Hello,
i can't enter my recovery mode, when i power on the phone i pressed the volume rocker down, but it doesnt work!! can someone tell me whats wrong? i have a custom rom flashed called super jellybeam and when i power up my phone it says FUSION instead of Sony Ericsson.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Stefan
U can change kernel
Fusion is a custom kernel and should have a recovery. If you can't access it then use a different kernel.

but the thing is, i was already in the recovery... are there any other button combinations known which i could try before changing the kernel?= im a bit of a noob and everytime i do sth like flashing and rooting
No, only one button takes you to the recovery.
How did you flash the kernel? Describe with details.
down-volume rocker
restart the phone and still pressing the down-volume rocker
I'm having the same problem. I have previously (6months +) flashed the stock Android 4.0 with the rootable kernel. I recently chose the factory reset option within the settings and it bootloops between Sony and xperia screens however no combination works to go to recovery, fastboot etc. I see that normally the led changes colour but it doesn't flash at all. I cannot force fastboot through adb as the phone bootloops before drivers load. I have tried powering off pressing the down volume, also l separately pressing the up volume, also the menu and finally the back button. I've also tried combinations of each too. Any ideas?

Sorry for the slow reply. Yep, tried that and no difference. I'm sure the led lit up at some point under gingerbread, but there doesn't appear to be any change with ics. That's when I thought you had to press the combination. Here, I've tried spamming all buttons and tried holding all buttons. Nothing seems to work. The phone just doesn't seem to boot enough for the flash tool to recognise it, so no hope though that method either.
Any ideas (to the many geniuses on here) ?
I have installed CyanogenMod 11 custom rom to my Xperia Arc S. After flashing boot.img through flashtool, device got shutdown. Till now everything was fine. But after this the tutorial said to start the phone and after the phone vibrates, start pressing the volume down button. I did the same. But after vibration, phone is not showing anything. It shows dim light on screen but its not showing either the logo nor its starting. The LED light on side turns to purple but nothing happens after that. I did this with every button but its not starting. Pls halp me out....
Thanks...

Tell more about this. How did you do it, what happened, what buttons did you press etc etc.
Yes. I have installed kernel for it via flashtool. Initially after doing this it was not going to recovery mode and also it was not getting connected to flashtool. But now it is getting connected to flashtool in fastboot mode. So tried to flashing with 10.2 version, it showing finished but again the same problem. Its not going to recovery mod.
as in, HOW did you flash the kernel exactly. Dont just say you used flashtool, how did you use it? What combination did you use to get into fastboot? Any errors in flashtool? How did you boot into recovery (I.e. which keys did you press) and does the LX kernel logo even appear on boot?

First check does that kernel has built in recovery...If nothing works,to get your phobe to work flash stock .ftf file with flashtool.
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
And try one more thing,when you turn on the phone start pressing volume down (-).)!

I think i have the same problem as OP.
I decided to try out LegacyXperia CM11 and installed it yesterday. It went well, but it is still kinda buggy so i decided to go back to besttt's Slim Bean. I copied rom files on SD card and went to flash kernel (darkanzuEOL). I flashed it through Flashtool like every other time and it went without errors so i proceeded to boot into recovery so i can flash the rom. This is where everything stopped working normally. After i power on the phone and press voldown to enter cwm it just gets stuck on cwm loading screen. If i dont try to get into recovery it just bootloops. I tried several kernels i have on my HDD and always the same result.
I'm downloading stock img to flash and see if that will help. will let you know what happens.
EDIT:
Stock img worked, now i'm back on slim. Only other thing i changed ( which i think is the cause) is i used original sony usb cabel instead of my Nexus 7's i used originaly
Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I have been lingering around XDA particularly in Xperia S android development forum.
Today, I'm having a problem with my XS that it won't start up after i've done a few things related to installing new ROM in it. I'm not sure if it's bricked or anything but here's the full story and please tell me after reading:
My phone is as follows:
Xperia S
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted
1) I was in my Recovery Mode (not TWRP as I was using a 4.1.2 JB ROM before) with a ROM installed.
2) Wiped Cache
3) Install ROM from SD Card
4) Successfully went through the ROM install wizard and installed it perfectly. I could've just used the ROM as usual but suddenly..
5) Then I went into Settings, I decided to do a Factory Reset (With wiping the internal storage too) <--- I thought doing this would only reset the current recently installed ROM and not wipe the ROM itself)
6) It reboots and bring me to the Recovery Mode page
7) I chose reboot my phone now option
8) It rebooted with the SONY logo on for a while
9) And then the triangle settings logo with a spanner and screwdriver logo show up. The screen stayed for a while like 20 seconds
10) And then it goes black..... and I can't get it start ever again (yet)
I don't know what on earth was I thinking doing a factory reset... that was dumb of me
That's how the story went... what should I do?
I've tried:
Holding the power button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding the vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding both power+vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Connecting the phone to laptop using USB to see if it is detected by my laptop but no nothing happened though (I did not press any button while connected)
Enter FLASHMODE using the proper way (using flashtool and everything) but fruitless
Charging so that the Red LED comes out when phone runs out battery and resetted. But so far still nothing (6 hours+ charging)
So at this point what has happened to my phone? Is this considered 'bricked'? Is it over for my phone now? Can I do anything to get it back running? Please help.
Thank you so much in advance for reading and helping me out.

