It's not recommended to wipe system! Only wipe system if the developer tells that in the specific rom thread

No problem, just remember to check out the thread of the rom and read the instructions to see if that's necessary or not, before you start installing. Otherwise you could get a status 7 error in cwm or some files could be missing

Downloading the stock rom , will flash later and see the results
huh,u formated /system
the only way is Flash stock .ftf firmware via flashtool.
if u wanna clean the /system (wanna flash different base ROM), format that but DONT reboot ur phone.
For next time, wipe only DATA, CACHE, N DALVIK CACHE.

Yes format system, but don't reboot. Just format system and after that choose zip from sd card and install it. That's it. Don't reboot after formatting system!

Why into booting part? You just format system and press back key and after that "choose zip from sd card" -> install zip from sd card...

Oh your bootloader is unlocked?
So first flash ics 4.0.4 rom ftf via flashtool and before your reboot just plug off device and plug in while holding volume up and flash rage kernel for 4.0.4. Now reboot.
Just in case, enable unknown sources and usb debuggin and connection mode msc.
Afterwards do that:
Download the base rom zip and the patch zip for your device.
1. Put the downloaded files on your sd card
2. Boot in cwm
3. click data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
5. go to mounts/storage > format system

[Q][U]Problem installing TheBrainRom_08

Hey guys! i have a problem every single time i try to install this rom.
1. I flash via flashtool the 6.1.1.B.1.54 ftf
2. I root my phone and install a CWM (LockedBootloader)
3. I copy the TheBrainsRom_v08 in internal storage (after copying META.inf and boot.img from TheBrainsRom_ICS03_lockedBL)
4. I boot into recovery
5. Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> TheBrainsRom_ICS08_slim.zip -> Yes Install.
6. After installation i select Wipe cache partition -> Yes wipe cache.
7. I select advanced and i do wipe dalvik cache.
8. After doing that i select go back and at the main menu of the recovery i selectg reboot system now. I see a message saying ROM may flash stock revovery on. THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
What i am i suppose to do now? When i click yes i just see the Sony logo for more than 1 hour. What i am i doing wrong?
Thank you and sorry my bad english.
Hi, im using v8 with 6.1.1.B.10 baseband. As far as i know v9 is for .54
You dobt need to use the locked method of v3
Simply flash stock 6.1.1.B.10
Root and install cwm
Enter cwm
Flash v8
Wipe cache and dalvik (also data if you wish, still not mandatory)
Reboot twice
Done

[Q] Help please!! Boot loops after installing Zelly Cream v1.20

Please help!! I have searched all over this forum but i still can't find a solution to my problem
First of all, I'm still new in android modding so please forgive me if I don't have sufficient information regarding this question.
I have an Xperia neo, with the original ICS firmware (4.1.B.0.587), locked bootloader, rooted with this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327
and I use the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509 because my phone won't go to the recovery mode if I use the x-parts CMW package
I have tried installing the Zelly Cream v1.20 custom rom by following the exact instruction for locked bootloader, which is :
Installation instruction for Zelly Cream FULL ROM
Before installing this rom, make sure you have a complete nandroid backup and you
have performed all the necessary steps, otherwise you may get bootloop. I will not be
responsible for any kind of damage or loss to your phone, do this at your own risk. Read
carefully and follow the steps to install the rom.
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
5. Wipe battery stats under advanced menu.
6. Format data under mount and storage menu.
7. Format system under mount and storage menu.
8. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
9. Install zip from sd card.
10. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
11. Uncheck "Reboot device" after installation completed and click on next to go
back to CWM.
12. Now reboot your phone..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But my phone keeps rebooting (boot loops) so i had to reinstall the original ICS firmware using this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239 . After that i re-rooted my phone, restored my nandroid backup, and tried installing Zally Cream v1.20 again. But I still get boot loops and now I'm getting desperate (so in summary i have bricked/boot looped my phone twice trying to install the Zelly Cream) :silly:
So can anyone please help me??
Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
After flashing stock firmware why did u restored nandroid backup??
Flash stock firmware using flashtool with full wipe
Root it, install cwm
Goto cwm & wipe cache, data, delvik cache, format system, data cache
Now flash the rom
Reboot

did u wipe Dalvik Cache!???
Are you sure you followed all the steps properly and you chose Xperia mini? Try it again
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Note: After installation, first boot may take several minutes (to create cache, dalvik cache etc.) to start your device. Leave your device for 20-30 minutes to settle down the rom. Also at first boot you may notice a high ram usages (less free ram). It is natural because android system occupy a lot of memory while settling down the new rom. After 30-40 minutes reboot your device and you are now ready to fly with your newly installed rom.

Yes i've selected it. And it still doesn't work. Any help? I really want to use that rom so bad.
Did you flash the kernel Included (or recomended) for your rom? because if you are stuck at a sony logo it seems to me that you still have stock kernel.
Edit: it seems that you have just hot boot the first kernel with recovery so when you boot again it just revert to stock Kernel.
That would explain why you can't access to recovery the second time.
You need to really flash the kernel:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Plus the usb Cable in While pressing volume up.
3. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" If you use fastboot in command line or "Select Kernel to Flash" button if you use fastboot in Flashtool.
Edit2: Ok I just realised that you have Locked bootloader so what i just told you won't work. Sorry.
Did you really follow step 10 and 11 and chose "reboot to system"?
The only thing I can think of would be to unlock your bootloader using mihahn thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879750 and then install a custom kernel.

yeah i've never seen a feedback from people that's using the zelly cream rom with a stock kernel, maybe the problem is with the stock kernel. Now i'll try some other custom roms out there maybe they'll work with the stock kernel and a locked bootloader.
Thanks for the support guys!

Hi, the first time i tried this i only wiped data/factory reset and nothing else, so when i rebooted from recovery mode i got stuck at sony logo. Took me some time to fix everything (flash stock ICS on device, root phone and install cwm again).
Now i did all this:
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Now when i rebooted from CWM (recovery mode) the sony logo appears for about 10 sec, than disappears for about 5-10 sec, and it's doing this over and over again for about 10min now.
Any ideas ?

Why did you flash the active user home button fix? It's for Xperia active st17 users! I guess that's the problem
Reinstall the rom like you did before and don't flash the active fix! It should work fine

I actually didn't do that, because when i reboot from CWM (after installing rom) that's where the sony logo flashes in about 10s intervals.

Hi guys..Currently I'm using "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro".I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.
After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".
I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.
note: I followed all the steps[/B]

Okay so here's a solution
1. Download flashtool first from here
2. Download ICS stock ftf from here
3. Now flash the ftf to your phone in FlashMode, when connected to PC
if any further query, let me know
Happy Flashing

Download the rom again and transfer it to your phone. Flash the kernel from inside the rom.zip, then flash the rom after performing wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

No, you have to flash it using cwm
Could it be you wiped /system before flashing? Because you shouldn't do that!

The kernel is the boot.img inside the zip. If you want to know how to flash it, check my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel
And you could do the following:
1. Open the zip
2. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/
3. Open the updater-script using notepad ++
4. Delete the first 3 lines saying "assert getprop"
5. Save it and repack the zip
6. Flash it
Maybe it works then! :good:

Flash the stock rom in flashmode using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, use the search
