i have googled this and tried multiple ways of installing it but i always get a boot loop. Whats going on?
Hey if you just want to get your phone back again, just flash another firmware from the one you used. Should start up just fine.
have done already but i actually want to install cyn mod. I managed to get as far as the main screen buit then immediately reboots. I cant find wifi modules for latest doom kernel either they arent in his thread.
FLASH KERNEL FIRST (from cyanogenMOD or doomkernel for CM7 etc)
Than flash cyanogenMOD
any other way will make your phone bootloop.
I think you have to unlock BL via SE in order to flash CM..
of course you would likely broke your warranty.
this based on my experience (I'm a newbie too in the android's world). this is what I've done :
1. unlock BL via SE (not all carriers allowed this!)..
2. flash .42 fw
3. follow the instructions given on CM thread by fxp.
it's worked for me.
goodluck.
I've had this problem before. Did you wipe the delvic cache, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in CWM before you flashed the update.zip?
It would seem it was a specific version of cm that was making it bootloop the one from dooms thread 7.2.0 works fine and also the one before the latest stable release also worked fine. I however found a problem with the spacebar on the keyboard when using the phone in landscape so am now going to try arconium and doom kernel its a shame really because cm from what i used of it looked really nice.
Try 7.1.0.1.
I got bootloop too with 7.1.0.2

Aye thats the one i used but ended up having a problem with the spacebar not working in landscape so am on acronium now which is all good but superuser keeps crashing meh always something eh.
at first im also having the same problem,just follow the instruction by FXP : flash bb56,flash fw.42,flash FXP kernel via fastboot,flash update via recovery,wipe dalvik cache,reboot..

I have this exact same problem
I've done everything I was supposed to, I think, and still doesn't work. It boots, shows me the little Android "Welcome!" screen, and before I have time to press anything or begin setting up my device, it reboots into the Cyanogenmod loading screen. I've tried different kernels, different basebands, every time wiping Dalvik cache, etc. and it REFUSES to work. I'm pretty desperate by now because I really wanted to use this ROM so any help is greatly appreciated.
I also followed precisely rashid.fairus' instructions and it still does the exact same thing.

Sometimes you DON'T WIPE ANYTHING AT ALL. Just flash CM and Google.
Works for me on Xperia Acro S.

Wipe dalvik and cache when upgrading to later version, wiping data will reset phone to factory settings and you lose all personal data.

I'll second this!
Even though he says to not use it for Everyday use.. It's rather nice and it's stable for me so far, it has some nice features in it too.
This is the first Android phone i've had along with the first rooted phone and the first custom ROM.
I'm really happy I decided to try this, but make sure you clear the cache, clear the dalvik cache, reset to factory settings, then clean the cache again. It will then take a little while on first boot, be sure to install the gapps too (specific for this ROM) - I think? :fingers-crossed:
I've got my Wildfire overclocked to 768MHz and it's a rather nice boost, just makes it that bit smoother for a few things. I've also got the minimum set to 200MHz from 245 to save battery! :good:
You'll want release 5 of the ROM though, I tried 4 and the Camera didn't work (as the update log says).

Thank you !!! This is my first Android phone and trying this also, I have a few questions if you have the time
first does it matter if my S is on? if so how do I get it off?
Do I install the the gapps before or after the Rom
and you said it will take a little while on first boot??? After I install the Rom my phone goes blank just a black screen, but it looks like it is on can see a little light, like in the background, should I leave it like that and wait????
again Thank you for you're info!!!! it also looks like there is a 6th release of this Rom
I've tried to install this Rom it aborts install I read your Q&A thread where you have the same problem , but doesn't work for me why can't I get this????? what was that about format data?
here are the steps I tried :
Wipe cache partition
wipe Dalvik cache
wipe data/ factory reset
Wipe cache partition again
wipe Dalvik cache again
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
get E: can't open zip( bad) installation aborted

yes just flash them after you flash the ROM. No need to clear cache or do a factory reset if you have installed the ROM and are flashing the google apps.

CM9 is very poor on wfs. I tried and I dont like it.:cyclops:
Hi, Im stuck at bootanimation after installing CM9 Apha 7.
Im having a Indian version of Rom.
Can any body help please.
Try wipe data and flash again
Yeah, bootlooping happens to me a lot...
anyways i'll cut to the chase.
- Boot into recovery
-Go to factory reset
-Do that
- Go back and select advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Reboot
This should fix it.
Edit: Actually CM9 takes quite a while to boot once flashed, try this and wait for about 5 minutes

Hello! I am new to the Xda community, and I have a Xperia S. I went throw a lot of Rom threads and read all, even video tutorial and because of that I got confused. Can anyone spare some time (aprox. 10 mins) to answer me some questions, by chatting or here. Please do not make a fool out of me like some other guys around here.
1. if i go into bootloop after flashing CM10, can i restart the phone and go into CWM without flashing again boot.img, and flash the rom again?
2. if i go into bootloop after flashing CM10, do i have to flash the stock rom using flashtool?
3. tell me a simple way to get out of bootloop.
4. flashing the CM10 on my SXS with built number *.2.55 will work?
If I have made anymistakes by posting this here, i would like someone to take it down. Thank you for your time.

I dont have an Xperia yet, but from reading and experience from other phone ...
1) did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache? if not, try to do it and check again for bootloops. If not possible then reflash the firmware and try to wipe these things directly after flashing the firmware.
2) if you wiped, try to restart with flashing the firmware again and wiping everything.
3) if nothing working reflash stock, boot stock once to see if it is working without bootloops and then restart from scratch.
4) if also not working .... is it the correct firmware? did you forget something?
There are good instructions for the firmwares, if you do everything as explained, you shouldnt get bootloops. But ... no howto is perfekt.
Its mostly trying as much as possible, till you have the correct way to flash a firmware. Bootloop isnt that bad ...
If you have a way which works for you, keep the steps for later flashing and tell the community what you had to do differently or if you missunderstood some points, even then tell it, because that can make these instructions better.

I would say that it doesnt matter which firmware is on the phone, as long as you unlock the bootloader and the fastboot or flashtool is working.
The custom firmwares use the same methods but might have added recovery for easier flashing later.
You should even be able to downgrade to older firmware with unlocked bootloader and flashing the ftf file.
Its only important to wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache that the firmware is working.
thank you very much but still to solve all of my problems:
You said "1) did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache? if not, try to do it and check again for bootloops. If not possible then reflash the firmware and try to wipe these things directly after flashing the firmware."
what do you mean by that? which firmware to reflash CM10? how by restarting the phone? and will i be able to go into CWM without the boot.img?

With different phone and different firmware i had some issues with recovery, specially if i didnt wipe directly after flashing the new firmware without reboot and without reboot into recovery ...
I hope i dont mix anything up. CWM is the recovery (?)
The recovery function is part of the kernel image which is exactly the boot.img.
You can see at the freexperia project page howto install CM10, i cant post links at the moment.
3rd point is flashing the CM kernel (boot.img)
4th point is booting into recovery
From that recovery you can flash the custom rom as described in point 5.
Point 6 is wiping the device, which is neccessary for first custom rom or if you change version (eg. CM9 to CM10) or if you change to a different ROM.
Most bootloops happen if you forget to wipe the device. I am not sure, but most important is dalvik cache, if that one is wiped the next boot takes longer, as it will be rebuilt during boot.
If you get into a bootloop after flashing kernel and custom rom, go into recovery and wipe the device, try rebooting.
If still in bootloop, try to reflash the custom ROM as in point 5 (starting at 4th point) and wipe device after flashing
If it didnt help, try reflashing the kernel and ROM, starting at point 3 and include the wiping the device.
If that didnt help, try to go back to full stock (kernel and rom) and repeat.
But check if you got the correkt ROM for your device.
Play a bit around with the steps, you can even reflash the kernel and leave the rom. I had once a bad situation with bootloops, but they are easy to fix. More important is the part with the kernel, i think there you can brick your device.
But when you follow the instructions you shouldnt have too many problems, just dont jump over a step at the first flashing. But as allways sayd, every custom rom, every kernel flashing can harm your device and you're responsible on your own.
But if you get into problems, write down what you did and you will get help here.
Edit:
"if not possible then reflash the firmware ..." There i had once a problem with a different device. I forgot to wipe after flashing a new version and got into a bootloop. In recovery i couldnt wipe the device fully, something got bugged, but reflashing helped. Reflashed wiped and i could reboot into system. As it was longer time ago i dont remember what exaclty happend, but i think the problem was about forgetting to wipe the device.
Wow Thank you soo much, you lost allot of time explaining this to me, I really appreciate it i understood everything I owe you really
ooh and what do you mean by wipping - all: factory reset, cache and dalvik or just cache?

didnt take too much time
in case of first custom rom, changing custom rom version (e.g. CM9 -> CM10) or changing to a different custom rom: all: factory reset, cache and dalvik
in case of updating (e.g. CM10->CM10): dalvik should be enough, maybe cache and dalvik.
If something not working, do a complete wipe.
As I understand from what I read, you flashed cm10 and are now stuck at boot, did you fastboot the kernel? On my xperia s I always need to fastboot the kernel after flashing a ROM, especially when changing from an ICS to a jb ROM.

No, he has no bootloops, from what i understood he is scared to get into bootloops and doesnt know what to do if it happens.
Hmm, kernel flashing after upgrading from ICS to JB? or all the time?
By kernel flashing you mean the boot.img flashing with fastboot, and its the same file as flashed before?
I've only ever fastboot'd my first kernel, advanced stock kernel. Any others have always been in recovery and never had any issues
Sent from my Android 4.2.2 Xperia S
It seems that you got the wrong Kernel. I'm not sure, of course.
But I had that issue some time ago, and a fix it flashing the right kernel that I found on xda forum. Ohh, dont forget to do the proper wipes.
I hope u solve this as soon as possible.
For some good info on recovering a phone read through the recovery thread in my signature.
Even if you don't have any issues now, you can see what others have done wrong & right.
