[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...
What I'm doing now:
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

stuck on Splash screen!

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

[Q] from rooted version 2.2 to rooted version 4.0 or more?

Hi,
I was redirected to this part of the forum. A friend of mine rooted my samsung mobile Galaxy S I9000 with a android 2.2 version. I cannot contact him anymore to help me with the update and I am really a newbie in this rooting world. So, I am coming on this forum to have some advice. I read information on rooting your device, in which everything is explained very well, but could not find information on how to update once a device was rooted (probably I did not search in the right place). What I did so far is:
1) Taking backup of my pics (by manually drag and drop the folder on my pc), SMS and call logs (with sms backup + app), syncronized my contacts with gmail so that I can recover them later on and backup the music folder. I installed backup Titanium to back up my apps on my SD card.
But now, I am stuck with some questions (could you guide me where to find the information?):
1) Which most recent version of Android is supported on the device I have? Which version will work best?
2) Is there important information that I forgot to back up? + I have a problem with the backup Titanium app. It could reach my root in the beginning, but then the Superuser app updated the binary and from then on my titanium app got stuck when getting access to the root. Any idea how to solve this? Install an older version of the bin.file? How to do that exactly? thanks! => I could fix this problem by installing an older version of superuser in CW recovery. If others have problems with this issue, I can provide help from now on
3) Is there a guide with step by step procedure on which files I have to download on my pc and which procedure to follow? Or could you advice me some useful links?
thanks!

1) there is android 4.2.2 available for this amazing device
2) you propably forgot to backup efs folder
3)
- 1) follow this guide to get android 2.3.6 to your device: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
- 2) follow this guide to get android 4.2.2 (cm 10.1) to your device after: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
- 3) now you can flash most of the roms you find in i9000 android development forum. i personally use slimrom

copy /efs! backup ur imei n md5 in efs first! copy da whole efs file! or do nandroid backup.
READ N FOLLOW CAREFULLY here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
considering u already done flashing Sammy n CF
prepare for ROM & kernel(optional) hunt! go to dev section and choose which JB u wanted.download it together with cm9.1.0 n copy to root of internal sd.
n make sure to flash cm9.1.0 stable from cyanogenmod website (galaxymtd) first from 2.3.6, first flash will bootloop, go back to recovery with 3 combo button. flash again n dont leave recovery.
after done flashing twice (if flash ended too quick, then flash again). direct flash 4.1/4.2 chosen rom, twice (first flash will come up with error, juz ignore it flash again (bootloop) recovery again n flash again

I followed the guide you mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2149455
in which they install that JVU ROM... then they say at the end that you have to unmount SD card (but that option was gray in my case) and wipe the USB storage and then reboot in recovery and do those 4 wipes, what I did, and then he mentioned that you could install your custom ROM, so I put the version of slimrom 4.2.2 on my sd card and launched it for installation.
However, the procedure started, but after a few seconds already my phone rebooted and now it is stuck at the logo of Semaphore...
What did I wrong? And what should I do?

Should I shut down my phone and try to put it in download mode again to put the JVU rom on it again via odin? is that the best strategy? Or should I do something else? and if that would work, what is then the best procedure to avoid such situations again?

nope, u did rite, but also wrong, ok, read carefully here....
flashing for upgrade is easy if u follow carefully, when in GB, after flashing CF ROOT, flashing to 4.0 (cm9) first (take da zip from cyanogenmod website) but luckily ur on 2.3.6 JVU (if u follow da link i gave), so it will be safe (safe procedure will be GB-ICS-JB), first flash will bootloop, second flash (sometimes) will occur error n third flash will succeed, which means u hav to flash twice or thrice or maybe 4 times! if its bootloop, go to recovery back by 3 button combo (its da matter of when u release da combo button, release it rite after u see da first white bootsplash)
bootloop cause by changing da partition tp ext4, its common
but if u already try to reach recovery n failed most times, u need to flash back firmware n cf root.

Ok, thanks!!!! this worked!!! I justed flashed cm9 and it works. So, if I understand well now, I can just return in recovery mode and install from zip from sd card to cm10 and then for instance to slimrom? Or between 'two' flashes, I need to follow the last part of the procedure in the link you gave me? So:
"Now, what I do now is go into :
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want..."
OR: can I just go to recovery mode and do install from zip without doing that procedure with "wipe" etc?
Just to know, as I am just a newbie in these things!!! But I want to thank you once again for the clear explanations and the good help!!!!

juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.
n yes, recovery need hardbutton except TWRP recovery.

