I flashed using cwm a custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/xperia-z1-rom-tipo-dual-lb-ulb-users-t2927997) , specifically the S.P.3. I followed the installation as advised but after the installation finished when I rebooted the system wouldn't power on. The only thing it does is it vibrates as if it would power on and simultaneously the litlle light flashes green for one sec. I chose the intuise kernel and most xperia z1 settings. I ve got a nandroid backup but how can i flash it?
do you have an unlocked bootloader?

if your bootloader is locked, then you can't choose a custom kernel from the installer, i am the rom dev and i mentioned this problem specifically, and i said: if your bootloader is locked, then please choose "Stock kernel" in the installer, and i wrote it in big font.
now you need to re-flash stock rom using flashtool, and then proceed with rom installation again, and choose "Stock kernel" in the installer.
i hope this helped :good:
Thanks I have already manage to reflash using flash tool but it was a bit difficult as the only roms it recognizes are the .ftf ones. Anyway thanks.

Hello guys,
Need help!
Flashed my Xperia J with CM10, FXP212.
Problem: I don't get network service.
Bluetooth and WiFi seem to work fine.
Thanks for any help
Edit: (If this helps in anyway) I dont see the FreeXP logo on startup, instead I get a green colored battery logo with the LED glowing red and then the CyanogenMod logo.
Edit 2:
I tried restoring the stock ROM from my backup.
The CWM recovery screen says restore complete. So I say" reboot now". It vibrates and then there is nothing on the screen except for the LED glowing red.
So I remove & re-insert the battery. Switch it on, but I can only enter recovery on purple LED glow. It always enters recovery.
So all I am able to do now is enter recovery and nowhere from there
What am I doing wrong?? Help guys!

Hi saitri,
Thanks for the reply.
There was no network lock on the stock ROM.
Maybe I miss something here. What exactly is network lock?
JL.93 said:
Maybe I have the solution! Try this:
1) Flash stock rom ICS
2) Flash CM10's kernel with Flashtool
3) Various wipe
4) Flash CM10 with CWM
Fixed?

I tried doing that earlier but landed into a bigger problem.
I can't boot in. It always enters recovery. Tried restoring the stock ROM from my backup but didnt work, It doesnt boot. So I press the 'Vol Up' key and it enters recovery.
What might have gone wrong here??

Hi saitri,
U can flash a stock ROM, either ICS or JB using flashtool. Your phone will be unrooted. Bootloader remains unlocked.
You can then root it and install any other custom ROM. Though I havent installed a custom ROM yet after flashing the stock ROM.
Will let you know when I do it. Meanwhile you can flash a stock ROM. Let me knw if u need any assistance.
All those who replied: Thanks for your support and time.

This is working cwm for jb!
If you have unlocked bootloader,no need to install cwm... just flash boot.img (you can find in my mediafire folder in signature) . Cwm is included! boot.img is kernel for custom rom cm10! Without him you get bootloop!

Hello all, I am trying to stick a recovery such as Clockworkmod on my Xperia J which is currently running stock JB rooted and unlocked boot loader. I have been able to get a recovery easily on my previous devices but this one stumped me and it's a real shame as I was planning on flashing AVD rom. Tried all methods here in xda and loads of other but can never get it to work. Can someone give me a link to one that worked for them with detailed instructions on how to do so? It would be much appreciated

I m looking to get a better stock based ROM.. Suggestion?
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
If you are using A rooted Xperia J I can only say thanks to gavster26 that ROM rocks Install AVD ROM, no lag at all ( due to Supercharger V6 ) install the Supercharger V8 and get better performance, the ROM is also stock based JB with Xperia Z media apps and pre-rooted for convenience, a few errors of the ROM is that in the lock screen a tricky way to get in is to pull down the status bar and go to settings, and whala your in, some buttons seem overlapped, ( The one in the clock )
I am Running on Xperia J Powerd by AVD ,
BTW you dun have to flash boot.img since there is a batch file to install CWM on Xperia J (The latest of course) the previous had an error on booting which means its stuck at SONY logo

Buddy...just enter recovery...you know how to enter Cwm right...then there is an option to wipe data/format. Select it to wipe data...this will reset your phone..
Thank me if I helped you...
@fonetalker101 To boot into CWM turn off your phone then turn it back on when you see sony logo continuously press volume down button untill you enter recovery. when installing CWM make sure you are "ROOTED" and have usb debugging checked in developer settings.
Hey there guys, this thread is noob friendly and is made especially for those of you who just got their first Sony phone and decided to flash a custom kernel or rom.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, use this tutorial at your own risk.
Things you'll need:
- Xperia L with Unlocked Bootloader(ofcourse haha) Look here on how to unlock your bootloader.
- Flashtool
Installing a kernel (This tutorial is for 4.2.2 only, that is 15.3.A.0.26+)
1. Download phantom kernel from here (both Phantom_modules.zip and the boot.img) Place the "Phantom_modules.zip" into your phone (sd card or internal storage) Or you can use any other kernel's boot.img
2. After installing flashtool, or if you already have it installed, open it and click on the Flash icon (the first icon from the left)
4. When it asks you to choose a bootmode, select fastboot mode and press ok.
5. After all this has done turn of your phone (Xperia L).
6. Get out your usb cable and plug it into your computer while holding the "volume up" button. (notice your phone will glow blue below, this means that it is in fastboot mode.)
7. On the pop up window where it says "By Doomlord", choose "select kernel to flash". Locate your boot.img file that you just downloaded a while ago and select it.(Notice if the boot.img file is not showing up in the file menu, on the right cornor make sure the file type is set as "*.img")
8. Be patient and wait till the kernel has been flashed, should take no longer than 10 seconds.
9. Now select "Reboot device into system" and wait for your phone to power on, now once it's powered on without any problems turn it off. Now turn on your phone and wait for a purple glow then hold down the "volume down"button. Now you'll be in CWM (clock work recovery mod) Once you're here select install from zip. Locate your "phantom_modules.zip"(or the zip file, of your kernel choice) and select yes. Wait for it to be flashed and then go back and, reboot sytem.
10. From here you can flash any kernel/rom via CWM, like Thunderzap or civic. Just boot into cwm, select install from zip and locate your kernel zip file and hit install.

Hit thanks if this helped you out.
I don't think that's needed to be Phantom Kernel, or any other in specific, since the kernel provide a recovery with the possibility to flash a zip, it's ok (correct if I'm wrong).
I had unlocked my bootloader, then flashed the boot.img inside of the flashable zip from ThunderZap, then, rebooted to recovery right way, and flashed the entire package from ThunderZap.
Regards and thanks for the helpfull post!

No probs
Well it was the first kernel for 4.2.2 and that's why I put it up instead. I know we can use the boot.img from thunderzap too but if I'm not specific enough most of the noobs wont understand. I also chose that kernel because it comes with a recovery so then you can just flash other kernels via cwm.
Complicated - with properly installed drivers you can start flashtool with usb-cable plugged in. After clicking the flash icon choose "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)".
When the phone is in fastboot mode (blue led) choose "Select kernel to flash". No need to turn off the phone and play with cable and vol-down button...

Sorry for noob question, but in step 9, can I skip the flashing "phantom_modules.zip" part and keep the stock kernel?

Ignore this. I thought it was CWM only. I should have researched more before installing this. But I installed it and it is working good.

Thank you very much for this useful guide.
But I' ve two things to say:
1_If I didn't flash the phantom kernel can I flash a custom ROM.
2_Please the link for boot.IMG is not working they don't find the file could give me a working link.
And thank you very very much.

Flash any (4.2.2) stock rom and try again. That's why your WiFi probably isn't working. Either that or you didn't flash the kernel zip file (ex thunderzap4.1.zip) after fast booting the kernel img.

I am also facing the same issue where wifi is not working on any Rom. So after following the steps mentioned earlier. What exactly should be done like boot to recovery then flash gapps and then reboot. Once booted flash boot.img from the Rom and then boot to recovery to flash the full kernal zip package..?

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.
