Hi everyone.....
after trying to install CM7.2 using this Guide by ridder215215 I ran into a weird problem.
*I was running R800a 2.3.4 rooted and with an unlcoked bootloader.
after I flashed the Kernel and rebooted the phone (step #6,7) the phone just died after the reboot.
I couldn't get it into Clockwordmode what ever I do I only get a vibration and the screen turns on with a black background.
after a miracle I got my phone into recovery mode and flashed the R800a firmware using flashtool. then I tried to install CM7.2 again.
the same problem occurred.... but now, I can't even get the phone into recovery mod to flash a stock rom!!!
HELP!!!!!
how can I force a recovery mode???
if anyone can propose an idea on how to install CM7.2, I would really appreciate it!
Right, using flash tool, select the stock ftf you want to return to (2.3.4 by the look of it) and set it off preparing the file for flashing. When it prompts you, with the phone turned off, hold the back button and connect your USB. That should put you back to stock firmware.
Now for CM7:
With the CM7 zip on your computer, extract the "boot.img" file located within and drop it int your fastboot folder within your Android SDK folder (usually platform-tools folder within the SDK folder). Make sure not to unzip the file. If you're using WinRAR, just double click the file and drag the boot file onto your desktop then move it from there to your fastboot folder.
Move the CM7 zip (now minus the boot.img) onto your SD Card. Also download the Google Apps (Gapps) zip to your SD
Turn your phone off. In your folder with the boot.img hold shift and right click, open command window here.
Hold the search button on your phone and connect it to your PC. type the following: fastboot flash boot boot.img
After thats done type fastboot boot boot.img and you should hear the USB disconnected sound. Your phone will then reboot. Keep spamming the Volume Down and Back button (some kernels use either one so spamming both always works) and you should get into CWM.
From there, Factoryreset/data wipe...Wipe cache...Advanced, Wipe dalvik cache.
With those wiped, you can flash the ROM with CWM.
You want to "choose zip from sd" and select the CM7 zip file. Wait for it to do its stuff then using the same method, flash the gapps.zip package.
Reboot (first one takes a while) and enjoy

YES!
is that the problem?
can anyone tell me a way of putting my phone into recovery(flash) mode???
it's just not working!
get your phone into flash recovery doing this:
Remove battery, connect usb cable, hold the back button and insert battery, your phone should start in flash recovery, flash a stock ftf
when thats done, youll have to root your phone(you can do it via flashtool) then install
busybox through flashtool then install this cwm : http://www.mediafire.com/?u26cuggxd2x54vb
inside the archive theres several files run the one that says cwm1
then when the sony logo appears check the led on your play as soon as it turns blue, tap the volume - button on a rampage, it will get you inside clockworkmod recovery.
i find it easier to flash the boot image through flashtool might want to give it a shot. hope i helped.

I get nothing but a vibration and the screen lights up with a black backround
but when I plug it to the computer, I don't get the vibration
if you turn your phone off, then hold the back key while connecting the usb, does the led on your power button light up on any color?
no light, no color );
how about fastboot, if you turn the phone off and while you hold the search button you plug the usb is there a blue light?

Hello!
I have a HTC One X (EU-version), and it's unlocked.
I used to have Android Revolution HD ROM installed, and would try a new kernel. So I downloaded the new faux kernel (faux_004b5_arhd_7.0.0_modified.img)
Somehow it didn't work, and my phone keep restarting. So I go to the recovery mode, and tried to reinstall the ROM, without whip.
After that I made a reboot, my phone keep reboot. Now I can't go to the recovery mode, either can I flash my device.
I really don't know what to do now.
I hope someone can help, and I posted in the right section.

I had that problem before too. If the "hold power button for 10 seconds then press volume down and power buttons simultaneously" doesn't work, download Quick Boot from playstore and it would allow you to choose to either Reboot, boot to recovery, or the bootloader
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
trick is to run 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'adb reboot recovery'.

