I've just installed the Kernel first, then the ROM, and just to be sure I re-installed the kernel after the rom was installed and I rebooted (without booting in the ROM).

It's my 2nd attempt and now it's stuck at the SE text logo AGAIN.

Screw it, I give up :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] x10forevers:
are you on locked BL or Unlock BL

coz i m on ULBL and dont have any problem...
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
Locked BL, I chose the medium overclock (1113 Mhz) version of the DoomKernel.

Good thing is that I can access xRecovery even if the ROM doesn't boot up (I've waited over 20 minutes for it to boot up but nada, it stays at the SE text logo screen)
[XPERIA X10 General] x10forevers:
Here is detailed process for both bootloaders

=> Things you need...

1. Download the Feralab 13.5 from http://hotfile.com/dl/152191000/10dc0f3/FeraLab_2.3.7_v13.5.zip.html

use IE or FIREFOX.....

2. Download the Kernel

DooMKernel for locked BL. - http://www.mediafire.com/?yvu93yb784k4o70

DooMKernel for Unlocked BL - Full OC - http://hotfile.com/dl/140881137/2ca86a3/X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-BootManager-v2.0.ftf.html

3. Rooted X10 and working Xrecovery

Medium OC -

http://hotfile.com/dl/140882840/37a957f/X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-1113-BootManager-v2.0.ftf.html

that's it you don't need anyother files...

=> How to?

1. Take Backup of your memory card to your PC (Both Bootloader)

2. Format the memory card (Both Bootloader)

3. Put necessary files in SD card- ROM (Both Bootloader) + Kernel (locked Bootloader) + contact backup files (Optional for both bootloaders) + Application backup files....

4. Backup of your current ROM (Both Bootloader)

Locked Bootloader skip step 5 and continue with step 6

5. Unlock Bootloaders Only

(Download latest flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/)

Flash the DooMKernel using latest flashtool

6. Flash feralab v 13.5 via xrecovery as said it will take 4 to 5 minute

follow the command on screen...(Both Bootloader)

UnLocked BL skip step 7 and continue with step 8

7. Once u finish flash the kernel via xrecovery(only for locked bootloader)

8. reboot your phone

wait for 5 minute....

play with your phone

don't install anything, not even connect to wifi... (Both Bootloader)

8. Reboot your phone ......

open smanager and install the script as directed by feralab

still don't install anything, not even connect to wifi... (Both Bootloader)

and reboot your phone...

9. Wait for 2 minute after 2nd reboot .....

now u can install anything and everything you want.....(Both Bootloader)

ROM will take around 1 day to get settle as of my experience

u will get good battery life and improvement on battery after 1 day...

(Both Bootloader)

Cheers....

this is the thing as of my experience of installing the feralab from very 1st version i never got any problem untill now while installing fera's ROM hope this will help you....

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

for locked BL there is only one kernel not any medium OC or full OC for feralab so just download the one which is provided in the instruction.....
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
I think there is a few people having issues installing rom on locked BL phones, I would suggest to just unlock BL and use unlocked version, it's pretty easy and I think it's less problematic, if you are installing custom roms, kernels, and other stuff just unlock it and it will make your life easier...
[XPERIA X10 General] x10forevers:
yaa but to Unlock your Bootloader its quite complicated....

and for locked BL its working fine

my brother has locked BL and i am installing every version on his phone

never had any problem mate....
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
it's not hard just clicking on a unlock button?!!

I mean unlocked ver has other tweaks that locked version cant have, so I think people is just scared to do that, I don't know
[XPERIA X10 General] x10forevers:
really????

i almost spend 3 hours on it while i did my phone unlockedBL

if its just to click Unlock button everyone should have it

BTW by which process we need to just click unlock button can you send me a link....:D
[XPERIA X10 General] miper82:
Yes it is very easy now ;) one click and its done. Dont have a link, but it's a flashtool program i Think
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
LoL :D:D:D:D:D okay I dont think it was that easy but I remember I had to downgrade kernel then unlock it and then flash new kernel, but I have seen somebody was working on something, something like with an 'unlock' button? I definitely saw that somewhere?

