Hi guys. I unsuccessfully tried to flash a custom Rom and stuck my phone to Sony Ericsson logo. I also couldn't boot in CWM so I flashed from flash tool the stock firmware, rooted it, installed CWM on it and restored from the backup I had previously made with CWM before trying to flash custom Rom. I also wiped all data and caches and formatted system partition before restoring. The restore completed successfully buti Have one problem. When I try to connect to a WiFi network it reaches up to the point of getting IP address, and then disconnects. Why did this happen and how can I fix it without losing my restore?? I also noticed that if I set the IP address manually it connects normally. The automatic option won't work. Thanks

I've tried to flash my rom to CM7 but something went wrong with the procedure because I am stuck on the android boot screen (Android logo lightning, it gets stuck for a while and then the letters continue flashing, cycling).
I followed the normal procedure: root, installed custom recovery, I made a backup with nandroid (normal one, which I copied to my computer), wiped data+cache (both caches) and I tried to flash from SD. Update went as normal but I got stuck in this boot screen.
After trying 2 or 3 times this same procedure and being unable to move on, I tried to recover my backup using nandroid: it said it was unable to recover and to do it from adb; adb says that it's unable to mount my sdcard.
From what I've read, I would need to repartition my card.. I chose that option in the recovery; still unable to recover my backup.
I figured that it would not be too bad if I lost my data, so after giving up on CM7 I gave up on recovering my data as well.. the problem is that even after wiping data and cache I'm still stuck in this same boot screen.
Any idea?
I can access recovery and adb so this has to have a solution..
I managed to boot after formatting /system.
The device is the LG LU6200 (gfs)
device was rooted and on LU6200_162_CN_Yang_0704 ROM. '(ICS)
Today, the gf was prompted to update/upgrade system by LG and she chose to do so after feeling harassed by the update notices. now the devices goes directly into CWM after booting from LG screen (it won't load normally). She tried restoring from zip, but it has no effect; it reboots into CWM after the bootup page. We restore using every backup file available, tried wiping cache, data, and dalvik, then restoring, tried going into advanced restore and restoring boot (presumably the boot.img), tried re-installing the ROM, but to no avail.
I'm guessin the official update clashed with the bootloader...?
also worth mentioning, before installing CWM, Power+Vol up usually brought up the restore factory screen. Afterwards, it went into CWM.
I'm planning on re-flashing v142 .kdz with the upgrading tool on Sunday since I don't see her until then, but could use any advice/suggestions in the meanwhile.
thanks!
Hi there,
Today I received my Xperia Tablet Z and sure enough, the first thing I did was flash a custom Rom
But my device wouldn't boot up anymore...
Basically I unlocked the bootloader via Sony's key, flashed a boot.img via fastboot and then flashed the Rom via the recovery.
All I got was a bootloop - regardless of which custom Rom I used (AOKP, Cyanogen stable, Cyanogen nightly, Cyanogen unofficial, ...)
I tried doing a factory reset but to no avail.
I manually checked for each delete / wipe option in the recovery, but the device simply would not boot further than the boot animation.
However, after some time I stumbled across a Rom that contained the TWRP recovery instead of CWM.
And this one asked me for a password when I booted.
"A password? What for?!"
Well, simply cancelling the request works.
But it seems that my whole problem had to do with that password request
As it turns out, the data partition was encrypted would not let me access it.
For some reason unknown to me, it was not wiped in CWM (some error popped up when trying to format /data).
TWRP allows for doing a format on this one ("full wipe" if my memory does not fool me) and voila - the tablet would boot!
So to sum it up:
After unlocking the tablet, there might still be an encrypted /data that can't be accessed by any custom Rom.
Wiping this /data solves the problem - and can be done via TWRP.
I just banged my head on that issue for 5 straight hours - downloading new custom roms, looking for similar bootloops, ...
Maybe this information will help someone

Hi guys, I got a very strange problem. When I start it, it just show the recovery but when I try to wipe the /data it just get stucked!
I tried flashing the stock firmware, and deleting dalvik-cache (here happen the same with data). I also tried the stupid idea of flashing another kernel, but nothing change. What should I do?
Edit: I recently discovered that I can reboot the phone with CWM but not with the stock recovery
hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
