[Q] Reboot problem, rooted phone with two installed apps by cwm :/ - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi all!
(Well, I have to start with that I'm hungarian so sorry for my english.)
I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this problem in other threads but i didnt find any. So my problem is that I rooted my phone with changing kernel (neoV 4.0.3) after that rooting and after rooting upgrading the latest mini pro kernel in my phone (4.1.B.0.587).
There was no problem i have managed to root my phone. After that i downloaded the cwm auto installer app from play and installed cwm. After that i installed two apps with cwm, exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705352&highlight=root
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695048
After these steps i realised that my girlfriend wanted to call me but it was a missed call so i tried to call her back. And HERE IS THE PROBLEM: when i touch on the button with the green phone icon before starting to call anyone my phone collapsed and reboots itself.
Well i dont know if the problem comes from the root (maybe i did something wrong but got good result) or from the 2 apps installed with cwm and there i made some mistakes :/ well i dont know i think i did everything well but as i said i really dont know what the problem is.
Please help me!! Thank you in advance

Post the links of those two apps properly... Unable to click them directly
And as you said your phone is NEO V or Mini Pro
then why did you upload the "neo v" "latest mini pro kernel" :what::sly::banghead:
Specify your phone and kernel properly or upload a screenshot
And if you have you have installed mini pro kernel in neo V or vice versa
Then flash stock firmware via flashtool

I have mini pro(sk17i), but as you know mini pros dont have 4.0.3 kernel and rom cause the first ics was the 4.0.4 so i just chose a random 4.0.3 kernel (neov) and rooted that one and after the root i put the original sk17i kernel 4.1.B.0.587 back. and after that i got root permissions in my 4.0.4 ics phone with its official latest kernel. Thats all. I just followed the steps to root. and now you can see the apps' urls

Another bad news: when i plugged in my phone to raise the battery's levél the phone rebooted again

I think you installed an inappropriate kernel for your device...
Download the stock firmware for your device... Flash it via Flashtool
Then again unlock your bootloader
And this time install any supported kernel like Kamarush v3 or Kernel Panic... I mean any prerooted kernel... And after you get root access just switch to latest firmware... And .587 is whole new stock firmware Not kernel...

U don't necessarily have to install the neo v firmware
u can install GB, root it and then upgrade to .587 with the rooting method you followed

Well, I managed to root my phone and now i can call anyone without reboot but i havent installed those 2 apps yet. im afraid of having this problem because of those apps :/
but i also havent tried to install that app which you Predator offered me :/ im afraid of having another problem :/ and i also dont know if my phone (sk17i) is capable of running walkman player app or such as walkman player :/ pls correct me if im right or not

Hmmmmm.....
1.flash stock firmware into your XMP...
2.unlock the bootloader...
3.flash any custom kernel that have pre-rooted and CWM....
4.problem solved....
Btw, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't flashing other kernel (neo v in your case) is proof that your phone bootloader is already unlock????

My bootloader is not unlocked because im having a vodafone phone so not an unlocked phone :/ And i heard that unlocking a locked phone is very difficult and dangerous :/ ....

[Q] Help me the Custom rom don't work on my Neo.

I have my Neo from a few months and I'm so proud of it. But, in the lasts week, I'm excited to receive the ICS update, so I can't wait and I tried to flash some custom rom on my NEO. First of all I have the .42 firmware stock with root and CWM installed with bootloader locked.
Before i tried to flash a custom Rom, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything going well, but I try to flash 2 different Custom Rom both with the same result: in the reboot after the flash the NEo is stucked on the Sony Ericsson boot logo animation for an indefinite time, and i don't do nothing except to unplug the battery. So i return to the stock rom using flashtool.
But I really want to tried this custom rom based on ICS, anyone can hellp me?

i think the problem is causing because ur r flashing ICS custom rom directly on GB... flash stock ICS ftf file using flashtool, flash any custom kernel in fastboot mode using flashtool suitable for the ROM u want to flash (custom kernels has built in CWM), then goto CWM, wipe everything, flash the ROM, done... now that should work..
goto Settings > about phone > baseband to check the baseband's version

[Q] Android 4.0

Hi, i have a Xperia Neo with a 2.3.4 rom. It looks like sony have released the android 4.0 for its devices.
Does the Xperia Neo have this option, it's official? What are the advantages of 4.0 over 2.3.4?
And are all 2.3.4 apps and games compatible with 4.0?
Thanks!

