[Q] cyanogenmod bootloop no recovery

ok so i recently updated to cm 10.2rc2(or1 i dont remember) and ever sinc then ive been having trouble then when i was the new update i decided to update to that using cyanogenmod installer but about half way through an error occurred causing my phone to go into a boot loop i cannot boot into recovery because when i try it all it says is the tiny blue text in the corner and then it stays stuck on the cyanogenmod mascot when i try to connect it to my computer it makes the noise but it does not recognize it anymore until i go into download mode and i was wondering if i could reflash cyanogenmod again using odin? another thing is that somehow the cm installer let me use it again but this time it wanted me to re-tick the usb debugging box and i cant because like a said its stuck in a boot loopif you can please send me a link to the files i must download to fix my phone and thank you so much for reading this !!

You could go here [ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L710 MD4 (MD4 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock): http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=233 to get the one click odin file, download the EXE (might want to start with the rooted MD4 to save a few steps) then you can try to reflash CM afterwards

how?

That link there has all the instructions and files you need.
Basically you'll download the 2nd file (the exe version) under the heading "nodata" versions.
then follow the step by step instructions on that page.
you should be good to go.

just to sum it up

i downloaded it and my computer said windows protected my pc

I ran into the boot loop early today when I tried to install CM10.2 via the windows installer.
All I could do was to get the phone to boot into "download mode". However, ODIN wasn't recognizing that my phone was plugged in.
I ended up uninstalling and re-installing the Samsung USB drivers.
When I plugged in my phone it completed the install of the drivers,\.
ODIN then recognized my phone was connected and the "COM" lit up.
I was able to reflash TWRP recovery and get my phone to reboot in recovery and reflash the backup rom.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011491 <- I followed this thread from skunkape
The ROMS are listed here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint#romList <- you can get the rom from here (remember to wipe the davlik-cache because I think that is what was causing mine to reboot)
You can alternatively get the CM10.2 (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2spr) from here and copy it to your SDcard and install.

[Q] Xperia S: from unlock bootloader to recovery to flashing ROM on MAC

Hi.
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader on Xperia S in order to flash CM11 ROM.
I followed this website: unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and I'm stuck at #9.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.

As I'm using MAC, I don't have Google USB Driver and website doesn't mention anything for MAC users.
I can't fastboot my phone. :crying:
Please help.
Thanks.

Yes, I managed to download android SDK and everything except the Google USB Driver, because it doesn't exist on MAC.
Anyway, I managed to solve my own problem using a FlashTool here: flashtool.net/download.php
Now my problem is solved. The bootloader is finally unlocked!! :victory:
My next problem: I would like to flash CM11 KitKat. Is there a step-by-step guide?
I found some threads in the development section on what to download etc etc, but it doesn't tell me how to install or run it.
I'm an absolute noob at this.

I'm afraid that's a bit too advanced for me. Do you have a link to a step-by-step guide (preferably for MAC)?
Do I still need to install a recovery, since my phone data is already gone while unlocking the bootloader?

Now, how do I flash the .zip file that I downloaded here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555243
Do I use the FlashTool to flash this .zip?

another problem, I can't get into the recovery mode.
I tried rebooting the phone while pressing the volume button, also tried pressing the back key, and tried tapping the screen. Didn't work.
edit: I've read many sources that say wait until purple LED light blinks or wait until android logo shows etc etc, but my phone doesn't show any LED blinks at startup, nor does it have any android logo. Only the words Xperia and Sony appear.

Try reinstalling the recovery, don't know I would recommend you to use doomlord's guides bro U can't fail
To flash the rom, go to recovery / install zip/ install zip from sdcard0 , select and flash it , don't forget to do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache which is in advanced option in recovery

You can't enter to recovery if you don't have one whoa, You need to install the kernel which contains the recovery via fastboot(you need fasboot binaries you can find them in Sdk/platform-tools). Give me your hangouts if you need more help

I managed to flash the kernel using the FlashTool, managed to get CM11 KitKat on my phone!! Yay! First time ever!! :good::good:

haed brick problems
ive seen on yu forums that many people have bricked their devices using the fastboot method. have you personaly tried this method?

no, but i have collected these info from forum. let we wait for reviews. but i think this would be work

doomlord has posted to wait for the official instructions to flash using fastboot as many people have bricked their devices.

