PLZ HELP!!!

If you can still start in Download mode (Home key + Volume Down key + Power key) or in Recovery mode (Home key + Power key) it's not hard-bricked so it can be revived.
Options to try: start in recovery and wipe data/factory reset (recommended when changing roms), reflash stock rom with odin and do same as above...

I dont know where to get stock rom?????

Search for a multifile ROM (for Gio) and flash it with ODIN

flash with odin.

I am Going to try it .... Lets hope evry thing goes alrite.........

I also bricked my phone 2days before and rcovered.dont worry.
You need to get odin flashable firmware files.
My suggesion is to google with your phones no like s5360
... Etc try googling PDA_S5560...DDK etc etc
They will be group of files with extension .tar and filename starts in my case with PDA_S5360....,MODEM_S 5360....,BOOT_S....
Etc. best luck

Hello and a sorry for my english
I've done something very very stupid. In the ROM Manager I choose, by mistake, in the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery a different phone than my one and then I push the Backup Current Rom option.In that moment my galaxy gio crashed... it is completely off, I ve try to push all the buttons it is really dead.
What can I do?
There is a very small space on the bottom of the phone where I can push with something to restart it?
Help please

Rom Manager author should really get those CWM recoverys out of that list ... lately a lot of ppl flash wrong CWM`s and brick their phones
No, u don`t have any "hidden button to reset it "
Try to get your battery out, leave it alone for 5 mins or so, and then put battery in and press Volume Down + Home button + power button same time and see if u can get to Downloading mode
If that works, try to flash a stock rom with Odin, there are some tutorials here use the search button

Rom managers recovery for Gio is outdated (4.X.X), better use recovery 5.X.X by Phiezx

Hi Sam,
You can use CWM to format "system", and clear the cache.
Then re-flash the rom, and see if that allows you to boot up normally.
If this fails, then you can flash one of the stock roms on this thread to get your phone up and running again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Once you are up and running, remember to make a CWM backup before trying something risky (and yes, Google apps can be considered risky )

OK, so now you need to use "flashtool" - you'll have to search for it on the forums if you don't know what to look for...
Then you can find the firmware for your phone on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
When you use flashtool with a firmware like this it overwrites the entire operating system with one that definitely works - even if you have a locked boot-loader.
Once you have a working phone you can start with the whole root and custom rom thing again...
Good luck

the reason for your bootloop is wrong kernel i think... you may have tried to flash jellybean rom with ics kernel...try to change kernel if you wanna flash jb again

Hello, Hotfingers
I'm sorry to revive this old thread, but I seem to have the same problem - only I flashed back to my stock firmware using flashtool and it's STILL stuck on the Sony logo for a whole half hour with nothing new on the screen. Can anyone help me out here?
edit: never mind, I found out that I was flashing the kernel the whole time rather than the firmware. Thank you very much for the help!

Hotfingers please Help ME
the phone only shows the sony logo but does connect by fastboot.
i have attached the log. the flashtool wont go pass where it says device connected.
please help....

same problem here

To recover, put your phone into flashmode and then install stock firmware from a FTF file by using Flashtool.

Flashed stock kernel
Now i have flashed the ICS stock kernel and i am unable to get my phone to CWM recovery. After the sony logo appears, there's a black screen.
My PC find the phone, but it's in MTP mode, therefore i can't flash anything except the kernel (.ftf).
Do i have to change the internal memory?

You won't be able to until you flash a kernel with CWM or use X-Parts. Click the first link in my sig and read it from start to finish, when you have a better understanding of what you're doing then try and flash something.

It was having Rush Kernel on it, dont know if stock ICS too, and .... now it`s now..
I used a program (ZDBox) to kill some background processes...and i accidentally forced my phone to reboot .Since then it only shows me the Rush Kernel logo, and after that it restarts again...and again...
I tried to d a hard reset, but no luck so far.
Tried volume up+power+home
Tried the same, but with volume down
Tried the back + home+ power
Tried the back and the button on right + power ... no luck
Can someone please help?

Question: What is the kernel and what advantage do i have installing a kernel? But a rom?

A kernel is a module that allows interaction between hardware and software(i.e using the camera on your phone with the camera application on your ROM)
There's no advantage about installing a kernel; it is a must to install or your ROM won't run properly with your phone.

Check the ROM thread for recommended kernel. Each custom ROM needs different kernel to run at optimal performance.

Xperia arc s not booting after flashing custom rom.have i bricked it?

I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation
regards
Sanjay Agarwal

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.
Thanks n regards

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.

Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

Did you flash correct kernel for your ROM? The ROM will not boot if the kernel is not compatible.

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.
