Problem installing CM7.2

Hi everyone.....
after trying to install CM7.2 using this Guide by ridder215215 I ran into a weird problem.
*I was running R800a 2.3.4 rooted and with an unlcoked bootloader.
after I flashed the Kernel and rebooted the phone (step #6,7) the phone just died after the reboot.
I couldn't get it into Clockwordmode what ever I do I only get a vibration and the screen turns on with a black background.
after a miracle I got my phone into recovery mode and flashed the R800a firmware using flashtool. then I tried to install CM7.2 again.
the same problem occurred.... but now, I can't even get the phone into recovery mod to flash a stock rom!!!
HELP!!!!!
how can I force a recovery mode???
if anyone can propose an idea on how to install CM7.2, I would really appreciate it!

Right, using flash tool, select the stock ftf you want to return to (2.3.4 by the look of it) and set it off preparing the file for flashing. When it prompts you, with the phone turned off, hold the back button and connect your USB. That should put you back to stock firmware.
Now for CM7:
With the CM7 zip on your computer, extract the "boot.img" file located within and drop it int your fastboot folder within your Android SDK folder (usually platform-tools folder within the SDK folder). Make sure not to unzip the file. If you're using WinRAR, just double click the file and drag the boot file onto your desktop then move it from there to your fastboot folder.
Move the CM7 zip (now minus the boot.img) onto your SD Card. Also download the Google Apps (Gapps) zip to your SD
Turn your phone off. In your folder with the boot.img hold shift and right click, open command window here.
Hold the search button on your phone and connect it to your PC. type the following: fastboot flash boot boot.img
After thats done type fastboot boot boot.img and you should hear the USB disconnected sound. Your phone will then reboot. Keep spamming the Volume Down and Back button (some kernels use either one so spamming both always works) and you should get into CWM.
From there, Factoryreset/data wipe...Wipe cache...Advanced, Wipe dalvik cache.
With those wiped, you can flash the ROM with CWM.
You want to "choose zip from sd" and select the CM7 zip file. Wait for it to do its stuff then using the same method, flash the gapps.zip package.
Reboot (first one takes a while) and enjoy

YES!
is that the problem?

can anyone tell me a way of putting my phone into recovery(flash) mode???
it's just not working!

get your phone into flash recovery doing this:
Remove battery, connect usb cable, hold the back button and insert battery, your phone should start in flash recovery, flash a stock ftf
when thats done, youll have to root your phone(you can do it via flashtool) then install
busybox through flashtool then install this cwm : http://www.mediafire.com/?u26cuggxd2x54vb
inside the archive theres several files run the one that says cwm1
then when the sony logo appears check the led on your play as soon as it turns blue, tap the volume - button on a rampage, it will get you inside clockworkmod recovery.
i find it easier to flash the boot image through flashtool might want to give it a shot. hope i helped.

I get nothing but a vibration and the screen lights up with a black backround
but when I plug it to the computer, I don't get the vibration

if you turn your phone off, then hold the back key while connecting the usb, does the led on your power button light up on any color?

no light, no color );

how about fastboot, if you turn the phone off and while you hold the search button you plug the usb is there a blue light?

I was so desperate I started blowing at the buttons and it worked!!!

I flashed the stock att rom (R800at) unlocked and rooted, can I install CM9 or CM7.2 without having to flash an R800i rom? or it doesn't matter?
another problem, even though my phone is from att the touch screen isn't working with (R800at). I also had the same problem when I flashed 2.3.4 R800i, and R800a

I'm sorry to say that, but you're still in the wrong place, you need to go there:

Anyways, did you flash the correct kernel? Or did you just try to flash a recovery?

St.Jimmy,
I am a first time member, joined only yesterday (that is after my tail caught fire!); sorry to be still in the wrong place. Could moderators please relocate my post to the right location? Thanks a million to this wonderful site.
Thanks for the reply. I think installing CWR required flashing a "boot.img" file. The device gave up its ghost after flashing the boot.img file. As of now, there seems to be a slight improvement -- there is a red LED indicator that has come on when put to charging; it is faint, but it is there alright! Any chances of resurrection or is my phone really gone to its Heavenly Kingdomo?

I suggest u first charge it for 1-2 hours and then try using flashtool

I can now sometimes connect in flashboot mode; flashtool initially recognizes the phone but when I try to flash a stock ROM, asks the phone to be connected (as if it has not already recognized the phone)! HELP PLEASE!!

might have a solution for the recovery if the fastboot is working
download minimal adb and fast boot from here
place boot.img in minimal adb and fast boot folder after installation
Put your phone in fastboot( hold power up key and plug usb)
open minimal adb and fast boot application
it will open a cmd window
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
after that type fastboot reboot
your phone will restart now
PS: your phone is refusing to boot because the recovery is corrupted

What if you fastboot a custom kernel with inbuilt recovery and then flash a Rom with the recovery?
Since you have fastboot working

