Hi all,
I've been trying to downgrade my M4 to 26.1.A.1.128 so I can unlock the bootloader, root and install custom recovery and I'm getting a very strange issue.
Using flashtool I've been able to flash with no errors however when the phone boots it instantly freezes and then restarts infinitely.
I've tried re-flashing the whole rom again with no avail and just re-flashing just system and kernel with the same issue. I can seem to find anything that will bring it back to life.
Thanks for your help
right, nevermind.
I used the PC companion repair option and it's fixed it and kept me on 26.1.a.1.128

Hi guys, I believe my phone is bricked/stuck in bootloop and I need your help. I was trying to flash this ROM and just before I started to install, after I did a full wipe, the phone hanged, I did a soft-reset and my Sola got stuck in bootloop. I tried flashing .54 FTF stock ICS ROM, but Flashtool keeps giving me an error and aborts the flash. (also, after less than a minute, the phone will go out of flash mode and get stuck on Sony logo)
Is there another way I can flash back a stock ROM and unbrick my phone? Thanks in advance for the help, I hope you can help me out, I'm a total noob, it's the first time I tried to flash a custom ROM
EDIT: BTW, I hard reset the phone several times in attempt to turn it off and boot in flash mode, since the phone will not shut down.
2nd EDIT: I can't get into recovery either.
3rd EDIT: SOLVED using the x86 version of flashtool instead of the x64.
Dear XDA Members,
My P765 now is on Bootloop, it wont load the OS. Before it happened, the phone was fine with CM 10.2 and CWM Custom. I try to flash again an TWRP which can only use to flash CM 11 Unofficial. After i flash the recovery, it went normal. I restarted the phone, and the phone was working. I copy the CM 11 then i try to flash it by entering the recovery again, but the method just open the fastboot page, not the TWRP. and now the phone bootloop on LG logo. I try hard restart, and it couldnt work. i try to flash again the KDZ but the KDZ updater said my phone not recognized. Does anyone knows what should i do to fix my phone? :crying: Thanks before.
BR,
CR
HELP!!
Even my LG-p765 is stuck in boot loop... actulally ringing boot.
But for me it happened during flashing recovery for the 1st time (i used tool tip for doing it).:crying:
Now my phone shows LG logo (just for a second) and restarts. This keeps happening unless i pull out the battery.
Please post, if anyone know how to recover from this the ringing boot.
If you can manage to get into fastboot and flash uboot and xloader, then connect the phone on software upgrade mode, it should connect. Although there is a catch, THIS WILL RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER.
No, it won't. If he install kdz by normal usb cable (not 910k), he will still have unlocked bootloader.
Sorry if I broke any rules, first thread in XDA.
Have an old Z Ultra that was having sim slot issue, It was belong to my bro who recently upgraded to another phone. I factory reset it to wipe any user data or bugs that may cause by 3rd party softwares. immediately after reset, it went to bootloop, it will either stuck just before fully loaded into Android system or just after it. I can't seems to boot to recovery or bootloader to check anything, when pressing the down button with usb cable inserted, the green led blink for a split second then nothing. flash mode with blue LED is fine, I can flash ftf. I tried with PCC repair, the process completed, updated to latest 5.0.2 but again, bootloop, updating Android took dozens of reboot/bootloop to complete. the first time I tried, it managed to boot normally and I could do some setup but when I tried to shutdown, it took forever, so I do power + vol up to force shutdown...the bootloop came back and never boot normally again. I had tried using flashtools with a few different tft, the same thing, bootloop. this is one of the ftf : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798690
I had read a few threads in Z ultra section, many suggest to flash a ftf or PCC repair, most managed to solved with the aforementioned but not me. I didn't root or unlock the bootloader before, never tried any tweak to the system or any thing that might cause system corruption, ONLY factory reset. is this some hardware issue? but why only after factory reset? had tried several ftf, still the same bootloop. unless the issue is cause by recovery or any other hidden partitions/system that the ftf I tried didn't flash? battery is >80%. no sim I still can use it as display but bootloop, this is as useless as junk.
Anyone can offer a way to fix this?
TIA
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:

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.

Hello and Servus,
I recently got a Homtom from my neighboor to look at because its full of bloatsoftware and seems to have battery issuses.
First I tried to install TWRP by this guide "https://romprovider.com/2018/10/homtom-zoji-z7-root/" and this one "https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-zoji-z7/"
I was able to "install" twrp using adb but I was stucked in a bootloop after this, couldnt even get to recovery /twrp, so I tried my way with the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
Some problems where persistent and I couldnt connect my phone with the tool until I had to format it via.
After formating the phone and installing the stock rom I got from here "https://rootmygalaxy.net/stock-rom-on-zoji-z7-official-firmware/" I am now stuck even worse. I dont even have a bootloop, the phone just starts and goes off.
Even worse was it, after I tried to flash to a "higher" version I got from this post "https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/zoji-z7-4g-smartphone-t3613364" - I just got a display bug and couldn't do anything, so I flashed the stock rom again.
Right now the only thing that works is fastboot. If I try to boot it in recovery or else it just goes off.
Is there someone who can help me there ?
