i'm trying to install jb rom by Munjeni on my xperia sola, i have some doubts here to make sure i don't make any mistakes can anyone please help me here.Thanks in advance mates.

1) flash .54 ftf via flashtool and boot it properly ---- is this the one(MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf) that have in kernel.zip file which we used before rooting or the default kernel.

2) flash any cwm kernel --- can i use this one to flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075093, before this do i need to install CWM separately or only that kernel is enough to boot into CWM,

. flash jb rom via cwm ---- can i directly copy the downloaded Unoficial_Stockrom_JB_Sola_4.1.2__6.2.A.0.400.zip to sdcard or is there any specific path to flash it via cwm.

i have rooted my phone already, is this ROM is pre rooted or i need to root myself again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
1) Yes, you have to flash that first with flashtool, enter to flashmode, select kernel and flash, no?

2) Well, I don't really know if any kernel works for that rom, but I really recommend that use the kernel (boot.iso generally) that is in the .zip file.

The kernel has the CWM, I mean, once you've flashed the boot.iso you can enter to CWM by pressing volume up repeatly (sometimes depends on the kernel, could be a different way to access CWM)

. In CWM you can browse the SD card contents to find the Unoficial_Stockrom_JB_Sola_4.1.2__6.2.A.0.400.zip, it's better to put that .zip in the main folder of the SD card, much easier to find.

I never tried [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] 's JB 4.1.2 ROM, so I'm not really sure if is a pre-rooted ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
As said by manudo cwm is included in all custom kernels

But to be allowed to flash a custom kernel u need to be under unlocked bootloader

I dont think that kernel u pointed will work with the rom u speak about because thats an ics kernel and u talking about a jb rom

And all custom roms even stock based ones are all pre rooted

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tangosierra_:
Its "fastboot flash boot boot.img", not fast boot flash boot.iso.

Its not even an iso file. -.-

Yes flash tool will work (Noob method) but if you prefer you can always use the command line. And always use the boot.IMG found in zip for best optimisation, but other custom kernels are quite good too - if they are compatible that is (ramdisk issues etc)

Generally stock based kernels are not compatible with CM based ROMs, and 4.0 kernels not compatible with 4.1 ROMs. Its pretty self explanatory and most importantly read the ROM and kernel thread to find out more info.

Hello,

I have a problem with my Sony Xperia Go and I appreciate any help given. I recently updated my Firmware to Android 4.1.2 by using Flashtool to install it since the original Firmware is 2.3.6 . And I noticed that notifications from apps like Whatsapp, Google Talk, Facebook etc. have no sound. It shows without any sound until I reboot my device and they work for a time, then the problem goes back again.

Note

:: When I plug my headset, I can hear the sounds of the notifications (through headset of course)

Issues with CM11 for Xperia U

My issues with CM11:

-Bluetooth not working (any info on when it will be fixed?)

-3G connection a bit weak (constantly coming and going)

-when I send SMS the message is always sent at least twice (up to 18 times, even!)

Anyone else experiencing these issues?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Twski:
Bluetooth - little change of being fixed if they port bluez to 4.4, but chances are that it wont get fixed (not enought sources)

Double sms - seems like its Just happening with specific devices... Did you already tryed restalling the Rom? If it dont happens to everyone, the developer won't be able to fix it if nobody post a logcat. Could you try making one?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mister_uaila:
No, still haven't tried reinstalling; I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.

Bluetooth is really bad news for me, as I used to turn it on to connect the phone to my car's speakers...not much I can do here then.

About multiple SMS: how do I make a logcat (and what is it)?

Thanks for your patience
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:

Restore Recovery

Hi,

I have Xperia U ST25i, bootloader unlocked, running stock kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10 and rooted using Flashtool 0.9.8.0.

I tried to install CWM recovery using RecoveryX <http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773227>, but kept getting Error 7 which I presume is caused by DDoS attack on LEDelete's server. I then tried CWM installer from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948455 only to later find out it was meant for locked bootloader.

Now my recovery doesn't work. If I reboot into recovery, the LED Green & Purple briefly; then I get stuck with the Sony logo till I pull the battery out. Since there's no recovery, I can't install any ROM, which was my main purpose to begin with. Fastboot mode does work. I can also boot normally into stock kernel. I remember flashing a TWRP recovery IMG file using fastboot on Nexus 5, but I can't find any IMG file compatible with XU. What are my options to install CWM on my unlocked XU?

PS: I hope overwriting the right recovery would work and I've not bricked my phone.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
That recovery should work for both locked and unlocked bootloader.

You can simply flash custom kernel that has recovery built-in, but best reflash stock before you do it.

BTW is the kernel the original kernel or the one you had to flash for root? If it's the one for root flash your foriginal irmware version kernel back and see if CWM work for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bitterfriend99:
If you mean CWM recovery given here, then no, it is not meant for unlocked bootloader as far as the author of that thread is concerned.

