[Q] problem with flashing kernel - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have flashed kernel on my SE Xperia X8 using flashtool. After flashing phone won't start, there's only GingerDX logo and it's showed again and again. My phone has unlocked bootloader, was rooted. I tried LinuxDX from there .. I want to use GingerDX rom. I have installed it using xrecovery on stock kernel, it worked fine. But when I flashed kernel, it dont work also. Please help me, I'm searching a solution, but I havent find it yet.

Sometimes you have to clear cache did you do that I'm only use to cmw as recovery so don't know if you can do that if not try adb to clear it don't know command hope it helps

In your case i would flash another ROM or just use Flashtool to flash original firmware which you can find in the section for your SE
Next time please post the model to because then you can get help quicker and even for the ones who want to help is easier

Hello, change your kernel maybe it works after that.
Or your CWM version is wrong for your new rom.

how do i know which kernel to choose from ?
i installed cm10 and everything is working like charm , but when trying to install clean rom or whatever rom with the stock look , the boot logo gets stuck and nothing happens
i tried different recovery , cwm and openrecovery touch and so .. its really weird
I donĀ“t know how it is to work with HTC Smartphones, because I only use
Sony / Sony Ericsson Smartphones.
But I think this is a way to install Stock Rom with Stock Kernel:

also my battery is 1 % and i dont know how to charge it (i just saw that) maybe my phone is rebooting cuz i dont have battery but it is inpossible to charge it cuz i dont have any rom installed
ok listen...can you flash stock.ftf rom to your tipo? just download flashtool (google it) and find stock.ftf from general section...one other way is to flash vergeance kernel with flashtool, enter cwm and flash a rom from android development (or cm10 from original android development) if you dont understand something tell me....
P.S. after you flashed stock rom or vergeance kernel turn on your phone and put charger to see if it charging

wtf this is the error i see when i try to flash the ftf file
it seems that you have wrong header.sin or you didn't enter the flashmode properly. make sure you get notice 'the device is plugged with flashmode' or something like that when you plug in the usb to your pc. to fix the header.sin issue you'll need the correct one. you can find it on the same thread where you got your tft.

i think that ico98 dont know how to fix header.sin and its better to flash a kernel from fastboot...its more easy...do you agree?

I'm not sure about that. he didn't give any specific info about how messed up his system is. if he install any stock ICS based rom (without any custom kernel) his problem mostly could be fixed by reflashing the rom and wipe the data. flashing a kernel won't fix this issue. aside from that scenario, there are several more scenario i.e:
1 he could have install a JB based rom then he install a ICS rom, completely dead. need to flash complete tft or reflash JB rom and wipe data.
2 ICS rom with custom ICS kernel. can be fixed by flash a stock kernel
3 etc etc...there are a lot of scenario
my main point is that flashing a kernel doesn't always fix anything. in most cases, I only suggest that step for more advanced user. without enough data about the system condition flashing a complete tft will be a general and always working method.
anyway, before we do any 'flash' thing, IMO wipe data might be a good choice. most new member forget about that important step and ended up with a bricked device.
ok then...i said to flash kernel and to choose a custom rom (gimlo, paradox etc) but if ico98 download again ftf file will he have this problem again? (header.sin)
P.S. sometimes i forgot to wipe system and data when i am to cm10 and i want to go back to ics and the only problem i have is some apps to force close....no brick only fc
P.S.2 i installed kernels from xperia mini pro and insecure kernel E dual and my phone didnt brick, just not boot...maybe my phone has immunity at brick ahahahahahahaha

well...it doesn't means that your system is immune. you're just lucky enough to never experienced a hardbrick.
Thank Youuuuu !!!!!

Help, every ROM I've tried just gets stuck in bootloop

Ok, Ive unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM, rooted my device and checked that it worked, and when I go to the boot loader and select recovery it takes me to CWM. Ive made backups from it and and they restore fine. I even installed a custom kernel and it worked because noFrills let me OC/choose a different governor. Yet from the three ROMs Ive tried so far, they install fine, no errors from CWM, but when I boot up it just gets stuck booting forever. Ive tried wiping everything, Ive tried wiping some things, heck I even tried wiping nothing but I still get the same issue. Id really like to try a new ROM now that I went through the trouble of voiding my warranty, so please try to help me. Thanks in advance, alexbenh
Same here
Gonna try out this guy's method real quick except with CWM

I know this seems obvious, but are the ROMs you are flashing specific for your device?

yes, I have the Moto G XT1034 and have flashed ROMs before on my old galaxy exhibit and never had any trouble with that
Join the club, same here, done everything right but no custom rom joy for me

If you're flashing a kitkat ROM, make sure you're already running KitKat. If you're still on 4.3, then fastboot flash the stock 4.4.2 image first, then try custom roms
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk
WOOOHOOO, I reinstalled the stock 4.4 firmware and everything, I couldnt root it with superboot so I just skipped the rooting step. Then I flashed CWM through the bootloader although I decided to take a risk and instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", I did "mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img" just to see if it would change anything. Not sure if thats why it works for me now, but its worth a try. Good luck to the rest of you who have this problem.

Yes, I was already running the stock 4.4 ROM the only differences was that I had a custom kernel which could possibly be an issue, but I wouldnt think so

huh, I had not tried using TWRP, but I thought CWM had a fix permissions command as well.

My experience. I tried CWM then loaded a Rom, the first one I tried being CM11 = Bootloop, Then I tried several other Rom's and always the same result, spinning on Bootloop
I then put the phone back to stock firmware 4.4.2 and tried TWRP version TWRP2630, no joy even the bootloader wouldn't work right.
Finally put the phone back to stock AGAIN (now getting frustrated!) and tried installing TWRP2631 using fastboot. That did the trick, now all ROM's load and run fine. This version of TWRP appears to be working well. Backup/restore works, and no problems at all.
Other's report CWM works well, but not for me unfortunately.

Bootloop after unlocking bootloader

Guys, I soft-bricked my friend's Xperia L while unlocking the bootloader (used Sony's method, with ADB and Fastboot), but then, after unlocking and rebooting, we're struck at the bootanimation. How can I make it alive again?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Thats perfectly normal.
Just flash a .ftf trought Flashtool and you are good to go
Here is the link to all versions of FTF curently available
Did it, but now Wi-Fi isn't working correctly and PC Companion doesn't detect the device anymore. What should I do?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
OK, witch version of firmware did you flash? I had problems with wifi on 15.3.0.26. The newest firmware did fix that problem.
Did you flash some custom kernel? If you have you must enter recovery and flash modules for that kernel.
If nothing of this is a problem try to reflash firmware.
So enter flashtool choose flashmode put check marks on wipe CACHE and DATA, also check No final verification.

Yep, I flashed the 15.3.0.26 firmware, so that was the problem. I flashed the latest firmware and everything works great now! I also flashed a custom kernel for my friend, and now he's really happy!
I had the same problem with my phone some days back
Flashing with Stock Rom helped. But flash with the latest Stock rom
I suggest you flashing 15.3.A.1.14 ftf and keep WIPE DATA and CACHE ticked..
If you are searching the "why" of the bootloop I think that I have you because whose answer is the following: If you try to charge the mobile and it has become part of those soft-bricked devices, I think that this is because you don't have enough charge to boot properly, so, what you have to do is to connect your device in flash mode, waiting for the flashmode more than usually, and then restart you firmware with the properly .ftf that you want.
Luck!
