[Q] Sony Xperia E dual keeps vibrating and shows green/blue LED when turned on

[kishanamlani]

I rooted my phone and was about to install Nexboost V6 rom from following thread

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-nexboost-cm11-camera-t2852519

Below were the steps given.
Flash 11.0.A.6.8 firmware (4.0.4 ftf)
Flash Poseidon Kernel
Boot into CWM
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
Format system
Flash the ROM, enjoy your Sony Xperia Nexus

I performed first two steps and tried to boot into recovery but when restarting device it only keeps on vibrating and green/blue led pops up continously.
Before this sometimes sony xperia logo kept appearing and when i pressed volume up/down for booting into recovery, it kept restarting by itself.

I dont know if my recovery got affected or what..
Please help me in this regard.
Thanx in advance...

hello, first thing first, no CWM if your bootloader is locked!!!!
okay, these steps can be done one a time, so make sure where the problem is exactly..
first..take off the battery and put it in again and FLASHMODE. flash the ftf and make a full boot if the phone boots with no problems then you can continue.
then, power off and FASTBOOT MODE mod and make the second step that is flashing UltraGamerHD's kernel and make a full boot to system again...
and so..... if your phone didnt face any problems you can install the ROM.
(make sure you download the kernel from the official website)

I have unlocked the bootloader. Now the guy from that post of Nexboost Rom quoted

" Retry the process.
Btw, I made a mistake.
The version number of the FTF is 11.1.A.0.68, not 11.0.A.6.8 "

I have found that ftf file and is in download.
Do that make a difference in my procedure. ??

 

[TheBrainCandy]

oh yes (unexpected mistake) lol
dowload 4.0.4 ICS from here
for xperia E DUAL:
11.1.A.0.68 =4.0.4=ICS
11.3.A.3.1=4.1=JB

Hey TheBrainCandy,

Firmware and kernel were installed successfully but i faced an issue while installing ROM, it showed some error as :
" E:Error in /sdcard/NexboostV5.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted. "

I surfed related to this error and found out to edit the binary script, also followed it but still there is no progress..

M stucked again at this point. Looking forward for ur valuable help.
Please help, Thanx in advance

i saw your posts there and the "installation aborted" is just a quoted message that doesnt affect the ROM or the installation so you better refer it the ROM owner maybe he could help you other than that,
make sure that your system/ is mounted,,, just make sure you followed the instructions if you're facing a problem with this ROM, you may wanna look at my jellybean ROM. good luck once again

 

[kishanamlani]

Thanx a lot friend.. Please give me link of your thread..

setup guide doesn't matter, if the phone works fine after that message then yeah not a problem, if its stuck there then its the ROM's fault not your installation steps