When I hold the power button and volume down for 10 secounds, I come to the fastboot menu.
How can I download Quick Boot, when I don't have acces to my memory. I can't see what I have on my memorycard (obs. because I can't go to the recovery part), either can't connect to the computer, since I'm in a bootloop.
I'm afraid while I was doing this stuff, my battery was low. But it didn't die under the process.
Tyvm for the reply, but I can't install the quick boot.

Ty both for the reply.
EDIT: I followed my friends advise, and tried to erase fastboot cache, which seems not able do to. I just getting the message: < waiting for device >.
Dear God, what have I done with my phone!
Dear OP, I believe there is a solution. This situation has occurred with my device more than once. I too believed I had lost it until it resolved itself. There are several things you can do to ensure it works again. I wiped the ROM on my phone before the problem began, so I was stuck with a dead phone until I found a way to get recovery to work again. If it's possible, enter Fastboot and install a new kernel onto it, and THEN use fastboot erase cache. If that is not a viable option, make sure the USB wire is not plugged in when the device boots. By this I mean holding down the lower volume button and initializing the menu that allows you to select Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset and other command options. Once the device boots into the menu, you may then plug in the cable and enter Fastboot mode. If none of the above work, let the battery deplete itself until device turns off. Once you have done that, plug it into the wall charger, and then volume down and power up. If the device says something like "reading SD card", disconnect the USB and the menu will fully load. That is when you select Fastboot. Keep the device on, plug it into the pc and send your kernel commands to your device. Ensure that you also erase the cache via Fastboot. Your device should now be fully operational. I hope I was able to help.
Have found myself in a similar position, all the following assumes you're using windows as you desktop OS...
To double check your recovery is broken, get into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down), use volume down to highlight "hboot" then press the power button to select. Then press volume down to highlight "recovery" and press power button to select. If that works, then recovery is fine, just go ahead as you normally would to recover the system.
If you can't get into recovery then you have a slight problem.
Since you can get the device into fastboot mode, the priority is to get it to talk to your PC. Get the device into fastboot (power on while holding the volume down button). Once you're into fastboot, plug in the USB cable and verify the connection to your device using the following command :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show you a single entry for your device. If it doesn't show anything, then unplug the device, download the naked driver pack (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769) and unpack it into a sensible location. Plug the device back in, if it can't install software automatically or nothing appears you may have to use device manager to update the driver for the device. Find its entry in the device tree (it will probably be listed as an unknown device), RMB on its entry in device tree then select "Update Driver Software..." from the menu that appears, tell it to search automatically then point it at the location where you unpacked the naked driver pack. That should sort out any misconceptions windows has about not being able to talk to the phone.
Once you have fastboot access, you can reflash clockworkmod. You can obtain the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
flash from fastboot using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once flashed, unplug the usb cable.
Use the volume up and down to highlight "hboot" on the fastboot menu, then press the power button to select. Once in the hboot menu, scroll to the "recovery" menu item and press power again to select. You should find yourself in familiar territory at this point.
hth
EDIT : Sorry, it's nearly 2am here, I'm very tired and I've just re-read your initial post. If you've flashed a custom kernel then you MUST have fastboot access (or it's subsequently broken). Download your ROM (if you haven't already got a copy on your PC) and extract boot.img from it. Get into fastboot mode (vol down + power on) and plug into your PC. Do the following :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Unplug USB cable, use vol up/ down to highlight "REBOOT" then press power to select.If you get stuck in a bootloop, you can try going into recovery via fastboot (select "hboot" from the fastboot menu then "recovery" from the hboot menu), then select "erase cache", then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache". Then go back and reboot the device. See if that helps. If not, then go back to recovery using the aforementioned method and re-install your rom, then erase cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks for replies.

Yes, I was dumb, started at low battery level, even tho, everywhere says: Make sure you have more than 70 %.
I can't wipe, or install anything, since it's recovery mode that doesn't work
Atm., I charge my phone, because I need to have 10 %, I use "Stuck in fastboot with low battery. Use this BATCH file!" guide. So far it works.

