Hi guys.
My problem is that I tried to install cm11 on my xperia so I rooted it, then I unlocked the bootloader and then I installed CWM.
So I started with the wiping, and though im quite used to the procedure I made the mistake of wiping data, cache and... system :/, Ive done it before but this time the cm11 zip failed to install and though I tried, it kept telling me there was an error with some changes and it aborted.
Was kind of busy so turned it off, big mistake, as I expected, when I tried to turn it on it started the bootloop.
So here I am with its battery fully discharged and no OS on the device.
But my fear is that now it only goes into fastboot, but when I try to set it on flashmode the led quickly flashes green, then red and then none, and it doesnt go into flashmode. So im out of ideas as to how can I recover it.
Do you think it is bricked? Is there a way to get it working again?
I thought about getting it to sony, but I dont know how they'd react to my flashing mistakes xD Wanted to ask you guys first.
Thanks in advance to anyone. And pleasee tell me theres a way around this xDD

u don't have recovery!?
before try to flash rom
try to install recovery first and then through recovery try to flash.
if u side-loaded rom in internal memory and aborted error appear try to install it from usb-otg.

The things I wiped data and system partitions, the zip is still in the internal memory but I have no access to it.
Im trying to say I cant even try to turn it on or enter recovery without it going into bootloop.
Can you tell me more about that otg-usb? What do you mean?
It wont even get into flashmode.

fastboot is enough to install recovery.
follow this;
Installing recovery using fastboot
-
after installing recovery cwm or twrp (that u can find them in dev section)
it s time to install rom (flashing rom)
then u should boot into recovery. almost of recoveries have built-in file-manager it means u will access to ur file in internal memory.
if u cannot install rom from internal memory then connect usb by otg cable.
it means transfer flashable rom.zip to USB-flash memory and then connect it to ur phone and install ROM from it.
hope to have success

Hello, I got a problem when I flash the ROM for my desire with Clockwork 3.0.0.5 , need your help !!!
Thanks at first !!!
before flash the ROM, I have do the completely wipe and right partition for SD card (Fat32 +EXT4+EXT4+SWAP) or (FAT32+EXT4) according to the ROM requirement.
then after flashing, the flashing successful is displayed. but when I reboot the phone, it will keep in the first screen, and dead there.
And I have also connect it to the computer with ADB logcat, but nothing reported , it seems dead .
I have tried so many ROMs, only one or two ROMs can be flashed successfully and working ,also the information can be reported via the ADB logcat, others just display successful in recovery mode, but dead after reboot( I have waited for nearly 40 minites, nothing happed only the first screen ).
I only want to flash a ROM with new sense and data2EXT, but failed all the times!
please help me and tell me why !
thank you very much!!!
Does anyone know why?

Why does it fail?
Try booting up with a completely FAT32 SD card and see if that changes anything. You could also try flashing with ClockworkMod 2.1.0.7 (what ever version it is) because you can get some errors with CWM 3.
Yes, I have tried for many times, and every time it is successful in the recovery mode and no error message reported,
but after reboot, it still dead at the first screen
why?
No idea. Devices are tempremental sometimes
I guess you could just wipe your phone clean with an RUU, root it again and then see if anything changes. Something could be corrupted.
Help! no one knows why???
Hi there, i tried to theme my xperia arc and the screen just went black after i replaced the file (think its called system-framework.apk or something like that) I thought i could change permissions after but i couldnt.
Now i'm stuck in a reboot loop and cant use ADB to change permission etc. since i didnt have USB debugging enabled. So i wonder if there is any way to get ADB to work or to enable USB debugging outside android so i can fix this issue?
Thanks!
I really hope reflashing won't be an option since i put alot of time to get rooted on 2.3.3 with locked bootloader.
Reflash is the only way, we've all done it, and it's all part of the learning curve.
Yeah i guess so :/ Thanks anyways mate
Hi, can anyone help me? I think iv gone too far down the wrong road. I was trying to flash to the .266 and got stuck in boot loop. The flashtool says preparing files for flashing, it has been saying that for too long. I did not backup system apps just pulled them. I dont know what to do next

