*Update: Thanks everyone who came here and posted replies... it seems I had to check Facebook box... checking it installs Facebook app (I don't like Facebook) and solves the black screen problem I was having.
Hi everyone,
I know I'm a noob and I read all related to what I'm trying to do right now, but I just can't do it right... Hopefully someone will help me. Here's my problem:
I'm trying to install Real ICS ROM on my Xperia Mini Pro (sk17a). I installed the recommended kernel, reboot in CWM and did the following:
1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Installed Real ICS ROM from zipcard
When I reboot my phone, I go through the setup guide, but at the end it says "the setup guide stopped". I reboot my phone again and it gets stuck on Xperia boot screen. Am I doing something? I guess so cause I just can't get to the home screen =/
This:
Do have unlocked bootloader?
Have you installed a custom kernel? If so, the right kernel for your ROM/Device?

Yes, I have unlocked bootloader (official Sony method) and installed the custom kernel recommended in the Real ICS r5.2 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707876&page=101). After everything is done, I get this message: "Unfortunately, setup guide stopped". I can access the settings menu via quickstatus bar, but the home screen is all black. After rebooting, it gets stuck on Xperia logo boot animation. =/
By the way, when the phone is powering on, the led turns blue and the buttons turn white, then goes off and the bootanimation comes... is that normal?
did you wipe Dalvik Cache too???

Yes, under "advanced" option, right?
Here's what I'm doing and the order of steps:
1. Checked if it has unlocked bootloader (OK)
2. Install custom kernel recommended by the thread starter, using Flashtool in flashboot mode. It says everything was done successfully.
3. After installing custom kernel, I power on phone (Xperia mini pro, sk17a version - Brazil) and press the volume down button to start the CWM mode
4. Then, I choose to "factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "advanced > wipe Dalvik cache"
5. After that, I go and "install from zip card" and choose the custom ROM
When everything is done, my phone reboots... when in SONY logo, for a second the led turns blue and touch buttons turns bright white, then turns off... the xperia logo bootanimation comes and I can finally go thru setup wizard. But in the end, it stops working, the message says. When I reboot my phone, it gets stuck on XPERIA logo. =/
The XPERIA logo is animating, by the way. It's not frozen. It takes ages to get to home screen, and when it does, it's all black. All I can see is the quick status bar. Touch screen and buttons are responsive. The lock screen is all messed up and the button to unlock is out of range. Oh I want this ROM so badly, it is so cool.
Hi everyone. Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem that i cant boot into CWM. I have Neo MT15i running FINE with stock rom ICS .587, locked bootloader and rooted. I also installed x-Parts as well as CWM 5.5 and busybox 1.20. But my problem is that my phone just cant boot into CWM recovery no matter what i did either press and release volume - continuously when "SONY" logo appears, or using x-Parts function to boot into recovery. It just ends up stuck at "SONY" logo (I waited for about 10 minutes but no respond)
You have to press Back button while booting from Sony Logo to boot into CWM.

same problem for me...xperia neo v
Hello.
I have a similar problem, if not identical. I rooted my MT15i today hoping to install a custom ROM I found in this forum.
Everything went fine. I rooted the phone and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery properly.
Then, I downloaded the rom .zip, placed it in /sdcard, made a backup of my current system, wiped data/ full reset and installed the ROM with SUCCESS, as it said in the log.
After that, I rebooted the phone and now it keep stuck in the "SONY" boot screen and won't change no matter what I do.
But I think I know why did this happen. I was following a tutorial found in another site. There was listed only to wipe data and full reset, and not to wipe danvik and cache, as I came to read after I was stuck in the boot screen.
The problem is that now I can't even get to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, even if I start the phone holding volume down button (or reset, or any other button the phone might have).
The only thing to do is removing the battery. After starting again, it gets stuck again in SONY screen.
When I plug the phone into my PC, nothing happens. It doesn't get recognised.
It only turns on and stops at the SONY screen again.
I wonder if there's a way to access the Clockwork Mod Recovery menu or some way to return the phone to the stock settings.
Or is it a possible brick?
Thanks for the help already.
Ps.: sorry for the long post.
First of all don't worry your device is not broken
And not every custom Rom support locked bootloader
The reason you can't access cwm because you wiped data
I think you can restore your phone by reflash firmware using flashtool

I can get the phone to conect to the PC in flashmode. I downloaded the stock firmware of Neo MT15i (v 4.1.A.0.562) and flashed it, but no luck. The phone keeps stuck in the SONY screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: actually, when I bought the phone, it came with Android 2.3, I don't remember the firmware version.

