Use version 5 or below... The newest version doesn't work correctly.

Root GB 2.3.3. Use CWM Installer v5 to install CWM. Flash NXT Lite rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067356&highlight=cdma. It work with stock kernel, which is why you don't need to unlock bootloader. But remember its free to unlock it from Sony site. Personally I recommend using Flashtool to update to kernel 2.3.4, when you flash the ftf you can uncheck everything, but the kernel.

Hey guys I stumble on. Installin nxt rom I get a error saying md5 Mismatch u guys know nthing bout this? Thnx

It mean the checksum didn't match up which mean the rom file is corrupt. Do a disk check on your sdcard.

Also make sure if you are downloading a flashable rom or a Nandroid backup. If it's a nandroid you have to put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and Restore it.

If you changed or removed a system file on your stock rom, whether it was a browser or one of the gapps, you'll get an md5 mismatch. This has happened to me on one of my tablets, I flashed a stock factory rom to put everything back into order, then flashed the custom rom after, and all was well.

Thnx guys I will try the scan disk on card see if it work when I get home ... N I never removed anything from previous stock rom so I dnt know ... also so a terminal emulator fix but dnt know how to do it I'll keep u guys posted
thnx

Follow the instruction from the rom thread, it's a nandroid, you have to restore it, not flash.
Sent from XDA app

Alright so after trying all kinds of stuff I found a fix for md5 Miss match .. I simply just took all the spaces of the folder name .. example: rom super 1 I just renamed romsuper1. OK so I followed the rom tutorial and all went good but after I rebooted it started with Sony Ericson logo then a Expedia logo the went back to Sony logo then Expedia logo n so so it wouldn't boot ... so i did the same process again ass tutorial but this time didn't clean dalvik cache like tutor said too before reboot. And it started fine .. my question is .. is my from now messed up maybe cuz I sent clean dalvik? Should I do all over again? I appreciate all patience and help

So did you restore the nandroid backup and booted into the new NXt rom successfully? Then you should just do a factory reset.
Before you flash a rom or restore you should always do a factory reset or the phone might not boot, in CWM this is equivalent to choosing "wipe data/cache", this will encompass the wiping of dalvik cache which is contained within /data partition. Doing this will clean off personal data.
Sometimes you have to "wipe /system partition" as well, this is equivalent to wiping C:/Windows, as in the entire OS is gone. Then you have to restore a nandroid or flash the rom otherwise the phone has no OS to boot into.
You can choose to wipe only cache and dalvik cache, these are just temporarily files. I do it before making a nandroid backup.

Yes I got it to work successfully.. but I did not do a factory reset after.. wouldn't that wipe the from I just recovered? Thnxs for all ur help man.

[Q] Unable to restore backup... :(

Hello Frnds,
I was using XperiaMod 6 with DooMKernel v19 and thought of flashing the KA06 ICS. So I backed up the rom using CWM and flashed the Doom's advanced kernel for ICS, rebooted the phone and flashed KA06 ICS.
After installation, I didnt found it as good as XperiaMod 6 so I thought of going back to the same. I again flashed DooMKernel v19 and went to CWM, flashed factory data/cache/dalvik cache and tried the restore option.
But as I selected the backed up rom from SDcard, it gave me MD5 mismatch error... I mean, I had the same kernel which I previously used for XperiaMod6 then y it is showing error like this. I had to reflash the Rom again and restore my data using Titanium backup.. But y did I get such error? Please tell me.. Thanks..

Must be a corrupt file sorry mate
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
I had the same problem! The thing was, that the name of the folder containing the backup files can't have space. I mean the folder needs to be named "My_Rom" instead of "My Rom".
I don't know why it is like that, but hope it helps!
oh! is it?? I never thought that can also be d cause of problem..
Maybe I had kept spaces... I dont remember now as I deleted the folder from CWM recovery folder as I thought it is of no use..
Anyway, thanks alot bro...

Touchscreen not working on stable CM9 FXP133

I installed the stable cm9..flashed the fxp133 kernel..the installation went smooth but my screen touch function is lost..Any ideas??
Eventually restoring to the stock kernel with JJ hybrid..and yeah the touch is working with this one. So is the problem cos of the kernel or the ROM??
I ll tell the sequence which i followed..let me know where i went wrong..i downloaded the ROM, extracted the boot.img, copied the original cm9 zip into the root of SD..used fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img..then went into CWM..wiped out SD data..then cache..and then dalvik..and then proceeded to install zip from sd..it installed fine..and then i rebooted..it showed d FXP kernel logo and then CM9 bootscreen and then it loaded like it should..BUT the touchscreen isnt working at all..the hardware keys-power and back i checked were working but not the touchscreen..
Where did I go wrong..i am on baseband -72..bootloader unlocked..
You've installed correctly. Possibly a corrupt download, try re-downloading the zip.

I downloaded both official stable CM9 as well as the FXP one on uploaded.to...tried with each of them but with the same result..both cant be corrupt n it wouldnt have extracted if it was a corrupt download anyways..m still wondering whats wrong..
Also I flashed doomkernel and tried installing..again the same..touchscreen still doesnt work..aarghh..
Flash the kernel, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, battery stats and flash cm9.
It should work...

Wiping battery stats does nothing to your phone. It doesn't change anything, it doesn't affect anything. It cannot be the problem.
Then what do u think the problem is..infact the installation works fine so i think i m not messing up anything on that front..

Probably best to use flashtool to flash stock ics rom and kernel, then cm9 kernel/rom.
I would try another Kernel ... do you have an Arc or Arc S ... does someone know if it makes a difference ?

What you need to do is reboot the phone when the boot logo comes on continuously hit the back button... That should get you into recovery. Then install rom from sd.

When you flash a kernel it removes everything you had on the phone... Thats why you have to do a backup before... But if you didn't its no big deal unless you had apps that you don't have backed up.

You don't have to unzip it. Just throw the whole zip into sd card then flash it with CWM.

Q:- So Important Xperia S WiFi Not Working

I Installed Paranoid (Last Ver.) WiFi Not Working ..
Then... I installed Nova ( Last Ver..) WiFi Not Working..
What i Have To Do
How is it not working? You can't acces wifi settings? Scanning doesn't result anything? You can connect but internet still doesn't work? Which kernel are you using?
Try re flashing this way....
Assuming you did a backup before... (and was on pac18)
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dvalik
Format system
Flash rom
Fix permissions
Reboot up to start screen (as if it is first loaded screen)
Hold volume up and power to reboot into recovery.
Advanced restore the data only from your backup.
Wipe cache and dvalik again
Reboot
(will probably work from just backing up what you have now)

I'd say do a nandroid backup from recovery so you'll have it booting up again. If you have a backup that is.
Then either flash or copy the files don't think you have to do both. And its usually safer to flash as you'll gett the right permission on the files.

I Guess you are on Un locked Boot loader.
You can flash this kernel, i think its pretty stable and working fine. You will get TWRP too. Or Not, its your wish. Anyways Both will work.
Now, What i normally do is delete the files in phone memory.Then boot into recovery do a factory reset or Mount /system , /cache, /Data and format. Triple format to make sure everything is wiped. Factory Reset wont be enough.
Now flash the ROM which you like. It will be like fresh installation, there wont be any leftovers from previous ROM. :laugh:

Same here bro, mine is BL unlocked. Im now running on stock rooted ROM and using the same kernel i sent you in previous post.
so its stock kernel and stock ROM. and advantage is you have TWRP with the stock kernel.
