Trying to install CM9 stable, stuck at boot logo.

My friend is currently running Arconium ICS on his Xperia, and now when I tried to install CM9 (Did full wipe > install CM > install gapps in CWM) it just gets stuck at the boot logo (SONY). After recovering the backup of Arconium in CWM it boots up fine again.
Since the boot logo didn't change, I'm thinking CM9 maybe didn't install a new kernel or something? Is there something I can do to make sure that CM9 fits as well as possible? If kernel switching is on the table I'd like to be able to do this from CWM.
Thank you!

is inside the zip file

Do I have to do this via flashtool? No way to do it from inside CWM? Please excuse if this is a stupid question, I'm not still a 100 % sure what boot.img, recovery, kernel and all these are and how they fit together.

Boot.img is the kernel in a compiled file, which needs to be installed via fastboot. Flashtool includes fastboot aswell, so you can install the kernel(boot.img) using it.
Recovery is a certain 'program' used to install custom stuff, make full backups(Nandroid backup) and restore them, wipe/format partitions and some other stuff. Recovery can be included already inside the kernel, but there is also possibility to install it on /system partition for those who can't unlock bootloader and/or install custom kernel.
My recommendation - Don't do it if you don't understand anything. You should go and learn about the whole Android first, get yourself familiar with how to recover the phone(install stock firmware etc), what are the terms that we use, what is what etc, then come back. Else...you might get yourself a nice (temporary) brick and then you have another problem, how to get back the phone.

Obviously you didnt flash the kernel..and before doing that u need to make sure if ur bootloader is unlocked..if it is unlocked then only you can proceed with flashing the kernel and then installing the ROM.

Same Here!!
but Nothin seems to b workin for me!! Ive Done everything as per da instructions!
I flashed the boot.img file which i unzipped from the cm9 nozomi.zip file!!

Dude, nozomi is only for Xperia S device. You installed the wrong ROM!
Go check the supported devices list to find your device's codename.

[Q] HTC ONE V - Cyanogen 9 RC2 - Help with install

Hi everyone,
I have tried searching but was not able to find what I was looking for.
I would like to install Cyanogen 9 RC2 on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757323
I currently have an early version of CM10 GSM Jelly Bean on there, which is missing some of the core features (they will come with time!). According to the instructions though, the zip file is supposed to contain a boot.img file to flash it.
Guessing its my newbieness, but, where do I get this file? How do I extract it from the archive to flash with?
Code:
Rom Installation:
Flash boot.img in fastboot
FACTORY Reset
[B]Flash the ROM[/B]
reboot
boot rom
reboot back into recovery
Flash GApps
Reboot into the system (first boot will take several minutes)
Thanks muchly! As well, if someone can point me to a handy user guide for this kind of thing, that would be awesome. As of now I'm only barely able to finger this stuff out. Took me over an hour to unlock my phone haha

:/
U READ THE INSTRUCTIONS WRONG :/
""DONT FLASH THE BOOT.IMG INSIDE THE ZIP""
U can simply use KISS kernel open :
http://www.mediafire.com/?7hq6ikra7w0kt
open the 1 wid cm9 written in it ..rename it to boot.img ...
this kernel has several advantages lik sweep2unlock and usb host <3

Interesting. So, I take this new boot.img and toss it in my /FastLoader folder, patch it, then fire up my CWM Recovery, load zip from SD and voila?
(I can't check it out now, MediaFire is blocked at work)

:/
read the instructions 1000 times :/
As of now i am out of tim wen free i'll giv u the whole instructions

Sorry, new to this stuff. Please don't hate!
I had just installed CM 10 which did require a boot.img flash, so I was a bit confused with the "Flash the ROM" portion of the install.
So with CM 9, I just plop the zip on my phone's SD, fire up recovery, load, bob's my uncle?

You need to flash a kernel for cm9 go to the KISS kernel thread http://www.mediafire.com/?7hq6ikra7w0kt pick a kernel and flash it via fastboot, just like you did the CM10 kernel, boot into recovery ,wipe data, cache and format system, flash the CM9 ROM and the Gapps, reboot!

Yey! Thanks man. Exactly what I needed. I'm installed and up/running.
Having a bit of an issue with the SD card, it won't detect it. Card works fine in my computer; tried another one as well. Tried mounting/unmounting, rebooting, violently protesting in the streets, nothings working.
I'm not even sure where to begin fixing that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[Q] Some Questions about Flashing

Hello
I’m new to the android world and Next week I will get my Ace 2.
I read most of the threads about flashing but some things are not clear for me
These are the steps I want to do
1. Update to the latest German firmware over kies (I8160XXLK6_I8160DBTLK2_DBT) or Odin (PDA)
2. Install the I8160XXLI2 kernel with built-in CWM recovery from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32682067&postcount=644 over Odin (PDA)
3. Format all partitions (boot, system, data, cache, sdcard) with CWM for a clean system as stated in this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33200246&postcount=2 make a reboot and then flash the aeM_ROM_v1.2 for ODIN (PDA and CSC)
4. Install the I8160XXLI2 kernel with built-in CWM again over Odin (PDA)
My questions are:
1. Is it safe to format all partitions and after that I’m still able to flash after a reboot? Or should I only format system, data, cache and sdcard?
2. After format I’m right that CWM is gone and I have to reflash it with the I8160XXLI2 kernel with built-in CWM?
3. Do I get any problems because the original firmware is XXLK6 the CWM is XXLI2 and the aeM is again XXLK6?
4. Is the CSC file from the aeM_ROM_v1.2 ok for Germany?
Thanks for help

