Then I went into recovery mode, I tried to install zip from internal storage, after installed the zips, I clicked on Reboot options \ device/system, but then I can't return back to my android system any more, it just keep on booting into DoomKernel. I need to flash Xperia S LT26i Official elf ROM on Flashtool before I can be able to return to my system, but than I can't never ever install any zip including custom ROM n scripts...therefore plz plz can anybody out there help...
Big thanks.

Why can't you boot directly into recovery and flash a different kernel?

Did you replace the boot.img in the zip file with the fxp 151 boot.img as well? If not, you have again unknowingly flashed corrupted boot.img.
Just fastboot 151 boot.img again
For stock ROM enter flashmode, download ftf, flash with flashtool.

why you didn't mention it first time ???
and this time my phone is not blinking a single light so i can't boot my phone into flashmode.. so what to do now ???

If you looked through the fxp thread, just the last couple of pages, you would have figured it out. How was I to know you just saw instructions in first post and decided to flash rom?
Are you pressing power + volume down and holding them when phone is switched off? Green led should blink

I too have noticed the issues with this rom and am now having difficulties getting flashtool to flash my phone back to stock rom. I am planning some minor tweaks to stock once i get it back, any ideas on why flashtool is sticking at 0% and wont flash my phone?
FYI I have left it for hours and it still stuck at 0% so its not that Im not giving it chance, also i have tried 2 separate USB ports and 2 PC's other than this one so i think its something phone based not PC based...

I sort out my problem myself.. i flash new gapps and restart my phone twice and now everything is better than OK.

[Q] Need help with bricked miro (stuck on Sony logo) (CM10 cockup)

Hi guys.
so here is what happened to start with:
i tried to to put CM 10 jelly bean on it. (Free xperia Project) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997251
i followed all the instructions given in the how To', except for one
i overlooked on the kernel installation procedure(my bad ) and i directly went for the ROM and Gapps one.
i did all this through the latest Version of CWM, it successfully installed both, ROM and gapps.
but after that i tried to reboot, it didn't reboot
all it does is that, when i press the power button, it vibrates once, and if i constantly press on the vibrate button, it constantly Keeps on vibrating :/
without showing anything on the screen.. bricked i thought!
so to get out of it i started using Fastboot.exe using this as as a guide: http://forums.droidbeans.com/tutori...SESSID=af435aa8d3021e9723408b9fbec9d7d4#msg83 (part 3 onward). that didn't work as it had problems flashing cache and recovery (i think i made a huge error as it wont flash to cache and recovery anymore :/
so to get around it i I managed to get hold of the ftf. (Generic) I have flashed it using flashtoot but it still hangs on the Sony logo and does not much more.
so then I tried flashing FXP boot.img using fastboot and that went on ok and now I can get it into cwm recovery to flash cm10 rom onto it (with no errors) but it still hangs on the free xperia logo after wiping although it doesn't seem to want to wipe the cache. So I'm not sure where to go from here. stumped!
If it helps, when i start CWM Recovery It says something like E: can't retrieve / open recovery log a few times at the bottom of the screen And in fastboot I can't wipe or flash to recovery. at all. I now don't even know if that's the problem
I did the defeated thing and took it to the shop to see what they say and they want to send it away. But I will have to pay once they work out its my error, and im in no doubt it is. so I still have it, hoping i can sort it
if anyone can help i would be eternally grateful. the phone is only a month old and i cant really afford to replace it :'(

Update. I've found out from other page that it could be a problem with the kernel. I flashed it separately and it still hangs on Sony. I'm looking for a stock boot.img and I will try that.

Have you tried to flash a new firmware with wiping everything? Also if you can provide a logcat that would be great

My adb doesnt recognise my device, and i cant get into download mode

You could try to flash a stock ftf with flashtool in flashmode

I have the same problem, only flashing red light when charging the battery. have any idea as it could refresh this external battery?

If you cant connect ur device as ADB try downloading latest google android drivers from here and try again

Need help with flashing FXP-cm-12-20150219-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo

After flashing FXP-cm-12-20150219-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo only head of the robot shows up and nothing more happens.
Maybe someone could write me an instruction or give a link to it.

Well, well, well
Previously, you should put FXP cm12 rom zip file in your external sdcard
1. You should first load your boot.img file via Flashtool in fastboot mode (blue led, to get it, turn off phone, connect it to pc while you are pressing simultaneously vol + slowly) before start flashing a FXP CM rom (you can extract it from the fxp cm12 zip file)
2. After you inject the boot.img file, wait for an ok message in flashtool, disconnect the phone, close flashtool, turn on phone and press vol + or - repeteadly, the purple led will turn, the telephone should vibrate and you will enter into cwm recovery, after that, do the reglamentary wipes (data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache) before flash the new rom, now, choose the zip file from the external card, install it, wait until if finishes, do the three wipes again, and finish up exiting of cwm recovery
3. The telephone should start the installation of the cm12 rom and around after 3-5 minutes, your lollipop will be done!
4. If none of the above works, please download and install XperiFim, download the stock rom according to your E3 model (D2202/12/03/06/43) and flash it via flashtool using flash mode (mode when green led on, to get it, turn off phone and connect it to the pc pressing simultaneosly vol - slowly (keep in mind this because it may enter in cwm mode) and after get again the stock rom, repeat steps 1-3 doing it well this time.
I hope that my instructions help you a lot!!
If you are not so desperated, wait until 2nd half of the year or 2016, because Lollipop will not ship it soon for medium and low-end 2014 xperia devices. We have the choice of AOSPing and use CM12, but not nothing official at this moment (20-02-2015)

Do you even tried your fabulous method?
Do you even know that CM12 for E3 is corrupted, any variant of E3 are working with this rom (D2202, D2203....)
And No nothing will be done for Xperia E3 this device is came out in September 2014, there almost 7months and atm there is nothing working/relevant (You will say AOSP to me but... AOSP don't have camera and there are a lot of bugs on it, so its not relevant)
About CM 12 I forgot this idea since a while, why? because there are no developpers interrested on this device.
If you want a nice custom ROM, put your E3 to trash and buy Xperia M2 or Z3, this forum for E3 is dead, that's all !

Hi @Exerath
I suggested that method because it worked on my other xperia device when installed CM, so i thought that installing CM in every xperia device will be the same thing (obviously keeping in mind device, kernel and CM version). I didn't know about bootloop in E3 running a broken CM12 rom.
Also i wasnt aware about cm12 being unstable for any E3 variant (D22XX) and nothing about failing camera in AOSP.
And please forget that idea, my device is not for the trash. I don´t care if there´s no official or unofficial lollipop version . Early or soon, somebody will take care of our devices
I´m so happy with my E3 and i wanna try to help :'( :"-(
