Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a How To where every single step from having the phone over unlocking the bootloader, installing recovery, rooting, installing a new kernel, installing a rom and more.
I successfully rooted my Z2 but I think i forgot some details and i don't know what.
what i had and what i did:
-locked bootloader
-backup TA
-root with Doomlords Tool which also installs recovery
-install touchwiz recovery (everytime i go into recovery after i freshly installed it it works, but if i boot into the system and then want to reboot back into recovery my screen is ****ed up nad i cant see anything)
-install Doomlords Kernel <- (im missing this in my phone info. it just says im on standard kernel)
-installing a custom rom RomAur v3.3
-installing super su
-installing busybox
-lock bootloader
I just think i messed up a little.
Everything works fine but i dont think it runs THAT stable so i just want to have a real clean installation.
(sometimes my phone just reboots for no reason, i think it gets stuck somehow)
and that is why im searching for a nice how to step by step installation guide thing
i would like to have a rom where i can use my camera and xreality and the sony stuff.
greetings

A few unnecessary steps I think.
1 - Unlock Bootloader (You've lost your TA / DRM Keys if you did this already)
2 - Flash boot.img from Doomkernal using fastboot for your current stock firmware.
3 - Wipe Dalvik and Cache
4 - Boot into recovery and flash RomAur v3.3
5 - Then flash SuperSU.zip
6 - Wipe Dalvik and Cache
7 - Boot system
8 - Install Busybox
9 - Reboot
thank you defsix.
I did a backup of my TA before unlocking.
i think i forgot to wipe the cache partitions.
i will try your way and response if it worked later.
thanks
ok so everything is working fine by now.
but how do i reinstall a recovery without losing everything i did?

After flashing RomAur, before rebooting from recovery you are supposed to flash [NUT]'s dualrecovery.zip to retain the custom recovery.

yeah but after flashing RomAur your recovery will be the stock one i solved this problem by following your steps defsix and after i installed Rom Manager:
ROM Mananger v5.5.3.7

-Install or Update Recovery
ClockworkMod Recovery
-Unsupported Device
Device Not Listed Above
now i have touchwiz recovery and everything works fine.

I suppose you could possibly flash Doomkernals Stock Kernal with CWM , I would imagine that should work with RomAur if its using stock roms

Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

I get an error with the viper 1.0.3 rom. Sometimes when i open file explorer the program stops and quit the app. When i open it after that it works oke. I rooted my phone yesterday and put the viper rom + viper repacked kernel on my phone by doing the following steps.
- unlock bootloader and root the phone with the all in one toolkit
-make a twrp recovery with the all in one toolkit.
- make a backup in recovery mode
-install rom in recovery mode
-wipe cache partition in recovery mode
- boot phone and follow the setup wizard
-the phone rebooted a couple of times by itself.
-reboot phone in fastboot and flashed the viper repacked kernel with kernal flasher.
did i do something wrong and how can i fix it/ should i do it?
Was it because i did not Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset?
Reflashed the rom again.
Before flashing i wiped the cache partion, wiped dalvik cache and factory reset (user data)
I still get the force close with file explorer
Somebody can help me out? (I can not post in to the viper custom rom topic)
Don´t know why you can´t post in the thread there. But you have to use the special Viper TWRP Recovery in the newest version. Look in the thread, there it´s written.

Oké thanks. Does it really make much difference? Can I just flash the venom recovery with the venom kernel flasher? And after that flash the kernel again? I have now installed a lot of apps and installed nova launcher and created custom icons. Is it possible to save that and my settings of viper?
Hey guys,
I really need help about flashig a custom rom for my xperia mini. Because whenever i flash this custom rom(Zelly Cream) it successfully installed and i followed everything in the procedures given by the dev (wipe cahe/data/ format system etc) but the problem is when i reboot the system it wont go through the sony logo and i cant even access to the recovery. The only thing that i did is flashing again the stock firmware to fix the problem. But i want to use a custom rom. Need help guys! my mini is rooted, installed cwm 5.0, locked bootloader, stock kernel, build no. 587.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance

did u wipe Dalvik Cache!???
Are you sure you followed all the steps properly and you chose Xperia mini? Try it again
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Note: After installation, first boot may take several minutes (to create cache, dalvik cache etc.) to start your device. Leave your device for 20-30 minutes to settle down the rom. Also at first boot you may notice a high ram usages (less free ram). It is natural because android system occupy a lot of memory while settling down the new rom. After 30-40 minutes reboot your device and you are now ready to fly with your newly installed rom.

