Hey,
just flashed my Xperia Z2.
First unlocked, then flashed boot.img, then installed cyanogenmod and gapps.
Now the phone restarts but stays an boot screen. Since about 10 minutes.
I'm afraid of having an empty accu in the end.
What to do?

You probably forgot to wipe your data and cache before you installed Cyanogenmod.
I went through this same thing and even though I remembered to wipe data and cache before I installed Cyanogenmod, I didn't notice that during the wipe, CWM gave me an error mounting /data
What I had to end up doing to fix it all was:
1. FTF flash the original D6503 ROM to my device again.
2. Flash the boot.img for CWM.
3. Boot into CWM.
4. Wipe data and cache. (This time it worked no problem.)
5. Install Cyanogenmod
6. Install Gapps
7. Reboot
8. Enjoy the device.

You have to do this to recover from when you turn your phone into a brick.
EDIT: Oops, I just noticed I made a mistake up there. I actually flashed the D6503. NOT THE D6502. I have a D6503 device.

hey there!
I flashed my beloved mini pro to CM 9.1 and it works fine but I have some wifi issues running on CM9.1 and couldnt solve them, so my idea is to update to the latest M2 and see whether it will fix my problems and I love the new update tool coming with CM10.
but I'm not exactly sure how to do this. is it enough to put the zip on the phone and flash it? do I have to fastboot again? or do I have to put the boot.img somewhere?
and last but not least, which wipes do i have to do?
It's just the order of steps that are confusing me.
thank you for your time

Copy the cm10 zip on sd card, afterwards:
1. Flash the boot.img using fastboot (like on cm9)
2. Boot in cwm, wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache (maybe not necessary, but would be better!)
3. Install the zip.
4. Flash the gapps
5. Reboot and enjoy
That's it

mhh i have a little problem right now. i downloaded FXP142-cm-10-20121013-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip and extracted the boot.img to the directory where fastboot is. i placed the zip file on the sd card. i got into the fastboot mode and flashed the boot.img and rebooted. while rebooting i pushed the volume sliders and was expecting that cwm would boot but instead its in kind of a bootloop. i see the new freexperia logo and than the screen turns black.. it does this all over again.
what could be the mistake here?
EDIT: ok after trying it a second time everything worked like a charme! thank you for your help
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.

Have you selected locked bootloader option in Aroma installer? I tried Zelly cream with Lupus kernel - it worked fine

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.
Thanks for the support guys!

Hi, the first time i tried this i only wiped data/factory reset and nothing else, so when i rebooted from recovery mode i got stuck at sony logo. Took me some time to fix everything (flash stock ICS on device, root phone and install cwm again).
Now i did all this:
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.

Now when i rebooted from CWM (recovery mode) the sony logo appears for about 10 sec, than disappears for about 5-10 sec, and it's doing this over and over again for about 10min now.
Any ideas ?

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]
Hello.
I want to instal parandroid on z ultra and i have some questions:
1) where can i found aospa/cm11 ZIP (from step 2 of instalation guid)
2) witch 4+ version is stable (nonbeta)
3) on z ultra have i the lateral bar with the home buton?
4) on this rom can move the app to sd, because on stock rom i can't(phone is rooted)
5) can i instal it on a full stock phone(only bootloader is unlocked, no recovery,no root), because i guess that the boot.img (from step 2 of instalation guid) is a kernel with recovery.
Thanck you.
Ps i tried to ask Beerbong or in his thread but i coudn't because i don't have 10 post.
1) In the CM11 thread
2) the boot.img is inside the CM zip
3) I don't understand
4) I don't know
5) Yes. You're right. That's why you have to flash the boot.img first, so you get Recovery

Oh, that's PIE and you can use that too if you want to.
I instal parandroid especialy for that option.

The boot.img in the Paranoid Android zip is fine. Extract that and flash it using fastboot/FlashTool. You'll now have a recovery with which you can install the Paranoid Android system. Access the recovery by powering on the device, then holding Volume Up as soon as the LED turns green.

One more question.
I read în s4 and nexus 5 parandroid threads and i saw the instructions in the next format:
Samsung
update to the last custom recovery
wipe data/factory reset
flash rom and gapps
wipe cache and dalvik
Nexus
1. UPDATE RECOVERY
2. FACTORY RESET (If coming from another rom or stock)
3. INSTALL ROM
4. INSTALL GAPPS
4. REBOOT
5. CUSTOM KERNELS MAY BREAK ROOT, SIMPLY RE-FLASH SUPERSU
At the z ultra they said that we need to instal rom and then to factory reset and then wipe data and dalvik.
Anyway. What make me suspicious is that factory reset after instal rom. I talk with somebody and he told me that i will brick my Phone if i will do that. So i want to do next instalation Guid:
1) flash a New ftf file(the last)
2) flash that boot.img( what i find in parandroid.ZIP)
3) factory reset.
4) wipe data(i saw that i can do it At the same time when info factory reset, because în twrp, At wipe option i can check all data(inclusive dalvik)
5) instal rom
6) instal gapps
7) do a again Point 4
8) flash su
9)it's done

Yes it should work.
Most custom ROMs only include cwm recovery.
It froze at the boot logo as the kernel and system were incompatible, if you had of rebooted (vol. up and power button) and entered cwm again you could have made a nandroid and then installed the ROM

No. After first rebot it was compleatly frozen and i couldnt enter in recovery.
So if the kernel was incompatible, i think the kernel is for another version and i will ask on parandroid thread because it have no post ubtil 30 sept 2013.

Hi guys! I've been trying for the last hours to install Cyanogenmod 11 on a friend's S3 international (i9300). After some driver problems CM now installs fine, but after the installation finishes and the phone reboots the phone reverts to Samsung's stock firmware. Even though I select yes at the question that should prevent stock recovery from occurring.
I have tested every solution I could find out there to prevent this:
1. After CM setup finishes, I pull the battery and start the phone in Clockworkmod by holding Vol-up+home+power. Then I have wiped the cache, data and dalvik cache and rebooted. Still reverting to stock.
2. I have tried rooting the phone and removing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using Root explorer before starting the installation. There was however no file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which was also mentioned in som guides.
Nothing seems to work.
I can't understand that I'm the only one having this problem. Is there a solution out there? Thanks!

2. I have tried rooting the phone and removing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using Root explorer before starting the installation. There was however no file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which was also mentioned in som guides.
Nothing seems to work.
I can't understand that I'm the only one having this problem. Is there a solution out there? Thanks!

Thanks! The reason I did not do this before was that I am not really comfortable installing manually and was afraid to brick the phone (since it's not mine). But I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly
It's a shame that the automatic installer can't handle this though.

Haha! Actually you won't brick your device by installing a ROM for your device. You can only brick it by flashing a ROM from other device without porting it, and I think this will be then only soft-bricked. A hard-brick can be done by flashing basebands from different devices. But I hope you won't do that
Actually by installing a ROM only your system(apps, vendor files, tweaks, etc.) and boot partition(kernel, etc.) will be overwritten. And that won't hard-brick your device
But I can understand your fear. I was same as you when I was a beginner
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.
Describe the steps you followed to install the ROM.

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.
