Hi I got a solution to endless bootloops (at least working for me ) every time I flash new ROM I got stuck with bootloops so I experimented little bit and this solution seems to be working ...
I am using CM10 with Semaphore JB
You will need fixrecovery.tar and Odin (I used v1.83) you can download them in attachments.
For those who don't have flashable kernel on Internal SDCard can skip step 5 and second half of step 3.
1. So first of all you have to remove SIM and SDCard.
2. Flash fixrecovery.tar with Odin and uncheck Auto Reboot
3. Get into recovery and wipe only cache and flash kernel you want
4. Flash normal kernel with Odin and again uncheck Auto Reboot
5. Get into recovery and again flash kernel of your choice
6. Now you should be ready to switch your phone on
Maybe this excessive flashing of kernel is not necessary but I did it this way
Did you make this fix by yourself? There is already a fix for bootloop from stratosk!

Hello there,
Thanks for the guide. This hasn't worked for me?
I was upgrading versions of aways ROM (from ICS to Jellybean) and once I had flashed the ROM and GAPPS the phone rebooted. The link for the GAPPS was broken on the ROM website but it found me a replacement that I used. The phone does boot but FC on setup and no longer boots into recovery and is stuck in bootloop.
I thought this would fix the issue as I could still enter download mode but I still have the same problem? Phone won't boot into recovery and just loops...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance : )
I have a device that is experiencing bootloop just stop at the logo, I think this is the kind of Mtk, rooted, Kitkat. I do not know exactly what causes it bootloop, Before bootloop I edit files and install Tweaks build.prop through the application My pimp and when I restart the device bootloop ensued, do you think this is file damage build.prop or else. So that my device bootloop
Hello everyone,
I wanted to root a Sony Ericcson Xperia Arc S and install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) on it and later a custom ROM. I’m a noob at this stuff. I did root the phone and it was working fine. The problem started when I tried installing CWM in fastboot mode with instructions from a random site and the instructions were of Sony Xperia S. I was stupid to follow the instructions. I thought that the method might be the same for both the phones.
Here is the link.
I’ll also post the instructions I followed.
How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Sony Xperia S
1. Use the computer for downloading the CWM file from here.
2. Then, on the same computer download fastboot from here.
3. Extract fastboot on C:\ drive.
4. Then, copy the downloaded “ecovery-nozomi.img” file to the Fastboot folder from your computer.
5. Now you must connect the phone in fastboot mode with the computer.
6. In order to do so you must plug the USB cord to the PC, then on your phone press and hold the Volume Up button and while doing this connect the USB cable to your Xperia S.
7. Up next, on the PC click on “Start -> Accessories -> on Command prompt right click -> Run as administrator”.
8. The command prompt window will now be displayed.
9. Now, enter the following commands (press enter after each one): “cd c:\Fastboot” and “fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img”.
10. CWM will now be flashed.
11. In the end the “finished / OKAY” message should be displayed.
12. In command prompt enter “fastboot reboot”.
13. Your handset should now reboot into ClockworkMod recovery.
14. Remove the USB cord and disconnect the Xperia S from the computer.
That was all; your Sony Xperia S can now be updated with a custom ROM firmware as the ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) has just been installed into its system. Run the tool and see which its options are. You will use most of it when you will apply the mentioned update so get used with the same. Remember that you have on Android.gs how to guides from which you can learn how to flash a custom or beta ROM like CM 9 on your Xperia S so don’t hesitate and follow the same.

Now when I press the power button, there is a vibration boot the screen doesn’t light up anymore. It stays black. The phone only starts up in fastboot mode when connected with a PC. I need to urgently solve this problem as the phone isn’t mine.
No matter what I try, the phone won’t boot, no recovery menu, no nothing. Just a vibration and then it turns off. Please don’t tell me to find it myself or look through other threads. I did look and didn’t came up with anything.
I’ll also post the picture. Please have a look at it.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Ask me any question about the phone and I’ll try my best to reply as soon as possible. Also how do I install CWM now? Is there anyway to reverse the process via fastboot mode? :| Will the phone work? Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.
Regards.
with flashtool flash the original firmware or try to use PC companion to repair the phone.
To install CWM simply download from te market the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ..
Hi there,
OK, try not to panic - it sounds like things are not a total loss.
First thing you can try is to unplug the phone, and pull out the battery.
Then put the battery in after a few seconds, and try to start the phone again.
Maybe the phone will start up nicely again.
If the phone starts up again, then have a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634
(it shows all about rooting and flashing roms and kernels). Look for the section "Fastboot & Custom ROMS".
See if that can help you get to the next step with the setting up the phone like you want it.
There is another good thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
(it is a kind of reference that links to different places that can help you).
At worst you can pick a stock rom (one with a .ftf extansion) and then flash it with "flashtool".
This will definitely recover the phone, but it will probably lose data.
Between those two threads you should come right.
Good luck
flashtool flash back to stock .42 ftf always revive my arc s whenever it stuck at sony screen, never fail me unlike my galaxy tablet 7.7
Downloads of CWM gave me the same problem, use adb fastboot bootloader reboot and flash the appropriate version of TWRP. Find the links off xda to direct download from team win, don't download from 3rd party sites. Corrupted IMG's gave me a bit of headache when I started. It was fixed when I gave up on cwm & switched to twrp.

@deniel @Hotfingers @bruce16878 The phone is dead. When I press the power button it would vibrate and then nothing. No display. So I have to take out the battery. I tried PC Companion just now but it won't work. It can't detect the phone. The phone is only starting on fastboot mode. It won't even charge normally. Orange LED doesn't switch on. So I'm downloading the stock firmware and will try to install it with flashtool.
I hope this works. I did take out the battery many times and tried to start it but it won't. I'll update as soon as the download of the stock firmware is done. Thanks for the replies. Hope this works.

Don't attempt to power on the arc s when it's stuck, the outcome will always be the same, flash stock ftf via flashtool is the route to revive the arc s. Always works for me which is why I can enjoy flashing alot of custom rom on my arc than on my 7.7

Maybe you just flashed a bad kernel, or one that isn't made for your device.
EDIT: Dude you flashed an Xperia s kernel with cwm. Get a kernel for your arc s. ics or gb specific

Phone started! It booted up and is working normally. Am so happy. LOL. Many thanks guys.
Now can you people please ttell me how to install CWM? Some proper instructions, exact links to those threads. I did go through this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
1) Now I need to install CWM. I use it on my HTC and works great. I need instructions on how to install it. Please suggest a link.
2) I need to install a kernal. Want to overclock the phone to 1.6 Ghz. Your suggeestions or recommendations?
3) Have to install a good custom ROM with minimum bugs. I already have downloaded MIUI but can't install it since I don't know how to install CWM.
4) Is there anyway to reduce the consumption of the battery? I did reduce the brightness of the screen and some other measures but it doesn't make a great difference.
5) Any other tweaks you people recommend?
Again many thanks guys.
Flash a custom kernel or use pvyparts cwm installer for locked boot loaders.

For the XPERIA phones the best way to get CWM is to install a custom kernel.
Then to get into CWM you reboot the phone,
as the phone boots, you press (and release) "volume down" (just after the led light shines purple).
Most roms come with a custom kernel that uses this trick.
If not, then this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188 has a whole list of kernels that work with stock-based roms.
Enjoy - It's amazing how the right rom makes all the difference to this phone.

1)install x-part(the app i linked u before) if u want just cwm on your kernel(even stock if im not wrong)
2)try lot of kernel and choose the one u prefer: XArc, Lupus, Saga, ArcKnight ecc
3)Jellysandwich
4)reduce screen, turn off sync and nothing else. For better battery performance is better Stock kernel
5)custom roms have good tweaks

1. Unlock bootloader via HTCdev.com (look for guides there are plenty here)
2.Download http://www.mediafire.com/?pqtgftm40909r31 *updated*
3.Extract to C:/
4.Go to fastboot
4.Open Command prompt
5.type cd c:/WFS
6.type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7.wait for flashing to finish
8.Remove battery
9.Go to bootloader
10. click recovery wait for visuals
ROOTING:
*same as other methods*but..
1.move the cursor up then down until you see ( back button enabled)
2.Backup
3.Flash root.zip

