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.

is it in drivers/sk17? under that which one?

25/049/2013 18:49:56 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
25/049/2013 18:49:56 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

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)

that was win 8 problem, solved it now getting this error

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 a cwm v6. i haven't done a wipe data/system yet afraid the result might not be pretty.Now basically i have a phone which gets stuck in bootloop if opened normally and i can get into cwm but restoring gets stuck midway, so its not much use.
i tried using flashtool, when i connected in flashmod it recognised it but after 5 or 6 seconds the phone starts booting and the flashmod connectino breaks.
the xperiamini pro is rooted and bootloader unlocked. need help.

sry for my bad english
First of all I would thank Crowds he is the best reference that I've to return in case of any problem I face. (He doesn't sleep - any time I ask he immediately supports)
I bought Lenovo K910 and I've managed successfully to install new ROM "VIBEUI_v2.0_1443" and Gapps with Crowds support.
I advised two of my friends to buy this good and cheap phone. For one of them I installed the latest rom successfully. But with the other I had a big problem The phone stuck on Lenovo Logo.
I was trying to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 batch before installing my new ROM, but during installation and after the phone rebooting the batch command screen shows <Waiting for Device> and the phone is stuck on logo screen.
I tried to connect the phone to PC many times, but PC doesn't recognize the phone. When I try to turn off the phone by pressing the power buttons, the phone restart on logo screen like the shown in this video.
I've read in many site that I have to do the following:
Download and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
Just type on the command line without pressing Enter:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"][B][I]fastboot [COLOR="Plum"][STRIKE]boot[/STRIKE][/COLOR] recovery.img[/I][/B][/COLOR]
you should place your recovery image file in "minimal adb and fastboot" directory
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds - in my case the phone is restarting)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery command line
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my case when I press and hold power button the phone is restarting on logo screen so I have to wait for battery consumption
I tried many times with TWRP images but it failed...
I tried with CWM image and it succeeded to load, but I don't have otg cable to load recovery or ROM from usb storage (The problem was in installing TWRP and my ROM should has no problem)
I want to flash TWRP on phone not only loading by "minimal adb and fastboot".
I decided to flash TWRP 2.7.1.2 batch through modifying the batch file. I just used fastboot commands
Code:
[COLOR="blue"][I]fastboot oem device-info
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot [COLOR="Red"][U][B]flash[/B][/U][/COLOR] recovery data/recovery.img
fastboot flash aboot data/lock/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm data/lock/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 data/lock/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi data/lock/sdi.mbn
fastboot flash tz data/lock/tz.mbn
fastboot reboot[/I][/COLOR]
Finally I succeeded to install Recovery and phone works well in the new recovery mode and the system mode that I've not update it yet
I want to share you the problem solution in brief:
Download and extract this file "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2" from here
Just select without executing "flashrec_Modified.bat" file from the extracted files.
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds or wait for the battery to be almost empty)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery batch file
and as me the phone start the recovery mode in TWRP and can be rebooted in system without any problem
i must extract "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2 this file on phone or where? can u explain a

As long as the hardware is not physically broken, your K910 is unbrickable

You need to carefully follow each steps in the method - if you short that magic pin and then connect the USB cable (with battery disconnected), your computer will report seeing the device at either COM port 9008 or 9006. Then you can download the factory image to revive the phone. Of course you need to have the right device driver installed. Like I said, as long as the hardware is not broken, this procedure will succeed for sure.
I love you man!

But i can't get flashmode now... i try all the combinations, try in ubuntu 16, and windows 10... but nothing

Girlfriend tried to update her Sony Aqua M4 e2306...
she says that the boot loader was unlocked, and she installed the twrp update... and the root check came back rooted.... she powered off the phone and put it on a charger. ...
a few hours later she tried to restart it and only got the Sony Xperia screen then reboot loop.
I've spent 2 days reading everything that i can find and trying various solutions but most won't work because it won't stay connected long enough to use companion, adb, fastboot, bootloader, etc. When the devices is seen by pc it is only for a moment and comes up as a generic MTP device or a hard drive i can't open.
I can get the occasional green or blue lights and sometimes a generic battery symbol by powering off and pressing + or - with power, but never get a recovery or boot load screen... only alternating "sony Xperia" and darkness
also, Emily won't update.
I've tried multiple solutions using different versions of SDK, ADB, sony and xperia Companion, fastboot, bootloader, odin, pwm, and more on multiple machines from XP to Win10, but nothing seems to even make a dent!
I've removed the back and disconnected the battery for 2 hours and am currently trying to research a more physical hack/repair using riff jtag.
i see many people with "boot loop" issue , but no one seems to follow through and say how to get out if you don't have the option of booting to anything....

I've tried multiple solutions using different versions of SDK, ADB, sony and xperia Companion, fastboot, bootloader, odin, pwm, and more on multiple machines from XP to Win10, but nothing seems to even make a dent!
I've removed the back and disconnected the battery for 2 hours and am currently trying to research a more physical hack/repair using riff jtag.
i see many people with "boot loop" issue , but no one seems to follow through and say how to get out if you don't have the option of booting to anything....[/QUOTE]
I have the same issue. I have an unlocked bootloader and booted with boot.img. everything was fine for a day or two, and when I started to factory reset my phone it is causing bootloop issues. sony logo and black screen. It never appears on my computer when connected to use adb. Any idea on how to fix this?
My mob is not able to flsh the stock rom......der s a error showing cannot open bundle....help me out plz
When i do VolumeUp & connect my phone it connects to windows with blue led on phone and after ~6 seconds it just disconnects and shows battery charging thing
Try this, jesus bless you

