Hi,
after I flashed the beta ICS, I flashed another custom rom over it.. now, after that sucked I flashed another custom rom right over it >>>instead of flashing firstly official ics beta again<<<<<
Now the play doesnt boot in OS, equal what ftf file I flash it doesnt quite boot, it doesnt work with my kernels too..
The play has installed ICS on flash which was flashed by recovery menu, and through FTF it has now gingerbread because I tried to backflash it again..
You know what I mean ? Sorry that I cant quite explain any better as Im German.
I just want to use my play again as I really enjoy using all your custom roms..
Hope some1 can help... thanks in advice.
Kind regards from Germany
try flashing doomkernal ics beta v1
Flash the ics beta and advanced stock kernel.
I was on official ICS till now, and I'm not very familiar with android's custrom roms, rooting, etc. I wanted to get JB via CM10 on my phone, so today I unlocked my bootloader on my Xperia S LT26i using this link (unable to post links so google it) Xperia S : Update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Cyanogenmod 10 on androidlegend .com
It was mentioned that I should be having clockwork mod recovery on my phone and used this link to get it - How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Sony Xperia S on android.gs
I haven't rooted it, now it's stuck on clockworkmod and I don't know what I should do! Am i bricked? please help
ps: i used cmd to flash nozomi-recovery.img
Do you have cm10 downloaded on your fone already as a zip file? Or was it last still running ics?

It was still on official ICS, only with an unlocked bootloader, didn't do anything else! I'm a noob to all this so please bear with me
On a laptop/pc. Download advanced stock kernel and follow the guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23181182#post23181182
Then you should be able to boot to ics again and be rooted with cwm. (keep pressing volume up when the lights come on on boot up)
Then if you already have cm10 downloaded on your fone just choose flash zip from sd. If not. Boot back up and download the rom before booting into recovery and then flash zip

Is it okay if I directly download JB rom and flash it via cmd fastboot instead of downloading stock ICS and flashing it?
As far as I'm aware you can only fastboot the kernel file. Hence y if you were on ics you need an ics kernel so you can boot up to download the cm10 rom to the sd card

So now I'll need to download stock ICS rom, flash it via fast boot and then download CM10 JB and then flash it via CWM? Thanks for taking your time to help me out..
You might find that just fastbooting the ics kernel will make it all work again as you've technically not changed the rom yet. Just the kernel file. If not just download a stock ftf firmware file. Flash with Flashtool and then start again using advanced stock kernel first.
Always keep a copy of the advanced stock kernel zip on your sd card. It's very useful even if you're on cm10 as some of the cm kernels wont flash properly

go Binary... root it first and then install recovery for xperia s
Hi guys any 1 can help me i want o install 1custom ROm but i flash and all and they dont boot i dont now why :S
and other questions where cna i fidn ftf files? for stock ROMS?
xd
BUMP
It doesn't boot because you need to flash a kernel compatible with that rom. The kernel file is the boot.img file inside the rom zip file, however, they do not always work. To flash a kernel you need to unlock the phone bootloader and use fastboot.

Yea thanks for link of Stock Firmware , and i know that i need unlocked bootloader for flash kernel but the rom i try to install its for locked phones and i try to install 3 diferent stock roms and then restore the custom rom but still not booting :S
i do wipe and clear dalvik cache i dont know why dont boot
If you flash a stock rom like NXT rom, you just need to flash the stock kernel. You can do this in flashtool, when you drag over the ftf file, check to exclude everything except the kernel for flashing. But then you're probably using stock rom in the first place. Make sure you don't flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone and vice versa.
I had that problem once. The solution was to flash another boot image because the one that I was using was for ICS ROMS and my backup was GB. The boot and the kernel must be compatible with your ROM.
Hi i got this sony xperia ion.
I unlocked the bootloader last night and when i tried to update to latest software version (6.2.B.221 i think) it showed me an error whivh i figured cause of unlocking bootloader.. so i gave up on updating with pc companion. Now im tring to just flash the custom rom and kernel but it says i need rooted device to flash.. so i searched about rooting ion and found one thread that i need to flash prerooted kernel.. one that im tring to flash is .elf file and it's stock kernel, prerooted, has cwm and init.d and says (no OC) but will i still be able to use apps that requires rootd device like root explorer, cpu manager after i flash latest firmware and flash new custom rom and new kernel?
I know you cant understand what i wrote.. so..
My situation
I unlocked bootloader before i update it to latest firmware.
Im going to flash kernel that is prerooted, has cwm, init.d. in order to flash latest firmware
After flashing latest firmware, im going to flash custom rom and kernel that is in (rom).zip file
Will i be still able to use superuser? Or like apps that requires rooted device?
It's my first time using sony devices.. please help this nooby noob
and i appreciate any tips or stuff like that will help me thru finally custom rom
(Sorry about my bad English)
hi guys,
first of, forgive me If I cannot utilize google or xda's search engine for looking a good solution to my issue, I just cannot think of the right keywords to look for.
for several months now, I currently have CM11 fxp334 by pencam and Bootloader is unlock. Recently Im encountering random reboot issues and I think its getting worst and I am not sure if it has something to do with my link2sd, because at times when it does randomly reboots, I lose some apps that are link to my sdcard after booting.
1) Im thinking of either updating to the latest CM11(or CM12) nightly builds (I have cwm obviously) to assume that latest builds have less bugs
2) or is it possible to use cwm in trying to install/flash stock xperia M firmware because CM seems to be a power hog based on my own observation vs stock sony 4.3 JB. If this can be done, can some good soul point me to the right direction please.
I have my rest days, I hope I can use it by fixing my phone. Thank you.
Just flash your stock .ftf file to go back to stock.
You will have to reflash recovery tho.

flash by using cmw, or flashtool? can cmw recognize a *.ftf file?
and when you said that I will have to reflash recovery, I can still use the cmw recovery that Ive previously used with my CM11 together with stock sony rom?

flash .ftf using flashtool flashmode
afaik cwm only support .zip file for flashing
you can have cwm on stock rom when you flash stock kernel that includes cwm
flash it with flashtool fastboot mode
just press thanks if it's helps instead of typing it
