X-Parts problem - General Questions and Answers

It's not working when I boot my phone,pressing Vol button down or up,NOTHING!
When reboot with app,then works like charm.
Why can I not boot to CWM manualy?
I have Xperia mini official ICS 4.0.4 .
Do I have to unlock bootloader and flash it?

Well,that's how x parts works!
If you unlock bl,you won't need this.... You can install a custom kernel which has cwm pre installed and you can access manually

But I don't want to install custom kernel.
I'm gonna try to flash the cwm with RecoverX.

[HELP!!] I can't get into recovery

Please anybody, help me
here is the problem, I just install the official OTA JB
from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497
now, it's so laggy, and I want to change to custom ROM, but I can't get into recovery
when I enter the recovery it comes out with android laying with yellow triangle
try holding down the power button volume up and down buttons at the same time it should reboot into recovery

stock recovery isn't the same as custom recovery
Hello,
Your best bet is to flash your phone back to the Stock ICS rooted ROM. Use One Click Root 5.1 in Development Thread. You'll never be able to use the stock recovery to do anything. Only a custom recovery allows you to install custom ROMs
Once you're back to Stock ICS, then install a CUSTOM version of Jelly Bean by searching through the development thread for the best ROM
You should:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 6.0.1.0
Flash a JB ROM
Flash GAPPS
reboot

CWM recovery problems and how to install .img recovery files

Two questions:
1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?
2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?
With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. For me it works.

Have you tried an older recovery? I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0. Installed with Recovery Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23474089
The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.
So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?

Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.
Instructions:
1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard
2. Open Terminal App
3. Run :
Code:
su
Then
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
4. Reboot and now it would work !
^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?
Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

What are you using to install them? Cuz it sounds like you are installing some recovery in the system partition like the ics temp ones

I used rom manager and terminal emulator. I still haven't tried the latest touch recovery. I'll keep the older version until this gets fixed.

i have the same problem with my p920, flashing the newest CWM 6.0..1.9 and trying to reboot into it bricks the device...
i wanted to try out CM10, but i'm stucked on the lg logo after flashing it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35439373&postcount=721 )
At first this thread in the wrong section .
Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598320
And about flashing the .img . you can flash the .img with omap4boot when the phone in fastboot mode ( this what you should do with ICS) .
Maybe change the twrp.img or cwm.img with the recovery you want to flash . Maybe I'm not sure .

I had the same problem.
The latest CWM recovery (6.0.1.9) bricked my phone upon restart.
I had to flash a new rom to get it working, tried to entrer CWM recovery and it bricked again.
Finally reverted to stock recovery, i'm thinking about flashing CMW 5 again.
Can someone tell me which is the latest 5 version?
^ 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I couldn't make CWM 6.0.1.9 to work (non-touch and touch). Managed to boot into it temporarely, but that's all.
i am using CWM 6.0.1.9 with no problem. it works fine, also i am using CM10.

I used that one to flash stock recovery, it works great.
But I think it includes CWM Recovery version 5.2.0.7, not 5.8.1.5.

I prefer non-touch, I find it more reliable.
If you have any problems with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
You can not install the CM10 or Jelly Bam
You have the bootloader locked.
I had the same problem and I unlocked the bootloader.
Now everything works perfectly.

[tool] [bootloaders] wkpark 1.25a and ICS [flashable zip] [adb installation]

Flashable zip
If you don't want to mess with fastboot i made this script for flashing Wkpark's bootloader from recovery. It is umodified wkpark's boot and all credits give to him, i just made script.
It is tested only on original non touch CWM recovery 6.0.1.9, but it should work on all cwm recovery.
Flashing loader is always dangerous, no matter is it done from kdz, bin, fastboot or with this zip and if you brick your phone i'm not responsible, you are doing this at your own risk.
Basically with this you can install/upgrade from GB to ICS 28B without connecting phone to PC:
1. Reboot recovery
2. install this zip: http://d-h.st/bqj (V30A) or this: http://d-h.st/x7t (v28B)
3. install bootloader from this thread
4. [optional] install root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903752
5. [optional] for better performance install iodak's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069166
6. reboot and enjoy
If phone does not start pull out battery and try again.
Adb tools links and changelog.
Phone must be rooted before using adb tools.
02/04/2013 Added stock 30A bootloader
Link: http://d-h.st/aqV
19/03/2013 Added option for flashing original ics bootloader using ADB tools
It will flash gpt1, x-boot, u-boot and original recovery. It will not delete any data.
Original bootloader works only with stock kernel!!!
Link: http://d-h.st/Ci8
15/03/2013 Added installation script using ADB
It will work on any rooted device (GB, CM10, ICS28b).
Connect phone with adb enabled in settings. Unpack zip from this thread. Start runme.bat.
Choose 1 for flashing only loader
Choose 2 for flashing loader and recovery.

Sorry for the Dummy question,but i read a lot of topics where is said''install Wkpark bootloader to fix freezeing on Cm10(Camera,youtube etc.)
Well will this work on CM10? And also you are telling me that i can install this bootloader and then flash the Bin of v28B with smartflash and i will have a working ICS?will will this work with XBsall V7.1 zip
It will work on any rom, it is totally independent from rom. Of course, ported ics or rooted 28b can't work without this loader and this is not for this roms.
how to check if my bootloader is open? Or it is not important?
And Did you tried your method
CWM recovery or Stock recovery should be used?
After install the Boot125a.zip i will lost root right
Sorry for the stupid questions and spamming,but i really don't want to brick my device.
My device is Rooted(Is that a problem),21A ,Jellybam,also have flashed Bernies files

Tried on my device, doble checked cwm log before uploaded. You just need working cwm recovery and you can flash any rom after flashing loader: gb, cm10 and derivates, xsball v7...
You will not loose root and recovery.

OK I'm on cm10 right now. I already have the 1.25 boot loader installed from fast boot. So really I can flash xbasalls v7 ROM right now and it should run? Correct? Or do I have to flash your zip with 1.25?
Never mind I understand now. I have to load the 28b update then the 1.25 boot loader.

[Q] downgrade xperia j from jb to ics?

Hello Guys.
my sister has got a xperia j. I updated it to jelly bean.
But now i see that rooting isnt possible without bootloader unlock.
So the question i would like to ask is:
it possible to downgrade the xperia j via flashtool to ics or will it brick?
Second thing. I would like to install cwm on it (there is a version for locked bootloaders) and flash paranoid rom.
Do i have to unlock the bootloader after this or can i just flash the rom with locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance
Odun96
i never brick my phone through flashing ftf and kernels....so go to general section and find stock.ftf rom for your j....then download flashtool (google it), connect your phone to flashmode (i think it is vol - and connent to your pc), select stock.ftf file to flash and flash it....after that if all will be ok your phone will boot after 10-15 minutes so be patient... if you have errors during flashing just post the image flashtool or the logcat... paranoid rom is for unlocked bootloaders because has a custom kernel...if you want a rom, go to install gimlo, paradox, ultrabeast etc...
Sent from my Xperia Tipo using xda app-developers app
If your sister is using it then I would suggest flashing the jb firmware. Coz its sorta best when compared to older stock ROMs...
If u wanna use it for your own benefit then unlock the boot loader, download the xperia j(Jlo) CM 10 FXP from freexperia project site...
Download gapps.zip for CM10
copy both the files to sdcard
then flash CM 10 kernel and then power on repeatedly press volume buttons you will enter into CWM in that select install zip from sdcard flash the CM 10 FXP.zip file
Flash gapps.zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic cache
reboot
Phew !
