I installed Rom Manager (followed lots of threads in XDA Forum), But when I reboot into recovery from Rom Manager. My phone just gets restarted. I wanted to install custom rom. Please guide me in detail.
Rom Manager says - device not supported.

If it says it's not supported It is probably not.
Search the Xperia Sola Android Development forum for CWM recovery for your phone.
I assume locked bootloader. so look for one for locked bootloader not custom kernel.

So you can flash custom rom if you like.
It just don't support your device.

Man, what is that ROM manager? What about the CWM flashing method?
As he says, there's a lot of ROMs you can use in that forum, is all up to you.

Why you use ROM manager? .-.
If you have unlicked your boot loader simply flash a custom kernel (which has recovery), boot into recovery, wipe and flash.
It's that simple.

Yeah, and only don't forget to copy theROM zip to your internal memory BEFORE you flash the kernel

[Q] How to upgrade from cyanogenMod fxp 044 to fxp 047

I am currently running cyanogenMod 7.1 fxp 044 in my X10i, and have problems to upgrade to fxp 047. This is what I have done:
I downloaded the fxp 047 package and put the update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip in sdcard.
then I booted the phone into xrecovery mode, select install custom zip form sdcard
and I got error messege saying that installation aborted with a long string of code ended with "error in...zip (status 7)".
I though the problem may be the locked bootloader, so I followed the post by 9Lukas5, but I got stuck already at step 2! After I downgraded the kernel, I plugged in the phone to the computer, but the flashtool kept saying the phone didnt turn on the usb debugging mode, although the debugging is ON already...
any idea? Any Help is appreciated!
The phone info is listed below:

thank you for your answer
but why cwm recovery? is Xrecovery not compatible with cyanogenMod rom?
I think all the new cyanogenmod developments are happening under CWM recovery only. Not sure about the xrecovery rom though. But I guess CWM offer better options. As we can directly reboot to recovery!

2. Yes.

why rom manger ??
just flash the recovery through odin
Why
Why would you? If you are rooted, chances are you have a custom recovery installed already. Just use the hardware keys to get to recovery mode. Rom manager is pretty pointless to be honest.
1q.i have installed this on stock gb - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288850

2q. i need to flash ics kernel first and after this i can flash ics based rom? or i can flash ics based rom with gb kernel?
stock
By stock, do you mean unrooted too? You should have root access before flashing kernels and such.
And if you flash a kernel through Odin you'll get the yellow triangle. Nothing to worry about there, you can ignore it or use ChainFire's TriangleAway app to get rid of it.

[Help] Mango goes Unrooted after flasing HaSa MIUI ROM.

Title says it all..
Tried rooting using Doomlord's method while on the above mentioned ROM, it said ALL DONE! but on reboot, my phone's still not rooted.
Reflashed the KRsH's Kernel too, but still no success.

What to do?
Device?
Which device do you have?
When I installed MIUI I got a root fix.zip to flash in recovery and I got root access back.
Not sure if it supports your device though,unless you have an active, mini pro etc.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device: Xperia Active
Android Version: 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
ROM: FXP CM 10
Kernel: FXP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks I will try that the next time I use that ROM
Now I'm back to ExMIUI..
I have reported the the Developer of HaSa MIUI ROM about this issue and he has said he will try to fix it in the next update
BTW if you allow root access to all apps then the issue is partially solved. You can have a look here

This is the jb pic if u want change the boot animation go to theme and app and u will find how to change the boot animation
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Choose your rom , stock or another jb variation like cm10
Download it save it on your phone normally comes a .zip format
Download odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686
Download cf root to give you root and recovery(cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Follow instructions of installing ( via a pc)
So now your phone has root plus a custom recovery if you press the 3 BUTTON combo of power+home+vol down it should boot into cwm based recovery 5.5.04 cf 1.5
Now once your in recovery you can "install zip from sd card "
Choose zip from internal
Select your zip you downloaded
And then yes.
Wait ~ till finished installing then "reboot system now"
Jb running on new phone .
Most custom roms come pre rooted , stock roms do not so will have to flash cf root again.
i miss anything ?
Custom boot animations require custom kernels which allow it . I use siyah but it is not compatible with jb.
Then scroll down to page where it says "need help installing custom boot animation" in themes and apps

You will have to find a stock rom for this device is the oem even released one. Just a heads up. Just because you got an android device doesn't mean it can be modded. Do your research first.

how do i install it
First thing to do is to check wether the bootloader is unlocked or not
If not unlock it
Get an official rom from huawei website
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v83920/f1/full/update.zip
Use huawei extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
and extract boot.img+system.img+recovery.img
Then reboot in bootloader (vol - + power)
Connect to ur pc with proper drivers
use fastboot to flash them properly (fastboot ,drivers could be found in google )
In terminal
Fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
Fastboot flash system c:\system.img
Reboot u're now back to stock
Fastboot reboot
