Today i bought Sony Ericson Xperia Mini ST15i, i upgraded the default firmware to the latest v.62 then i used flashboot to unlock the bootloader which appeared to work according to flashboot in command prompt. I then booted into the CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.6 and i did "wipe data/factory reset" then installed cynogenmod latest stable version then restarted and it just hangs on the cynagenmod logo, sometime it shows the unlock screen for a few seconds then shows cynagenmod logo. I can get into CWM Recovery, i've tried re-flashing my official backed up image that i made with CWM-based recovery and i've tried flashing cynagenmod. I've also tried formatting cache, data and system and then flashing cynagenmod or the backup image but still doesn't work.
The links on this site for the v.58 firmware are dead.
I need to bring my phone back to life and prefereably put the latest cynagenmod on it. The phone was factory unlocked to all networks btw, i'd like to keep that.
I have "flasher" which is able to communicate with the phone but i've got no original images to try and re-flash my phone with.
PLEASE HELP!

Seems like your phone is bricked and stucked at bootloop
Can you still access CWM ? If you can , just reflash the rom , maybe it will help .
Try this if all else fail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd8LxBwpYmg .
just flash back the stock ftf or if you have a unlocked boatlader flash a custom kernel and rom that runs on that kernel
Got stuck on Sony logo
Hi
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!

There must be a back option at the bottom of every menu, and the back button may work too.
Re-flash stock rom.
And please don't spam.

what version of the OS are you running ICS or JB?
I'd say download whatever version ROM you are running (ICS or JB) and put it onto an SD card in a "backup" folder formatted for the OS you have and then do a restore from TWRP.
I had a similar issue -- I think when I was installing the JB version of TWRP I also tried to change the screen lock image not realizing that the process had changed for JB. I had a complete mess and I also had the NO OS INSTALLED messages at one point..
What I did (note I had Jellybean on my Nabis, so this is biased towards working with JB):
1. Make sure TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Jellybean is on the Nabi.
2. Download the stock 2.3.11 ROM from the Nabi wiki site and unzip it into a folder on your PC.
3. Next you need to copy the 4 recovery files from your PC to your SD card. I put the SD card into my PC and copied the files over putting them into a TWRP back up folder on the SD card. Now, in order for Jellybean TWRP to recognize the backup, I had to fool it into thinking I had a "good" existing Jellybean TWRP backup and rename the TWRP backup folders to something like this:
TWRP\BACKUPS\0f41000001000000\2014-01-24--09-54-07 JRO03C\
4. Put the SD card back into the Nabi and then boot into TWRP mode.
5. Do a restore from there.
It *should* install a clean fresh copy of Jellybean on the Nabi. It does take what seems like an eternity for it to get past the spinning circle with the NABI logo when it's loading for the first time so be patient.
I have an Asus Padfone 2 A68 JP version upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 via asus.com :highfive:
I am unhappy with the upgrade :crying: to my personal experience, the ZenUI interface is not very appealing
1st, it is not user friendly looking for apps, customizing desktop apps and widgets are not that special :fingers-crossed:
2nd, battery drains a lot faster that it used to be
3rd, wifi is problematic, can't make my phone connect to Google Play Store when phone is connected to my laptop, it says no internet when in fact it is :crying:
Can anyone please advise how can a Padfone 2 upgraded to Kitkat be downgraded? I tried the normal way, copying the JP_PadFone2-user-10_4_17_7-UpdateLauncher.zip file on to sd folder Asus\Update, phone notification appears saying there is an update available, but installation fails, obviously because of newer system and read-only files existing.
My Padfone 2 Kitkat is towel-rooted. I only use stock recovery, no CWM or TWRP, not yet. I will try to be cautious this time :angel: I just got back my A66 Padfone 1 from Taiwan for service repair, because it was bricked while I was installing CWM/TWRP.
Any expert advise is highly appreciated. Thanks
you still having a issue ?
try that method
Download original firmware asus webiste. (android 4.1)
unzip it once .
file called 10.............ota.user.zip (at least with ppadfone infinity)
put it on your sd card
if you done disconnect from computer
then it should be a triangle in notification bar upgrade found or something like that if not restart phone and then it should be there.
press ok and wait phone to upgrade/dowgrade.
I hope it wortks.
I have a WW ROM but basically facing the same problem. Still looking for help...
I've spent 2 days researching and trying stuff out until today. I have finally downgraded my Padfone 2 from Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H.WW_PadFone-11.8.4.12-20140804 te) to Android 4.1.1 (GuerillaROM-v1.6_OFFICIAL912014).
GuerillaROM looks just like PF2's stock 4.1.1 and it's awesome for me because 4.4.2 was... aesthetically unappealing.
Anyhow, this is my story, don't know if it will work for you, but it worked for me.
- in step 2 I accidentally erased my files, so... back your files up on a PC.
Don't hold me responsible for anything that happens to your phone, do stuff on your own risk. Guys who do this stuff (not me) have made these procedures as simple as they could, so that the end users (we) could **** our phones up as little as possible. These procedures have minimal risk, but the risk is still there.
1. UnLock (unlock Bootloader)
- got from Asus.com (http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=PadFone+2&p=29&s=1)
(OS: Android --> Utilities --> "Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader")
- worked now. Didn't work a year ago, don't know why
2. Followed directions from theunlockr.com (http://theunlockr.com/2013/06/09/how-to-root-the-asus-padfone-2/)
- has done me a factory reset (all data wiped) on 4.4.2 + installed SU
- Root Checker: Failed
- Root Checker is an app from Play Store
- stopped at step III 8 because Root Checker didn't verify
- don't know if matters, but I installed
drivers for bootloader from Asus.com (http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=PadFone+2&p=29&s=1)
OS: Other --> USB
2a. I also downloaded adb (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
but turns out I didn't need it.
3. went to hexamob.com, found "Android Rooting Method: Towelroot"
- http://hexamob.com/how-to-root/android-rooting-method-towelroot/
- followed that
4. Made it ra1n b^.^d
5. Root Checker: Pass
6. Installed TWRP Manager
- from Play Store
7. Installed TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0
- the later ones didn't work
- the earlier ones messed with SU
- try for yourself
8. Got SuperSU (#) from Play Store
9. Updated it for TWRP/CWM
- (reboot - running open recovery script)
10. Installed GuerillaMOD
- followed from xda
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268613
11. White ASUS logo freeze (like xda said it could)
12. After 2 or 3 forced reboots
magically unfroze after awhile (~2mins)
- don't ask me how or why
- don't count on it magically unfreezing (there's a solution for that freeze on that thread (in the FAQ))

Thanks. mate, very nice work. I will try your guide as soon as I have the chance, although not too soon because at present my phone is linked to many of my online bank requisites.
Your share is well appreciated.
