Bootloop after Custom ROM installation. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. Recently I've got into a problem. I'm using Xperia Z3 compact. One day I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone. After that I installed Lineage OS for z3 compact. It works fine, but when I flashed my old ROM I got stuck in the boot-animation (blue waves). I wiped cache,data and dalvik several times. I've left the phone on that animation for 2 hours and nothing. Tried other stock ROMS, but all have the same problem. Lineage can still be installed, and isn't getting stuck. Tried installing Carbon Rom, and it works fine too. But when it comes to stock roms the phone gets stuck at the animation. Tried locking the bootloader and using software repair on Xperia Companion, but I'm getting an error. Tried with Flashtool by androxyde. Everytime when I connect my phone in flashmode, the flashing stars and then it says
Error : null
error : flashing aborted.
Help will be appreciated.

bro lineage os is fine

I tried. Flashtool gives me the same error everytime. Using TWRP, just custom roms load, the stock roms get stuck.

I think you need to modify updater script, if you wanna flash Stock roms via twrp.

[Q] Bricked x10 HELP!

Hello guys,
as a last resort I turn to you for help. Have been searching for the answer for the last 2 days. I am running CWM-based Recovery v.6.0.1.1 and have a rooted x10 together with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed the recovery without any problems and installed miui v4 but an older file which was very unstable (without any problems). Then I decided to install the newer version so i downloaded it, placed it on my sdcard and in the same recovery flashed rom. Unfortunately I had my usb cable plugged in all the time (during installation). Installation got stuck in the middle and nothing could be done so i removed the battery and started the phone again (this time without the usb cable). When I tried to reinstall that rom again it gave me status 7 error installation aborted, assert failed:getprop,error in sdcard and things like that. So I tried the ROM which had already worked on my phone but received exactly the same message. What is more usb storage mounting in the recovery doesnt work anymore (but it already worked!). Now the problem is that I don't have any system installed and when i try to flash the recovery again, flashtool does not recognize my phone (so does windows) and so it leads me nowhere. I think this is definitely problem with the recovery, after the failed attempt to install rom when i had to remove the battery it does not behave normally. Is there any way that I can maybe install another recovery from .zip - i do not even know whether it will install or just sends me another error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When I want to flash .tft file and i go to flash mode it does not recognize my phone in windows even though I have installed all the necessary drivers. It starts to flash but then says flashing aborted (this did not happen before, i could flash without any problems). Another problem is that i do not have any rom installed right now so i cannot even switch debugging on and if i remember right, i left debugging off in my previous rom.
Use Sony Update Service. Download from Sony site and install on PC. Follow the instruction, and this will reflash Stock Rom and Kernel (GB 2.3.3). Then, with latest Flashtool, first Root phone again, then flash whatever you want (custom kernels, roms..). You don't need to unlock bootloader again. It remains unlocked.

have you tried going into CWM recovery, factory reset wipe, and flashing it again, or are you just flashing it on top?

Possible Brick PLEASE Help!!

First off my tablet is the Xperia Sony Tablet Z Wi-Fi Only. And i'm new to Sony devices
I started rooting and unlocking the bootloader. I rooted this tablet with DoomLords Rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333566 it all went perfect. After that I started to unlock the bootloader with the sony instructions http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ .
Then, i was trying to get a custom recovery, I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433466 and it installed.
And lastly I was looking for a Rom this is where it all messed up.... I was looking for Pollux_Windy roms which are for the Xperia Tablet WiFi Only Right???? So i downloaded a rom and when I tried to install it thru the recovery it kept telling me Failed because I was using a Pollux not a Pollux_Windy. I tried 4 roms and same error. After that I though i should try a Pollux rom and that was a mistake.. I tried to install Cm11 for pollux and it gave me something about metadata error( I don't really remember) and the installation aborted, I restarted and Now its on a bootloop.. The Sony logo keeps popping up and it restarts.. Is there anyway to fix this?? Is there like any guide like on the galaxys that u can just go to download mode and odin back to stock and its all good?

