[Q] Stuck on SONY logo after "status 7" error

Hi,
i tried to install one of the custom ROMs for Xperia Arc s (JellyBean_V03). I have stock ICS 587, rooted. I installed CWM through X-Parts. Entered recovery, wipe/factory rest, wipe cashe, dalvik and than flashed jellybean_v03.zip from sdcard. It stopped at "initializing update" and than it showed ERROR "status 7". I tried one more time - the same. Restarted phone and now it's stucked at SONY logo. I can enter fastboot and flashmode - i tried different kernels - still no luck. I Flashed Baseband V77_Global.TFT - no luck. All of them are flashing with some kind of errors, after witch flashing is continued. I dont know what to do. I've read a lot of threads about it but i cant find a clear solution and i dont want to do more damage Now I'm downloading SEUS - i try that one, but i dont know if its possible to run it if my phone i detected only in fastboot or flashmode.
Any help would be appricieted

Hey again, trying to delete this link. SEUS helped.

Hey,
i flashed through SEUS, than recovered everything, than rooted again. I didnt try to flash any other firmware until i find out more about locked or unlocked bootloaders, cuz i think this is my problem.
duythanh28:
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service, run it and it will guide you through the process. It will install the latest, stock firmware, wiping all the data.

thanks for your helping, i will try when i go home

I have the exact same problem. They say flash a new rom but how can I flash a new one if windows can't recognize my device? I can't enter flashmode nor fastboot. BTW, did you fix your's?

Have you tried another computer or USB port, formatted your PC even?

Download SEUS from SONYmobile website and follow the onscreen instructions. You should be fine. And - as XperienceD noted - try another USB port if SEUS wont be able t revive your phone.

I had encountered this problem once before.
After trying to flash a custom ROM,PC Companion and SEUS doesn't recognize device.
Flashing stock ROM did the trick.
You should try it.

[Q] Someone help, Samsung Galaxy S3 wont boot.. :((

Hello, I honestly hope someone can help me !!
My phone won't boot up at all. I keep getting the Samsung logo with the words "recovery booting...." in the top left corner but it never boots into recovery mode.. I'm able to go into the other mode(forgot the name of it) but anything I flash in Odin fails.. Does any have any ideas on how I can get my phone back up and running.? I really need your help
What cause this..?
I wanted to flash a rom so I booted into recovery but didn't know how to backup my phone using Android System Recovery 3e. There was no option for backup. I then proceeded to flash cwm_Superuser_v3.0.7. When I tried to reboot after the "pass" flash, it never went into recovery and now everytime I take the battery out and try to turn it on, it still wants to try to reboot into recovery... ( HELP ME PLEASE..!!!

http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Prerooted_Odin_tar_files/(NO_WIPE)SPR_L710VPBLJ7_ROOTED_JB.7z stock with root just flash in odin. From there since you'll have root access already just download goo manager and use it to flash a twrp recovery if u need it.

I'll try that right now and let you know what happens. Thanks
What's the best thing to do if Odin keeps failing.?

Check your drivers. Switch USB ports. Swap the USB cable. Reboot pc

Still fails... I think because it's trying to boot into recovery but it isn't there..

The odin flash is a one click fix all type of deal. You do have the phone in download mode while you're attempting this right?

ODIN!!!! I love it.

woops...I hate that feeling...sorry

From what I've read you don't have CWM .. You have the stock recovery..You can't flash ROMS in stock recovery.. Does your phone boot up at all?
Personally TWRP is a better custom recovery anyway in my opinion.. CWM is so outdated..

It sounds to me like you didn't have debugging enabled on the phone,or didn't flash the cwm recovery tar in odin correctly, and jumped a step. I would completely start over, making sure you have the phone drivers installed correctly, then install the custom recovery.

Yeah, I tried everything but it failed everytime.. I fixed my phone tho, I used another laptop.
For some reason my laptop don't like Odin. I uninstalled the Samsung drivers, got rid of Odin, reinstalled everything, tried again but it still failed.. I don't know why my laptop is doing that but I got it now.
Thanks everyone for your help.!

Ok, so I am not a noob..But I hadn't flashed anything since owning my orginal Evo..I followed all the steps for chain fire's root and have root access. I installed TWRP and haven't played with any gs3 roms yet so I went into twrp's list of compatible roms. I downloaded carbon and gapps. I tried to flash. What happens now is the same thing as this poster above me. I can boot into download mode at which point I attempted odin..after that process I booted up and still no recovery. I did manage to flash Carbon, just very poorly apparently, because all that happens when I boot up is that is says startup wizard has failed and gapps has failed..Should I try to use odin with the link provided above as well?

Flash another kernel and another ROM.
Make sure they are compatible.
Which kernel and ROM are you trying to use?

You must not use SEUS if your bootloader is unlocked. You might brick your device.
Try using flashtool. Get into fastboot mode and flash custom kernel like LuPuS which already has CWM recovery. And then you can fash custom rom you want using Install ZIP from sdcard option in CWM.

Try pressing back key instead of volume down. This will work.

since you unlocked your bootloader you can just flash a custom kernel which will have root/recovery

Unlocking bootloader caused to go into bootloop

I recently got my Xperia M updated into 4.3 JB and rooted it. Since I had my eye on the cm11, I had to unlock the bootloader. So I did everything perfectly as prescribed in the sony developer site. As I unlocked my bootloader, I tried to normally boot it but it is now stuck in a bootloop. I installed CWM by fastboot thinking that it may help.Please help me!!

thats normal... follow steps
1. flash ftf again
2. boot once
3. install cwm
4. flash anything u want

Ok, I will try it. Thanks

Another question: After installing CWM there is no bootloop but it shows only sony logo ,then the phone goes down and can be booted again when battery is reinserted. Is it normal? Can I still flash it without any problems?

The same problem after I installed cwm. After that everything was back to normal.

Thanks everyone, now I am relieved a little.

I cannot flash it. When I connect the phone in flash mode after the flashtool has prepared the files an error comes that processing of loader.sin finished with errors and flashing is aborted. Please help me!!

Can flashing a custom rom using recovery help me beacause the flashtool won't work using any of the ftf files?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos stuck at the first boot screen: What to do?

Please help me I flashed CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.md5 via Odin earlier and then I tried to flash probam_aosb_kk_1.3.7_i9082.zip via CWM but it failed (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed). When I restart my phone but it boots into the CWM Recovery only so I flashed exitrecovery.zip via CWM, it didn't work so I tried exitloop.zip, it didn't work also. So I downloaded another rom which is CosmicCM-4.4.4-5.6.stable-20141003-030024-k2wl-i9082.zip and flashed it but i got the same error (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed). I looked for solution on that and turned my phone off. After that I can't go to CWM Recovery anymore, it shows only the first boot screen logo. I can still access the download mode though. :crying: What am i going to do?
