boot loop flare s play - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone can help me? I've tried to root my cherry mobile flare s play, I've flash twrp on it but it always boot in recovery it doesn't boot in system partition so I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, still doesn't boot so I tried flashing another recovery/rom and it just get worst it's now stuck in boot loop I've already tried the abd reboot-bootloader and always fall in error: device not found., I hope someone notice my case. thanks

Hello, this happens when the system is actually corrupted
you may reflash stock then twrp then root again
or just get a custom recovery for your device
you must go in bootloader for stock rom or twrp for custom rom, and that's fine your phone just needs a rom and its good to go
good luck

but how can I boot it on bootloader? key combinations like vol+ and power or any combo doesn't work, only if someone can teach me how to boot it on bootloader or fastboot then there would be no problem for me, I don't know what to do now

Hello again, take out the bettery then put it back and use the bootloader combo
if it didnt work take out the bettery and flash through sp flash tool
nothing to worry about, i didnt notice that your phone can be flashed through sp flash, since it just requires the phone to be off
not really such a scary situation

sp flash for my knowledge would work even when the battery is out it doesnt matter, just load the scatter press download button and connect the phone with battery off
good luck again:highfive:

in my case I can't flash even a recovery image using sp flash tool. any help? sorry if I look like an ignorant any way thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate

no no problem, however what's the problem ?

I'm trying to flash a custom recovery on it but it doesn't work, I'm trying to flash twrp, the one I've flash before, because I don't have the stock rom of my device so I'm doing the process partially. I'm aiming to flash twrp and then restore my saved back up.

Hello,
i think your device stock frimware is there on google, however when you try to flash what error does it give or what happens ?

It doesn't show any error message and not showing any progress at all. my device just blink showing that the battery is charging though the battery is not present.

if it didnt detect it try pressing the volume up or volume down to make sure while connected ( and download button is pressed

just blink until it reaches time out.

I'm sure that my cable is working, it works on other device. I already install all the drivers I need.

is there a way to stop my device from simultaneous booting? it appears to be detected on device manager but just for a few sec, then reboot and appear again.

ensure the ROM is loaded properly in the flash tool.
Switch off the phone and remove battery.
press the start button in the flash tool to initiate the ROM flashing process. The process will be in hold, waiting for the phone to accept the new firmware.
Now connect the phone to computer.
Try these. Press and hold VOLUME DOWN OR VOLUME UP OR POWER+VOLUME UP OR POWER+VOLUME DOWN. One of these should work and the flashing process should start.

can I obtain the stock rom from the same device? I have the same model and it works properly. I can't download the stock rom from mediafire it always fail due to poor internet connection so I'm looking for another way.

I tried updating my driver then my device was recognized but when I flash the recovery image it displays 100% but in red color.

X10 bricked Help Please

Hi friends,
I think I have bricked my X10i B'cuz the phone is struck at the Sony Ericsson logo.
What I tried to do?
I was in tripndoid MIUI, so I wanted to upgrade the rom to black edition, so I tried to unlock the boot-loader, I had successfully downgraded the firmware and unlocked the boot-loader and also updated to custom kernel (doomloard)
After that I got in CWM recovery mode and installed the .zip file after cleaning the system cache and dalviks cache, Now the phone refuses to start nor get into flash mode.
I tried removing the battery and reinstalling the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on the phone lights up at the Sony logo.
Even If it try to charge the phone from the electrical socket, the led of the phone does not turn on, it still gets into the Sony logo and stops there.
The phone gets recognized in the flash tool, its tells the phone is in ADB mode. I cannot put the phone on flash mode anymore.
I tried looking in various threads, but could not get a concrete answer, please help. I have limited access to internet, So i do not have PC companion to try and repair my phone. Is there any way that I can get back my phone alive.
Edit: I just plugged it in, I can get into flash mode.. Anyone please help me how can I flash back to any rom..
Did you flash the upgrade firmware after downgrading and unlocking firmware? Sometimes the Kernel doesn't support certain ROMs as well and it can't boot into the system.
The easy method of flashing the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool. Simply download and install it (you might have to turn off anti-virus software as it's listed as a virus of some kind) and install the stock SE 2.3.3 firmware and press flash. Instructions will pop up and your phone will be as good as new. It does mean that you lose everything like ck, recovery, unlocked bootloader, etc.
You can find the Flashtool and the stock firmwares here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
EDIT: To do flashing, you will have to turn the phone off. The X10 may turn on when you reinsert the battery too soon, like you have described. Generally, you should take the battery out for about 5 seconds before reinserting it so the phone actually turns off and doesn't turn back on.
Good luck and don't forget to hit thanks if this helped in some way
@ Panzerfaust101 - I have already hit thanks
I figured it out myself.. here is how I made it through..
Problem - was in the Kernel, just out of some instinct I downloaded Doom's kernel v.006 and some how got the phone into flash mode and flashed the kernel.
After that I was able to navigate into recovery and install the new ROM, but my problem did not stop. Now the phone got struck in the new RoM's startup screen.
So again I downloaded the right version of Doom's kernel for the RoM and flashed it again. So I got the problem solved, but I realized the phone radio was not working, So I again downgraded the firmware and ran the bootunlocker and then updated the phone back to the right kernel.
Now I am able to enjoy the new ROM.
Yeah, it should be your ck. I flashed a ck before (can't remember which one), but for one reason or another, I couldn't get cwm-based recovery working, so I tried another one which couldn't boot anything up properly, so I'm back on stock 2.3.3 (was on the MIUI-based BlackHD Edition. Brilliant ROM btw) waiting for beta+ CM9 ROM for X10 to be released
Btw, for future reference, can you link me the exact Doom ck that you used? I'm probably going to install a custom ROM on mine again and I need to know one that will be guaranteed to work without a problem. Thanks
Cool, you will need Doom's kernal - X10_FXP_DooMKernel-v05a-BootManager-v1.3
Also hope you have the bootlocker unlocked, if not you need to use X10_aZuZu_Kernel_Downgrade_Generic firmware and unlock the boot loader after that you can directly upgrade the firmware to Doom's kernel and install the RoM.
Thanks to DooM and aZuZu for the files.

