[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tux75at:
With different phone and different firmware i had some issues with recovery, specially if i didnt wipe directly after flashing the new firmware without reboot and without reboot into recovery ...

I hope i dont mix anything up. CWM is the recovery (?)

The recovery function is part of the kernel image which is exactly the boot.img.

You can see at the freexperia project page howto install CM10, i cant post links at the moment.

3rd point is flashing the CM kernel (boot.img)

4th point is booting into recovery

From that recovery you can flash the custom rom as described in point 5.

Point 6 is wiping the device, which is neccessary for first custom rom or if you change version (eg. CM9 to CM10) or if you change to a different ROM.

Most bootloops happen if you forget to wipe the device. I am not sure, but most important is dalvik cache, if that one is wiped the next boot takes longer, as it will be rebuilt during boot.

If you get into a bootloop after flashing kernel and custom rom, go into recovery and wipe the device, try rebooting.

If still in bootloop, try to reflash the custom ROM as in point 5 (starting at 4th point) and wipe device after flashing

If it didnt help, try reflashing the kernel and ROM, starting at point 3 and include the wiping the device.

If that didnt help, try to go back to full stock (kernel and rom) and repeat.

But check if you got the correkt ROM for your device.

Play a bit around with the steps, you can even reflash the kernel and leave the rom. I had once a bad situation with bootloops, but they are easy to fix. More important is the part with the kernel, i think there you can brick your device.

But when you follow the instructions you shouldnt have too many problems, just dont jump over a step at the first flashing. But as allways sayd, every custom rom, every kernel flashing can harm your device and you're responsible on your own.

But if you get into problems, write down what you did and you will get help here.

Edit:

"if not possible then reflash the firmware ..." There i had once a problem with a different device. I forgot to wipe after flashing a new version and got into a bootloop. In recovery i couldnt wipe the device fully, something got bugged, but reflashing helped. Reflashed wiped and i could reboot into system. As it was longer time ago i dont remember what exaclty happend, but i think the problem was about forgetting to wipe the device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chossen:
Wow Thank you soo much, you lost allot of time explaining this to me, I really appreciate it i understood everything I owe you :D really

ooh and what do you mean by wipping - all: factory reset, cache and dalvik or just cache?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tux75at:
didnt take too much time :)

in case of first custom rom, changing custom rom version (e.g. CM9 -> CM10) or changing to a different custom rom: all: factory reset, cache and dalvik

in case of updating (e.g. CM10->CM10): dalvik should be enough, maybe cache and dalvik.

If something not working, do a complete wipe.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] daddyc00l:
As I understand from what I read, you flashed cm10 and are now stuck at boot, did you fastboot the kernel? On my xperia s I always need to fastboot the kernel after flashing a ROM, especially when changing from an ICS to a jb ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tux75at:
No, he has no bootloops, from what i understood he is scared to get into bootloops and doesnt know what to do if it happens.

Hmm, kernel flashing after upgrading from ICS to JB? or all the time?

By kernel flashing you mean the boot.img flashing with fastboot, and its the same file as flashed before?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I've only ever fastboot'd my first kernel, advanced stock kernel. Any others have always been in recovery and never had any issues

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andremporto:
It seems that you got the wrong Kernel. I'm not sure, of course.

But I had that issue some time ago, and a fix it flashing the right kernel that I found on xda forum. Ohh, dont forget to do the proper wipes.

I hope u solve this as soon as possible.

Google xperia sola drivers for xp u will get drivers from the support center of sony or any other uploader.

Once u get it Go to device manager add drivers manully... select all devices .. custom location search on system.. install.. accept all red flags from system... once done ... restart ur system... connect again.. if not SUCCESS in mtp tgan usb mode..

Could have helped u for searching drivers.. but i am travelling right now...

[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
I believe I did all the steps correctly but it did not seem to work. May have not done the 'immediate' step quickly enough (fastboot oem boot)? Anyway, i tried it a few more times again without success. I seemed to not be able to write the 3 files equired at the end specifically #2 + 3. Now it says it can't find my fastboot flash zip (I renamed mine soff.zip) but it is there...Thought I would give it and me space for a while before I try again. Anyone with any suggestions?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
The soffbin3 is the file inside the zip... You need to pull that file out and flash that the p830000000-dna.zip is the one you leave alone
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
Pretty sure I extracted that but will double check, thanks..
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I already see what's wrong..

When you

fastboot flash zip P8300000-DNA.ZIP

you flash that not the soffbin3 file the soffbin3 is for later
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
I did do that, It looks like I didn't because I renamed my P8300000-DNA.ZIP file to soff.zip so I wouldn't have to type all those characters.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
try putting it back to its orig name and then when your in cmd prmpt just type the P and press tab it will fill the rest in :) (i dont know the exact name so if i were you i would look it up)

if that doesnt work do a data factory reset in recovery and wipe both caches
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
I downloaded the file again and used the original name and still a no go gets the remote 99 unknown fail below

sending 'zip' (36905 KB)...

OKAY [ 3.370s]

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...

(bootloader) zip header checking...

(bootloader) zip info parsing...

FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)

finished. total time: 3.595s

Is it possible I need stock kernal first?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
The remote 99 for me and for .torrented the night it was released meant that we had to start over, he restored a nandroid backup from before the process and I just wiped and installed the rom clean.

Mine was because I goofed and ran the flash zip command line twice after the error 92 I ran it one more time because I misinterpreted the message.

So I ended up wiping and reflashing the rom, going into settings/developer options and enabling USB debugging, and doing the process correctly and it worked right off the bat.

But for me at least once I got that error 99 I couldn't get past it until I started with clean system files from before I began pushing the adb lines after the system reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
Thanks! I tried doing factory reset and wiped all cache and that also did not work...will find a backup from earlier and go again, I did do some repeats of commands so this sounds like maybe what I need to do...
[HTC Droid DNA] rootntootn:
BINGO! That did it. Thanks for everyones help!!
