[Q] Boot loop? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello again lol, I have a slight problem.
I've rooted, backed up ta partition and installed recovery and installed the Radioactive ROM. All was well.
I then thought about installing the Acid mod to get good sound quality.
It installed but then when android was booting up it installed the apps before going to the home screen but hanged so I restarted the phone and was stuck in a boot loop,
I managed to get the phone into recovery and done a data reset then to reinstall the ROM and had a go at installing the acid mod again. now im stuck in a boot loop with the phone unable to boot into recovery and have no ideas what to? Feels like ive thrown over £500 into the wind lol.

What Rom are you running? It sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop.

AOKP. I am stuck in a boot loop.. tried installing other ROMs but keep getting back in the boot loop into recovery.
I need some help ASAP!
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes then make sure it's fully charged then go into recovery. and flash rom again
you might have to use odin and flash your phone back to stock.
None of my attempts to recover worked.. so i decided to ODIN to stock and back to AOKP. So far so good.. AOKP stock loaded, now i'm going to try and do a backup restore.
One thing i missed though --- i didn't install the atlas file with the stock ROM.. does it matter? what does it do anyway?
The reason you bootlooped was because you 3 fingered to recovery on an ics rom, which is a big no-no. Always boot to recovery via power menu. You should have re-partitioned using the pit file, but if everything works I wouldn't sweat it. If you start to get fc's then you know where you went wrong.

You're right.. that i did. My phone was blank and the power button just wouldn't boot the phone so i resulted to the force-recovery. Everything seems to be working, and i'm going to flash to milestone 6 while i'm at it. Anything i should watch out for other that FC's? i've actually read while doing research that Atlas may actually cause instabilities..

Reflashing stock rom

I have an s2.I want to avoid making a nandroid backup. So, if the flashing of a custom rom fails or after, flashing, the phone gets stuck at the boot logo, can i just flash the stock rom directly via odin? Will it harm the phone? Can the phone even go to download mode if its stuck at the boot logo ?

hello,
you could have asked this question in your previous thread instead of creating a new one.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes
# If you follow the flashing instructions in the OP, your phone should not stuck at the boot logo.
First try to perform a factory data reset and reboot again before flashing via Odin
2. No
3. The phone should be able to enter download mode.

[Q] Stuck on logo, no errors, need help

I searched and couldn't find a situation like this. I have been running Cougar's CM7.2 for six months now with no problems (also have CWM 5.5.0.4). Today, while making a phone call, my phone froze. Here is what I have tried so far...
- Pulled the battery, rebooted, stuck at logo.
- Entered CWM, did a full wipe, tried a restore. The restore process did not complete for over an hour...no error messages. Pulled the battery, tried another restore. Same result.
- Tried to start from scatch. SBFed 198_7. Seemed to load correctly thru RSD Lite except the boot screen still displayed "Unlocked." Rebooted and stuck at logo
- Tried 154_4 - same results. Stuck at boot logo and says "Unlocked"
I have not received a single boot error nor any error with RSD Lite.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Doesn't seem like the SBF "took" on all attempts (with multiple factory resets prior to the SBF). Still show "unlocked" with CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Flash the stock again and wait till finish then do factory reset
if the cwm still present that mean the abf file didnt flash at all flashb it again

Got an error when I tried to restore an AOKP (TheBill's Atrix port) ROM that had worked previously. Specifically, the message was "Error while restoring /system!"

The phone completely failed and would not even power on. Took it to the Sprint store and exchanged ($35) for one they had on hand (refurb). My guess is there was either a hardware issue or the system memory became corrupted. Thanks Mions for the help. It's gonna suck being on 2.3.5.
U are welcomed but i hate being locked after u taste what can do in unlocked phone but any way better than nothing

I think my phone's bricked, help!

I think I'm bricked... I haven't had much experience with Android devices so be noob-friendly please!
So I bought a chinese MTK6589 phone called the Tronsmart TS7 Glacier. I tried to flash CWM recovery with an app called Flashify. I was using the right CWM recovery for my phone, but when it rebooted it opened the normal recovery mode, and then when I tried to reboot, it didn't get past the first logo that comes up... Normally it shows an android logo, then it goes to a little animation with the tronsmart logo, then it's started up. Now it's stuck on the android logo... I've tried reflashing the stock rom from my SD card but I can't do it because it only works in CWM, the installation aborts normally. I've done it before but I got into CWM through a different app called mobileuncle or something. So yeah what I think I need to do is reflash the stock rom, but I can't do it without CWM, and I can't get CWM... Help me :crying:

If you have a nandroid backup of your stock ROM then try restoring it.
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then try to boot
