try a diff kernel first..if that doesnt work..then
start from scratch..check if this happens with official ICS..if it does, then its prolly kernel related i guess..reflash kernel..

I am not sure because I never used a miui Rom but if I remember correct most or all miui roms are based on cm.
And cm needs special kernels. So flash a proper kernel than the rom and all should be fine.

I usually use night elf v1.5 or 1.4 kernel, they worked with miui fine before this problem,
You mean I flash a stock Rom and then check the problem?
My bootloader is unlocked ,isn't it dangerous?

Ok learned something new.
Till now I only knew from miui roms that come cm based. Thats the reason I never tried one.
For me there is only one good cm Rom and thats the old good cm 7.2

What should happen?
Your bootloader stays unlocked. You will get stock kernel back but you can flash back night elf kernel.
If you flash stock Rom with an ftf file you can exclude the kernel and your currently flashed kernel will stay.

no its not dangerous
Hey XU guys!
I have an ST25i and I need a bit of help.
I am running an unknown ROM that I don't know how to fix. If any of you have...
-An Xperia U ST25i
-Rooted
-CWM installed
-Stock ROM and Kernel
Can you...
Go into CWM. Go into advanced. And do create firmware.zip and send it to me. I need it back to stock and PCC and Flashtool won't work.
Thanks!

If its all stock than sus should work, did you install all drivers? Did you connect phone properly to the pc? What is exactly your problem?

Hey
Well my problem is that I am running a ROM that is not stock
I would like to revert back to it so I may get OTA updates.
In Pcc it said my phone was already updated.
And I cannot install Flashtool. I tried to use it to root my XU and it never worked.
PS what is sus?
Thanks

Why don't you just go to settings/ about phone and see what you're running?

SUS is Sony Update Service download it and install, open choose your phone and click on update and then just follow instructions on screen of your PC

That's definitely stock Sony build number. Look at my build number because it's custom, compared to yours -

Yes but I now know what from it was. Its called Infinity Smooth Custom System ROM, and as it says in the title, it was only a system ROM, which didn't require a new boot.img to be fastboot flashed.

Is the bootloader unlocked? That may be why ota updates and pcc won't work

I could do that but I was looking up if there is a way I could relock the bootloader and restore it with PCC?
Sent from my ST25i
I think you can re lock. Not too sure how it works tho. There are definitely guides around tho!
If you're keeping the phone for yourself tho I'd keep it unlocked and just flash cm9. It'll be far faster and smoother than stock
Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
Couple of things.
First of all thanks for all of your help.
Secondly, I am keeping it for myself, but I'm a tad concerned about installing a custom ROM and Kernel.
I have heard of CyanogenMod and apparently they offer a near stock experience. But as Flashtool is not working for me, if I fastboot flash the boot.img then would that mean I could never revert back to stock?
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yea you can always revert back to stock. But I promise you'll never want too. Lol. If you already have cwm then all you need to do is download the cm9 zip and flash in recovery (following instructions in the thread as to what to wipe)
As for flashtool, have you installed all the drivers from the drivers file?

Hi
I am using cm10 (JB 4.2.1)26-01-2013 Dated build on my neo v.now I want to flash another build dated 3-2-2013.so shed I once again las the kernel or is out sufficient to flash the ROM thru CWM..please help me
Many thanks
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda app-developers app
The new version of rom will also work with the old kernel, but maybe the new kernel has more fixes... So, its upto u.. If u want flash the new kernel or just flash the rom..
Sent from my Xperia neo V using Tapatalk 2
When did cm 10 become 4.2.1
Afaik its 4.1.2
Anyways, you can use use same kernel like Samak said but maybe the new kernel is there for a purpose(like new features,bug fixes)so you're free to flash new kernel
Or just keep your old kernel!
After all its not that old (matter of few days)

If you are on cm10.1 you have an unlocked bootloader and PC Companion and SUS won't work anymore
You have to use flashtool, try it again with another ftf maybe or update flashtool. If there's still a problem, post the log to show us what's wrong

Just go back to ics based rom and then start seus
I have an Xperia Neo MT15i on 2.3.4 that I would like to pdate to ICS. My problem is that the USB port is dead so I cannot update it via SEUS.
Does anyone know how I can get the ICS update as a flashable zip? The phone is not rooted and has the stock 2.3 ROM.

It's not possible as ics will require a different kernel and kernels can't be flashed without usb port...
