Hello guys,
as a last resort I turn to you for help. Have been searching for the answer for the last 2 days. I am running CWM-based Recovery v.6.0.1.1 and have a rooted x10 together with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed the recovery without any problems and installed miui v4 but an older file which was very unstable (without any problems). Then I decided to install the newer version so i downloaded it, placed it on my sdcard and in the same recovery flashed rom. Unfortunately I had my usb cable plugged in all the time (during installation). Installation got stuck in the middle and nothing could be done so i removed the battery and started the phone again (this time without the usb cable). When I tried to reinstall that rom again it gave me status 7 error installation aborted, assert failed:getprop,error in sdcard and things like that. So I tried the ROM which had already worked on my phone but received exactly the same message. What is more usb storage mounting in the recovery doesnt work anymore (but it already worked!). Now the problem is that I don't have any system installed and when i try to flash the recovery again, flashtool does not recognize my phone (so does windows) and so it leads me nowhere. I think this is definitely problem with the recovery, after the failed attempt to install rom when i had to remove the battery it does not behave normally. Is there any way that I can maybe install another recovery from .zip - i do not even know whether it will install or just sends me another error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When I want to flash .tft file and i go to flash mode it does not recognize my phone in windows even though I have installed all the necessary drivers. It starts to flash but then says flashing aborted (this did not happen before, i could flash without any problems). Another problem is that i do not have any rom installed right now so i cannot even switch debugging on and if i remember right, i left debugging off in my previous rom.
Use Sony Update Service. Download from Sony site and install on PC. Follow the instruction, and this will reflash Stock Rom and Kernel (GB 2.3.3). Then, with latest Flashtool, first Root phone again, then flash whatever you want (custom kernels, roms..). You don't need to unlock bootloader again. It remains unlocked.

Hello, my P500 is not detectable any more by any computer.
The usb charging is working but cannot be detected as a hardware.
I had this problem since I bought the phone. Once in a while my Optimus One was not detected by my computer, but I though is a driver related problem. Now is a permanent problem, no matter I do I cannot connect the phone to the computer. I made some research on the internet, inlcuding this forum a lot, and I found that is a hardware problem and I must return it to warranty!
Here comes my second problem:
I rooted the phone. I need to remove any trace of rooting to return it to warranty, but how?
My phone has a 2.3.3 version of Android and I rooted with the following method (the only one has worked for me): I downloaded su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and install it using clockwork mode -> Install zip function! After that a SUPERUSER icon apeared on my applications but not a removal possibility!
I tried to delete de apk file using Root Explorer, but it says that is a protected program!
Is there any way to install a new firmware from the SD card? I have clockwork recovery instaled on the phone. Is there any way I can write a firmware from SD with any recovery software? How?
If is not possible, how can I remove the Superuser and make it ready to send it back to warranty?
Thanks!
Ok, I found a way to remove Superuser. I installed GingerBreak and choose the Unroot option! Is simple, but is strange because my phone cannot be rooted with this software, only unrooted!
However I ended up with another problem! How do I remove Clockwork mode? I tried to flash some "so-called" recovery.img for my phone but not a chance!
I rooted back my phone to have a better control. Any idea on how do I remove clockwork mod? I don't have a back-up image of my original ROM or something.
i think you can just flash back stock recovery, which should be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
Well I tried the link above before, but is not working. When I power up the phone pressing Home+Volume down is still loading cloackwork recovery 3.1.0.0
I downloaded the img from the link above, writen with the write zip from clockwork mode, but still not working.
What should I do?
Flash Kdz file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
Man I cannot flash KDZ with any computer! I told you, my phone cannot be connected to any computer. My computer cannot see the phone and install the drivers! I checked on 3 computers! I need a KDZ install from SD Card, is such thing possible?

I had this problem once to. On my HTC Flyer, nothing I could do to recognize the phone. I had to ditch the HTC Driver and tried every copy of the android drive I could find on XDA. I will see if I can find the file that worked for me. But in the interim you may want to try a few.
BTW I am not an expert. This worked for me and it sounds like the same situation to me. :fingers-crossed:
Here's a question: where'd you get the recovery? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, i don't see your device as supported. Also, i believe they're called universal naked drivers, that may be of help.