Androidtweaker1: Thanks. Cannot connect in fastboot mode. The blue LED comes on but the device is not recognized (adb drviers etc. no problem, all correctly installed, all set).
kedar: cannot connect in the fastboot mode. See reply to Androidtweaker1 above. Thanks
kingvortex: Thanks. I was trying to follow the following tutorial:
After downloading Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip, place it in external SD Card of your smartphone
Now extract Z_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-4.3-101_v12.zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now turn off your smartphones completely
Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
It will flash boot.img file on your device
Now unplug the device and boot it up
As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”
Now select the storage you have put that zip file in and just confirm its installation
There are two ways to navigate in this CWM recovery
You can navigate with volume buttons and make a selection with power button
Another way of navigating is by swiping your finger on empty area in recovery
Swipe up to move up, swipe down tp move down, swipe right to make a selection and swipe left to go back
After installation is complete, go back to main menu and reboot your smartphone
Congrats! You have successfully installed CWM custom recovery on your smartphones

I have a similar situation and I'm stuck.
Q: is working the minimal adb if in the settings was not checked the debug mode?
In my case I can go in fastboot mode each time but not help.
When I try to go in flash mode, there is strange because the flashtool say it it connected in flash mode , even the PCC say this, but the LED it's not green, is off, first is try to go green after get red and after off, but the software say is in flash mode.
I can try to flash any ftf, it's working without erors but my phone it's still dead after restart, even SONY logo is not appear, just vibrate once.
Other strange think, each time when I made a new flahing, there is a status message of device, it say that the version of ftf is 230 even if last time I was tring to flash 101 for ex and was finished without errors. Always show the same ftf version like nothing is changing inside. The only thing can change is the BL, lock or unlock and I can see this in the status device, this is made in fastboot mode and there I have the blue LED.
Can anybody give me some ideeas to fix this?
have the log of flahtool attached.
Thanks.

Hey, have you already solved your problem? I had the same as you and I could fix it, I will try to submit a post here explaining the steps I followed

I solved but in other way. I bought another Zl with the battery dead and I replaced the motherboard. I have it now working from gew months without any problems. The old motherboard is still broken.

Hey there,
Looks like u r just a step away from CM11 and i think i can help u with that, just follow the steps:
Plz check again and again before attempting this, this will work for sure but still
Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool
Install the software , then go to C:\\flashtool\flashtool drivers and install drivers for your phone
make sure u install fastboot and flashmode drivers
then, connect ur phone in flashmode (holding volume down key) and wait for flashtool to detect ur device, later click on the icon which says "BLU". ur bootloader will unlock
then connect your phone in fastboot mode(holding volume down key)
Copy the CM11.zip and gapps.zip onto ur sdcard.
extract the boot.img from the CM11 zip file and click on the Flashing button and select fastboot mode and click on kernel to flash , then select boot.img
unplug ur phone, boot into recovery (holding volume up )
Wipe data/cache and dalvik cache
go to mounts, click format system
then go to install from sdcard and select Cm11.zip, later flash Gapps.zip
Reboot , enjoy
the Fastboot and Flashmode keys vary from device to device, i use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004 and the above mentioned keys were for that phone.
plz tell me if this helped or not:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:

hi,
i tried it but same problem, when i flash kernel boot.img from cm11.zip (now no more errors - maybe is it im trying at moment on win7 with new drivers), phone wont turn, led always light on orange. I worried that maybe is cuz of root, so i did ftf new 4.3. So i tried boot "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696259" no problem i went for first time to recovery mode on my xperia m. SU showed in apps. bootloader unlocked, debugg on.
but i dont understand one thing when phone is ON i check drivers in flashtool, i see device and adb drivers in flashtool, but when phone is off it say no adb drivers and debugg off??? but flashing kernel for root worked fine
Thanks

when i try to flash cm11.zip from root kernel in recovery it says Aborted, so why boot kernel from root works and from cm11 no?

Hi,
I'm trying to install Pure AOSP custom ROM, because I read that its stable and smooth wiht Xperia S so I think it would work fine with my SL.
if you suggest better ROM for the Xperia SL I will be thankfull.
I have followed toturials to use CWM recovery but i didnt get anything usefull. Also I have tried the Falsh Tool but nothing happen.
I do all the steps but when I get to restart the phone in recovery nothing happen.

