Strange...
My phone's speakers suddenly started to growl so I rebooted my phone. It booted and freezed on Bootanimation and rebooted.
Done factory reset, all the time the same
Cleaned to install new rom via PhilZ and installed ExistenZ Premium v6 - the same
When I connect my phone to charger, the red light blinks (unlocked bl? ) and then I see charging animation.
Can sb tell me what's this this red blinking?
Got it when I had unlocked bootloader, but some time ago I locked it by TA Restore.
What's up?
Just found that bootloader had unlocked himself!!!!
Guyyyyyys is it possible?

Yes I did. I have flashed Android 5.0.2 stock rom, then rooted via KingRoot and installed NUT's Dual Recovery and flashed custom rom. But remember on locked bootloader you can flash only stock-based ROMs.
But it didn't solved the problem...

Hello ... I hava an atrix 4g with 2.3.6 OTA update and Locked Bootloader .. I've rooted the phone and installed bootstrap recovery successfully and made a backup for official rom ...
The problem is after Flashing Ginger Blur Rom my phone stuck at "Dual Core motorola Screen " and as i read, flashing Official SBF File may cause hardbrick .. So is there any solution to enter Boot Strap recovery Using Fastboot and make a restore or anything else Safe ?
Thanks for this Professional Forum ....
Get the correct Kernel zip file, to flash over CWM.
Thanks you ... but my problem is that I cant access CWM Recovery because i Have a Locked Boot loader and there is no way to launch bootstrap recovery and reboot to CWM
You can use Android Recovery (3e) by default, HOLD down volume and shows fastboot than, Recovery. Its a stock.
Ok ... but what should I do with stock recovery I tried to wipe but the device still stuck and also i cant flash any rom using the stock recovery
You can flash stock kernel another way. By Android Recovery, with CWM.

Read OP boot loader is locked. He can't install cwm without unlocking boot loader. And I don't think flashing a stock kernel will help bring back the phone to stock.

You should have not flashed ginger blur with the locked boot loader…ill search around and look for a solution. Are you OK with unlocking your boot loader?
<edit> flashing the sbf should fix the issue. Make sure you DON'T flash sbf lower than 2.3.6 otherwise you'll brick your phone.
I have xperia mini ST15i rooted with stock kernel and ROM ICS. Now I want to use some custom ROM like CM10 JB for it but there is no way to install the clockworkmode recovery on it I tried a tutorial which let me install the tool on my device ad I installed the ROM manger but it is reporting that CWM is not compatible with my device. When I press the Backup current ROM it just reboot and nothing happens, while in article they recommend the CWM to use a custom ROM.
I tried to install the CWM from http://mobilecon.info/install-sony-xperia-clockworkmod-for-ics-and-gingerbread.html
It is installing it but no way to use it.
I'm looking on this article to install the JB on my device.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/09/21/update-xperia-mini-st15i-st15a-android-411-jelly-bean-cm10-custom-firmware/
Now I want to know how can I use CWM to use make a recovery of stock ROM and use custom ROM, also how can I go back to stock ROM if custom ROM doesn't work.

Try downloading xparts/xperia parts from playstore and install it. Hope your device is rooted when you try it
Btw for cyanogenmod you have to unlock the bootloader which voids warranty. If you want to unlock look in my signature there's a guide!

I have already tried xparts but it also say that its not compatible with my device while I have rooted my phone already.
Check the command prompt log. is it saying successful installation?if then pressing the correct key after sony logo appears on start-up will put it on the CWM

First of all,download the stock firmware from here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0 (For security,if anytime,anything goes wrong..you can revert back to your stock)
Flashtool for flashing custom rom and kernel: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1350887833000
You can flash a custom kernel with CWM. I am using kernel Panic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861905
Firmware Flashing tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
You have to unlock bootloader for flashing custom kernel.I think for flshing JB,sooner or later,you have to flash custom kernel anyway.Decide about unlocking bootloader.Searc google for "Official bootloader unlocking method"
Note: Installed CWM sometimes doesn't work if your phone gets stuck at sony logo after flashing custom roms.But custom kernel's CWM stays allways active.So,it is better.Just take a backup before flashing custom rom

