OMG! Ive just brick my phone......????
Than you IAmNice, ElmirBuljubasic!
Just yester day when I try to install this ROM > GingerZaraki | V08 and its required Kernel alfs v08a/v09a CM7 | 30-8-2012 or version 8a(recommended)...
Here is my procedure but my phone stops at "Sony Ericson" when bootup.!
1. Ive flash the kernel using s1tool using the .ftf file. It seems to be working in this part.
2. Now Ive go to recovery mode, Full wipe, cache wipre, etc.
2. Run the custom zip update of GingerZaraki | V08, waited....until its done flashing!
3. restart phone, and then..........hangs-up with this "Sony Ericson"..(Ive rescue the cp using SEUS, and thanks it works again, but havent successful yet installing custom ROM an Kernel)
??? Did i missed some procedure during flashing? Will it conflict with the sunbox? Do I need to install sunbox before flashing Kernel or Rom? or just a corrupt installation of ROM?
Thank you for helping.

You didn't flash the kernel because alfs didn't have Sony Ericsson screen. Try revert to stock then start again from beginning, remember don't miss any step.

[Q] Problem with CM10.1

I decided to flash CM10.1 the newest stable v.
That is what i do:
1Root the phone [latest official firmware updated via update center]
2Installing CWM
3Going in recovery and make factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
4Flashing CM zip
5Flashing Gaps zip
6Pressing "reboot now"
And then the phone goes off and that is all. If i hold the power button for ~3sec it vibrate and nothing more. No booting img no error sign no nothing. Cant go in recovery too.
Does anyone have a solution?
I tried it around 5-6 times - black screen all of them.
Edit: Bootloader is locked

Please read the instructions for flashing CM ROMs.
It needs an unlocked bootloader.
Repair your phone using pccompanion, or by flashing a stock ftf with flashtool

AFAIK not. CM uses its own custom kernel (hence the unlocked bootloader) and Doomkernel is for stockbased roms

[Q] problem with kernel and recovery on xperia z

I unlock the bootloader on my xperia z and then I rooted newest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 by following the instructions from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405 . And everything worked as it should. Than I instal recovery and android 4.3 from hire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354328 . Then the problems started, I tried to install app via recovery, but android did not want to boot. I decided to go back to 4.2 with 10.3.1.A.0.244 kernel, but it was no longer possible to root the phone and every time when I install recovery android will not to boot. Is there any idea about my problem. Sorry for my english

Do you want to stay on 4.2 or 4.3, just flash the kernel you need via fastboot or flashtool then that will give you a recovery to then install custom roms. As you are on a unlocked bootloader it is a lot easier to root just search for supersu cwm installation and that will root your device.

I want to stay on official 4.2 but to be rooted, i will try your advice. thanks

Okay then we'll look for doomlords stock kernel with cwm take the boot. Img out if that and flash in flashtool, then load up your phone and enter cwm. Flash rom you need (a lot of Roms are pre rooted. If not then once loaded new rom install supersu zip and there you are done. Kernel with cwm, custom rom and rooted device

[Q] Firmware [KITKAT] Plain AOSP for Xperia T

Hey guys.
I currently have open bootloader and I'm with the firmware Ultimate PureXT v4.0 (4.3 JB) and therefore my disposal Recovery (Philz Touch 6 / CW v6.0.4.7).
The question is, if I just go directly to flash the firmware, with subsequent wipes, or previously have to flash a kernel via flashtools.
In case i need to flash a kernel through flashtools, what use, which is within the firmware or that recommend me?
I feel my bad English

Please can anyone answer? I do not dare to flash directly from recovery, without being certain not brik the terminal, not to have a different kernel that I have.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729509
You mean to install the above linked ROM? Since you already have recovery installed, you can indeed use that for flashing the ROM, no need to flash an other kernel first.
It's always a good idea to make a backup of your current ROM first, so:
- backup
- full wipe (everything except SD)
- flash ROM from SD
- reboot

Many, thank you very much! It is exactly that.
That was my question, the difference in the systems and whether to flash a new kernel, to install the new firmware recovery
As I'm on 4.3 JB not know if I can flash this firmware directly from the recovery going from 4.3 to 4.4 while maintaining kernel 4.3

When you full wipe from recovery, everything is gone from your phone (including kernel), so just immediately flash the zip after wiping to install the new ROM (new kernel is then installed, you won't end up with 4.4 firmware with 4.3 kernel )

Thank you very much. :good:
I always thought you had to change kernel if the system is updated, or wanted a firmware cooked

[Q] Help needed: new Z1 owner, cannot figure out how to get rooted .283

Hey guys,
After hours and hours of searching forums and trying things, I decided I need help.
I just bought a Z1 (yes, they're still for sale) and I wanted to update the firmware to the newest .283 lollipop. Also, I want to root my device.
I have rooted Android phones before, and I have some experience flashing Custom ROMs etc.
As I have understood I have to downgrade to a 4.4 ROM first, to get root. Then my plan was to install recovery and install .283 Pre-rooted ZIP in Recovery.
So here's what I did:
-Flash 14.1.G.1.534 firmware
-Root using KingoROOT
-try to install recovery
-boot into recovery
-install pre-rooted .283 Lollipop ZIP
-phone won't boot anymore.
I am still able to flash the newest .283 with the FTF file, but then obviously it's unrooted. I also cannot figure out how to flash recovery after flashing .283 FTF. (Flashing recovery seems to work, but I cannot enter recovery via adb or otherwise)
So if anyone can tell me what I am missing, please do!

for what i know the ftf files can't be prerooted. so download a prerooted zip file and install it from a recovery. btw if u're gonna try any custom rom, don't forget to backup your drm before unlocking bootloader. That's a must for xperia devices

Thanks. However, I can't get Recovery to work after flashing Lollipop firmware. And when I downgrade and then flash the ZIP from recovery, the phone won't boot.

I succeeded! The steps that led me to this result:
-flash KK 14.4.A.0.108 in Flashtool
-Root the firmware using Flashtool/SuperSU method
-flash Recovery using Dual Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647487)
-Flash the Pre-Rooted ZIP in Recovery
-Success!!
