my Xperia Play R800i will not turn on anymore after i tried to flash a rom... i dont exactly remember which one it was... i hope its not important
what my phone does is showing the Sony Ericsson logo and just stays there... i had it on the entire day just be sure that i wasnt doing something in the background or anything ...
but i never did it on my phone yet... (maybe better if never did this now i think of it)
but anyway pc companion says "null" and thats all it will say further it cannot detect my phone or do anything with it
i hope flashtool works if anyone is willing to lead me through it.
i dont have warranty anymore.

Would you happen to have a custom kernel? Which Sony Ericsson logo is it, the non-moving one or the animated one?
Now, you wouldn't have happened to install a CyanogenMod, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean rom, would you? I know you don't remember which rom you installed, just trying to spark a memory. Anyway, if you did so, then all you need to do is flash a compatible kernel. You see, if the Sony Ericsson logo you are seeing is the non-moving one, then you have the stock kernel, the one that's incompatible with the aforementioned roms.
If you don't want to get involved with this kernel business, then I've provided a Flashtool guide, so you can at least get your phone to a working, albeit factory reset, state:
First, install Flashtool.
Go here and find what you think your stock firmware was, download it.
Place the .ftf file in your Flashtool/firmwares directory.
Open Flashtool (as administrator if necessary) and click on the lightning bolt in the Flashtool window. Highlight Flashmode and select OK. A new window shall pop-up.
Select your downloaded firmware. I should read "R800i" in the first box and "4.0.2.A.0.XX" (with the "XX" being the number of the version you downloaded) in the second, the contents of the third box varies, so disregard it. There are many options for what to keep/replace during flashing, but I'd recommend leaving them as they are. Select OK. The window will now close and a new window will pop-up shortly after.
This window will detail the proceeding steps: With your turned-off phone (make sure its battery is intact), hold the back key (the leftmost one) while inserting the usb from your computer to your phone, continue holding the key until the window closes, DO NOT REMOVE THE USB.
The Flashtool window will now begin streaming various lines detailing its progress, all you need to look for is the line detailing a successful flash which with then tell you to disconnect your phone, now you can remove the USB.
Go ahead and close the remaining Flashtool window, your phone should now be back to default, factory reset, everything except your phone's bootloader and SIM unlocked statuses, they should be how you left them before.
thanks!

Okay, having not used stock in a long time, I've reverted my rom and kernel! Upon doing so, I noticed little wrong. Though I do remember an annoying prompt when I opened the browser, it'd say "Please insert SIM card" and "downloading settings" would pop-up following it.
Aside from that, I can't recreate the problem you're having. Could you go into more detail?

Well... That's something I have never seen before...
Searched the Q&A and troubleshooting section, and I'd found a thread detailing such an error upon switching firmware. No offence but perhaps I didn't give you enough detail on which firmware to download, and for that I apologise.
Would you happen to know what branding your phone is, and post what it is and which firmware you installed (you can find said information in that third box I told you to ignore in Flashtool)? AT&T, Verizon, unbranded/no SIM/unlocked? I ask this as you may have installed incompatible firmware.
As an example, my phone was unbranded and came with no SIM, the pre-installed installed firmware (and the only one that I find to be fully compatible) was the R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 UK Generic. In the context of stock roms, I find that it's best not to stray.
Anyway, you've probably already figured out what to do: find the intended firmware and flash it, using the instructions above. I'd recommend gathering some more outside help, changing the thread's title to reflect the current conundrum should be a good starting point.

Oh, sorry about that. I'd only ever experienced an APN problem when one of the roms I had installed had a broken settings app.
Anyway, it's nice to see that you've fixed your phone yourself, congrats!
I attempted a root on Samsung Note 2 Sprint version (in white). Followed all steps, however phone got stuck in a reboot loop right after I put the option 2 (root only) Odin step in. Sprint ver LPH889 (I believe that is what Odin is calling it, option 72). Toolkit used was ADB 4.1.0.
Original symptoms were that the Android updater was looping trying to load everything; being new I made it worse and tried recoveries and reloads which also failed. Now it boots, goes to splash, circling blue oval image and...it stays there.
Good news: I have access to download mode and recovery reset mode (including sideloading).
Bad news: every thread I've followed has given me an issue.
I have recovery access but I need some idea of where to go from here and searches have shown near but not exact symptoms. I have unplugged it from the pc, removed the battery, done a factory reset, attempted to reflash via Odin (root) attempted to reflash stock via Odin and so far I am still stuck in a reboot loop. Windows detects the phone but shows a problem in device manager because possibly it won't stop rebooting. Any help you can provide is appreciated and if at all possible I need to recover some form of working phone here, and soon. My girl needs it for work and Sprint's network in my area barely works from day to day (which they admit but don't credit my account for). This phone has problems sending/receiving calls, they claim it's fine, and I was forced to try a root to get some form of working device. That failed too.
I'm a newb at this...it's been years since I flashed a phone (Razor v3), so...any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to crawl to sprint/samsung and get it replaced, which I don't want to do. Thanks.

What method are you using to root.....I used the "toolkit" and had no problems at all.

