Screen stayed in samsung

Mine is stock 2.3.6 rooted.
I tried to flash other rom today after installing cwm.
However, I am not familiar with flashing...after flashing and reboot, the sreen only stayed in samsung
also I could not restore in cwm , as it said it failed to do( I pressed backup before in cwm..why it doesnt work)
and How could I install the stock rom again now?
download mode and recovery mode is available
I tried to use odin to install recovery again and the stock rom again.(installation is successful)
however, it just keeps rebooting(now showing the samsung-->GTS5660-->animation-->animation again-->animation again)

finally it is working now, as I tried to flash many times
However, I dare not to flash rom anymore..and I do not know really how to flash rom

go to recovery and do factory reset and then reboot

Installed CWM, but I don't have the options for flashing internally

I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5

Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.

I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP

Confused and need help

Hello xda members,
I own a Xperia Arc, was running android 2.3.4 and decided it was time for a new rom for the phone, i carried out a couple of steps but in the end i got stuck, and i can't get into cwm recovery to restore or install a new rom, and i cant even root the phone, here are the steps that i carried out in order to try and install a new rom( Sorry they are long):
1: rooted my Arc using a program called "Eroot v1.2", I enabled usb debug mode and connected, pressed the button and it rooted it, I managed to see the superuser app installed and i also downloaded an app called "root checker" which verified that my Arc was rooted successfully.
2: I downloaded a program called "recoverx" to install cwm recovery on my Arc and once again it was done successfully, i switched the phone off and back on while holding the volume up button and i got into cwm recovery.
3: I went into cwm and made a rom backup
4: I downloaded the new rom (Xperia Ultimate HD Rom) onto my sd card and went into cwm recovery and deleted everything such as wiping the
data, and a factory reset, and i deleted the delvik cache and the bettery stats
5: I went to the install from sd card, and installed the new rom, and at the end i unchecked the "Reboot" button, and it took me back to cwm recovery and pressed on reboot into cwm
So after this point everything seems fine and to me im sure iv carried out all the correct steps, but....
6: after this point the phone rebooted, and after the sony logo, it gave a black screen and was stuck at that screen no matter what, at that point, i could not get into cwm recovery anymore.
7: After reading and searching the internet I managed to educate myself that i was supposed to flash something called a kernel, so i downloaded a tool called sonyericssson xperia flash tool, and downloaded a kernel called lt15i_4.1.b.587_kernel.ftf and flashed it, turned the phone on only to find that my Arc was stuck in a boot loop, it was restarting after the sony logo immediatly.
8: I then downloaded another kernel called lt15i_4.1.b.431_kernel only.ftf and flashed it which cured my boot loop and the phone booted successfully, however my main problem now is that I can no longer root my Arc, and I can no longer get into cwm recovery no matter what.
Iv also read about using the fastboot method to install kernels but when i do it, it says failed as the phone is not rooted, so now i have no way at all of rooting or installing the cwm recovery.
I currently have a locked boot loader as well.
So if anyone can please tell me how i can sort this problem out it would be amazing, or if you could just tell me what i did wrong or where i went wrong and how i can sort it out, I really want to install cwm recovery and just restore my old rom back, or even install a totally new rom.

You can't flash kernels
Try SEUS or PC Companion to repair your phone
Then root it, install CWM and restore your backup
For UHD you need ICS kernel so update your arc to official ICS, then root it, install CWM and flash UHD

Stuck in CWM recovery loop

Hey,
I'm trying to flash NEXPlay onto my device and I'm having a problem, my phone keeps going into a CWM recovery loop. I've tried twice to get this to work to no avail.
There are no instructions on how to flash the ROM correctly on the thread from what I've seen so I followed the steps provided on my other ROM's thread (NXT Lite). I flash the .58 Enhanced firmware using FlashTool and then select "FastBoot" and then "Reboot into fastboot mode (Via ADB)". I then click "Select kernel to Flash" and flash the Kernel that is required.
The phone then boots to recovery so I cleared the cache partition, Delvik cache and wipe data. I flash the ROM and it takes a while (probably due to the size) and finally it says "Successful". I select "Reboot system" and the phone shuts down, displays the "SONY NEXPLAY" logo and then boots into recovery. I keep restarting and it keeps doing this.
Any ideas on how to fix this? If it persists I might just go back to NXT Lite. I have an R800i model with unlocked Bootloader.
*EDIT* I just installed exitrecovery.zip and that doesn't work either. I have no idea what is going on.

[Q] hard brick problem please help me

I am using Xperia zl c6502
i tried to root my phone
and i did root it but it was not proper but i got root permissions with supersu and rooted with .230 stock firmware
so i already have a flash tool in my pc and all the drivers
and had recovery
i was not happy and found a new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/development/rom-ultimate-dualxzl-ultra-v1-t2989281
every thing goes well till the end and i rooted via recovery mode
it was written that
FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS
1. Copy The AROMA ROM v1 Zip To Ur Phone
2. Backup Ur Datas If U Need It
3. Switch Off and Reboot To Recovery
4. Wipe Data Factory Reset ( Recommended )
5. Flash AROMA ROM
6. Simply (Carefully ) Read All Options In Aroma Then Proceed
7. After Installation Do Not Choose Reboot option In Aroma. Un Check it . Click Finish AROMA and Then
8. Flash Any 292 Based Custom Kernel Zip Or Flash .292 based kernel
9. Reboot 3 or 4 Times To Get A Stable Performance
so i flash .292 based kernel via recovery mode which i downloaded before starting to install everything
in the end it installed well and i rebooted my phone to system
but
screen remained black, no recovery now, pc dont recognise phone on connection
i did hard reset from the back button manually
and try to connect to flash tool to flash new rom
in flash tool on pc
after few tries
first my phone was disconnected
then it did.nt recognise my phone and asked which was my phone i tapped xperia zl
then it shows device connected when i check device status via fastboot mode
it shows adb connected with usb debugging
but no recovery, no displayon phone and no root
at the moment
i have these problems
sometimes flashtool can detect my phone in adb mode with usb debug and some times it get connected in fastboot mode
but i was not able to flash my previous rom via that flash tool
neither i was able to go in recovery nor able to boot my phone
it just a black screen
and after hard reset it shows orange light when i plug it in for charging but screen is black
what should i do please help.

If can connect via flashtool... then try flashing a stock kernel... and see if it boots... bt the best thing in my opinion is to download a stock firmware and flash that via flashtool...

thanks
as i was trying to connect via flashtool now on win xp my phone was detected by system and i installed flashtool in win xp and drivers. then i was able to flash the stock rom by flashtool.
now my phone booted again am happy..
but my phone was not on the stock rom as it was before
it appears it rooted on the aroma i think but am confused what to do next
should i reinstall the aroma again fresh via recovery?

Try to flash a different rom this time and check whether its working or not... if it does then mayb redownload your previous rom again n try that... again...
