[Q] stuck in boot loop after flashing rom - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Ok guys, I'm relatively new here. Been reading a lot, but never posted.
So today I tried to flash my Xperia S with flashtool.
Downloaded CM10 (FXP144), copied the zip file to the phone. etc etc.
fastboot works, but when I'm in CMW recovery and try to install the zip file (FXP144-cm-10-20121026-unofficial-anzu.zip) it fails..
E:error in /sdcard/...zip (status 7) installation abborted.
This means my phone is completely stuck.
What do I have to do?
Been searching and reading the forums for more than 3 hours now, can't find a solution...

Hello,
Think you should post this in Q and A section. I'm not sure of the codename for the Xperia s. But I'm quite sure it's not 'anzu'. Make sure you download the right zip for the device you're flashing to.
Nozomi maybe?
Hit thanks if helped.
Cheers,
Lunar.

If you can get into cwm then I presume you can download the right file to a PC, and transfer it to your phone by going to the mounts and storage menu in cwm and mounting mass storage?
You should be able to flash the correct file in cwm?
Hit thanks if helped.

There maybe an option in cwm mounts and storage menu. Mount sdcard, or USB mass storage or something along them lines. Then you can connect phone to PC via USB cable.

Hello Guys!
I have a little bit the same problem .
Any luck ?

Look for a stock rom that's a .ftf extension.
Download flashtools.
Reboot in flashboot (Vol down + power)
Flash the ftf file.
Should (hopefully) work?
Edit: Try looking for an ICS rom. The stock ones are kind of every where. GB ones are a lot harder to find.

And i can't get to the recovery mode too :/
Any help?

EDIT: After few try i rescue my phone using SUS

flash stock rom for sola using flashtool, if u dont see the firmware stock for sola.. do it manually, copy ftf file and go to flashtool folder (mostly located at C then open and find folder named firmware then paste the stock ftf file. then flash it using flashtool.

You are right. But, that's universal. When you just need to go back to the stock or if have had completely messed up with a ROM.
download a flashtool and re-flash it!

Installed custom rom, lost root and cant flash ftf image of any rom.

Hi guys,
I am stuck in a very bad sitituation. I have installed a custom rom, but after some time I came to know I have lost root access. My phone's BLlocked. So cannot install cmw recovery without root. I tried flashing official Sony Xperia sk17i 4.1.b.587 .ftf file. But I am getting error as FLASHING ABORTED and the device restarts. I am attaching the flasboot screenshot. Please help me flash the stock rom, then I will be able to again gain root access.
Thank You.

Download ftf from here http://www.mediafire.com/?s166qsg8qaaxc43, place it into firmwares folder(delete all inside the folder before). Flash in flashtools, then flash the firmware that you want
Have you tried to repair it via PC Companion or SEUS?
Well I tried flashing more than 5 times via different ftf file, getting the same error.

Reinstall flashtool and try (don't forget to install flashtool drivers) if the problem still persists I would recommend installing flashtool and it's drivers to another computer and flash from it. It should definitely work.
Click thanks if I helped you!

Try this... Don't connect your mobile first... Choose ftf in flashtool... It will prepare files for flashing.. Then will ask to connect your mobile.. Plug your device in flashmode.. Should work..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Yes, do it like rachit.rc96 said, don't connect the mobile first :good:
If this doesn't work, check the box with "no final verification" when you select the firmware and try it again. But if you do this, be sure that this is the right ftf for your device

[Q] xperia u : no rom installed with no backup

Hello
I am currently in a big problem. I just accidently wiped all my data. I didn't backup and cwm is not installing aokp rom. The boot screen only stucks to "Free Xperia Project" Logo and does nothing else.
I tried flashing ics firmwire again but it failed. I also tried pushing cyanogenmod rom to my sd card my it keep on giving no device error.
I dont know what to do now. Simply cant even explain it properly. Can someone help me please.
Did you try repair with SUS or PCC?
If you can still enter CWM or you even get a boot logo then your ok, it will be an easy fix.
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
PCC and SUS are not able to detect XPU because XPU is not able to connect to pc.
Yes I can enter CWM and see boot logo.

Enter cwm, connect the phone to the pc, open something like "mounts and storage">"mount usb storage" in recovery.
Copy the rom that you want to flash from pc on your internal memory, unmount usb storage and flash the rom :fingers-crossed:
Can you connect in flashmode?If so,flash stock ftf file.

3) The flashtool shall work now and wait it to load finish...

After you root, download Root Checker from play store to check your root access, once you root, you will automatically gain superuser app....

You can always use Sony SEUS,to return your phone to as it originally was before. (Assuming that you are on Locked Bootloader)
After that,you can root again and then install CWM !!

Double check the stock ROM file you are using with flashtool is not corrupt, also I believe your problem is related to the fact that the Xperia M is not supported by flashtool, the full list of devices flashtool supports can be found here. That being said I would recommend trying to flash the stock ROM you made from the ftf in CWMR to try and take you back to the stock setup. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.