But why should he unlock bootloader if he only wants to install cwm?
@OP: Please make some screenshots of the installation progress in cmd and in the app. This error message could maybe help us :good:
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227 it should work with locked bl too
then you need to reboot your phone and try to press volume down for multiple times when kernel logo (sony) appears
Hello there,
I have recently attempted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia U . I rooted using bin4ry , then unlocked bootloader. Everything was fine up to that point. Then I tried to use RecoverX to install CWM. The tool said it was a success, but device could not boot into recovery.It looked like the tool did nothing. I then found a custom kernel by AOKP that had CWM Recovery in it. I flashed and got recovery , but stuck in bootloop. I recovered from this by flashing B.10 stock firmware on my Xperia U using flashtools. I am now looking for ways to install CWM recovery safely.
What's the best way to install CWM in my current situation?
What caused the bootloop I experienced(out of curiosity)?

AOKP is not stock rom..
so its kernel is also not based n stok rom...thats why you got bootloop...
just download kernel which is based on sock rom like trancsend kernek...or phantom...
if you have jb then experimenatal kernel will be best....
and use flashtool to flash kernel...it is the easiest way to flash kernel..
all this kernels are prerooted and has cwm 6.x.x recovery.....
you will get this kernels in devlopment section....
Thank you!
Got it working!
I started off by installing transcendence kernel for stock ROMs. That went flawlessly and so I was presented with CWM recovery(which I started by repeatedly pressing Vol- when the transcendence logo comes up). Went to look for a ROM and found MIUI v4 for Xperia U, followed the instructions and flashed with CWM recovery.Very beautiful ROM. I got all my files from the Xperia U Development section.
Thanks for your help and a big thank you to the developers who make this possible. highfive:

Most kernels nowadays have light notification or vibration or borh for the time you need to press the volume button for cwn, if yours does you only need to press it once within 3 seconds.
Hi All,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting. I did loads of reading and thought that I would give rooting a go on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra. After rooting, and doing dual boot install I downloaded Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 and Gapps. Booted into recovery and flashed the two zip files. After booting up the rom, it keeps crashing and giving a systemui fail / crash message. So I cannot do anything with the rom because the message comes up a second after I close it.
Not only that, there is now no custom recovery on my phone. Has anyone else been in this situation or can anyone please let me know what I can do to either flash a custom recovery?
I have also tried connecting my phone to the Flashtool to flash the stock rom, however as soon as I connect my phone to my pc it boots the system up and doesnt allow me to go into flash / fastboot mode.
Please help!
Thanks,
RJ
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!

Recovery should be included in the ROM (I've not flashed it though to test)
press the vol. up key just after booting when the LED turns purple should do the trick.
Do you want to load another custom ROM [1] or go back to Stock Sony [2]?
[1] Download custom ROM, flash boot.img in fastboot, flash ROM from recovery with wipes
[2] Download a FTF and flashtool (http://flashtool.net), flash FTF - fully clean Sony system again

Can you clarify what you mean by "doing dual boot install", are you referring to the multirom mod or something else.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Because I see no mention of that and when I flashed scrubbers port of kitkat via twrp it bricked my ultra and I had to buy a new one.......

You wiped system so yes of course you are stuck on the sony logo. You need to flash a rom to have a system to boot to.
Download any rom and boot to recovery and plug-in your usb cable to mount mtp storage and push the .zip file. Remove the cable and flash the rom.
Example of rom

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-xperia-z-ultra-pre-rooted-firmware-t3149504
or flash an .ftf stock rom if you want full stock rom
Yeah just flashtool ftf it happens to me.
thank you super user. i'll try to flash.
my phone won't boot recovery mode. how to boot recovery?
thanks lot.
