Hello guys, probably i'm just i newbie and the answer of my question is easier than i think. I'm currently running the Cyano11 on my xperia p and i was thinking of trying a jb based custom rom, like the Phoenix. Firstly i have to flash the latest stock jb rom right? where i can find it? and for installing it, what i have to do? like the other roms, i can flash it with the recovery? and, what about the kernel? sorry guys, i'm really confused about that... is there someone who can help a terrible noob like me? thanks u a lot
tom
When you are trying to flash a rom read that page completely .. It has all the info you will actually ever need ever
Go to xperia p devlopment page .. First thread will be some thing like this "ROOTING UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER xx xxx xxxx .. NOOBS here !"
Read that thread completely you will end up having all you need
For kernel .. there is kernel in built in a rom so when you flash sony's rom you will have sony's kernel . For phoenix he asked you to flash NEMESIS because it gives you a custom recovery so that you can flash your rom from there .. thats it .
HIT THANKS dude .. psst I OWN A XPERIA P

Hi everybody,
I'm a noob on xda developers, so I maybe ask bad questions, and i didn't find a similar thread.
I've just rooted my xperia mini pro with superoneclick and installed cwm. Now I want to flash a new rom, but I dont want to unlock my bootloader (my xperia is 4 months old and i dont want to unlock)
Where can i find tutorials and roms for my mini pro, which can be installed with locked bootloader via cwm?
Thanks for reading and please answer
Michi
Stable ROM: Xperia UXT NXP
Unstable, still in testing ROM: GB ExMIUI by expeacer
Both are in development section, go look there. Only these can work with locked bootloader and stock kernel.
So I can't download any rom for my xperia yet?

ok what about this rom?

Galnet miui?
That ROM is for Droid X as far as I can tell. It won't work with mini.
@someguyfromhell, could you please provide a link to Xperia UXT NXP ROM?
I can't seem to find it
Ok then there are only 2 roms i can use? What a pity!

You must install it without formatting system or cache first, or it won't work and you'll be unable to boot ur device (like me - but fixed it )
LoL. I saw that thread. Actually I just took a glance, and mistook it for some mod or something.
Talk about n00b
Thanx for the link
As I have flashed ROMs on many device such as Samsung, HTC and more.. Till today I never used SONY ... Today one of my friend pleaded me to find him a custom ROM for xperia mini.. model no E10i... I have downloaded the full toolkit which recently got updated to new base.
I tried the root and got success.. I have installed the custom kernel.. but after installing it.. I tried to flash a ROM but it got aborted.. first I thought it might be the cause of download.. so I downloaded it again... I jus want to know whether there is need for unlocking bootloader.

if your trying to install any custom kernel you will really need to unlock your bootloader. and i think you cant flash custom firmware if your bootlocked.
You may find the instructions to unlock the bootloader here:

Okay,first of all,your friend asked for a CUSTOM ROM right?Have you make sure that you unlocked your friend phone bootloader?
And also does the kernel / Rom compatible with each others?

Hello !
I have a neo V under GB 2.3.4 build .62 with looked bootloader and non rooted
Now I want to install a new rom for the first time and it's PA JB Hybrid
I saw the instructions but i think it's very hard for a noob like me, I wish someone tell me step by step how to install the rom please and CWM
Also I have some questions :
After installing CWM there is any risk to brick my phone ? (really any risk?)
Is Hdmi is working on this rom ?
Is camera is working on this rom ?
is it smooth for games ?
Thank you a lot people and sorry if my english isn't good
first, you must UNLOCK Bootloader your phone.
You can use official metode or test point metode.
(search both metode in forum)
after that, your phone is ready for Custom ROM.
follow instructions to install PA JB Hybrid here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792
Ok i'm going to unlock the bootloader using the official metod.
Can I lock it after that if I want ?
I have seen the thread but I don't know how to flash boot.img do full wipes and flash base rom.....
Also I wanna know how to install CWM please
ps: someone can answer my questions in the first post please
Thank you a lot for your help people

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me

if u just want to root , your phone, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219781
its simple, one click & no downgrade need. (u can root your ics with this) and to answer your questions yes theses are (ROM) build numbers, has nothing to do with ur phone itself. bigger number means newer. yr phones build version is .587

Check the development forum for any kernel you like and choose one of all these kernels. Of course it has to be compatible with your android version
And all kernels come with an integrated recovery, so just try one
