Hit THANKS if i helped u
FOR 2011 XPERIA Phones [LwW/Mini/Mini Pro/Active]
Below i am mentioning the steps to how to install a custom ROM (Real ICS,Serenity, HyperbeamCream etc.) i think it may be helpful.
First of all u should unlock the bootloder for installing custom ROM's (not for all ROM's)
For unlocking the boot loader for Xperia 2011 series phone u should get the unlocking code from the sony mobile site ( http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ ) follow this link and get the unlocking bootloder code.
For unlocking the boot loder Download the "fastboot" drivers from here. Install them accordingly.
Turn off your phone. Wait for 30 seconds. Connect your phone to the PC while keeping the volume up key pressed. Your phone's LED will lit blue (indicating fastboot mode).
Head over to the location where you kept the previously unzipped fastboot folder. Right click while keeping pressed the SHIFT key on the folder and select "Open command prompt here"
Type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version to ensure your have entered bootloader mode (you will get version on java example, 0.3)
Type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY (replace KEY with unlock code you got from Sony's website earlier)

then disconnect the mob from ur PC.
INSTALLING OR FLASHING KERNAL
For Installing cUSTOM rom u should use the custom KERNEL ( KRsH Kernel, EXtended Stock Kernel, Kernel Panic etc.)
for downloading u can visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887855
After downloading ur preferred kernel.
U must install the FLASHTOOL into ur PC. then
Open the flash tool
Click on the lightning bolt sign and select "Fastboot mode" and click OK.
Switch off ur Mobile and press the Vol UP key and connect it ur computer. Now your phone is in fast boot mode.

Installing or Flashing Custom ROM
First of all copy the Custom ROM file in ur phones SDcard. Here is the list of Custom ROM and kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887855
Then Turn your phone on. When you see the Sony or Sony Ericsson logo on the screen, keep pressing the volume down key. It will take you to the CWM recovery mode, which was installed automatically with the kernel.
Use the volume up and down keys to navigate through menu items and the Home key for selecting.
Do a full wipe (format data, system, cache, Dalvik cache and battery cache).
Choose "install from SD card" and then select "choose zip file". Select the ROM file
It will take you to the very much intuitive Aroma installer, which is very easy and much like installing an operating system on your PC.
After finishing the installation, REBOOT ur phone twice

First you need to unlock the bootloader to flash the custom kernel. Follow for example the guide in the stickies in general forum
And just check out development section for custom roms for locked bootloader, then try some and find your personal best rom/kernel. We are not allowed to answer that question

Any custom kernel (boot.img) has cwm or TWRP recovery preinstalled. Just check the development section, but remember that you can just flash a kernel working for your android version (2.3 gingerbread, 4.0 ice cream sandwich, 4.1/4.2 jelly bean)

Hello, I've been trying to install custom rom on my xperia sola but I don't sure how and I don't wanna brick my phone, some people told me to try ROM Manager or X-Parts but in both app's it says that xperia sola is not supported.
Some told me to use flashtool and flash the boot.img but when I downloaded the pure blood rom(that's what I wanna use) there is only META-INF and system folders and no boot.img file, I've searched for some tutorials with good explanations for xperia sola but I haven't found any.
Can someone please give me a good tutorial or explain to me in detail how to install a custom rom? I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, yet im not quite sure how to enter my recovery....
Thanks for the help!

first you will need to install CWM recovery so that you can flash the custom roms to your device......... once installed you will then have to put the zip file of pure blood rom to your SD card and then install via CWM..........

I've already installed CWM but how do I reboot into it?
And is there any way to make sure my CWM is installed correctly like root cheker or something?
I didn't saw you added a link to CWM, I'll check it and see if I manage to do it, thanks.
To reboot into CWM, turn off the phone. Then press the power button till phone starts booting > Then keep pressing (repeatedly) the Volume Down button till CWM loads

Did you unlock your bootloader? If your bootloader is locked the only thing is flash only ROM for locked bootloader.
For example - you install munjenis CWM, you download ROM for locked bootloader (no CyanogenMod), place ROM on your phone memory, switch off the phone, switch on the phone, on logo pressing many times vol +, enter CWM and choose Install zip.
Thats it.

I tryed to install both Pure blood and Ultimate sola roms, same problem with both.
I can't post links yet, write in youtube "How to Load a Custom ROM on an Android Device " and go to the third video(for me anyway) by MobileUnlimited, that's what I used, I backed up all the data, wiped out data/factory reset, then install zip from sdcard(which btw goes to my internal storage and not my sdcard), then reboot system now.
And I used the CWM you gave me in post #12.
Thanks.
Edit - well, I didn't notice that, but the CWM you gave me is by "munjeni", and in the pure blood post it says: "2. FLASH CWM V5 for unlocked bootloaders... dont use any other...munjeni's "memory tweak + owerclock 1.15 ghz WILL GIVE BOOTLOOP.. and for locked bootloaders used the CWM is available for locked BL stock rom."
Can you give me another .54 CWM?

Heres the deal.
I got my hands on the walkman and whole android thing is pretty new to me,but i heard a lot of good responses about cyanogen and was wanting to instal it,but i faced some issues:
What I did: I unlocked the bootloader by following thread from sony site,loader was set to allow unlock,so this went succesfully i think.
Next a root was needed,tried several methods and nothing,then helped the one at talk.sonymobile
Hooray,SU app is in,allowed tiatnium and CWM installed sucessfully,phone is rooted.
Now I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen site.
Placed the rom and gapps in sd card,extracted the .img file to fastboot folder,everything is set,now I open the CMD promt in the fastboot folder,fastboot found the device,I hit the : ''fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img'' tried also '' fastboot flash boot boot.img'' but the cmd throws FAILED(the device must be rooted first).
What went wrong?the device is rooted already...I'm confused.Any suggestions?
and I wondered,is that cmd boot flash necessary,maybe i can install the cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip from cwm recovery console where it is said install from zip,cause the zip contains the boot.img and i was thinking,maybe it is possible to do it without the cmd thing.

