HELP! Sola in bootloop - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi everybody, I've just rooted, installed CWM and flash experience v2.1 and everything worked.
Than I flashed AC!D, wiped, then flashed Cybeshot 4, wiped, then flashed cybershot 5. After that I rebooted and from that moment it is in bootloop. I've already, wiped and reflashed the ROM, but it continues to reboot and a couple of times also the AROMA installer got stuck.
I really need help. What can I do to fix it? I mean, there's no reason why it shouldn't work after the flash, right?

Wipe everything (data system etc etc) then flash some ics kernel.. Then flash official ics .54ftf... This should work:thumbup:

I've got a .10.ftf and a .54.ftf kernels. I've created a zip for each other, then selected install zip form sd card in CWM, but it says installation aborted. Why? What's wrong now?

I cannot flash via flashtool because I can only work in CWM and flashtool doesn't recognize the phone in that modality.

You mean to say flashtool doesn't recognise you're mobile?? In that case.. You are missing some flashtool drivers.. You'll find them in /flashtool/drivers/ whichever folder you've installed flashtool in... After this flashtool should recognise you're device... If it doesn't then try flashing any ics kernel through cwm.. You'll find them in dev thread.. N then flash ics Rom

Remember that I can access only the CWM screen, flashtool can recognize the mobile even in CWM mode?
However, I've already tried to flash the kernel via CWM, but it says installation aborted. I've zipped .10 and .54 kernel in two different zip and renamed them kernel.10.zip and kernel.54.zip.
What's wrong?
EDIT: ok, I've been able to use flashtool. I've flashed .10 kernel, then flashed .54 kernel, then reinstalled experience ROM, wiped and restarted. It continuos to bootloop. Now I try to flash a stock ICS ROM.

Omg in order to use flash tool, just shut down ur phone, and then press the power button and the volume down button. If the led becomes green then u can succesfully use flash tool... Man, do some research first!
And also, get the ftf file by extracting the zip....

Ok, now I've wiped and flashed only MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf file through flashtool. Restarted the phone and it continuos to bootloop. When the phone says preparing internal storage it restart the phone.

sorry for my noobage. Now I've flashed MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_Global.ftf (big file) and flashtool had a problem. It says "err severity=major err code="0009"" err dynamic: block verification failed".
Now the phone continuosly shows screen with "sony".
Now what can I do? Can't even enter in CWM mode.

Ok, I've solved the problem. The last firmware I flashed was for unlocked xperia sola, this is why I had problems. Now I've resolved the softbrick thanks to a guide of doctor_droid.
Now I have to reroot and reinstall CWM, right?
Also thanks to you guys for your patience.

Yes... N after you install cwm.. Please make a back up through cwm for god sake!! happy rooting!! :thumbup:

Another question: the first time that the bootloop started was when I flashed cybershot and ac!d without restarting.
Do you think that the bootloop started because I haven't resarted between the two flashes?

Nothing as such.. May be conflicts between cybershot n acid files!! It's better you restart everytime you flash.. N do wipe cache partition n dalvik

Oh gosh, another funny problem. Got a problem with rooting.
I've flashed .10.tft kernel, then run "runme.bat" (from rootwithrestore) and this time says that there's "old adb" or something like that. However, I manage to conclude the process, but when I reboot I've got black screen. After that I've flashed the .54.tft file and the phone works fine, but there's no SuperSU app. So I suppose it's not rooted.
What's wrong with the runme.bat?

Yep not rooted!! Try again!!

did i brick my lww?

im using flashing .58 via flash tool and it said - android version/kernel version:-exec'/system/bin/sh'failed: No file or directory(2)-
First you power off your phone then hold the volume down button then connect to flashtool to flash firmwares
And you need adb drivers installed, find them in the flashtool folder or just download my app (romhub.codeplex.com)

I don't get it. Why exactly can't you flash with flashtool? No PC?
If you can get into flashmode, then flashtool should work just fine.
In most cases, getting stuck on the SE logo means you've got a kernel-ROM mismatch. Flashing the correct kernel should allow the ROM to boot. Mind telling which kernel & ROM you're on?

Did you install it with the given instruction on the post to the letter, and did you install Facebook in aroma installer when doing it? i know that causes the bootloop, anyway reroot your current ics firmware, then try again.