so hopefully you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
I am not a developer or anything & havent read many forums...but while playing with myTouch I did get stuck a few times.
Somethings I cant point out if u wanna try as a layman:
1. can u mount your sd card through recovery?
2. if you can than just pick another rom for your device and put it onto your sd card
3. wipe data & partition, wipe cache, delete davlik. some devices work ONLY with wipe script (for my friend only the wipe script worked)
4. dont use odin. go to cwm recovery & install zip from sd card & choose the rom (the 1 from step 2).
I think that should get u out safely....hope it helps
@bodh
i actually installed a cwm 5 version
maybe thats the cause of the whole problem
@indiankarmas
i did install multiple roms from the sd card, first cm9 then stock rom
but it doesnt really work
how i fixed the problem:
when i flashed cm9 and used the bootloader with odin to pass the recovery mode my phone booted the stock os
installing from the external sd didnt work, i just wiped my phone for nothing
it booted the stock os, i didnt want this but this made my pc recognize my phone
so i transferred the rom and gapps in the internal sd
got back to recovery mode and installed from internal sd
and used the bootloader again to pass the recovery mode
again, i appreciate you guys trying to help me out
Hello
Today I've tried to unlock my bootloader of LG Optimus L9 (P760) and install a custom ROM. I managed to unlock the bootloader after a few hours (Windows 8.1 sucks in this and do it on Windows 7 netbook is even more harder) and install the CWM. Then I wanted to install CM11, but the installation failed. I didn't realize that I need special version of CWM for this.
Well, I wanted to enter fastboot again a flash CWM again, but I couldn't boot, because the system was now erased. I couldn't install stock ROM, because phone wouldn't connect, so I grabbed older CM9 and succesfully installed it through CWM.
Problem is, that even from there, I can't flash CWM (flash_image recovery recovery.img in terminal doesn't work - shows error "error scanning partitions failed with error -1" - yet another problem no one can solve). And also, phone won't connect to my PC properly, because there is no LG Software mode in CM. Because of that, I don't see the device in adb and can't reboot it into fastboot. I tried to do it via wi-fi adb, which however only reboots phone and doesn't put it into fastboot mode.
What should I do? I can't install stock ROM, which would help (LG update tool doesn't recognize phone now and any driver I tried for "LGE U2 Device" didn't work... If it was available as a rar installer for CWM, everything would be OK again), I can't reboot it into fastmode, I can't flash CWM in any other way and I'm stuck with CM9, which I hate.
I don't understand why there is no other way, how to get to fastboot. Every other LG Optimus has a key shortcut (vol -, power), except L models and that sucks... I'm completly desperate.

Fastboot on these devices is a pain... Make sure you have installed the fastboot drivers twice.
Try flashing the recovery.img with Flashify (root) app from the play store.

Thank you for your answer I got into fastboot afterall by using app named "Rebooter (fast reboot)". It allows to reboot phone and make it go immidiately to fastboot. So great, now I could rewrite the CWM and install ROM.
Unfortunately other problems appeared. I'm using the right version of CWM for installing KitKat Android ROMs (and I've tried others), but I'm still unsuccesful in booting them. Instalation goes OK (ROM + gapps), but booting then is pain in the ***. I can wipe dalvik, cache, system... and return the phone to factory settings through CWM as I want, but every ROM gets stuck everytime on the boot.
At first, it takes at least 15 minutes, until LG logo disappears and the animation of booting starts. I left all ROMs to boot for an hour. But it seems I'm without a chance. Did anybode have the same problem as me?
BTW: This is my 6th smartphone into which I installed alternative ROM. I swear, that this is the hardest piece of crap for installing those, I have ever seen
Edit: I tried other kernels, also without success. It's strange, that I can install only CM9 and PACman ROMs. CM11, Miui, Mokee - no chance

Nope. That was back when I had bad CWM installed. This one is however OK and install goes absolutely right. Right now I'm pretty sure, that problem isn't in kernel, cause I tried every I could find...

If I remember correctly I think the cwm for cm11 has a bug that doesn't wipe dalviks. So flash ROM with the cwm for cm11 then restore the other recovery to wipe data. Or use something like rm -rf /data/* through terminal adb and reboot.
Make sure you mount the data partition first if you use adb and terminal.

I've never done this before and I screwed up the installation.
I took a stock Xperia P. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader. I then flashed the kernel from cm11.0-79-nypon, but it doesn't have TWRP. Now I'm stuck in boot with no recovery menu to finish the install. Is there a version of this kernel with TWRP included that I could flash, or is there another way I can fix the phone? I tried pushing a new rom onto the phone's internal memory using a guide, but my computer doesn't recognize it anymore through USB. Reinstalling the drivers did not help this.

