[Q] unlocked bootloader + custom kernel, flash custom rom success.. but stuck - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

hello..
i've search thru the forum, and my prob is somehow differ than others..
already unlocked bootloader.. apply custom kernel successfully..
step i do to flash rom:
- backup in CWM
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
still stuck at sony logo.. wait around 1 hour.. nothing happened...
then i remove battery, try to boot into cwm..
success..
but the cwm background pic changed with wording "CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7 Full (by DooMLoRD)".. not like before.. and i restored back..
the ROM i tried is Pureness build 3 and jjHybrid 3.1.. both give same problem..
check screenshot of my system below.. is there's any problem with my system?
or it is related to odex?
so.. got any idea or possible solution?
or my phone problem itself?
thx in advance...

try other kernel...
1. Pureness build 3 ,Kernel :Night Elfs ICS Kernel mod
2. jjHybrid 3.1,Kernel Use any of Following
a) STOCK Kernel (No OverClocking)
b) shardul_seth Kernel
c) Night-Elf Kernel
d) Adridu kernel
look at specific thread,you will find the answer.

I see that you are not wiping/formatting your data.. Wiping data is essential when installing a custom ROMs or switching ROMs..
Before wiping cache, format your data first!

it is not enough to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stat etc? becoz i already done all that through CWM.
and a noob question, how to properly format the data? phone data or sdcard data?

The data has to be wiped when you install a custom ROM.. Since some of the data can cause troubles to the new ROM you have installed..
I advice you to do the following when installing a ROM.. Follow step by step..
- Flash the kernel first
- Boot into CWM mode by pressing 'volume down'
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- install custom zip from sd card i.e your custom ROM zip file
- reboot now
there you go now!
PS. Data formatting has to be done in CWM mode and it will not erase your sd data! So relax!
Also, press 'Thanks' if I helped you!
CHEERS!

I flashed everything on one go and all were just fine to work!
Please tell me your exact process of doing all this?

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.
must i tell this in every reply?
this is the exact step doing all of this..
flash kernel via fastboot thru command prompt window..
and flash rom thru cwm with this step..
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe data/factory reset,cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]
- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)
- reboot into system
and chill bro. i have problem here, and i ask about it because i dont know what to do.
and fastboot folder must placed in android-sdk folders or it is not necessary?

Are you sure the kernels are compatible with the custom ROM you are using? Usually the developer suggests some ROMs. Also, you might need a different baseband for the kernels you are using. Which ROM are you using? Some have extra steps you have to perform.

Only boot.img has to be placed in android sdk folder.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app

Sorry I'm not awake today. Boot.img must be in android sdk and only the fastboot.exe file. I doubt it's got anything to do with that though, if you can successfully flash kernels.

HEY EVEN I HAD THE SAME SAME PROBLEM BEFORE...its was that i followed all the steps n still was stuck at bootlogo
even if i tried to go to recovery n flash the rom again , it simply said CANNOT MOUNT SD CARD.
So I tried to format my sd card using SDFORMATTER 3.1 and flashed the om again and :laugh: it WORKED
SO BASICALLY TRY TO FORMAT THE SD CARD USING SD FORMATTER software and not the windows default one.
IT WORKED FOR ME AND HOPE IT WILL FOR YOU ALSO
SD CARD FORMATTER 3.1 link google it

hey guys... really need help here...
i just successful UNLOCKED Bootloader,CWM and install custom kernel..
After fastboot the custom kernel (suave) then enter the CWM to flash custom ROM(Xperia_Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_6.00_NeoV)... wipe all data and other common step.. then i reboot the system
My phone get boot loop after that. So i remove the battery then enter the CWM again.. but the colour change to red and detect my phone as "xperia ARC".. plzzz.. i really stuck here

[Q] Total noob, stuck at Sony logo after flashing ROM

Hey, I hope I can get some help here. I'm a total noob and I don't know if other similar threads apply to me. Anyway, I have a rooted Xperia Neo V, with ICS 4.0.3 and I used ROM Manager app to casually flash the "Xperia Pureness" ROM I downloaded. I didn't do a full wipe because I was too stupid to look at the instructions. Is this fixable?

