[Q] [NOOB Q] Having some basic issues with flashing the Beta

Right sorry about this but I'm having a little problem trying to flash the Sony Beta so I can flash another ROM. Basically, I've just unlocked bootloader and then I go on to the next bit that says flash these three images separately etc...
Anyway I go to flash the first image and cmd just hangs on "waiting for device".
I think I've got it all set up right. I'm guessing I need it in the mode where I hold search when I plug it in and the blue light comes on right?
Anyway I'm guessing I'm missing something very easy. Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

did you put in into fast boot? hold the search key for a bit then plug in usb, the blue light will then turn on and you'll hear your usb noise. Then you hold SHIFT on the folder of fastboot and of course flash it, it will run after that

Yeah I did, sorry thought I had mentioned that. ANy chance this just takes a while and I'm being too impatient? I get the feeling it should be quick though.

nah it should only take a sec for the boot img and depending on file size of the system etc it should take a min but the fast boot cmd would give you any errors if something went wrong
and yes you did mention it lol but im reading off a little screen off my phone so just respamming things that come to head just give it a min if you don't want that one i recomm ka12 if your not a cmda user

Hmm... Well I was just thinking, I got the drivers sorted out using PDAnet. the phone wiped when I unlocked bootloader. Is it possible I need to reinstall this?

Try "fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img"

if you unlocked it then its unlocked, which you can verify by the blue light if it stays on while the usb if plugged try that method ^ and see how that goes if it doesn't let me know
also you can try another method which i did but im a cdma user and i used dooms kernal by flashing of course then installed official sony then back into fast boot and install stock kernal which booted up fine but cdma users have bugs no texting etc so i just went back to stock,

Didn't flash any kernel really. First time I've flashed anything to this phone. Just followed instructions on Sony Beta ROM site. Could you suggest a kernel to flash with that?

ohhh thats what you did okies this is the one you did right? http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...or-unlocked-xperia-play-smartphones-download/ ?
use this in fastboot flash it with cmd of course
http://www.mediafire.com/?yeqjdf6xt7u6u83
then let it boot and wait again if that doesn't work install a custom recovery, factory/wipedata, wip cache and try it again you are rx800i i presume? a? x?

if that doesnt' work look for the right kernal for your phone in development theres like 4 of them or w.e to choose the right one for your phone from i recomm dooms kernal, install and wipe ^ give it another go
that does work try this method its the same thing in general just this guy does some bug fixes on the official ics

[Q] Noob needing help

Hello peeps,
I've just come from an iphone so please forgive my stupidity. I've been looking around XDA and various other places for 2 days trying to sort my One X, but don't seem to be making any progress.
I currently only have access to the bootloader
I managed to unlock and root the phone, but then got stuck on a boot loop which I haven't been able to get out of. I was able to get into the OS, but had no cell or wifi, but now I'm just stuck in the bootloader after a failed flash of probably an incorrect RUU. The phone has been relocked.
I ran Vtool from post 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989358, and my main version is 2.17.206.2
I'm in the UK on the o2 network.
Can someone please help??

I've got no idea to be honest.
I've got no back ups.

If you have access to cwm then you're not totally out of luck, I think your best option would be to flash a stock rom for your particular phone.

So do i need to flash the boot.img and the rom from CWM and I should be ok?

Just look around in the One-X forum, do some searching, see if you can find a stock rom to download to your computer then move to your phone.
CWM has this handy feature I think in the "mount" tab, where you can mount your phone as a usb device, from which your computer will pick it up and you'll be able to move the roms file to your phone for flashing.

Thanks for the info - think I have a rom I can use.
1 more question before i continue, how do i flash the boot.img file? I have a zip with the rom / boot.img
I have mounted as usb storage and copied the zip file across

I've installed CM, after wiping cache, dalvik, system etc, but seem to be stuck on the JB animation screen.
Wondering if this means the OS is installing, or if I'm still stuffed....
I don't know if I need to do something with the boot.img file as the onlyl thing i did was load the zip file for CM

Personally I've flashed a total of three roms which isn't many, but in all my time spent reading threads of the latest and greatest roms I've never heard anything about a separate boot.img that you needed to flash... (perhaps a One-X specific thing?).
Just be patient with it when it's booting, the first boot after an install always takes longer.

I do need to flash the boot.img first.
I'll do that once my battery gets some more charge.

How much charge does it have right now? It's important to always go into using CWM on a substantial amount of battery life. Upwards of %50 is recommended, but but you should do just fine with around 30, that is assuming you're able to tell.

download the rom's boot.img and type with the phone in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
after that your phone will boot up correctly

Oke let's try the viper x rom .... Then i will definitely know that it works !
Download the full viper x rom 2.6.0
Extract the boot.img and flash it, and clear the caches with fastboot commands
Fastboot erase cache
Before and after flashing the kernel !
Copy the rom to sd and wipe EVERYTHING in recovery ! Wipe all parts (caches,data,system etc ....etc )
Flash the rom and choose FULL WIPE and after that all the STOCK options.
I bet it boots !

Pretty sure TWRMP version 2.7 are known to cause problems with Android 5 or later; and not booting into recovery is the known result. TWRP 2.8.5 might be okay, but I'm not sure. I'd try 2.8.7 or (as I already mentioned) 3.0.0.0.

Why do you think that? Folks always jump to the conclusion that s-off is the magical answer to all their problems. S-off doesn't have any bearing on the ability to install custom recovery, or whether you can connect to adb or not.
Waste $25 is you want (as sunshine is the only working s-off method), but it won't solve your problem.

Yes, I tryed 2.8.7 and 3.0.0, but dosen't work. After select RECOVEY , the phone vibrates and nothing happens, forcing a physical reboot it gets stuck on the HTC home screen.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the device.
Something else is going on here.

recovery issues

I have a Verizon xl unlocked, rooted, elemental kernel, running X firmware and I'm unable to get into recovery. I've tried multiple times and get recovery unknown. Anyone wide having this problem?

Yes, I screwed up my phone at one point and ended up restoring to stock.
But OEM recovery is not available to download.
So... I don't have recovery either.
Doesn't matter. Don't need it for anything.
Just need to wait for TWRP to drop and that'll actually be useful.

I just wanted to wipe my cache. I deleted some apps using titanium and they keep showing app stop working message. I haven't screwed my phone up yet, so i think it has something with flashing Google firmware on my Verizon xl. Just a guess

I think recovery is now tied to kernel (boot.img). Flash the stock kernel image in fastboot, then try recovery. Note that when you get into recovery, I think you hit Power-Volume up to get to option to wipe cache.
Or you probably can wipe cache in fastboot (fastboot erase cache used to work on 7.0 and under).

As someone mentioned earlier recovery is part of boot.img. However you should still be able to access it like I did.
You may want to find a "root" cache cleaner. Much easier...
Good luck!

When you are at the screen with the pissed off Android, if you hold Power and then touch +volume, the recovery menu doesn't appear?

I don't remember the factory image for pixel now and I can't check -no PC) ..but if you unzip the image. zip you should have the recovery.image ( Nexus images) ..if it so try to flash only the recovery..
I was reading ..but really now the recovery is a part of boot.img ?
