[Q] Xperia Mini Sk15i Perplexing problem flashing ROM - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

So I have an Xperia Mini, the phone is rooted, bootloader is unlocked and CWM recovery is installed.
I booted into recovery and followed the steps outlined to flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
I can't think what I've done wrong but the phone is now frozen on the 'Sony Ericisson' screen.
I know how to get it back to stock but anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong in the flash process? I've tried twice now, with same result.
Thanks in advance.

Did you install the correct kernel for your phone?

Ok so I didn't. That's necessary? It won't work on stock kernel?
Will it work if I flash the kernel after the firmware?

Yes you have to flash the correct kernel. It's necessary.
If you already flashed the Rom via cwm, than only flash the kernel for your phone and it should boot. If not, then install the rom again.
Good luck.

Dude, did you read carefully where it says not to install on a mini or active with locked bootloaders yet because it needs to be tested? And your phone is an St15i not Sk15i
Edit: I see it's unlocked lol, my bad, but you need to install the correct kernel for that to work

If you flash it before the kernel gets overriten (I think)

Yep, but flashing it through ODIN is still the best. I would recommend it if you can go to your PC.

Yes.
I would try a fresh install, maybe you forgot something. Make a wipe and try a clean install again. Maybe bad download

Yes great idea . But i cant do anything. No connection my pc because it says installing dr- unplugged.
You have to go into hboot. It could be tricky ton time this. I am sure you flashed
wrong kernel.

Seems like i fixed it i ran OXP_FLASH_KERNEL and it worked...
But i still wonder why it didnt work, it said put the boot.img in and i did.
You have to set the right path using venom flasher. The default kernel is sense and that would cause boot loop.

For MIUI you need the kernel that has been asked by the OP. definitely not the stock kernel!
It is a modified CM10 kernel, if you are talking about the WIP ROM by Notorious in the general forum that is..

First instalation of Miui on a stock Rom

Hi everyone, I want to install the newest German version of Miui on my stock device.
I have download the newest version and Odin on my computer. I know I must flash a kernel that have cwm. But I don't know which kernel I have to take. On the Miui site the guide says, tags I have to download I9300_tools.zip. There must be the file: GT-I9300_TGY_I9300XXLEF.tar that I have to flash with Odin. Can anyone please tell me where I can get this file.
I am on Android 4.2.2

you don't need a kernel to flash CWM! it is separate tar file that you need to flash via odin! and more over, to flash a custom rom, you need to have the latest recovery(CWM touch or Philz touch). download the zip file and flash it through CWM recovery. you really need to go through the basics! don't brick your phone! goodluck
I have only experience by flashing galaxy s1. So I need to know, what I have to do step by step to get Miui on my phone.
