Can't boot into CWM. Blank screen - Sony Xperia M

Hello,
so today I've successfully unlocked my BL and wanted to install cm11.
I've downloaded appropriate files, succesfully flashed the boot.img via fastboot. But when I tried rebooting to cwm (while holding vol up button), after Sony logo I only get black screen.
There's no way for booting anything.
I don't want to reflash stock firmware again... what's the matter? Why can't I boot into CWM and install cyanogenmod?

Just to be clear: not only does the cwm not boot, neither does the system.

Jesus christ. Never mind. I got a brain-fart and didn't follow proper instructions. Happens even with the best

Which phone did you have

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery.

I have been messing with my S3 lately and just tonight I tried flashing the newest compatible TWRP recovery so that I could run SlimBean on it, which is recommended, but after I flashed it, the TWRP recovery, my phone would no longer boot into recovery. It will boot into download and will boot normally. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Recovery booting...." text in blue but then goes to a black screen where I can't go any further. I have tried booting into recovery while completely turned off with Volume up + Home + power, with ROM manager and with goomanager. No matter what I try it refuses to boot into recovery. Any help would be very, very, very appreciated!
Where did you get the recovery? Get twrp from my sig and flash via Odin. Should get it going again.

I originally got twrp from their site the first time I attempted to flash it and also tried flashing it directly from goomanager.
Thank you, I'll try it right quick.
*EDIT* I tried the twrp you said to and it crashed my odinv3.07. I'm going to download Odinv3.09 provided by you and attempt it again. Any tips on changing the twrp file from a .zip to a .tar file?
There should be a .tar.md5 fir each version. Use that with Odin. The .zip files are for flashing in recovery, which wont work for you atm.
Sorry about the late reply but after I flashed the twrp from you with Odin v3.09 it booted right into recovery! Thank you so much!

[Q] Can't boot into recovery but can boot normally-xperia S

Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?

Bootloop after flashing TWRP 2.8.7.1

I was trying to root my device and was following a guide which instructed to flash TWRP, then rooting kernel and finally a ROM of my choice. After using Odin to flash TWRP the phone booted to the TWRP menu on which I chose to reboot the system and the phone got stuck on the black welcome to galaxy screen and it just kept on flashing that screen. I was able to boot to the load screen by holding power, home, volume up key and using Odin to flash the original image file.
Question is am I following the correct order to root this thing and if I am what could have gone wrong?

After the phone rebooted to the TWRP recovery you should have flashed the rooting kernel before rebooting
the phone in twrp. You need to go back into twrp recovery (you will need to odin flash twrp again).
Here is the xda link for Jovy23's stock rooted G928T kernel: (flash this in twrp recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557
If you flash the wrong kernel the phone will be in a constant bootloop and or it will get stuck on the logo screen.
Good luck,
Have a Happy New Years.

can anyone help me? phone is stuck!

okay so i tried to flash a cypher OS rom on my sultanxda CM13 and my phone is currently not going into recovery so basically i am stuck in fastbood mode . my device state is unlocked and when i restart or try to go into recovery the phone just turns off and does nothing. the only way i can actually turn the phone on is by holding volume up + power + home (hard reset tactic)
can anyone help me?
so where do i go from here? i tried the toolkit unlocked and re-locked the bootloader, tried to flash stock recovery img, tried to flashing twrp, nothing works guys.
flash Original Rom
Make sure you're using latest modified recovery (28) by eng.stk.
From your description the phone most probably doesn't actually turn off, it just displays black screen (common issue caused by TWRP incompatibility).

You re-locked the bootloader while you were still on a custom ROM and/or recovery?

Unable to load temp CWM on Z00AD

I have a Z00AD that has never been rooted and recently I was trying to update the stock via OTA and it got stuck on the logo loading screen.
I then used the guide here (https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-2-with-cwm-recovery-and-supersu/) to get into temp CWM, which I then used to flash a new stock rom (UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.223-user.zip) via extsd .
It flashed successfully (loaded to the launcher) and when I try to get temp CWM again to flash supersu and root the phone, it wont work. After the T4 process is done and it just says completed, press any key to continue, but the phone just stays in fastboot mode forever. I had to turn it off as it got pretty hot.
Help?
Is anybody out there?
Welp, guess not.
