[SOLVED] No OS installed, flash failed - Help Please - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi at all, i'm italian (sorry for my english) and i've a very big problem.
I've xperia mini. I installed CM 9.1 and mesa hybrid kernel 4.4. I was wrong to enter the unlock pattern screen, and after the verification code google (never finished) the phone went into bootloop. In an attempt to fix the situation I did a wipe of the system and now I have no OS installed and when I turn off the system from recovery (that works) written out "E: Unable to locate page (install." I tried to flash the CM from sd but it gave me error Session 7, then following the advice here on xda I worked around the problem but the rom does not install the same, always says Failed and remains on Updating Partition ...
What can I do? You can send in the warranty?
Thank you in advance if you can help me. Hello.

Ok, i flashed stock last ics with flashtool and it works! I obtained root access with e-root one click, and installed recovery with xparts but CM give me always the same error... why?!

Hmmm....first of all, wipe system will always make your phone in bootloop...your should factory reset not wipe system...
second, since you already use custom kernel before this, then why do you need to go so much trouble install CWM using xparts? jst flash custom kernel and you will have per-rooted phone and built-in CWM recovery....

Yeah, you're right but i don't know if this kernel works with stock. Kernel is [KERNEL][ALL '11 MDPI] MESA Hybrid v4.4 for CM9/CM10/CM10.1 [11 APR 2013].
How can i solve my problem?

[Q] Can't install jellybam 3.0.0

I am trying to install the jellybam 3.0.0 rom and am having no luck. I tried just following inst and that didn't work after about 45 sec the android guy fell over and a red triangle popped up. Then I saw you might have to change to siyah 4.3.3 so I downloaded the zip without micswap and flashed it after the Jellybam rom. Still no luck the rom loaded, but when I rebooted the ics symbol showed up then phone turned of. Can someone tell me how to get this to work. I have the ported version and works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks for all you guys and gals do your awsome.

I had the same error....i guess you must be getting a "status 7" error while flashing jellybam.....
I used to run SHOstock3 rom v1.4, and i got the same error while flashing jellybam, so i follwed the method given by one of the experts...
1. I did a factory reset, and flashed jellybam, after which i got a status 7 error...
2. I restored the rom via CWM
3. Flashed siyah v3.4.2 with micswap..
4. since that was siyah ics, i could not use my phone, but i was able to flash jellybam over it.....
5. Im running Jellybam without any bugs...
So basically, you can do a full wipe, flash siyah, and then flash J'bam......else use an older version of siyah like i did....Hope u r problem is solved....
Thanks

I solved it by installing a new kernel.

[Q] CWM Recovery Help

Hello there,
I have recently attempted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia U . I rooted using bin4ry , then unlocked bootloader. Everything was fine up to that point. Then I tried to use RecoverX to install CWM. The tool said it was a success, but device could not boot into recovery.It looked like the tool did nothing. I then found a custom kernel by AOKP that had CWM Recovery in it. I flashed and got recovery , but stuck in bootloop. I recovered from this by flashing B.10 stock firmware on my Xperia U using flashtools. I am now looking for ways to install CWM recovery safely.
What's the best way to install CWM in my current situation?
What caused the bootloop I experienced(out of curiosity)?

AOKP is not stock rom..
so its kernel is also not based n stok rom...thats why you got bootloop...
just download kernel which is based on sock rom like trancsend kernek...or phantom...
if you have jb then experimenatal kernel will be best....
and use flashtool to flash kernel...it is the easiest way to flash kernel..
all this kernels are prerooted and has cwm 6.x.x recovery.....
you will get this kernels in devlopment section....
Thank you!
Got it working!
I started off by installing transcendence kernel for stock ROMs. That went flawlessly and so I was presented with CWM recovery(which I started by repeatedly pressing Vol- when the transcendence logo comes up). Went to look for a ROM and found MIUI v4 for Xperia U, followed the instructions and flashed with CWM recovery.Very beautiful ROM. I got all my files from the Xperia U Development section.
Thanks for your help and a big thank you to the developers who make this possible. highfive:

Most kernels nowadays have light notification or vibration or borh for the time you need to press the volume button for cwn, if yours does you only need to press it once within 3 seconds.

[Q] CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL NiGHTLY - Error status 7

------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works

I don't think so. I installed cm12 without gapps worked fine. But still. Try every option u can to restore your phone. Maybe u need to flash gapps for newer version of cm12. Let us know if anything worked for you. Your info coold help others. Good luck mate.

may be the downloaded file is corrupted while it was downloaded, happened to me also. download the file again and do a 'clean' installation.
flashing gapps have no connection whatsoever with rom installation. :good:
Install CM11, boot it up once, then install CM12+gapps without wiping.

Flashing a ROM without gapps will not cause any bootloop issue
how ever you can try these two :
1. If you are using the 27th March build, don't use that, there's some problem with that, if you clean flash that zip, it ll result into a bootloop, use the 28th March build instead
2. If you are still facing a bootloop, make sure that you are using the TWRP 2.8.5 version

Hi, first of all, download the latest build, do a clean flash of all partitions, data, system, cache & dalvik, if you don't wanna loose your data make a backup and restore it only when you have booted your device at least once to make sure it boots, and as recommendation flash a custom kernel after verifying the boot, tell us how it goes Luck!
I tried all the options. I installed the latest build. I cleared cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, etc. But no use its always gets the same situation. Due to the bootloop the device was not detected in Pc so I transferred the cm12 zip to external so card and tried installing it from their. Could dis be a problem?? ? This time I also installed gapps. Please help I want my device back:crying:

This you can do if you have installed soak test via putting it in your sd card or installed via OTA(ie if you have updated your bootloader) and make sure drivers are installed
Hope it helped
I believe I have the same problem. I tried going from stock 4.4.4 to cm12. Tested april 1st and april 2nd builds and I always get stuck in boot screen animation for nearly one hour.
Whenever I install the rom I get the following message "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system". I used sideload and the external SD.
Will it brick if I try installing CM11 now after a wipe? Will it be considered a downgrade (even if I never properly booted)?
Sorry if it seems I'm hijacking this thread, but I believe we both have the same problem. I necessary I'll create another topic.
Thanks

no, you can flash cm11, provided you have never flashed the soak test zip anytime before
and about the bootloop, try using the previous version of TWRP, many people have stated that when they tried flashing with the previous version of TWRP it didn't result into bootloop
Hit Thanks if that was helpful
Quick update, with a solution.
Indeed I changed the recovery for TWRP and chose to clean the system in addition to cache, data and dalvik. After that I installed CM12 through sideload and this time it worked fine. Even if I still got the message "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system".
Hope this helps OP as well!
Hi

Hi,
I facing the same issue. Roms tested:
cm-12.1-20150411-UNOFFICIAL-condor.zip
cm-12.1-20150412-ROBBIEL811-UBER4.8-condor.zip

All combinations fail to boot. Tested in CWM with sideload and SD, format all, and nothing.
After all test, still can't boot.
BTW, Bootloader xt1021 5009. Is there any newer version ?
(My MotoG bootloader has to be upgraded to run latest versions)
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
The last option is recover it from paperweight; downgrade to 4.4.4 (RETESALL_XT1021_4.4.4_KXC21.5-40_cid7_CFC.xml.zip)
In fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
After all, is working again, in stock rom.
