Dont panic.
First install a new kernel image, like Suave Kernel Suave Kernel
This will install also a CWM. After, install a new ROM in CWM.
I´m using Pureness, but requires a different kernel than Suave. But you can follow the instructions of Suave Kernel:
Steps:
1. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
2. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
3. flash boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
Before install a new rom, be sure to wipe all information in cache, dalvik and system partitions, as in the instructions (from Pureness):
1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Format /system (in mounts and storage)
5.Format /cache
6.Format /Data
7.Install rom zip
8.Reboot now and you are done !

1. Always flash kernels before installing custom roms
2.always wipe phone completely (cache,dalvik,data...)
3. Not all kernels are compatible with all roms, so read each dev post carefully,and then flash corresponding kernels.

^as he said, first wipe all the kinds of data's before installing any new ROM & remember to take backup always.

thanx everebody for support ..
i did not flash a kernel .. so this is the problem as i've understood ...
i've entered to cwm by hotboot method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681940
and flashed jj hybrid rom ... and it worked with the stock kernel ...
so next time if i want to flash a custom rom i have to flash a compatible kernel first ..
thanx again ..

[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

I used SEUS to install stock rom . Now its working but all apps are gone.
so i can install any custom rom? Also did this happen because i didnt wipe dalvik cache bfore installing the rom.

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

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!

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!

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.

Sola stuck at Sony boot logo
Hi,
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!
I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.
1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.
2. Enter CWM
3. Make a full wipe:
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. format /data (advanced)
8. format /dache (advanced)
9. format /system (advanced)
-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.
I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime. It would be very kind if you could help me in getting the phone to work as normal.

Hi everydoby.
I actually use CM 10 but there are some lags and intempestive reboot. So i want to test another ROM. I tried Ultimate HD few month ago, and now i want to test it again, with it new features.
I tried a lot of different kernel (flykernel, lupus, xkernel, Alliance kernel ....) but i always have a black screen after boot or boot animation of the kernel (Sony logo for example) doesnt exist (black sceen and violet LED).
Maybe, its because i use wrong kernel. So, can you please link me a good kernel I can use?
Actually, my NEO (MT15I) is:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: ............. 203028G-77
Core Version: 2.6.32.9-FXP

Going back to stock based ROMs requires flashing stock ftf first.
And then flashing the respective kernel and then the ROM.
say no to Drugs and ICS!

No need dude just flash kernel and Rom.. Flashing ftf only required when you are facing difficulties
thx dudes for replyes.
I flashed 4.1.B.0.587 firware. Then i flashed kernel (lupus, flykernel or else) then i use recovery to flash the rom.
But i always have black screen (no logo on kernel, LED becomes violet) or boot loop (depend of kernel). This is why i want someone to tell me which kernel is sure to work with this rom, please.
I dont know if you understand what i need, i'm sorry for my bad english.

Yes i did. I did factory reset + wipe cache partition + wipe dalvik cache + wipe battery stat + format /system + /format and 2 others (i dont remember their title). I do that before after flashing kernel and before flashing ROM. Then, once ROM is installed, i do it again.

What do u mean by once rom is installed I do it again?
Mate the thing is after wiping and installing rom you jst have to install patch(if it exist-rom specific) and reboot. Why wipe everything again?

Flash any ics kernel.
And the problem is perform all wipes then install rom and chose ur choices in aroma and reboot. No need to wipe anything after installation.

can you please link me a kernel i should flash please ?
I tried to search with key word "ICS kernel" on XDA NEO forum, i tried to flash them but i didn't work.
I'm actually on CM10 (JB 4.1). I can flash kernel and then ROM or it's better come back on ICS 4.0.4 before, flashing the ftf ?

Lupus didn't work. No boot animation of the kernel. Phone's LED turned blue and the phone vibrate twice.
I tried Radeon V4. I can see Sony logo but its a boot loop. The phone's LED turned blue too and vibrate twice.
In recovery , i did:
- factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stat
- format /system
- format /cache
- format /data.
I don't know what to do. I think i'll turn back to CM 10
----------------
Well, i tried almost 5 different kernels but none works. There are boot loops or juste black screen.
I will turn back CM 10.
Thank you dude and sorry for your waste of time

Going by this, your steps seem alright to me!!
Try flashing stock ftf and then try this procedure on the stock kernel
Only thing I hope is you're not hotbooting your kernel or are you??

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
if any further query, let me know
Happy Flashing

Having another problem ..

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

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:
