I've been trying to find help for this problem and i just can't seem to find anything that actually works. I made an account for this website just so i could maybe get some help.
Well here's the story:
I tried to get CyanogenMod for my HTC One X+ device. I rooted my phone successfully but had a problem with installing CM. The installation got aborted everytime i tried to do so. The instructions said that i should flash boot.img so that's what i did. Well... then this problem happened The phone is stuck in the HTC logo when i try to power it up. I can access bootloader and clockworkmod recovery. I've tried almost EVERYTHING and it's still not working.
To be honest, i don't care about getting CyanogenMod to work anymore. I just want my phone working. Any suggestions what to do?
Just download a diffrent custom rom and install that then. Make sure to flash the boot.img for whatever rom you install...
As for your issue with cyanogen, are you installing the right version for your model of device? The HOX+ comes in two flavours. International, and the AT&T version (North America). The roms are not compatible, so AT&T roms wont work with internation devices and vice versa.

Wait, won't the AT&T Roms work on international but the "radio" wont be compatible? (A.K.A no signal/wifi..etc) ?
As for the main topic, I experienced this issue the first couple of times I flashed a custom rom but After that I just knew the process.
First you must make sure you factory wipe (Everything except "internal SD card" )
Then you flash the rom (Install zip file) using CWM
Then you wipe cache
Then you flash the boot.img using the PC's fastboot function.
However what do you mean by "the installation got aborted" ? Does it say "Failed" in red ? Or does it say "successful" or what?
If it says "Failed" in red , I have this issue with "zip md5 verification" when installing sense based rom on TWRP , so when I uncheck that box (I know that it should be enabled just to be sure the rom is correct..etc) and once its unchecked the rom installs fine. Maybe you have a similar issue?
Try redownloading the ROM again.
If it still fails as AndroHero said, try a different rom (maybe AOSP, AOSP + , AOKP ..etc.)
Best of luck mate Hope it works fine

No that was the case with previous devices that had the same hardware using different radio frequencies. But as the AT&T version uses a dedicated Qualcomm radio chip, the two devices need diffrent kernels...
It's like when we used to have GSM/CDMA devices, there not compatible...

Hi there i had the similar issue of bootloop on my At&t HTC One + , it has to do with boot.img that is the kernel. make sure u flash it after installing the rom. Try downloading other roms as well, Viper rom for international is also good. If you wipe everything from your phone , dont worry, goto recovery, TWRP and goto sideload option, and then through command prompt sideload your rom that you downloaded, install rom and then flash kernel boot.img. Enjoy.
I think i may have encountered another problem.
The bootloader says that the battery level is too low for flash even though i tried charging the battery last night. I'm not even sure if the battery is charging at all when i try to do so.
(Also, whenever the phone is turned off and is connected to a USB (either computer or for charging) it turns on automatically. When it's connected to a computer, it's impossible to turn off and when it's "charging" it turns on by itself every few hours.)
I need a higher battery level to flash stuff. What should i do?

First of all turn the phone completely off, meaning without booting to bootloader.
Put the phone into the charger over night, make sure its charging (you will find the red indicator lights up at the top of the phone)
If it boots up, hold down the power button until the screen turns totally black and make sure it doesn't "reboot" when you do that.
If you can't turn your phone totally off then you don't have any solution but to let it charge with the display is on. I know its bad for your phone but if you fail to turn it off, just let the screen on for a 4 hours (while you are awake) , should have the battery charged over 70% with the display on (Since the phone charges to 100% with screen off in 90 minutes).
But i think if you time it right you can just close it even while it charges.

It just keeps turning on if i use the power button to turn it off. I have to use the bootloader to turn it off.
Guess i'll have to charge it with screen on...

Wait cant you do that? Open bootloader (hold down volume down while trying to boot up the phone) and go to "Fastboot" then "Power down" .. It should turn off

Guess what!?
That custom recovery me allowed me to install cyanogenmod!!!! I got it to work! YEEAAH!
Seems like the problem was in Clockworkmod recovery because it didn't allow me to install CM.
Thanks dude! And thanks everyone who tried helping me out.

well jama96 you need to go in your display settings and set the back light turnoff timer, while on charge and while on battery i suppose that would solve ur problem.