I got my hands on the walkman and whole android thing is pretty new to me,but i heard a lot of good responses about cyanogen and was wanting to instal it,but i faced some issues:
What I did: I unlocked the bootloader by following thread from sony site,loader was set to allow unlock,so this went succesfully i think.
Next a root was needed,tried several methods and nothing,then helped the one at talk.sonymobile
Hooray,SU app is in,allowed tiatnium and CWM installed sucessfully,phone is rooted.
Now I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen site.
Placed the rom and gapps in sd card,extracted the .img file to fastboot folder,everything is set,now I open the CMD promt in the fastboot folder,fastboot found the device,I hit the : ''fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img'' tried also '' fastboot flash boot boot.img'' but the cmd throws FAILED(the device must be rooted first).
What went wrong?the device is rooted already...I'm confused.Any suggestions?
and I wondered,is that cmd boot flash necessary,maybe i can install the cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip from cwm recovery console where it is said install from zip,cause the zip contains the boot.img and i was thinking,maybe it is possible to do it without the cmd thing.

Well,for first:install the Flashtool and drivers.it is easier to use,and it will flash the boot.img either phone rooted or not.unbelivable that you people use CMDs,just like prehistorical humans

Install the drivers from flashtool and try it with flashtool
No, on our xperia devices we have to flash the kernel first, we can't flash it via cwm

Without CMD Flash Tool would not have been able to even flash a custom kernel as fastboot.exe requires CMD. As for your problem, dial this in your phone pad - *#*#7378423#*#*
If you have successfully unlocked your bootloader, then 'Rooting Status" will show "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" else you have not done the process properly. Make sure that you have typed the unlocked code properly. The 'o' may look like in the unlock code '0'. It is safer to copy and paste the unlock code. Also, try running CMD as administrator.
check again if u already unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlocked:yes, u have unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlock allowed:yes, means that ur phone can unlocked bootloader n need to unlocked
Thx

thank you,the first attempt for unlocking bootloader was un sucessfull.Running CMD as administrator and typing unlock code in CAPS did it.
Now im on Cyan 9.1
thx all
So,its not possible to flash a kernel using cwm? I ve been told that in cyanogenmod you already have rom and kernel in one zip and there is no need for use of flashtool...i guess i was told wrong?

I think it can be done on newer phones, but on 2011 models, it can't be done, u have to flash kernel using fast boot in pc. But u do Ave the kernel in the same zip

installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161968
but nothing happened.
i m still running the stock rom.
I found these instructions but couldnt understand them
Code:
- Extract boot.img from zip and put into your folden when you have fastboot.
- Put rom into sd
- Full wipe from recovery
- Flash rom
- Flash boot.img with an erase cache before and after boot flash
can anyone help me plz
thanx in advance
The easiest method available is to flash 4EXT recovery and turn on smartflash in options. this way you wont need to flash boot.img every time you install a rom.
If you still want to know what that guy was trying to say then read on.
during unlocking you must have used adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. you need to extract boot.img file from your ROM zip and put it in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located.
after that open cmd and navigate to that folder. then connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn off phone and hold power+vol down to boot into bootloader and select fastboot from menu)
the phone should now show "FASTBOOT USB". now enter this command in cmd without the inverted commas: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should something like sending and write OK in cmd
then reboot phone.
P.S. that rom is very similar to stock rom with little visual differences. check in settings>about phone>software number.. if it shows skydragon3D then your rom flashed correctly
thank you so much man
Hi, i've had my Z2 two years now and I've rooted, UB and installed roms on it many times but for some reason I can't get into recovery anymore. I flashed a different ROM a few months ago to try get it back to stock but since then, no recovery!
I've flashed the TWRP 1 click installer (only seems to work on laptop, on PC I get waiting for device but it says it worked on laptop) but still I can't get into a recovery to flash a custom rom.
Any ideas? How do I get recovery back? Please be a bit simple with me, i've googled it and just get overwhelmed by the info so figure I should ask and find out what actually applies to me..
Thanks.

If you have flashed a stock rom, you probably have locked your bootloader, try this (hope you have done a TA backup the first time you unlocked the BL...):
Download the Androplus kernel in development section, unzip it.
Then, download and use flashtool (install the drivers if need them) to unlock your BL again (BLU button).
Once you have unlocked it, disconnect the phone from the computer BUT DON'T BOOT IT.
Close and reopen flashtool, and select fastboot mode from flashtool and use the kernel flash option.
Select the boot.img you have unzipped from androplus (change the file extension to .img), and your are done.
Disconnect, reboot and you will be able to access the TWRP recovery from the kernel when you see the led, then flash a stock based custom ROM (with recovery), or CM one, try to have one of them downloaded and placed into your ext-sdcard.
PLEASE! My English is not good enough to explain this in a better way, if you don't are familiar with flashtool, fastboot mode or you don't understand any of the steps, wait for a better explanation or read a lot about it BEFORE doing nothing.
PS. Your internal data probably will be lost, make a copy of all your photos, docs, etc. You can relock your BL if you choose a stock based custom rom like eXistenZ, just restoring your TA backup after flashing it.
have u try flash via adb fastboot? it's easier when u have UB, try erase it first, "fastboot erase recovery" then flash the img (the latest twrp img is available on their site) "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