i've your same problem...how i can plug-in in flash mode?
Try this trick!!!
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 5-10 secs
You should have quick fingers, so that you should select the firmware or any update within those ten sec's. Keep trying this will work... BTW its was the only way I could revive my phone.
but pc don't recognize my x10...

Is that the method you use to flashing? I've seen it quite a lot on these forums, but I haven't personally used it before and I've been curious as to what they did. Generally, don't you prepare to flash by pressing the flash button on Flashtool and following the instructions that pop up? i.e. disconnect and turn off phone, hold back button, reconnect phone. I've always used this method for flashing. Doesn't it work properly for some devices?
Also, if the battery's out and the flashing takes 10+ seconds, what happens? does it stay on once it's detected a device flashing the firmware?

The ten seconds isnt a standard just a rough idea. Yeah the flashtool way is proper way to enter flashmode it just that the USB socket on this model isn't the best, many people had problems and basically just found their own way around it.

Pleeease, I need help.
My x10 enters in flash mode with the green led, but it still only 10 seconds on, after that change to SE logo and that's it...I think that it's because it ran out of battery...any solution for this!?!?
After that I can leave it connected by USB but still being with the SE logo and it doesn't seem that the battery is charging.
Even if I take off the battery, put in again and simply connect it by USB the SE logo shows again...I don't know what else to do...

Kind of a late reply, apologies for that. Yes I followed the same method as listed. Some times your method works but not always!!!
If the battery is below 5% i believe the system will not get you into the flash mode. Since flashing hardly takes few seconds, I suppose the available battery will hold on.
BTW my trick starts only after I get into the flash tool

I don't think its cuz of a battery issue, It cuz of kernel issue. Kindly give a backdrop of what you are trying to do? Might be helpful to correlate the actions.

Yes mate I tried the same tool that you have posted. Yeas I did upgrade the firmware to custom kernel and then went ahead with the installation.
Try this link : http://www.mediafire.com/?3ol6gpykaa5acwo
Thank 7hr08ik for this link. Please use the FXp kernal, not DooM.
Major update is that DooM kernel version that I had installed was completely a phone crasher, So I had to update the kernal and the RoM for a newer version.
Right now I am using FXP kernal with v3 of the blackedition HD v1.3 RoM, So far So good

rom manager soft brick

after flashing Resurrection Remix v2.1 rom,
I tried to enter recovery-mode using the Rom Manager app.
my device stooped functioning.
when trying to use it, all I got was the Samsung logo for 3 sec
and afterwards the screen blinked every few seconds.
fortunately download-mode was available.
so I managed to get out of this mess with Odin and stock ics 4.0.3.
I strongly suggest that you DO NOT USE Rom Manager.

What's the purpose of these steps?
I heard it's for entering the download mode.
But I can enter the download mode without difficult.
My problem is that I can't enter recovery mode and boot normally even after I flash stock roms by odin.

from what you've wrote - your case is nothing like the one I had.
I'm trying to help, not to annoy you.
I read that the battery procedure is recommended at such a case.
http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/
and it helped me before.
it's quick and cheap - what have you got to lose ?
if it doesn't help, double check that the rom you've flashed is for your device.
it's always good to check the rom's file md5.

