[Q] Bootloop On Sony Bootscreen ! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I't all started when i tried to install a custom rom (Zelly Cream to be exact) on my xperia neo. Before installing it, i first rooted it with a locked bootloader and all was fine. Then i proceeded to install the custom rom. Before installing it, i -
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache partition.
3. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
4. Wipe battery stats 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.
Then i entered aroma installer and all was fine until the first boot when it just went to the sony boot screen and it would just bootloop from there.The main problem is that i cant get into recovery even though how mush i try. I made a nandroid backup before doing all of this and i wish to restore this backup. I am new to all of this stuff so please PLEASE help. I don't know what to do. BTW flashtool would just say device disconnected when i connected the phone to it. I'm running ics 4.0.4. Thanks in advance..

You needed to flash mt11i stock firmware to increase system partition size... And cwm is gone since you formatted system... Now You can flash with Flashtool to get back to stock which you seem to have problems with... Try SEUS...

Tried SEUS
Thanks for the reply. Just as you said, i tried seus but i couldn't enter fastboot mode. Everytime when i press the back button and connect the phone to the pc, it would just boot up into sony boot logo and bootloop from there...

My Bad
My bad. I was doing it the wrong way to boot up in fastboot. Now i can finally try seus. Thanks again for the reply:silly:

Just a correction... That will be flash mode...

Flash a custom rom
O sorry. Btw, if i want to flash a custom rom, i'll have to go from MT15i firmware to mt11i firmware right...

[Q] unlocked bootloader + custom kernel, flash custom rom success.. but stuck

hello..
i've search thru the forum, and my prob is somehow differ than others..
already unlocked bootloader.. apply custom kernel successfully..
step i do to flash rom:
- backup in CWM
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
still stuck at sony logo.. wait around 1 hour.. nothing happened...
then i remove battery, try to boot into cwm..
success..
but the cwm background pic changed with wording "CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7 Full (by DooMLoRD)".. not like before.. and i restored back..
the ROM i tried is Pureness build 3 and jjHybrid 3.1.. both give same problem..
check screenshot of my system below.. is there's any problem with my system?
or it is related to odex?
so.. got any idea or possible solution?
or my phone problem itself?
thx in advance...
try other kernel...
1. Pureness build 3 ,Kernel :Night Elfs ICS Kernel mod
2. jjHybrid 3.1,Kernel Use any of Following
a) STOCK Kernel (No OverClocking)
b) shardul_seth Kernel
c) Night-Elf Kernel
d) Adridu kernel
look at specific thread,you will find the answer.

I see that you are not wiping/formatting your data.. Wiping data is essential when installing a custom ROMs or switching ROMs..
Before wiping cache, format your data first!

it is not enough to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stat etc? becoz i already done all that through CWM.
and a noob question, how to properly format the data? phone data or sdcard data?

The data has to be wiped when you install a custom ROM.. Since some of the data can cause troubles to the new ROM you have installed..
I advice you to do the following when installing a ROM.. Follow step by step..
- Flash the kernel first
- Boot into CWM mode by pressing 'volume down'
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install custom zip from sd card i.e your custom ROM zip file
- reboot now
there you go now!
PS. Data formatting has to be done in CWM mode and it will not erase your sd data! So relax!
Also, press 'Thanks' if I helped you!
CHEERS!

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.
must i tell this in every reply?
this is the exact step doing all of this..
flash kernel via fastboot thru command prompt window..
and flash rom thru cwm with this step..
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe data/factory reset,cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
and chill bro. i have problem here, and i ask about it because i dont know what to do.
and fastboot folder must placed in android-sdk folders or it is not necessary?

Are you sure the kernels are compatible with the custom ROM you are using? Usually the developer suggests some ROMs. Also, you might need a different baseband for the kernels you are using. Which ROM are you using? Some have extra steps you have to perform.

Only boot.img has to be placed in android sdk folder.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm not awake today. Boot.img must be in android sdk and only the fastboot.exe file. I doubt it's got anything to do with that though, if you can successfully flash kernels.

He said he has a locked bootloader, and the Real ICS is supposed to work on both locked and unlocked bootloaders, you even have an option to pick whether yours is locked or unlocked during installation.
I have the same problem. My LWW device has blocked bootloader (unlock not allowed), and was running rooted stock 4.0.4 .587 prior to update.
After installing Real ICS r5.2 I'm stuck on the Sony logo.
After installing Real ICS r6 it gets stuck in a bootloop (Sony logo-->Boot animation-->Restart)
Luckily I can still boot into recovery and restore my rooted stock ICS. Later I will try flashing the Real ICS Lite version, though I really wanted the full version.
Since I cannot post in the development section I'm asking you guys to help, please.
Additional info:
- I wiped user data, cache, dalvik cache before updating.
- I don't want to unlock my bootloader (again the Real ICS is supposed to work on locked BL too)
- Yes my stock ICS was rooted, had CWM Recovery installed, backups created.
EDIT: Problem solved, apparently you need to manually format /system along with /data, /cache and /dalvik cache before flashing!

Flash the recovery from the computer and try again. You don't have to reboot where you did, you have to continue with the steps.

Sola stuck at Sony boot logo
Hi,
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!
I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.
1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.
2. Enter CWM
3. Make a full wipe:
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. format /data (advanced)
8. format /dache (advanced)
9. format /system (advanced)
-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.
I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime. It would be very kind if you could help me in getting the phone to work as normal.
Thanks,
Irfan

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply bro, yeah but it is said in the rom that it works with stock kernel. I dont want to unlock my bootloader maybe i'll brick my phone and i don't know how to fix that. I'm pretty sure that i've followed every steps given by the dev but still the same thing happened. Now, i tried to flash the stock kernel and root again and install cwm again then i tried to flash the custom rom via cwm and followed every steps then reboot. And still it wont go through the sony logo. really need help guys!

When you have 10 posts you may ask in the dev thread, maybe there's a little step we all missed and so it's not working

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.
unable to install custom rom
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

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:
