Hi folks,

I tried to flash 4.0.4_Xperia-S_deodexed-V2.5beats using CWM(previous version stock 2.3.5). I did cleared the cache and all the stuff, but now i cannot boot to OS or CWM or anything, literally i can't use my phone.
It just shows up screen with Sony Ericsson Logo goes no where.
Please help me guys I want to install any custom ROM on my phone please suggest me
Thank you so much guys.

You have probably wiped data too which is a factory reset. Run your back up or reflash.

i reflashed an old version 2.3.4 and every thing is working fine, got an OTA update on phone and downloaded the update using wifi and it turned off as the part of update process, thats it and never turned on :crying::crying::crying:
i tried again to flash the same version but never worked!!! what can i do now

Flash THIS with the flastool and report back.

i tried that just now and it does the same result, after flashing the .ftf file it says to take the cable off and turn it on. It never turns on but when i press the power button it blinks the green LED (donno what it does mean!!)
any ways thanks for your suggestion.

Try THIS instead, if that doesn't work then not sure.

I had the same problem.
Flash the rescue package created in beginning of pimping. If that doesn't work re-install your ROM.

Full wipe along with reflashing ROM fixes it. Also check GetRIL from Store.

how is possible to reflash with fixes?

I meant that reflashing rom and full wipe fixes the problem. If it doesn't work you're doing something wrong.

what wrong really i putted before 5 mins new rom with perfom full wipe but the problem still there.

Did you try getril a couple of posts back.

i did get it i downloaded all europe basebands and there is no solution to this i don't know what the heck is wrong with that.

[Q] HELP - Wiped the OS off of my Galaxy S3 I747

Alright, well I've come to a problem and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
The title pretty much says it all, I've completely wiped the operating system off of my phone. There is nothing left, absolutely no data or anything. I was much too hasty and irresponsible, and I fear for the worst. I had previously attempted installing multiple ROMs multiple times using CWM to no avail so I re-rooted and switched over to Team Win. I know before installing a ROM you have to wipe your phone, well... I hit advanced wipe and within that I hit "system", went ahead and wiped. There's nothing left on my phone my phone and there are no ROMs on my SD card. I had backed up my phone before wiping but when I wiped that was also deleted. Before restarting it always warns me "No OS installed on your phone, are you sure you want to reboot?" Of course it's bricked and stays at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" screen. I attempted putting a stock ROM back on my phone through ODIN, but a'las it didn't work (always stops at "SetupConnection"). I have nothing and there is no way for me to get a new ROM on the phone, I obviously cannot connect to my computer unless through download mode because the phone is bricked. So, what do I do? Is there any hope left for me or am I just completely screwed? The phone is less than a month old.

another option is to purchase a micro sd card and place a ROM and gapps (if required) on it, install the card and boot into recovery.
so when you connect your device to your pc, you're getting a yellow com connection in odin? what link did you follow for a stock ROM?
as long as you can still access recovery and download mode, there is hope, buddy.

Yeah, when I connect to the PC I get a yellow com connection in ODIN. I followed what is, perhaps, a sketchy looking link for the stock ROM... It's not letting me post a link because I'm a new member to the board, though I've looked over this place plenty of times in the past. Should I look for something a bit more official and retry? I don't think it's going to work. Will a ROM work, without an OS? I know that may sound silly but everything I've tried so far has failed.

here's a link to the stock firmware with root already injected: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
flash the tar in odin like you have been. make sure the auto reboot box is unticked. if you get a PASS after flashing, unplug the device, pull the battery, replace it and press the recovery button combo. once in recovery, wipe data and wipe cache. reboot.
lemme know if that worked, otherwise throw a ROM on a micro sd card as stated and go that route
btw, a ROM is the OS.

And also, my phone has to be rooted for a ROM to be installed, right? Well there's no guarantee my phone is still rooted since I've wiped literally everything on the phone. I like the idea of a placing it all on an SD card but that could be wasted money and I don't have very much money to spend, especially if a ROM isn't going to replace all of the needed system files which have been deleted.

Have you installed the Samsung drivers?
---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
Can you explain what happened with your phone? How did you "lose everything?" Is it able to boot up into Android? Can you get into recovery (TWRP)? Did you accidentally wipe something you shouldn't have?

I accidentally wiped my OS on my Galaxy S3 AT&T - Please Help!!!
Hello all,
I am a rookie user of smartphones and I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. I accidentally wiped my OS leaving me with no OS. The good news is that I can still use Team Win and boot into recovery. How can I download and install a new OS? I live in a rural area with no place to go to get this fixed; so I would really appreciate any and all help on this matter. Thanks for reading

Need to completely reset phone back to box settings for resale.

As the title says. I'm selling this phone (not for performance issues, just I want the iPhone ), and I need a step-by-step
guide on how to COMPLETELY wipe it. No logs, nothing. Back to original out-of-the-box phone. Thank you!

Performing a full data format with a custom recovery multiple times will leave no personal information. Then you can go do your restore to stock ROM

Is this your first phone? First android phone? I mean a quick google search would of told you how to reset as well. Also factory reset is just that a factory reset that puts your phone back to factory specs like when you first got it. Also better information in your post would of been to let us know if you were rooted or not and not your bad phone purchasing choice.... j/k not really LOL
Hope you got it all sorted out if not let us know we will be more than happy to send you off the right way :good:

This is my first android phone, yes. It was rooted as well. I'm having a problem resetting though. I oem locked, flashed to stock recovery, and tried to do the adb usb thing. However, it keeps saying that it cannot read file. Please help! I reinstalled the drivers already. Thank you!

how to downgrade to android 6

hi
I have an HTC 10 Nougat 7.0 v2.41.401.4
phone is unlocked and S-ON
It's camera stopped working so I googled and I did a lot of work (clearing cash ,master reset , .....)some told it might be a software problem so there is a chance by downgrading to Android 6 and camera might work!
how could I do that?
I'm not professional at this would you please explain with detail?
Is there any official Rom higher than mine(v2.41.401.4 )?

I don't see how that would fix your issue, but in any case the only way to downgrade to 6.0 would be to pay for S-Off first.
You could try running the ruu for your current version and see if it helps. It would restore your phone to a fully virgin state.

I really dont know how could it help (downgrading)but some people who had same problem told downgrading to android 6 helped camera came back!
you mean I download RUU with the my current version and flash it ?

Yeah that's one thing you could try first and see if it helps. Don't forget that it completely wipes your phone so back everything up.

You don't really need TWRP to clear cache.
To do that, you go to setting -> Apps -> Camera
Click on Storage, at the very bottom, there is clear data and clear cache buttons. <You want to back up all your pictures before clearing anything!>
A factory reset will also do the same thing, but that would erase everything on the phone.
Both the steps assume something in the software is messed up, and you are returning the phone to virgin state to start over.
Clearing cache/data in camera app resets the app in case some setting is messed up. Factory reset should restore all settings of the phone to default, get rids of all added apps, etc. More drastic step is to reinstall the firmware in case it is corrupted. You can do that with TWRP if you have a nandroid backup, or use an RUU from HTC.

(I downloaded TWRP for HTC 10 -one file about 30 MB- and after installing through twrp I wiped all cash and after reboot camera came back also with auto focus problem and bad picture quality)
well only it was OK for one hour and after that camera gone!!!
Its a hardware problem
All things done by me was useless !!!
I recommend you send it to HTC support (warranty)
and don not waste your time like me!!!
