[Q] Flashing Xperia Pro Ultima Gets Me Stuck On A Boot Loop

Hi guys!
The title itself is pretty self-explanatory. Basically, before flashing my rom, I flashed the stock firmware and rooted afterwards with DoomLord's kit. After rooting, i installed CWM Based for my Xperia Pro(in RecoveryX), put the "Xperia Pro Ultima Generic 1.1.1" on the sdcard and flashed it using CWM. I really do not know why everytime I flash it, it gets stuck on a boot loop. Its been stuck for like half an hour now so I reflashed the stock rom. Any ideas???? I'm tired of cyanogenmod.

How to install
1. Download Rom and copy to SDCard
2. flash provided kernel using "fastboot flash boot <kernel name>"
3. Boot CWM
4. Flash the zipped rom using CWM.
5. Reboot & Enjoy

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.

The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?

I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

This is the Galaxy Nexus forums, that firmware aka ROM is for crespo aka Nexus S

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too

I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.

quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet

[Q] Tried to flash a kernel through hasoon2000's kit, now stuck on htc logo screen

Hi, I'm a complete noob and I just used Hasoon2000's kit to root my phone. I accidentally flashed the stock kernel because i thought that was a part of the rooting process. Now my One X is stuck on the logo screen. I'm a complete noob and I would really appreciate help without sarcasm.

Which rom are you using currently, you just need the kernel from that rom which you can flash from fastboot.

We need to know which stock system version you had to get the right kernel ideally or if you have a custom recovery you could go and flash a new rom which will have a kernel to go with it (depending on your hboot version).

I've got 4.1.1
I've also got ClockworkMod. I wanted to install cyanogenmod. Can I do that? Also if the battery is low can it recharge while stuck on the logo screen since only then I can see the red led indicating charging. Oh and I have hboot 1.36.0000

Then go ahead and install the latest CM. Your hboot is compatible !

I could be wrong but I think it charges when in custom recovery but not at the bootloader? Also you can mount the internal storage to your pc from custom recovery to copy a zip onto the phone.

Can you give me a link? I've been trying to find one for the past hour. All of them require the sd card.

Flash this recovery, your battery does NOT charge in that old recovery
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
Then flash the boot.img from the cm10 rom. Its inside the zip
Then you make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10 and right after that the gapps file (all can be downloaded from the cm10 thread)
Reboot and done
Edit :
All flashing can be done with the toolkit

Right, Thanks. But do I place the downloaded recovery in the recovery folder in the kit files? I did that and i don't see new recovery in the toolkit. But I'm assuming that's not what we're supposed to do anyway...

Right, so I tried to flash the recovery from the fastboot folder.It tried to do that but battery was low. I'll deal with that, but just tell me, can I flash the rom and the boot.img the same way as that?

You can put files into the storage by booting into cwm recovery, selecting mount USB storage, and connecting it to your computer.
For how to flash ROMs, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 second post.

Battery too low ?
Oke put this file inside the fastboot folder on the pc (you have the fastboot.exe file, should be in one of the folders in the toolkit dir)
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
Execute this file with the phone in the bootloader ! It will continuing to loop your bootloader and charge it little by little. Let it run for about 30 min and then flash again the recovery. The recovery name must be just "recovery.img" so rename it if needed

So after I've done that, How would I flash the rom, I can't mount sd storage through cwm because it says " uns error, no such file or directory" I formatted the usb earlier, could it have something to do with that? Is there any other way?

Thats because i told you to flash the new recovery first from the link i gave you. That one is able to mount the sdcard so you can copy the rom + gapps to it

[Q] Bricked my One X, really need help of a wiser people. Please

I've been following xda for a while now, but this is my first post so please take it easy on me, if I posted this in the wrong thread.
I am not new to rooting and costom roms. I have successfully rooted one phone before and I used it for a more than a year, didn't have any problems at all. Yesterday I got myself HTC One X and today I tried to root it and somehow got myself stucked/bricked.
The phone is stuck on HTC Quietly brilliant screen. I can get into bootloader, but thats it. What can I do? I already tried to flash back the original ROM, but couldn't get device to connect to PC. I looked all over the forum and googled it and still can't seem to find the solution. Any help would be highly apprechiated.

