Hi everyone. Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem that i cant boot into CWM. I have Neo MT15i running FINE with stock rom ICS .587, locked bootloader and rooted. I also installed x-Parts as well as CWM 5.5 and busybox 1.20. But my problem is that my phone just cant boot into CWM recovery no matter what i did either press and release volume - continuously when "SONY" logo appears, or using x-Parts function to boot into recovery. It just ends up stuck at "SONY" logo (I waited for about 10 minutes but no respond)
You have to press Back button while booting from Sony Logo to boot into CWM.

same problem for me...xperia neo v
Hello.
I have a similar problem, if not identical. I rooted my MT15i today hoping to install a custom ROM I found in this forum.
Everything went fine. I rooted the phone and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery properly.
Then, I downloaded the rom .zip, placed it in /sdcard, made a backup of my current system, wiped data/ full reset and installed the ROM with SUCCESS, as it said in the log.
After that, I rebooted the phone and now it keep stuck in the "SONY" boot screen and won't change no matter what I do.
But I think I know why did this happen. I was following a tutorial found in another site. There was listed only to wipe data and full reset, and not to wipe danvik and cache, as I came to read after I was stuck in the boot screen.
The problem is that now I can't even get to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, even if I start the phone holding volume down button (or reset, or any other button the phone might have).
The only thing to do is removing the battery. After starting again, it gets stuck again in SONY screen.
When I plug the phone into my PC, nothing happens. It doesn't get recognised.
It only turns on and stops at the SONY screen again.
I wonder if there's a way to access the Clockwork Mod Recovery menu or some way to return the phone to the stock settings.
Or is it a possible brick?
Thanks for the help already.
Ps.: sorry for the long post.
First of all don't worry your device is not broken
And not every custom Rom support locked bootloader
The reason you can't access cwm because you wiped data
I think you can restore your phone by reflash firmware using flashtool

I can get the phone to conect to the PC in flashmode. I downloaded the stock firmware of Neo MT15i (v 4.1.A.0.562) and flashed it, but no luck. The phone keeps stuck in the SONY screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: actually, when I bought the phone, it came with Android 2.3, I don't remember the firmware version.

It doesn't matter which android version you flash all should work
make sure you checked those boxes in flashmode
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe apps log
No final verification
And just to know when you flashed the firmware. Does it completed successfully?

Well, I got the phone to boot. I was just trying to flash an incomplete firmware, I guess. I downloaded a new firmware I found in a rooting tutorial thread in this forum and flashed it. The phone is now working fine.
But now it's not rooted anymore. Maybe in the future I'll try to root and flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help, anyway. :laugh:
Never mind, but I suggest you unlock your bootloader if you would like to flash custom Rom

What rom were you trying to install? Is your bootloader unlocked? And you can try flashing stock firmware with flashtool to revive it...

NEO V doesn't boot
Hi,
I installed following in my Neo V MT11i
Super Jelly Bean v6.0(16th august 2013)
best kernel for sjb(fusion 5.4)
debloated updated gapps
using following link . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632
I am using Kernel_Flasher_v2.0 to flash the image kernel. It recognises the device and shows that the kernel is flashed. But the device doesnt reboot. I root the phone through eroot software. Then I install X parts and go into recovery mode.
I wiped the phone fully, including system format.
Please guide where I am missing some crucial step.
I am using windows 8

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

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

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?

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
Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

You're on the wrong forum mate, for the z2 go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2
Please don't try to flash any .ftf file you downloaded from the xperia z forum, as this would hard brick your phone. Search for it in the link I posted.
Good luck

This connects the phone in flash mode for me.

Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.

I'm very pleased to say that this worked. Thanks!
Now, I think I might just persevere with the stock ROM for now and enjoy my new phone.
Thanks again to everyone who helped.

Hey guys i got a slight problem.
I had the Android Revolution HD Rom and i was trying to install another one , it really wasnt my first time doing this however this time a problem occurred.
My volume side buttons are not working so i couldnt get into recovery mode using them also on top of that the rom itself didnt have the option to go to recovery when turning off the phone.
I downloaded the Quick boot tool apk from Playstore and used it to go to recovery... I WISH I DIDNT
now my phone when turned on shows samsung logo and it goes to recovery and quickly goes back to the logo and loops in that way...
Is there anyway to access the download mode without pressing them sidebuttons, i even tried ODIN but it cant recognize the phone because it keeps looping...
I am clueless now and any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for spelling or any typos i am really angry atm.

You can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to enter whether download mode or recovery.

It doesn’t sound good then. Please read again threads like this on how to recover from a bootloop. If you really can’t access neither recovery or download mode using adb, that’s out of my knowledge, and you might need to read about how to fix a hard brick. There’s a thread about that in these stickies.

i managed to get into download mode however prior the brick i didnt enable developer mode on the phone and now the pc cannot recognize it when connected.
Developer switch is irrelevant to download mode, search the many threads on things to try to get Odin connected.
I followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/how-to/f31xx-how-to-root-xperia-xa-noob-t3430170
With some specific files (boot and recovery images) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa-ultra/how-to/how-to-root-xperia-xa-ultra-dual-t3439173
The rough steps that I took:
Put the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip in the microsd
Unlocked the bootloader
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Booted into TWRP
Since the internal data was shown as (0) , I Wiped the device.
Installed SuperSU-v2.76 from the microsd
Rebooted the device
It did an automatic reboot after going through the logos (I guess this part is expected after installing SuperSU)
After that, it gets stuck on the Xperia logo (the video logo keeps playing)
Now, after I turn on the device:
It goes through the Sony logo
It goes through the Android logo
It gets stuck on the Xperia logo (while playing the logo)
It doesn't get passed the Xperia logo.
Things I can still do:
I can boot into TWRP recovery (yay?)
I can use adb sideload with TWRP
I can't yet get back into fastbood mode, but I guess I can if I keep at it. I could go to fastbood mode before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think it has to do with drivers. By default it recognizes the device as "SEMC flash drive" and will not recognize it as fastboot. After about a minute or so, it will disconnect the "SEMC flash drive" and boots the phone.
Give it to me straight, is my phone actually bricked?
If not, please let me know what I can do to fix it. It is very much appreciated to hear from anyone about this. Thank you all in advance.
If you need any additional info (logs, phone details, etc. etc.) feel free to ask me and I will happily comply.
If you can't get through the bootanimation, then yes that's kind of a soft brick. A solution would be to flash an official firmware from xperifirm (preferably .100 or .111 in order to to install root successfully) and then get everything done with simple baby steps. After flashing, you can wipe your data (if you wanna), reboot and then install root (I do not recommend flashing supersu and wiping at the same time when using an official firmware).
Note: Because we are stuck with only official fws, boot and recovery files can only work on specific fws

Hey
Thanks for your reply on my cry for help.
So basically get the firmware from Xpeifirm, make sure boot is working fine (basically back to square one ... sorta), then root by installing the SuperSU again. right?
I had already looked at Xperifirm before this. but I couldn't figure out how to properly use it. and now I'm a bit stuck.
I followed these:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Y-BOWlQdw
But when I follow the steps, I get stuck here (when creating the bundle using the bundler in flash tools) :

Any ideas on how to proceed?
Also another question. Can I get away with using adb sideloader instead of flashtool? some driver problems that are bugging me ...
Appreciate your response and thank you so much!
sony- android- xperia- off
good day! i hope im on the correct thread. i am having this issue on my xperia xa ultra dual.
everytime i turn the device on, it displays the sony logo, then the android logo, the xperia logo, then it turns off. i cant seem to get past through this regardless if i'll press the volume- and power or the volume+ and power. im almost certain that this can be fixed by doing something on the flashtool. i guess i just dont know how to do it. a step-by-step tutorial is greatly appreciated.
Can you get it into fash mode? If you can just flash ftf file for your phone.

hi. thanks for the response! i tried to flash the stock ftf for my f3212 and now it doesn't boot at all! T___T it will only show a steady red light if its connected to the PC.
Unfortunately this is a known issue when flashing after only red light when plug in for charging.
If you are under warranty send in for service their no known fix for this.
It happened to me I junk it.
And got another one.