Thanks!!!! Just one small question. I just flashed CM10 in recovery mode and first flash gave error, second went well. Then while still being in recovery mode I directly flashed slimrom and that went well from the first time. Do you always flash a second time to make sure that things went well or this is ok then?

as i already said, flash more than 2 times when upgrading, juz upgrading process. GB-ICS-JB (CM7-CM9-CM10/10.1) is upgrading process.
changing ROM not necessarily need double flashing, but u can do it if ur not satisfy whether da ROM already flashed or not

Hmmm, is probably because I get this error when starting slimrom: invalid IMEI number...I flashed it a second time, but it gave me the same error...

Which gapps have you flashed? Slimbean needs a special package, you find it under slimroms.net.

I will have a look there for that google play problem.
More problematic is that problem of IMEI. When I flashed from CM 9 to CM10 I did not do that wipe of cache and data as suggested above (the reply came later on), and then I flashed slimrom. That I forgot to wipe between CM9 and CM10, can that be the cause of wrong IMEI now? Is the solution now, to wipe cache and data, to flash again CM 10 and to flash then slimrom again?
Or should I just leave everything like that and do a recovery of my efs folder? If yes, any link for this?

Xperia SP 4.3 by DooMLoRD

Hello. I did all the steps in DooMLoRD's post, but there is something wrong. The phone is freezing all the time and really slow. After this 1 message appears "System UI has stopped" and then it works better, but when i try to start a game... "(name of the game) has stopped". I ask other guys, but they dont have problens like that on this ROM.
Can you tell me why is that? Thanks in advance!

Did you wipe your phone before installing? Try to install the DooMLoRD's rooted kernel and do a wipe in Recovery. Then, install the ROM again.

Is it posible to have that problem if i unlocked the bootloader or root the phone wrong?

As long as your bootloader is unlocked root is not important for flashing this ROM. And if you already managed to install custom kernel (for example for aosp based rom) then you successfully unlocked your bootloader. Maybe as the previous post said, try to install DooMLoRD's kernel (The old one) then reboot recovery, wipe, flash 4.3 zip and it should work

I have installed this one: SP-4.3_leak_256-DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel-v1 Is that the new one ?
I found this: SP-DooMKernel-v03 and SP-DooMKernel-v04
Is that the older kernels ? Because i try the kernel in the ZIP with the ROM and there is no recovery...

Guys....
Im trying to install leaked 4.3 but have issue
1.flashed .254 using flash tool
2.Rebooted
3.Flashed Advanced kernel via fastboot
4.Rebooted
but when i turn on the phone after that,it vibrates once and then there is no display.
so i flashed .254 stock kernal but that didnt fix the issue
As of now im on .254 stock ROM with bootloader locked again
Please explain me step by step process to get this done with 4.3 plzzz
Please note that my phone even though was c5302 always displayed as c5303 in PC companion but it isnt now.

Okay! Do it this way
Unlock ur Bootloader
Flash stock .254 ftf
Then root and install cwm by locked bootloader method
( by installing previous firmware kernel ftf, root by doomloard kit, install cwm of locked bootloader then flash ur latest. 254 kernel ftf)
Now just flash the 4.3 rom through Cwm without Wiping anything

Of course, cause u havent flashed the rom yet! You only flash the kernel, not the rom.
Now do it exactly as you did before, but after flashing the kernel and rebooting, tap the volume uo button continuously until you boot into cwm. And then you can flash the rom through cwm.
Dont forget to copy the zip in your ext sdcard before flashing the kernel!
Cheers.

I don't have the Take Screenshot option in the power menu. Is that normal ? Is it disabled by default or something ?

Use this guide first to get root and recovery on .290
Then go to recovery and flash the mondified zip. After flash clear cache and dalvik and reboot. DONE

This is called a bootloop. All you need to do is press VOL UP + POWER, then connect your phone to your computer in flashmode (connect USB while holding VOL DOWN button) and flash .534 using Flashtool

Yep, just Hold Volume Down, connect to PC and flash a Stock FTF.

No just go into recovery, flash the monxdified rom zip and then clear cache and dalvik. I have done the same thing and it works perfectly fine. You can flash any 4.3 rom in this way, as you are on the same firmware.

Monxdified, iHackers and all stock based roms don't need a custom kernel (that's why you don't need to be bootloader unlocked to use them)
Just go into your recovery flash the zip. After the zip is flashed you will get an option to clear dalvik and cache.
It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a custom rom, as it might misbehave. You can however try it without factory reset and then if you see that it doesn't work properly just do a factory reset and flash the rom zip again.
