Xperia S wont load! HELP!

i decided to unlock my bootloader on my already rooted phone to try out some new JB roms. I installed Sspeed kernel and RecoverX which was fine then I followed the instruction to install the latest PACman rom by wiping all the caches and the system in recovery before flashing the rom. Problem is I accidentally left out the flashing and went straight to reboot phone. NOW THE PHONE WILL NOT GO PAST BOOTLOADER ANIMATION.
I tried using flashtool to flash stock rom. The phone is connected in fastboot mode but will not flash! PLEASE HELP!
Many thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:

To flash stock rom you need to be in a flashmode, not fastboot.

Ive done that few times just install any kernel via fastboot, then you will be able to go to recovery its just that recovery is kept in system partition, so you wiped all the system and recovery flash any kernel that has recovery build in, and you will be good to go

Recovery boot loop

Hey guys I'm new to the forum so please tolerate my lack of knowledge. I've already flashed a few s3's with roms, so I'm familiar with process. I bought another s3, installed cwm recovery with odin, and then went into recovery and flashed su. Rebooted and made sure it was rooted.
I then did something different, which was updated to newer cwm recovery using rom manager. I rebooted into recovery using rom manager. I went through all steps and flashed darthstalker v3 (I've already flashed this on other s3's successfully many times). I rebooted system, but instead of booting into rom it keeps booting back into recovery (cwm, not android recovery). I can get into download mode and flash stock rom with odin. I tried repeating process and used twrp instead of cwm, but still can't boot into rom. It keeps rebooting into recovery (cwm or twrp). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Does it do it with only that rom?

Try completely wiping your phone then PC Odin using root66 in download mode. Afterwards, let the phone sit for 15 minutes. Reboot the phone then download and install GooManager from the Play Store. Open the application and press the menu button to access the options. Press 'install openrecovery' and go through the installation process. You should now have no issue with your device.

I haven't tried it with a different rom, but I've repeated this process with different roms on several s3's. Only thing I did different was install cwm from rom manager. Thnx

Yes, before and after rom installation. Problem remains.

Will try that tomorrow. I got hasty and hardbricked it ((. Foolishly flashed exitrecovery.zip, not realizing it was only for LG! Getting it unbricked tomorrow, and will try your suggestion. Thnx.

[REQ] stock recovery (GT-I9190)

please :laugh:

I believe flashing back the stock rom via Odin will also flash back stock recovery

Yes thats correct! Flashing back restores your recovery in most cases, BUT not always. Little chance cwm is still there and you'll get prompted with a notification that ''stock recovery will be present at next reboot'' when you leave clockworkmod with either yes or no.

Try flashing the official stock firmware, then try to flash CWM, or even better Philz Recovery. Since CWM is not sticking, battery pillout and all doesnt help much!

Wrong.
On every flash of any custom recovery on stock ROM, we need to go to the recovery on the first boot otherwise stock recovery or a file in /etc will overwrite it.
The solution is indeed going to recovery on first boot after the Odin flash and flashing Fix-Recovery.zip file.
No offence

Stuck on Samsung logo and no recovery

Hi,
My friend's note 2 got stuck on Samsung logo boot screen and whenever I access the recovery, it loads that android robot logo for a second and then restarts. I still have access to download mode, I have tried flashing a stock 4.3 rom, CWM and Philz recoveries with Odin but still same problem exists. I flashing using PDA button, should I try the bootloader or something?
The phone was on stock rom but she doesn't know the exact version and I assume it was on a 4.1.x rom.
Any help?
Thanks

Here is what you do,go into ODIN mode and get the .tar.md5 of philz touch 6.19 or twrp 2.6.3.2 flash it via odin and uncheck "auto reboot" that you see on the left side of the ODIN app,let the recovery be flashed in ODIN and once you see in GREEN saying RECOVERY PASS exit odin and using the vol down +home + power button keep it pressed until you samsung note screen let go of all buttons as soon as you see it and you're recovery will load within 5-10 seconds (twrp loads faster than philz) if you keep the buttons even after seeing the samsung note 2 message then it won't go into recovery,btw your friend's phone has she upgraded to official 4.3? or still on 4.1.2?

I tried twrp now with unchecking "auto reboot" and still same problem, I think you meant volume up not down as down will get me into download mode again.
It loads till the android robot recovery logo with the moving hollow cube , it keeps moving for a second or something "loading" and then phone restarts by itself and gets stuck on samsung boot logo again.
She doesn't know which android version she was on, she in not that much into phones so probably with factory rom "4.1.2".
After all these successful flashes, Odin still says:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System binary: Official

you might want to follow this guide and try to re root her phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 i followed that thread to root my note II ,but do remember that guide is only for users who are official 4.1.2 or 4.3 ,if your friend was on 4.1.1 you would need to download the official firmware from your country 4.1.2 that is and then follow the rooting guide,hope it works out for you,do let me know the end result

Just one and simple Question: Can you access "Download Mode" ?
Sent from Gallifrey using TARDIS

Try Wipe data and cache
I had this problem too after i clicked on factory reset in my rooted 4.3 n7100. Found the solution from a thread but i forgot where it was.
What I did was boot into recovery and perform "wipe data and cache". After wiping data, my note 2 are able to boot again...
NOTE: you will lose your data saved in your phone once you wiped it...

Simple answer is yes. He quite clearly stated he could access download mode already in the OP.

Please OP, try multi-package firmware !

Ooops! Sorry ! Forgot this
Btw, I suggest OP to flash a firmware which is Multipackage (it contains a PDA, MODEM, BOOTLOADER etc)
Idk where you can find one (if i does exist because I mostly update my Note II using KIES)

Try use odin to re flash the twrp recovery 2.7.0.0-to3g version. It fixed my loop boot with out loosing all data
Hope this work for you too

If there's a bootloop, you may have to reflash the firmware. Hopefully you have the file on the external SD.
Try to reinstall twrp or PhilZ, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom anew.
Also check before whether you have the correct bootloader for the Rom you want to install! (e.g. MJ5 or else).
Greets and good luck!

Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. There is a thread on here for it but it's closed because of Microsoft signatures. It has a recovery package. You may lose your data but it will fix the phone.

U said u flashed 4.3 in her phone isnt....
Just give it a try these steps..(warraty may void)..
1.Flash stock 4.3 rom once again into phone.. After reeboting remove battery.. Then put it back.. go into download mode
2.flash CF-Autoroot with odin (dont forgot to chek reeboot on odin). .
after reboot cf-autoroot autimatically starts its rooting process...(if it starts u won half the way)
If u have luck it will reboot into system..(wait for 5 mins in boot screen)
3.If it doesnt... try flash philz touch using odin into phone..
In most cases philz touch flashed after cf autroot fites the custom recovery... .
sometimes knox enabled bootloader wont fire custom recoveries instead it fires stock recoveries
