Hi
I'm looking for help. I totally messed up my Xperia Play. Phone has been rooted and flashed. What I have done was using CWM i have formatted system data and sd card. Now phone not even want to boot, just black screen with Sony Ericsson in the middle. PC not recognised USB connection. Is there any way to bring it to life ?
Thanks in advance.
Flashed any roms?
Look after some tutorials about fast boot flashing if you don't know how. If you do then just find any kernel and flash it. If you can enter Cwm then simply flash the ROM which suits your kernel.

My epic 4g touch is doing bootloop in the 4g screen. Need help. any ideals how to recover this. I tried flashing rom but clockwork sees no files in external sd card. Plus, how do you transfter files to your internal sdcard in clockwork?Any help is appreciated. Thanks
When I had to recover from a bootloop I actually had to remove my sdcard, put the phone in download mode and reflash it. Flashing with a .tar on your SD card has caused many problems for me =/
As a rule, here is my emergency ROM evacuation plan:
1) Can I get to recovery? If so, I will simply wipe everything (factoryh reset) then reflash fresh.
2) If not, then just boot to download mode (power+volDown) and Odin over a clean kernel (most bootloop issues are going to be from a kernel issue)
3) If all that doesn't work, then flash a stock rom from scratch using Odin
It sounds like 1 is not an option to you. I don't think you can copy from sd to internal without mounting them on a pc and doing the copy on that side.
In any event, you are gonna need a PC.
HTH
You can put files on your SD card by enabling SD mount somewhere within cwm. However I would listen to that guy^
That is probably the best way to "abort" a ROM

Oh and I wanted to ask: what ROM did you install because SD mounting doesn't work with any of the AOSP ICS ROMs...

With ICS, I haven't been able to mount anything but internal storage... But I have been rooting since I got my first Intercept on day 1. I'm a danger seeker
My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?
Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.
There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

I had the same issue when I first unbricked my nitro. I did find the solution on xda but now cannot remember where. Basically I had to pull my mSD card put it in a mSD to SD adapter install it on my laptop, backup it up (very important) format with fat32 put it back in my phone. Boot into recovery, partition and format the card with CMW and then restored my backup. It then worked. I think it has something to do with the way LG formats the card and the CMW bootloader...just a guess though.
Edit: found the post... hope this helps

Hey guys. Really need some help. I couldn't start my SXS after completely draining it. It starts, shows kernel logo, then XPERIA then the system startup animation. Then after that, the screen freezes and restarts again. What should I do? I tried using TWRP USB mounting so I could flash my custom ROM (existenz black v2) but I saved it in my laptop so I used the usb mounting. But when I did, my internal storage wouldn't show up. I can still flash the kernel I am using because I saved it in my internal storage. Please help. Thanks.

Hi folks....This is my first post, so be gentle with me !!- Sorry if this post is in the wrong section?
I recently rooted my Alcatel 4030x running 4.1 using Framaroot. I have Superuser, Busybox, Titanium Backup installed too.
Everything has been fine, but this morning upon a regular reboot, the device is stuck on the Alcatel splash screen.
I discovered how to get into Sys Restore, but didnt know what option to choose. Out of desperation , I chose factory reset, which was fruitless.Next I tried restoring from the extrernal SD card, but I think the reset wiped the card.
What should I do now? Does Framaroot create a back up somewhere, or will I have to re-install a ROM (Will need guidance!)
Bit lost what to do, I have only had the phone for 2 months, so any help would be appreciated
Cheers:good:
If your bootloader is working try wiping all cache and factory reset. If your problem persists again download a stock rom or custom rom and flash your device.

Cheers Nikhilrj.
I have tried all options in the retore menu, but no joy...
My computer can see the handset in Device Manager, so I am guessing the phones not toast yet....
I am fine with reinstalling Windows, but I haven't a clue with Droid, but I'll give it a whirl.
Apart from custom or stock roms, what other software/files will I need?- one of the options was installing from ADB?
I am guessing everything I need will be here on XDA somewhere?
Any further hints or tips would be great...
Thanks again
You need to flash custom recovery first before installing roms. Download a custom recovery for your phone and try to flash it in bootloader. If it fails, try using odin. First check whether your download mode is working fine. Power off, wait for few seconds.. press power on button, volume up and the home button.(just like you did it load boot menu. In this case you are pressing volume up instead of down). If thats working fine. Then download odin. :thumbup::thumbup:

Mmm I think I get you...Should I save the custom recovery to the SD card and select it from the boot menu?
Will have a look now for the custom recovery.
Cheers
Yes. You must imsert it to external sd card.

Have you ever used rom manager?

If the phone is not booting, then the external SD (SD 1) wont mount? I have found a root and cwm recovery (.img files) and placed them on the card in a folder. The folder is not there when I go to it ....(other folders are showing )
Is the SD card listed the internal (SD 0)?
No. The external sd card should mount even if you are not able to power it on and you should be able to see all the files and folders. Try it again. Go to bootloader-external storage- and check in the folder or you said your computer is detecting your phone.right? Then try using odin. Hope you know how to use odin or I will assist you.before that check it again

Hi .
You mention Odin? I have been lead to believe this is for Samsung only? My handset is an Alcatel S Pop 4030x.
