I think this is the safest topic to post my problem....
I've installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263625
I'm not really happy with it, but I cannot go back to recovery mode. I did it before by tapping the sony logo, but it's not there anymore. I'm tapping a lot but nothing happens.
How do I do that???
Try to reflash the recovery again. Or flash kernel which contain recovery if you bootloader is unlocked.
Maybe press vol+ when kernel logo appears? Mine work like that in Xperia Ion with TWRP.
Worked Arnob, but I can't install my old rom. When I walk through the setup it installs it, but when i reboot it's stuck in looping the trinity rom

Still no solution. I want to get rid of it but I can't!
Flash again/or another ROM with Flashtool. You must put your phone in flashmode.Will solve your problem.

I don't get it? What is your phone actually doing? If you hold volume up and power for like 20 secs does it vibrate 3 times?

dont flash the rom through fastboot, just flash the kernel (which you seem to have done) then when the phone starts turning on keep pressing the volume down button. you will then entry recovery on your phone. from there you can flash your custom rom.

if you see se logo then you haven't flashed doomkernel.
try again, follow the guides on this forum, get your phone back into fastboot mode and flash the kernel "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

hey my problem is cant going to flashmode !
i flash my phone via SETOOL and TESTPOINT but still no FLASH MODE :| when plug USB (even holding back or menu or volume down or NO holding key) phone going to FASTBOOT MODE :|
my phone is now booting but in SAFE MODE
Safe mode (
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

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.

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.

Hi, I have the same problem and I followed your instructions but while the new firmware is installing from the sd card, the phone shut down.
It seems like it has no sufficient power to finish the operation. In fact I tried to plug the phone to charge the battery and that don't work...at least the led is not on (but I'm pretty sure it's not charging).
After that the only things I can do is to power on again and see the boot loop.
Any idea on how to solve?
Thanks.

Ok then last thing that i can suggest before you send it in for repair is that you download a diferent firmware (diferent update.app file) and try to flash that. If it fails again then send it.

Hi guys,
could anyone please help, I've been playing around quite a lot with rooting and flashing, but now I'm stuck with a problem I can't solve...
Device
Galaxy Tab S 8.4 WIFI (SM-T700 klimtwifi)
Starting point
Flashed CM12 , with CF root and TWRP
Everything ok, but had some trouble with wifi and root, so I wanted to flash a new rom.
Problem
Tried flashing another rom (can't remember if it was AROMA or BlissPop...), but the flashing got stuck.
Now I can only access Download-mode, not Recovery and normal boot gets stuck in the white Samsung-logo, I get past first screen and some other Samsung-animation.
What I've tried
Access to Recovery, not working (I have a stock-backup on internal SD)
Flashed stock image via Odin (T700XXU1ANL1_T700AUT1ANL1_HOME.tar.md5). Should be on right now, but no change in working.
Re-flash TWRP via Odin (tar-file)
Have I missed something? Any problem with going back and forth between Android 4 and 5?

After flashing the stock image, factory reset in recovery again.

To elaborate, pressing vol up + power + home does not have any effect. Pressing vol down + home + power gives downloading mode as normal.

Sounds like one of the partitions is damaged, its strange because when you flash the stock firmware it relays all the partitions, just to verify you downloaded one of the big factory images from sammobile.com that's 1.6gb big, then flashed with Odin the extracted tar file...also you might not have a custom recovery installed if you have so vol up and home n power wouldn't work......
Maybe your way out of this is going the other way, flash a custom recovery through Odin, then get into that and use it to install ironrom which is like stock but cleaner.

Try pressing power +vol down and up together+home and then as soon as screen goes dark/black press power+vol up+home hopefully that will get you into recovery.

Just to elaborate when flashing stock through Odin it wipes your custom recovery and root...hence why you need to use auto root again through Odin.
Cheers guys for your inputs! I'll only get my hands on the tab this evening, so I'll test your solutions then and report back-

Try pressing power +vol down+home and then as soon as screen goes dark/black (just before you enter download mode) press power+vol up+home hopefully that will get you into recovery.

Sounds like one of the partitions is damaged, its strange because when you flash the stock firmware it relays all the partitions, just to verify you downloaded one of the big factory images from sammobile.com that's 1.6gb big, then flashed with Odin the extracted tar file...also you might not have a custom recovery installed if you have so vol up and home n power wouldn't work......
Maybe your way out of this is going the other way, flash a custom recovery through Odin, then get into that and use it to install ironrom which is like stock but cleaner.

Yeah, flashed T700XXU1ANL1_T700AUT1ANL1_HOME.tar.md5 2,4gb
Tried flasing TWRP, no difference. Maybe here's the timing as well...

Have you edited to vold.fstab file

If you have edited the vold.fstab file then try to flash a stock rom via odin with the pit file of your device.

No clue about vold.fstab, so I seriously hope I haven't edited it

Yeah, have to make sure I have done it in right order, Stock -> Root -> Custom Recovery... I've tried so many solutions that I'm starting to doubt myself.
Unfortunately, I find myself in the same situation, I do not know what to do.
Have you flash pit file via odin because maybe your device partitions corrupt during rooting.

Okay sounds like you've hit a dead end but don't panic your not the first to hit this point with t700.
Okay here's what I want you to do,
1. Open up device manager and completely remove your adb driver making sure to check the "also delete driver " box if shown
2. Download this http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html the latest Google adb drivers ..DL this ready actually.
3. Completely disable anti virus..remove if you have to, along with windows defender .
4. Restart
5. Download "i know it seems mad" the austrailian firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43233/T700XXU1ANL1_T700XSA1AOA1_XSA/ and extract the file inside the archieve
6. Right click Odin and run as administrator to be safe.
7. Go for gold and try this...if it works your laughing and can change the firmware or ROM to any local area.
8. If...this doesn't work...restart one last time n try again, if still no then try using another laptop or PC if you can
Good luck keep me updated...I am trying to find you another solution too, got an idea with something called heimdall but not sure as never used it, supposed to be an alternative to Odin.
Hi All, finally had the time to sit down and test your solutions. As it happens, the first (easiest) thing I tried was the timing in pushing recovery boot, according to great help of Maxal. Worked on first attempt, booted into stock recovery, wiped everything and stock rom booted. I was prepared to do it all, so it was funny that a few well-timed presses of buttons solved it .
Now I'm rooted with TWRP and BlissPop again. Thanks everyone for great suggestions and assistance!
I also solved, it was enough to wait for the battery becomes exhausted, recharge the tablet and once off from entering recovery and do a factory reset.
The system is restarted.
