HI Guys,
Today i tried 40 times to install S1 Boot drivers.
How can i make it work , cauze i want to install custom ROM.
Thx
You don't need any s1 boot driver to install custom rom, just root your phone install cwm and flash your custom stock rom. unlock your bootloader ( if you can) and you can enjoy cm10 aokp... All in one thread can help you
Thanks but how do i get in fastboot mode? For root you need to get in fastboot mode?
The light gets blue and view seconds larer its red

For enter in fastboot you need an unlockable bootloader but for now fastboot is just for flash kernel. But if you can't you can always root your phone on a. 303 firmware with flashtool install The cwm ( you can find it in dev theard) and flash à custom STOCK rom but you don't need fastboot or Just if you cant unlock your bootloader fastboot is not enable in thé phone so you cant flash cm10 aokp.... Whose need custom kernel
Are you trying to unlock your bootloader?
If so, there's a page of instructions in Sony website. The instruction page will provide a link to download Android's SDK and the S1boot fastboot driver.
Have you done that step yet?

First of all, if you want to unlock your phone, check the date of manufacturing first! It is well documented here plenty of examples of newer phone brick when unlocking bootloader, so better be careful!
Secondly, if you ran into problem, you need to re-lock your phone using flash tool. Then re-unlock again! I previously lost my phone GSM radio when unlocking bootloader (while on GingerExperia). I have to flash into stock ROM (it's a must) using flash tool, and relocked again.
Finally, it is safest to unlock bootloader in stock rom.

No, you don't need to unlock it again. BL is the flash partition of the phone, what contains a secret code. When you unlock the BL, you'll remove the code and the flash partition will be open. When you flash a new ROM, it changes the system partition. When you flash a new kernel, it changes the flash partition but nothing else. So you'll not need to unlock BL again.

Does anyone have CWM link and instructions how to install?
I would like to install EU retail JB
Thanks
First, you will have to unlock your bootloader (this will void your warranty.. So there will be no going back!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32576654
Get CWM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974097
Then you will need to enter boot mode and flash CWM with:
fastboot flash recovery [cwm image file you downloaded].img
and
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Before you follow these instructions.. I would advise you to do a bit of reading, in case things go bottoms-up. (They usually do.)
AW: [Q] CWM
Unlock your BL
Enable USB Debugging
Connect your RAZRi with your PC
Run the CWM. bat or CWMblack. bat (for the black Edition)
Follow the Instructions on Screen after the 2nd reboot into the Bootloader

Hi guys, my friend just bricked his LG Optimus black, by trying to reach recovery mode through Rom manager...
When booting, the security error screen flashes and it turns back off.
I've tried to reach recovery/download mode, by trying several button combinations found on the internet, but none of them seems to work, I get the same security error screen (even when the phone is connected to PC).
Can you guys please help, I have zero experience with this phone
Your friend's phone shows security error because he flashed recovery while he was running a v30x stock rom.
With the update to official ICS, the bootloader changed and if you want to keep stock ICS with recovery you need to flash an unlocked bootloader following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394.
You could also try using SmartFlash Tool to flash this ROM that already includes a recovery, but, if you flash it, you'll have a gingerbread ROM with an old bootloader and a recovery that can be used to flash CyanogenMod based ROMs.

Thanks, I finally managed to access Download mode and flash stock firmware, and I also flashed the unlocked bootloader, using the exe file...
But I still have a problem...
I still can't access CWM. When pressing the combination in the post you linked, it just shows me a screen, writing recovery mode, and it does nothing.
Didn't the exe file install CWM?
Is it safe to install it with Smart Flash Tool now?
Can you boot to stock ROM? If yes, is his phone rooted?

I can boot to stock ROM, and yeah I rooted it with Unlock Root after installing the unlocked bootloader.
Download terminal emulator from play store, download recovery.img from here and place it in the root of his sdcard.
Open terminal emulator, type su, press enter, type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and you should have finished! :highfive:
now im downloading kitkat 4.4.4 to flash and then i will root with the new tool ,, i need to what is the next step to flash recovery and custom firmware and mods
i read about dual recovery , fastboot ,flashtool , boot loader , unlock boot loader but i dont understantd so if anyone can help me in this !!
If you root with the newtool it will install recovery as well.
Dual recovery is just a recovery package that gives you the option of 3 recoveries
You do not need to unlock the bootloader to get recovery, but you do if you want to flash a custom kernel.
i rooted now using the new tool from this topic and nw i have recovery .. can i flash custom roms ?

From the development section yes.
If you want to flash custom roms from the original development section you need to unlock the bootloader

yes you can flash custom rom base on sony stock, not AOSP (CM, PA, AOKP...)
i didnt get it !! what is the difference ? and how to unlock boot and is it dangerous ?
The difference is the kernel. Locked bootloaders will not boot on a custom kernel. In order to unlock your bootloader just Google "Sony unlock bootloader "

just download twrp flashable stock .zip for jasmine. Flash with recovery like any rom. Afterwards *enable* oem unlock and adb permissions... connect to pc via cable ...reboot to recovery ..if you still have twrp flash stock recovery ...
if you have stock recovery ..enter fastboot mode and use to lock bootloader
alternatively download a stock fastboot image amd flash it using Miflash
*just use a tutorial
* i suggested using first option because this option sometimes causes a soft brick if you use the wrong options
