This same problem. Bootlop on miui logo.
Full wipe (dalvik, cache, data, system) before install.

ROM is without kernel . which kernel should I use?

Stock One.

Do you think it's possible to get it booting without any modifications in the kernel? I tried to port MIUI v5 for LB in August but failed (bootloop).

It's definitely possible. I've got an Xperia T and managed to get v5 booting on a stock base using the stock kernel.. It's not perfect, have some issues with the notification led's and some bugs with the audio, but everything else works fine..

 

[panel1]

Can somebody try this?

• power on the phone
• after the bootloop shut down the phone
• flash a working kernel / rom ....
• restart the system
• run in terminal "su cat proc/last_kmsg > [path to the sdcard]/kmsg.txt"

and please upload kmsg.txt here.

I don't have any time to mess with MIUI at the moment, but I hope I can provide some guideance out of the blue:

* Yes, you can run MIUI on a stock kernel. But not using a stock boot.img. You need to modify the ramdisk (at least that's what I found when I worked on my own patchrom).
* To get adb logcat and things working, you need to set ro.secure to 0 in the ramdisk. It's probably set to 1.

 

[Olivier]

But I now that we're talking about MIUI for Xperia S, I remember there is MIUIv4 for devices with locked bootloaders. I even tested it and it was working like a charm. As my device's bootloader is "ununlockable" but it worked, I guess a Stock boot.img has been used. Or am I wrong when I say that each little modification in the kernel renders it unusable for devices with LB (because of a special fingerprint/signature whatever of Sony that gets lost)?

You are right with your last point, but remember: we're talking about MIUI v5 here.
And MIUI 5 definately needs a different ramdisk than MUIU 4.
So regarding MIUI on locked bootloaders, it more ore less depends on the OEM (read: Sony) if you're able to get it working or not, because they decide what the stock ramdisk will contain, afterall.

There might be workarounds to this (hijacking the ramdisk using init.d scripts), but I did not test those as my device was unlockable right from the start. It might also be possible to get MIUI 5 running without any ramdisk additions at all, but that needs to be tested excessively, for which I sadly lack time at the moment.

I will try to do this tomorrow. I have no time too, but will try to find some time. Thanks for guide

Patience is a virtue, guys. It's really not a piece of cake to port MIUI using Stock as a base.

I had ported some roms from nozomi to aoba,like tita rom and baidu os,all base on stock ICS.When I used the stock ramdisk the phone bootloop and the adb shell did not start.So I must add the shell in ramdisk and the rom work well.

I also ported the miui v5 base on cm.I did not add the shell in ramdisk and it stop at the "mi" bootanimation.But the key lights on and I can get the log.

About this miui v5 base on stockJB,I modify the ramdisk or not all bootloop.The worse thing is the adb logcat can not work.So I think the problem is the micode port in the .jar files.

I need the keypoint.Nomaly a rom make out can boot at less the adb logcat work

I had the same problem with the logcat. What I did was use a Kernel with an unsecure ramdisk, DoomKernel for example. I modified it to start the logcat earlier, even then the logcat only works properly on Linux. Once I'd worked out the bugs I was able to switch back to a stock kernel without making any modifications.
Hope this helps you..

 

[Olivier]

Also as @RaymanFX has already mentioned, it is possible to modify the ramdisk without de- and recompiling the kernel using init.d scripts. But @Rimmer1966's method seems more likely to work...
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a computer ATM (mine is being repaired) and also, my bootloader cannot be unlocked (...easily), which means I'll have to try the init.d script method (as soon as I get my laptop back).

I had set ro.secure=0,ro.debuggable=1,persist.service.adb.enable=1 in the ramdisk.But the fact is the adb service is not start when the phone boot.
So I can not get the logcat.

I think when you port the phone is stop at the bootanimation,the notification led is on too.You can get the logcat.
@djolivier The init.d support start later than the adb support,I think your method is not work.

If I can get the logcat,I can handle this by myself.I had ported many times.I have no idea and I want to give up now.

sorry for delay (I lost my computer and didn't get internet and so on), I'm not sure if you figure it out by now or not, you should put those lines on in build.prop in the room (because those values will be over written by build.prop in rom)
so you should look for ro.debuggable and persist.sys.usb.config and change them to (or create if not exists):

ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=adb

good luck
