Hello guys, I have a problem.
I'll write what I did step by step. I have a Lt26i (4.1.2 JB) I have not changed my phone's features like upgrading version, installing rom etc. since I bought the device , Therefor I have not a lot knowledge, it is first time to do something about android. Anyway, I did root with KingoRoot. Root is completely done, there was no problem about that. After then, I unlocked the BootLoader. When I checked it , I saw "Bootloader unlock : yes." . There is no problem too. Then, I installed BusyBox to install ClockworkMod (CWM). I managed to install CWM with DoomLord's thread, with no problems. It was time to search a custom rom. I decided to install [ROM][JB .96][XS][LB/UL] Dark Honami v1 - Stock Based , I rebooted my device in CWM Recovery. First, on CWM screen I installed zip file which I had downloaded. I did not anything else. Then I selected "Reboot System Now". System was rebooted. My problem is here. There is a process box on black screen. "Android is upgrading" is written on it. I waited more than 1 hour, but my phone was not launched. I tried to turn off the phone with power button, it didn't work. I pressed volume up and power button and shutdown my device, waited a few seconds and try to turn on. That process box was displayed again , I waited sometime but it was not launched... I tried wiping cache and delvik but it didn't worked . I am not able to pass that screen , my device is not launched ... the process box is always processing.... I searched the forum but I couldn't find a solution. Please help me. Thanks.

You should have wiped the system and cache partition too. Also, did You follow the instructions given in the ROM post?

@Mirhawk Hello master, In Rom post, " reboot in cwm, install rom, reboot" is written. I did it and I did nothing else like wiping data, cache, delvik or format data , system etc. I tried wiping data after then. It didn't work.

In this screen I am recieving a error message. Keybord stopped, Contacts stopped. Xperia Home stopped. Whenever I pressed OK it appears again. Please help me.

@Mirhawk , hey. I can't access CWM . Last night I tried wiping ,data , cache but it didn't work. Then I tried format system , format data, format cache in CWM screen. After then, I couldn't access CWM. When I tried to torn on my device, The sony logo appeared but thre was no action. It couldn't pass the sony screen. Normally, When I rebooted my phone, In "Sony text" screen, My Led was turned Blue and I pressed volume up or down then CWM opened. After I had format system, format data, format cache, I was not able to access CWM. I tried to connect it to PC, I pressed volumeDown and connected it to pc. I can connect it in flashmode and my led was turned green. But a few seconds later the phone tried turn on itself.. I tried 3 times, but each of 'em I faced the same situation. I left it for charging and went to bed. After I had gotten up , I noticed that my led was red. Red light means low on battery or have a serious system warning. It is impossible that My device has low battery because I left it for cahrging about 6 hours.. I tried to connect it to pc in flashmode but red light appeared.. A few minutes later Sony logo disappeared and The phone started to give not response. I tried carious key combination like volume up + power , volume down + power , volume up + down + power but I couldn't get any response. What should I do? Is there hope for my phone ?

Can You connect Your phone in fastboot mode? Then You could try flashing DoomKernel or the Carbon Kernel. DoomKernel has the CWM and Carbon Kernel has TWRP. The way Your phone is acting in fastboot mode, You probably don't have Fastboot and flashmode drivers. To install them, download the flashtool. Then after You install it,suppose in C drive, then go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and run Flashtool-drivers.exe from the folder. From the list then select fastboot, flashmode and all drivers with Xperia S written in it and install them. If You are on Windows 8, there is a different procedure to install them, google for it. Your phone currently has low battery, hence it just show the red LED. Try installing the drivers and then flashing either kernel via fastboot.