I didn't flash any kernel, I am on original kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10 which I was automatically reverted back to after unlocking the bootloader following Sony's official guide.

I would flash a kerlel/ROM with CWM built in, but problem is, I can't do that because there is NO recovery working currently on my phone! Only way I see is flashing a recovery first via USB debugging/fastboot, then flash a ROM via that recovery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
For locked boot loader means it would work for locked AND unlocked bootloader, unlike for unlcoked bootloader that would only work for unlocked bootloader. Trust me on this one.

Custon kernels can be flashed with fastboot too, either in command line "fastboot flash boot <boot image file name>" or flashtool fastboot mode (By DooMLoRD).

Grab the custom kernel you wish to use, extract the boot image, and flash with either method.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hamza Murad:
You are experiencing a bootloop. however give the rom some more time to boot. First boot is always the longest.

if you have flashed the rom correctly it should boot. this could be a problem due to invalid files, bad downloads or problamatic kernels.

try flashing again.

Hey Everyone..!!

This is my first post here on XDA.

Just got confused reading all the reviews about the ICS.

I live in Pakistan. The ICS update for Icecream Sandwich for Xperia Sola is now available in my region.

So just need some help from you people that weather should I update the ICS?

What problems would I face?

Or should I just use the current Ginger Bread OS?

Just need your comments on it.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bitterfriend99:
I trust you, but that recovery didn't work for me. I can no longer boot into flash mode (Vol Down + Power).

Thanks. If I were to fastboot boot.img for this ROM, would it come with any recovery? The instructions given there are not meant for firsttimers and I don't have enough privileges to post my query there.

I would also appreciate instructions for extracting boot image from a kernel, because I've only seen kernels which are in ftf format. Or link to any other ROM/kernel has a boot.img and has CWM inbuilt.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Why is that?

Make sure the pgone is turned off before you try, either pres power + volume up untill you feel 1 + 3 vibrations, or take the battery out for a minute.

Do no proceed before you make sure you can, and have firmware FTF ready, this is your only chance for recovery, which you will most likely need.

There are 2 kernels there to flash.

No, ROM installation does not include CWM guide usually.

Be sure you copied the ROM zip file to your SD card/internal storage before you flash the kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bitterfriend99:
Actually that ROM did come with a kernel with CWM (Experimental v9.0c4). It was there all along! I was confused and trying to install CWM beforehand because the guide said "boot into recovery" without explicitly saying the recovery would be included in the boot image.

I flashed the kernel's boot.img via fastboot and now CWM is working fine for me.

Thanks for bearing with me!

There could be a problem with your kernel or rom. Try reflashing the kernel or rom (try kernel first (after nandroid backup) and then do a nandroid and try to reflash the rom to see if it helps. If this doesn't work then it is likely that you have a hardware problem (sound jack etc)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CosmicDance:
Hi,

I'm coming from another android device (LG Optimus One) and for that device, To install a custom rom and kernel i had done the following steps:

1)Root

2)Install the custom recovery(CWM/Amon_ra)

3)Flash the custom rom/kernel after making the nandroid backup and wiping data/cache/dalvic cache.

Now, everything feels so different with the Xperia P. I've seen guides for rooting using a tool called 'flashtool' and even installing roms using the 'ftf' files through the flashtool utility.

Now my question is, Do we need to install a Custom recovery? or is the flashtool enough? also can some one just give me the steps to install a custom rom, like how i'd mentioned earlier... i can read guides on 'how' to do them, just need directions on 'what' to do. and in owhich order...

Then you have to install flashtool(google it) and use flashtool to flash the ftf file.

How to use flashtool?

2.connect phone in flashboot(hold vol- while plug in usb cable.)

3.copy ftf file into the c>flashtool>firmware

M Khalil, one question and I really appreciate it.

When creating a ftf file through the process of using SUS, the 3 largest files that are created in the blob_fs folder, are they the files of the CURRENT firmware (eg if Im on GB 2.3.7 when doing this SUS) on the phone or are they the files that are the upgraded firmware downloaded via internet from Sony? (eg ICS 4.0.x). Meaning, when I use these files to make my ftf file, is it the GB version or the ICS version?

Thanks!

Hello,

I just tried to flash freeXperia rom to my xperia P and my phone got stuck. It couldn't load the system. So I tried to fix it by flashing stock rom by flashtool, but it got stuck on 90% and i unplugged a phone from PC, which was a great mistake because now it won't respond. When phone starts it shows xperia logo but then it displays only the image of broken phone and turns off. When I connect the charger, phone will not power down but restarts instead. I didn't find anything like this on the forum. What should I do to recover my phone? Any kind of putting phone into fastboot or flash mode isn't working.

It is always recommended to wipe data and cache when you flash a new rom (stock or custom). As for root, it depends on the procedure you use; I rooted my P some months ago and now I use autoroot kernel and since then new methods which I didn't check appeared, but I'd say that at least one doesn't require data wipe.
