Yes u can proceed but before flashing the rom..flash a suitable jb kernel in fastboot mode using flashtool..
check inside the ROM zip file u downloaded, if u have boot.img file...
Flash it in fastboot mode,boot into CWM
Mounts and Storage->Mount USB Storage->copy the rom to your sd card and then flash the ROM using CWM
Make sure CM build is not buggy..
Hit thanks if i helped u..
Regards..
Ok, I'll try this later. Thanks :thumbup:
When you change version and/or ROM, don't forget to make backup of your data and wipe data/factory before install new ROM.

Actually you should first upgrade the firmware to ICS using either Sony updater or flashtool.
In addition to that you also need to unlock your bootloader!
If you dont want to unlock it you should try a rom that supports locked bootloader.

hi all,
i am very big trouble.....
i had stock rom installed on my x10i.....after reading a lot about ThGo2 v17.0 rom i decided to install it (not the first rom i installed).....
after following all the steps i.e

2. booting to xrecovery and installing the custom rom provided and addons....
the phone did start but was very laggy so i decided to shift to stock kernel and flashed it using flashtool but the flashtool got stuck at 2% and said aborting flash...
so i disconnected the phone and now i am not able to flash any firmware or kernel

Cant you enter into flashmode????
Question
Need More details:
1)Locked or Unlocked Bootloader?
2)Which stock kernel you flashed? Downloaded from?
3)[If Locked Bootloader] Can you enter xrecovery? If can, make full wipe, clear cache partition, install new ROM via "install custom zip from SDcard.
4)[If Unlocked Bootloader] Try flash some custom Kernel for Unlocked bootloader like DooMKernel, see whether it reach recovery mode or not.
Sincerely,
whitefang
If can, pls kindly hit thanks button as an appreciation
YES

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
Hi guys, i've unlocked my bootloader and i've rooted. I flashed eXperience v.1.1 by Divaksh (stock based) and i want to return to stock ics 'cause i want to try cm9.1. Now the questions:
1- Will i have locked bootloader again?
2- Will i lost my root permission?
and the last: can i flash stock ics via CWM?
thank you :good:
Nope. Bootloader is independent of roms & kernels so you wont lose Bootloader unlock
But you'll always lose root if you flash Stock. And if you want to flash with cwm, see if anyone has uploaded a CWM flashable zip for the firmware. Else you need to use Flashtool
Hope it helps
Cheers

So this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030261 would work just wiping and flashing with CWM?
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
Yes I believe that ought to work fine
Enjoy
Cheers
Thanks man but the stock ics flashed by CWM and pc companion said me i had to update the system even if it was already .54 version and any attempt to update failed because of my unlocked bootloader. The same firmware flashed by flashtool didn't need any update and finally allowed my to boot "pure blood" ROM. Thanks anyway :cyclops:

i think you need to root your phone first,install cwm,then flash stock ICS ROM,after that then flash SlimCM rom.
what about kernel ?? do I need to install it in the end and what kernels work best with SlimCM ? won't I loose root when I flash stock ICS Rom ?

Use fast boot and flash sliding xu kernel. Actually I recommend transcendence kernel. Flash that, reboot into recovery, copy ROM zip to storage. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system and then flash slim cm zip

the link you posted has .587 firmware for mini pro.... download it....
you have to flash it first by using flash mode and then you will find boot.img in the zip file of Xtream Bean ROM V 3.0....
extract boot.img from zip and flash it in fastboot mode.... now go to CWM recovery and follow the instructions

I guess it's not really necessary to flash the .587 kernel first... just go ahead flashing the boot.img from inside the zip and boot in cwm recovery and flash the rom
If you really want the kernel, take it from here
thanks for ur reply

Normally there should be no problem just because you didn't flash the .587 kernel first, but you can try flashing the stock .587 kernel I posted earlier and then the boot.img you take from the rom.zip
Did you wipe before installing v3? Sometimes there are problems because you didn't wipe, but I don't know about the rom...
