Hey there guys, i have currently a big problem on my play or lets rather say I’m not able get it started.
Always when I’m trying to boot the phone I just ending up wirth a black screen. At first, it shows the normal boot behavior plus the Sony ericsson boot animation Logo, but then it turns automatically off again and tries to boot over and over again, the whole time.
How does it come:
I have tried to install a custom Theme, to be more exact this theme here. I wanted to install it over the Root explorer and moved and replaced the framework-res.apk to /system/framework…..and ended up like that after reboot….
Is there any chance to get my phone worked again, or are all of my data lost forever? ;(
Reflash a system.img
That file is an update.zip, which you ought to flash with ClockWorkMod. You shouldn't just copy-paste the items inside said files, since this kind of things can happen.

Use the recovery and install the theme again over your ****ed up system. It will fix permissions and hopefully fix your phone!

That's a point too.....I haven't installed recovery until now….should I be able to launch recovery afterwards in this status? via adb maybe?…..uhhhhhh
Right now you cannot install recovery, you boot it with the proper command as per the instruction of the thread and do what you need. Therefore, you can launch recovery any time, as long as you can enter fastboot

Great thanks so far, as excepted there’s no problem to get fastboot started.
But it seems like, that I still haven’t got it properly installed in the way it should be.
After I downloaded the IMG File from Bin4ry’s thread, I was running fastboot and opened a cmd on the folder where the IMG file was contained and entered the command:
fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img…..
and nothing happened….
I know that I missed something, what exactly has gone wrong?
Just btw, is there right now, on the whole XDA Universe a big ass Tutorial or Guide with the all the best of introductions for things like adb, recovery, custom roms etc.?
I'm looking for it quite a while and got more or less just pieces… =/

when entering the commands make sure you get the fastboot running first and execute the flash commands while the phone is UNPLUGGED and powered down. then when says waiting for device, plug in in fastboot. if this doesnt work i am not sure what your doing wrong or if something else is broken that needs to be fixed also
You said you where running fastboot and then used cmd? fastboot is a part of the android sdk, you have to put the .img file in the same folder as fastboot is (C:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/tools if you installed the android-sdk in the standard place) and then run that command when your phone is in fastboot mode.

Shouldn’t it be then C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ?
Because when I’m doing it exactly as you say, it appears a error report with a missing AdbWinApi.dll, which is detectable in \platform-tools…..
But I guess that makes not realy more sense....
I haven't tried it out yet, I'm to scared of trying out things just by myself right now, please correct me if I'm wrong…
Download my attached fastboot_adb.zip, extract the archive and copy all 4 files to
C:\Windows\
After you have done that open a command prompt.
You will see smth like this :
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\>
Now change to the directory where you put the recoveryPLAY.img .
Enter smth like this
Code:
cd C:\the\path\where\you\put\the\file
if it is on antother drive you have to switch the driveletter before:
for example on drive D:\ just type
Code:
d:
then change to the directory.
IF you are inside the wanted directory type exactly this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
after that just wait and your phone will boot to recovery mode!
I'm wondering how you have unlocked your bootloader if you are not able to use fastboot commands

My bad, I once copied all contents from platform-tools to tools as a cheap fix (could very well be for the AdbWinApi.dll file). Binary's solution is the better though.
YEAH! Worked ;DDDDD ....halfway through.... =/
I was running everything as Bin4ry said and it worked till the point where I rebooted the system again.
And see there, even the boot animation has changed to the one on this thread here.
But then, it acts with the same behavior before….boots automatically on and off, over and over again…just with a new animation….
Maybe the zip.file of the theme isn't compatible with my phone, I have btw R800i – 184.
So, I guess the stock theme should fix it, right?

Naja, ist alles schon Monate her, da vergisst man solche Sachen halt mal, aber hey! gut zu wissen das Schwelm gleich bei mir um die Ecke ist
If nothing works you have to restore stock system.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
This will solve your problem. Your data is stored in userdata partition, so it wont be affected from this process.

Allright, but to restore the system, I assume I need a system.img File, correct?

lol bootloader could brick your device too.
just make sure what you are flashing with fastboot is what you want.
fastboot flash recovery amonra315.img
here are some basics.
what i do is put it on the root of my drive. for this example i will use c:\
what you do is cd to the folder with ADB and Fastboot tools.
1. cd c:\fastboot
2. fastboot reboot bootloader
3. fastboot flash recovery amonra315.img
4 fastboot reboot.
thats it.
uploading a mini fastboot and adb folder with everything you need to get you started. just need to make sure you have ADB drivers install, you can get them from "HTC sync"
give me like 5 min, my work blocks uploads so i need to ftp into it.
EDIT:
Here is the link to the mini adb and fastboot. link

Thanks, I will give this a try. THe amonra.ziip didn't work. Well I don't think it did. I flashed it in the bootloader, rebooted, tried to get into recovery and I get what looks like a syncing green icon, then it turns into the red triangle with exclamation point in it.
It worked. Thanks so much. You were right, the fastboot commands weren't too bad.

ok.. i have done some googling on this error but the only results were japanese.
i have 2 identical phones, one is bricked but can get into fastboot, the other is fully working and has root.
i have used the dd command to copy the boot, recovery and system images.
when i went to flash them system.img flashed fine, but boot.img and recovery.img are sent ok but fail on flashing with this error: "remote: size too large" and wont flash, but if i execute :"fastboot boot boot.img" the phone will boot into android.
i have tried the android control fastboot protocol and adb one with no luck.

Hi there,
First, could you tell me the name of the phone, plus your provider?
its a huawei ascend p1 lte (model number: U9202l-1) provided by t-mobile (or ee)

Okay,
My recommendation, nitros, would be to download the Android SDK, and try to flash the ROM yourself.
I will attach an XML file, that is the general syntax followed when flashing a device.
If you are running windows, download the android sdk, and open up command prompt as an administrator, and input the following commands:
cd \[put file path to the android sdk here]\sdk\platform-tools
And follow the steps provided in the XML file.
Good luck!
If this fails, let me know.
PS: Only input the operations that are located between <steps interface="AP"> and </steps>.
If the command says <step operation="flash" partition="sbl1" filename="sbl1.mbn" MD5="3273A6FDFDFA35D2E5FCE4B3FBB1764F" />, then you type in "fastboot sbl1 sbl1.mbn".
If the command says <step operation="reboot-bootloader" /> then you type in "fastboot reboot-bootloader".
If the command says <step operation="erase" partition="modemst2" />, then you type in "fastboot erase modemst2".
i have the sdk but now how do i get hold of the rom.
do i have to make it from a dump

heres what i did to get it working: get android control, start cmd in its directory, boot into fastboot (power and volume down) and type: fadtboot boot (where boot. img is located)/boot.img, if it boots good if not restart back to fastboot and type: fadtboot flash system.img and then boot boot.img.
when it boots, open android control and co to the flashing tab, flash boot.img first then recovery, if it works great.
the reason you need to use android control is because it runs a few more commands that stop it giving the error i made this thread for.

You will need mfastboot, adb, bootlogo - all.
I'll take no guarantee for bricking your device if you are doing something wrong!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I used the xt1080logo_fixed.zip.
Extract it.
If you have path of adb and mfastboot added to system variables, just shif+right click in the folder where logo file resides. Choose 'open command prompt here'.
Otherwise, copy logo file to mfastboot directory and open command prompt there.
Run theses commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
mfastboot flash logo logo_fixed.bin
mfastboot reboot
Replace the logo_fixed.bin with the name of logo you are flashing.

If you wish to create your own boot logo, then head to this :

If you do have a GPe DO NOT FLASH AN FTF it will result in a permanent hard brick. Look for DooMLoRD's return to stock thread in GPe development section, it will return you to stock 4.4.2 and then you can let it update from there.

Again I apologize for posting without refreshing my memory by looking up the older threads. There was two issues with my first post.
1. Stock recovery will not allow flashing older firmware as I mentioned.
2. There is an edited ota zip but it needs to be flashed with custom recovery, which I believe can only be used with an unlocked bootloader.
Hopefully fastboot flashing the system img does the trick.

I am positive I found the file and was able to copy and paste the path into adb, not sure if that works for fastboot.

I havent used windows (if I can help it) for near 15 years but something like
fastboot flash system C:\system_4.4.4.img
"remote:command not allowed" is probably because of the locked BootLoader, I thought that may happen
Do you know what the fole you deleted was? you may be able to adb push it back onto the system if the GPe boots far enough.
The only other options I can think of are:
Ask Sony for a singed update.zip of the full 4.4.4 (no patch files) so it can be flashed by the stock recovery
Or use adb to do an oem unlock* - but this will wipe DRM keys and render the camera without auto focus
* You could try and run TA backup, but I think it will fail to gain root to do the back up... can you get shell access to the device? "adb shell"
Gonna suggest something off the left field, but if you have access to stock recovery... Have you tried doing a full wipe? I mean, unless ypu royally messed something up elsewhere, flashing system would give you the same end result as a full wipe.
Hopefully this helps.

Some things I am wondering.
1. Can 5.0 update be flashed in stock recovery or would.it fail due to missing files?
2. Can a kernel with recovery be hotbooted to flash the edited 4.4.2 ota?
3. Can the 4.4.4 system img be flashed with flashtool?
4. Is there a fastboot command similar to "adb devices" that will confirm it is connected properly?
I swear that I had the same error trying to return GPe to stock using WIN 8.1 laptop, on WIN 7 desktop it worked fine.

1. Yes it can but you need to place the zip file in a folder that recovery will recognize (/cache or /sd)
2. Technically yes. However, you still need to be unlocked for that AFAIK.
3. I don't see why not
4. Flashtool will confirm if you have a properly connected devices
There are two rules in life for being successful:
1. Never reveal everything you know;
2.