Thank you very much for your answer!!! I read this this guide: 9/6 Mandatory Update Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0.
If that doesn't work, I will take closer look at your reply. No matter what, thank you very very very very much. I'm sure that reply will help some soul outthere (if not me, if it fail).
Thank you guys. You are the best. I will be right back here if I find a solution!
Tip: try 'Quick Boot' available on Google Playstore, it's a payed app but
it let you go straight into recovery mode.

Hey, I am having similar problem with my htc one x here. I did some stupid stuff, tried to install jelly bean and now my device is broken.,
So the thing is, phone is stuck at HTC logo, I cant access recovery mode. And my phone now says tempered and relocked at the top so I cant get it fixed with my carrier which is rogers.
I tried installing RUU for rogers but it says image error and wrong ruu. I can't find the right one and trust me i've searched everywhere.
I can connect my phone to computer and see fastboot usb. But other than that I can't do anything with it.
I tried flashing cwm but it says failed. I'll attach image here with it.
If there is any way to fix it, please help, I just bought this device and I love it, dont wanna lose it.
Also, I read that I can add custom recovery to the phone but without recovery menu I can't do that either.
Thanks!

I'm sorry to say that, but you're still in the wrong place, you need to go there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/help
Anyways, did you flash the correct kernel? Or did you just try to flash a recovery?

St.Jimmy,
I am a first time member, joined only yesterday (that is after my tail caught fire!); sorry to be still in the wrong place. Could moderators please relocate my post to the right location? Thanks a million to this wonderful site.
Thanks for the reply. I think installing CWR required flashing a "boot.img" file. The device gave up its ghost after flashing the boot.img file. As of now, there seems to be a slight improvement -- there is a red LED indicator that has come on when put to charging; it is faint, but it is there alright! Any chances of resurrection or is my phone really gone to its Heavenly Kingdomo?
I suggest u first charge it for 1-2 hours and then try using flashtool

Kedar,
Thanks. I have charged my phone overnight (10 hours). Still LED glows red. For a while I could connect in flashboot mode (LED=blue). Any help?

I can now sometimes connect in flashboot mode; flashtool initially recognizes the phone but when I try to flash a stock ROM, asks the phone to be connected (as if it has not already recognized the phone)! HELP PLEASE!!

might have a solution for the recovery if the fastboot is working
download minimal adb and fast boot from here
place boot.img in minimal adb and fast boot folder after installation
Put your phone in fastboot( hold power up key and plug usb)
open minimal adb and fast boot application
it will open a cmd window
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
after that type fastboot reboot
your phone will restart now
PS: your phone is refusing to boot because the recovery is corrupted
What if you fastboot a custom kernel with inbuilt recovery and then flash a Rom with the recovery?
Since you have fastboot working

You may try the method by @androidtweaker mentioned above as it is similar :thumbup:

First, what exactly did you flash to your phone and where did you get it from?

Androidtweaker1: Thanks. Cannot connect in fastboot mode. The blue LED comes on but the device is not recognized (adb drviers etc. no problem, all correctly installed, all set).
kedar: cannot connect in the fastboot mode. See reply to Androidtweaker1 above. Thanks
kingvortex: Thanks. I was trying to follow the following tutorial:
After downloading Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip, place it in external SD Card of your smartphone
Now extract Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now turn off your smartphones completely
Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
It will flash boot.img file on your device
Now unplug the device and boot it up
As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”
Now select the storage you have put that zip file in and just confirm its installation
There are two ways to navigate in this CWM recovery
You can navigate with volume buttons and make a selection with power button
Another way of navigating is by swiping your finger on empty area in recovery
Swipe up to move up, swipe down tp move down, swipe right to make a selection and swipe left to go back
After installation is complete, go back to main menu and reboot your smartphone
Congrats! You have successfully installed CWM custom recovery on your smartphones
I have a similar situation and I'm stuck.
Q: is working the minimal adb if in the settings was not checked the debug mode?
In my case I can go in fastboot mode each time but not help.
When I try to go in flash mode, there is strange because the flashtool say it it connected in flash mode , even the PCC say this, but the LED it's not green, is off, first is try to go green after get red and after off, but the software say is in flash mode.
I can try to flash any ftf, it's working without erors but my phone it's still dead after restart, even SONY logo is not appear, just vibrate once.
Other strange think, each time when I made a new flahing, there is a status message of device, it say that the version of ftf is 230 even if last time I was tring to flash 101 for ex and was finished without errors. Always show the same ftf version like nothing is changing inside. The only thing can change is the BL, lock or unlock and I can see this in the status device, this is made in fastboot mode and there I have the blue LED.
Can anybody give me some ideeas to fix this?
have the log of flahtool attached.
Thanks.