[Q] Xperia P stuck on boot

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I've tried to install a custom ROM today and I'm afraid I managed to brick my phone (Xperia P). Here is what i did:
I started out according to the Starters guide:
-Rooted phone
-Installed CWM
-Made a backup
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Installed JB Moonbreaker 3.5: at this point I was actually still following the starters guide, as in: wiping cache, wiping data,wiping dalvik cache and then installing from zip.
-The phone is currently stuck on the loading screen that comes after "Sony" and "Xperia" (the colorful swirling thingie)
-I can only shut it down by pressing and holding the power and volume up keys until it vibrates 3 times in a row.
-Starting with pressing volume down key repeatedly will not bring up CWM (also gets stuck on the same screen).
-Will also not fastboot anymore properly. (waiting for device for "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"; LED on device will not even light up as blue, goes to green instantly)
-In Device Manager I can see it as "Android" with a yellow exclamation mark.
-Sony PC Companion gives me the "My Sony Xperia P LT22 is connected" popup every 15 seconds but will actually not show the device as connected
I'm wondering if I can flash a stock rom on it to recover it or if there is anything else that can be done.
Thanks in advance

Can't seem to get it flashed from flashtool. I'm pressing the back button and connecting the USB and I'M just getting the same stuff on the phone, while flashtool is waiting for the phone.
I did manage to enter fastboot again though. Should I be flashing CWM from here (since I can't enter it). Or kernel then rom? I'm a bit lost.

Not back button.
Or flash a kernel by fastboot mode, enter CWM and install the ROM (assuming you have the zip file in the SD card )

No luck. I get a green LED and nothing happens. If I hold down volume down for really-really long then I'm back to the same boot animation.

yes green LED it is,
i hope you had the flashing process ready at the PC right ?
First make sure your phone is shut down. long press power+vol up until you feel 3 vibrations.
From there you can try fastboot mode or flash mode.

Alright done all that, still is the same. I've started to play with other USB ports and I noticed that when I get connected it tries installing the SEMC Flash device driver. It fails with "device unplugged" message exactly at the same time when when the Sony logo appears. Then it tries installing MTU USB Device as well. Reinstalled flashtool drivers and tried in different ports. It seems as if the phone is not staying in flashmode?

I recall I had that issue with wundows 7 at the beginning, what I did then was to boot my windows xp and managed to flash from there.
I have tried many things since, and if I am not mistaken it's installing flahtool drivers that fixed it finally.
I think there are 3 drivers there you need to install.

you can use emma flash tool by sony to flash your device once u get into flashboot mode(vol down den insert usb cable)

did you tried to flash the rom over ICS, if yes then thats why your p got stuck at boot, coz i too got the same prob, when i tried to flash the JB moonbreaker over ICS, so what i did was pressed the power button and volume up button till 3 vibration, start flashtool and flash stock ICS firmware, but don't uncheck wipe data, otherwise you will get bootloop, after flashing is complete, now download and flash stock JB firmware, root your phone using doomlord's easy root kit or any other way you know, install cwm and now reboot into cwm flash JB stock or custom kernel and then the rom, thats it, just let me know if the prob is solved, thanks

Thanks everyone for the input, issue resolved, kernel and rom flash was successful.
Stuck on boot
Guys I have the same problem.
I wasn't satisfied with the rom I put on my phone so I went on to put another one on it.
Flashed the kernel with fastboot, went into cwm, deleted system, cache etc. and went on to flash the rom, but there was no rom zip there, and I was sure I had put it. It was probably an error during the copy procces and it just stopped, I assumed it copied.
Well, now it is just stuck on the boot screen. I can get into fastboot and cwm, but I have nothing to flash.
I tried using the Sony recovery "Emma" but it just stays blank when I connect the phone..
Is there something else I can do?

