Please help!! I have searched all over this forum but i still can't find a solution to my problem
First of all, I'm still new in android modding so please forgive me if I don't have sufficient information regarding this question.
I have an Xperia neo, with the original ICS firmware (4.1.B.0.587), locked bootloader, rooted with this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327
and I use the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509 because my phone won't go to the recovery mode if I use the x-parts CMW package
I have tried installing the Zelly Cream v1.20 custom rom by following the exact instruction for locked bootloader, which is :
Installation instruction for Zelly Cream FULL ROM
Before installing this rom, make sure you have a complete nandroid backup and you
have performed all the necessary steps, otherwise you may get bootloop. I will not be
responsible for any kind of damage or loss to your phone, do this at your own risk. Read
carefully and follow the steps to install the rom.
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvic cache under advanced menu.
5. Wipe battery stats under advanced menu.
6. Format data under mount and storage menu.
7. Format system under mount and storage menu.
8. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
9. Install zip from sd card.
10. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
11. Uncheck "Reboot device" after installation completed and click on next to go
back to CWM.
12. Now reboot your phone..

But my phone keeps rebooting (boot loops) so i had to reinstall the original ICS firmware using this method http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239 . After that i re-rooted my phone, restored my nandroid backup, and tried installing Zally Cream v1.20 again. But I still get boot loops and now I'm getting desperate (so in summary i have bricked/boot looped my phone twice trying to install the Zelly Cream) :silly:
So can anyone please help me??
Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
After flashing stock firmware why did u restored nandroid backup??
Flash stock firmware using flashtool with full wipe
Root it, install cwm
Goto cwm & wipe cache, data, delvik cache, format system, data cache
Now flash the rom
Reboot

I was attempting to flash clockworkmod and I am now stuck in recovery. Attempting to reboot does nothing, I did a factory reset. Applying update.zip just gives me the error in the title of this thread, plus "can't mount update.zip"
I see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204 as a last option but is there anything else I can do? If I remove my sd card and put a new update.zip on it manually, will this fix the problem?
ok a few things first.
1)which CWM did you install?
2)Which Rom are you trying to install?
if you have the rom on your sd card simply factory rest, wipe cache, and dalvik cash......
then without rebooting flash zip from sdcard [navigate to and flash your rom]
then reboot.
you shouldn't need the apply update zip
if that doesn't work odin a stock image and start all over again

I'm not sure which version, the file only says "cwmrecovery.tar"
I'm trying to install CyanogenMod 7.1
Can you explain a little more regarding wiping cache and dalvik cache, and also how to flash the rom without using any application. I only have access to "reboot system now", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" as of right now
EDIT: Clockworkmod recovery is not functioning, if that was not clear.
Follow this guide for installing mtd roms such as cm7, aosp, miui...Just replace vgb rom with cm7.

Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
Hi!
I rooted my wt19i phone and installed a 5.0.2.7 recovery.
Then I went to recovery and wipe/format everything for the new rom, but the rom wasn't on the SD.
Then I reboot my phone, but I couldn't step in again into the recovery.
What is the problem?
Why can't I go into recovery?
Pls, help!

That's because maybe you click in the option format sd card. When you install a new rom, just wipe cache, wipe dalvik & if in the thread rom said that you need to wipe data, you must wipe it. Not format anything.

So, in the mount and storage menu doesn't have to format, okay.
Woth flashtool, i put on my phone a 4.0.2.A.0.58 rom.
So, i think, i'm fine
THX!
I think You have locked bootloader, so when You wipe everything, doesn't install new ROM and reboot device - You have also wiped recovery That's why You wasn't able to boot into it : )

That's right. If you haven't flashed a kernel with a recovery mode installing a recovery by any other method installs it to the system partition.
you can find a flashable zip for cwm recovery in themes and apps section. remember to flash it whenever you change your rom before exiting recovery mode.

Hi you,
I usually use these steps below to flash ROM
1. Use Odin to flash CWM that is compatible with your new ROM
2. Copy your new ROM into phone sdcard
3. Boot into CMW, wipe data/factory cache, wipe davik cache
4. Flash your new ROM and reboot.
Hope this help.

Try this first.
If your device is stuck at boot animation or facing boot loop issues then try the following steps:
Disconnect your phone from computer, close Odin and remove phone's battery. Reinsert it back within 3 to 4 seconds, re-launch Odin and then repeat the tutorial from step 4.

Otherwise, just go into your recovery and flash a custom KitKat or a Lollipop ROM. This method would remove all the data present on the phone, so I am assuming that you took a backup before handling odin. To flash a ROM, do this:
1. Download ROM and GApps and put them in your storage(MOUNT SDCARD FROM THE RECOVERY ITSELF)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Flash ROM AND GApps
6. Reboot system.
Then you're good to go.
Regards.
