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

Did you flash proper kernel and make correct choices for your phone?
if your device is stuck on the boot screen, you probably forgot to format the system before doing the other wipes and install the ROM :x

I don't think you have to format the system. Generally All Roms are packed with updater-script which directs the cwm to format the system prior flashing.

Instead of choosing full wipe in Aroma, do factory reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik Cache in CWM (recovery mod)and then install ROM.

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.
Thanks,
Irfan

did u wipe Dalvik Cache!???
Are you sure you followed all the steps properly and you chose Xperia mini? Try it again
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Note: After installation, first boot may take several minutes (to create cache, dalvik cache etc.) to start your device. Leave your device for 20-30 minutes to settle down the rom. Also at first boot you may notice a high ram usages (less free ram). It is natural because android system occupy a lot of memory while settling down the new rom. After 30-40 minutes reboot your device and you are now ready to fly with your newly installed rom.

Have you selected locked bootloader option in Aroma installer? I tried Zelly cream with Lupus kernel - it worked fine

Yes i've selected it. And it still doesn't work. Any help? I really want to use that rom so bad.
Did you flash the kernel Included (or recomended) for your rom? because if you are stuck at a sony logo it seems to me that you still have stock kernel.
Edit: it seems that you have just hot boot the first kernel with recovery so when you boot again it just revert to stock Kernel.
That would explain why you can't access to recovery the second time.
You need to really flash the kernel:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Plus the usb Cable in While pressing volume up.
3. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" If you use fastboot in command line or "Select Kernel to Flash" button if you use fastboot in Flashtool.
Edit2: Ok I just realised that you have Locked bootloader so what i just told you won't work. Sorry.
Did you really follow step 10 and 11 and chose "reboot to system"?
The only thing I can think of would be to unlock your bootloader using mihahn thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879750 and then install a custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply bro, yeah but it is said in the rom that it works with stock kernel. I dont want to unlock my bootloader maybe i'll brick my phone and i don't know how to fix that. I'm pretty sure that i've followed every steps given by the dev but still the same thing happened. Now, i tried to flash the stock kernel and root again and install cwm again then i tried to flash the custom rom via cwm and followed every steps then reboot. And still it wont go through the sony logo. really need help guys!

When you have 10 posts you may ask in the dev thread, maybe there's a little step we all missed and so it's not working

yeah i've never seen a feedback from people that's using the zelly cream rom with a stock kernel, maybe the problem is with the stock kernel. Now i'll try some other custom roms out there maybe they'll work with the stock kernel and a locked bootloader.
Thanks for the support guys!

Hi, the first time i tried this i only wiped data/factory reset and nothing else, so when i rebooted from recovery mode i got stuck at sony logo. Took me some time to fix everything (flash stock ICS on device, root phone and install cwm again).
Now i did all this:
0. Locked Boot Loaders should Install CWM
1. Reboot to cwm.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe cache partition.
4. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu.
5. Format data under mount and storage menu.
6. Format system under mount and storage menu.
7. Format cache under mount and storage menu.
8. Install zip from sd card.
9. Follow the steps in aroma installer to install the rom.
10. Untick Reboot Device when installation completed.
11. Go back to CWM & Reboot from there.
12. When System boots up go to Developer Option & Tick "Force GPU Rendering".
13. Active Users Flash Home_Key fix from Addon Section
Now when i rebooted from CWM (recovery mode) the sony logo appears for about 10 sec, than disappears for about 5-10 sec, and it's doing this over and over again for about 10min now.
Any ideas ?

Why did you flash the active user home button fix? It's for Xperia active st17 users! I guess that's the problem
Reinstall the rom like you did before and don't flash the active fix! It should work fine

I actually didn't do that, because when i reboot from CWM (after installing rom) that's where the sony logo flashes in about 10s intervals.
unable to install custom rom
Hi guys..Currently I'm using "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro".I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.
After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".
I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.
note: I followed all the steps[/B]

Download your xperia mini pro ginger bread ftf
Flash it using flashtool
And boot up to gingerbread os. The touch will work now
Now flash the kernel and then the rom of your choice.
When ever your touch stops working. Just chill and flash the official ginger bread firmware (ftf file) by sony

use the ics-ftf gb is outdated. also flashing stock.ics.ftf is a requirement for LX.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0
after u flashed t just install LX like this (dont do more ; not less !)
- place ROM.zip & gapps ON SD
- power off device, flash KERNEL inside ROM zip
- in mounts & storage format: /system /data /cache
- install ROM & gapps
-boot that sh*t XD
good luck too u.