I didn't flash any kernel because it wasn't asked in the installation instructions. I thought it was included in the zip file.
i tried ir again and i got another bootload
You must see instructions, if there is a kernel/boot.img to flash, you have to flash it. But that only works if your bootloader is unlocked. Maybe try another rom than realics
It happened the same to me ... The problem Is with kernel.. You should flash recommended kernel for the given Rom ... Bootloop will be the thing of past ...
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Real ICS does supports locked bootloader, just make sure that in aroma installer u selec the the lock bl option and the right phone model and it should work. u can also try unlocking your bl and flash to custom kernel
You have to flash correct kernel attach to the ROM

[Q] Needed help in installing stock rom

Hi Everyone,
I am using Xperia Neo. My friend helped me in installing custom ics rom from unlocking bootloader step to installing a custom rom.
Now i tried to install a custom rom, but it didnt work even though i followed the right steps.
Now when i tried to switch to the old rom it gives a status 7 error (similar one to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805631&highlight=status+7)
From the above thread i got the following steps
Simply flash an official ROM (.ftf) with Flashtool in Flashmode mode;
Flash a correct Kernel (extract it from Cyanogen rom zip, boot.img usually) with Flashtool in Fastboot mode;
Enter recovery CMW;
Perform a full wipe factory reset, and cache wipe nextly;
Finish with applying custom ROM by CWM;
Can someone help me with the first step
Simply flash an official ROM (.ftf) with Flashtool in Flashmode mode;
Is there a thread which has these steps?
Currently I am on a custom kernel and not on the base kernel will that create any problem in doing the first step?
Please help me on this. I am just a beginner.
Thanks in Advance.

Flashing a .ftf in this case implies that you have to flash just the baseband version. u must have flashed the complete firmware. while flashing new baseband you must exclude the kernel. the .ftf file has to be placed in the C:\Flashtool\firmwares directory. also u have not wiped the Dalvik cache.....

This will flash your phone to Stock rom.

Maybe u should check first your phone led if there's red light blinking means you are out of battery. Try to charge ur batt. for several hours or just borrow an full charged batt. from ur friend and flash it using flash tool or SUS.

Flash whole stock firmware with flashtool so you are able to boot phone.
Then when you will know the right steps, put rom .zip into sd, flash the right kernel and finally install rom via cwm following dev's instructions.
To flash a custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader.

I happened to soft-brick my Neo V few days back after installing a custom ROM. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Please read carefully :
U have to have a rooted and bootloader unlocked in phone to flash ROMs (OBVIOUS )
1)Copy the contents to your SDCARD of phone (ROM ZIP File + gapps ZIP)
2) Extract only the boot.img from the ROM zip to some location in your PC
3) Use Flashtool to flash the boot.img (FIRST THING TO DO)
3.a) Select Fastboot mode from flashtool
3.b) While the phone is connected, Click Fastboot phone using ADB.(Phone will restart and blue led will glow showing its in fast boot mode)
3.c) Now select the option, select kernel to flash in the window and chose the boot.img that is in the PC.
Now the flashtool automatically flashes the boot.img(which has the kernel included).
Unplug from PC and try to reboot.. On booting enter CWM mode and flash the ZIP already placed in the SDCARD(Ensure to follow the appropriate post to follow steps like clearing cache\Dalvik and system etc..).
HAPPY FLASHING

yes you can. get a kernel compatible to the rom you flashed.
flashing stock rom thru flashtool might be a better idea tho. then start again from scratch, make sure you got it right this time.

Okay, i just stated up flashtool and started flashing the .54 firmware, Checked no unkown sources. Started flashing. Flashtool finished and said i need to reboot my phone, what i did: Disconnected USB cable, waited 1 minute and booted up phone... Now i just got the "old" bootanimation... and still bootloop (from the rom in the first post) so its looks for me that flashtool "didnt flashed" my phone i also tryed sony update service but thatone said it cant flash .54 because i got constom firmware....
I got it! if flashed ONLY THE KERNAL from .54..... Who has a good .tft of the whole stock rom? And how can i charge my phone when it is in bootloop? i think my phone is almost empty now...

Try to rurn it off firt, power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations, see if it charges then.
If you have used PC Companion before, start repair, and wait till file download is complete and PCC ask you to connect in flash mode, close PCC and built the FTF with flashtool.