restore to stock by PC companion of flash stock fw. again..
Hello everyone here, im a noob around these parts but hope that this beautiful community might help me.
So heres the deal, my gf got an xperia m, that outta the blue started acting out, what i mean for this is, rebooting, outta nowhere and eventually a couple of days later it died.
Making my investigations to get to the problem and therefore the solution, she stated that putting it on the SUS or SONY Pc Companion didn't help at all, plus keep getting error 0x0000067 or 0x000007d5 on PC Companion.
After seeing this, she says tried to unlock the bootloader to install a CWM 6.0 for the 15.4.A.1.9 software, wich it had running, didnt got through since the moment she enter the command through fastboot to check the bootloader status throgh the command fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability but no response just stuck on three dots.
Also tried to flash through FLASHTOOL installing the drivers and everything as ive done with other decives checking everything is okay, which they are, since ive succefully recovered an brick C1904 using CWM with a previous Backup, but the tool gets stuck on flashing loader and wont give a percentage.
Tried Flashing remotely the CWM.img to the boot, but it wont flash, always failed, as for specifics about the code, If really needed ill post them on the next reply.
Hope Someone can Help me,
Regards Jmaquilon
Which error are you getting while flashing the recovery? is it something like remote command not allowed ? If it is then try to flash the recovery in the boot partition (I have done the same many time cuz there are some problem s with my current kernel)and what happens is instead of system the recovery boots up ..
If this doesnt works then try xperiafirm it may bring your phone back to life!
Hope it helps!
Just flash stock rom using flashtool software. Download the Stock Sony Xperia M Rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699085 and flash it using flash mode in flashtool. Good Luck
hi all im hoping u can help me i have an xperia play which i tryed to root using cynogen mod 12 but it fails on install it will then reboot and show the blue cynogen logo but sit thier untill battery pull. i can access cyonogen recovery but thats all. ive tried installing other roms such as 9, 10 and 11 but all do the same thing (although 11 does seam to install/unpack).
i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully. i also used flashtool to flash the boot.img.
i have heard i could fix the problem by sideloading another better recovery tool but i dont know how to do that. as off now im stuck in cynogen recovery.
any advice you could give would be greatfully appreciated, at this point im completely out of ideas and if you need anymore info i would be happy to provide it
thanks in advance
Hi,
It would be nice if you linked the exact ROM you tried to flash on you phone. It sounds like the boot.img is incorrect.
You can try flashing this kernel forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804003 . This one is for ICs roms(4.0.x).
Or this one - for Jelly Bean versions(4.1-4.2) - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861970 .
All you have to do, is boot into fasboot mode and flash the given .img file as boot.img. (The difference between 480p and 720p kernels, are that 480 can't capture 720p videos, but sometimes 720p kernel doesn't work with all roms).
hi tnx for the help the rom i tried to install was cm-12-20150314-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-zeus
i think your idea would work but im unable to boot into fastboot mode as i used flashtool before and it doesnt recognise my phone anymore ( i dont know if i can use ADB as that option is available on my boot loader)
if you could provide me with a link to how to flash a new .img/rom using another way other than flash tools that would be really helpful. im sry to be such a noob, i have rooted every phone i had and never encountered this problem before and am completely stuck.
tnx again for your help
ok ignore my last msg i managed to flash the .img in fastboot no problem but now it wont let me into recovery mode so i think im stuck in some infinate boot loop no matter how many times i click volume down it just reboots after about 2 mins, anything i can do about that or am i now really bricked?
tnx again for your help