YES, we have to wait.

I think Bootloader can't be replaced from Fastboot. That is why people flashing CM12 first time through Fastboot are bricking their devices. Once updated through OTA or manually through stock recovery, I think fastboot flashing of CM12 will work fine, but not on CM11 (32 Bit Bootloader)

worked for me!
but, i should put a disclaimer here: i had soft bricked my device while upgrading to lollipop using the stock recovery and the OTA zip.
my phone used to show the YU logo, and switch off itself, I couldnt even go into the recovery. I could only get into the fastboot mode.
I downloaded the files and followed the instructions, and then my phone atleast showed the CYANOGEN logo. But it wouldnt start. I discovered that I could atleast go into the recovery mode, from where I flashed the OTA zip, and voila, the device boots!
BTW, i managed to get my device into a bootloop a short while later. so i flashed the entire zip using fastboot, and didnt relock the bootloader. it works!

worked for me too
i first updated from cm11 to cm12 using ota
then i can install cm12 using this zip easily

does it really worked mate?

Download the twrp and install the recovery then dowbload su 2.46zip and flash it.

I confirm this works.
I hard bricked my YUreka somehow and somehow I managed to boot it into fastboot mode.
Then I executed above attached script with deleted bootloader lock/unlock lines.
Thanks for the link buddy. You just saved the day.

From the beginning, I couldn't enter recovery mode normally. When trying to enter there, it gives me an error. So while on the error screen, I hold the power button and click once the volume up key. Then I enter recovery. The installation of the its begins and the error is status 7. The phone is bought from China. Installed the WW Rom. Afterwards, I flashed the rooted WW Rom.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

You need to replace boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery with the version of ww android you are trying to flash through fastboot.
Just remember that as you are replacing the bootloader and recovery these files MUST be perfect. If they're corrupt you will end up with a brick.
Don't worry about using ADB to flash stock rom, the pre-rooted image is fine just make sure you wipe all the partitions and then reflash them before flashing the system.img...
You should be able to find the 1st 3 files in the pre-rooted image thread as Shakalaka included them in his download directory with the pre-rooted.img file... Thankyou again Shakalaka...

Did I say go to recovery?
You just hold Power and volume up from power off or bootloop. This should get you to bootloader mode. It should have a few options the first being "normal boot", pressing down goes through a few options like recovery and so on.
If you press up there are no options displayed. This is fastboot and the safest way to flash with fastboot. If you don't hit power the other options will flash with fastboot too BUT if you hit the power button it will reset to the option displayed.
Go to to bootloader mode, press volume up and use fastboot to either erase cache or flash the rom on your phone. It must be a pre-rooted rom as the stock ones WON'T flash through fastboot...

After entering recovery mode, you will see a dead android bot. Below, you will see NO COMMAND
Here, hold down the power button and press the volume up button once. Then release both buttons.
Now, you are successfully in recovery mode.

Just follow the method suggested by Raizen above. But there are two things I want to add:-
1. The drivers work successfully on windows 8 and 10. It's just that you have to turn off driver signature verification for a while. So don't worry if you have w8 or 10.
2. After flashing kitkat you will get a notification to update to Marshmallow and not lollipop.
P.s.- My opinion on Marshmallow- Everything's fine except the battery backup. I don't know if the issue has been resolved now. But I faced more than 30% drain overnight with location and WiFi off. I'm on CyanogenMod 12.1 now and I find it much better both in terms of battery backup and functionality.

Thanks guys. I will try it and let you know.

You can use kingroot or android one toolkit to root your phone if you are running KITKAT or LOLLIPOP.
To root MARSHMALLOW, you need to follow the steps mentioned HERE
