be sure that your bootloader is unlocked and you are trying the correct rom and kernel.
please check your kernel version. if you are in custom kernel ,please reflash it.
maybe you are trying to install wrong rom.
if the problem exists, try to back to stock rom and kernel.

What rom are you trying to install?

First u need to root ,

[Q] Cant install any custom rom! :(

Dear friends,
I always stuck at SE logo whenever I try to install custom rom. Here is what I do:
1. Root My stock 2.1 with Flashtool
2. Install Busybox with flash tool
3. Copy xrecovery's 3 files to system/bin
4. Restart in xrecovery and Choose Install custom zip
5. After installation, I reboot and stuck!!!
I have tried "MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip"
Any Help?? I dont want to unlock my bootloader.
Thnx
"MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip" uses custom kernel.must on unlockbootloader
use gingerdx v29 for stuck

Did you do a full wipe?
Skickat från min ST18i via Tapatalk 2
Find some help here ... don't use xrecovery, cwm is better ... and use gingerDX stock... my recommendation

No,its like xrecovery
So,use cwm,full wipe before installing and check(at the about phone) your baseband,it should be like this, xxx15,if its not, update it with pccompanion or flashtool

No, how to do this?? is there any risk of hard brick?
No just find the baseband file and flash it on flashtool
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
i recommend to you to start from scratch, 2.1, root, flash baseband, install busybox, install CWM recovery, the full wipe and flash rom, you can flash the baseband with flashtool, and i think there is no risk, i have done it several times, the baseband xxxx15 is required to flash custom roms.

If you have installed gingerdx there is no need to flash baseband xxx15 because you already have it!

Did you flash the overclock module? If yes,use setcpu or similar apps to change frequency
I don't recommend overclock,but if you want it that much...its your phone after all...

actually you don't need to wipe after installation (unless stated otherwise in roms instructions) i never do and so far i didn't have any problems

It acts as a safeguard against bootloops after flashing custom roms.... and in most of it it's written....
