[Q] Bootloop with nAa10 on X8/E15i [SOLVED!]

Hi!
I had a problem with my smart (if you call me, it reboot, something reboot automatically). I was using GingerDX v21 and v22. I downgraded to 2.1 via PC Companion but doesn't works.
So, I decided to use MiniCM7. I followed this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 and the bootloader unlock tuto too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Well, I did everything correctly, I guess. I see the nAa logo when I turn on my smart and I can enter in CWM-Recovery.
I have installed the MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.7-shakira, MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8, GingerXperiaRay_V004 and PrimeHD20 but I can't pass of boot (bootlooping).
I don't know if I did something wrong. I had instaled too E15_nAa-09_2.6.29.6-nAa-09 and E15_nAa-06b_2.6.29.6-nAa-06b (first I tried v10). I everytime wipe all data.
If I install the original kernel and rom it works normally. I don't know what I can do. I do the same process three times, wiping all, installing, etc. and nothing!
What I'm doing wrong? There are some possibilities of my smart don't support it?

read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071 to go back to 2.1...
then root, install xrecovery,unlock bootloader,flash nAa kernel you need ,and then
install MiniCM7...

try this method
1.root
2.unlock bootloader
3.flash nAa v10
4.then your phone will have CWM and flash the rom minicm7.218
5.flash google gapps gb
6.reboot and see it bootloop or not??

Thanks for all replies.
Well, I did the @kostas_grevena3 method, but I'll do again. Maybe I forget to apply baseband 015! :O Hum...

1. Flashing: Flashtool + X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf (success!)
2. Flashing: Flashtool + X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf (success!)
3. Drivers yet installed from last tries. (success!)
4. Flashing: Flashtool + E15_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10.ftf (success!)
5. Turn on smart, CWM and wipe all (success!)
6. Flashing: CWM + MiniCM7-2.1.8-shakira.zip (success!)
7. Flashing: CWM + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip (success!)
8. Rebooting for first time and...

is this working?

First of all i would like to thanks all the Developers for their Incredible work on this site. I am using this site for a long time it helped me in solving many issues. I flashed many Custom ROMS on My X8 & X10 never had big issues so there was no need to post just becuase there was already so much of information here. But from last 4 days i am messing with my X8 when i tried flashing Jelly Bean Rom. Previously i was using 2.3.7 in my x8.I cant say i am very good but i am not new to these Roms. I actually searched alot but failed so i am here for help. In order to use Jelly Bean my x8 is having Bootloop issue. I follow all the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713 regarding Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136211. I follow each guidelines but still Bootloop . Not only that i cant use any other custom rom now everytime bootloop. SESU repair my phone but i cant use 2.1 now after using custom roms in x8 for longtime, It feels pathetic Now i dnt want Jelly Bean in x8 anymore i ll be more than happy if i get 2.3.7 back :angel:
I tried different Roms , Kernels but everytime same result "Bootloop"
Rooting fine, Flashing Kernel fine,, Rom instalation fine. Had doubt regarding Unlocking Bootloader ( Whether its properly unlocked or not). so Flashtool says Its "unlocked" but it also said it cant be "unlocked officially". So i tried another way to with s1 tools from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23680742&postcount=1 and r is smaller too RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029". Now i am really confuse. tired and fed up 4 days GingerXperia, JellyBread.Jelly Bean everything failed
But i want to add 1 thing which is related to BLU because i cant dial *#*#7378423#*#* service menu from my x8 is that the clue or issue. Plz members help me out. Thanks in Advance.

Please Help

Damn ..
I have tried many times with naa kernel to flash rooms, but stuck in bootlop.
After I found this tread, flashed baseband 15 (I have selected only baseband to flash), flashed again nAa kernel and then custom ROM and phone is working.
Thanks

Hello, im helping a friend root he's phone.
He is stuck at the "Sony Ericson screen"
This is what we have done so far:
- install superuser/bussybox
- Custom recovery (CWM)
He then went into CWM and clicked:
- backup nandroid
- delete dalvik cache
- reset factory
- install zip from sdcard: Presto ... install it...... . .. . .
- Restart phone.
it gave me an error "bad restore can't restart" then It automaticly jumped to another submenu "no" "-yes -- restore CWN" underneath a warning: may not able to access the restore" I clicked yes and it restarted but never got further then booting

have u tried to use SEUS?

we fixed it.
I dont have this phone, so I didnt know you needed to have custom kernel and unlocked baseband.
How can I get the:
1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader

to unlock the bootloader you have to check This
for latest baseband update the phone with Update Service

Thank you.
Where can I find this kernels
nAa AND ALFS KERNEL ?
or do they come with the ROM and automatically flash?

you can find in one of the Development Thread, you have to flash it first with flashtool then you can flash the ROM via CWM..