Hi Ghand0ur,
I have an HOX+. I tried to install Cyanogenmod on it through CWM recovery. I ended up with the same problem as you (word to word). I first tried to install Cyanogen trough CWM but it gave me the same 'Error 7' message as posted by you, so then i installed boot.img file from PC using fastboot option. Since then my device it stuck in bootloop.
fastboot and CWM recovery still work (same as you) but the phone doesnt boot up.
Can u tell me how you finally managed to flash Cyanogen on your device?
Also, you mentioned that the problem was in CWM recovery. Which recovery did u use to flash Cyanogen (CWM or TWRP).
Did u install the boot.img first or the ROM.zip file first?

hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything
>>>>next time try to look up a guide on how to get into cwm recovery<<<<

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?

Hello all,
I was already in the possesion of a SGII that has been rooted and flashed before. I came from Hyperdroid Androidmeda with Android version 2.3.6. This morning i took the guess it was a nice day to flash a rom with ICS Android 4.0.x. My choice was the rom Resurrection Remix ics v2.5.2.
I followed the exact instructions to Wipe Data, Dalvic Cache and Wipe Cache partitions before i flashed the rom. This went well, at this moment i didn't get any errors or bugs i.e. At the moment my SGII was booted i discoverd the rom a bit. And i came to the conclusion my camera was not working,eve as my outgoing calls. When i called somebody it rang barely one tone before my phone shutted itself down and rebooted. When i get an incoming call i couldn't see the Green answering button neither i saw the red denial button. So i this was just a guess.
But the main problem: I rebooted my phone manually and then he just shut down. I couldn't get him on anymore. On no circumstance it is possible for me to get my phone on. Battery in and out has no effect. Even connecting my phone with an usb cable with the PC gave no reaction. When i connected it to the charger i saw a blink of the loading battery but after a couple seconds my phone went off. And i dont get him on anymore.
What is wrong, what can i do to solve this?
Enter Download mode and check if Odin sees the phone.
Dude..odin pc is your last hope..never mind..it should work...try flashing a rom from there...

It's clear you don't know how to use download mode. How did you flash your first ROM or root in the first place???
While in this mode, it is expecting you to connect the phone to a computer and use a flashing tool (Odin/Heimdall/etc) to install software to the device.
You can reboot just by holding the power button down for about 10 seconds.

The first rom i flashed was with CWM. It was quite easy and i rooted it more than half a year ago that was not that hard to. This is the third rom i flashed and now it all gets wrong.
I already had my connection between phone and computer but it doesn't respond any further.
At this moment i dont even get him in download/recovery mode anymore. Everytime i try it shows a second of a empty charging battery and it shuts down.

Thanks all for helping me, my phone works again by flashing it back to stock rom.
I dont have any root privileges and the yellow triangle is gone now. I already miss things as changing battery icon and ability to use camera when batterylevel is below 15%.
But for now on i will take a little easy with flashing.

So my phone started restarting randomly. It will only show the Samsung logo turn off and do the same thing again. Its not rooted and I am pretty sure that its not from something I installed recently (Everything was from the play store and no immediate problems after any of them). When I did the hold volume up,down and power it would only keep on restarting still. But when I just hold volume down it comes to something else that asks if I want to install a new rom. So I was wondering what I should do. Install a new ROM and then revert back ? or will that not work? Also I have a extra I717 with a broken screen I could swap the insides and see if that would help. Also I don't know much about rooting and stuffs. Lemme know what I should do guys! :highfive:

Take out the battery. Insert the battery without touching anything else. Does it just power on itself or does it stay off? If it does turn on, you might have a stuck power button. Let us know what happens
did that too :/
I did that too. It would turn off and on again but only show the Samsung logo then restart again. Also I have the case removed so It cant be the power button being stuck and I have tried the battery thing still nothing.
Whatcha mean? It would turn on by itself once the battery is inserted or you would have to press the power button. Once the battery is out and then inserted back in, it is not supposed to be powered on by itstelf. If it does turn on by itself, then the power button is most likely pressed in.

I have a I717 doing the same thing. (Eg. device boots and seems to function for a about 2 minutes locks up and reboots. )
As the device was stock when it started having this issue I figured it might be an OS issue Factory reset to it would leave the device booting to optimize applications then reboot. Checked power button checked it was clean.
Also staied on when in recovery without issue.
As I figured this was an OS issue I installed CWM
Downloaded and installed SlimBeam
Device booted and completed instlation and operated for about 2 minutes and rebooted.
Device will does not have any issues with in CWM or Odin. I
I read alsowhere that the internal SD-Card filesystem might have become corrupted and need to be reformated however I have yet to find instruction or confirmantion.
Anyone have some ideas?

to Tal Star.
1. When you were in CWM and were about to flash, did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then do the flash? Or just flash?
2. So either os it would do the same? Stay on for about two minutes, then reboot? Would it reboot back into the os and do the same?

So right now you can boot up into the os and it will turn off in 2 minutes? or just given enough time? Will it boot into the os each time? I dont think ill have an answer for it, but i bet someone that does will want to know the same things to possibly narrow it down

Naw it starts optimzing the Applications and lasts a few minutes reboots locks up and starts again. SlimBean completes the process and makes it all the way to the launcher but after a same amount of time it reboots. back to the launcher. (Slim bean has a resonable number less Apps and that's why it completes or is my best guess)

I really wouldnt know about that. Hopefully someone will come by and help you out. I wonder being on the latest recovery would help if youre not already and then doing it all over? Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.
Could be a corrupt download.
Again, I always flash rom 2 times. You can get different reactions from 2 seperate flashes. 2 time seems to get a more solid installation.
Wait your 10 and reboot.
Still think its a power button issue. It can act normal but still be the problem. Hows you battery?

HAAAAA I hope some one finds this trouble... having the same issue Here... Does your phone starts up correctly when sim card removed? Mine does when sim card removed and pluged into coputer or wall plug.... Did the same steps you did with no effect either... could it be a power management problem ??? :silly: This is getting me nuts...

I dobut it's a download. I use CWM to flash from an external SD card. However I did try reflashing like you suggest with no change. The battery is fine as far as I can tell, like I said it will stay online in recovery on battery for what seems like forever.

Nope I am working on the one I have with the SIM Card out & SD card out.
happens
So what I done so far is taken out the sim and sd card. Took out the battery put it back in and when I power to turn it on It vibrates (like it normaly would when it starts) then shows Samsung logo turns off and loops. I tried doing the hold volume up down power thing and it does not work. But what does work is when I hold volume down it takes me to a custom OS thing. I don't know what that is but I cant get there. So maybe put a custom OS in and then revert it back?
So I used Odin and put 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware but its still doing what it was doing before.Used 3.07 and it said it passed fine. Should I try a different rom or something else? Also the first time it starts up after installing the rom it goes past the logo to the ATT ball animation logo freeze there and turns of then when I turn it on from there it will loop at the samsung logo again.
You can try the firmware upgrade and initialization feature in kies. It will return your device to the original factory firmware, software, and settings. If it still loops after that you have hardware issues.
Ok so I guess im making progress now. After I put the stock rom (Different one from befor) It DIDNT BOOT LOOP well it did but only looped 3 times then stoped. Also there are 2 Samsung logos. the frist one was just normal logo ( same one I was having befor ) then the screen turns off and shows the same logo but this time its a little bigger its white with a blue glow! ( Made it further this time but still crashes afterwards) BUT now I can actualy get into the Manual mode. I did a wipe data/factory reset in that mode which didnt help i wiped the cache too. Still didnt help.
Now in manual mode my computer does recognize that something is connected to it now but it tries to configure it and keeps on failing. And so samsun kies cant connect to it either.
But from where I started at its a improvement
My Note is doing the same thing too now, but I know the reason why. I was trying to install clockworkmodrecovery so I would be able to upgrade to jellybean and I think I flashed a kernel that was meant for rooted phones (pretty dumb of me I guess). So now the phone is stuck and I'm going to try to install the original jellybean 4.1.2 for rogers and hopefully that will fix it.
As long as you can get into Odin download mode, your phone can be fixed.
Hey guys!
First of all i do not know if offering a donation for people helping out someone is again the rules here on xda, if so please tell me.
I will make a short intro and tell you that i yesterday received a Z2 from a friend that had upgraded himself with a newer phone so i got this one for free as a gift. (Had an Galaxy SII before)
And guess what, first thing i do is bricking it, genius..
When i got the phone i decided to "what the heck i want to root it" (because i rooted my SII without any problems) Anyhow i looked online and came across this guide made by arul20be, here on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ck-d6502-03-23-4-0-546-completeguide-t3171219
So i fallowed the guide downloaded everything except that i could not use adb-setup-1.4.2 nor could i use adb-setup-1.4.3. The installation did not extract any files, so i found version 1.3 of ADB and it worked. The rest went flawlessly until i came to the last step, where i booted in to recovery with Dual recovery and installed flashable_D6503_23.4.A.0.546.zip. After that i did as instructed, cleaned cache/dalvik. After that i tried to exit the recovery and choose i think it was "power off system", you guys that are familiar with Dual recovery probably understand where i pressed. After that my phone shut down and after a while either it started up or i started it(don't remember) and it shows the SONY logo, nothing more happened. It didn't not shut down or do anything so i let it be for like an hour or so and then decided to hard shutdown it by pressing power and volume up key. i tried to start it up after a while again to see if maybe something happens, nothing happend and i let the phone be on during the night to see if anything could happen.
So today when the the story was the same i looked online to try to solve the problem, i tried to enter recovery mode by pressing on and then pressing volume up and down but nothing. Did
try to hard factory rest by pressing the red button for a couple of seconds, but nothing. it vibrates three times and then the sony logo comes up again. (is it called bootloop?)
The status now is that the phone, if plugged in to a power source like PC, or wall it will show the SONY logo even if you shut it down with power off and volume up. in other words the phone restarts itself. The only way to shut it down is to do it without a power source.
The fallowing tools+files has been used:
adb-setup-1.3.exe
flashtool-0.9.19.8-windows.exe
rootkitXperia_20140719.zip
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer.zip
D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_UK Generic.ftf
flashable_D6503_23.4.A.0.546.zip
So the thing is that i really want to upgrade myself with a new phone. In the same time i got like under one bitcoin that i had for a while and because of my stupidness i feel like i can donate to that to the first person who engages him/herself to that level so i can use my phone again.
Sorry for the long post! Thanks in advance!

Try with flashtool 0.9.18.6. On 0.9.19.x I had some problems with booting (one time stucks at sony logo, one time bootloop, one time freezes all the time, on tme flathtool crashed...)
Download Flashtool 0.9.18.6 and download and flash 23.4.A.0.546 ROM from here: https://mega.nz/#!n1YlBAhI!HX8WPPyjLDJGnUZ-9_Xom96OFZcDUfasgzjuagrj2UE (this is compiled by me FTF File, I'm using it when sth goes wrong) and then, when it boots (must boot because it's not hardbrick), charge it to 100%, download 23.1.A.1.28 5.0.2 ROM from here https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0By-vo9NJkgzJVUo0dVNreFNvSjg&export=download
And flash this ROM and reboot and DO NOT UPDATE. Install KingRoot (the newest is the best) and root it, then install XZ Dual Recovery and that's all.
Hope I helped, if not, write me in comment what went wrong, and, if any errors in flashtool are shown, copy and paste to comment and let mi see them.

Thank you for the reply! i can not see how much my phone is charged and when i charge it the SONY logo shows up, so i do not know how much that drains the battery. But i will wait an hour or so then. Will try method after that! Though my phone was gone, but what i have now read myself to is that Hard brick is first when the phone is totally dead.
Before you answered i was going to do this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53220435&postcount=4
But i will go with your instead first. Should i uninstall my current flashtool and download Flashtool-0.9.18.6-windows.exe instead for now then while i wait for my phone to charge?
found this the file here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4sYgaP5RMK0S1pzUnMzdWd3UnM/view
Edit: did not read your post properly, will start with your custom ROM soon!

A question: was the rom 23.4.A.0.546 ROM really right for Z2? because Flashtool says hold "Back button" and plug in the phone. Z2 does not have a back button, but maybe you could house volume down?

You can only use custom roms with an unlocked boot loader. Locked boot loader requires a sony kernel.
**edit**
Read the instructions he gave you, it's a modified stock rom so that should be fine. I've bricked mine and the flashtool has resolved it so hopefully it will for you
Um... Considering the fact that your phone boots up, I strongly recommend you to try a fresh install with pc companion.... I had somewhat a similar issue and it was the last resort for me and it worked...

I am currently downloading https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0By-vo9NJkgzJVUo0dVNreFNvSjg&export=download and will flash soon. I just have some questions, because i fallowed this guide:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6502-23-1-0-726-complete-guide-t3085893" and did install both rootkitXperia_20140719 and lockeddualrecovery. did those programs get wiped when i installed your custom ROM? Sorry for all the questions but i am trying to get a grip how the phones software works, and so i dont mess anything more up when installing kingsroot etc.
Btw. Kingsroot should i download that from google play or is it through PC? If i should download their APK.
Kingroot download apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Then install xzdual recovery from nut via PC but turn off anti-virus because it shows virus (it's exploit) and then push prerooted zip to sdcard and install via twrp but remember to make factory reset (wipe data and cache - wiping cache can take up to 10 minutes). If you root via kingroot you won't lose data, but when installing prerooted Rom you'll lose your data (but internal memory won't be wiped)

Yes, but download for Z2 filename: Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.25-RELEASE.combined.zip when you install it, phone will reboot to TWRP Recovery, so before you install it, place prerooted rom zip to sdcard

Ok! so prerooted rom, is that like the flashable rom? or can i for example choose to install like Cyanagenmod?
So, I already had some issues with this device and they've been pretty similar, in a way that the problem always starts with random reboots when the power button is pressed. About two weeks ago I took it to a technician, because all sorts of connectivity (3G/Wi-fi/Bluetooth) simply stopped working, after yet another reboot. About 3 days ago I got it back and it was working fine except for the fact that the initial boot Motorola logo (The green one before the other logo animations) wasn't showing up. He told me it was fine because it was only an aesthetic problem because he couldn't find that image for my device's resolution.
This morning when i was going to work i picked up my XT1025 Moto E to check for messages and it suddenly restarted. So when I turn it back on, not only the animations did not pop up, but after some time all i get is a black screen, no UI whatsover, all I can do is turn off/restart the phone. At random times when I turn on the screen, it's content shows up but I can't click anything, and then an error message pops up saying that ''system has stopped responding''. I've tried many things to fix it, but nothing has worked so far.
What i've tried:
-Wiping cache partition did not work
-Factory resetting did not work either
-Unlocking bootloader (but apparently it was unlocked already)
-Flashing a custom recovery did not work for some reason...
These last two were on the ''All-In-One Guide'' by neo.ank and honestly I have no idea what i should do to fix this problem - I was thinking about reinstalling the stock ROM but i'd rather ask here first for you guys suggestions... (like i said, complete newb here).
Sorry for the long post and bad english, hopefully someone can help me out on this.

I think it's currently using lollipop 5.1.
If u want to get back to stock 5.1 then flash stock rom. Then download the firmware from below link .
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783250
and download the batch file
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087018369
1. Boot ur phone in fastboot mode then.
2. Extract the firmware and batch file on same folder and click on the batch file.
3. Click on the Fashtool batch file.