Well, i've flashed the ftf file downloaded directly from xperifirm {E2306_26.3.A.0.131_R2C_Customized GEL_1294-3902}
-update-
some mysterious, magical stuff hapened and i entered fastbootmode
can boot recovery and boot.img from fastboot and now everything is fine
<3
thanks everyone
then, i've try to install root (following a tutorial for this device and this comp.) but i could not enter to FASTBOOT MODE
try using:
- (vol+) + (plug the phone)
-(power btn) + (vol+) + (plug the phone)
-(power btn) + (vol+) + (vol-) + (plug the device)
and the only thing that happened is: -Vibrate + sony logo ---> normal boot
----
Then i try to enter fastboot using the adb command {ADB REBOOT-BOOTLOADER}
but it just reboot normally (sony logo and then start normally)
[[ADB do recognize my device and all drivers were properly installed; but can't enter to fastboot mode]]
---
I've try to reflash my device again, but then i couldn't be able to enter to flashmode
{ with the device off; press vol- and then connect to usb}
after several attempts using - [(power btn) + (vol-)] i entered flashmode and reflash my device...
----
then i activate dev mode: [usb debuggin and OEM UNLOCK]
and try to get to fastboot mode, but the same results...
i got my device recognized by {ADB DEVICES}
but can't get fastboot
-----
Then the user who's helping me told me to reflash using this config
[in excludes section check all except AMSS_FSG, AMS_FS1, AMS_FS2,BOOT DELIVERY, KERNEL. Don't check anything else.]
But i can't get flashmode now... i try all the combinations, try in ubuntu 16, and windows 10... but nothing
the device starts normally nothing wrong.... except well, i can't enter any -mode- now...
any help?
Thanks

I'm having the same issue.
Anoyone knows how to fix? Maybe is a problem of the cable?
PD: Tested with official cabled and turning Off OEM unlock and still the same.

Not sure what your problem is exactly but it is most likely a problem with the cable or the s1 driver's(if your using window's?) one or the other ,
However i need to point out that you must have your OEM lock at the SWITCHED ON position(allow the device to be oem unlocked) or you will trip the frp at the next reboot and will have to reflash your firmware unnecessarily , so to sum up Oem unlock at the switched on position

the drivers are all installed correctly, I tried doing this with the OEM off and on and it did not work
none of the methods works, adb does normal boot
recovery reboot (and other apps) crash or boot normal too
volume (+) and power button only makes the phone vibrate (and sometimes the Sony logo appears)
I can't stress to you enough that Enable Oem need's to be on the "on position" so switch it on (allow the device to be oem unlocked)and leave it alone it's nothing to do with you not being able to get to fastboot. If you trip the frp on your phone you will not be pleased.
with that said with your phone switched on and USB DEBUGGING SWITCHED ON plug into your usb on computer open a command window and input the following command- adb reboot bootloader you will now see your blue light on the phone this means your sony is now ready for you to flash a custom recovery (assuming you have unlocked your bootloader ?)
Hi - have been searching these forums for days now but cant find a solution.
I am OK at flashing etc but am stuck now. Phone is stuck at Sony logo and won't go any further.
Phone is an Xperia M4 (E2303) and the bootloader is locked - have tried unlocking it but get 'Failed - command not allowed' so i'm guessing it is not unlockable!
I can't get into recovery (nothing happens when i try) and cant get into FlashMode either. I plug usb into phone while holding the volume down key. I CAN get into Fastboot mode which seems to work fine and is recognized ok by PC - drivers all installed ok.
Is there a way of flashing an FTF using Fastboot rather than Flashmode? or even installing any recovery. I have 32 and 64-bit Flashtool installed, i have FTF files and i have EMMA.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful - many thanks - ian
With bootloader locker you won't be able to flash anything. I had the same problem.
Desperately, my friend thought it was a good idea to put the phone on the refrigerator for a while.
Surprisingly, in the next day, I turned it on and the cold phone booted normaly and then I was able to set OEM unlock authorization on developer settings and unlocked the bootloader with sony unlock key.
Then I tried to flash a twrp, but I'm stuck back on boot loop again, and fridge didn't help this time.
Power OFF phone, then hold together for at least 30 sec in this order "volume down" + "volume up" + "power button". Then release 3 buttons and try to power on phone with power button. This procedure will revert your phone back to default settings.

Read this tread. It worked for me! Good luck!
Hi there,
Same problem as OP here.
I am trying to revive my wife ex-phone, model 2303 which has been forgotten for two years at least.
Stock rom
No root
Bootloader locked
Stuck at Sony Logo when starting up the phone.
Can boot in FastBoot (blue light) and is detected by PC
Can boot in FlashMode (green light) but PC doesn't detect anything. Nothing appears in Peripherals.
Any advices ?
What can be done in FastBoot mode with a locked bootloader ?

Also Xperia companion will install all needed drivers and could also recover device.

Thank your for your advices.
But in Flashmode the phone does not even appear in computer peripherals manager.
In FastBoot, Sony Emma does not detect phone neither.

Have you tried using an older version of flashtool ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Which version of flashtool would you recommend ?
Would it change anything as the phone is not detected in device manager anyway ?
Hi !
My friend yesterday gave me a phone, and asked that i could repair it.

Second thing that i tryied to do was install recovery via fastboot using
Minimal ADB and Fastboot .
I can see device as a :
CB5A20DPRA fastboot
But when i try to install recovery or boot.img i getting a :
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (11570 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.366s]
