Gin2JellyBean Stuck on Boot

I have installed Gin2JellyBean on my R800i, but it does not seem to work.
I have flashed DooMKerneL, and using CWM, I flashed Gin2JellyBean. I rebooted my system, and it got passed the DooMKerneL, but it always resets itself after a minute of staying on the Gin2JellyBean boot screen.
How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Make sure you format the data, cache, dalvik cache, and system partitions before you ever flash any rom.
I recommend flashing the latest stock ftf firmware for your phone, reboot and reactivate your phone, then flash DooMKernel. Once you've done that, then format all that I mentioned above in the recovery, THEN flash the firmware, then reboot.

Would R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced.ftf be considered "stock"?
(Sorry, I can't post links yet )

Yes. Reflash stock except kernel since you flashed kernel already. Then go to cwm wipe everything and flash Rom.

Nope, still doesn't seem to work. I have tried different roms that are also build off of a Stock GB, but none of the worked, only DiXperia 2 worked, but no WiFi.

Please Help

Hi, i was helping a friend install a custom rom, on his xperia s. And seems i might have messed up. i need help urgently. i rooted the phone and installed cwm. i can access the recovery. i tried flashing Hybrid MooDeD JB-ICS but the phone doesnt boot.

Ok if you can access recovery then get out the sd card and put it in another working phone then add few more default ROM-s and try them till it's boot.because maybe problem is kernel and you dont know what kernel is in there.
Or just try to flash an other proper kernel.

First of all, don't post questions in the development section, to answer your question, read the guides and stickys which should have been your first port of call.

no real need to put sd card in another phone.
just boot into cwm, goto mounts and storage. and look for something like mount USB storage.
and voila, your sd card will appear on your pc.
p.s try wiping /system from mounts and storage and flashing rom again

First if you want a custom rom on your phone, you will probably need a custom kernel ass well . Kernel is the bios for your phone and rom the OS. Go to the Rom thread and read there witch kernel is recommended for that rom. After flashing the kernel, go to CWM (Recovery) and flash the custom Rom and finally flash the wifi modules associated to that kernel.
CM based Roms does not work at all with stock kernels, they have their own kernels.
If you want a recommendation (for Kernel, Rom, baseband) look in my signature, you have links included !
Don`t forget the procedure for installing custom Rom (wipe everything : factory default, /system, /data, /dalvik) and only after wiping all install the rom.

Problems (assumed):
1. Locked bootloader
2. Didn't flash kernel
Fixes:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash kernel via flashtool.

Problem with wiping dalvik cache [XperiaS]

Hi!
Sometimes i cant wipe dalvik.
For example - used XZXperience 1 and wanted to install XZX2, tried to wipe dalvik (can wipe other stuff), but cant, just nothing happens when click on Wipe dalvik.
Using KA kernel 8
Only solution is to flash stock firmware and do all process again, what im doing right now

Tried, not helping.

Try manually by:
Using a file explorer go to data>dalvik-cache and wipe everything reboot to recovery and to what you need there

flash ics17 kernel, then try again.

Same prob.

This problem related to the kernel you are using.. flash Advanced Stock ICS or Stock+ Kernel and then try again.

I tried, it wont help. Still cant accsess dalvik cache wiping.
Like i sayed: only solution is to flash stock firmware, then root it, and then works. If i flash KAv8 or other stock ICS kernels, then problem comes back.

Go to recovery ,advanced option and mount cache. Than try it again.

stuck on sony logo

When you install a custom rom install the kernel provided with that rom and read the instruction on that specific rom how to install

am doing all the steps mentioned, and am still on locked boot loader.

thats your problem you cant have custom roms on locked bootloaders.

when you install other custom roms you should follow those steps
factory reset
cache partition wipe
wipe davlik cache (cwm>advanced)
(i also format system but its optional)
install rom zip
reboot... i do this and i have never stuck on sony's logo

Install stock rom with flashtool (wipe everything). Root it. Install CWM. You should then restore whatever backup you have...