Ah no biggies!
You need to have unlocked bootloader for this.
You can unlock bootloader here. But first backup DRM keys using procedure here.
This Guide is for Kitkat ROM's.​
Got everything now. Follow the following steps, You will have the ROM in Your phone by it:
1) Copy both the ROM.zip and gapps.zip to Your phone.
1) This step is on PC.. Download this boot.img. This is required as the boot.img of some Kitkat ROM's don't have TWRP built in or have incompatible recovery. Rename it to boot.img
3) Then copy it to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
4) Open command prompt on the same path as above.
5) Switch off Your phone. Then connect the cable to PC but not to phone. Press volume up button on Your phone and while pressing it, connect the cable to phone. Blue LED will lit up. If there is no blue LED, do this step again.
6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is used to just get the TWRP to the phone to flash the ROM.
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.
8) Then format system, data, and cache. This will delete all Your apps and their data. It won't delete Your sdcard data. Be careful, don't format sdcard by mistake!
9) Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
10) Format cache and dalvik cache only.
11) Flash gapps from recovery.
12) Reboot! Done!
The first boot and reboot are a bit long. During reboot, the phone will seem to be stuck at the Sony logo, but it is just processing, so no need to worry.
In case You don't have TWRP after flashing the ROM, You can follow the procedure from here to flash the recovery.
Kitkat instructions end here.
Lollipop ROM:​Link to Android Lollipop (5.0) gapps : Link.
For flashing the AOSP ROM's:
1) This step is on PC.. Download this boot.img. This is required as the boot.img from AOSP Lollipop ROM's don't have inbuilt recovery. Download the the root binaries from here if You are using Pure AOSP ROM by billchen1977 only.
2) Copy the ROM.zip, gapps.zip and SuperSU.zip to Your phone.
3) Then copy boot.img to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
4) Open command prompt on the same path as above.
5) Switch off Your phone. Then connect the cable to PC but not to phone. Press volume up button on Your phone and while pressing it, connect the cable to phone. Blue LED will lit up. If there is no blue LED, do this step again.
6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is used to just get the TWRP to the phone to flash the ROM.
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery by pressing volume up button when the LED turn blue. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.
8) Then format system, data, and cache.. This will delete all Your apps and their data. It won't delete Your sdcard data. Be careful, don't format sdcard by mistake!
9) Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
10) Format cache and dalvik cache only.
11) Flash gapps from recovery.
12) Do this step only for billchen1977's Pure AOSP ROM! Flash the SUperSU downloaded in the first instruction. If You are flashing nAOSP by mickybart, don't follow this step, skip to next step.
13) Reboot!
14) After flashing the Lollipop ROM, You loose Your recovery, You can get it back by following the procedure here.
15) After flashing a Lollipop ROM, the first boot displays only boot animation for 10-15 minutes. This doesn't mean Your phone is bricked, it is just initializing the apps. During second boot, it will seem to be stuck at "Sony" logo for 5 minutes. This is also normal.
Suppose You are not able to recover at some point and can't wait for next reply, You can flash a stock firmware using flashtool.

6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The first command is used to reboot phone to bootloader. Bootloader reboot is usually used to flash kernels to phone.
The boot.img here consists a kernel specific to this ROM. It also has inbuilt recovery(either a CWM or TWRP.)
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.

9) Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
10) Format cache and dalvik cache only.
11) Flash gapps from recovery.
12) Reboot! Done!
Suppose You are not able to recover at some point and can't wait for next reply, You can flash a stock firmware using flashtool.

Then You have not installed fastboot drivers. You need to install them from drivers folder in the setup location of Flashtool.
Else instead of step 5, switch off Your phone and disconnect it from PC. Then hold the volume up button and connect the phone to PC. The blue light will come on. And the release the volume up button. And just use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.

You can also use an app called Rashr to flash the boot.img kernel instead of fastboot (at your own risk of course)...

Hi, I unfortunatelly am not able to solve your Problem, but maybe you could help me with mine. Could you pls upload the System.img? I am only able to find *.zip and adb doesn´t want to Flash it at all
Thanx in advance

Go to Original Android developement. It's in the pre-rooted thread, these are the ONLY img files for roms available unless you push the zip file using ADB...

Flash the system zip file rather than trying to flash simply the .img. The zip files are in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/asus-zenfone-2-rom-t3054956) and might help because you're also flashing default recovery... could be CWM.
Also try flashing using fastboot.

your phone model?

1. download the latest recovery from here https://dl.twrp.me/Z00A/ and firmware from here http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.97-user.zip
2. download and install adb and fastboot driver from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and intel usb drivers from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
3.the adb driver should have installed in your pc OS drive [ which is C: ] put the downloaded recovery and firmware in that folder [where adb is installed] then in that folder, open command window by pressing shift and right click and a dialogue box will appear then open the command window from there and enter this command fastboot flash recovery {name of the recovery twrp something}.img then connect your phone to your pc and enter bootloader in your phone and press enter in command window.
4.after that put the downloaded firmware in any sdcard and put it in your phone then open recovery mode in your phone and go to reboot>recovery [yeah you have to reboot the recovery] then when recovery open again then go to wipe>advanced wipe> and select system,data,cache,dalvik and internal storage [internal storage is optional but if you choose it then it will wipe all your data in your phone] then wipe it and go to install section then choose the extsdcard [it should be written internal storage click on that then you can choose your external storage] then in the extstorage choose the firmware you downloaded and just swipe to flash.
5.patience ..because it would take time and maybe get stuck at 52% or 59% ..so just let it take time for installation [btw connect your phone to thr charger in this process]
6.after it done then reboot your phone and ALL DONE. [the first boot will take some mins to boot up]
