Having Problems Installing a ROM? Check this Thread - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello People.. i Joined XDa like 1 or 2 months ago.. i installed some roms and discovered why i get some random bootloops when installing a rom.. (if you done all ok and you get a bootloop follow this steps)
-Wipe Data --> Yes
-Wipe cache --> Yes
*Mounts and Storage* Format System --> Yes
*Advanced* Wipe Dalvik Cache --> Yes
Now Flash the ROM.. if The ROM have a CWM SuperSu Fix in Addons Flash it Without Rebooting! then Reboot.. after you boot to Home... complete Wizard and reboot again (not to CWM)
Now Install CWM (if u have locked bl now u dont have anymore CWM recovery.. so install it using the app called x-parts)
Boot to CWM and install add ons 1 by 1.. (for example.. Lockscreen, then reboot.. then flashlight, reboot.. camera fix, reboot.. etc..)
This way is needed in roms Like HyperBeamNewEra or HyperBeamNewTime (because khemaras told to flash lockscreen after rom and that cause many bootloops! if u check out last comments of NewTime all of them say Bootloops at LWW.. and i tried this way and i got no bootloop at locked bl.)
Hope you enjoyed the Post!

1-This is mi first post
2- sorry for the bad english.. i dont speak it well.. if you didnt understand it well pm me and i will try to explain it better.

I was having problem installing some roms but as i was not formatting the system....thanks for this thread...now they work like charm....pressed thanks

I wouldn't recommend to format system before installing a rom:
1. Formatting system should be defined in the updater-script, so there's no need to do it manually
2. Formatting system can cause a status 7 (?) error, because of a getprop line. It tries to get the device's information, but because of formatting system it can't read the information and you get an error.
I would just format system, if it's necessary according to the thread of the rom :good:

How to update from v 1.0
this is my first post, so yeah im a noob, but just want to ask if i was on Resurrection ics v1.0, how could i update? do i just jump to the most recent update, or is there a certain update i have to flash first before moving on? ive tried to flash the v1.4 but then it would'nt boot, then i restored a backup, tried a couple times even from a fresh stock rom, but still it couldnt boot, what do you think the problem is?
sorry for all the questions
i was on resurrection now i dual boot 1.8 with siyah 3.1.2 with D4 rom( which is amazing btw) try 3.1.2 siyah and see if it works - im avoiding RC's and betas for kernel since the brickings, unless you want the features from rc5
@yugorisfriwan you don't need to install any update, go straight to the last version.
To install
1- full wipe & wipe cache
2- install rom
3- wipe dalvik
4- reboot (it takes time to boot the first time so be patient)
5- install another kernel (siyah of instance) otherwise you are done.
Now to my question
I have the version 1.8.1 and siyah kernel 3.2b8 everything works great except that I cannot access my external sdcard on my computer. I also tried the default and thoravukk kernels but they give the same result.
Thx in advance for your help

hey i am using this remix rom right from the ver 7.4 now on v1.8.1 what i sugesst u first is 2 install v1.7 then u upgrade it 2 the new v1.8.1 by simply flashing it over v1.7 without any wipes that way u wont have any issues in installation
PS: while installing 1.7 u do a full wipe
ie
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache part
wipe dalvik cache
then install v1.7
then again wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Fix permissions
reboot 2 system
boot takes a while?
So how long do i have to wait for the phone to actually boot after updating? So ive flashed the updates, but when i select reboot now, it then comes to the Galaxy s ii i19100 splash screen. Now i have waited for at least 5 minutes, and nothing happened yet, so just restored my backup in fear of something going wrong am i too inpatient or is that just taking to long? how many minutes do i actually have to wait until its a sure flash fail? thx in advance!
5 minutes is too long, are you sure that you have done a full wipe before installing the rom and then wiped the dalvik cache after. The only time when my phone wouldn't boot was when I had forgotten to do the wipes.
anyway just redo the process and make sure you do everything (don't flash any kernels) and just leave the phone for few more minutes than last time. otherwise try to install another version (1.7 for instance) and see if it boots this time
installation problem

hey which rom ur trying 2 install if its v1.7 of remix then first flash the cm9 kernel dwnld'ng the same from OP (original post in page 1 of remix ics thread) section after that reboot 2 cm9 recovery and then flash 1.7 it will be ok
5 minutes are too long mate. before flashing make sure that the current rom you are on has default CM9 kernel (for version 1-1.8)
After that follow the steps:
1.wipe data/factory reset
2.wipe cache partition
3.install main rom
4.go in advance and wipe dalvik cache and then fix permissions
5.wipe cache partition again and reboot
6.after ur first reboot u can then flash kernels,themes,and mods
enjoy
So... if im still on resurrection version 1.0, would installing the stock cm9 kernel work? .... then i could update?
So any workarounds on accessing the external sd on the computer?!!?

This seems to be a bug with the rom. I got the same problem on 1.4 and on 1.8.1. It will only mount the internal mass storage.
To work around this: Mount it with CWM. Works for me.

[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!

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!

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.

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.

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.

My friend,I would like to know the proper steps for this installation.
As mentioned on the Avatar Rom forum page,I installed it right in the same way.I would like to know whether this rom requires any prerequisites like:some roms can be installed only if we are on STOCK Gingerbread(rooted and locked/unlocked) or on STOCK ICS(rooted and locked/unlocked) .Or do i need to install some other version of Cyanogenmod and then boot into recovery(cwm) and install?
You mentioned about flashing kernel for the rom.I flashed the boot.img which is included in the zip.But i got the Freexperia boot animation,and not the avatar bootanimation.Please help in all the above issues i mentioned.And yes,before i forget i would like to tell you that i flashed this boot.img and i got thekernel installed successfully(I think so,because through this bootanimation,i was able to go to cwm).But i got the same errors when i tried to installed this rom.I know that you are more experianced memers,so what you are saying maybe true.But on AVATAR ROM Page,they did not tell to flash kernel.Please help.

hi! so when you install kernel (fxp,nAa,Mesa) it will show their boot animation and that is ok so you can use any of those and more, when you boot into recovery (this will delete all your stuff on internal memory)
-wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, then go to mounts and storage and wipe system, and then advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
-install your rom (if you dont have it on sd card go to mounts and storage and mount and mount usb storage)
-after you installed reboot system
and that should be it, but i went to avatar forum and it is only for mini? can you link it? And did you unlock bootloader?
i hope i helped you

ok my recomendation
GB- rage kernel - xgamer rom + andreno boost (mod) + setcpu make a profile for when the screen is off, set frequency to lowest on both (max freq and min freq.) for longest battery life (2.3.7)
ICS- panic kernel - ultimate hd rom (4.0.4)
JB - mesa kernel - havendroid rom dark demon edition rom (i'm using it for 3 weeks now) + Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru (4.2.2)

Which rom did you try to flash and on which firmware were you on? Also what wipes did you do in CWM?
i tried pureness,windows droid and x-gamer with rage kernel.
and steps followed in cwm is as follows
1. wipe data
2. wipe cache partition
3. dalvic cache
then i installed the zip and rebooted
i also tried the above steps with wipe battery status too

Did you wipe /system also? Its better to select "factory reset" in recovery.
Also try using a different kernel also.

I think Everything will work fine..
Just follow these steps...
In CWM Recovery
Go to Mounts & storage > Wipe cache , wipe data & wipe System
Then Go to Advanced > Wipe Dalvik-cache
and now install your Rom from Sd card
I hope this 'll work..:good:
