Hello, can anyone help me please i followed the guides on the forum to unlock my bootloader - worked fine! Then flashed it - worked fine! then rooted and updated to 2.3.4 also worked fine.
Then i downloaded the FXP CM and followed the guide to install that, booted up fine but when am actually on the home page it just goes black and all i can see is the time, battery life etc.. at the top of the screen
Can someone please advise how i can fix this or install another rom over it if thats possible as i can't use my phone at the minute
Thanks In Advance

I am about 95% sure i did because it says in the guide, although i am at work at the minute so won't be able to check until i get home as i kept everything i downloaded in one folder.
Would it be possible to just start again from flashing it, then rooting an installing another ROM ?
Thanks
If your bootloader is unlocked you don't need to root, just flash the boot.img and CM7 zip.

[Edit] By flash the boot.img do you mean type 'fastboot.exe boot boot.img' in the command window?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?
No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

edit2: i removed tz.mbn and then it stuck on boot.img, on fastboot screen it showing [partition (boot) security version downgraded preflash validate failed for boot]

That's what worked for me. Just edit the .xml in notepad and remove the lines he says PLUS remove the line that mentions .tz. Don't forget that one as well even though he does not list it.
REMOVE LINE WITH .TZ AS WELL.

Your bootloader is locked, so you cannot flash system.img, just wait for an official fastboot img

Did you have to modify it in any way? my xt907 got stuck at flashing modem and now i can only get to bootloader screen and i recovery. I need help please someone. I was trying to upgrade so i could use the new cm rom bc i was having crazy issues on the last available version for old bootloader (like google.com would not connect that means no drive or sometimes even gmail).

If you're upgrading, just use RSD Lite to flash the official firmware. No modifications necessary.
I tried and it got stuck flashing modem now I can only get in to fastboot and sometimes into recovery but even flashing a backup does nothing.

Hi!
A few days ago I flashed Gohma rom and smart me, pressed reset device at the settings. after that there was bootloop. I tried to flash stock image through fastboot, it flashed succesfully but now I cannot get out of that bootloader screen. I have tried every stock images but no luck... Whenever I power on the device it vibrates three times immediately and boots to bootloader.
So, do you have any advice here?
In the gohma ROM zip, there's a return to stock script. Try to remove the two adb commands from that script and run it to flash your watch.
It's helped some other people.