chill dude, dont panic, this was happened with me too a month ago, here what i did, i downlaod the .96 ftf file and flashed it in fastboot mode, in my situation, phone was on bootloop and your phone is turnning off so you can get into the fastboot easily,
have u tried sony update service? i broke my hp too... then i realised that i can actually use sony update service and press the volume down button and plug in my hp and update my fw to the original sony fw. hope this method helps for u.
Chill.
Alright dude, so chill. I recommend you to download Sony PC companion software and click on "Repair my device" from there. Then, you just have to follow the instructions and it should work. Tell me if it hasn't, I will help you

Would this work with a unlocked bootloader and rooted SXS?? Having problems with my data partition because I think it's corrupted. But I can still use my phone if it doesn't shut down the normal way.

Yep. It should work.
Hey All,
I have recently rooted my Xperia T2 with hopes of entering the wonderful world of customization. However, I cannot enter recovery mode at all. I have exhausted Google looking for a solution prior to registering here. I have tried everything from downloading apps such as Quick Boot to connecting to PC and trying the adb command ''adb reboot recovery'' and ''adb reboot-bootloader'' and of course I have tried the obvious of turning off the phone and then powering back on while holding the power button and volume up key at the same time. Performing that action shows the phone powering on with the Sony screen followed by a black screen where the phone vibrates 3 times and will continue in this loop if I don't release the keys, If I do release them the phone just starts normally. In all cases, that is is what is happening, the phone restarts and boots normally.
I have checked that everything is OK with the rooting that I did via the app Root Checker and and checked bootloader unlocked status via the command ''*#*#7378423#*#*''.
So, there you have it and I just can't understand why I can't enter the recovery mode. My main goal for the moment is to free up some RAM by doing the Link2SD method but without getting into the recovery mode, that seems hopeless.
Hopefully someone here can advise me.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
I can't enter recovery mode too... also already unlocked my bootloader but recovery still unacessible.
See what I did:
(DONE) - Unlocked my bootloader;
(FAIL) - Tryed to root by using KingRoot (2 differrent versions, one that I saw in a tutorial and the newer version - cause I'm using the newer T2 Ultra firmware)
(FAIL) - Tryed to install a custom recovery and as a gift, my T2 started an infinite bootloop.
(DONE) - Fix the boot loop problem...;
(FAIL) - Enter recovery mode and flash a Pre Rooted Firmware;
(DONE) - Searching how to flash a custom recovery again...
(DONE) - Installed a custom recovery (TWRP)...
Now I have another problem... wen a I try to turn It on, It only goes to recovery, and the notification led blinks red and then purple. There's anything I can do to fix It?
The very same problem i am facing now
I wanted to upgrade to higher version of lollipop but not able to get in recovery mode though i have already rooted n installed NDR utils BUT not able to get in recovery mode even via app
Any one who can help US OUT ?? !
I have same problem i can't enter to recovery mode by hold power button and volume + or volume - i try a lot of other combinaison but it doesn't work , help us thanks
I know it's too late for a reply but if u still wandering for how to flash a custom recovery first you need to install one as our Sony phones doesn't come with stock recoveries as mtk and Samsung devices have. Now go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 for Complete tutorial on flashing and downloading a custom recovery. I have installed it with no errors
Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated

I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.
Still have problems

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)

Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.