Something went wrong when I tried to root it. It probably didn't go through with it. I tried to flash a stock rom back, after I got stuck but it won't go, because I can't connect with PC.

Which recovery have you installed? If it's twrp you can mount SD from there put a custom ROM on it with superuser (root) flash that ROM from recovery and you have root. It's by far the easiest way to flash a custom ROM to get root instead of getting root on a stock ROM.
And BTW, the hox is not easy to brick of you ask me so don't panic (yet)

need to be more specific. did it happend just after you tried rooting? or did you try to install/flash rom/kernel/(recovery etc)
try to root again . use this tool. its the easiest. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
i m no expert but from my experience your problem occurs when you flash incampatable kernel..also, we cannot s-off our one x so you have to flash the kernel (named as boot.img, if not , you rename it) manually via fastboot. (download sdk tools) when flashing new rom.

As you said, I used that tool. I installed HTC Drivers, registered at HTCDev, got TokenID, submitted it and unlocked Bootloader. Everything went ok, the only thing that was wrong was with the MTP device driver, which failed to install every time. (I think that was the reason why it disconnected with PC). I then procceded to Perm Root where it got stuck on the phone with red explanation point screen. From there I could still reset phone to a normal state like there was no changes.
Then I tried InsecureBootAndRoot, followed the steps and shortly after it started rooting, the program closed and it was stuck here. I tried to do it again, but I got the message: Waiting for a device.
Can you explain in more detail, how to flash kernel manually, if my computer doesn't recognize device?

No, I haven't. I am now practically without a rom (I think). I would prefer custom rom (like cyanogen).

The problem is that everytime I try to do anything for example, flash back factory RUU, I get the message: device not found. Is this because of problem with drivers. Someone please help me out

If you want cyanogen you need a custom recovery like TWRP. That recovery you can flash through fastboot but like you said there is something wrong with your drivers. Did you install HTC sync on your PC. And did you enable USB debugging in your current ROM?

Yes, I got CWM recovery. I just discovered that. I installed and uninstalled all the latest htc drivers and htc sync many times. It enabled debugging mode, the last time I was on stock rom (don't know if you can check that now in bootloader?) If my phone is not rooted, than I can't install custom rom right, because I think it isn't. how can I check that?

No you don't need root to flash a custom ROM. Flashing a custom ROM will give you root. So you are doing things the wrong way. If you can get into cwm then make sure you have cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip on your phone. Extract(copy) the boot.IMG file from cyanogen. Then from cwm do a nandroid backup, full wipe except SD card, flash cyanogen, flash gapps. Then from cwm boot into boot loader, make sure you place the extracted boot.IMG in your fastboot folder on PC and in command line give commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img then: fastboot erase cache then: fastboot reboot Then you can unplug USB and it will start cyanogen and you have root.

Okay, so I installed latest CM10 and gapps. How to extract boot.IMG form cyanogen?

I extracted boot.img from Cyanogenmod zip file (that is the same for everybody, right?). I did a Nandroid backup like you said But now all I can do is wipe data/factory reset (CWM Recovery v5.8.4.0). I can't find an option to wipe only selected things.

I was blind, but now I see! I got it running. Everything works great. Thanks to all of you, especially to J_Dutch :victory:

Glad you got it up and running! Hope you enjoy the custom ROM, with every other ROM you flash you will need that boot.img to be flashed separately.
Ps. Please hit the thanks button if somebody helps you. It's designed for that.

simple question, do you flashed the boot.img inside the rom using fastboot?(fastboot flash boot boot.img)

Simple answer.
No.
Now what ?

This isn't normally required on the M8, unless its some quirk specific to MIUI (which is a ROM I don't a have much knowledge of).
Make sure your TWRP version is up to date.
Make sure your hboot is up to date.
Wipe user data and cache (default wipe in TWRP) before flashing the ROM.
Those are the most common reasons for no boot after flashing multiple ROMs.

I dont use TWRP. I use Philz Touch recovery.
Where can i download latest TWRP ?

That may be the issue right there. I know some folks are still using it, but Philz hasn't been updated in a long time. And since some newer ROMs have issues with older TWRP builds, I would assume the same would be true with Philz.