If I had to unlock it again I couldnt remember it, I remember using 'plugin' feature in flashtool
[XPERIA X10 General] aalvico:
Yes now is easy just be sure you are not using a too old flashtool
[XPERIA X10 General] crushkill:

Batt issue

Hi again,

I noticed that whenever I flash the kernel and the phone reboots I loose all the battery charge.:) I'm talking about going from 100% to 5%, the phone shows red light, and I have to full charge again? wiping batt stats through xrecovery does nothng?
[XPERIA X10 General] FeraVolt:
Ok...lets start...

HOLY F****NG SH*T!!!!

I made it!!!!! :DD

Today i was'n sleeping even if i have exams... but i made ****ing crazy invention!)Ok.

v14 now will run on EXT4 file system,..yeah!:D finaly made it work...being dealing with it more than 3 hours ) I dont think it will work on locked bootloaders...i need one crazy tester who dont scare to brick his phone :D so... for those who dont know.. our phone is running yafffs2 file system by default...and ext4 is the latest **** which supports journaling so after i applied some tweaks for ext4 i got my I/O speed boooosted...yeah!))

Also.v14 has no more swap.. I implemented JIT v2 with Compcache. This stuff is much faster than swap and it dont consumes any physical memory..it actually compresses the used ram... so every 100 MB of used Ram will be easily compressed to ~76MB without any harm!!

Also. v14 will have fully working link2sd , fixed swiftkey, fb and i sholld test maps.

Also reduced rom size t 254 mb

tried to fix all issues...all libs are updated...rom is 2.3.9 now and shouldt be any issues with audio..

Also to free up data partition I moved some part of java sh*t to cache) (it will automatically free up and fill cache on usage) I got 62 F***ING FPS on boost script!!! Rom is rebuilt from 0 and heavily tweaked... i am testing it now and fixing small bugs..) Thanks. have fun!.

[XPERIA X10 General] FeraVolt:
Next time asking for help please mention which kernel exactly you are using and which bootloader.

Seems that you're on locked bootloader.. So v13.5 is buggy for locked bootloaders. (but not v14)

[XPERIA X10 General] asepsfirdaus:
Yesterday i have installed ROM feralab V13.5 on LOCKBOOTLOADER and success, but when go to setting i missing bar of Account and sinc. and volume button when play media sound still max altough try to minimum sound and that no effect still loud. and i bleieve this is pure of my fault during install and flash rom. otherwaise by generally ROM very light and smooth :) that reason why i am very love this ROM.

then i try change from Lock BL to UNLOCKBOOTLOADER, then flash ROM, WOW all work fine and good.

But one question, need for help, why canot fine smanager? do i have to install that app from market or have to flash via xrecovery because i find the folder/script on feralab patch.? waiting for solution, thanks :)

edit : i take file os.tool.smanager.apk from rom v.13.4 and untill now my phone work fine,,and i think its easier flash on ULBL
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
The kernel linked in the instruction is the recommended one, i.e. the failsafe one, with no OC. I have tried that too, with the exact same result. This also means that the other Doom kernels which are for locked BLs should work too.

Anyway, I've tried the recommended kernel linked in the post and the same thing happens. ROM is stuck on SE logo, doesn't move ahead. I have waited 20 minutes.
[XPERIA X10 General] THeLogiC:
guys theres some problem with 13.5 n locked bootloader so wait for v14 which fera is making...:P

it works perfectly with unlocked bootloader
[XPERIA X10 General] ultratoto14:
@Fera

As they are many people complaining about phone not booting because of full overclocking. Would it be possible to have the default install with medium OC doom kernel, default voltages and to have a script for undervolting and another to go to doom full OC.

This way, you will have less messages about boot loop or stuck boot. Only advised people will apply the undervolt and full OC scripts.

What do you think about that ?

U.
[XPERIA X10 General] brigameister:
Hey man just let me know how much time the is "settle" a couple of hours is good enough?! a clean install meaning from scratch? cuase I did wiped everything system,cache,dalvik format my phone sdcard anytime anyone has come up with a suggestion. even flashed the full firmware with the every kernel switch.

So...

After formating my phone flashing the medium version, following the OP, applying swap and reboot , I said good night to my phone and left it in the charger for the ROM to "settle" down I think 8 hours is enough to make the ROM feel cozy enough in my phone.

