Hello, Iam totaly f***ed up, I have Xperia P, rooted, unlocked bootloader, CWM recovery, with Cyanogenmod. Well at least last time CM worked, it was version for some tablet and I wanted to flash right ROM. But via CWM recovery it failed, so I connected phone to PC, launched "Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT" and flashed boot.img ( fastboot flash boot boot.img )from CM zip. It said it worked, but when I rebooted my phone, there was just red LED diode, and no light from screen or back/home buttons at all. When I wanted to flash stock firmware via "Flashtool", it said my devide drivers arent installed, but I installed them before from "drivers" folder in Flastool folder. So I downloaded some other drivers, but it f***ed up somehow, and now my computer cant install right drivers and when I connect my phone to PC in fastbootmode? (holding volume down when connecting USB), Iam stuck at Windows installing SOMC Flash Device, and it fails in couple of minutes. I really dont know what to do now. please help...
EDIT: ok my problem with SOMC Flash Device driver is solved... I just didnt hold volume down button long enough hope this will help someone too but still I have unusable phone and I need to instal stock firmware or something else that will help

Hi, i think i have a problem with the wrong kernel installed.
I have a SXSwith ICS and since a couple of days i tried to unlock the bootloader, put Doomlords CWM on it an root it, because i like to try another ROM.
I Unrooted it via the official way wich worked out good, the only thing strange was that i restarted and it seemed the whole phone was resetted.
Than i wanted to root and i had to put the phone in recovery mode, and i choose the doomlord CWM and flashed it using this guide
.
Xperia S
1.Download the Doomlord CWM Recovery image (download link here) and the Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel (download link here) and place the same to the computer.
2.Go and rename the “S-DooMKernel-v01_kernel.elf” file into “kernel.elf”.
3.Copy the file renamed on the same folder with ADB / fastboot.
4.Take your phone and its USB cord and by using both connect it with the computer.
5.Copy-paste the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” file from the PC to the Xperia S SD card.
6.Disconnect the smartphone from the computer.
7.Reboot it by entering in fastboot; press the Volume Up button while connecting the phone with the PC.
8.On the computer open command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd) and enter the command: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf. If this isn’t working try with: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf.
9.The handset should reboot.
10.When you see the light turn blue hold the Voluem Up button. The Xperia S will enter in recovery mode.
11.In the recovery menu select “install zip from sd card” and pick the file copied there on step 3.
12.The installation procedure should begin. Don’t press anything as the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete.
13.In the end, from the recovery mode menu select “reboot system now” and you are done.
There you have it; that was the easiest and fastest way in which you can learn how to install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your Xperia S smartphone. Do tell us if there were problems on your way, of if you had issues in understanding one of my directions. Now you can go and update your Xperia S with the lasts ROMs available.

Everything seemed to be working but the phone is stuck in Doomlords bootloops.
If i hold the volume up than i can enter CWM but the phone doesn,t start anymore.
The phone was running on a stock ICS ROM (i believe the Swiss one)
I flashed this kernel, 2.6.35.11/Doomkernel.nr1 and SDoomkernel v01 Modules.zip
Who can help me out since i,m stuck here.
doomlord kernel is for GB since youre on ICS try KA Kernel, XSX Kernel, and the Advanced stock ICS. look in the development section. you can flash it in CWM since youve flash doomlord kernel or try to flash via fastboot.
Thanks for your quick response, how can i put the kernel on the internal sd?
the phone doesn't start, so it wont be recognised by windows, i tried to mount in CWM but windows doesn't see it.
If i flash in fastboot mode, do i have to change the name again and wich name if i take the KA kernel for example.
Thanks

Just downlaod the advanced stock kernel (the fastboot link) and flash it in fastboot
It will boot :good:
just download any of the 3 but u need the .elf file and then flash via fastboot you dont need to change the name just used the name youve downloaded to flash.
for example : ics14.elf
used fastboot or adb
fastboot flash boot ics14.elf
you can also used the flashtool, flash via fastmode then choose the ics firmware you have then flash only the kernel. uncheck everything except the kernel.
but the easy way to do is flash via fastboot mode.
I just tried using flashtool, everything goes fine exept it doesnt flash.
Downloaded the Stock "Swiss" ROM and tried to flash with flashtool, it recognised the device, because it says device connected, then it askes to unplug en plug in the device, which i've done then the pop up that tells to disconnect/connect the device stays on and nothing happens.
I'm getting a little worried now...
Thanks for your replie
hey you have working fastboot right or adb? flash a kernel like what ive said above using fastboot,
or you can try this, dont connect your phone to pc yet, make sure it is turn off (hold power button +power up wait till it vibrates 3 times.)
1. open flashtool
2. choose your firmware.
3. when it says unplugged your phone,connect your phone to pc then hold power button +volume up wait till it vibrates 3 times, then hold power button + volume down then release it will flash.
Thanks for all the replies, i got it working.
Seems that i turned my phone one in fastboot mode and not the flashmode...oops
Flashed the original Swiss ROM again and it works again, thankgod!
But i dont want the original anymore, can i just flash another available rom on the android dev section or do i need to root? Sorry for beeing such a noob.
yes you can just flash any custom kernel it will give you auto root, then u can start flashing rom via cwm. just follow the instructions in every rom.
I am having the same problem as I am stuck with DoomLord's boot loop. I tried to flash ICS stock rom but cant get to flash it. I tried holding the power button + volume up key(until i get the three vibration) and then hold power button + volume up key and release, I get the same DoomLord's boot loop again. I am using X10 Flashing Tool Version 0.8.0.0 Somebody please help me. The device can fast boot.
download the latest flashtool, then download ICS stock firmware of your choice on the general section, then flash it via flashmode. (power+volume down)
A couple of days ago my xperia mini pro started acting strange. after turning the screen off once, it wouldn't turn on. i coudn't see anything, if a call comes i hear the ringtone and can't answer it.the problem persisted on rebooting.
so i thought about installing cm 9.0 fresh again as i was gonna do it anyways. so i reboot it and get to cwm, i goto installing new cm and it says: finding update package, opening update package, installing update.... it got stuck here kept it for an hour and no luck. so i pulled the battery and reinserted it. on booting it got stuck in a bootloop. so i tried to restore my previous cm9 and it checked the md5 sum and started restoring system, and it stuck there. i tried restoring it to other backups and it gets stuck at some point in restoring sytem.
i can get into cwm but restoring gets stuck midway, so its not much use.
the xperiamini pro is rooted and bootloader unlocked. need help.
EDIT:
found the root cause
the cwm basically loses connection with the sd card after certain time. so can't restore, install, mount(for pc). all gets stuck midway. So i threw away the sd card. got a new one. copied the backup and voila its good as new. now i am back in cm9.1.
Re: CWM gets stuck and no rom
Change your kernel and try cwm again...

Is there any way to know the battery percent in this situation. when connecting charger, it bootloops. and so i don't wanna use flashtool without knowing how much battery i have.
when i try to connect it via flashmode, it connects for some time and then starts booting

Don't worry about battery. Kernel flash lasts 2-3 secs.

i cant use flashtool, after exactly 40 seconds on connecting via flashmod, the connection breaks and the devices boots. i tried flashmod with emma, it didn;t reboot but it doesn't have anything for my phone.
any way i can get links to other better kernels for sk17i. (maybe lupus?)

Use Fastboot. Copy boot.img to fastboot directory. Power off your phone. Go to fastboot directory, press the vol up button and connect phone with PC via USB cable. You'll hear the connection tone and led will become blue. Release vol up button. Run flash.cmd and it's done. All you need is 2-3 secs.

The log tells you, what to do:
Go to c:/Flashtool/drivers folder and run exe. Install fastboot driver, flashmode driver, and your phones driver. (or simply install all)

kernel is kernel_mini_pro_ics_lupus_v3_cwm
EDIT:
This is specifically a win 8 issue! couldn't do it in a lap with win 8 either. could easily do it with win 7.
now i am running lupus kernel and the restore still gets stuck
using cwm v5.0.2.7 (by KrSH)
I gave up on cwm, had a stock ftf lying around flashed it the old fashioned way.
its a far cry from cm, i feel like i'm in the stone age. but still beats having a useless phone.
too scared to try cwm again.
now back in cm9.