I can answer this question: it is impossible. There are certain problems in work of this Mod. The first: does'nt making full nandroid backup. The second: does'nt flashing boot.img. It is necessary to develop this program still. But something, already is able: root, interface modding, ect....
Howdy.
I have flashed this recovery image and for the first time, can boot into recovery and see what I'm meant to see! Thanks. Previously (2012 hardware) I just hung on the white HTC logo screen.
Now, if I select backup and restore, press the power button, all the text disappears and I'm left with the central hat image... but nothing much happens. Pressing power again brings me back to the main menu. Same thing with -power off. The top option of reboot system now works just fine.
Any ideas? I'd like to backup my current system before flashing WildChild 3, you know - just in case anything goes wrong!
EDIT: immediate edit. cancel all of the above, I'm just new to recovery (obviously!). I went through the main menu a few times, it told me the back button was now active and away I go - backing up as we speak! Apologies!!! and thanks!

You must press one time into recovery volume + and several time volume - , while apear "back button is enable" and then such as in any cmw.

i.m using now a custom kernel on my wfs2012 (overclocked 815 MGz) without trouble, but i can`t flash any CM roms because it hapens error Status7 in CWM. I think that this CWM is too old to flash CM ROMs. But we have no any choise
Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.
What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.
I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.
I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".
I tried many many room whit kernels but stuck on bootloop every time, no way. I have never seen this problem before. Maybe bricked bootloader ?
I tried to relock the bootloader but doesnt help either.
Any help?
Ok, since you can boot into recovery can you flash you ROM.zip and try to boot into ROM? I also need some details:
- ROM you were using
- Kernel you were using
- How you got bootloop
Flashtool should work, try to recover using flashtool.

Before this happened i was using Ultimate HD 4.0 and Vengeance kernel ayame. The telephone was crashed and i didnt any backup. I tried to upgrade it to android 4.2 or 4.1 and the probleme begin I relocked the bootloader but doesnt help. I flashed it but doesnt accept any firmware, show Error flash bla bla bla Flash aborted. tried almost roms and kernels but doesnt help. I can install rooms and flash kernels, and boot up to recovery but after that is just stuck on boot animation or bootloop.:crying::crying::crying:
During the upgrade to JB, did you flash the kernel that came with it?
I assume you wanted to update to CM10/10.1? Vengeance Kernel is not compatible with JB. You need to flash UHD4 back to /system partition if you want to stick with UHD or flash the boot.img that came with the JB ROM.zip.
Do a clean install. Your phone should be working again if you do the steps correctly.
If you still have problems, you can reply to this thread or send me a PM if you wish to be more private about it.

OBS !!!!!! When i install rom and not working whit me i look on SD on pc if the installation files are there but nothing just the rom zip. I changed the SD but the same happened
Having issues realted to this one. Here's my device info. Hope it helps.
Device:
-> never been modded.
-> all stock rom.
-> stuck on a bootloop due to bluetooth.
It doesn't even have a recovery mod. So I'm pretty much stuck.
Can you help me out? And another thing, sorry for bringing this
old topic back. Haha.
Well let me explain. I wanted to tether, so I thought I would try and root and install a custom rom. I used Odin to install TWRP, downloaded NobleRom, thinking that it should work, flashed it and all it does it sit at the android screen when I boot up. I did a wipe and tried to install a "stock" rom that is apparently incompatible. My phone is a 920P. Currently lost and looking for direction for a slim, compatible rom that works.
HELP!

The reason your phone won't boot is due to the wrong kernel and even then won't boot (as I've tried). What I recommend you doing is booting into TWRP and installing Renegade ROM its is currently one of the only stable ROMs for our phone.

That's what the post above suggested. Thank you for explaining why. So from what you're saying, each rom is based on a particular Kernel? What other factors must be the same? I'm sorry if this is a dead horse, just new to me.

The reason your phone won't boot is due to the wrong kernel and even then won't boot (as I've tried). What I recommend you doing is booting into TWRP and installing Renegade ROM its is currently one of the only stable ROMs for our phone.

OK, I just installed Renegade and it's sitting on the boot screen with Andy holding a dragonball and a phone. Did I do something wrong?