I am now starting to work on it just for the fun of it I'm gonna download my apps straight from the market - no restore.

Talkbox - no work.

SwiftKey - no work.

Junos pulse - no work.

TempleRun - WLOD on opening game after WLOD no lockscreen, power button menu lost 2 top options - silent mode and airplane mode. - But TempleRun works. (?!)

Removing this line from the build.prop : dalvik.vm.enableassertions=all

as altyer recommanded the apps started working.

Not that it made the ROM more stable.

Reverted back to 11 (most stable version on "my phone") and I can confirm that the line isn't in the build.prop and TalkBox and SwiftKey works (including TempleRun) actually the whole section of the build.prop that handles the dalvik.vm have some other values.

[XPERIA X10 General] FeraVolt:
You guys restore your phones with seus and wait for v14 issue is fixed there..sorry

Good news. EXT4 is forking for locked bootloaders too.

Bad news.. you should fully format your device and you cant restore any data through xrecovery from old releases of rom. i mean. save only contacts and your apps...(without data) somewhe in your folder on sd... no batch restoing f aps with data and no restoring from xrecovery.. all of this cuz this phone will be fully upgrated for ext4andif you will use recovery image from yaffs2 it maybe quite unstable..slow..or even brick the rom.

sd is not neseccary to be formated. only nandmemory

You misunderstand. you can change roms to whatever you want hovewer,,the recovery images will be incompable for example..my data partition and thgo.. I

btw..uploading rom.
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
So what makes you think that there is risk to brick the phone? it sounds like the memory management will be amazing, but I think if anything goes wrong it could cause WLOD's or boot issues, (I don't know much but it sounds like so) what do you think? I guess you can modify the system as much as you can but when you get to modify hardware settings then there is when you can f**ck up? I mean you are changing the file system to a better one, you should just try it with basic stuff and then see what happens, I don't know...:D Awesome work, just remember you have a life mate!
[XPERIA X10 General] xenneco:

With ext4 we can restore data of apk with Titanium Backupt?
[XPERIA X10 General] Patrikh_76:
You're like a mad scientist dude. It all seems so strange to me. I'd it safe or is it big bricking risk :-P
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
I'll give v14 a shot again, will it be working for locked BL's? I can't unlock my BL because I'm running Windows8 CP atm and the ADB drivers aren't working, so I can't use Flashtool. I may look into it after I get my Win7 DVD back from a friend :D

Also you mentioned ext4, will it be compulsory or is it optional, as in will I be able to choose whether I want to format the internal filesystem to ext4 or not?
[XPERIA X10 General] nanodroid:
I doubt it, since it's going to be a different FS, but let's wait and see.I wonder how many FC this could cause with third party apps?
[XPERIA X10 General] baz@gmx.co.uk:
No restoring of data everyone, if Fera is right and has converted whole FS to ext4, then nothing we had before will work, as no one has managed to run etx4 for us before (there is an old thread in dev section when someone started to think this up a while ago)

Fera, i think there is some interesting possibilities, if i remember correctly data2SD could benefit and even whole rom (system2sd) but i know nothing of how these things work :)

Hey Fera,

your story really touched me and your work is fantastic. So I checked wife's PayPal, found some bugs and will send them soon!!

I wish you all the best for your future!!

Thank you for your great work!!

1 question,on 13.5 I had Battery loaded to 100%, overnight with only wlan on (doomkernel), no changes of your config, it drained to 35% (cpuspy reported deepsleep)

I just charged the phone back to 100% in the morning and had no problems over the day, made 500mb of photos while been out with the kids, now still on 30%

Do you have an Idea what happened last night? It is no big problem as I usually charge overnight..

Anyways, once again, thanks for this great job, keep it up!!

The new version is absolutely fantastic! It's even faster than the last one, which was godlike. Everything is working so far, haven't gotten any FC's, even Maps (6.5.0) is working perfectly, doesn't FC on Google places anymore!

Followed the installation post to the letter and everything went smooth. I'm on unlocked bootloader, but I trust there won't be any problems with locked either.

Don't forget to mount partitions after you format them.

Definitely recommend this version, it's flawless!

Great job, cheers, FerVolt ;)
