Hi, I just flashed the boot.img from cm10 after doing so I cant reboot into system, it just bootloops, I put cm10 on sdcard and cwm does not see my sdcard. It also will not let me mount my sdcard. I have tried booting into flashmode and flash a stock ftf but that does not work, it goes to 0% percent then bootloops. Also tried relocking my bootloader and the same thing happens, please help, thanks
Can anybody help me ?
Did you try to restore the device with Sony PC Companion?
You must put cm 10 on internal storage not on sd card to flash it

Hi everyone...
I need help about putting CM 10 to my Xperia J [ST26i]
My Xperia came with 11.0.A.7.5 firmware.
First thing I do is Unlocking Bootloader - which is successfull...
Second is trying to Root it...
So I have downgraded to 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware then rooted it.
Then I decided to put a CM10 FXP 209...
Everything is continued without problem...
Untill I'm on writing "boot.img" to my ST26i...
I've tried CMD and Flashtool but both says "Device must be rooted, are you root?" or something like that...
But my device is already rooted on 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware...
Do this have to be rooted on 11.0.A.7.5 firmware?
Also I have tried to do it via manuel.
I was install CWM and enter it wiped device, but CWM can't find zip file to install or update.
I was copied with both names "blablablaFXP209.zip" and "update.zip"...
Then CWM is freezed and my device stucked at black screen.
After that I have installed 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware again and rooted it...
What should I do now?
Do I have to unlock bootloader again?
1 more thing to ask...
I have a Xperia ArcS too, can I change the IMEI...
Thanks who all helped...

you have to flash boot.img before the rom
and why did you flashed it if you installed succesfully FXP?
what are you trying to flash?

There is misunderstanding.
I do all the prepares successfully, but I can't flash the FXP...
Cause I can't flash the "boot.img"...
There is always says "Device must be rooted! Are you root..."

and you are trying to do this via fastboot?
IE: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Yes, I have used fastboot and Flashtool...
I'm following those steps [From FreeXperia] :
1.Device Unlocking
All info regarding unlocking procedure is on SONY website
2.Copy update on phone
a.copy update
copy update-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip coresponding to your device to sdcard
b.copy GAPPS
due to legal rules gapps are not provided into main rom
google for gapps package and copy on sdcard
3.Flash CM kernel
a. extract boot.img from zip file
b. power off device
c. press volume up (2012 devices) / menu (2011 devices)
d. plug usb and blue led will be lit
e. on computer type in same folder where you have boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
!!! you have to have fastboot.exe in same folder !!!
4.Boot into recovery
while FXP logo is displayed (and lights are lit) press several times volume up to enter CWM (recovery)
5.Flash ROM
to update main rom select
a.Install zip from sdcard
b.choose zip from sdcard
c.select your update (copied at step 2)
to flash gapps redo steps a-c and select gapps package
!!! use gapps version designed for your android version !!!
6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise
8.reboot and enjoy...
But every time, stucked on 3rd step....
Always says "Device must be rooted. Are you root?"...

when you delete system partition your phone doesnt have rom...flash your stock rom (with flashtool) or transfer rom.zip (cm10, gimlo, paradox etc) and install it from clockworkmod...( if you have stock kernel and you formated your system partition you wont have clockworkmod) flash vergeance kernel (if you have unlocked bootloader) and press vol + or - to boot to cwm or twrp....

The easiest way for u is either repair ur device via pc companion or update service.
Or download ur ftf file and flash via flashtool.

Hi,
I had been trying to fix the touchscreen calibration problem on my sister's Xperia J (TIM branded) by flashing another ROM/Firmware.
I flashed "st26i_11.2.A.0.31 Kernel By [email protected]_Central Europe.ftf" using flashtool by mistake before I installed Clockworkmod itself. I copied the Darkmoon AVD ROM (Ref : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309415) to the external card . I booted into Clockworkmod and took a backup of the stock ROM, then as I checked to see if I could see the ROM in the "install zip from sdcard" option, I could not find it since it was reading the internal storage instead of the external sd card. Then I rebooted the phone to check if I could transfer the ROM to internal storage but now I am unable to boot up the phone and nothing happens. The screen remains blank (though the backlight is visible).
I need urgent help to fix this. Please help.
PS : Bootloader unlocked.
PPS : Probably wrong thread. Mods please move if needed

You got bootloop, simply there is no rom to boot, what is more kernels with CWM are from CM which is not compatible with stock rom. Try to flash 11.2.A.0.31.ftf clean using flashtool, there might be need to remove battery to avoid booting and again get bootloop.
P.S I did even worse thing when I starting to play with android (I've flashed kernel from Arc S)
I feel dumb. But I flashed the kernel.sin from http://www.4shared.com/folder/25Mb7Dws/Xperia_J.html and it booted normally.
i switch off my phone it takes longer time to switch off so i suddenly remove my battery and reinsert it and after i power on it so simply sony logo what can i do for that
Hi.
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia Tipo. I have CM10 and I downloaded rom based on it. Everything went ok, but this rom needed storage fix. I've changed file that was needed for this in Root Explorer (because some people said that doing that in CWM isn't working), so I have done that. After that, when I wanted to restart the phone the phone restarted itself. After few restarts I've seen that my phone is bootlooped. I pasted rom zip on my micro SD card with computer and a reader and I did factory reset and formated /system. After this I've seen that CWM can't read the external_sd, probably because of some problems with this before. I want to send this file through ADB, but I haven't unlocked USB debugging yet. What should I do? I have CWM, now useless ADB, unlocked bootloader and formated system ;_; Sorry for my english.
I'd say flash an FTF, or flash the CM10 ZIP again. You should be good.
Thanks Flashed ftf with flashtool and it is working right now.
//EDIT
Don't close mod.
Phone still don't see external SD. What should I do?
//EDIT 2
All right, restarted the phone and now it see a ext SD.
I tried flashing my Xperia SL with cm 12. Unfortunately after installing cwm recovery, i forgot to back up the stock rom and factory reseted the whole device cleaning everything on the sd card. Now my phone is left without a rom and when i connect it to the pc, It is not being detected. When i switch on the phone it goes to cwm recovery and that's it. Every file i click on it says not found, and i tried mounting the usb as well. Same story. File cannot be found. What should i do now? I can't access anything on my phone. Is it possible to revert back to the stock rom i.e, Android 4.1.2? Please help.
