hi all,
i am very big trouble.....
i had stock rom installed on my x10i.....after reading a lot about ThGo2 v17.0 rom i decided to install it (not the first rom i installed).....
after following all the steps i.e
1. flashing the th_kernel provided
2. booting to xrecovery and installing the custom rom provided and addons....
the phone did start but was very laggy so i decided to shift to stock kernel and flashed it using flashtool but the flashtool got stuck at 2% and said aborting flash...
so i disconnected the phone and now i am not able to flash any firmware or kernel
plz help as soons as possible
update...
just found out that thGo2 rom made my device xperia arc aka i was in the about phone setting in my rom and found that the phone is not listed as x10i as it should be... it is listed as s0-01c aka xperia arc

Cant you enter into flashmode????
Question
Need More details:
1)Locked or Unlocked Bootloader?
2)Which stock kernel you flashed? Downloaded from?
3)[If Locked Bootloader] Can you enter xrecovery? If can, make full wipe, clear cache partition, install new ROM via "install custom zip from SDcard.
4)[If Unlocked Bootloader] Try flash some custom Kernel for Unlocked bootloader like DooMKernel, see whether it reach recovery mode or not.
Sincerely,
whitefang
If can, pls kindly hit thanks button as an appreciation
YES

[How-To] Running FXP, FXP Miui & Miui Prime on Locked BL (xRecovery / Free Kernel)
Following my FXP Port, I'm expanding the idea so that more people can enjoy these excellent roms on locked bootloader as well.
I have tested the method to work fine on FXP046, Oodie Miui Prime 004 and FXP Miui 1.4. It should work on subsequent builds unless there are major changes by the rom developer. It may work on other roms that are FXP based (but I have not tested)
Credits:
1. Z & J, Doomlord & azuzu - for too many things to mention
2. FXP, Oodie, Crowds - for the excellent roms
3. Tkymgr aka Goro - for the kernel I use as base.
4. Me - for putting these together
Instructions:
1. Do a backup before you proceed.
2. Download LockedBL.zip and copy it to SD Card: http://www.multiupload.com/1FI3RBPCOF
You need to install my modded kernel that comes with CWM5 first
- do steps 3 & 4 if your current rom is running on stock kernel or standard custom kernels
- skip steps 3 & 4 if you are currently running my Miui or FXP Port
3. Download CWM5.zip here: http://www.multiupload.com/9C0LAWAVJW
4. Flash it with xRecovery
5. Reboot and press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears, you should get into CWM5
6. Install the rom (FXP, FXP Miui or Miui Prime)
7. Install LockedBL.zip
8. Reboot and enjoy the rom
The rom will run on my modded Free Kernel 4.05.4 and support dual recoveries.
- To get into xRecovery, press [Back] key when SE logo appears
- To get into CWM5, press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears
thanks man,
now,we can play more

Depend on which one you use. Original one use cwm5. I'll usually convert it to xRec version.

After flashing this kernel my neo v gets rooted on .62 stock ROM ....

Root privileges are integrated in this kernel.So you will not stay rooted almost for sure, if you flash another kernel which is not prerooted...

You will be able to update normally to ICS using PC companion, but to be ablolutely sure, you better relock your bootloader before the update...
@bbooff: few days ago I flashed ICS beta from sony page, and I used your kernel for hot boot just so I can install zip with superuser stuff.
Today I flashed stock .62fw, and wanted to hot boot with your kernel, but no luck, I needed to flash it in order to boot into CWM.
You got any idea why id did cooperate on ICS and not on clean .62
Also I couldn't do factory reset while I was using your kernel. I guess that is kinda normal as it's not stock kernel, but still I thought it should work

I have no idea!
The opposite is what should had happened.
I think that if you reinstall 0.62 (using flashtool and not wotan) and then my kernel, everything will be o.k.
If you install a custom kernel, you can do a factory reset through the cwm menu.

Actually I did used flashtool.
After I flash your kernel I can enter cwm. problem is if I try hot boot it.
and about factory reset, I know we can do it via recovery, but is it normal that we can't do it from phone?

fastboot boot boot.img
it allows you to boot with kernel without flashing it.
your kernel is very good.... simple and easy... helped me restore my phone back...
But now i am facing one more problem...
whenever I try to install any other kernel through fastboot, that kernel does not work; instead your kernel starts booting up...
Can you please throw some light on it?

