Hi, I want to install the Arconium 4.0 on my Xperia Arc, but after installation when I checked to reboot, my phone start, but remains with the logo from Sony, and it stays for hours. Please help me ! I don't know what to do.
Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and restore to a backup? Because you did make a backup, right?
I put the zip on the sdcard, after I install from the zip in CWM. And the phone is rooted. Yes, I'm a very big extra mega ultra NOOB ! And my computer don't recognize my phone with the usb connected ...
From your description, you didn't make a backup and you didn't do a full wipe. If you didn't do a backup, that's pretty dumb to begin with. You might get it working if you actually wipe first (wipe data and cache etc) and install rom/kernel anew, otherwise you might need to get stock ROM/kernel from somewhere else to get back to square one. As long as you can get back into Clockworkmod Recovery, you're fine.
(For Xperia Arc, you spam volume up/down buttons to get there while booting)
First of all - brick is when you cannot turn it on, it wont charge and computer would recognize it.
And now the good part. I cannot post outgoing links but google for "sonymobile message 216747" - I unbricked (really bricked one) my Arc like this.

This is my smartphone now Tell me how can I unbrick it.
Did you install both corresponfing ROM and Kernel?
If you didn't, do so.
If you did maybe it's a bad flash.
Freezing in the boot logo is Kernel problem.
Freezing in the boot animation is ROM problem.
I didn't install any kernel. Only I put the zip on the sdcard, I'm switched off the phone, I start the CWM, I select "install zip from sdcard" , I choose the zip, it was a normal installation, and at the final when I checked "reboot". The phone rebooted, but it blocked with the logo from Sony (look the picture).
What was your phone original build/ROM ? (4.0.A/4.1.B, etc.) or android version ?

I mean what were you using before Arconium
Assuming you were using 4.0.3, I think you should've flashed 4.0.4 kernel first.
I have 4.0.3 but I've flashed a ftf and is good before brick. I'm a newbie, and I just want ICS, I search and I found (i don't know where) it was very simple with flashtool, I flash the ftf and it was good. But today when I install a custom rom (Arconium) and it was wrong my phone brick. But please don't ask me what I did, help me to fix it.
The arconium thread should tell you which Kernel to use. Flash it before installing the ROM.
I see now, but my phone it's blocked ! I can't do anything, it's DEAD ! How can I flash if the phone it's dead ?!

If you want help, try reading what I'm actually telling you. If you did exactly what you just described you are not installing a custom rom correctly. A custom ROM should be installed after a clean wipe, and with a corresponding kernel if needed.
As I said, try spamming volume up/down buttons on boot and see if you get into CWM.
I know I didn't install it correctly, and I tried to spam to entry in the CWM but it didn't work. I don't know what to do, and the computer doesn't detect the phone which is connected through USB.
If you unlocked the bootloader, try to go to fastboot mode and flash 4.0.4 kernel
If not, copy an old 4.0.3 rom through a card reader and try spamming the back button to get to CWM
Not sure if it'll work, but try it
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
But I didn't install a ROM to have 4.0.3 I installed a new firmware with Flashtool.
Well, at least you learned to read the goddamn manual in the future.
Yes, but who will or how I repair my phone ?!

Hello XDA, haven't been on these forums for a while.
I have a slight issue with a Galaxy SIII I just picked up off a friend.
The S3 goes to this screen every time I try to boot it with the power button:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And I AM able to get to the download mode screen:
I've tried to flash a Stock Rooted Firmware onto the phone using Odin 3.07, and all it does is say it failed.
Another thing to note is that I CAN'T boot into recovery, and that I do not have Clockworkmod installed.
Also, I am not sure if my device is rooted as it was given to me by someone else..
Any help on trying to solve this issue will be much appreciated!! Thank you! ��
EDIT: if you can't see the images for some reason, it is just a photo of the "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue" screen and a photo of the download mode screen.

This is the firmware I am trying to flash: root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5
It's basically a rooted stock ROM for the SIII T-Mobile.
And this is the message I receive when trying to flash:
Please note I have tried to flash other firmwares as well, getting the same message.
One thing that DID work was flashing a custom recovery through odin.
Thanks for the reply!
UPDATE:
I've now gotten the phone to get stuck at the Samsung boot logo (the one where it glows blue) instead of giving me the firmware issue message.
I did this by flashing CWM through odin. In Odin, it said the flash was successful but when I boot into recovery on my phone, it just goes to the stock Samsung recovery.
One thing I did notice was that when I try to factory reset the phone, it gives me a BUNCH of errors in red text.. doesn't seem normal.
Thanks again!
Yeah. Im afraid that doesn't sound good. But before getting too negative, try flashing the firmware again, but this time use the PIT file as well. In case the local one on your device is corrupted, use one from our thread in the General section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848267
Download the correct one for your device. If the link in the op isn't working check my last few posts for a mirror.
Now in Odin do exactly as before, but also click the PIT button and select the file you just downloaded. Then make sure that re-partition is checked. Click start.
If something corrupted your partition layout, theres a chance this will fix it. If it doesn't work, theres a good possibility the memory is going bad....

