i have live with walkman which i unlocked bootloader and rooted.
now i have stock rom 4.1.b.0.587
kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
installed cwm also
now i tried some custom roms(i did all wipes and all) but during reboot after installing,it displays 'sony' and nothing else.i get this bootloop always with all custom roms.cant even go into cwm mode after this.

Well @umesh840 i think you are not following the instructions to install the ROM properly..... however if you want to revert back to stock ICS... flash the stock .587 ftf file using the flashtool and flash a Custom Kernel(ex:Kappa 1.6) and then follow all the steps while you are installing a custom ROM
Note: The instructions will be given clearly in the ROM which you are downloading

It sounds like you are trying to flash a custom ROM on a stock kernel... while that might be done, it really depends on what ROM it is.
If you didn't change your kernel and installed CWM in some other way then possibly the reason why you can't go back to CWM is because you corrupted its files with this failed flashing attempt (please someone correct me here if I'm mistaken).
I recommend you flash back your .587 .ftf firmware, flash the recommended kernel for the ROM you are trying, and then flash that ROM from your new kernel's built-in CWM.
Also remember to follow whatever specific steps you need to take from the ROM's thread as there might be some additional work to be done or flash... and it wouldn't hurt to let us know the kernel and ROM you are trying to see if there's anything else...

[Q] What is wrong in Hybrom v12 on my phone ?

Hi, first i want to say sorry about my english level and thanks to people who reads my post.
I try to flash mi xperia mini pro sk17, with ..058 version of firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted and with CWM.
Will follow the step by step instruction, and after instalation my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson screen and nothing happens about 10 minutes and after then i remove the battery and try to enter in CWM and again nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same problem and how you resolve it ?
Thanks in advance for people who help me !
Respect for all XDA members !
Occured same problem, flashed my phone back to stock firmware until I find a solution.
Anyone has one?
ok...i will try to explain....I believe you have installed nAa-r2 CWM? It is defective CWM since it is put in system/ section... hybrom rewrites this section, thus, when you start recovery from system/ and try to install ROM, you try to erase CWM from under CWM....just update your FW to .62, install custom kernel you like and then make all wipes and install zip from sd card)

Yeah, I think the best way is to update to .62, then install b kernel (made by bbooff himself - unlock bootloader needed) then load Hybrom, then you can install any other kernel you like. But I have problem with X kernel with Hybrom, first one is bootloo and then draining batterry very fast ^^"

the rom is based on 0.62 Kernel, upgrade first to 0.62 then try flashing again, i dont know if this makes a difference but its worth a try
I solved my problem and installed Hybrom v12 now.
First, indeed, you need to have unlocked bootloader and .62 firmware, I used WotanClient to flash the firmware. Then I got other kernel, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161 this one.
Then I entered the Clockworkmod Recovery(press power button one-two times, when the screen goes lighter on turning on). Then I followed the instructions from the Hybrom and successfully installed it.
I got WT19i, but should apply the same.

ROM problem

I have a week trying to install a new ROM to my phone (xperia mini pro). I follow the instructions, install the recommended kernel for each Rom. When i finish installing the ROM i reboot the phone put the kernel logo and don't do anything else (the last time i let it in the kernel logo for 10 hours and it didn't work).
I fix it using Wotan server. But what i really care about is that i want to prove new Rom, so if someone can help me i will be really thankful.
PS: Sorry if you think my english is bad, is because my main language is not english

Hello,
I'm having the same problem, I don't get it at all. I bought my Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) yesterday and so far I have been only able to flash stock rom and MiniCMSandwich AOSP Android 4.0.4 RC3, both of which work fine.
With all other roms I get stuck on the logo (depending on kernel - Sony, Sony Ericsson or Free Xperia logo). I do full wipe, dalvik cache etc. but nothing helps.
So far I tried: FXP 117 7.2.0, FXP 117 9.0.0 and XROM™ ICS RC7.
I tried different basebands, flashing in different order etc., no matter what I get stuck on the logo.
Could someone post a detailed step-by-step instruction how to flash either FXP or the XROM on the Mini Pro? Which baseband should I use (and how do I know it's the baseband's fault when the rom doesn't work), what about Wi-Fi etc.
I flashed Galaxy S+ (I9001) before and didn't have any of these issues.

