I don't know if I'm in the right place or not, but please help me
I'm at stock rom (latest Italian ics)
and I want to flash custom rom and kernal with CWM, offcorse with root and unlock bootloader
all at once
I guess I can make it easy like the kernel with CWM and root with rom,,, something like that :-/
please if it possible give me only steps and links with each step
and with links to overclocked kernel and good custom ics rom

First of all, you should read a little more. Make sure to not break the device.
It's very important read carefully the ROM installation's instructions before doing nothing.
You can begin whith this flastool guide, but read first!!

that guys say want ftf file...
where should i download it？？？
you got the link???
I need more info, the .ftf that you want... you mean the kernel file right???
I understand that you want is: Flash a custom kernel, and then install a custom rom, right??
I guess that you have the rom downloaded, you need the kernel, there is nAa's kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739
Steps:
1-Unlock Bootloader
2-Flash custom kernel&CMWRecovery with flashtool. Before you do this, paste kernel file in Flashtool 0.5.XX/Firmwares. Run Flashtool, and press Flash mode, and follow the screen instruccions.
3-Enter CMWRecovery and install custom rom. Don't forget to do the rom's necesary wipes.
Sorry for my english.

Hey guys,I own optimus one and I m used to rooting and stuff but my brother owns xperia mini pro so I need to install cyanogenmod (9 or10) whichever is stable.I had gone through various guides and stickies yet I want to be dead sure that I don't mess up my brothers handset. Its kinda new coz bootloader needs to be unlocked and also kernel image needed to be flashed separately unlike in optimus one.
Now I want help of you guys in the following manner like:-
1. My brothers mini pro is on ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and the rooting tutorial provided here for the said firmware
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 is not clear to me coz it says that first I need to install some kernel [only mini mentioned here] then next I need to flash another kernel according to firmware. Can someone explain what is being done in this and why rooting is so complicated in this.
2. Certain ROM's say that you need to flash kernel first using flashtool
My query is that all ROM's that I flashed till now on optimus one included kernel and I only needed to flash ROM zip through cwm.. So do I need to flash kernel everytime I flash ROM!! and isn't there flashable zip for kernel too!!
3. FXP ROM's do not contain things like what's working and what's not, it only has issue tracker so it become difficult for new comer to know the bugs in ROM. Can anyone tell me the least bugs cm9 & cm10 ROM and what are the bugs present.
4. Lastly, should I proceed like this!!
i. Root device (though method isn't clear to me)
ii. unlock bootloader
iii. install cwm (I guess I can do this using flashtool)
iv. backup current ROM along with kernel (for future use,I know its optional)
v. flash kernel using flashtool
vi. flash ROM through cwm.
I m a quick learner and I just need some guidance on this new device (double checking coz its my bro's device) . Looking forward for support. Thanks

You needn't root first if you want to unlock bl, just unlock bl and flash a custom kernel (in most custom kernels cwm is included).
Backup your rom and install the rom...
hmmm....
1. Unlock Bootloader........
2. Flash Custom Kernel (all custom kernel is per-rooted and have CWM).......
3. Boot into CWM and Flash CM9 or CM10 (factory format/wipe dalvik/cache).....
4. Boot into Fastboot And Flash FXP kernel for CM9 or CM10.....
xperia phones aren't like sammy, lg or htc where recovery is a separate partition from kernel. in fact, by default xperia phones doesn't even have "stock recovery" like on other phone. by that we integrate cwm in kernel ramdisk.
and to answer the question:
1- flash custom kernel mean't for your phone only, never ever flash kernel intended for other phone. and its done via fastboot and should be flashed before flashing rom.
2- like i said u can't compare xperia phone with other phone like sammy etc, its different. kernel must be flash via fastboot.
3- for cm10, bugs that i notice is slow accelerator, but fixable with some text editing, and non working front camera for lww and minipro.
4- should be like this, according to order:
- unlock bootloader.
- flash kernel via fastboot.
- boot into cwm.
- backup rom if u want.
- wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. don't wipe system partition or u will get error when flashing rom later.
- flash rom, and gapps if its cm/aokp/pa rom.
- profit :good:
thank you guys.... this made me clear...
one last thing :- which kernel should I flash on stock 4.1.B.0.587 which is pre rooted and have cwm after unlocking bootloader.I mean the one compatible with above firmware and also do I need to do anything with baseband or will it be compatible. After this m ready to enter the custom xperia world
Remember to backup your stock rom before unlocking the bootloader as everything will be wiped clear.

No, i just meant that backup up your contacts, messages, apps (can be done through astro file manager) etc, before unlocking your bootloader because unlocking will wipe your data.

Hi guys, i've unlocked my bootloader and i've rooted. I flashed eXperience v.1.1 by Divaksh (stock based) and i want to return to stock ics 'cause i want to try cm9.1. Now the questions:
1- Will i have locked bootloader again?
2- Will i lost my root permission?
and the last: can i flash stock ics via CWM?
thank you :good:
Nope. Bootloader is independent of roms & kernels so you wont lose Bootloader unlock
But you'll always lose root if you flash Stock. And if you want to flash with cwm, see if anyone has uploaded a CWM flashable zip for the firmware. Else you need to use Flashtool
Hope it helps
Cheers

So this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030261 would work just wiping and flashing with CWM?
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
Yes I believe that ought to work fine
Enjoy
Cheers
Thanks man but the stock ics flashed by CWM and pc companion said me i had to update the system even if it was already .54 version and any attempt to update failed because of my unlocked bootloader. The same firmware flashed by flashtool didn't need any update and finally allowed my to boot "pure blood" ROM. Thanks anyway :cyclops:
I would like to run custom ROMs( CM) based in my device. To start with, I aj a total noob and my device currently runs stock ICS provided by sony itself. It's not rooted. I wanted to know the steps regarding how-to do the procedures like :
~> unlock bootloader ( is it needed or not)
~>root (needed or not)
~> flash custom ROM( which one is good and runs fast,least buggy)
~> which CM?
~> which recovery, which kernel, how-to's
Etc.
I don't know if all info is available on the forum in one thread or not, so I created a new thread.
Thanks in advance.
AW: Help regarding Sola Custom ROMs
You have to try every ROM on your own! Everybody has an other way to use it's Smartphone, so nobody can say which ROM is perfect for you and Root and CWM is needed for every Custom ROM Cause you need CWM to install the ROM and to install CWM you need Root And if the ROM is compatible with a locked or unlocked BL is said in every OP of a Custom ROM
Open your eyes and use the search function! You can find nearly EVERYTHING here on xda
But still a guide would be helpful...if possible...

If you don't wanna unlock your bootloader(which will void your warranty) but you wanna install cwm, you can always root your phone and install the cwm recovery... Now, every custom roms is very good!!! You must be thankful to all the devs here and try some roms on yourself... We can't tell that which Rom is good for you so you must try it on your own... CyanogenMod 9 is good and very smooth but requires you to unlock your bootloader... You also must unlock your bootloader to flash awesome kernels that provides overclock and many more...
You can find cwm recovery for locked bootloader at here!! Be sure to follow the steps properly!!
And to root stock .54, you must first flash the .10 kernel using flashtool, root it using binary method, then flash back the .54 kernel..

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
