This is because you're commanding it to flash it on the zip partition, which does Not exist. Like for kernel you type Fastboot flash Boot xxxxx where the kernel is flashed to the boot partition. The command you're using is wrong. What does the zip contain?

you cant flash zip file on fastboot.. extract the zip file first. you will get file 'boot.img'. place this file in the fastboot folder, then run command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
anyway there is v2 cwm file.. download that..

Please post in appropriate section.

Flash in recovery. You need Amon Ra installed or any other recovery like TWRP or CWM. Boot into recovery and choose zip from SD.

now the phone gets stuck in the
white screen
with the words
htc one
p.d.
my ROM is BAMF-33112-RELEASE-KEYS.zip
don't flash gsmfix.zip there. that is only for sense 4 ROM developed by Joel.
On the same page of download link you can find stockgsmfix.zip, try to flash that as bamf-33112-release-keys.zip is based on sense 3.6. hope this helps you!

It should work. anyway you are running BAMF sense 3.6 ROM right?
IF that is the case , do clean wipe, flash ROM again, change below values in /system/build.prop file using any editor and reboot once( better do factory reset )
ro.config.lte=false
ro.telephony.default_network=3

I made those changes inside the BAMF-33112-RELEASE-KEYS.zip file and save it
I did the steps and the same, gets stuck after reboot
in the white htc screen.
were you able to boot atleast once? if you are s-on you need extract boot.img (kernel) and need to flash it via fastboot usb ( fastboot flash boot boot.img)
below are steps
- extract boot.img from your downloaded zip file
- place it in android-sdk/platform tools folder- you will have fastboot executable there ( need to have android sdk and HTC driver installed on your pc)
- open command prompt ( right click on cmd -> run ad admin) and navigate to platform-tools folder
- reboot your phone to booltloader and select fastboot
- run command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
- reboot the phone
If a flashable boot,img is provided in BAMF thread you can just flash it via bootloader

the issue is with the STOCKGSMFIX.zip, it seems doesn't work with
BAMF-33112-RELEASE-KEYS ROM
dont flash that. just change the build.prop values and flash ROM and boot.img. that should be good enough!

Nope, flash through fastboot mode. Copy .img file to fastboot folder and open cmd there, then type : fastboot flash boot boot.img ( boot.img is the name of .img file )
Kernel on the latest CM rom (137) is provided in .zip file. Remember that this kernel (boot.img) is flashed last, after wiping & installing Rom successfully

[Q] Xperia U CWM status 7 - installation aborted

Hello! I just rooted my xperia u today and now I'm trying to flash a custom ROM. The problem
is that I keep getting error/status 7 in cwm when trying to do this. I have searched around,
but can't find a solution. Any help appreciated!
Info:
Xperia U ST25i
Stock kernel
Stock ICS 4.0.4
CWM 5
Fixed it by following this:
1) Extract the contents you will get 3 things in it .... boot.img (file) , system(folder) , meta-inf (folder)
2) Leaving the boot.img out repack the other two folders (system,meta-inf)
3) fastboot the boot.img file via fastboot by this command "fast boot flash boot boot.img" without quotes
4) then place the new packed zip file
The one without the boot image
5) try flashing it
6) factory reset and wipe delvik cache and reboot
step 2?

Hi, i'm what you call a noob and I could really use your help.
Could you explain to me what you mean by step 2 'repacking the other two folders (system,meta-inf)'? And do I put all the files in the fastboot folder?
Thanks a lot!!

I flashed the kernel via the cmd promt fastboot flash boot boot.img. The device is rooted and bootloader is unlocked.
But when i reboot the phone into recovery mode it doesn't get the FXP screen it just gets the sony logo.
Then when i try to instal from zip I get status 7. I placed the gapps and cm zip files on the sd card.
What am i doing wrong?
I really appreciate the help:good:

Watch this video (start watching at 8:05).
youtube.com/watch?v=O52IeX93Jek
In this video, he is showing how to flash cm9, but you can also use other custom roms.
What software are you trying to flash?
@Buddha's belly
Have you flashed the kernel that's in the ROM zip?
And you can look at the log to see what exactly fails.

For the unlock link. I pulled that app off the realmebbs from China. I've used it to unlock the CN version and someone else reported that it worked on the non-CN version.
Not sure about the TWRP, I'll probably give it a test now that my BL is unlocked.

Did you flash it? I tried using the fastboot boot command just to boot the img file but I kept getting FAILED unknown command error.
