Just gonna cut straight to the point.
Wiped my phone to flash a new ROM, selected 'Clean to install new ROM' but instead of then flashing a zip file, i went to Reboot Recovery.
I then hit No, thinking it would take me back to the main menu, but instead it continued to restart, and now it gets stuck on the Sony logo.
I've tried flashing completely stock ROMs and also this one which, those with similar issues has said worked for them, however nothing appears to be working for me.
It does seem to flash successfully, no error messages that i saw in Flashtool, but upon booting up it still get stuck at the Sony logo. Either just Sony (older ROMs) or Sony with Xperia at the bottom (newer ROMs), so i guess the ROM is installing fine, but there's something else that isn't?
The only way to shut down is holding down Power + Vol Up, and there is no LED light (green, purple, red) to notify of anything.
And because of this I no longer have recovery either, where I could just flash a new zipped ROM and be on my merry way.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
Ok so I hate when this happens, where I figure it out a few mins after I'm made a post (after stuffing around for several hours already).
I've just tried flashing several different ROMs again to no avail, tried once more and checked the two boxes in the Wipe options, seemed to take A LOT longer to flash, but it's now working fine
flash any ftf or chech here

Hey guys, im panicking like mad
Basically my xperia go (lotus) is stuck in a bootloop, Sony Logo > Cyanogenmod arrow and flying thingy logo > Sony Logo > Cyanogenmod..... and so on
My phone updated to android 4.0.1 ish, basically android 4 and became very slow
so i decided to change it to Cyanogenmod 9.1 (FreeXperia Project)
I rooted it, put CWM on it, went into recovery by holding down power down on sony logo, wiped cache and devin and something else, factory reset my phone basically and installed FXP213-cm-9-20130329-UNOFFICIAL-lotus on it
I faced a Status 7 problem while installing so i looked up how to get past it and deleted getprop lines from updater script
The phone finally updated, took about 10 seconds and it said the zip files was.. installed? or flashed? im not familiar with phone terms
basically it did what it was supposed to do, then i installed Gapps straight after without rebooting or anything, then after it was done i clicked reboot, my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on no matter what, if i held the power button, it vibrated once but nothing happened no light, no led, no screen
then i decided to go on flash tool and flash if thats the right term this file: ST27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Kernel
after this my phone turned on, the logo came on, then followed the cyanogenmod logo , after that the phone turned off and thats how the loop started
i panicked and flashed this file: ST27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_CE.ftf
this didnt do anything and my phone is still in a bootloop
Please help
Btw im really sorry, i am not very experienced with phone softwares, just computers, so not really sure what terms like kernel and flashing and rooting are, please explain stuff to me like youre speaking to a toddler:/
Thankyou in advance!

Hello, did u try to flash a kernel with cwm reco.. and after it, in cwm format system/data/cache/dalvik/.. and install from the cwm an other cust.. rom wich is is installing without any error ?
.. I will try it tomorow because i fuc*ed my phone via the speedy droid.. I took the boot.img to the FXP213...rom.zip and now im at black screen, with an unlocked bootloader.. but first i must to find drivers to my st27i to fastboot mode, because i reinstalled my pc, and no drivers -.-
Haven't found the need to try a custom ROM myself but I don't read anywhere in your post if you've unlocked the bootloader. Maybe that's it? Maybe not. If it's still locked you could probably try repairing via SEUS.
Tapped on a not-so-stock ST27i ICS.
news ?
any news ?
You will be able to repair with SEUS. Just keep swapping USB ports and trying again and again. It will work eventually. :good:
Usually this happens because the instructions aren't followed properly. ie "you must wipe dalvik cache" or similar. Read carefully.
Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with my S6500, or rather my younger brother has.
He tried to put on his S6500 (not D, this phone is with NFC) Cyanogenmod 10.1, after some ups and downs, he finally got it to work, but... camera wasn't working, it was said on the cyanogenmod page to flash with the newest update, he did that, phone worked good... almost, after he was blocking his screen, he couldn't unlock it, because there was some kind of white screen stuff, weirder was the thing, that he could hear all the *clicking* sounds as he was trying to unlock. He had to restart the phone every time after he blocked the screen, so he wanted the phone to function normally and tried to put his stock ROM back again. Well the flashing went well (as Odin showed) but the phone stucked in bootloop.
The phone showed the Orange logo (he is using his original stock rom from Orange Poland, downloaded from sammymobile) and then it quickly changed to Samsung logo, after that the phone vibrates once, and after that it vibrates 3 times really fast and restarts from the Orange logo.
He tried to get into Recovery mode, but coul;dn't (the phone doesn't react to any of the combinations we found - vol+,vol-, home and power and many others), and as I forgot to mention before, after every flash (while the recovery was working) he cleared data in menu of the recovery.
We also tried the different method to boot the phone into recovery mode (put it in Download mode, which works and then instead of going further by pressing vol+ we pressed the down button and held vol+,vol- and home button, but instead of going into recovery the phone booted in weird screen with small letters RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9 mode).
We tried several times to flash new recovery with Odin, but it doesnt work, the PIT file also doesn't work, or can someone provide me with the stock s6500 PIT file as I couldn't find one, because I read in the Polish forum, that screen mentioned before only shows up if there is a SuperUser app in the phone, so we need the PIT file to flush it.
So the problem is after flashing it with numerous cwm and original stock roms we couldn't get it to boot or to get into recovery menu, or get it working.
Also the hardware is all ok, as the phone is almost brand-new ( he got it from the Orange few months ago).
So help plz?
I have the very SAME problem with my S6500D. Same as described above.
Anyone has managed to fix this problem ? I have all needed tools.
I tried updating my ROM (to CM11) and came across so many issues. For some reason, it kept rebooting and then at one point just got stuck at the animation screen. So I decided to just start everything from scratch again.
I tried to get into download mode to install CWM, but the phone kept shutting off as soon as I got in. After MANY tries, I finally got in and got it installed. When it finally worked, I tried to get into recovery mode and the same thing happened. Finally after many tries I was able to get in there too. I then installed my ROM and then when it finally loaded, the phone then shut off and tried rebooting but wouldn't get passed the animation screen again.
I did a lot of research and found that some people had their internal power button either get stuck or become defective. Mine clicks so I don't know if that's the problem, but the symptoms that others have mentioned have all happened to me.
Does this in fact sound like a button issue to anyone? Any help is appreciated.

Seems like your hardware button could be broken, I would all do in this order:
Download Philz Touch Recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
Official Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28378
Flash Philz touch through Odin
Reboot to Recovery, selct "Clean to install a new rom"
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Go to downoad mode and flash the md5.tar file through odin
Ok, so something seems to have gone very wrong with flashing my phone :S
I managed to get recovery working yesterday, and followed the steps in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155 , to create a pre-rooted 5.0.2 image. I put it on the external SD card, booted into recovery and installed the flashable zip, then used flashtool to flash with the instructions (though I also cleared Appslog, Cache and Data to get a fresh install). This went fine and everything appeared to be ok. I then tried to get the Xposed Alpha installed, but after that whenever the phone was rebooting it just hung if trying to boot to Android. I tried re-flashing with Flashtool, but still got the same issue. Would boot fine the first time, but then any restart it would just hang and crash out. Tried clearing the cache from recovery, but no difference.
So today, I went into recovery, re-installed the flashable.zip, then powered off the phone and flashed using flashtool, just as I had yesterday. Now though, my phone wont boot. It shows the Sony logo, then a blank screen, then restarts. Even worse, it will no longer boot into recovery. I hold the volume down button when the LED shows, nothing. I try holding the volume down button all the way through several bootloops, nothing.
I've tried to re-flash using flashtool which goes through the process ok, I can hold the volume down button and connect the cable once its in the process of rebooting, and it goes through all the process fine. It then powers off as expected and I can just disconnect and power on the phone. But it's still stuck in the bootloop and I don't have TWRP recovery.
Is there anything I can do to get my Z2 working?
Update - Re ran flashtool, this time not excluding system, only Partition. It now gets a little further, going to "Powered by Android" and giving the purple wavy lines, but after a minute or so it just hangs and restarts again. And still no recovery sadly....
I think I've got it sorted...
Used Flashboot again to do a flash, excluding System and Partition. This time the phone does boot up normally. The downside being that my root was gone. Despite my flashing a pre-rooted image, it seemed to just put a stock image on. And my recovery is still mysteriously gone.
In the end, just to get things completely back to a stable/stock starting point for later on, I ran a repair from PC Companion. Seems I was in the none rooted position anyway so figured I'd get myself to a more certain position. At least this way I can wait for someone to come up with a root for 5.0.2 so I can root and get recovery back.
Here's a timeline:
-Got the phone, worked fine
-Unlocked bootloader, rooted & installed TWRP
-Installed unofficial Android 7 as described here
-After a couple of days I got tired of the bugs and decided to revert to Android 6.
-Installed unbloated rom, can't remember which one
-Phone worked fine.
-After a day or so of use, I rebooted the phone, and it would not go past Sony logo (black text on white background)
Here's what I have tried, in a somewhat chronological order:
-Holding combinations of up/down/power
-wiped dalvik/cache
-reinstalled same unbloated rom
-reinstalled stock rom through Flashtool (tried android 5.0 and 6.0 roms, neither worked)
-Completely wiped OS and reinstalled stock rom- up to this point I could still boot into TWRP
-Relocked bootloader and tried repairing through PC companion (said it was successful, but the phone is still stuck on Sony logo).
This is where I am at now. Any help would be appreciated, if I can provide additional data I will.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I don't know if it is relevant, but the phone always gets really hot- at least 70 degrees, sometimes up to 90 according to TWRP.
If it's stuck on the boot logo it's alive. Can you enter recovery, wipe every single partition and then flash ftf with wiping everything including cust-reset

The thing is, I can't get into recovery through holding the vol up and power buttons. When I do, the phone just vibrates once and reboots (or if I hold it longer, it vibrates 3 times and switches off).
Should I wipe everything through TWRP? Is there a way to wipe through adb?

Hi DavidMKD,
I'd like to answer as well because I'm stucking at the same point but with an E2333.
I've wiped every single partition by TWRP and then flashed with an official ROM downloaded from xperifirm.
No changes at all.
I'm wondering it is hard issue, maybe changing the battery ?
It is true as well that the side under the back camera it's very hot when the phone start.
I didn't find any advices works. The only way to talk correctly with the phone is to flash it or root it, then any OS are unusable, in my case 5 mn max.
If I can help to have another try in your experience...
Thx in advance
Hi guys,
I think I've found a turnover to arrange everything, described in a thread :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/help/xperia-m4-e2333-startup-logo-bootloop-t3696032
Hope it helps
