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:

I installed the ICS rom by zeubea on my htc legend, i followed the installation and it worked good. and then i installed the gapps, and now my phone is bootlooping.
when i try to do fastboot and re-install the rom, i get this message which says something about legendimg.zip file, and it quickly disappears.
and when i try to go to recovery the device shows the backgroud of the recovery but nothing happens.
if anyone understand my question and can help me do something to make my legend work again i will thank you very much

the problem is that when i try to go to recovery i see the recovery background image and nothing happens so i can't install other version of the rom.
never mind, i got it to work.
all i had to do is press VOL UP + POWER button.
everyday i learn new things
Tried to update from CM7.2 to CM9.1 by instruction:
1. wipe data
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik
4. flash rom..
5. reboot
and 9.1 didnt run at all.. bootloop..
also tried
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
bootloop...
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
4. gapps
5. wipe all
bootloop...
rolled back to 7.2 - works fine..
p.s.
sorry for my english
Why are you NOT wiping (formatting) boot and system? If you don't your leaving all the files for the previous rom installed hence why your having issues...
Installation is so easy if you use a bit of thought,
Format boot, system, data, cache and SDext DONOT FORMAT SD CARD!
Flash rom then flash gapps then reboot.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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]

Flash a custom rom with cwm..
wipe your data/system first.
wipe catche
install from sd card (Flashable file must be store in root of your sdcard.)
wipe catche
wipe dalvik catche
Imp:
Make your currunt working rom backup before anything you do with your phone. it will save you.

go to this post and flash the stock firmware via odin.
for installing custom rom, you will need root and cwm
go to recovery mode
choose install zip from sd card
choose the cwm file
this will install the cwm.
now wipe data and cache
go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache
then go to choose zip from sdcaed and select the rom
please make sure that you are using a proper custom rom file meant for your phone.
hit thanks if it helped
