Did you unlock your bootloader??
Custom recoveries DO work with stock rom, provided that you install them correctly.

Yes I've unlocked my bootloader!

It should work if your bootloader is unlocked..
flash the .img file from kernel folder via fastboot...then press down button once when sees the lights during reboot.
then you can flash the kernel folder for working wifi..

boot.img is custom kernel.
not support for stock rom .
must use stock kernel .
yes you can flash boot.img to get CWM and flash anything
then , you must flash stock kernel to make it bootable if not,
your phone stuck at boot . :good:
My bootloader unlock is a no so I cannot unlock it

[APK] Flash Zip Files, NO NEED FOR CWM OR TWRP!

Hi Guys!
Today I'd like to share how you can flash those .zip files without a custom recovery!
All you need is the Flash Gordon APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555
This can flash recoveries, its made for people who have a locked bootloader!
The app is still in it's early stages!
All Credit goes to Androguide.fr for making this awsome app.
THIS APP CANNOT FLASH ROMS!!!
I shared this a couple of months ago in themes & apps section and i have it pre installed in my AVD Rom
K No Problem just making the community aware that xperie e locked bootloader is not dead and can flash zip files!
Yea i was glad when i found it so J users could update my rom without downgrading to ICS every time. So i released update patches

Everything but ROMS!
As long as the update zips are not replacing to many framework & lib files at once.
keep in mind you need busybox installed
use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

without a recovery, no, trying to flash with Flash Gordon won't work out well because many system files will be replaced during the flash and that will force android to crash before the flashing has a chance to finish, resulting in a bootloop

[Q] is there any way to upgrade the android version on a device with locked bl?

Hi guys
Lately I have rooted my xperia mini and installed CWM using xparts. Anyways my bootloader is still locked and i'd like to upgrade it to 4.1.2 at least. So is there any way of doing that?
I'm using stock Ics rom and stock kernel.
If there are custom roms available for your device,you could flash them with cwm

Isn't it impossible to flash costum roms on a locked bl
device? I was kinda wondering if I could flash a stock sony jb kernel. Could that work?
If your cwm is for locked bl.. Then there shouldn't be a problem to flash a custom Rom. The Sony kernel your talking about should be supported by your device. I advice you to check your device forum
Pressing the thanks button is better than typing it.. Be Lazy Think Crazy ?

For custom rom you need CWM
For CWM you need Custom Kernel
For Custom Kernel you need Unlocked Boatloader.
Your boatloader can not be unlocked so it can't Flash Custom ROM sorry bro. Flash ICS from E dual

If you install ICS, you still won't be able to unlock your bootloader.
Deodexing might possible, but I have no idea how.

[Q] S2+ I9105P won't boot into system when custom rom is installed

Hello xda forum,
i own the before mentioned phone and recenty i tried to flash some custom roms on it but every time it wouldnt boot into system.
firstly i installed CWM with odin and rooted the phone, everything worked fine.
but after flashing any custom rom i tried (axxion, unofficial cm11, sazy and something else i think) it stops at samsung galaxy s2+ black and white screen for hours. or sometimes loops the same screen with few seconds of blank screen in between.
i flashed the stock back with odin and it worked fine, repeated cwm flashing and rooting, flashed custom rom. repeated that at least 4-5 times with same results.
my goal is to flash resurrection remix but it said
"Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, SlimKat, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM"
so i tried to flash cm11 before.
also tried the solution i found on forums (wiping dalvik cache and wiping cache numerous times, fixing permissions and all that with no luck)
i can acess CWM and download mode without problem but cant boot into system, only if i load a backup or flash a stock.
bump
anyone? pls help
im out of ideas
First of all, is ur Stock Rom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? U can't flash cm11 or resurrection rom(or any other roms) if u have 4.1.2.

thanks for reply,
my stock is 4.1.2. therefore i need to update to 4.2.2 first?
can you send me a link or something as a guide or ill search for it.
which basically means i need to flash 4.2.2. then cm11 and then resurrection?
or i am doomed to use stock?
Yes, u need flash 4.2.2 first and then custom rom. Custom roms don't work with 4.1.2 bootloader. U can find good guides if u search "how to flash Stock rom"