Hey, have you already solved your problem? I had the same as you and I could fix it, I will try to submit a post here explaining the steps I followed
I solved but in other way. I bought another Zl with the battery dead and I replaced the motherboard. I have it now working from gew months without any problems. The old motherboard is still broken.
I was stupidly trying to press the power down button (the internal one after removing the back cover) with a pen and now it seems to be permanently indented (but not actually registering as being pressed as far as I can tell). And can't get it to press (I read aluminium foil is useful here somehow? Not sure how?)
Anyway, this happened when I was just after unlocking bootloader (4.3 stock rom) and now my phone will not boot (loops at Xperia wave).
I have also flashed CM12 boot.img through fastboot, but phone won't enter recovery mode.
So the normally recommended rescue from this is to enter fastboot flash mode by holding power up when plugging in USB (this works OK), then using Flashtool to flash an ftf. Unforutunately the flashing procedure requires early on that you plug out the USB, then plug it back in while holding power down (can't hold power down).
Any solutions to this? Any way to flash anything at all in fastboot that will give me recovery, or a booting phone, or the ability to run adb reboot recovery (any way to reboot to recovery from fastboot?)
Thanks.

okay, now what you want to do? you want have recovery on your phone?
yes, some boot.img will give you recovery when you flash in on flash mode. but that can make your system incompatible with your custom boot.img/kernel. cause almost all boot.img is modified kernel with included recovery inside them.
if you want get recovery, try to flash your stock firmware again and do a full wipe data and cache on flashtool (don't forget to wipe or you will get a bootloop). after complete wait untill enter to home screen and let's do simple root on your phone using towelroot and install normal SuperSU. after done, try to look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61626285&postcount=1. install that recovery using adb command. after done you only need to reboot and you've recovery mode .
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------
and try to move your thread on Q&A thread not General thread. i think more people will try to solve your problem here
Its very complicated. My T705's power button was damaged by water. And i flashed Stock MM rom with odin. It was fine after flashing, the tablet boot into the os properly, work very well in the os.
But then i want to wipe the cache and data after that, so i was using the code"adb reboot to recovery" to get into recovery mode because my power button was broken. (I thought it can be using home button to select in recovery mode)
But the nightmare is i can't select anything in recovery mode which requiring a power button. So i can't wipe the cache, also can't select the option to reboot my tablet...... I've tried to hold both the volume down and home key to go to the download mode menu, and select restart by holding volume down, but it go to recovery again even after removing the battery, i think it's because the adb command.
And the strangest thing is i can't use my volume up button in download mode menu, so sadly i can't flash the rom again,:crying: but the volume up is working well in recovery and in the os......
Is there anyway to prevent the tablet to boot into the recovery again? I'm quite sure it's not the problem when flashing MM rom, the problem should be the adb command makes my tablet boot into recovery until i change the boot setting in recovery mode.

Holding vol down + home key can boot to the download mode menu.
But the device will automatically turn on after inserting the battery, no need to press any button, but the device only boot into recovery after i use the adb boot into recovery command.

If that's the case that means the power button is stuck on or you wouldn't be able to power on or boot to Download mode.
All you need to do is flash the stock firmware or twrp and it will reboot back to the OS.
Hopefully I've got your fix:
When you insert the battery your device boots up, if so, insert the battery and press the correct key combo while the splash screen from logo.bin is showing to boot into the download mode.
After that flash TWRP latest version with Odin. Then when your phone again boots to recovery, chose Reboot -> System to boot Android.
---
If the above isn't applicable and you can start Android somehow, I will download either FlashFire or MobileOdin to flash another recovery/ROM.
