HI all
Sorry if this have been covered else where, i am stuck, or rather my phone is.
I performed a hard reset the other day, and it has been stuck in a boot loop sequence since.
I have performed the hard reset again ( a number of times) again to no avail.
The screen shows the Sony Logo then the Xperia animated logo, then goes back to the Sony logo.
I have attempted to flash the phone, but as it is in the wrong mode i believe i don't get the result i need. I am not to fussed about the data on the phone, but i wouldn't mind fixing it.
please see screen grab from the attempt i made with the flasher. My apologies if i am in the wrong place, done the wrong thing, poor syntax
i am a noob with a dead phone.
Any help or pointers to the correct link would be most appreciated
Dude,
Have you unlocked the boot loader?

no i can't say that i have. i'll give it a bash and see what happens.
To get into flashmode, press VOLUME DOWN when connected to computer.
Hope this helps
Mate,
If you haven't unlocked the boot loader you can try downloading Sony update service and reflashing the stock firmware.
This method will wipe all data on the phone but you will then be able to use it.

I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?
Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader

I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?
I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!
Feel free to ask

Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?
I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?
Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.

Ok so here's my issue ... I flashed cm9 and then went to Jellytime however when I went to go back to cm9 I got smacked with the error message MAGIC VALUE MISMATCH at the boot screen. I won't let me do anything! I'm not a expert but I have been using android since the G1 so I'm pretty confident with my way around this kind of stuff. I tried flashing into recovery and using adb yet nothing seems to work it would only give me a message saying waiting for device. I simply feel defeated and helpless with the monster ... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
I am assuming you are using the unlocked bootloader? Can you get into fastboot?

no .. anytime i try to run something thru the command it just reads waiting for device
That shouldn't ever occur on the a200 boot loader in unlocked mode. Its possible the boot loader was locked again, not sure what process you did to flash to cm9 again.
Power on holding volume up and see if it goes into download mode.

hello
i have been in this forum for a while now and its awesome to learn how ours phone work.
thks for the help
right now i have a problem, i got a lt26i (my boss phone), he gave me the phone a few days ago, saying that the phone was inoperable due it always appear "recommender app is not working".
i took the phone, made a backup and then try to "restore the phone" to default, the process went fine, the phone rebooted and when finished the restart process, the phone was exactly in the same way it was a few minutes ago.
that surprised me, but, i continue with the next step, USE FLASHTOOL.:fingers-crossed:
i was confident with this step, i did select the firmware LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf, and everything went fine, and again when the phone restared, nothing, in the same spot.
after that, i thought that maybe if i install a custom kernel and rom, maybe i could have access to the phone again, but no, due i cant take root access or install any recovery program.
i dont know what else can use or do.
thks in advance for your response
AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
regards

Its bootloader, is it unlocked?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Dude,
You could also try Sony update service to push original stock firmware to the device.
But this will wipe all data and will only work if you have not unlocked the bootloader
Sent from my Xperia S using xda app-developers app
well, the bootloader is unlocked, so i guess im $%"#ed! any other ideas?

Does the phone communicate with ADB at all? What operating system are you using on your laptop/desktop? I can help you get it back up and running again.. Hit me up here by pm and I'll give you my contact info to get a hold of me to help you out!

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

We don't have that ROM? You flashed a sprint rom? You flashed the wrong kernel flash arom for this phone and you are fixed. You are not bricked until you cannot turn on your phone

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?
Just curious

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Hey on the positive side if you brick it you can re-enforce your home...
Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock. I now have a better understanding of it all. I have rooted and unlocked many phones. Eris my first. But this is my first S-off and thanks to all the help from xda members like yourselves I know what I have.

hey all
got a gsm GNEX that was stuck on bootloop.
have tried every way to unbrick it i could find flashing with odin, rootkit and fastboot and adb... have flashed android 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 and CM-11
same thing happens everytime every seperate flash the phone will reboot 5-10 times then say "updating apps" will finish that and go into a constant bootloop...
im wondering if the phone is either hardbricked or if its a hardware failure.
any help would be great
cheers
Hardware failure. Your internal memory is fried. Try to lock the bootloader. If its still unlocked on boot, you know it for sure.

Thats a good sign. Back up everything and unlock it again. Then try to flash the stock rom via fastboot. Without any toolkits!

Did you use the flash-all.bat or did you flash everything manually? The lines could be an electrical issue or its an issue with the screen..