Press the power button repeatedly while booting.
I am such an idiot. I was pressing volume up because that's what the other menus use. Thanks so much.
It seems a bit trendy to mess with the recovery, resulting in a brick or bootloop.
Just making a new thread cause my case is a bit different.
I was on Existenz 4.7.0 when I decided to flash 5.0.
Wasn't a clean install, resulted in some app fc'ing and restarting, so i went back to trwp and used my backup, keeping in mind to come back and make a clean install when I can take the time it needs.
Made a few backups today and wanted to start the trwp backup when I realised that I wasn't able to enter recovery.
Installed the trwp app, which wasn't able to reflash the recovery.
So I read another posting and I decided to delete the chargemon and rename the chargemon.stock, but that wasn't that smart, I decided later.
So back home I downloaded the dual recovery software from NUT's website to totally reinstall the recovery. After some ADB trouble I managed to get everything running, the batch file installed the recovery, everything looked pretty, at the end of the process the Z2 rebootet and e voila, I'm stuck in bootloop, clueless.
When I power the phone you can feel the first small vibration, then the Sony logo appears, stays, and it reboots.
Reset Button, powering on and holding Volume up isn't doing anything, so is Volume down.
What can I Do?
I know I made a few mistakes, but help is still needed!
Bro, Please read carefully before installing recoveries.
Nut's Recovery is NOT for Marshmallow. and it will cause bootloop and same problem you encounter here.
Only Solution is to flash via flashtool and re-root.(personally i would flash a kitkat .ftf then root it with any of the available methods. you can try kingroot it is the easiest) after that install Nut's recovery and flash your MM rom which will come with its own working recovery.
Oh, ok, so thats the cause. Didn't know that, shame on me.
So Existenz 5 messed up my recovery and maybe the silly try of reflashing killed it totally or just the bootloader.
So I will try to setup a Win7 PC and setup flash tool properly (didn't seem to work on win10)
Thanks for that finger point I the right direction
Flashtool works on windows 10 no problem for me.
Just install the right drivers and install 0.9.18.6 version of flashtool and try different drivers it shall work
Will do, thanks a lot. Seems to me that I had a 4.7 Existenz Rom with bootloader/recovery from MM, which I destroyed.
Is it possible to reflash the old bootloader? Or will flash tool spare my datas on internal SD card?
why to flash a boot loader?? is your device unlocked bootloader??
It's locked.
So it can't be a broken bootloader?
So it's just because the recovery is messed up?

yes bro don't worry.
It seems that you are new to sony or you re coming from samsung or any other device with recovery partition.
By default, Sony doesn't have a recovery partition like in samsung. that is why developers made the recovery a part of the system (your ROM) the chargemon files are the one responsible for the recovery. so when you install a recovery it is like you are installing a system application which can be messed up if it is not compatible with your rom version.
PS:Be carefull never wipe the system partition from recovery and restart your phone before installing a new rom because if you restart without having installed your rom your phone won't have a recovery(part of the rom) neither a system----> Bootloop and need to reflash.
you can unlock your bootloader and make a recovery partition and install aosp roms. but on sony once you unlock your bootloader you will loose a lots of features and camera enhancements. so better keep it Locked and use stock based roms like existenz and MIUI roms which are stock based.
I hope i have been able to clarify all
OK, makes sense.
Seems like I'm still pretty new to Sony. Came from Samsung last December, just got enough knowledge to flash and improvise, quick and dirty.
So if I could get hands on my old chargemon file, (from when I didn't tried to install Existenz 5) I may get the Z2 running again?
Of course a pretty clean install afterwards.
Just asking, cause of backup reasons
Edit: I knew that unlocking the BL has a few disadvantages. I'm happy with Existenz but now I know a few things more, thanks michel090428
it is very difficult now even if you have the chargemon file. i don't know what could be messed up with the system. go for a clean flash it is the most safe way to do it.
Read this guide if you want a help with flashing it is very easy and detailed. and remember it is better to flash kitkat .ftf as it is easily rootable.
http://www.gizmobolt.com/2015/04/09...z3-23-1-a-0-690-ftf-using-flashtool-manually/
Hey folks, I'm back again!
Managed to setup a Win7 PC, installed the correct drivers, setup Flashtool, found correct ftf file and so on.
Problem is that I'm only able to get into fastboot mode with my Z2, for me it seems like Flashtool won't work when the device is only in fastboot mode.
What can I do?
why you can't start your device with flashmode?
You need to shutdown the device then when flashtool ask you to start in flash mode you press volume down(keep pressed then you plug in USB cable and it should start in flash mode directly.
have you tried to follow the guide i posted in the first page? where are you stuck? which step?

Was a bit tricky, did the 'vol down + plug in' thing several times and it worked suddenly, flashtool flashed the ftf. Now it's FCing several tasks while it would do the android setup. Trying to flash a 4.4.2 ROM now, thanks for patience and help, appreciated this!

You re Welcome Bro,
Concerning the FC You need to check the WIPE DATA option in flashtool i think it will solve the FC's
I'm with 23.1.A.1.28 now and it's fine. Just need to get root, there should be an exploit but it's not working for me, reasons unknown. Going to have a look at it later. Want to flash Existenz, that's the goal.
Bro , Use KINGROOT it is able to root .28 firmware.
there is a thread here for kingroot.
