, and i had always sony logo.
Thanks for all the anwers ; )
Now i go to instal the rom.
I follow caer_ayu's tuto.
do a full wipe
and
format system (optional)
before flashing new roms
good luck m8
My guess is u didn't do wipe data in recovery before flashing the rom, hence the stuck at boot.
Good luck.
First things look complicated. Once you understood the basics all is much easier.
Most custom roms need custom kernels. Custom kernels can only flashed with unlocked bootloader.

I did all wipes and formats. But with the stock kernel , RealICS dosen't work.
But now, i had follow caer_ayu's mini tuto and that's work!
Thanks for you all, for all anwers! THANKS!
I was confused with kernel instalation, now all is ok.
Thanks one again!
And sorry for my bad english.

you mean first i have to flash with official stock rom or what??Plz tell me..
You need the ICS stock rom first to get the kernel.
Look for the global ICS file in the forums. It's on a torrent.

Yes u should read that rom is based on 6.1 not 6.0 (gb)
So if u want that rom just flash 6.1.b.1.10 and then flash the pure blood rom as per instructions
After installing pureblood ROM via CWM,switch off the phone and then flash .54 Kernel through flashtool by putting in fastboot mode.No need for installing stock ics.I can provide you the kernel file,if you need.
waht is best between Ultimate sola and pure blood?
ultimate saola is v1, it's mean that pure blood v2 is most recent?

They are different ROMs. One is stock lite (All bloat removed). The other is stock enhanced.
Check the thread to see which is which.

Hey guys long ago I rooted my xperia mini pro and put CM 9 or 10 then I went back on Stock then again i put some radom kernel and and rom, then i wanted to put a rom here from te forum but when I put the kernel and try to go to recovery it wouldn't start the recovery the screen is just black
So i went back to stock !
now my question is how do I root again X_X
and how do I put CMW reocvery, because I want to put this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220537
maybe you can find here what you search
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842366
and 4.1.2 is not ICS its JB
Since u tried cm, I am sure ur bootloader is unlocked.
So the easy way to root now would be to flash any custom kernel. It will be prerooted.
If you still want ti retain the rooted stock rom
Flash kernel and flash stock excluding kernel
Or flash stock and then flash kernel

Yes most (I believe all) custom kernels will have cwm ( or twrp,) so yes.
Try goin to dev section and find the list of kernels in stickies and find a jb kernel.

Since you are on unlocked bootloader i suggest you install jb. It has been ported for sola too but don't know if and which bugs could exist.
If you want to restore the stock rom, search the ftf file from sola development section and dowload it. Flash it via flashtool and you are done.

jb is jellybean. Latest android os. Check here a modified version of jb --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288630
.img is not the custom rom but the kernel mate.
As about stock: download the ftf and open it with winrar. Extract kernel.sin and flash it via fastboot mode. After that flash via flashmode the ftf..
Stock
Jb(jelly bean) is a new branch of software newer than Ics(ice cream sandwich), in my opinion i recomend ultimate rom V4z but you have to read the instructions and last posts carefully.
In case you still dont want to install a new rom, heres the stock,

To flash custom Kernels , first you have to Unlock your bootloader....
If you don't know how to do , follow the steps in the below link ..
