Hi all,
I have been trying to flash a custom ROM on my Z1C, but I can't even get to any recovery screen. My power button does not work so I can't use the Power + Volume combo to get to recovery. I can get into both Fastboot and Flashmode. I have tried multiple different versions of TWRP but when I try to boot, the phone gets stuck on either the Sony logo, or on a blank screen. I have tried using both fastboot boot twrp.img, and flashing the image, both with the same results. From Flashmode, I can restore the original firmware with Emma and the device works perfectly. Any advice on how I can boot into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You can download an app from the playstore where you can boot into recovery. Or use developer settings and advanced reboot.

Hey.
Just rooted an Arc S via Eroot, installed Rom manager and CWM and booted into recovery via Rom manager.
I then wiped everything (data/cache/dalvik) and installed SuperJellyBean Rom + Arc S Update + Gapps. I then wanted to reboot the phone, but I'm stuck at the bootscreen.
I googled and searched the forums, but I have no luck. No Key combination would work (Menu + Power gets that little light flashig blue briefly, but that's all) I'm always stuck with the "Sony Ericsson" boot logo.
Can anyone help? :crying:
Did you flash the correct kernel for SJB?

Bootloader was obviously still locked :angel:I unlocked it via Fastboot, and also flashed a new kernel (Fusion 5.4) that has CWM included.
Now I'm stuck with the Fusion boot logo :victory: Any more ideas what to do?
Is there anyway of flashing a *.zip rom via USB (Flash mode = Back button + Cable)?
EDIT: Finally solved it, though i admittedly don't really know how. Just wanted to plug the phone back into the USB in fastboot mode (menu button + cable) and suddenly i was in the CWM. I re-flashed the Rom, Patch, and gapps and everything works perfectly now.
Hi Team,
I am unable to boot into recovery mode. I just have installed OOS 3.5.2 rom through TWRP 3.0.2(1). I am able to boot up the device. Once I complete the setup process, I turned on Advanced options in developers and selected the boot in to recovery.
Device is restarting and then it is stuck at 1+ logo.
I have tried it through boot loader (Vol down and then power button) to start the recovery mode but is also showing 1+ logo and then device got turned off.
Any idea about the issue? Unable to restore backup.
I am completely stuck.
Plz help
Try booting into fastboot flash this version of Twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68691560&postcount=56
Hopefully that will do it but you may need to boot into Twrp right away and reflash twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img from within Twrp and hopefully it will then stick.
It just worked like a charm.... :good:
3.5.2 Broke TWRP compatibility, there's a new unofficial TWRP available but I can't link to it at present. Although looking now it's in the last post.
I just unlocked the bootloader with the code from Sony Website. When i boot, it showed the waves from a normal booting, but it doesn't start. I waited like 20-30 minutes and nothing. Then i flashed TWRP using Flashtool as an Kernel. Now, when i boot, it brings me to TWRP and if i reboot system the same thing. I don't have an backup, because i thought that after unlocking, it will boot up normal.
Flash Stock Rom through Flashtool (you need an older Release). Boot your Phone.
Then Boot into fastboot (shutdown the device and Connect it to your pc with vol- pressed, Blue led Turns on) and Flash the Boot.img from your Rom .zip. then Reboot into Recovery and Flash the Rom. Then let it Boot, activate root Access, install twrp Manager from Play Store and install twrp through that.
Twrp is a recovery Image (in our case, an Image for an unused Partition called fota) and Not a Kernel.
Sent from my HUAWEI ALE-L21 using XDA Labs
I have a spare Le1s with me so wanted to play around with it for my tiny project, using Le1s as universal remote with Alexa/Echo (using Anymote Skills).
I flashed LineageOS ROM and GAPPS, it booted fine.
Then i tried to flash TWRP using adb. Since then it is on continuous Recovery Boot Loop. It switches On to Stock recovery screen and switches off within seconds and then switches back on.
So I am not able to ADB or use SP Flash tool to flash again.
Tried hard reset also, nothing is working. Vol+ Vol- Power also not working.
So it is lying on my side table going ON and OFF in recovery screen
Any advise, please share.
Thanks.
Flash stock firmware through sp flash tool...search in xda
Device needs to be detected to use SP flash tool. As i mentioned it is in loop automatically switching On and Off in recovery.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open device in recovery mode when it switched off ... And then format data in wipe by typing yes .... Then flash rom u want ... ?
Well the question is how ?
Device is not switching off and not staying in recovery its goes On and Off in a loop.
Try to open other modes .... Fastboot ...if it stays flash new twrp ..... And if it boots again into recovery then may be it's a hardware issue your power button may be stuck
After I flash a TWRP custom recovery to my Sony Z1C, I am still able to power up android. However if I then boot up recovery, I can no longer boot into the Android OS. Its as if booting from recovery damages something that the OS needs.
I feel I might be misunderstanding something or missing a step. E.g. do I need a specific recovery image to match the Android ROM version? Or do I need to root the phone first?
My steps...
Unlocked the bootloader (from fastboot using the Sony method)
Boot into fastboot mode and run: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot the phone - Android launches ok
Power down phone and repeat rebooting - Android still boots ok.
Boot into recovery - this works ok.
Power down phone.
Attempt to boot the Android OS - get the "Sony Xperia" splash screen and then a black screen (with the backlight on).
At this point, I am still able to boot into recovery, but not the OS.
To restore things, I use the Sony flash tool to re-flash the stock ROM (android 5.1.1) and then re-try, flashing a different recovery.
I've tried twrp-3.4.0-1-amami.img, twrp-3.3.1-0-amami.img, twrp-3.2.3-1-amami.img
Thanks.
After trying a few recoveries, I found twrp-3.2.3 by mse1969 worked.
