[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mch277:
Hello all. I recently tried to install the PAC-man JB rom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038994

1. I've only installed GB roms, and never any ICS or JB ROMS, so I wanted a fresh start, so I just made my phone go back to stock everything with Sony PC Companion 2.1.

2. I then used Flashtool and rooted the phone, bootloader was already unlocked, and I installed CWM5 recovery from Flashtool as well.

3. The instructions for the ROM first say to flash the kernel using flashtool, so I clicked the flash icon in Flashtool, I'm assuming the icon with the lightning symbol. I clicked "Ok" to "flashmode" and then clicked "Ok" again here:

I didn't check "exclude kernel" or "no final verification". I just clicked okay and flashtool did its thing.

4. Upon installing the kernel I unplug my X10 when it says to and I turn it on. I start pressing the "back" button, the logo with the blue man appears, the phone vibrates, the LED flashes blue, and I have a black screen, unable to load CWM so I can't even do a factory restore and install the new ROM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need to use the phone today later. Thanks!
