you need to flash a kernel for that rom
or find a rom for locked bootloader

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

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)

[Q] unlocked bootloader + custom kernel, flash custom rom success.. but stuck

hello..
i've search thru the forum, and my prob is somehow differ than others..
already unlocked bootloader.. apply custom kernel successfully..
step i do to flash rom:
- backup in CWM
- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]
- [wipe 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
still stuck at sony logo.. wait around 1 hour.. nothing happened...
then i remove battery, try to boot into cwm..
success..
but the cwm background pic changed with wording "CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7 Full (by DooMLoRD)".. not like before.. and i restored back..
the ROM i tried is Pureness build 3 and jjHybrid 3.1.. both give same problem..
check screenshot of my system below.. is there's any problem with my system?
or it is related to odex?
so.. got any idea or possible solution?
or my phone problem itself?
thx in advance...
try other kernel...
1. Pureness build 3 ,Kernel :Night Elfs ICS Kernel mod
2. jjHybrid 3.1,Kernel Use any of Following
a) STOCK Kernel (No OverClocking)
b) shardul_seth Kernel
c) Night-Elf Kernel
d) Adridu kernel
look at specific thread,you will find the answer.

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!

I don't know why you're getting so much errors?!
I flashed everything on one go and all were just fine to work!
Please tell me your exact process of doing all this?

before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.
must i tell this in every reply?
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.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
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.

HEY EVEN I HAD THE SAME SAME PROBLEM BEFORE...its was that i followed all the steps n still was stuck at bootlogo

So I tried to format my sd card using SDFORMATTER 3.1 and flashed the om again and :laugh: it WORKED
SO BASICALLY TRY TO FORMAT THE SD CARD USING SD FORMATTER software and not the windows default one.
IT WORKED FOR ME AND HOPE IT WILL FOR YOU ALSO
SD CARD FORMATTER 3.1 link google it

After fastboot the custom kernel (suave) then enter the CWM to flash custom ROM(Xperia_Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_6.00_NeoV)... wipe all data and other common step.. then i reboot the system
My phone get boot loop after that. So i remove the battery then enter the CWM again.. but the colour change to red and detect my phone as "xperia ARC".. plzzz.. i really stuck here

You mean real ics? Okay please update to ics like explained here first. After that get cwm.
Download the rom and put it on sd card.
1. Reboot in cwm
2. "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip"> choose the installation zip
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
6. Reboot
That's it. Should work
No, you can't install cusrom ics with gb kernel, you should upgrade stock rom ics, root, install cwm, wipe everything, install cusrom real ics, done..

I just meant as you said wipe all that's wrong. Don't wipe or format /system. He just shouldn't do anything like format system. Just that he doesn't think "wipe all" = "system,data,cache,dalvik cache, etc"

Having Problems Installing a ROM? Check this Thread

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:

Because whenever i flash this custom rom(Zelly Cream) it successfully installed and i followed everything in the procedures given by the dev (wipe cahe/data/ format system etc) but the problem is when i reboot the system it wont go through the sony logo and i cant even access to the recovery. The only thing that i did is flashing again the stock firmware to fix the problem. But i want to use a custom rom. Need help guys! my mini is rooted, installed cwm 5.0, locked bootloader, stock kernel, build no. 587.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hey guys! i've made the rom working for my xperia mini! all i did is install again and follow again the instructions! i don't why the third time i tried to install this rom is working! I did all the same steps again and im shocked that it go through the sony logo!

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]

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:
