Okay so i had a rooted phone with xionia kernel and decided to use my nandroid backup to restore to stock VM Rom. Well like an idiot i factory reset from android GUI with stock VM ROM and forgot i had thuderc custom recovery. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i cant flash to another rom or restore my nandroid backup. i"ve seen posts about this specific problem and people just get refered to a thread thats not specific for my problem. If i can get any help to get my phone back to stock or rooted just so i can still use it, it would be deeply appreciated.
You can try to help yourself by using the RomTools present here:

Other than that the only other solution I can see right now is to enter in Emergency\Download mode and flash with KDZ.
Please follow the guide here: http://prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
and try to flash the stock recovery again.

Thanks for your reply. Ok i was rooting two phones one with succes and the other Iam stuck in a bootloop. I used Z4root 1.30 to root . Installed rom manager etc. Made a copy of the system. But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?
Ps Is there a way that i can access the internal phone memory to put a new rom to flash to?

odin back to stock re root and flash again. Have you tried using the toolbox?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
So you CAN enter Recovery Mode? If Yes, you can try to flash another rom, or factory reset it, which usually works. If that doesn't work theres 1 more thing to try and this will work.
Download mode.
Odin.
Stock JFD
Off you go to flashing 600 more roms daily

Agree With Factory Reset, i have donde that before and it works
well, besides the many bugs, my carrier internet 3G or any internet at all is failing, nothing works, add to that the fact that i can barely make phone calls due to lousy mic+speaker quality.
so, i wanted to restore my settings to my old ones, but when i entered CWM i found out i dont have the option to restore and its a different CWM
and i dont have a root.
so my question is -
how do i restore my system to the regular state?
thanks alot!
Can you still put the phone in download mode? If so, you should still be able to flash whatever firmware you want via Odin..
Flash the kernel that you had before with odin, assuming there's a tar version.
first of all if its a clockwork recovery you should still be able to restore your phone...that's if you backed up. if you didn't then go to the development section ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ) and download your original firmware then flash through odin. should get you back to stock. and then re root, via your kernels.
hope this helps.
excuse me for my ignorance, but the kernal is KP1 for my information, if i put a different kernal, doesn't brick my phone?
i remember once when i did it and i got boot looped.
just asking, thanks!
if i flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
through odin, will it solve my problem?
Yes you can flash another kernel, via Odin flash the latest cf root. Once done enter recovery and restore away cf root injects cwm into the kernel.
As mentioned above, put phone into download mode then flash with odin.

Problem.
So i entered downloading mode, flashed Lite'ning 6.1 through ODIN.
I opened the device, i got bootlooped.
i said ok, ill try CWM.
i went to CWM, i tried restoring and it said it couldn't find the restoration files.. (not the excact name of the error, thats what i understood from it)
what do i do? T_T
SOLVED :
i updated my CWM to a newer version, and now restore works.
thank you all very much for your help, if anything happens, ill post in this thread again ^_^!
Hi
I was wandering if somebody could help me? I tried to flash a liberium rom and also flashed TWRP recovery. Did a backup and tried to boot my phone and it wont boot? It wont go into recovery mode also. It does however go into Download mode.
Also, I have a nandroid backup on my pc but dont know how to restore it via Odin? Dont want to do anything further as am fearful that it might make things worse!
If somebody could guide me how to get this working please? I would be very grateful. Phone is S3 I9300 (International version)
Many thanks

By your case u can only flash a stock rom via odin.
But it looks if u flashed wrong recovery by the looks of it.
And from that its not a certain return.
But u can always try
Learn how to flash with odin.
And go for it.
Any help u need just pm me

Don't blame on TWRP, you might be doing something wrong.
1. Flash recovery via Odin, TWRP or Phliz touch.
2. Enter recovery to restore your backup, both TWRP and Phliz will work for TWRP format backup, or reflash the ROM /Kernel or whatever you flashed, better do a redownload, file may be corrupted.
3. If you still unable to enter recovery, flash stock firmware via Odin and use Titanium backup to extract / restore your data from recovery's backup.

Hi Moderator
Is it possible to close this thread as my query has been resolved now? Many thanks

So I finally tried some AOSP, but missed my camera immensely so I went to switch back to my backup that I made in TWRP.
Unfortunately AOSP roms use CWM recovery and it won't recognize my TWRP so I've tried to redo the Dual Recovery method but since I no longer have stock kernel it fails.
Now I've also tried to use fastboot to flash a boot.img which I thought was a stock kernel....but obviously I was wrong or it didn't want to work.
Either way as of now I'm using FlashTool to flash stock image, then root, then install DualRecovery again and THEN restore backup.
Does anyone know where I went wrong and hopefully provide a faster solution in case I go back to trying ASOP again? Maybe backup in CWM next time?
Now I do have to flashable DualRecovery.zip that I did try in CWM but it didn't work either, I'm guessing since I didn't have stock kernel...
Thanks in advanced. Why didn't Sony just have a dedicated recovery partition!

Thanks, I thought about that but I didn't want any other kernel than stock. Couldn't find stock, but I went the long route and now I'm back in business!

the recoveries in the original development sections are actualy stock kernels with recovery, you could use those instead if you dont want dooms modded/custom kernel

Well I did try to use the dual recovery but it didn't work. It says it is only for stock kernel so I didn't expect it to, but I had to try...
@ZPaul2Fresh8
EDIT: DON'T INSTALL IF YOU STILL WANT TO USE CM!!!
It won't boot the system of cm if you flashed the twrp img, just flash it if you want to go to a backup!
"
It was very easy for me, at the end i had a twrp 2.7.0.0 in my cm11'd Z2, you need pc, and usb cable, and fastboot and adb drivers, lol its way easier than flashing .ftf, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764971 and download the zip and extract it, follow this tout: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270 and you will be all good...

If you have a custom recovery installed (which I suppose you do) the flash Strix's stock ROM zip(you ll get it under the development thread) , for the time being that ll do, and if you want to go back entirely to stock (including stock recovery) follow the steps one more time carefully, download the firmware of your device and use mfastboot, everything should be fine(I have myself done that)
Hit Thanks if that was helpful
thanks for the lead am going to update what happens next in the thread thanx again

If you have a custom recovery, like twrp, you must be able go access your SD card, try entering into the recovery mode
