Hey, I downloaded the CM 10.1 ROM uploaded by percy_g2. Then I downloaded the new kernel uploaded by him to remove OC and then finally downloaded Gapps for CM 10.1. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked as well. I have installed CWM Recovery also. Well, I know how to flash the ROMS but want to ask that:-
1. I have two "boot.img". One in the zip file of the ROM and second is the one which percy_g2 uploaded as "Kernel to remove OC". Which one to flash and when?
2. What is the order in which I need to flash things and clear cache?
Please help!

1)Extract the boot.img from the zip of the rom file and flash it via flashtool.
2)Enter in cwm wipe personal data, cache and dalvik cahe.
3)Install the rom and gapps.
4)|Reboot and set up everything. Now turn off the phone and flash via flashtool the boot.img without oc.
There is another method but don't sure that will work. Extract the boot.img from the file without the oc and place it on the one of the rom. Don't extract anything, just replace it with drag n drop from the file without the oc to the one with the rom. After that do steps 1-2-3, reboot and you are done.

Sorry for this question but I do not have any customization on my XS. I have copied the CWM.ZIP and ROM.ZIP files on SD card. Could you please suggest how can I flash ROM.ZIP as I do not have any custom recovery installed.
p.s. The bootlocker is also locked.

This is a fix only for who is installing custom ROMs without custom kernel. To install recovery, search for it.
I have had a problem, after flashing Rom, before flashing your zips I wiped cache, and started this problem in recovery:
Can't mount CACHE/recovery/log
then after flashing your zips phone stuck reboting at logo sony, so I have to start from zero, do you know why have that ocurred, is it because wiping cache?

for the xperia sspeed rom for example, you can also use the stock kernel, but why can't i use it for cm10?
That's a stock based rom so you can use the stock kernel. Whereas CM10 is AOSP based so many things in the Kernel are different for example Wi-Fi modules as well as other things

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?

Expeacer's exmiui.
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

You don't need to download cwm, it's included in the kernel! Just flash kernel and reboot, while rebooting press volume down again and again!

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 so i did the same (did not flash kernel).................but now after flashing the .431 kernel via flashtool it is still not happening......it wont go past the sony logo..........when i try with SEUS it says i already have the latest software installed...........please help.
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

Hi, I know maybe it's a noob question, but I have installed cyanogenmod 9 in my Sony Live Walkman, and the kernel that comes with it.
Can I install a new kernel (like rage kernel) without having to install the rom (CM9) again? It will work just replacing the kernel?
Thanks!!!

You have to download the kernel onto your sd card (make sure it is for cm9). And then you can just flash it using cwm recovery :laugh: no need to flashing rom again

in recovery choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card. After that you can select your kernel and flash it
Press thanks if I helped you
if you've got the kernel in zip format, ready to be flashed, then go ahead in cwm and flash it.
But if you don't have it in zip format, then you'll have to make one for yourself.
For that, you'll need to extract the zlimage from your kernel and replace it with the zlmage from your cm9 kernel, not forgetting to recompile the kernel. make a flashable zip, or download one, and flash it.
Hello!
Sorry if this thread looks repetitive, but I'm new on this kind of thing and just want to make sure all goes right with my Xperia U! Tomorrow will complete one week of reading, researching and learning about ROMs, flashing, kernel, recovery, etc.
Can someone please just confirm if my steps are correct?
First of all, I have just unlocked the bootloader. Tryied to root too, but got some problems (ST25a, B154 stock kernel x.x) and later found root wasn't necessary as custom kernels already comes pre-rooted.
I want to use this Stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-stock-jellybean-4-1-2-v6-t2284394
Wich tells me I need to flash this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/kernel-experimental-v12-t2326515
Here are the steps I think I have to do:
- Move both .zips (kernel and ROM) to SD card
- On PC, extract the boot.img from KERNEL .zip file
- Flash boot.img with flashtool
- Reboot in CWM recovery mode (provided by the boot.img, i guess)
- Full wipe (cache, data, dalvik-cache)
- Flash KERNEL .zip via CWM
- Flash ROM .zip via CWM
- Reboot
Is this right? I really got confused when I saw every .zip has a boot.img on it x.x
Yes,Evert step is correct...But when you boot the phone in recovery,you don't need to flash the kernel zip...You already flashed it,don't need to do it again!

Really? I don't understand exactly what each files in that .zip do, but, boot.img ins't just a way to boot? The kernel will be installed with just that? What about the other files in that .zip? Is it for the case of already having recovery mode?
PS: sorry about my bad english
Edit: Do I have to move the .zip file to SD-card without the boot.img? Or I just leave it there?
Ok, this is it. I'll try this proccess today.