Hey
So my mobile will start up and be normal for abit then it reboots and shows the green logo like updating then goes to a red exclamation mark in a triangle.
I can't seem to do anything except take the battery out and then start it up again and it will happen again.
The only thing i have done to it today was play around with sync the phone to my PC and installed Android Commander on my PC and was just trying to change rights on the notifications folder but it kept saying i had to root my phone..
So that s about it.. It seems to work okay when the USB cable is connected to my PC i have unmounted my USB card.
and have also tried holding the power buttong and pressing the volume button whilst turning it on.
any suggestions? thanks
I take it your Rooted.... Just take your SD card out, link it with your pc, put the Rom you were using before on it or a new Rom, put back in ya phone & access the recovery menu via the bootloader screen (if you don't know how Google it), now once in clockwork mod recovery just wipe the partitions, then into advanced & wipe the dev cache, then flash your Rom! Reboot then should be fine again. If this doesn't work follow the steps again & do a full wipe after the dev cache wipe & then you will be ok. If this still doesn't work.... Google the rooted stock Rom for your phone, download that & follow the steps again.
Hope this helps
Sent via TapaTalk from me pimped out Desire HD running my own custom style LeeDrOID Rom
I never rooted my mobile? well i wasnt trying to if thats what happened and i haven't changed the rom everything is stock since when i got it.
You can start your phone normally without sdcard and it wont reboot?
i haven't rooted my phone.
i can start the phone without the sdcard it eventually then just freezes.. If i leave it it will then go to that screen with the red triangle and exclamation
If i hold the power + volume up button then i get the option to reboot , wipe cache , wipe data factory reset and i think another option about an SD card
so yeah i guess the main thing is it keep on freezing and locks up on me..
its wierd but if i have the usb connected to my PC it doesn't seem to freeze or anything or lock up :S
okay so if i start the phone up holding the power and volume up button and select recovery then it takes me to the red triangle with exclamation mark.
down the button it says E:cant open /cache/recovery/command
and i have the options
Reboot system now
APply update from sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition.
Ive done the reboot and it starts up but then freezes again
wipe data factory reset and everything else you can wipe (except sdcard) - you will loose all installed apps and you have to resign to your google account, but maybe this will help.
EDIT: wipe data & cache
The red exclamation mark is the stock recovery, in that you can get to a basic menu with power + vol up.
Trying to boot the phone with power + vol up will do nothing, you can get to hboot with power and vol down though.
That E: Can't mount cache error could be a sign of a bad emmc though, which is a hardware issue you would need a new/replacement phone.

cheers deleting the cache has fixed it
hey there!
Ok so I got this problem. My phone felt to the floor like 2 weeks ago and the screen got crashed, everything else works normally, touch is ok, screen is ok, just glass is broken, after 2 days I downloaded some dota apps and it suddenly started rebooting and crashing:
By this I mean, apps stopped working and lots of pop-up messages appeared, after some reboots It stopped turning on, so I decided to root it and installed a custom ROM the one from mike, Android Revolution, this was last week, this weekend it worked fine until sunday when it got bricked because of an outdated recovery from clockwork. I managed to solve this with some help from you guys, but now again.
I flashed the android monday again with same version, it was working well until yesterday at night, it started showing some whatsapp stopped working stuff again, i rebooted it and now a bunch of window errors... reboot it again and well... no luck it stayed in the Android loading window.
After this I was trying to install the stock version ROM from mike also, and that's when it got worse.
Flashed boot and recovery OK, then rebooted and when I tried to install the ROM it just won't let me, failed unknown error, failed remote : 00030000, and other messages, now when I try to flash the recovery again it says low battery, and when I try the script to charge it it won't work, FAILED remote: unknown reason.
What can I do guys? =S (Sorry for the long post, I just don't know what could it be, and I wish by giving that much information someone can find out the reason, contacted HTC and they said it has no guarantee since I rooted and the glass is broken)
can you still access fastboot??
if you can.. then flash the latest CWM 5.8.4.0
It will allow the phone to charge.