I do exactly as it says. I had to flash stock rom before that, because update zip wouldn't work if I started from AOSP (or if I wanted to apply it after flashing FXP)
BTW, do I really have to flash stock ftf (kernel+baseband), which overwrites my CWM each time I want to flash FXP? I hate losing CWM.
Anyway, I did this:
1. I put the update.zip on the sdcard
2. I flashed the boot.img I unpacked from the update.zip using fastboot (went fine)
3. I applied update.zip using CWM
4. I did factory reset from CWM and wiped dalvik cache
After reboot - it hangs on the Free Xperia logo. I also tried flashing Rage kernel 2.8 with the same result. Oh, and does it matter if I flash kernel before or after the rom?

rage kernel is not compatible with cm7,
mostly kernel is flashed before the rom, but either way should work i guess..

That's because for some stupid reason you formatted the system partition, which must not be done on some ROM installations.
The CM7 installation requires info from the system folder, but since you formatted it, you don't have the info on your phone and installation cannot be installed.
Reinstall stock firmware, follow the same procedure, but do NOT format system, but do make factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Well, I was asked to try formatting /system.
Ok, again then. BTW, is there a pre-rooted .62 stock rom somewhere? I only see .69, which isn't good AFAIK.

Which ROM did you flash? Which kernel are you using? If it's an ICS based ROM, and you're on a .42 GB, obviously enough the phone won't boot properly.

What is meant by ics based rom??
It means that they are developed starting from official Sony ICS ROM. Therefore, they will only work if you are using ICS kernel.
Do this:
-Download from HERE Mini's ICS firmware.
-Use Flashtool to flash only the kernel: this means you have to select the ICS .ftf and then uncheck all "Wipe" boxes. Then check all "Exclude" voices, but leave "Exclude kernel" unchecked.
-After flashing the kernel, you should be able to boot.

Thnxx....But if I want to install those roms then what should I do?Do I have to root the ICS?? I have this ftf and just flashed but I lost root access.
Well, you lost root access because you didn't do what I told you to do.
So why should I tell you what to do next? You probably wouldn't do it.
So... you flashed ICS. Congratulations. Now, to root ICS, you have to flash GB back. Then root it. Then, you can:
a) Flash ICS following THIS tutorial to keep root. Then install CWM. Then, use CWM to flash the ROM.
b) Install CWM on GB. Use CWM to flash the ROM. And then you can do what I told you to do earlier. That is: ONLY. FLASH. ICS. KERNEL. Not the whole ROM. Otherwise, you'll have to start from the beginning.

Kernel and Rom to flash on my st15i

Can someone suggest me a kernel and an ics (or jellybean if exists) rom to flash on my xperia mini? I have now ics stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Also i want a guide to help me flash the rom and kernel.
(And also i have a question. Do i need a different custom kernel for every custom rom?)

If you want jelly bean, there's Cyanogenmod 10 by FXP, JellyVanilla and Cyanogenmod 10 by expeacer.
The easiest way to flash a kernel is via flashtool. Just download flashtool and install it. Go to the installation folder and install the drivers. For unlocking bootloader, fastboot should work for you and sdk tools should be installed.
Download the rom you want and the recommend kernel , place the installation zip file on your sd card and go back to flashtool.
In flashtool you click on the flash and select fastboot mode. You turn off your device and hold down the volume up key while connecting to pc. The blue led will light up. Then you select the boot.img you downloaded first. It should be named boot.img, otherwise rename it. Just select it and flashtool will automaticly flash it.
CHECK THE LOG BEFORE YOU PLUG OFF DEVICE!! If there are no errors, just restart device and press volume down again and again. Then you are in cwm. Look in the tutorial how to install the rom what has to be formatted/wiped (like cache or data, etc) and do it like it's explained there. Then select install zip from sd card -> choose zip and install it.
Just reboot and enjoy
After seeing the links of jellybean roms i changed my mind. They have much problems! So could you suggest me an ICS rom?

In this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694027 link it says that it has auto root. This means tha if I flash this kernel then i can flash the ExMIUIv4 2.8.10 rom without rooting?
Miui rom already rooted by default. Such autoroot kernel will give problem with miui rom, u'll get superuser from the kernel and lbe guard from miui at the same time.
I've fixed such bugs in my kernel, try it if u want.

Ok, can you send me a link of your kernel?
So,
1) I flash your kernel using flashtool
2) I download CMW (when i have your kernel and the stock ics)
3) I flash the custom rom
This is all i have to do?
Look in dev subforum, my kernel thread is there.
Anyway:
1- flash kernel. Obviously your bootloader need to be unlock to do this.
2- cwm recovery already in kernel, dont need separate download/install for it. Just boot into cwm after u flashed kernel.
3- do factory reset from cwm, then do wipe dalvik cache.
4- flash rom.
5- reboot into rom.
6- profit

everything is explained there. After unlocking your BL, flash a custom kernel RAGE KERNEL is my favorite as of now. If it gets into bootloop, meaning, your phone enters the boot animation but cannot get into the home screen, just make a full wipe in CWM. Then reebot. Works 100% with me!

You can unlock your bootloader officially,but you will lose your "DRM" . As a result, "track ID" and some features of "Facebook inside xperia" will never work again.Unlocking bootloader via "test point method" is somewhat hard.But it is the best way.That is how I've unlocked mine..!!

Ok You have the stock rom now.. so you can install recovery the way you did it before... (you know, go through the rooting process again and so on)
The ROM you tried to flash depends on a custom kernel, and the custom kernels have recovery built in, so it's not included in the ROM, that's why you lost it.
If you don't (want to) use a custom kernel, you need to find a ROM that is built for the stock kernel. Those ROMS will have the recovery included.
So in short: ROM for stock SonyEricsson kernel will have recovery included.
ROM for custom kernel will not have recovery, because it's in the kernel itself.

Yes, i know you did not flash a kernel. I tried to explain why you lost your recovery.
Think of your phone as a computer:
The hardware by itself can't do anything, so it needs software.
On a computer, you have a bios, or uefi, that initialises some hardware parts and then tries to find an operating system. On your phone it's called the bootloader.
The bootloader looks for the kernel, and loads it when it finds one.
The kernel then looks for the userspace software.On your computer it loads Windows, or Linux or whatever you have on there. On the phone that's called the ROM.
The bootloader on the phone is locked to look for the stock Sony Ericsson kernel, anything else will not work. But you can unlock the bootloader so it can find other kernels too.
The SonyEricsson kernel does not have recovery built in, so when you put recovery on your phone, it's installed in the ROM.
When you flash another ROM it gets overwritten, so if the new ROM does not have recovery included you will lose it.
A custom ROM that runs on Stock Kernel will have recovery included.
A custom ROM that runs on a custom Kernel will NOT have recovery included, because it is built into that custom Kernel.
So when you flash that ROM you will lose recovery.
So you went back to the original firmware, you will need to root the phone again and install recovery again, and then flash a ROM that says it will run on the Stock kernel.
The Nxt5 ROM expects recovery to be in the kernel, so it's not suitable for the SonyEricsson kernel.
I hope you understand this

On a computer, you have a bios, or uefi, that initialises some hardware parts and then tries to find an operating system. On your phone it's called the bootloader.
The bootloader looks for the kernel, and loads it when it finds one.
The kernel then looks for the userspace software.On your computer it loads Windows, or Linux or whatever you have on there. On the phone that's called the ROM.
The bootloader on the phone is locked to look for the stock Sony Ericsson kernel, anything else will not work. But you can unlock the bootloader so it can find other kernels too.
The SonyEricsson kernel does not have recovery built in, so when you put recovery on your phone, it's installed in the ROM.
When you flash another ROM it gets overwritten, so if the new ROM does not have recovery included you will lose it.
A custom ROM that runs on Stock Kernel will have recovery included.
A custom ROM that runs on a custom Kernel will NOT have recovery included, because it is built into that custom Kernel.
So when you flash that ROM you will lose recovery.
So you went back to the original firmware, you will need to root the phone again and install recovery again, and then flash a ROM that says it will run on the Stock kernel.
The Nxt5 ROM expects recovery to be in the kernel, so it's not suitable for the SonyEricsson kernel.
I hope you understand this