I have LG P670 v20i eur, i have unlocked bootloader and rooted. But, if i boot to bootloader mode when i want to flash recovery, my pc wont recognize the phone. And it doing a strange thing. Connects and disconnects and connects and disconnects....doing classic windows sound around. I hit the device manager and found unrecognized device and install fastboot drivers manualy, and it sasy that i have last drivers sinstalled but windows sill disconnecting my phone. I can do it in windows 8.1 and on win XP. Than i install cwm based recovery with lg recovery installer (for locked BL). Is there any possible way to install "artas182x" recovery without bootloader ? If i make flashable zip with "artas182x" recovery and flash with recovery for lock BL ?
Thanks for answer, for now i'm very sad :/
Edit: friend tell me that app "Flashify" can do this, and i have installed unofficial CM11 for now but, in bootloader my pc still doing same error
Hi!
I'm so stupid. I wanted to install cm12.1. So I rooted phone, unlocked BL. Then, I had first problem - when executing adb oem-unlock BL has unlocked and phone go to fastboot. But my comp couldn't recognize it (heard plugging in and out sound repeatedly). And here comes my "stupidity". I installed flashify and flashed CWM by it, got to CWM, installed cm12.1 zip. Of course wiped all data. Because I didn't flashed boot.img cm12.1 was freezing on fist setting up screen (nothing was working, just power button - pushing 10s turned off phone).
I wanted to flash boot.img by fastboot. But I still had problems with drivers(omap4boot didn't work). So I tried to recovery system by LG Mobile Support Tool. Everything got fine, but then phone stuck on the LG logo.
S/W Uprgade mode works of course, but I can't get to recovery now.
I'm using Windows 8.1
Any ideas?
Edit.
Ok, so I tried to install omap again. I did it, but the phone is still repeatedly conecting and disconnecting and in device manager I cought omap4430 driver whith waring mark for a while. Any ideas now?
Is it the non-animated LG logo?
This should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384
The download links for the firmware are probably not up to date. Use this to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287573
If your phone still goes beyond the non-animated logo, there might be easier solutions.
It was after animation.
Anyway, I have finally solved this problem by installing new system using Bride's solution with full wipe.
Yesterday I tried to flash a a new rom on my Xperia Z2 (unlocked bootloader).
From TWRP I did an advanced wipe and selected basically everything except my mircoSD (because it has the new files).
After a long time of waiting I tried to flash the ZIP file and it gave me an error. I thought this had to do with the wipe so I decided to reboot my phone.
As you can imagine, it got stuck on the Sony logo (because system would be empty).
From this moment I couldn't do anything with my phone, except from the tool Emma.
I now have some clean installation of Sony their Android 6.0.1 for the Z2 (23.5.A.0.570) but Im unable to flash TWRP through fastboot.
The command adb devices shows my phone, fastboot devices gives an empty response.
When I restart to the bootloader from adb and try to flash TWRP I get the message "< waiting for device >".
I tried on three different PCs including a clean install of Windows with all kind of different drivers, yet I cant get fastboot to work.
Am I stuck with this unrooted version of Android now or do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance!
Install drivers correctly

As I said I've tried all kind of different drivers (Android tools, Sony drivers and flahstool drivers). So for me it's hard to tell what I'm doing wrong.
My computer notices the phone (if I hold volume up and attach the charger), it just doesn't show up under fastboot devices.

Okay, apparently it was because of the driver signature stuff in Windows 10.. The fastboot command now works fine!
Next problem occurred though, flashed the newest TWRP recovery but as soon as I enter "adb reboot recovery" my phone just normally boots again..
Why do things never work out the right way for me as they are intended..

Manually boot into recovery by booting up your device normally and when you see a violet LED, press vol+.