Same thing happens this time, same error message. It seemed like the PIT file did not make a difference at all..
BUT! Now, I went into the stock recovery and tried to do a factory reset. NO ERRORS!
And when it began to boot, it made the little ringtone "jingle" and FINALLY BOOTED UP TO THE SETUP SCREEN!!
YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE AMAZING. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
So for all future references: the PIT file may seem to do nothing at all, but once you do a factory reset it will work like a charm.
Once again, thanks! Bought the phone for $20, now I can sell it for around $100, lol.
Glad i could help!
So the first thing I did after getting my new Flo was to use the standard OTA update to bring it up to 4.4.4, then unlock the bootloader, and flash TWRP 2.8.0.1. The recovery flashed fine, but take a look at the TWRP log every time I boot into it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is going wrong? If I try to boot back to the stock ROM it just bootloops. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Anyone? I just realized something else that seems odd. When I reboot into recovery (holding down the power button and the volume down button) it doesn't boot into recovery, it boots into fastboot mode. Is this something unique to the N7 or is it part of the device being screwed up?
Thanks.
It's normal that Power/Vol- will bring you to the bootloader first, and from there you can choose to go into recovery.
Something probably happened with the OTA update. Try downloading the factory image (ROM plus recovery) and flashing that. Then you can try flashing a custom recovery again.

Just to make sure, you got TWRP from here, right?

Thanks for the tip, and even more for linking me straight to it. I really appreciate it.
And yeah I got the recovery straight from TWRP's site, and tried flashing a few different versions numerous times.
I'll try this as soon as I get off work and report back; thanks again.

You're the man! Working perfectly now; re-installed TWRP and rooted no problem. Must have had some sort of issue with the OTA update as you mentioned. Thanks a ton.
Excellent, I'm glad to hear! :good: I had such bad luck upgrading a long time ago to 4.2.2 (soft-bricked my original N7), and since then I don't do any more Android upgrades, only full flashes.
I know what you are thinking: "Another root/flash tutorial??, it's already explained multiple times right?"
Yes that's true. But for some reason it did not work when I followed the exact steps described (I tried it on 2 different elephone P8000 phones), and I believe I'm not the only one so i created this post to help others.
I folled these step: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6616-1-1.html#.VkcZqL8WCnN (the guide link in the "Eragon v.5.9.2" thread.
Flashing instructions:
1. Install the usb drivers and reboot your PC.
(Download link: mega.co.nz/#!55BQkKiR!OPBrnj7SXxsUbuchAjV8orT9SMAOMpbDesYTMO2DDHY)
2. Check if the drivers are installed correctly.
Go to "Device manager" on your windows PC and check if there are no yellow question marks appearing when connecting the phone to the PC3. Download the flashtool and firmware you would like to flash:
Latest version of the Flash tool: (androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool)
Stock Rom from official forum: (bbs.elephone.hk/forum-270-1.html#.Vkcc878WCnM)
Eragon ROM: (forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/development/rom-06-9-eragon-1-0-android-5-1-t3195007)
Philz recovery Touch 6.59.0 Port P8000 Version 2: (forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/development/recovery-philz-touch-6-59-0-port-p8000-t3224478)
?CWM Recovery (didn't work for me): (bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6616-1-1.html#.VkceZL8WCnN)
4. Open the flash tool and select the scatter download file included in your firmware you downloaded.
!the next steps differ from every tutorial I've read but seem to work perfectly.
5. Turn your phone on (normal no recovery).
6. Click on the download button in the flash tool.
7. turn your phone off (the normal way)
8. The flashing should automatically start while the phone is turning off.
9. Wait for the conformation in the flash tool (green check mark).
10. Remove the usb cable from the phone and hold to power button till the phone boots.
To root:
Just install superSU from the playstore and root. (confirm with rootchecker app, also from the playstore).
If that does not work for you. Install a custom recovery following the flash instructions above. Put de SuperSU binary's on your sd card. Boot into recovery by turning off your phone. Now hold the power and volume up buttons till you see a selection menu. Select "recovery" with the volume up button and confirm using the volume down button. In recovery use the install from zip function to install the superSU binary's.
To install latest stock firmware:
Follow the flash instructions and flash the stock ROM. I recommend doing this instead of updating from the phone itself. Because I updated the firmware from the phone itself to the latest firmware using the updater on the phone and there were some small bugs. After flashing everything worked perfectly.
(sorry the links are not clickable, Because I'm a new user with <10 post I can't add clickable links in the threats i create)
I am new to fiddling around android. Would you be able to tell me what's flashing and why do we do it?

Please use google.
"Flashing a custom ROM" basically means to load a different version of the Android OS. This site actually explains it very well. A custom ROM is the full Android OS customized by the ROM builder usually to make it faster, provide better battery-life or add new features.
AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod offer stock Android which will remove things like HTC's Sense or Sprint's Apps. CyanogenMod's ROM is one of the more popular ROM.
Other Roms like Fresh 3.5 offer a ROM very similar to the default experience (with added speed and battery-life) by leaving Sense (or whatever skin your device has) and incorporating over the air updates into an updated version of the ROM.
In order to flash a custom ROM you must first root your device. For information about rooting see Matt's comment on the OP or my original answer below:
When I had the same question this is where I found it: .talkandroid.com/7686-what-is-rooting-and-why-should-i-do-it-the-pros-cons-of-android-rooting
Depending on what device you have the rooting method will be different though. Personally I suggest reading up on your device at XDA.