I can but there is some weird reason that won't let me do any flash, either low battery and when it gets charged a bit (because it may charge enough sometimes) it says FAILED remote:00030000 or unknown reason.
Don't know what it could be.
I ran into the exact same problem, the charger script does not help me too (low power on usb port of pc).
Thats how I fix this:
1) disconnect original charger, let's phone die. or use shutdown in fastboot.
2) connect original charger, and wait while phone powered up (He himself off as he does not have enough battery power.). disconnect charger.
3) vol.down and hold power,choose fastboot
4) connect charger
5) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
6) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
7) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
....(do it fast)
249) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
250) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
251) disconnect charger, choose shutdown.
252) go to PC
253) vol down, power up
254) choose fastboot
255) flash the custom recovery with power supply support
256) flash custom kernel
257) don't disconnect USB!
258) fastboot / reboot bootloader / hboot
259) recovery
260) mount USB storage
261) drop zip of custom flash to the phone
262) unmount
263) advanced / restart recovery
264) flash the zip of rom
265) restart phone and dont disturb it, at 30 minute, let hi charge.
266) disconnect USB and connect original charger (1A)
267) Have fun!
It worked but bad news... now as always I am getting the message windows, with some weird apps.
First it was htc.com.bgp or something which I found it was the weather, then whatsapp, then Personalize, pretty much everything I open stops working after a while, what can I do? This was the exact reason that brought me here in the first place. It started showing these messages and I decided to install a custom ROM, it was first stock and locked and happened, now with this Android HD ROM it is still the same.
Thanks man... i was scared like hell when i realised that by script my battery voltage didnt raise up... even worse... it became less... i was reboting bootloader for 1h, but finally it worked... now im charging it to max... then ill flash stock rom
Thanks again.
Hello everybody , to all mates who bricked their phones by upgrading or using custom roms
I had soft brick my phone 3 times before and i read all soft brick methods here in our lovely forum, if u can my steps you will recover your phone 100%.
Note: remove your sd card and put it in PC and upload a custom rom in it, then bring it back to phone.
Lets go
1-]first of all these for unlocked boot loader.
2- after your phone die, connect to wall charger, at first will be no response (no red led) its OK don't be afraid.
3- charge it till red led on (it may takes many hours first time it need from me 22 hours, but usually need 10-15 hours).
4- now boot loops will start , its OK you are almost done believe me, prepare flash-tool in PC but do not select any thing.
5- while phone boot loop connect phone to your PC and do soft reset, ie hold power bottom and up volume bottom your phone will vibrate once now let power bottom and keep pushing up volume bottom (the phone is connected to PC as we said), blue led will appear which mean you are in fast-boot mode.
6- in flash tool select fast boot mode, a dialogue will appear select now (Select kernel To Flash), a window will appear choose from it JB_211_Kernel_twrp2.5.elf kernel or any CWM support kernel and flash it.
7- you will see the dialogue of flashing which till you that flashing is OK..
8 - now select reboot system from flash tool, your phone will restart.
9- enter recovery and select wipe all (advanced) system, data, cash and davlik cash, only leave internal memory and sd card
10- now select back and choose install and select any custom rom you have put in sd card and install it, after that select reboot system and you will go :laugh: its working believe me the phone will boot.
11- if you want to flash it with stock rom, after you boot recovery select power option and select power off (do not choose reboot) your phone will turn off, now prepare flash tool in PC and select your stock rom, wait till a pop up message appear to connect phone, connect your phone in flash mode ( volume down key and connect phone to PC) and flash stock rom .