Thank you. At some point the instructions require that I enter *#06# on my phone but I can't boot, it gets stuck at the Sony logo. Is this step necessary?
as can be interpreted u have a unlocked bootloader( i guess that's right)
you can try to use Sony Ericssion Update service to restore your phone to ICS

Ya ..you can install custom ROMS now i hope u hv boot loader unlocked ..head over to the Neov development section and download the ROM you want ..Follow the instructions really carefully while installing ROMS
And the answer of your second question is NO. When installing stock ROM or repairing it all apps and setting are gone nothing to do with wipe dalvik cache
Problem persists
So i tried installing pureness once more, this time i made sure i wiped davik cache. Same problem stuck at SONY and so had to revert to stock once more. I havent unlocked BL yet. Is it necessary for installing Pureness. Also can somebody tell me if i am doing it right.
1) used flash tool to downgrade to .562
2)rooted using Doomlords tool
3)Used flash tool to upgrade back to .431
4)Installed cwm auto installer apk from google play
5)Installed cwm
6)Booted into recovery
7)Made a backup
8)Used install from zip option to install Pureness
9) reboot and its stuck
Cant even access cwm since its stuck at that point , so i cant use the backup also right.
First, flash a specific kernel for that ROM.. Look for the link for kernels in the above post!
Flash the kernel first.. Reboot into recovery... Wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache... And then install zip from sd card!
Reboot your phone! You'll be done now!
flashing kernel
I am guessing for flashing the kernel , i have to unlock bootloader.
You didn't unlock your bootloader?!
You definitely can't flash a custom kernel without unlocking it!
I suggest you go with the official Sony's way..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
BL
but that will void my warranty right and i will no longer be able to use SEUS for reveting to stock.
Yea.. That would void your warranty!
But unlocking the bootloader will allow to install custom ROMs which shall be very fast and smooth as compared to the stock one... and I don't think you'll revert back to stock!
Though relocking can be done but you won't be able to update your phone through over the air updates!
It's your choice!
1. Unlock bootloader using sony's,
Method
2. Flash the custom kernel
3. Get into CWM
4.wipe delvic/data/battery stat
5. Install custom rom
6. Install gapps(if necessary)
7.wipe delvic
8. Reboot
That are common steps
Also use the recommended kernel by the developer
Also follow his instruction...if in doubt serch if still confused post here

Have a fresh install of Stock ROM .50 first (via flashtool), to sort things out. Then flash via fastboot XSX Kernel (v5, this is my current Kernel) by Mericon, or XSspeed Kernel v6 by Krabapel, to easily gain CWM. Reboot your phone, then when logo appears (they have different logos), press volume up once, you will enter in CWM. Before flashing, Then you can flash XTXperience ROM. After Flashing ROM wipe Dalvik Cache.

I had the same problem, you need to make sure you go into mounts and storage menu in cwm before you flash the rom, and format system, maybe data also.
Hit thanks if I helped.

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

[Q] How to install this rom? xD

Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,
Regards,
AJ
I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.

Okay so here's a solution
1. Download flashtool first from here
2. Download ICS stock ftf from here
3. Now flash the ftf to your phone in FlashMode, when connected to PC

seems like if we don't create new thread, no one's going to notice !!!! :'(
HELP needed here ! please .!
Download the rom again and transfer it to your phone. Flash the kernel from inside the rom.zip, then flash the rom after performing wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

No, you have to flash it using cwm
Could it be you wiped /system before flashing? Because you shouldn't do that!

what i did -
wiped data/ factory reset

The kernel is the boot.img inside the zip. If you want to know how to flash it, check my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel
And you could do the following:
1. Open the zip
2. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/
3. Open the updater-script using notepad ++
4. Delete the first 3 lines saying "assert getprop"
5. Save it and repack the zip
6. Flash it
Maybe it works then! :good:

did exactly what was described to your link to flash the kernel ..
it was successful.. but my phone is stuck to the Logo when am trying to turn it on ..
another problem is, in CWM menu the back key (power button) isn't working at all ..
what should i do next?
have attached the error screen.
Then flash a another kernal ,stuck on the logo happens coz the flashed kernal didnt support very well for ur android version.

Flash the stock rom in flashmode using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, use the search