Flashing Problem
Hi, I'm usually quite good at figuring out these problems myself but it has been about two days and still no luck,
I've got a Elephone_P8000_20151203 build, I've been trying the root it as I hate adverts, the problem I get is when I've followed the flashing procedure and enter recovery mode where it gives you the 3 options, every time I press recovery it just loads up the phone, and if I try and enter recovery mode without using flashtools I get no command, I have tried a few different ways now and I don't seem to be getting anywhere so any help would be amazing, I've also tried a different computer OS, I've tried win7/10.
Hope somebody can help,
Regards Chris

Have you tried going to settings, enabling developer options, enabling OEM unlocking, then downloading SuperSU from playstore,opening SuperSU, press continue,press normal,this should root your p8000

Cheers for the reply, I should have mentioned that I tried that also and it still says "there is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it" I found OEM unlocking yesterday and it got my hopes up then shot me straight back down, I was hoping that it OEM unlocking was the reason I could not access recovery,
Thanks again, Chris
To access recovery, switch phone off completely, then press power and volume UP together, you will see three options in tiny white writing,use the volume UP to move marker to recovery which is the first option, then press volume DOWN to choose recovery, you will get a screen with a green android man with a red triangle, you then have to press power and then volume up this should get you into recovery
If recovery is broken. Turn off the phone, connect to PC. Open flashtool. Load philz recovery. Click in download. Turn phone on and flashing should start automaticly. Hope this helps
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Elephone P8000 met Tapatalk
I think it's easier when you use Kingroot for root and Flashify for the recovery
ok sp flash tools wont let me flash just a recovery. It wants me to format and flash the whole phone which wipes out my imei. any suggestions?

Ok, It's download mode. I think you just need to press and hold vol- and power button simultaneously and when screen come black, waiting for the boot.
If won't work:
-Check you downloaded the correct firmware for your phone
-It's recommended to use Odin v3.13.1 and UNTICK auto-reboot
-Try to restart first in recovery and boot phone by recovery

Well, at first I took the newest Firmware Update, could it help to install an older version?
And how do I restart the Phone safely after installing the stock rom?

Now it seems to be stuck in Bootscreen...
So, I had left it plugged into the usbc port on my desktop overnight, probably not a good idea. In the morning I glanced at it, and it was doing a sort of charging boot loop, like showing the charging icon in the middle, then rebooting. Before it booted everytime, it showed a red light at the top, I assume because the battery was dead dead from boot looping.
So, I figured maybe I could just reset everything. No go. Couldn't get into the system at all. Kept showing the battery charging icon every time I tried to turn it on, then it would shut right off. Same thing over and over every time I tried to turn it on. Even Volume down + Power resulted in the battery charging icon.
So then I tried volume down + power while plugged into the computer with a different cable and different port, and I was able to get into the bootloader screen as shown. But this is as far as I cant go. I can't get into recovery, it just gets stuck at the google screen. Trying to boot into system gets stuck at the google screen."
I then tried various methods of flashing, live booting, whatever I could find on the matter, and resulted in the following errors, and getting stuck again on the google screen or sometimes staying on the bootloader screen. Is it a fair guess that maybe the flash chip died somehow? Or is that a bit out there? Only guessing that cuz usbc port on computer, less regulated than the standard chargers, idk just a theory. I've never had a problem like this before, but also never left a phone in that port all night.

Fortunately, your bootloader is unlocked, so your chances of fixing this are pretty good.
Please provide more information about the circumstances. Are you running a custom ROM?
From the logs you posted, it appears you're trying to flash incorrect firmware. A/B slot devices like the Pixel series do not have bespoke recovery partitions; the recovery kernel is contained in /boot, along with the system kernel. If you flash a recovery image to /boot, your device will only boot to recovery. Generally, the proper way to use custom recoveries on these devices is to live boot the recovery image; do NOT flash it.
As far as reflashing your phone, make sure you're using the correct firmware. The firmware for your device is here, notice the code name "marlin". Direct link for the latest firmware is here.
Make sure you are using the latest ADB Platform Tools.
If you need more information, please see my guide on the Pixel 3 here, as the concepts involved are exactly the same; the only difference is the firmware. Please note that the Android Flash Tool only works with Pixel 2 and newer.

Hey thanks for the reply, soo, I followed all steps of any guide I came across. When I try to just boot any twrp recovery, it will show the TWRP logo loading, and then go black, and try to boot up normal, getting stuck at the google screen again. Anything I've tried usually ends up back at that frozen google logo.

It's generally easier to provide help if I know what's going on. Please answer the questions I asked.
Sorry, I thought I did when I said I follow all the correct steps. No custom rom. Was there anything else you needed to know?
No custom rom