Just download compatible night elf or other kernel. Flash it in fastboot and reboot.
There is nothing wrong with ROM no need to keep wiping it.
I'm not sure which kernel my neo is having as i have tried various things in last one month. How do i find it out (Sorry i'm a beginner here)

Generally it is in about phone in settings but as you are not able to load up any ROM i suggest just flash one to make sure you are on right kernel.

hi ankurvij,
by which method you root your neo v if it is DoomLoRD's toolkit then it roots your phone with locked bootloader
to my knowledge Team Xperia SE.TWEAKED V1 is for unlocked bootloader only correct me if i'm wrong
you won't install custom ROM but can install Stock ROM
i've tried the same thing after rooting DoomLoRD's toolkit same error as yours
now on stock firmware from emannxperia with some tweaks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544273
I had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open
Yes, i used DoomLoRD's toolkit .. i will give a try to ICS Now

Dude, you have indeed provided very less info. Looks like you have soft-bricked your phone. This same thing had happened to me few days back. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Some roms need unlocked bootloaders like sense port rom... Xperia hd I am guessing as ultimate hd rom...it doesn't need unlocked bl... make sure you follow all steps like wiping etc... for roms like sense port or cyanogen you will need to unlock bl...

I believe, the ROMS you flashed were Stock kernel based and hence it worked.
To try different custom ROMS which are based on custom kernels, u need a unlocked BOOTLOADER.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms based on custom kernels.

Dude plz tell me the steps for installing unofficial roms. And tell me why it goes to bricked and 1 more thing that i installed official rom ics 4.0.4 through flash tool
Unlock with testpoint if you do not want to break your DRM: androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
Then download Flashtool (Google, it is first link). Put custom rom zip anywhere on sd card. Extract boot.img from zip and put it on desktop or anywhere on hdd. Download gapps 20121011 from goo.im. Connect phone in fastboot mode (hold right menu key while plugging USB and led should be blue). Press lighting button and select fastboot mode. Flash kernel (browse to boot.img). Reboot phone and keep pressing volume down until recovery mode shows up. Do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache). Then select install zip from file. Install ROM and then gapps then reboot. Some ROMs may require reboot again in recovery before installing gapps. First boot can take a while so be patient. If you still don't get it, read pinned topics, for some ROMs there is also quick tip how to do install. Good luck.

Sam,
You need unlocked BL for flashing custom ROMs. Its obvious you also should have ROOT and CWM installed(I believe you do have these already )
1)Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader( IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED) if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms which are based on custom kernels.
2) If BL status is YES --> Try to unlock it.. 2 ways are there
1.Sony Official method CLICK HERE (You lose DRM values, warrenty is VOID)--> i unlocked my mobile officially
2.Unofficial TEST point method (Nothing to lose, but manual work needed) --> my mobile dint support this way since it was manufactured in 12w15 and official unlock is only way.
LINK TO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK THREAD I strongly recommend you to read the Bootloader thread first to understand what it is actually.
after unlocking by the any of the ways, you can flash ROMS and kernels of your wish..

Of course. You didn't read my post, did you? Kernel (usually named boot.img) is in zip of every custom rom. I described you how to flash kernel with Flash Tool. It is not the same procedure as on Galaxy phone where all work can be done from cwm. You should see e.g. FreeXperia logo if you have flashed CyanogenMod and appropiate kernel.

If all done like root boot unlock etc.. Yu can install any room that is developed for yur phne..
Steps:
First, Install kernel of the Rom(boot.img) from the custom Rom zip (extract boot.img to yur pc) thrugh fastbootmode using flash tool.
Then boot, and try entering CMW mode and flash corresponding Rom..
Also make sure u clear the cache and things that have been told in the Rom installion procedure.

Hello
I am a newbie Android user though I flashed Real ICS r6 and Extended Stock kernel a few months back. The ROM is great, the kernel works fine. But I wanted to Overclock and use Swap File which isn't enabled in extended stock so, I wanted to install MESA which is compatible with Real ICS as well as my phone. But I have no idea how to flash a NEW kernel.
If I flash a new kernel does my ROM get erased too?
I need a detailed step by step tutorial about flashing MESA and replacing Extended Stock with it, without removing Real ICS r6. Any help is appreciated guys. Also, please take note that I cannot brick the phone as I won't get a new one for years if that happens.
Thank you in advance.
AW: [SE Live with Walkman] Installing MESA Kernel over Extended Stock Kernel
No it won't erase the ROM
See my "how to install a custom kernel/rom", there you can see how to flash the boot.img using flashtool
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
The steps is so easy,
1-Download the kernel, extcract if it is a zip file
2-Get boot.img
3-And put it in your fastboot folder
4-Open cmd and navigate to fastboot folder,
Or simply click on start search for cmd and drag it in fastboot folder then open it
5-shutdown your phone
6-hold on volume up and connect the usb from the phone to pc
7-it will ask you for drivers ( skip if you already done so)
8- in cmd run the following commands
Fastboot devices
Fastboot flash boot directorytoboot boot.img
Replace directorytoboot with actual directory
It will not earse your rom.
And btw xperia 2011 is hard to be bricked

Thank you to the both of you, I have successfully flashed MESA 3.2 on my Live with Walkman. So far so good.
Try MESA Hybrid v3.6 kernel. It's better. Flash kernel via Fastboot and then flash mesa-hybrid-stock.zip via CWM.
only recovery and mesa kernel
live with walkman
i am only left with mesa kernel and its recovery..
i accidently wiped system while trying to install real ics ir6 yesterday..