So I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem, all over xda, google, and other forum's, but have not found any situation that is like this one and thus no solution as of yet.
Specifics:
Sgh-T999
Was running 4.3 JB
Power button has been removed.
No root, custom rom, or recovery. All stock.
Ok so I've been trying to fix my friends s3 but to no avail. First off, he had to remove his power button a while back because of issues with it sticking and bootlooping. Now, to power on his phone he just plugs it in while holding the volume down and home buttons. Where he enters the download screen and just cancels, which then restarts the phone. Problem solved.
Latley his phone had been running real slow so I suggested he back everything up and do a factory reset to bring it back up to speed. So yesterday he did a soft reset through the settings menu after backing it up. After everything was finished his phone will now only power up to the fourth boot screen, the flashing blue samsung logo, and then gets stuck there, the logo continuing to flash all yge while. He left it that way all day long. I'd say atleast 10 hours. Nothing ever changed. Took out the battery, sim, and ext sd, let it sit for a while restarted it through download mode again but nothing changed.
Once he gave it to me I tried booting into recovery mode but it hasn't been possible without the power button. I tried holding the volume up and home keys while plugging in but it just keeps vibrating every few secs with nothing on the screem, which i'm assuming it just keeps rebooting. Even if I could get into recovery mode, I wouldn't be able to select any of the options without the power button.
I tried re installing the firmware through kies as well as emergency firmware recovery, to no avail. Same problem.
Also used odin to flash the stock firmware but no luck.
I'm going to try and flash a custom recovery and/or custom rom and root the device but that will be my last resort.
He wants to take it to the tmobile store before I do anything that could risk it any further. Which they will likely tell him Its dead or to leave it with them for a few weeks and charge him an arm and a leg. If they can't do anything, then I will flash a custom rom first and go from there.
Are there any safer methods, before I start flashing, that anyone can think of?
Will a custom recovery even possibly work without the power button?
I wonder if it could be something to do with the bootloader?
It doesn't seem hard bricked since I am still able to get into odin mode but I just dont know where to go from here. Also, I'm not sure if ADB is on since he just did a factory reset. It was on before he reset but after resetting would the ADB go back to default?
Also when plugging into computer MTP driver will not install and kies just continues to show that its connecting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just joined the community and have learned a great deal about alot over a short period of time thanks to yall!
Thanks!!!!!
I don't think it's possible to work with without a power button. You can use a touch recovery to work around not having a power button, but the problem will be booting to it. Does it not boot into recovery when pressing the volume down button?
No pressing home and down byttons while plugging in puts it to the download caution screen. Then from there pressing volume down button restarts the phone like normal. Pressing up just enters download mode. I'm wondering now though if I press the up and home keys when it restarts if it'll boot In recovery like that. Since the restart would basically be like pushing the power button to start it right? That's why it boots into download mode when plugged in and down and home buttons pressed maybe? I'll try and see what happens.
My mistake, I actually meant volume up ?
No volume up and home while plugging in just keep vibrating every few seconds with nothing on the screen like its in a boot loop and when I let go the charging screen comes up. And no problem your wrong comment gave me an idea.
And the method I just thought of worked! Pushing up and home buttons as soon as system restarts from download caution page will put you into recovery mode! This is the what i'm getting at the bottom:
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Can't mount '/data'(invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
E:Cant mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
Can someone explain what the failed to mount message means at the bottom?
Now that i'm in I can't do anything but I guess next step would be to flash a custom touch recovery. Maybe Philz?
Is there anything I can do to address the failed to mount issue without flashing a touch recovery?
I think I've seen those errors before, but can't remember what fixed them. Try doing a search on this forum and see if you can find something. Flashing a custom recovery and rom may help, but can't say for sure. Not what your friend wants though
so of course t-mobile couldn't do anything. I flashed philz touch recovery. wiped cache and user data/factory reset. During factory reset it will not format anything but the cache. Keeps saying
Formatting /data....
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting / cache...
Formatting / sd-ext...
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting /storage/sdcard1/.android_secure....
Data wipe complete.
Dalvik cache will not wipe either.
From their I located the PIT file for this device and re-partitioned with odin. Same problem.
Also tried cleaning to install new ROM which again would format everything except for /data and /scdard/. android_secure
Then flashed the stock 4.3 T999UVUENC2 ROM. No luck.
Now I'm right back to where I was before. Reflashed Philz touch recovery and here we are yet again.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30386564#post30386564 [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick), which looks like what I need but I can't find VRALEC/VRALF boot chain files for my device. I really need help so anyone reading this please reply if you know anything pertaining to this situation. I'm running out of ideas. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
He's giving me permission to do whatever it takes to get his phone back up and running. Also I don't thing flashing a custom ROM is likely to work in this situation.
Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert
Same. I tried using the official instructions to flash the stock rom but the SP flash tool stops responding after download button is pressed

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%
When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.
AL 6677 - ELEPHONE MUST BE TURN-OFF !!!!!!! and CONNECT USB CABLE REPEATEDLY !!!
After that everything goes according to instructions

When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader

THX a lot, I found only the 2 Options to wipe data factory and cache....... dalvink was not displayed in the menue (screenshot attached)
How to uninstall the EL Loader ?

i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.
AL 6677 - ELEPHONE MUST BE TURN-OFF !!!!!!! and CONNECT USB CABLE REPEATEDLY !!!
After that everything goes according to instructions
THX, I will try to flash Eragon, CM 12.1 is still not available, isn't it?

No CM 12.1 is not available yet.
In order to uninstall EI Loader, install first root (superSU), then install ccleaner and you can uninstall EI Loader (In system app)
Hi there, sorry for the revival !
But i got the same problem: OTA update, fail, P8000 blocked on boot screen.
I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:
Fix - Recovery Mode

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