I thought it would to but I did not want to dig through 70+ pages of the thread when searching failed...unless I really needed to. Most of it is old and doesn't apply.
I was directed by the referenced Youtube vid. I used the options referenced for the phone in this thread with that toolkit. I backed up existing files (not as one unit, but internal files and I think OS), went for the option 2, followed the instructions and things went great through odin...until android went to update and started looping with the 'updating files' percentages. At that point I tried to restore to basic and started clearing caches and such and that is how I got to where I am.
When that failed I started looking at the leaked stock flash and that failed on shoot.ini which that guy never addressed because he thought his international version was all versions (that's why I choose 'doesitwork?' as screen name ). So i'm down to sideloading or something. I really need guidance, and I emailed the toolkit author but I'm still waiting on a reply.
Any thoughts?

When used the toolkit a year ago, I found that I had to turned off all firewalls and antivirus apps for it to work properly. Once I did that it worked fine....give it a shot...can't hurt......might even be able to repair what you've done so far.....Good Luck!!!
I'll give this my best shot...download a rooted rom from the development section and place it on your SD card.
Download toolkit from here (I take no credit for this) http://d-h.st/iu0
Put phone in download mode.
Open ODIN and uncheck "auto reboot". Then click "PDA" and add the .tar file (recovery).
Plug phone into PC (make sure to have samsung drivers installed).
Once ODIN sees the phone you can click "start".
When the recovery flash is complete, pull your battery to ensure power down.
Boot into recovery : volume up, home, power all at the same time.
Flash rooted rom.
Toolkit is an extra and unnecessary step.

Grab the one click flavor of choice. Use the one with 1090526 in the name as that's the full version.
Open in windows, put phone in download mode and flash. Easy Peasy.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.
Sorry for the late reply, I had some issues with the "catchpa".
The one click fix worked like a charm, thank you! I will soon be making a contrib to the site. It's a shame I couldn't root as easily :laugh: .
I know the level of work that goes into this stuff and the desire to keep on top of new gear while maintaining support for the old and I appreciate the community coming to my aid, so again, thank you!

It is usually a pretty common courtesy to hit the "thanks button" when someone helps you out.
I am not at all trying to be mean, just letting you know.

edit: for some reason, the tool kit links have been pulled by a mod. ..but this video helped me get twrp back. phew. zedomax to the rescue.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7leb9OznhqY
Hey guys.
I'm new to this forum... and am posting this as I no longer know what to do, and need some guidance.
First I'll say that I've looked ALL OVER this forum and others, but couldn't solve my problem.
...So I subscribed in the hopes that someone will be able to more properly guide me.
------------------------------------------
So, first thing's fisrt - the story from the beginning:::
My device is an OPPO Find7 (QHD Version)
I've been using Cyanogenmod 11 for many months and without any problems.
Few days ago I installed the first nightly update of CM12 - and phone went into boot loop.
I had to restore to the ColorOS backup that was saved on my phone... Reinstalled CM11 and all is good.
Later I again updated to CM12 - and again was forced to revert back to Backup and then to CM11 due to bugs (phone wouldn't wake up after being locked, etc)
Anyway, There were three nightly build of CM12 to that point,and the last one was working in a relatively stable manner,
exept two bugs.
1. Contact names didn't appear when mamkiing to receiving a call - even though they were saved on the phone.
But this bug can be overlooked.
2. This one was more cirtical - - For some reason the phone said that I have no more free
space (even though I had 20+GB), thus preventing me from installing or updating
anything.
I figured that, perhaps, becuase of all the re-installs that I've done - my system memory got clogged.
So I decided, with more haste than thought, to perform a full wipe...SDcard and all, which consequently also removed
my ColorOS backup and everything, basically.
-----------------------------------------
The currrent outcome of what I did:::
Phone has no OS installed on it, and PC doesn't llow my to put files in there.
I can currently boot in three different states:
1. Normal boot with power button - - - OPPO logo appears - followed by a black
screen PC recognizes that I've connected a device, tries to install MTP Device and
evetually fails.
2. Power Button + Vol Up - - - Fastboot screen.
3. Power button+Vol-Down - - - Boots into the Gummified Team Win Recovery 2.7.1.0
In here, several things need to be mentioned.
- In the "Mount" section, I can choose which Partitions to mount to unmount, but
don't actually have the "Mount" button inside... So I can't mount.
- ADB Sideload doesn't work. When activating - it says "Starting ADB Sideload
Feature and just goes on forever, until I cancel it - and it says that it failed.
--------------------------------------------------
What I tried doing:::
Tried to use the Recovery Installer for OPPO, which is the exe that is available on the internet, that comes with drivers and all - and open command line with various options.
Tried installing the stock Color OS recovery, but when booting into it I still get the teamwin recovery
I am unsure how to proceed.
Is there a way to fix my phone?
I have my CM11 working version and gapps ready - just need to place it in the phone somehow.
Any help?

Do you have an OTG Usb drive. If so, you can use it with Nameless TWRP. Copy the Installation files into the USB drive and plug the usb drive into the phone. Now boot into Nameless recovery. It will show USBOTG. You can install the CM11 from USBOTG.
Flash Nameless recovery using Fastboot.
Download Nameless Recovery from HERE.

