I tried flashing the android revolution and everything went great except when the phone shut off right before it promted me to reboot the system. i Booted it back up, and now it's telling me that my root is broken/missing. I tried going back to the backup that i made before the flashing but it was stuck on a bootloop. I dont know what to do. Is my phone bricked? i can still manage to go to recovery, i have twrp.
No, the phone is not bricked. As long as the screen comes on, you can recover.
Did you do a full wipe (data, Dalvik, and cache) before flashing the ROM?
Just try doing a wipe in recovery, and flashing the ROM again.

and when i try to do a RESTORE is telling me that there is no sd-ext.img
and no android_secure.img
can some one PLEASE help me. THANKSSSSsss........
In your recovery are you able to flash images? If so I suggest you download a ROM and try to flash it. That usually solves my problems.
Yea try reflashing a ROM, deleting everything off your sdcard, wiping factory data, davlik cache, and sd ext partition.
Wipe anything you can pretty much ha.
You should only really have to flash the ROM. I can't imagine how replacing the ROM wouldn't totally fix everything. Do a wipe first.
Also understand that it can easily take 5 to 10 minutes to boot for the first time after flashing a new rom let it sit for 20 then worry.
As long as you can hit recovery you haven't ****ed it up too bad though, that's a positive.
Nice i just run the RUU and now my phone wont turn on at all
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hi I have attempted to install experience rom on my xperia U. Firstly i successfully unlocked the boot loader. I then rooted it and installed CWM recovery all still good. I the transferred the ROM image to the phone went into recovery did a wipe data factory reset and wipe cash partition. Also wipe dalvick cache. Selected the ROM and install started, it hung, only way out was battery pull, I went back into recovery same thing happened, finally tried once more and it hung at about 75%. Now phone goes in a loop sony logo to black screen and I cant get into recovery mode. I have searched to see if I can find a way out but not found a way around it yet. I would be very grateful for any help with this.

flash stock ICS Rom ftf with flashtool
Thanks for help
Thanks I managed to flash stock Gingerbread in the end.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a handy guide I found. (youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g)
Where it says connect phone I found you need to connect it in fast boot (hold volume up button as you connect it) when the software is ready to flash un-plug phone then connect in flash mode (hold volume down button as you connect).

Flash stock firmware.
Install fastboot drivers.
Flash SlidingXU in cmd
Try out Zperience or TheBrainsRom following factory data reset, wiping cache and dalvik cache.
So I have been following the unofficial cm-10.2 ROM. I have dirty flashed probably 3 times without issue. I flash the ROM, a pinlock removal zip and gapps. Then wipe dalvik/cache and reboot. I started doing this with twrp 2.6.
So this morning I grab the latest update, backup, flash.l, reboot.... nothing.
Stuck at LG logo to a black screen. I can get into bootloader, blindly vol down twice and into recovery, now twrp 2.5, so I try to recover by backup, reboot.... black screen.
So I try wiping/factory reset, clean flash, reboot.... black screen...
Now I am a little concerned. I read up and find out about TeenyBin, so I setup my machine to flash the standard zip and that doesn't really work, it flashes fine, reboots but is stuck at LG logo and the tool reports disconnected, so the tool fails kind of. So I try the alternate, same sort of thing, but now it says Google instead of LG and is stuck there. I can get into bootloader, can see text now (nice!) and get into recovery, still 2.5. Tried restoring, wiping/flashing, nothing working..... stuck at Google logo.
So, then I went and formatted internal storage. Bingo! Now I can flash/restore/whatever and I can reboot and get into ROM!
Woah, woah, woah... Not so fast.
So now if I wipe anything, cache/dalvik/system/ANYTHING it soft bricks. I have to again format internal, then flash. That doesn't seem right to me. Sure, I have a functioning phone, but updating is a bigger ***** now that I have to completely format before flashing.
So my question to you all, how do I fix this? Do I need to completely go back to stock image and reroot? I appreciate all your suggestions.

Give CWM a shot and see if it does the same thing?
I rooted my device a few days ago in order to stop the 4.1 ota update, I am currently on 4.0.4 and the device is an xt912.
Today I decided to install safestrap and after installing the recovery and booting into it, I backed up the stock rom.
After backing it up, I clicked on reboot to system.
The device then jumped into a bootloop.
So I cleared cache, dalvik cache, and even factory reset but it won't pass the DROID eye.
So I created a new slot and restored my early backup and to my suprise, it booted up.
I then rebooted back to recovery and cleared system, data,cache and dalvik cache of stock slot and restored the same back up there and rebooted, and it booted up nicely. But after that the recovery kind of disappeared. So I installed safestrap apk again and rebooted to recovery to make sure it flashed.
I was able to boot into the recovery but as I tried to boot back into the rom, I got stuck in a boot loop again.
My problem is if I reinstall the recovery, the device gets stuck in a bootloop, unless I wipe everything and restore my backup.
Also when turn off the phone and connect it to wall charger, the battery sign doesn't show up again.
Can u guys help me out??
Doesn't matter if I loose my stuff.
I just want a working 4.0.4 with root and to be able to charge the device when it's off.
(BTW my version of safestrap is 3.3.0 I think. Its 3 point something.)
I need help ASAP.