I would try to re-lock the bootloader and use the pc companion to put all back to normal....
Or you can try with flash tools if you don't want to re-lock.
I've completely bricked mine, I was on your situation and I start to hack as if I knew what I was doing... Now I wish I did a step back first, and start over...

XPERIA P: Can't get past the SONY logo

Hi, few month ago, I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my phone, and installed CWM and CM 11.
It was quite buggy, and OTA updates didn't work, and I needed something more stable.
Yesterday, I wanted to reboot into recovery, and try flashing SlimKat or a newer CM if I don't like the Slimkat.
The combination of keys for Recovery didn't work and there wasn't any reasonable way to get around it.
On adb, the phone got detected, but offline, so I wasn't able to reboot into recovery this way.
Fast forward couple of hours, I have tried flashing about everything, but didn't manage anything besides being able to pass adb commands.
Now,
- when I turn on the phone the phone hangs on the Sony logo and I have to force turn it off
- I get the phone on ADB even when it keeps hanging on the Sony logo
- I can get into Fastboot by holding the up button on conneting to computer
- I have flashed the boot.img from CM11 for XPeria P to bring CWM back, but didn't happen, or did happen, but I can't get into recovery
- "adb reboot recovery" brings me to the same old hanging SONY logo.
- pushing whatever on boot doesn't help > SONY logo
Please help!
Why not just flash stock with flashtool?
[SOLVED] Partially...
I have downloaded FTF file for the device, and manage to flash it using Flashtool (worked only if I flashed incl. Kernel) and got the device up and running. I tried reflashing CM and Slim again, but none worked as I still wasn't able to get into recovery, so I reflashed once more. Finally, the device is working - with the stock firmware, at least...

This is a solution. When you flashing CM you need to flash CM kernel too. In some cases kernel needs to be flashed several times(for example before flashing CM and after flashing it).
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks a lot for explanation. I'm happy to have the stock now, and will probably stick with it for the time being.

CM 14 won't Boot. Tried Flashing it multiple times!

1) cm-14.0-20160914-UNOFFICIAL-onyx.zip, 2) cm-14.0-20160917-UNOFFICIAL-onyx.zip
These are the 2 cm14 zips that I tried to flash multiple times (using twrp 3.0.2.0). The flash was successful everytime. But no matter how hard I try, it just won't boot. Just stays stuck on the OnePlus logo for eternity. I just recovered my phone from a soft-brick (no OS, no Recovery) and still continuously trying since days to use cm14.
Please, if anyone can then PLEASE HELP!

Most Roms now require you too flash OOS 3.1.3 first. Like mentioned above bootloader issue.

I already flash the OOS 3, but still this problem continues.
File name: OnePlusXOxygen_14_OTA_015_all_201608181615_e03d2112e8ad4bff
Is there any other way how I can manually upgrade my bootloader? That would really help.

I use Oxygen_14_OTA_18_all but there's a couple files posted on the bootloader upgrade threads that allow you not too flash the whole firmware just the partions you need to upgrade.
i am having same issue i was on oxygenos 3.1.3 firmware when i started to flash nogut roms every nogut rom works except cm. i flashed official cynogenmod 14.1 thinking that problem must have been solved but it wont boot it just shows oneplus logo. i have waited for 30 minutes but nothing happened if something worked out for you please tell me.
Well I've looked around XDA for soultion and this is it.
CM 14 has some Kernel problems, so only what you have to do is just install new kernel as Arsenic or Black Reactor kernel
I was running the new bootloader on cm13 nightlies and couldn't get it to boot either.
Even after a full wipe and reflash with v7 gapps
Gave up in the end and went back to the last cm13 Nightly
flash arsenic kernel after flashing rom and gapps it will boot. Read the posts in ashwin's official cm 14.1 thread.
Flash Black Reactor (recommended) or Arsenic Kernel.
The zip files that you have for CM are the unofficial ones. So I guess they're from Sarthak Narang. Or at least one of them. Those ROMs require the older bootloader to function. So if you have the newer bootloader, it won't work.