Hi,
If your phone works , you can use these Guides for Rooting, ... etc :

The phone works. The problem is that i can't open falshtool...
So i need root to flash CWM and i need CWM to flash a rooted rom.
The link you posted requires CWM, right? How can i get CWM without root and without flashtool?

I don't think you could have CWM without root. The Link that i post , needs working Flashtool to root and after that you can install CWM.

This tread should be in Q&A not in DEV.
Anyway do U have bootloader unlocked?
That rom is a 2.3 rom and you need to have and unlocked bootloader. You need to have 2.3 on your device first which would you would find in my signature below. So skip through the tread and find 2.3 Download it and flash it and try the rom again.

Dude u r in 2.1 now. It has a baseband of .49 or .54. GB needs a baseband of .71. So the only option is first u download a pre-rooted firmware image and flash it via flashtool. U will boot into GB. Then unlock bootloader using Laser's method and install custom kernel like DoomKernel.
Follow this method
[RECOVERY image] {v2} X10 GB 3.0.1.G.0.75 [Prerooted + Fixed xRecovery] to insatll the prerooted firmware using flashtool.
Unlock bootloader using this steps from
[HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10
Then flash DoomKernel from this link
[KERNEL][X10] DooMKernel [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS]{Rel:v06}[Dt:10/Jan][FW3.0.1.G.0.75] and boot up into stock rom or the previous GB rom u r using.
For Stock based roms, DoomKernel is simply the best.
For CM7 based roms, use FXP 130 kernel provided here FXP 130 and
For CM9 based roms, use FXP 132 kernel for better performance which u can download in FXP CM9 Thread.

thanks to brenty108 for the help
If that rom is in ftf format
Open with 7zip or winrar
Look for kernel.sin
And place it in a folder
In flashtool create kernel
Point it to the folder containing kernel.sin
You should then be able to place your created kernel into firmware folder and flash it
I haven't had much experience with those roms so it's just a suggestion

You need to install a kernel called fxp132 from team fxp for ICS ROM to work... see my other posts in Q&A.. I have uploaded it somewhere.. you should be able to access through my profile->-> posts.

kernel was the E10_nAa-02_2.6.29-nAa-02 before the rom installing process.

You SHOULD have updated the kernel according the instructions in the ROM-threads, which you failed to do. Now I guess you've flashed the x10blrelock.ftf? In that case, your phone needs a JTAG.
yes you right it was x10blrelock.

I think you just need to persevere. I took me about 4 hours to get my Sony Sola to root with the above instructions, really hard work as the phone is nigh on unusable after flashing with 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
First Time I did it every thing seemed to go fine, I selected the backup on the Sola as promoted by Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry and restarted, then re flashed with 6.1.1.B.1.54 but it wasn't rooted.
I did it all again, but for the next few hours the backup restore would not appear on my phone screen, I would just get a black screen and occasionally i would be able to power off (i say occasionally as after flashing with 10, hardly anything works on the phone, and the touch screen never works), other times i had to use the volume done button and power button to re-start the phone, then would have to get it to start up without booting - just going into the charge screen - so i could eventually power it down to re-flash with 54!
Any way after doing the process over, and over again for about 4 hours, i gave up. Tried again the next morning and it worked first time! I didn't even have to select to restore the back up, or power off on the phone, it all seemed to do it for me!
Just keep trying hopefully you will get there.:good:
