Dear XDA developers,
I was tired of sony ericson servers being overloaded and thus being unable to update my phone, so I decided that I wanted to have CyanogenMod on it. I followed this tutorial http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide and then I had a phone that kept showing me the startup animation of a droid with a spinning circle.
I had done the CWM backup before flashing as described by the tutorial. I've searched a lot on the internet and tried these tips to try to fix a bootloop:
- wipe cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe dalvik cache
- install update.zip (cyanogenmod) again
- restarted 100 times
In all kind of combinations, nothing helped.
Then next I wanted to just restore the backup I had made, so I pressed Restore and selected the backup. Rebooted the phone and the SE splashscreen showed up. Then the SE logo kept displaying for minutes. I connected the phone to Logcat in Eclipse (I'm an android developer) to see that the phone kept doing the same loop over and over again.
In all the steps I did I never rooted the phone, because the tutorial didnt say so. After reading a lot it felt like I should have rooted it first. Can anyone confirm that this is correct?
I now beg for you help to tell me what to do next? I have downloaded latest flashtool, I also have a working flashboot. I dont know what to flash/do anymore. I'm totally lost and the phone is looping forever. What should I do now?

reflash to stock FW using wootanserver.
...or you can just flash via fastboot prerooted kernel like Rage 2.4 for mini pro, and try everything again.

same problem
Guys I have the same problem, but I even rooted my phone, the CyanogenMod does start with the android on a skateboard and once the homescreen even came up but just rebooted straight after.
If I were to start all over with stock firmware how would I go on about doing that? Links?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
Did you flash the kernel provided in the zip file?
Also, before restoring your previous backup try doing a full wipe, non just factory, but go into mounts&storage from cwm and hit the fortmat sstem and then tr restoring backup.

After a lot of research I found the solution, even though it takes me back to stock rom I'm happy
Basically I repaired it with pc companion, on the home screen --> clicked on start under Support Zone; then Start under Phone Software Update;
then on the pop up box I clicked repair phone (underlined in blue); { click Continue, check box, Next} and just follow on screen instructions and the phone is reset to factory settings :good:
However I still found my bootloader unlocked when I tried to install rom again, don't whether it stayed or because I also unlocked my simlock today too.
Anyway the rom still didn't work for me so had to repeat this process all over again
If anyone has a good tutorial for rooting a sony xperia mini pro and & installing a good rom on it pls let me know, my model's still on Gingerbread and it hogs the battery crazy.

I wanted to change the kernel from my P500 to solve the lag problem and get better overall performance.
I rooted the phone using gingerbreak 1.20
after that i installed from the market Rom manager restarted the phone, and i backup the phone from there.
After that I got stuck with my kernel replacement and I gave up and I wanted to reset the phone to default state. I didn't do anything to my phone.
I unrooted the phone and did the factory data reset.
Now when I reboot the phone and press power+volume down+home I still get the Clockworkmod Recovery boot menu. In an untouched P500 what do you get when pressing that combination? Is there any way to make my phone 100% factory state ?
sorry for my bad english
u should even delete the recovery.....(TO get rid of it)
the recovery is on the sd card, right? i formated the sd card... so there is nothing related to rom manager...
u must try flashing the default rom from the devlopment forum.(KDZ Updater)
blah
if i wait for gingerbread update will the update solve this?
The Recovery is not on the sdcard.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
and download the file "Original_Recovery_thunderg.zip" (or something to that effect) and flash it through cwm. This will restore the recovery as it was originally.
The zip is unsigned so you will have to toggle signature verification in cwm recovery.
@mihir he doen't want to get his recovery back(in other word he wants to remove it).
@soberspine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881 check dis thread and install the original rom...
@devil the original recovery zip in the link will restore the condition of the recovery to factory condition, i.e remove it.
this android reminds me of installing windows 95
the new unpdate to gingerbread will come out next month, so the update to 2.3 will get rid of that boot menu and other things that where changed when I installed Rom manager? in other words will the phone go to factory state before rooting/unrooting and stuff.
Yeah most probably the recovery will be cleared if and when you update to gb. But if you want to clear it now use the zip, it works.

I don't think you'll be able to update to GB from a custom ROM or rooted phone. Even if the option comes up, it is recommended to go back to stock state (without recovery and root) or else it might cause problems.
i didn't installed any custom rom. the only thing I did was to root my phone using gingerbreak and then installed rom manager.
the only thing that changed to my phone is that now it has that boot menu clockworkmod.
now i unrooted my phone.
So it is not safe to make official update even if the only change is that i have on my phone clockworkmode?
Step by step picture guide to completely restore to open-box state using KDZ updater
did this for thousands of times and if you are doubted in any steps feel free to ask me
btw for your question, an un-touched optimus one pressing the recovery combination will result in
a stable image of an android jumped out of a white-rectangular box
a bar at the bottom loading
but that's it, nothing more no matter how long you wait
Also for your updating question:
LG WONT recognize your phone with their official updating tool only when you are ROOTED (so of course when you perform any other steps after rooting, it wont either... e.g. installing custom recovery, flash roms etc)
BUT if you go back to the original thing with KDZ, LG will update anything for you -tested by myself!
thank you for all the clarifications and the tutorial.
I will wait now for the new android 2.3 release and ill do the whole thing then.
It is possible after rooting and installing clockworkmod the phone to work slower?
It feels like the phone is responding slower or maybe is just me imagining things .
hehe. nothing like that.

Hi guys,
Please forgive me if I sound stupid as I'm a complete newbie when it comes to modding Android phones.
Basically, I'm after installing the CM6 ROM onto my phone but have not been successful at all due to me not knowing how to follow the instructions for doing this properly especially from the links below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066824
I spent hours last night trying to do it but had no luck at all as I just can't understand how to and couldn't find clear enough instructions.
The reason I want to install this is because my current version of 2.1 is very unstable and reboots almost twice a day without fail. Also it freezes when doing simple things such as browsing apps or even the web or facebook etc. Also crashes often too causing me to reboot the phone.
Things I've tried so far:
Performed a full backup using in built Backup & Restore app then copied te backup file onto the PC
Managed to Root phone using SuperOneClick (easy enough app to use)
Downloaded CWM Recovery from one of the download links from the links above and ended up with 2 files found in system\bin\ called chargemon & recovery.tar.
I copied these 2 files in the root of the phone through Windows then tried rebooting phone then clicking on back key several times at boot screen but do not get any recovery mode or anything.
Tried xRecovery and this has an extra file called busybee but this doesn't work for me either.
Googled how to install xRecovery and CWM Recovery but none of the Youtube videos or sites give me clear instructions I can follow. Different sites have different methods.
In the end I got annoyed and unrooted the phone.
Would the instructions in this link wok for me do you think?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164475
Has anyone tried this method?
It seems easy enough but knowing my luck, it'll prob fail lol.
Right I tried following the instructions from the link below but I couldn't get the recovery app running after the batch file reboots my phone. The only step I skipped is restoring to a fresh copy of factory rom using seus but surely this shouldnt make a difference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164475&page=2
Goto mini pro android development thread see the post of quangnhut123 about AIO Automatic Installation....
Right I followed the link below as before after restoring the phone back to a factory 2.1 rom using Seus. This time eit let me into the recovery mode where I was easily able to flash to CM6 rom provided by slade87. It took me to the android logo screen after rebooting the phone kept crashing here. I then reset the phone to factory defaults using recovery mode then it got me to the gui but there were no icons being displayed so I rebooted again & finally everything seemed normal.
It's still buggy though as titanium backup failed to restore my phone contacts even though it told me it was successful. I had backed them up before I had reset the phone to factory rom.
I'm unable to turn off the annoying sound when im typing on the keyboard even though i've checked every setting.
Live wallpaper doesn't work at all. Just gets stuck saying 'loading' when i choose one to preview.
I thought this cm7 rom was bug free.
Any ideas on fixes for the bugs reported anyone??
hi,
well, I have a mini pro also and I noticed that it's a little different from mini but there are good threads here in xda and I think you've read those as I understood from your post.
I'm using the cm6.01 like you choose and it took me some time to get there.... just like you but i can tell you what I did and maybe it helps you:
I used FlashTool_0.2.9.1 and rooted from there, then clicked "ask root perms" and in advanced menu I've selected "install busybox". after this I clicked in "xrecovery"
...ok, now the 1st part is done, and you have to put your rom (for mini pro) in sd card.
reboot and when you see the white text "sony ericsson" start pressing the right key ( <--) in your x10.
from here I did:wipe data, wipe cache and install zip from ad card, chose zip from sd card.
after install you'll reboot and you should go to this boot menu again and chose wipe data, to avoid crashing at the X logo.
I did this and it's done, without any problems!
Thanks for your response.
I've already done most of what you have mentioned anyway. The only difference is I used SuperOneClick to root my phone then used a script to install CWM Recovery.
My CM6.01 zip file was already stored on the SD card and this is where I browsed to just like you.
I'm just going to leave it to be honest.
I've noticed the touch keyboard makes the clicking sounds when used but the hardware keyboard doesn't make any sounds.
I've manually finished copying my contacts over so everything is kind of back to normal after lots of hassle.
I'm scared to flash it again because Titanium recovery being hopeless and very unreliable after my findings.
Why so scared?
Save numbers in SIMcard, with a free smsbackup you can save your sms's, by hooking up your phone to the pc you have your photo's, what do you need more?
Then you can do whatever you want, you can't really brick the phone because mine did nothing, and with SEUS I got it working again.
Just root like you did before, get the CWMRecovery.apk to install CWM automaticly, put any rom you like on the root of your SD and press back on boot for CWM to flash it.
Then do factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, I always do battery stats, then goto install from sd and select your ROM.
I'm pretty sure I know this, but I should have Titanium Backup ONLY backup my user apps, none of the system apps and system data correct?
I'm having a problem now. I don't know how I messed this up. I had been trying to get into XRecovery, the option was there but it just didn't work. So I used Flashtool to reinstall it. Got into recovery worked fine. Rebooted, and my phones almost a brick. The system is crashing, cant do anything. I cant even put files onto the phone to use XRecovery to Flash. the phone also just keeps endlessly rebooting.
Anyone able to help?
I'm going to use this thread when things are working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192152&highlight=[recovery+image]+[prerooted+%2B+recovery]+x10+GB+3.0.1.g.0.75
To reflash my phone. But my Titanum Backup also backed up my old rom's system files and data, when I get my phone up and running again, Titanium should give me the option of what I want to restore right? So I don't mess things up by installing old system data.
Thanks
Fix with flashtool by flashing any 2.1 se firmware. Just ask if you need help with flashtool and I can provide a few guides.