It doesn't matter which android version you flash all should work
make sure you checked those boxes in flashmode
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe apps log
No final verification
And just to know when you flashed the firmware. Does it completed successfully?

Well, I got the phone to boot. I was just trying to flash an incomplete firmware, I guess. I downloaded a new firmware I found in a rooting tutorial thread in this forum and flashed it. The phone is now working fine.
But now it's not rooted anymore. Maybe in the future I'll try to root and flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help, anyway. :laugh:
Never mind, but I suggest you unlock your bootloader if you would like to flash custom Rom

What rom were you trying to install? Is your bootloader unlocked? And you can try flashing stock firmware with flashtool to revive it...

NEO V doesn't boot
Hi,
I installed following in my Neo V MT11i
Super Jelly Bean v6.0(16th august 2013)
best kernel for sjb(fusion 5.4)
debloated updated gapps
using following link . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632
I am using Kernel_Flasher_v2.0 to flash the image kernel. It recognises the device and shows that the kernel is flashed. But the device doesnt reboot. I root the phone through eroot software. Then I install X parts and go into recovery mode.
I wiped the phone fully, including system format.
Please guide where I am missing some crucial step.
I am using windows 8
Thanks in advance

Can you enter CWM?
If not, shut it off first, press power + volume down untill you feel 3 vibrations.
Enter CWM and format dalvik cache and cache, this won't lose any data, and try to boot again.
Does you CWM support adb?

CWM is copied to /system partition or is in custom kernel if that's what you had, it's lost once you flash new firmware, otherwise it should not be lost.
Istead powering up try to connect to the charger after you shut it off and try enter CWM then when you see the SONY logo.

How was it in safe mode, were you able to go past lock screen or backup with PCC?
Can you ebter fastboot mode or flash mode? If you can flash custom kernel that has CWM and flash stock after if you want stock.
Or you can flash firmware again if you don't mind losing data.
my moto e(1st gen) is stuck on boot logo as i came out of it by some how. it says that unfortunately system ui stopped and nothing is in the screen other than this msg what to do, i presses ok ,it appears again

Pasting this from another thread. I really need help.
Hi, I'm an android noob, and I'm having trouble installing this ROM. I go to recovery mode (TWRP 3.0.2-0) and I select factory reset and/or wipe dalvik and cache individually. I then go to my SD card and install the ROM and Gapps 6.0. I then reboot (tried wiping dalvik and cache too again before this step) and then, the motorola warning boot message shows up. I understand that it should show up for some 10 mins, but an hour is ridiculous. So I suspect that I'm missing something. Please help.
What is the rom and your device???
I got the same problem.
OK guys, so today I encountered the same problem. Actually I was trying to install the stock ROM, but I downloaded the wrong ROM and then when I had cleared all data(Internal Storage, dalvik cache, etc.) I accidentally rebooted my device and since then I'm stuck at the bootloader warning screen. Even when I try to power off so that I can go to recovery, it just restarts and I'm again stuck at that screen. Please help!

Hello everybody~
1. Xperia SP
2. BootLoop
3. Can't get further than Sony logo (it keep restarting so i assume I can't get to recovery screen)
4. USB debug is off
5. I dont have CWM, the last time i see my recovery screen is the cynagenmod recovery.
6. Now I had a problem turning it off...
I would hope to get the phone back alive, if not then at least retrive some of my files from the inner storage.
Worst case, I believe i can bring it to some techs who will break my phone to get the storage physically to do transfer. (not sure if that works??)
additional details:
I flashed a firmware which is by right the firmware for Xposed, xperia SP and that started the boot loop.
At first it can reach the screen of cynagenmod but it kept flashing for an hour, which i concluded that it is a bootloop.
I had wiped the cache partition as well as selecting the factory reset option in the cynagenmod recovery.
I flashed XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf using fasttool and from then on, bootloop had leveled up, and cant get pass Sony....
Thank you everyone!!
I forgot to thanks in advance~ hahaha
Flash stock ROM mate, always when that happens flash stock ROM. Did you even read before posting?
