Hey guys, how can you full factory reset that it will revert back to stock recovery without accessing the custom recovery because it can't be open. Please i need a quick response to this, I noticed that my phone became buggy after a while after I flash custom recovery from this forum. Maybe a step by step with details because I'm not really good with this rooting, flashing and custom recovery thingy eheh
So you want to restore only the stock recovery and not the full rom?
Why can't the custom recovery you have now be opened?
What have you flashed on your phone, why is it buggy? What rom do you have etc..
Does your phone work? Like can you use it?

Hey guys,
I'm new to the Xperia Arc development and need some help with installing a custom rom. I've done quite a bit of reading but still can't figure out what is wrong and why it's simply not working.
So from what I gathered the steps to ensure a successful flash are:
Firstly flash a stock rom via flashtool ie LT18i_4.1.B.0.587.ftf
flash LT18i_4.1.A.0.562_Kernel > root the device > flash back to LT15a_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel
Then now that the device is rooted, I need to install a recovery such as CWM via RecoverX
So, so far so good as I can access CWM, stock rom works fine as well
So then next step is to unlock the bootloader
pretty sure this worked, as when i tried to unlock it again, it said it failed as it was already unlocked
Now flash a custom kernel, in this case i flashed the 146 FXP CM kernel
This also seemed successful as I was presented with a custom splash screen
So then after custom kernel is installed I enter recovery, wipe the cache and reset factory settings, format the data system and cache as well as wiping the dalvik and battery stats.
After, I installed the custom rom zip file, in this case it was aokp_anzu-ota-eng.kxp_build5 and then google apps and then reboot.
So my problems begin here.
My phone seems to be stuck in the boot process (sometimes), on the "initiating swagger" splash screen and it goes crazy. I've tried flashing this rom with other kernels (fusion 3.9) and sometimes it actually loads up into the rom. But the rom is extremely laggy, applications freeze and close and the wifi never works
So my question is, is there any steps or procedures that I am missing, not doing right or in the correct order?
I don't think it's any hardware issues as wifi works in the stock rom, and it's fairly smooth and fluid.
Also, is there a better way to flash roms so that I don't need to do this entire process of flashing a stock rom, rooting, unlocking bootloader, installing recovery every time I want to flash a new rom? And when I flash a custom kernel first, then flash a custom rom that has a kernel inbuilt (cm10) does the custom rom's kernel replace the one i just flashed, reason for asking is that the instructions say to flash the custom kernels and then the roms, but yeh just hasn't been working for me so not really sure how to do what.
I'd really appreciated any help or insight!
Thanks

Thanks! I've read your guide (what I based my flashing on) and it seems consistent with what I have done, on the surface of it anyway. If you think I missed or overlooked something, would it be possible to point it out?
If your boot loader is unlocked it's as simple as this...
1. Flash kernel
2. Wipe cache etc
3. Install ROM
...I always reboot before installing anything else as I've found it can break the installation of the ROM.

As ExpirienceD says,just one more thing flash kernel modules if you need to.
So:
1.Flash kernel
2.Full wipe data/cach...etc...
3.Flash ROM
4.Flash kernel modules

Just bought an s3 and the owner put AOKP rom on it rooted the works. I do however want to start off completely fresh on Touchqiz and learn how to root and all of that myself. How would I go about doing this? When I factory reset in settings, it just goes back to stock AOKP.
Thanks!

You will want to use Odin to flash a stock firmware. Or, you can do two steps in one and use Odin to flash a pre-rooted stock image, so you can get the experience of returning to stock and rooting your device yourself all at the same time!
After you flash the stock ROM, you will boot loop. When you get the loop, boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

Couldn't he do a format of everything in recovery and then flash the stock rom via ODIN?
I've been wondering about this myself. I feel that I've flashed and downloaded so much there has to be space being taken up that I will never use and different folder structures and what not.
If that's the case, could I just use the format options in TWRP and then install the rom of my choice?
If you are on AT&T with an I-747, please ensure that whatever you flash is for the I-747 or d2att. It sounds like you are pretty new at this. A lot of people have hard bricked their phone flashing Galaxy S3 ROMs that are not specifically for their device. Take the time to read up on here before you do anything. Let us know if you have questions before you dive in.

OK first thing first was you on stock t mobile and what version firmware was you on you need to elaborate in a lot more detail please and have you tried to wipe dalvik/cache and then fix permission in the advanced menu ? and also for future reference you should not be flashing ROMs through that app it will make your phone unstable

Hello, Im noob about flashing in recovery. Can please somebody explain and tell me more about it? I found many things that I would love to have on my LG but I don't have idea how to do it.
So whats the point of flashing in recovery how do I do it and what I need?
A recovery is a small*distinct environment*separate*from Android that allows diagnostic updates, and the ability to perform factory resets.The primary purpose of the recovery is to provide a way to reset an Android device when it may be impossible to boot into Android.
Custom Recoveries perform the same tasks as the stock-Android recovery with a few additional features, such as the ability to make full system backups, and flash custom roms.
A Custom Recovery is necessary to flash Custom ROMs. Each time you flash a ROM there is the potential of data loss, so having a backup is crucial. It’s not the best solution but it sure beats reinstalling all of your apps, if your not happy with your custom rom.
TWRP is the best custom rom for the LG G3. To install it you must be rooted. To root your G3 there are many one click meathods available on XDA.
After rooting download the app "Autorec" from play store for your device. [ie, if your are using D855, then auto rec for D855] And follow as said on the app.
All of these process is quite easy and won't even wipe your phone.
I'm already on the stock KK ROM (E98020g)., but with the CWM recovery. I just want to wipe everything while keeping the stock ROM, but I've seen that factory resetting or flashing stock ROMs while on a custom recovery will probably cause a some sort of brick...
I've already briefly seen the pinned stock ROM tutorial already. Before I try that (assuming it still works), can anyone tell me if there's a simpler way? It's going to take me a long time to go through that entire thread so it would be an immense help if someone could just tell me.
Have you try using system setting, storage, hard reset?

That's what I meant by "factory reset", sorry. Everything I've read indicates that this will cause a softbrick, which I'm trying to avoid. Is this info wrong?
I assume the reason that you install cwm and running the stock ROM is so you can have a nandroid backup? Otherwise Why else would you installed a custom recovery? So backup the ROM and do the factory reset with kk instead of cwm, which may be the reason that some people are getting the soft bricks. I can't guarantee you that everything will be according to the plan, but that's the reason backup function is there.
I originally installed CWM because I wanted to wipe and try out a custom ROM (probably CM). But then I noticed all the serious issues people were having with various custom ROMs, so I decided to skip the custom rom (for now) and just get on with wiping. I really don't want to risk any type of brick with this device.
Anyway, I think I'm going to try out the pinned stock rom thread I mentioned in the OP.
