What kernel did you flash, CM have their own set of kernels and using the stock kernel with CM will cause boot-loops and this may be your problem! Flash the kernel from the CM package first then reflash the ROM, or if the kernel was the problem then flashing it via flashtool will solve the problem altogether without reflashing the ROM!!
Hit THANKS if I helped!!

What where you trying to flash? If it was the CM kernel, then are you sure that you have unlocked the boot-loader the right way?

Is it a drivers problem?!! Have you installed the fastboot drivers first?

No, no, no!!
You flash the CM10 kernel via fastboot. Boot loop is because you're missing the correct kernel (you still have stock kernel)

[Q] [HELP] Problem Xperia X8 (ROMs, Xrecovery)

Greetings from Colombia. The post I translated with Google translator because not speak English. Hope is not a big problem and I hope I helped. Thanks again.​
My problem is this. I have an Xperia X8 (E15i - 11w13) and a few days ago I returned my Xperia X8 to PC COMPANION Stock (Stock Firmware and Kernel) Then using the ROM: rDroid (The best ROM for me)
With my phone in stock. Decides to Flashing ...
+ Then I ROOT my phone with flashtool. All good up there.
+ I decided to install the xRecovery as always and installed (Copying 3 files to System / Bin with RootExplorer)
Restart .. And no, it did not work.
- Investigate and maybe he problem was the permissions. I repeated the process, modify permissions ... And no, it did not work
- Maybe it was the Busybox?. I repeated the process after installing Busybox from the Android Market ... And nothing
- So I thought ... and it decided to install the xRecovery Flashtool, I did and .. It worked!
Already with the xRecovery working and the new ROM on SD Card, decided Flashing.
+ Realize what Wipes and install the ROM ... There all good
+But when the cell lit New ROM test, shoot me Restarts every 10min, with a message in the notification bar that says: "It is safe to remove the SD"
+Or failed the internet or in the Market / Play Store (would not let me download any APP)
+Or And there did not return to take the ROM .. It was stuck on the logo of SONY
+Or And Not even let me enter the xRecovery
Then I play do ... TOTAL STOCK Back to PC Companion.
I returned to Perform ROOT process, Xrecovery (with Flashtool) ... All to Flash the ROM withthe rDroid Cel (The one I was using before the problem and it works excellent)
But what ... Again the same problem. The constant pulling reboot message "Safe to remove the SD"
So when I went back to try to get the xRecovery .. He returned and stayed stuck in the Logo of SE.
And I got to re-do?... Make PC STOCK TOTAL COMPANION :crying:
¡HELP ME!​

hi. i understand that you don't speak english, and thanks for the effort in using translate, but i'm afraid i'm not sure i understand. are you experiencing a soft brick now? or is the sdcard error the issue?
if you have a soft brick (stuck in sony logo), try using seus instead of pcc if pcc doesn't work.
if you're experiencing the sdcard issue, backup your sdcard and reformat it. also, install cwm instead of xrecovery as some roms apparently do not support xrecov (i have not experienced it though).
also, are you on stock kernel? i'm not familiar with the rom you're using. or is your bootloader unlocked and you have a custom kernel? and what is the new rom you're trying to use?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Just helping
if u want to fix the booloop (stuck at sony logo)
just flash the original firmware by flash tool
download here
and if u want to install custom rom
- Flash the kernel
- Full Wipe (dalvik cache and batery stats)
- Factory Reset
- Install ROM

Hello. Thanks for answering Cascabel.
But I had no brick problem, or soft or hard.
The phone works normally with the Stock ROM, but with a Custom ROM works but has problems (the same problem throughout the ROM I try)
Buy a New SD card (8GB Kingston) to see if the problem was on the sd card. And it still has the same problem with the new card

what ROM did you use? "Safe to remove SD" was a known bug in early days of Froyo/GB.

Good news, for now...
Thanks for your answers. Yesterday test a ROM (Xperia SOUL Engine Generation4) And so far not filed failures..
The problem of "Safe to remove SD" I had in GB (ROM android 2.3.5)
+I have to test what the Xrecovery. See if I work or if I presented another problem (When using xRecovery, pressing the back key and the phone would not start and it stuck in the logo of Sony Ericsson)

You don't test or mess xrecovery if you are in custom rom. You'll soft brick even you can boot up to xrecovery and xrec uses amend scripting so CWM in custom rom is the best. Xrec uses busybox and all custom rom can't update busybox.

Help with this please "bug report failed no new crash data in dropbox"

:crying:Hello I buy an Xperia SP, it works fine for 2 minutes and when I open settings it closes randomly every time I try open it, the same result when I try with other apps and in the notifications appears the message "bug report failed no new crash data in dropbox" and sometimes the phone freezes and reboot.
I try update with PC Companion, with SUS (in this i can't find the SP in the list), Rooting and removing all the apps that crashes, using speedydroid to remove bloatware, uninstall apps provided by the carrier, change the rom for eXistenZ and the problem remains.
I was trying to find a clean stock ROM for this phone with no luck
My phone is this:
Xperia SP c5306
Locked bootloader
ROM 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254 Telcel
Hope someone can help me or say if it's software problem or hardware problem

Reflash stockrom with flashtool. It looks like some apps or files are either damaged or removed or something.

You rooted your device? Or how did you manage to flash existenz rom? It's kinda strange it works only 2 minutes after your purchase and you still manage to get root and install CWM to flash existenz rom
Further, what SUS version are you using? Mine shows the SP and is able to perform a repair

Jaja in the time the phone works fine I have enough time to root, then reboot and install cwm, and enter in CWM,, the recovery works fine, and flash the ROM.
My SUS version is 2.13.14.201312091927 and it dosn't appear, please send me your SUS installer an I check it.

Should be this one. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
If that one don't work, maybe use the dutch version http://www.sonymobile.com/nl/tools/update-service/ -> that's the one I used

I think it maybe a bad rom -non stable-
Or sometimes its the rooting process.
However
Using sony flash tool
Unlock boot loader
Flash stock rom
Root device

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 ?

Which rom do you use? Probably you should shut down your phone and then press simultaneously power and volume down. Up to when you hear the second vibrate, now you should only push volume down. Then your recovery should appear

Bootloader locked or unlocked??
Remeber the more info you give less question I have to ask.
Model, rom, bootloader, root status etc

Unlocked bud

Then flash kernel image from Rashr app. Choose any stock based kernel. I like ok kernel. In the zip extract the boot image and then flash it through Rashr app from playstore. There you go kernel and recovery.

IL try now stock kernel only yea?