As far as I know, there shouldn't be any problem as long as you follow the flashing procedures...
Since you've mentioned your device is new, Flash it using the flash counts 0 (zero) technique (HERE)
as for my ACE 2, Im using XXLK6 ROM (got the stock rom from sammobile), flashed eX_Kernel v1, flashed Stock Lite aEm Rom 1.2..
all goes smooth and working..
Actually, I recommend this ROM/Kernel because I've tested it myself and been using it for 2days now sinced flashed..
Stable, Fast and smooth..
If you like to customize it more, try to install also the Statusbar customization..
You can find them all here at XDA ACE General and Development threads...
Note: Be sure to install the drivers and working (Install Samsung Kies if you dont have it) so you wont have problems in flashing and detecting hardwares plugged-in into your PC (like your ACE 2 device)...
Please feel free to ask questions between the threads/creator of the files you want to apply, they'll surely glad to help you and guide you through..
and Oh by the way, Welcome to XDA Enjoy and have fun customizing your ACE 2...

Hello
thank you for your answer. i think for the first time i will go with the I8160XXLI2 kernel with built-in CWM recovery because i dont need all the extras from the ex_kernel. maybe in the future
im a litte bit worried to format all partitions (boot, system, data, cache, sdcard) ist it safe? can i still flash after i format all?
im right that the kernel is in the boot partition? so after i format all i have to flash the CWM kernel again?
and thank you for your nice welcome :highfive:

As for ex_kernel, you can try the less extra-fied kernel with TWRP you know, since as far as I;m concerned, TWRP is easier to use.
Here's the link for the old version(but I have never experienced any issues with it):

It's safe to format data/cache and system. If and only if you know what you are doing.

[Q] CM 9.1 crashes continiously

Dear Community,
this is my first post on XDA-devloppers.
I ask you for help as y have a serious promlem with CM 9.1 on my xperia arc.
I flashed CM on my phone using the latest stable rom downloaded from the official cyanogenmod website (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip)
Everything worked perfectly and i was delightet.
Unfortunately, after two days my phone crashed.
By crashed i mean that it first reacted very slow then froze. After this, the screen went black (backlight on) an then dark.
no button could get me back to lockscreen.
then suddenly the phone rebootet.
this happened every time about one minute after booting my phone.
As the problem didn't seem to get away i decided to reflash it:
wipe SD
delete davlik cache
reseting to factory
and then istalling the same rom and gapps from zip
everything worked fine again, but after one day i got the same problem again.
what can I do to fix this?
I would appreciate any kind of help
and excuse me if this isn't the right forum (search also, didn't help)
sincerly,
PraetorAce

You can try the nightly versions if the stable doesn't work for you.
Take out the boot.img inside the ROM zip and flash with fastboot. Then put ROM zip onto SD card and flash with CWM.

I tried a few roms and it didn't work.
with the latest nightley version from cyanogenmod website gapps wans't installed properly and my home button didn't work.
and the roms I tried from the link you gave me abortet the installation.
i always flashed the kernel (boot.img) via flashtool and then used CWM to: 1 wipe davlic cache, 2 reset to factory and 3 install from zip
will it maybe work with odin (or is odin only for samsung devices?)
thnx

Odin is for Samsung devices only. If CM9.1 doesn't work for you then you might want to try CM10.

well for one you already flashed cobrato's kernel so you're ready to flash a stock based ROM like Trinity Vengeance...
if you want to flash an AOSP or CM based ROM like PACMAN or CM10.1 just download the ROM package, extract the boot.img that's inside the package, fastboot flash the boot.img, reboot to recovery [they already have their own recovery with the kernel], wipe data and cache and then flash the ROM package

4 years ago I modified my S.E. C905 ... I developed drivers (Audio / Display / Camera) however only 4 months I bought my XAS ... and I'm trying to recovery the lost time .. sorry for the english, brazilian here xD

bugs will always be there bro, what with all the modding and scripting that developers do on a ROM..you just have to find the right workarounds in my opinion

i really understand that... but this "bugs" about i'm saying is from based source(Installation conflicts)... i just will do a clean re-installing to be sure... maybe when sony release new Update some bugs disappear...
I'll do it tomorrow ... enough for today(1:10 AM here) ... Thanks for help me (I still have to re-format my PC today ... another thing is full of bugs)
...
If you can pass me the setup order to install the trinity ROM with Forzaferrileo kernel i will enjoy it
bye :highfive:

I have a doubt now ... to flash the. TFT file, making a clean re-installation, what i need wipe, format or do the factory restore? in what order?
and after that.. I'll have to do the root again? ... neither the unlock the bootloader? ...

what i did when i flashed trinity was:
flash cobrato kernel

wipe data/factory reset and cache
flash trinity rom
reboot to system
if you wanna flash forzaferrarileo kernel after flashing the rom just fastboot flash it or use flashtool..i dunno if you can use forzaferrarileo kernel to flash the rom, but i beleive you can do so since it has cwm recovery already

Make sure you have the latest version of Flashtool.
