It just shows up screen with Sony Ericsson Logo goes no where.
Please help me guys I want to install any custom ROM on my phone please suggest me
Thank you so much guys.

You have probably wiped data too which is a factory reset. Run your back up or reflash.

i reflashed an old version 2.3.4 and every thing is working fine, got an OTA update on phone and downloaded the update using wifi and it turned off as the part of update process, thats it and never turned on :crying::crying::crying:
i tried again to flash the same version but never worked!!! what can i do now

Flash THIS with the flastool and report back.

i tried that just now and it does the same result, after flashing the .ftf file it says to take the cable off and turn it on. It never turns on but when i press the power button it blinks the green LED (donno what it does mean!!)
any ways thanks for your suggestion.

Try THIS instead, if that doesn't work then not sure.

[Q] After flashing new ROM, the phone won't boot

Hello guys,
I'm no stranger to this forum since i've advised it from pretty much anything but this is my first time posting due to a critical situation.
I decided to root my phone (DHD, 2.3.3 Gingerbread), and while the root procedure and S-off procedure went smoothly.
When i flashed a rom to the phone, this rom to be exact http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077180, the installation was completed and now the phone hangs on boot screen (white screen with HTC letters just that) for a 10+ mins.
i cannot access it in any way i know of.
i would like to ask if there are any options here to fix this issue
Thank you in advance!
The best way to start would be to boot your phone into recovery. When you first power on the device, as you're holding the power button, also hold down the Down Volume button. This should allow you to get to the menu to then boot into recover. From there you should be in CMW, which you can then try re-flashing the ROM, see if that solves your problem.
Thank you for your reply, zidane. what you suggested worked like a charm and i now have a working phone again.
at least now i know how to resolve certain issues but i hope this incident will be the only bump in the road!
Take care mate!

When you install a Different Rom from the one you have installed it is always advised to do a FULL-WIPE

Also, the first time a new ROM starts it will take quite a long time so dont pull the power

You welcome, glad i could help. I had the same issue a few times flashing a ROM, the first time i panicked xD But it's easy to resolve. Also make sure to follow the tips above. They're useful !
my DHD is having the same problem and ive tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt fix it

This problem mostly occurs if you didnĀ“t do a full wipe before installing. Try doing a full wipe, and then reflash the rom. That should resolve the issue
i did a full wipe even tried 2 different roms still nothing
Sorry for hijacking your thread but what's the procedure to do a fullwipe?

Many thanks for the reply. I'm pretty new to the scene and appreciate the help. Currently flashed two ROM's so far without a full wipe and haven't run into any trouble but I will be sure to do it next time.
Thanks again!

[Q] Phone Reboot

Hi everyone,
I seem to be having a problem with my One X, for the past hour the phone has been rebooting at random moments and its really p*issing me off!!
Its running stock ICS and all of the apps are installed from the play store so i don't think i have anything on it which is messing with it.
Is there anything i can do to stop this or do i need to wait for the Jellybean update and hope it will fix it?
I also heard that it might have something to do with my HBOOT which is 1.12 and i am waiting for 3 to update it!
Try to do a factory reset from bootloader first back up all ur data as factor reset vll erase everything
If the prob still exist take it to nearest HTC care centre
If I hve helped you press the thanks button ...

HELP!! GNEX stuck in bootloop & no custom recovery

Hi,
I am fairly new to rooting (infact this is my first post).So,please be gentle if i am violating any rules.
I had put JELLY BAM on my GNEX and it was running fine. I tried partitioning my memory which did not go well so then I tried reflashing my ROM , which again did not go well and accidentally i deleted my ROM and all of my backups. So basically I am not able to use my GNEX .
I have no ROM and was only able to access bootloader and recovery menu (TWRP) . So i tried flashing it thru NRT(by wugsfresh) and since then I am stuck in bootloop(Was trying to flash stock JDQ39) & upon that I am back to stock recovery of android. Also, now PC is not ready to detect my GNEX as ADB device.
Please help me out, I am in dire need of it. Cant find a simillar issue any where else.
Thanks in advance.

Please suggest what is wrong with my phone and a possible solution

put simply you probably trashed your partitions. you might have to use ODIN to repartition

I had a similar problem. I thought it was because my disk was partitioned-screwed. So I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470
It didn't work for me, but it's worth a shot for you. Give it a go.
Will try the ODIN method.
Also, do you think I am experiencing persistent boot-looping because I wiped off my 'system' (did it for the first time)
coz i have been flashing ROM's and kernels on weekly basis now and this has never happened before.
Still not working, tried the ODIN part also, still stuck in boot-loop.
I jus want to know what exactly is the problem here..!!
getting frustrated now.
Hi all,
Since I am facing difficulties flashing ROM. IF only someone can share a backup image of ROM (CWM/TWRP) with me I can get it restored and flash another ROM later on as need be.
You said you partitioned your memory. What exactly do you mean by this, what did you do?

Performing a full data format with a custom recovery multiple times will leave no personal information. Then you can go do your restore to stock ROM

Is this your first phone? First android phone? I mean a quick google search would of told you how to reset as well. Also factory reset is just that a factory reset that puts your phone back to factory specs like when you first got it. Also better information in your post would of been to let us know if you were rooted or not and not your bad phone purchasing choice.... j/k not really LOL
Hope you got it all sorted out if not let us know we will be more than happy to send you off the right way :good:

This is my first android phone, yes. It was rooted as well. I'm having a problem resetting though. I oem locked, flashed to stock recovery, and tried to do the adb usb thing. However, it keeps saying that it cannot read file. Please help! I reinstalled the drivers already. Thank you!

No. I followed exactly how the video said above.

Notification bar not working

Helll, i have HTC 10 and i installed Ice rom in my phone before few months. Suddenly after the instslation my notif. Bar stopped working. I tried to reinstall but it didnt help.
In the painting screenshot you can see that i cant even do something in the top part of the screen.
But if you look on the second screenshot, to the right top corner, i can press that button. Its strange and i dont know how to fix that. If i flip my phone horizontaly i can pull the notif. Bar down.
Thanks for any help.
Another example...
And another... I guess its damaged? But my phone didnt fall or anything. I just reinstalled it and after that it wasnt working..

I'm assuming you didn't make a stock backup before flashing a custom rom. Grab a ruu from the thread below that matches your mid/cid, and your firmware version (or higher). That will bring you back to full stock, but will also wipe your phone so make everything up.