Yes i've selected it. And it still doesn't work. Any help? I really want to use that rom so bad.
Did you flash the kernel Included (or recomended) for your rom? because if you are stuck at a sony logo it seems to me that you still have stock kernel.
Edit: it seems that you have just hot boot the first kernel with recovery so when you boot again it just revert to stock Kernel.
That would explain why you can't access to recovery the second time.
You need to really flash the kernel:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Plus the usb Cable in While pressing volume up.
3. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" If you use fastboot in command line or "Select Kernel to Flash" button if you use fastboot in Flashtool.
Edit2: Ok I just realised that you have Locked bootloader so what i just told you won't work. Sorry.
Did you really follow step 10 and 11 and chose "reboot to system"?
The only thing I can think of would be to unlock your bootloader using mihahn thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879750 and then install a custom kernel.

yeah i've never seen a feedback from people that's using the zelly cream rom with a stock kernel, maybe the problem is with the stock kernel. Now i'll try some other custom roms out there maybe they'll work with the stock kernel and a locked bootloader.

I actually didn't do that, because when i reboot from CWM (after installing rom) that's where the sony logo flashes in about 10s intervals.
unable to install custom rom
Hi guys..Currently I'm using "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro".I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.
After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".
I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.
note: I followed all the steps[/B]

Be careful because PhilZ as a option to do a normal wipe factory reset but also a option to install a new rom which formats all the necessary files to do that including your system (rom). This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

If you have tried flashing stock (and you have flashed everything correctly and wiped correctly) and you are still stuck in bootloop the only option I can see is to try the rescue firmware in the stickies forum.
Be very careful and follow instructions carefuly as it containes a pit file,if this failes then I would suggest service repair.

Tried to wipe again and booted up. It just took longer than normal (5mins) and then it booted up as normally. Thank you very much !
Now, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod again (Not Installer !), I just have to root and then flash Cyanogen Mod, right ?

Yep I agree don't use installer seen alot of problems with it... If you just want to install Cyanogen Mod (or any custom rom) with custom recovery then you do not need to root (only root if you want to backup or access anything from system), all custom roms come with root included. Just use a custom recovery wipe then flash your rom (factory reset if it bootloops) done.

HI tall man, Same here Ive stuck in Samsung galaxy Siii GT-I9300 Logo only, and i cant also go to recovery mode, which i dont know. but i can go to download mode. this happen after my phone restart automatically. verison 4.4.2 kitkat by archi, Thanks
Hi, newbie here. I have trouble with wifi. My phone is Xperia P
I installed aospa rom, at the beginning everything was fine but few hours later I couldnt turn wifi on. I didint know what to do, so I just factory reset the phone. Same thing happened.
Then I installed Blur Line (CM 11) rom, same thing happened again.
On advanced setting it says Mac adress unavailable (idk if this is related with problem)
I searched google and xda for possible solutions.
solution 1 is installing sqlite editor and changing "wifi_display_on" value to 0
this didnt work because it was already 0
solution 2: settings/wi-fi/advanced/wi-fi region code
this didnt work too. I select Turkey (I live in Turkey) but whenever I exit settings and turn back none of the region is selected.
solution 3: copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin file to somewhere
it is on motorola atrix hd thread, so idk if this can work for my phone too. I downloaded it but havent tried yet
Do you think it can work for my phone, or is there any "wifi fix file" for Xperia P
What sould I do now? Should I install another rom (slimkat, pacman, miui v5) or is there any solution for fixing wifi?
Thanks for replies.

My phone was on stock rom, rooted and cwm installed.
First I unlock bootloader via flashtool, then I flash the boot.img via flashtool
I flash the rom and gapps with cwm (wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset) but then I flash the rom with twrp (wipe data, cache etc) again.
i dont know if I wipe some important data
formerly I installed some stock base roms via cwm, and I didnt wipe anything extra this time
I backuped TA partition before unlock bootloader. Is wifi work if I relock bootloader and flash stock rom & kernel

Seems like some kernel modules are missing.
This is a sure method-procedure that I follow for flashing a new ROM on my and on my friends' XP.
1)flash stock JB firmware(ftf) using flashtool.
2)flash boot.img from the ROM you want to flash, using flashtool.
3)reboot in twrp using power button during boot up.
4)wipe data, cache, dalvik.
5)flash ROM + gapps and reboot.
