hello all,
yes another new noob here.
i have a xperia mini (st15i) and i will install my first custom rom on it.
i readed so much the last days and many different things, so i have some questions before, just to be sure i am doing right.
i am on stock rom .62 with root CWM 5.0.2.7 installed but bootloader is locked.
I know how to unlock it but this is not what i want to know
i have choosen this rom to flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435
If i have understand the install instructions, i am on the right boot.img having CWM installed and only need to unlock my bootloader, and then i am similar to this kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
and can start flashing the rom ?
If something is going wrong, can i flash back to stock rom using flashtool or wotanserver? or will it brick because i have something to do first or can i just start flashing over with stock rom then?
Thanks for reading, any help would be nice

thanks for helping me guys xD
First of all I am somewhat new to android and rooting, and brand new to xda, so bear with me.
I rooted my fascinate several months ago and have been running teamhacksung's cm9 builds. Every time they come out with a new build, I flash it and all is good. Well I was on build 12, and I just tried to flash build 14 (I forgot to flash 13 when it came out) But after I flashed 14, my phone only boots into CWM recovery! From there I can still flash other rom builds, but that doesn't help anything. I've searched a billion forums trying to find a solution, but nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Try booting into download mode. Hold power button + home + volume down.
This should bring you into download mode, where you can use odin to flash an official ROM so that you can start all over again. Of course, you can also use Odin to flash a custom ROM, but I suggest a stock one for you first and then root etc. and then reinstall CWM.

Darn, I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to that... oh well, after trying several times with different ROMs and different versions of CWM, it finally worked! Thanks for your help!
its not big deal!! my friend dnt worry
dnt worry
your phone is jst lost its bootloader(if u r new than it is a patch which help in booting) so jst google "bootloader for (whatever ur handset is )" nd install it using odin
That's not totally necessary. Wipe cache/dalvic cache and data flash rom... Anytime I have that issue it immediately fixes the problem.

Download CWM Recovery.7z from attachments. Extract Recovery.tar
Download Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.7z (or newer from http://androidsu.com/superuser/). Extract Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and copy it to your SD card (internal or external).
Put your phone in Download mode. Flash Recovery.tar using Odin.
Put your phone in Recovery mode. Flash Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from recovery
Reboot and ready
Thanks developers!
So no need to make kernel un secure?

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?
Android System Recovery (3e) problem

My Galaxy Ace Plus (S7500) doesn't want to boot in download mode
Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)
Is there anyway to root it?
Thanks so much!
Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?

The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?
here is Android 4.1.2 for Galaxy ace plus working

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

Just flashed recovery and i'm having the same issue. Original 2.3.6 installed never touched.
Hey.
I just flashed my Tipo with Jelly Bean Mini Project 5. I dunno what i did wrong, but now it doesnt go beyond the boot screen. Waited over 15 mins. Bigger issue, doesnt even go to CWM anymore!!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying:
i had some other rom installed earlier which was malfunctioning, so i did a full wipe, and then flashed this, and landed here! PLZ HELP!!!!!
Try to flash stock firmware with androxyde flashtool
sent from XPERIA ST21i
did u unlocked ur bootloader? :/
followed instruction?
Yep, i did follow everything properly.
BTW i fixed it after like hours of brain bursting.
I tried flashing it with stock kernel, but to no use. it never went into recovery mode. dunno y, but i flashed it with miui kernel, and the startingsony icon changed and then for that 2 sec timeframe, i got an opportunity to try and get into recovery, and it worked, pheeewwww :victory:
Still dunno what the issue was
Thanks
Hello!
Today I've played with my Xperia L too hard. I tried to change my android to cyanogenmod multiple times. (Again and again bootloop.)
It happened when I've done flashing from the recovery. Everything went smooth but then something came wrong,... Error.
I rebooted it and It stucked on SONY logo.
I used flashtool -> fastboot, flashmode, bootloader mode.
Unfortunately android and USB debugging are dead.
The only thing that still works is CWM recovery.
R.I.P. or not?
(My bootloader is unlocked.)
P.S. Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance.
You did not mention if you tried booting after a factory reset (clearing data and caches)

Of course I tried. System is not even loading up. Everything ends on SONY logo or CWM recovery.
I think that partitons are blank.
I got stock ROM on my HDD. I think i can convert .tft to .zip and then through another phone/adapter do the copy to sdcard.
Is it the same as flashing through the Flashtool?
Hmmm
I already tried to install .zip firmware but "Instalation aborted." after "Instaling update."
Solution?
Phone can't even charge the battery.

To upgrade to Cyanogenmod you need to have the latest sony update for your device. (4.2.2)
You also need to have the latest CWM on your device. For the newer updated roms ( Cyanogen,Carbon....)
And ofcourse you need to whipe everything before proceding..... factory reset,clean cashe and dalvik....
Try flashing it with Thunderzap...
Thunderzap 4.6 is designed for kitkat roms.
Works perfectly with flashing it and running on them.
Best of luck.
PS: I had the similar issue like yourself on start. I was stuck...
The thing is i flashed roms true custom kernels such as THUNDERZAP or PHANTOM...
Never worked true flashtool.
I only flashed custom kernel true flashtool and stock rom.
Yes.
Maybe you won't belive me, but I tried custom kernel sec before you posting.
It works now. And problem was my recovery. It died on symlinks.
And as u wrote I tried Thunder Kernel + Thunder Stock recovery.
Everything went smooth I installed Carbon without problems.
Anyway thanks and again sorry for my average english.