Well you could try to return to point zero by flashing your phone to stock rom and try to begin from there.
You can do that by using flashtool and downloading stock ROM from these forums.
BTW, you can enter flash mode by inserting usb cable and holding search button(i think, you can try other buttons). Your LED has to turn green, blue is fast boot.
Also if your flashtool give you errors, download earlier version (see some other threads about flashtool, there are links to older version). Maybe it doesn't recognize your phone, because of the new version, i've had problems with it too, but i had to download old version and everything started to work as expected.
Hi people,
Today I unlocked my Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and installed latest twrp recovery 3.3.1 successfully(no errors until now, butter smooth). After that I flashed "CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-RELEASE-z2_plus-20200122-0608" without installing GApps. This time the ROM booted successfully. I was able to use the phone and make calls.
Then I installed the GApps " open_gapps-arm64-9.0-stock-20200131.zip" downloaded from OpenGApps.org. This time around, when I booted after installing GApps, the phone showed the welcome screen, but got suddenly turned off. After that the phone just shows ZUK logo and keeps rebooting.
To fix this, I went to recovery again, wiped clean DATA & DALVIK CACHE & CACHE & SYSTEM & VENDOR partitions, hoping I would start from the beginning and again install only ROM and not GApps and hoping I would be able to use the phone.
Now this time around, even though I wiped every partition that TWRP shows, the phone just kept rebooting without starting Android OS. So I cleaned again everything using TWRP(cleaning DATA procedure) and then transferred ROM zip files to phone and again flashed only ROM. Still the phone kept rebooting.
Now I got pissed off. I flashed factory ROM using QFIL method. This time after the boot animation it went straight to "Shutting Down" dialogue and again the phone restarted.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH MY PHONE?
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG THAT EVEN AFTER CLEANING ALL THE PARTITIONS AND FLASHING USING THE FACTORY PROCEDURE, THE PHONE STILL KEEPS REBOOTING?
Is there any other partition that needs to be cleared(which the TWRP does not list)?
Can somebody just tell me how to get out of this?
(Please explain the steps and the reason for each, as I am a noob in this matter).
WAITING FOR ANYBODY'S PROMPT RESPONSE AS MY PHONE IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
what ZUI version you flashed with QFIL ?

I again flashed the Stock ZUI 2.5. ST ROM using QFIL. But before doing this I had moved the SIM Card to another fone, so this fone was without any connection. This time the fone booted up successfully. Then I reflashed the Carbon ROM mentioned before and flashed Flame GApps Basic edition as suggested by you. This time the fone booted up successfully. But as soon as I connected the fone to internet, it downloaded something from Google Play Services in the background and again it started the same problem.
SO BASICALLY WHEN IT DOWNLOADS SOMETHING FROM GOOGLE IN BACKGROUND, IT STARTS THE REBOOTING NONSENSE.
I searched the internet for this and some articles on the internet suggested that "Google Dialer" component is causing reboot. Those articles suggested that if the "Google Dialer" is not set as the default dialer, it reboots. BUT HOW TO SET IT AS DEFAULT, WHEN IT STARTS REBOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND IT DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH TIME?
EVEN THE EARLIER GApps 9.0 stock package that I flashed had warned to set the "Google Dialer" as default, but upon boot up it kept rebooting.
Even initially I started this UNLOCKING AND CUSTOM ROM FLASHING exercise after the factory ROM started rebooting after updating "Google play services".
So this seems to me an issue from Google.
Has Google done this on purpose to make people switch older phones to new ones?(Because I own a total of 3 android devices and only this device is rebooting not the other ones).
Looking forward to your reply.
Greetings Buddy..how's life going??
Ok once again I hv read ur op regarding ur problems. Let's start from the beginning. Boot up to twrp and format the data first before wiping everything. Try flashing lineageOS 16 using official gapps. (Flash gapps along with the flashing ROM, same time. Because flashing gapps after ROM's 1st reboot may result synchronise error or sometime bootloop). If successful, then flash ur carbon ROM and see whether it boots up to normal or still gives such error.
BTW sorry for my late replies. Till then peace out

I am now not able to boot any ROM. Just keeps rebooting after the ZUK splashscreen. Hence, I again reflashed the Recovery properly, using the procedure as before. Now I am not able to boot into the recivery, too.
