hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!
Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.
details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)
If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com
tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.
Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?
it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.
I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)
Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.
i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing
so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused
Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!
Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.
ok. let me ask google too xD
anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?
im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0
ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)
Hi,
Hope someone can help. I've tried to install a custom ROM today and I'm afraid I managed to brick my phone (Xperia P). Here is what i did:
I started out according to the Starters guide:
-Rooted phone
-Installed CWM
-Made a backup
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Installed JB Moonbreaker 3.5: at this point I was actually still following the starters guide, as in: wiping cache, wiping data,wiping dalvik cache and then installing from zip.
-The phone is currently stuck on the loading screen that comes after "Sony" and "Xperia" (the colorful swirling thingie)
-I can only shut it down by pressing and holding the power and volume up keys until it vibrates 3 times in a row.
-Starting with pressing volume down key repeatedly will not bring up CWM (also gets stuck on the same screen).
-Will also not fastboot anymore properly. (waiting for device for "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"; LED on device will not even light up as blue, goes to green instantly)
-In Device Manager I can see it as "Android" with a yellow exclamation mark.
-Sony PC Companion gives me the "My Sony Xperia P LT22 is connected" popup every 15 seconds but will actually not show the device as connected
I'm wondering if I can flash a stock rom on it to recover it or if there is anything else that can be done.
Thanks in advance

Keep the stock fw ready to be flashed using flashtool, enter into flashmode and flash it !

Can't seem to get it flashed from flashtool. I'm pressing the back button and connecting the USB and I'M just getting the same stuff on the phone, while flashtool is waiting for the phone.
I did manage to enter fastboot again though. Should I be flashing CWM from here (since I can't enter it). Or kernel then rom? I'm a bit lost.

Its volume down key and Plug in USB, to enter flashmode
Not back button.
Or flash a kernel by fastboot mode, enter CWM and install the ROM (assuming you have the zip file in the SD card )

No luck. I get a green LED and nothing happens. If I hold down volume down for really-really long then I'm back to the same boot animation.

yes green LED it is,
i hope you had the flashing process ready at the PC right ?
First make sure your phone is shut down. long press power+vol up until you feel 3 vibrations.
From there you can try fastboot mode or flash mode.

Alright done all that, still is the same. I've started to play with other USB ports and I noticed that when I get connected it tries installing the SEMC Flash device driver. It fails with "device unplugged" message exactly at the same time when when the Sony logo appears. Then it tries installing MTU USB Device as well. Reinstalled flashtool drivers and tried in different ports. It seems as if the phone is not staying in flashmode?

I recall I had that issue with wundows 7 at the beginning, what I did then was to boot my windows xp and managed to flash from there.
I have tried many things since, and if I am not mistaken it's installing flahtool drivers that fixed it finally.
I think there are 3 drivers there you need to install.

you can use emma flash tool by sony to flash your device once u get into flashboot mode(vol down den insert usb cable)
you will find it at sony developer site
did you tried to flash the rom over ICS, if yes then thats why your p got stuck at boot, coz i too got the same prob, when i tried to flash the JB moonbreaker over ICS, so what i did was pressed the power button and volume up button till 3 vibration, start flashtool and flash stock ICS firmware, but don't uncheck wipe data, otherwise you will get bootloop, after flashing is complete, now download and flash stock JB firmware, root your phone using doomlord's easy root kit or any other way you know, install cwm and now reboot into cwm flash JB stock or custom kernel and then the rom, thats it, just let me know if the prob is solved, thanks

Xperia P PAC rom jb 4.2.2 user
hit thanks if i helped
Thanks everyone for the input, issue resolved, kernel and rom flash was successful.
Stuck on boot
Guys I have the same problem.
I wasn't satisfied with the rom I put on my phone so I went on to put another one on it.
Flashed the kernel with fastboot, went into cwm, deleted system, cache etc. and went on to flash the rom, but there was no rom zip there, and I was sure I had put it. It was probably an error during the copy procces and it just stopped, I assumed it copied.
Well, now it is just stuck on the boot screen. I can get into fastboot and cwm, but I have nothing to flash.
I tried using the Sony recovery "Emma" but it just stays blank when I connect the phone..
Is there something else I can do?

The rom probably won't work if you delete /system so reflash stock JB first maybe this will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

Hi
I think im facing a very similar issue, i m very new to this and therefore didnt understand the solution. I did visit the developer site for emma, but can you tell me the exact thing to do after starting Emma. I mean, when do i connect the phone and how, what commands to give. Below is explanation of how i got into this and what all ive tried.
OK i ve been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Xperia P, i looked at a number of guidelines and doing things step by step.
Since im very new to this i downloaded a few Roms. I was following the guide "http://droidors.com/2014/07/08/update-xperia-p-lt22i-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/2/" and everything was going fine. I reached the step to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", i did that and then went on the next step to boot in CWM Recovery and install the zip rom and the Gapps. During the Zip Rom install i got status 7 error.
Now, i noticed that i might have flashed the wrong Rom so rechecked the guide and installed the correct Rom which is mentioned in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-slimkat-4-4-2-release-candidate-t2657795" . But now THE PROBLEM IS, AFTER I FLASHED THE INCORRECT IMG, MY PC IS NOT RECOGNISING THE XPERIA P SAYING IT DOESNOT RECOGNISE THE DRIVERS, therefore im not able to copy the ROM Zip on the SDcard, to then run it from CWM.
After sometime i tried the below
Ok, now i tried to flash the stock Rom through this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/ftf-firmware-xperia-p-generic-world-t2322163", through flashtool to bring my phone back to life. I installed the drivers as per instructions from drivers folder, but for some reason the pc is just not accepting. I did install through this exact method yesterday night and it worked perfectly.
Please suggest. I hope im asking at the right place.
Urgent help please
I forgot to mention, after I flashed the SlimKat Rom, and things went out of hand ( till this point i could see Slimkat logo at boot and could also go in CWM Recovery ), I tried to restore through Nandroid Backup i had done. As soon i selected the restore option and then the backup file, within 2-3 seconds the phone went off, and then on boot all i can do is see "SONY" on screen. Nothing else happens.
I ve tried all this on a different machine, with different wires and different USB port, no luck
Kindly advise, im stuck with no spare phone.
Solved i guess
OK Brother,
I downloaded EMMA and am currently downloading the service. It is very self explanatory. What was amazing is when i recognised my phone "What a sight "
Flashtools wasnt able to do that, so i guess the manufacture tools are damn important ( i wasnt exactly of the opinion before )
Also it is downloading Android 4.0.4 Build 6.1.1.b.1.54, which first came on the device, which also makes me think may be i should have tried that rather than trying to flash with the JB Rom all this while.
Man, i was scared. Thanks for this thread Bro.
God Bless
Will inform once the phone is booted up to confirm it worked.
Emma Worked
OK guys, I can confirm its EMMA "Flash tool for Xperia" fixed the problem for me. It installed 4.0.4 on it.
Also there is a pdf in the Download which guides about the usage.
Sigh
Correction- it installed the latest stock ROM jb
Basically, I tried Flashing my Z5C (Marshmallow 6.0.1) with CyanogenMod 13 and other files that I cant remember, things like boot.img, recovery.img..
It tells me to boot up my phone and I do it and it goes into Team Win Recovery Project. I cant get out of it by reboot, I have tried flashing roms and stuff using Flashtool. I'm really stuck, can anyone help me out? I'm getting 'processing of loader.sin finished with errors', who knows I'm probably doing it wrong though.
Any of you geniuses help me out? I'm in a bad position here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Phone has entered a black screen, and is failing to turn on. Literally nothing will turn it on. It has the green light to show it is charging, but just doesnt work besides pressing the home button and the volume up button to force shut down the phone.
I am really in need of ideas, can anybody help?
Many thanks
UPDATE: Phone inst charging via wall. I tried a portable charger and that has turned the phone on, but it is only staying on the boot screen "SONY" with the little word "XPERIA" at the bottom.
What is seriously going on? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
you have nothing loaded on the phone. you need to sit down and learn flashtool if you want to use a stock rom. if youre wanting root all you need to do is enter fastboot mode and flash twrp again, you can do that with adb or with flashtool, then flash xpower. you will get a full package with xpower.
Thanks for replying man.
At first I wanted to root, now I just want my phone back to normal, then I'll probably go over Flashtool and learn it all.
So what do you think is recommended?
Thanks
NEW UPDATE: I messed around with Flashtool and I flashed CyanogenMod13 onto it successfully. If I ever wanted to go back to normal android, android 6.0.1 marshmallow, how would I do so?
Many thanks
Hello everybody~
1. Xperia SP
2. BootLoop
3. Can't get further than Sony logo (it keep restarting so i assume I can't get to recovery screen)
4. USB debug is off
5. I dont have CWM, the last time i see my recovery screen is the cynagenmod recovery.
6. Now I had a problem turning it off...
I would hope to get the phone back alive, if not then at least retrive some of my files from the inner storage.
Worst case, I believe i can bring it to some techs who will break my phone to get the storage physically to do transfer. (not sure if that works??)
additional details:
I flashed a firmware which is by right the firmware for Xposed, xperia SP and that started the boot loop.
At first it can reach the screen of cynagenmod but it kept flashing for an hour, which i concluded that it is a bootloop.
I had wiped the cache partition as well as selecting the factory reset option in the cynagenmod recovery.
I flashed XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf using fasttool and from then on, bootloop had leveled up, and cant get pass Sony....
Thank you everyone!!
I forgot to thanks in advance~ hahaha
Flash stock ROM mate, always when that happens flash stock ROM. Did you even read before posting?
Just gonna cut straight to the point.
Wiped my phone to flash a new ROM, selected 'Clean to install new ROM' but instead of then flashing a zip file, i went to Reboot Recovery.
I then hit No, thinking it would take me back to the main menu, but instead it continued to restart, and now it gets stuck on the Sony logo.
I've tried flashing completely stock ROMs and also this one which, those with similar issues has said worked for them, however nothing appears to be working for me.
It does seem to flash successfully, no error messages that i saw in Flashtool, but upon booting up it still get stuck at the Sony logo. Either just Sony (older ROMs) or Sony with Xperia at the bottom (newer ROMs), so i guess the ROM is installing fine, but there's something else that isn't?
The only way to shut down is holding down Power + Vol Up, and there is no LED light (green, purple, red) to notify of anything.
And because of this I no longer have recovery either, where I could just flash a new zipped ROM and be on my merry way.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
Ok so I hate when this happens, where I figure it out a few mins after I'm made a post (after stuffing around for several hours already).
I've just tried flashing several different ROMs again to no avail, tried once more and checked the two boxes in the Wipe options, seemed to take A LOT longer to flash, but it's now working fine
flash any ftf or chech here