Update: Was able to get into XRecovery.
Was getting ready to just cut my loses so I flashed the baseband. Then when I rebooted....everything worked. So I have no idea what happend.
Yep, you have to reflash the stock 2.1 SE ROM you can flash it with Flash Tool, with SEUS or PC Companion, my own favorite method to go back to stock is PC Companion by the way
hey there
i hope my phone is not bricked, but i've been looking now for two hours for a solution and haven't found anything.
I have a rooted GT-9100 with jelly bean 4.1.2 XWLS8 official Samsung Rom.
In the last few days i was having problems with many apps, especially the video player and the gallery app, which wouldn't start because there wasn't enough memory (even after having deleted all the trash files and dumpstate files).
as i had not made a data wipe after updating from xwssl to xwls8 (i rooted afterwards, i didn't want to reconfigure everything again), i wanted to make a backup before i would try the data wipe now.
So i made the backup with my Rom Toolbox pro on the sd card, rebooted the phone to recovery mode, wiped the data and rebooted the phone. as always the starter mode wanted me to select the language, which i did and then suddenly the screen went black.
It started to reboot and since then the phone is hanging in the Samsung Logo.
i've tried to wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe kalvik, no success.
tried to restore from the backup i made this morning, says md5 mismatches.
what now? any suggestions?
kind regards skapo

Back to ICS stock (not 4.0.4) via Odin (Get one from Samfirmware or AndroidFirmwares.net), that will give you a clean slate & you can go from there.
Edit - Or....Search on here for the md5 mismatch thing with your backup. There's been plenty of threads on here over the past 18 mths or so. Not sure if these methods work all the time (or even at all, I've never had the problem so never had to use them), but you might as well find the threads & see if any of the suggestions for fixes work for you. Could save you doing a clean install of stock & starting again (which will obviously be somewhat time consuming).
thx for the fast reply
why ics? isn't jb stable enough?
is there actually a pure rom like the nexus phone for the s2? i was wondering if the touchwiz from samsung might be responsible for so many problems...

Worry about all that once you get the phone working normally again, this should be the only thing you're thinking about right now. First thing's first
yeah, you're right. i'll give it a shot i'll update this post tonight. thx
UPDATE:
Ok, i've reinstalled a ICS 4.0.3 I9100XXLPS, Buildnumber IML74K.XWLP7 (whatever this may be, where is the guide to the structure of Android and all the definitions, can't find any proper introduction).
It seems to work fine, but i had to wipe data and wipe cache partition, otherwise the phone still got stuck in the boot loop.
So what now? I've tested the root access, which of course isn't available anymore after flashing the ICS Stock ROM.
Do i need to install first a JB ROM with root access to (try to) restore from my backup or can i do it right from here rooting the ICS ROM?

OK, i think i've got the problem solved:
The first thing i tried is to root the ICS and restore with the CWM. Interesting that this time it didn't give me any md5 mismatch, but it suddenly stopped during the process and the phone booted normally to ICS, in other words the restore didn't work.
So I downloaded the latest SGS2 JB I9100XWLSJ again (i had that one installed before the whole mess), i thought that the one i had installed before may have been corrupted. I flashed the ROM, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache and rooted the phone with Siyah. From there i tried to restore again, but again it stopped because of the md5 mismatch.
At least the new JB ROM booted successfully, which allowed me to access the backup file in the phone's internal sd with my PC.
I edited the nandroid.md5-file with notepad ++ and the md5 calculator. There's a good instruction from here. The folder distribution from the original instruction is a little bit confusing, that's why i've uploaded another one
I recalculated every md5 number for each file in the backup (except the nandroid.md5-file itseld of course and in some cases the .android_secure.img [i didn't have such a file]) and modified the md5 numbers inside the nandroid.md5-file.
That solved my problem :laugh: I was able to restore from my backup .
Even so, the video player app is still crashing. I restored my files and all the config, but with it the same problems i had before :crying:
Good work on finding a solution & posting it here, I'm sure it will help someone at some point in the future
Re: the FC's with the video player (which one ?), sounds like restoring it/it's settings is causing you problems. You might want to try clearing data on it first - go into settings/apps/all & select the app, then clear data; and if that doesn't work, uninstall it then do a clean install without restoring the app or settings. If the settings were backed up on ICS & you're currently using JB, that may be the cause of the FC's.

Hi, guys
my phone is Huawei p10 Lite (WAS-LX2)
Note: if you have a bricked huawei p10 lite of any kind (incl WAS-LX2) (or a NZ model)
and you want to know how i finally fixed mine, jump down to the end where it says
GOOD NEWS
quick synopsis: unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, now i get an error (255) when trying to create backup using twrp..
you can read the rest if you want but the above basically covers it please help
so i have unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp, before i did this i did a factory reset through androids settings, the phone is also only two months old.. but i cannot create a backup using twrp, it always fails in the same place when backing up data, does this mean my stock rom that has never been altered in anyway ect is somehow corrupt? wtf? i havnt even rooted it yet, i was going to make a backup first (of a known good rom.. lol)
i am assuming the data files are part of the rom? not something you can ignore.. they were one of the few things selected by default.. i have tried rebooting phone a few times, formatting sd card etc (64gb) so there is plenty of space...
any help would be much appreciated
the tutorial i was following is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
my phones full build (or do i mean firmware number?..) number: WAS-LX2C706B170
android version 7.0
emui 5.1
any more info, just ask..
also, ive heard that once you have installed twrp/ unlocked bootloader you cannot use system update or androids factory reset without bricking your phone? is that true? otherwise i want to try that, i just want to root my damn phone already... or... its been a long time since i last rooted a phone... you dont need root to make a twrp rom backup do you? nah, surely not..?
or could my twrp install be corrupt? the tutorial said to drag and drop the downloaded file into cmd, but that wasnt working so i entered the location manually, it still appeared to install fine that way though so surely thats not it. i dont know
ok, i just bricked my phone... i did a factory reset in twrp, thinking it was... a factory reset... i googled whether it was safe first and everything came up clean... but it is not it wiped the os or something and now i just get a boot loop... what the hell? how could i be so stupid?! and how could twrp not warn me.. it was just a factory reset? and i havnt even rooted it yet, at this point i would probably prefer it was rooted in the hope their would be more options available to me to un brick it.. ok now i really need someones help.. why am i drinking and trying to watch tv while doing this, i am so stupid, this is the best and most expensive phone ive ever owned, what have i done?! sorry sorry ill calm down...
so if my firmware number is: WAS-LX2C706B170 then can i use one of these (also for huawei p10 lite) and if so what would be the difference? why are the numbers slightly different? same phone model, different firmware/ slightly...
here they are:
WAS-LX2C706B120
WAS-LX2C185B121
and they each had a OTA and a full firmware version too.
here is the link: https://romfirmware.com/2017/08/04/huawei-p10-lite-was-lx2/
but before i try these things, is there any saving my current stock rom? i dont understand how a factory reset could prevent it from booting properly..? its not actually bootlooping, it either gets stuck on logo, or goes to black screen but you can still see the volume slider when pressing volume buttons, see the home and back buttons (which do nothing) and hear the lock sound when you press the power button... still always a black screen though.. i guess its possible i knocked the format data button in twrp but im 95% sure i didnt. if i remove twrp and install stock recovery would i be able to get the stock rom working that way? or is there any way to do an OTA update/ fix as i havnt rooted it yet so it should be capable (except i cant boot to rom..) if i hold down all buttons it seems to try to do something... it says emui then goes to 4% then says software install failed: the update package does not exsist. please download the package again... reboot system now..? whats that all about?
ok, so i have found a possible solution but would like confirmation from someone who knows these things first...
i found this tool: Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT)
link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
and using this i have found my exact firmware, apparently straight from the official huawei update servers. the firmware number matches exactly, but there is no mention of it being for a huawei p10 lite so not 100% sure its a good idea, but if the whole firmware number matches perfectly and its the only one of its kind it must be the right one surely? and the size is the same as other huawei p10 lite firmwares..
here is the direct link:http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1514/g104/v89953/f2/full/update.zip
please someone else chime in to give me some advice...
is there any risk with flashing roms, or can i always still access twrp recovery to flash a new rom if i brick the phone?
cheers all
ok UPDATE:
i tried the repair file system option in twrp on the data partition just for fun (wrong word, im not having fun..) because i thought this rom was a lost cause..
upon reboot a huawei warning pops up saying the data partition has some serious damage and offers to try a low level format, it finishes successfully then restarts.
no change, still broken, but it offers to do a full format of data due to serious damage.
after restart phone boots fine, and enters setup wizard for first boot etc... perfect.
problem is, i still cant backup the data partition in twrp, still get same error:
createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
bacjup failed..??
did i somehow get a brand new phone with a bad flash of a stock rom straight from the manuafacturer? with a slightly corrupted data partition... is there anyway to fix this? or can i assume the rom i downloaded from huaweis servers for my exact firmware is correct and i can use that as a backup in case i need it?
or in case my data is corrupt should i try to install that rom now?
or should i try to reflash twrp first and see if i can get a successful backup?
or should i just forget all this crap now my phone works and go straight to rooting it?
i really need some professional advice here.. lol
clearly i aint no expert
ok, so i noticed the frp was still locked for some reason so using adb, i relocked and unlocked bootloader, now frp is unlocked too, reflashed twrp, wiped dalvik cach/ cache, tried backup again...
no change, still fails on data partition, same error 255...?!
im lost,
close to trying to flash that rom i found...
or at least just rooting already..
OK UPDATE: first the bad news, then the good news:
so i gave up on backing up my data partition, as it was clearly somehow corrupt?...
so i went ahead and rooted my phone, everything was more or less working untill i used apps2sd...
that required several reboots and partitioning my sd card etc, then it said something about needing systemless root and a reboot, i went ahead with that and then my phone started bootlooping again, this time there was no fixing it, i of course tried removing sd card too.. nothing..
so i tried restoring to the rom i found using huawei firmware finder tool, that didnt work, using twrp to install zip, i got error -9? (couldnt find that one on the net..)
tried unzipping and putting update.app in dload folder on root of sd card, then booting to erecovery pressing vol- vol+ and power button, that also failed. now i was stressed near tears, this was the third day of research and trying to fix this... so i searche dhigh and wide, and gave up on stock roms, i figured that a custom rom designed for my chipset (hi6250)
and said to work on a huawei p10 lite then it should at least semi work on my phone, i did more research and the rom creator said to only use his version of TWRP to flash their ROM, so i reflashed to theirs... BIG mistake, if the custom recovery is the only thing you can boot into and the only way to access boot loader, do NOT risk losing it.. i did.. i lost my recovery..
so there for i lost my bootloader, so therefore i lost my ability to use ADB, or connect to pc in any way. i wanted to step in front of a bus at this point... but then there was:
GOOD news:
so i resorted to trying the official recovery roms on XDA for p10 lites, only i had been avoiding them as none of the build/ firmware numbers matched mine at all.. but i went ahead and clicked on the first download, (here is the link to post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097) - you might find a few comments from me near the end there, lol..
anyway , once downloaded i unzipped and just pasted the dload folder straight to sd card and rebooted phone with all three buttons depressed. to my amazement when the huaei erecovery came up it started installing!!!? wow, i tried not to get my hopes up though..
first boot restarted after blue huawei splash logo, second boot went back to erecovery, offered factory reset and wipe cache(so i did), now it boots up perfectly every time like new, everything works! even gave me NZ language options etc, even though my build number didnt match any of those above, its still worked and even better it still shows all the correct information under about phone.
my build number was: WAS-LX2C706B170