This link explains how to restore our find 7 to factory settings:
oppoforums.com/threads/guida-riportare-il-find-7-7a-nello-stato-dacquisto-con-il-firmware-sahara.24561
if phone doesn't start try it i've use it several times and it works fine
I might just be reposting what dracula6mt was talking about, but there's an English post with full brick recovery here: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/. I've used it before and it works perfectly. Just make sure you follow it exactly as written!
Bug
same bug report
for retrive your data just open the gummy twrp recovery, go on mount --> sd card and internal memory... in this way when you connect the phone to pc you will be able to see what's inside and try to rescue your data. in the same way you can send files to it.
I suggest you to get back your files, reboot the phone in fastboot mode (hold power and volume +) and just flash a recovery, it depends about what you want to install:
twrp for custom roms https://dl.twrp.me/find7/
colorOS stock recovery http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=17397&extra=
you have to install fastboot on your pc and do from a command prompt:
fastboot devices
this will check if your phone is connected
fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img
that will flash the recovery, only check the name of the .img file you want to install
be carreful, twrp has only a version for both find7s (QHD) and find7a while colorOS recovery 1.0 is different, unified for both models in 1.2 if i remember right...
after that you just have to put on your external storage the rom you want to use, wipe all except the external sd card, and flash...

Is there a way to fix my phone?
I have my CM11 working version and gapps ready - just need to place it in the phone somehow.
Any help?

Every human beeing who can communicate gets the password for free, especialy OPPO and OPO owners, every e-mail i get starting with "Pasword pleaseee pleaseee pleaseee" gets different behaviour of course. OH, and every CLEVER people already knows the tool in my article, i mentioned it a couple of times, for stupids like you its impossible to see of course. I helped hundreds of people for free and sometimes i request for donation, ITS MY VERY COMMON RIGHT + to help those i want and not to help to those that i dont want.
Greetings from TURKEY you silly Viking.

Taken from my article ( for those who can read ) :
Please Stop asking for password without reading the article completely till the end, THIS TOOL WONT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE NECESSARY SERVICE ROM ! Try sharing your phone model first and also try to share the service ( QPST ) Rom if you have it so more people can use it, THANK YOU.

Hahaha,if so why, don't you post a link here, on mega or something, instead of all this " mail me" crap??? That would be a honest thing too do, instead....
And no, it's not common too sort in who and which, you want to help out, at least not here on XDA, we help every body, with no exceptions.
I say again, give us this file freely or I report you too forum admins.
My x9076 is bricked because of me making a lvm error, but I'd rather have it semi Working, with messed up partitions, like now, than pay our beg some guy like you for something that not working any way.
Last chance give this freely or get locked out from xda
EDIT: believe me, this turk psyko, has NOTHING not known already, regarding unbricking devices, there´s hundreds of posts here and on oppo forum about people having storage issues etc, not one ever mentioned anything about any other tools than those oppo them selves gave us, there is NO other working ways not known as this cracy dude claims, he´s just running a scam and wants 20$ for nothing - OS_MAN is a fraud dude all over.
EDIT 2: Silence from sir os_man tells the truth....

When asking for help in a free space and for free, sometimes some manners can really make a huge difference. I think you fail to understand that even though you have a problem and someone might have a solution, that someone has no obligation whatsoever to share their time and the fruit of their research with you, especially so when threatened.
Hmm, considering the files and how-to's for unbricking a Find7 are freely available from Oppo forums (and here, I believe), I'm pretty suspicious of anyone doing ANYTHING other than giving them away freely. The files I downloaded and have used, a few times now, were free and had no passwords on zip/rar archives.
As for 'fruits of research', this guy wasn't the guy who put up the how-to's or did the initial research on it so, in my books, he doesn't get the credit, be it kudos OR cash money.
Some folks seem to literally want something for nothing. No harm in asking for donations, sure, but don't be at all surprised if I tell you to go f*** yourself. That's not how this game works, we all stand on each other's shoulders.
Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance
I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!
Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.
Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.
I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!
Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.
I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method
well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.
What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.
Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.
Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.
links are down....check this instead
Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy
Good day my friends. This is my first post but i read these forums very often. I own a Digicel Dl750 (alcatel 4037a) which i would really appreciate some help with. I tried to flash my phone some time ago using a tutorial i found online since i couldn't find anything useful here (my go to source for these things). However, after trying to flash the rom and failing, i am stuck with a phone that won't respond to any input. COnnecting it with a usb simply gives me a white light on the phone, and device manager reads a "MTK usb port" device. it won't boot or anything else. Been trying to install some kind of recovery but i've had no luck so far. Is anyone here able to provide me with a backup of a working phone so i can fix mine please.
Edit Note1: After a bit more testing, I have pretty much confirmed that it is a problem with the preloader as the phone seems to completely skip the preloader when you connect it to the pc, and after a few seconds goes to the bootrom(?) instead. I am making this call based on the hardware ids show in device manager.

Well i was able to get an OSP dump which solved my problem. Not sure it would be of use to you though
Where can I get this dump at Denis?
