Someone please help me! My phone has been dead for 2 days, and I tried every written method to revive it, but no luck, its stuck in a bootloop, and I cant do anything with it..
The problem started, when I flashed an official ftf in flashtool. Since then, its stuck in a bootloop. It gets to the dancing xperia lines stage, but then it just reboots, and starts again. I tried flashing like 13 different ftf s, and no change.
My phone had an unlocked bootloader, and I was on a working nougat rom, I just decided to go back zo the official rom, by flashing an OG 5.1.1 ftf, then when it booted up, it got to the stage when it says updating android apps, and when it finished that, it just rebooted, and started it again and again.
Someone please help me what to do :crying:

Why have you got 3 threads about basically the same thing running concurrently.
Your time would be better spent reading the rules and searching........than spamming.
Help!
I have an Xperia P. I decided to try cyanogenmod using the freeXperia projects fine work.
However I have seriously messed up it seems. After following the tutorial on DooLords page I encountered an small error, the Cyanogenmod 9 boot screen got stuck. No big deal. Apparentl this can happen. So i thought that I wouldn't risk doing anything more and would go back to the safety of my rooted Stock Rom.
Now however I have a bootloop of Sony going to Cyanogenmod. The phone now says that it is NOT rooted meaning that i can't flash any other kernels or roms to return to normal. I am at a dead end. I am a first time poster, a bit of a noob, but frequent visitor to the forums. Iwould really appreciate anyones assistance.
Bro, not rooted doesnt mean you cant flash kernels. I suggest you to use flashtool and fash official stock rom and thats it.
Bootloop
Bro what does flashtool say when you connect it to the computer??
Plz giv details....

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have sorted the problem. However I'm not exactly sure how. I had flashed a kernel that had relocked the bootloader i think meaning that I couldn't flash any rom through flashtool. Then when the phone started to run out of battery I couldn't even get to fastboot mode or flashmode. I left it overnight on charge with the bootloop running over and over again which gave me enough juice to reflash. All back to normal now. Phew!
So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
Hello guys,
I am in great need of your help.
About 6 months ago I have successfully installed Lupus kernel and Octane ROM on my Satsuma, bootloader unlocked. Yesterday I have decided to change it to Kappa 1.6 kernel and Fluorescent Feather ROM, unfortunately it's quite difficult.
So I've got Flashtool, followed the tutorials and flashed kernel. Then when rebooting I entered Recovery and followed Saqib Nazm instructions in his thread. Installation was ok and it had prompted me to finish Setup. I went through all 7 steps but at the end I got "Unfortunately Setup Wizard has Stopped. OK" the phone itself was blank. I couldn't switch it off, so I took the battery out, then switched it back on but the phone is hanging on that pretty wave animation on the beginning.
What to do now ?

You either got bootloop or brick. Try to enter recovery mode to recover your ROM. If you can't enter it, I'm afraid you have to flash the whole ROM from the very start..
Better to install backup of previous rom which was working fine for you..

It is not good!
Hello I'am back with very bad news.
since the last post I have tried for hours to come with some kind of result, but to no avail.
*I've tried to install stock ROM - flashable zip in Recovery, phone gone dead!, I've managed to get to Recovery and installed FF ROM (no back up done prior, idiot) phone stuck on Android upgrade
*I've decided to download FTF, extracted it, used Flashtool - all drivers done too, but my phone can't get to flashmode, it is switching itself on/off constantly.
*yes I do have Kappa kernel, but it's not possible to finish ROM installation, the Setup wizard crashes every time at the end and the phone is blank, without ROM.
any ideas folks?

yup... that's bootloop... flashing the FTF without changing the kernel back to which one it was or the compatible one with the FTF you flashed will only cause your phone keep restarting (bootloop).
since you didn't backup your ROM, the only option is to flash the firmware from very beginning.
Flash the FTF, and also flash the kernel. you will get your phone back to the very start of your phone just like it was when you bought it.
Problen Solved
ok, so the bootloop is solved,
I do not know how I managed to do it. After hours of trying I installed another ROM - Flawless ISC v4 and keeping Kappa kernel. As I said before, no idea how, just endless trying because I love my Satsuma.
Thanks very much for help
I'm having strange problems with an I9300 I'm trying to fix for friend. Now unfortunately I end up doing things like this not because I know anything about these things, but because I'm I'm slightly more computer literate than the rest of my group of friends, so I'll apologise now if these are stupid questions, I have searched but could find nothing.
Now last night my friend comes to mine with his phone stuck in a boot loop. Now beyond the fact it already had a custom ROM on it I can tell you nothing except he claims he installed AVG and it happened. So I reboot into Windows, start up Kies, and see what I can do. Which so far has been:
1) Try to perform an Upgrade and Initialisation. Jump through the hoops, end up with the message "This device's version cannot be updated."
2) Ok, that didn't work. Hit sammobile to find a stock rom and fire up Odin. Ohh success...
3) Oh noes, too soon. The Samsung chime cuts off early and it's stuck with a pulsating logo.
3) Ok well maybe a downgrade first? Get a 4.1 stock rom and try again. Odin sees no problems again, the chime plays fully. But nope, it's just a longer boot loop.
4) After much head scratching and just trying random stuff I end up finding CM9.1 will boot fully, but the EFS data is screwed. This is the only rom I've found so far that will boot.
So from where I started I'm closer and if the radio worked this would be fine. Now the only suggestion I've heard to get the radio working is flashing a stock rom through Kies but I have no idea how to get Kies to play along. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Your downgrade screwed the efs, flash 4.3 and pray it is still readable.
Your mistake was to not factory reset after the first Odin flash.

I did actually try that before flashing 4.3 with Odin and after. Was still stuck in a boot loop... :/