U means u didn't install X recovery.... If u install cwm its possible u having this problem... Cwm only work on stock rom.... Use flash tool and repair.. Install X recovery....i installed it too.. I got the same before, though it was on that Site.. This will work on stock rom

Do I have to root before?

I am on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and I tried to instal custom rom 5 times ...It iwas not successfully.
Ask :
~Do I have to root my device to install custom rom? ?

No you need CWM recovery to install custom roms!! No root needed cause custom roms are pre rooted!!

Be sure that you read the instructions on installing a specific custom rom, sometimes, it needs to be rooted, but mostly, it doesn't need to be rooted. Yes, you need to have ClockWorkMod Recovery.

you must have S5570_Odin Multi Downloader v4.38.exe and Clockworkod Recovery

Can't install any CM10 or any zip

So, I have a problem.
I have rooted Optimus 2X and installed CWM- based recovery v6.0.1.5 and I wanted to give CM10 a shot...
But, when I tried to install zip it said installation aborted, so I thought maybe it was the recovery, but when I try to find another recovery in rom manager, it says that my phone isn't on the list...
What should I do?

i think the problem is not the cwm but the bootloader... you should know there are two one based on GB one based on ICS and you can't install an Rom for new bootloader (ics) on the old bootloader (gb) and vice versa.
mostly in the post it's told if new or old bootloader.
hope that helped hit thanks if did

have u done this ?
this is from pengus77 cm10 rom thread:
If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 zip attached to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1602866&d=1356865579)
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe)
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual

Not sure your bootloader was locked or not. I suggest, you refer to AIO toolkit thread in dev section and start afresh.

I think his bootloader is locked..also how did u get 6.0.1.5 cwm on ure phone lol?..pengus's recov is the only one that works for new bootloader and the ver is 6.0.2.5:-??

CM10 for which bootloader? If you are on the ICS bootloader, you cannot install official CM builds. You will have to get Pengus' unofficial build for the new bootloader (which has lots of bugs fixed anyway).

Firstly, you will probably have to restore your partitions with the AIO tool now you have flashed a zip for the wrong bootloader.
When you have done that, look in the development section for roms for the new bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
I recommend tonyp's Paranoid Android- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
Or Pengus's CM10 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
There are CM10.1 roms for the new bootloader available as well. Just have a look in the development section

First off, I'm assuming your phone is rooted (since you have rom manager installed). Also what ROM are you currently running?
Secondly, make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed. You then need to reboot into recovery mode, do a factory/data wipe, wipe dalvik cache and then install the ROM .zip file (must first be placed in the sd card main directory) by selecting it under "install .zip from sd card", then "choose .zip". After the ROM installs, reboot the device.

You need a patched v20 (see my noob how to). You cant install cwm on official ics. It will always cause security errors.

V28c this file i've downloaded and installed , with smart flash tool, so i have official update 4.0.4 , and when i select reboot recovery in rom manager , the phone is rebooting and it gave me an error Security Errror

Here's the noob how-to link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
Read through all that applies to your device/current ROM. Read carefully and follow the instructions. That's essentially how I learned to root the P970 and play around with different ROM's.
Good luck. If you have problems ever after following the instructions, try doing a search first. As I have found out, quite often people have run into the same problem before and there is most likely a solution. It sounds like you're still pretty new to rooting and flashing ROM's so I suggest just read, read, read.

Ok , i will read that how to , and i will try to instal v20, and i will try again.Thank you very much , sorry for my english.Good luck

As NOOBY0815 said, you can't use CWR (clockwork recovery) on official ICS. You need to flash a different stock ROM (GB 2.X.X) and then it will reboot into recovery... and then you can flash a new custom ROM.
