What am i gonna do now with my phone?

Hello guys!
I recently tried to update my rom to my xperia x8 and i chose ICS minicm9 - shakira 3-0-4 for xperia x8. I unlocked my bootloader succesful and i installed the nAa kernel version 2.6.29.6 to my phone (i forgot to say i ve already rooted it and did a backup file with xrecovery).
Anyways the phone stuck at the sony ericsson screen after the kernel screen and never opened... I opened CWM , made a backup , wiped the data and tried to install the ICS but every time i tried (3-4 times) i got an error : "Can't open /sdcard/MiniCM9-3.0.4-shakira.zip (bad) Installation aborted". I tried to do my xrecovery backup but CWM couldn't find any backup files! I tried to connect phone with PC companion in flash mode but it recognises it as an xperia x10 and i can't do anything with it!!! I tried everything pls help me!!!:crying:

first of all.... cwm will never find the backup made by xrecovery because they are in different folders... for cwm to find them take the backup folder from xrecovery folder to the clockworkmod folder...
and then
reflash the kernel and try installation again to remove that stuck at SE logo problem.....
you need to install """"nAa ICS"""" kernel for miniCM9.... i think you installed nAa GB kernel and that is what creating problems..
try installing rom after that if it shows error there is some problem with the zip file i suppose... tell me if it gives error after this and see if it gives status 6 or status 7 error..
anyway you will have to redownload the zip..something might have went wrong during download.
and the flashtool recognizes it as x10 because you set it that way...reinstall it...
when it asks you do you want to "permanenty identify device?" i think you selected x10... next time it asks you select X8

Here's my opinion. I'm not sure how but if what you say is true, that you're running nAa ics kernel, it shouldn't be stuck at the SE logo. 2nd, if you're on a custom kernel, you won't have xrecovery. Third, our phones, after flashing kernels are recognized as X10's, not X8's.

@CnC-ROCK xrecovery backups can't be restored that way. i tried and failed
@OP if you've successfully installed nAa-ICS then you should not see the SE logo. try reflashing and wiping cache partition.

Well nothing worked! I have the proper kernel for my device and everything but i can't install the ICS and i did what you said me about the restore but it told me something about MD5 (doesn't match i think or something)

Reflash stock kernel.Then flash the ROM again. And finally flash your kernel back.
Please Press The Thanks Button
It's my matter how I send this.

Please stop telling me to reflash again! I told you i did it many times and nothing worked! Please tell me how i can change to the basic kernel and then i ll do the process again from the begin , as nothing works! Thank you!

Download flashtool and stock firmware then flash firmware through flashtool

He actually said don't tell him to reflash custom kernel. And to be honest if he's seeing anything with Sony on boot then he definitely isn't flashing right.
OP how exactly did you flash the ICS kernel?

download the file again, sometimes it happens when the file is not properly downloaded.

@op try to restore with pccompanion.
If you can't do this,you have to flash (stock kernel and stock rom)

I connext my phone to the pc with the usb then i open flashtool and select xperia x8. Then i click the flash icon(1st icon) and click flashmode i select the kernel i want and then i click "ok" i wait til it says me it's done and i unplug the usb and reboot my phone.

Sorry for reposting but it has been quite a lot of time i ve posted and none respond! So! I flashed the stock kernel and backuped (the person who told me to do it took a "thank you") and now i want to redo the process... What do you suggest me so that i won't stuck again on this step??

follow instructions!!? (I guess..)

Guys i tried again today and now i get another error!
CWM says :
Installing /sdcard/update.zip
Finding package...
Opening package...
E: opening /res/keys : No such file or directory
E: Failed to load keys
Installation Aborted.
Now?

didn't see all posts ... nvm

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.

Actually first i have installed the ROM and then kernel (is like that in the instructions)
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 ?

[V][4.1.2][9.1.A.1.140] Impossible to flash custom rom

Hello,
Since yesterday I am trying to install a custom rom for the first time.
My phone is Sony Xperia V (tsubasa)
Android 4.1.2
Build 9.1.A.1.140
My phone is botloader unlocked and rooted. However I've never managed to install a custom rom.
I've been trying to install custom roms with CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB and CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB, however with both versions of CWM I had the following errors:
at first I have status 7 error, but when correcting using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762 I then have an istallation aborted error.
I've tried installing several releases of Cyanogen and PAC-AIO with the same error messages everytime.
If anyone has another method for flashing roms that bwould be helpful.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

If deleting the "asserts" command from the updater-script didn't work for you, than, in CWM, go to "Advanced" and then "Show log", and get the exact error for when it fails, that way you can see what/where exactly it's failing.

After checking the logs it appears that the format of the partition is not recognized. It also appears that the dalvik wipe fails before that. I have to investigate why the dalvik fails.

You don't have to go back to 4.3 to install the recovery.
You download the latest recovery extract it somewhere the start install.bat and then you follow the instructions