Hi
I think im facing a very similar issue, i m very new to this and therefore didnt understand the solution. I did visit the developer site for emma, but can you tell me the exact thing to do after starting Emma. I mean, when do i connect the phone and how, what commands to give. Below is explanation of how i got into this and what all ive tried.
OK i ve been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Xperia P, i looked at a number of guidelines and doing things step by step.
Since im very new to this i downloaded a few Roms. I was following the guide "http://droidors.com/2014/07/08/update-xperia-p-lt22i-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/2/" and everything was going fine. I reached the step to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", i did that and then went on the next step to boot in CWM Recovery and install the zip rom and the Gapps. During the Zip Rom install i got status 7 error.
Now, i noticed that i might have flashed the wrong Rom so rechecked the guide and installed the correct Rom which is mentioned in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-slimkat-4-4-2-release-candidate-t2657795" . But now THE PROBLEM IS, AFTER I FLASHED THE INCORRECT IMG, MY PC IS NOT RECOGNISING THE XPERIA P SAYING IT DOESNOT RECOGNISE THE DRIVERS, therefore im not able to copy the ROM Zip on the SDcard, to then run it from CWM.
After sometime i tried the below
Ok, now i tried to flash the stock Rom through this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/ftf-firmware-xperia-p-generic-world-t2322163", through flashtool to bring my phone back to life. I installed the drivers as per instructions from drivers folder, but for some reason the pc is just not accepting. I did install through this exact method yesterday night and it worked perfectly.
Please suggest. I hope im asking at the right place.
Urgent help please
I forgot to mention, after I flashed the SlimKat Rom, and things went out of hand ( till this point i could see Slimkat logo at boot and could also go in CWM Recovery ), I tried to restore through Nandroid Backup i had done. As soon i selected the restore option and then the backup file, within 2-3 seconds the phone went off, and then on boot all i can do is see "SONY" on screen. Nothing else happens.
I ve tried all this on a different machine, with different wires and different USB port, no luck
Kindly advise, im stuck with no spare phone.
Solved i guess
OK Brother,
I downloaded EMMA and am currently downloading the service. It is very self explanatory. What was amazing is when i recognised my phone "What a sight "
Flashtools wasnt able to do that, so i guess the manufacture tools are damn important ( i wasnt exactly of the opinion before )
Also it is downloading Android 4.0.4 Build 6.1.1.b.1.54, which first came on the device, which also makes me think may be i should have tried that rather than trying to flash with the JB Rom all this while.
Man, i was scared. Thanks for this thread Bro.
God Bless
Will inform once the phone is booted up to confirm it worked.
Emma Worked
OK guys, I can confirm its EMMA "Flash tool for Xperia" fixed the problem for me. It installed 4.0.4 on it.
Also there is a pdf in the Download which guides about the usage.
Sigh
Correction- it installed the latest stock ROM jb

[Q] I have stuck into BOOTLOOP

Dear ALL Geniuses...!
I am running Noir A2 Lite, with Spreadtrum chip SP8810. I am stucked into Bootloop, and I am fully sure it is due to not clearing Dalvik-cache.
I was setting up the low internal memory issue with ext3 partition of Sdcard method using Pimk Rom, BusyBox etc. Everything was fine and in the end I got the internal memory increased but the phone was working slow so I thought to get back to the previous state where my genuine internal phone memory was existing. So I just done the RESET FACTORY from Settings of phone. After that it rebooted and still keeps rebooting again and again. I searched on the causes of BOOTLOOP and came to know it might happen due to not clearing DELVIK-CACHE.
Phone is rooted D Of course), and I can't boot into Recovery Mode, I don't know why because since I rooted I wasn't able to get into recovery mode by pressing any key combinations. But I can go into fastboot by pressing VOL+ and POWER button together.
Now anyone body here? Can you suggest me any way to resolve this problem?
Regards!!

Guide to return back to Indian Stock (C675) on V10 from any Custom ROM

Many of us are on custom OS and want to return back to stock Indian OS which was not possible till now. Below posted is a tried and tested method by me as well as my friend @ankan1993.
I assume you are unlocked BL and your device is atleast not bricked.
Please follow this guide step by step to get a stock working device. This is for Honor V10 Indian Version C675 and I'm not responsible for your loss if you make this worst by trying this on other variants/models or if you choose not to follow this guide properly.
I assume you are on Berkley TWRP with the latest version, unmodified one.
Downloads : (Keep both in your fastboot folder in PC)
Stock Recovery : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WEUHRrba1dV3109e7h7b3Hp_aJhy0vM8/view?usp=sharing (stockrec.img)
Stock System Image : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IABtk7HJ9ml6kOpytYHrnT6z3C1_9IfW/view
1. Enter TWRP and go to wipe -> Advanced -> Select system and data, and wipe them.
2. In TWRP, go back and Click Reboot button on main screen and reboot to Bootloader.
3. Connect you device and open cmd_here (open as administrator) from fastboot folder. ( I assume fastboot is installed and working in your system. You can check by the command "fastboot devices" . Device should show there. )
4. Type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stockrec.img" (It should complete without error)
5. Once completes, Type "fastboot flash system system.img" (This may show error like "Invalid sparse file format". Ignore that and keep waiting for 10-12 minutes until the system gets flashed completely.)
6. Once it gets completed, disconnect your device and then press Vol up + power, until it screen shows stock recovery.
7. In stock recovery, use factory reset and cache wipe option one by one and then reboot.
Hit thanks if you think it helped :fingers-crossed:
Finally, after days, after being tormented by the bugs of custom Roms we have something to cheer about. Kudos Oreopie! Cheers to the long hours.
Kudo's bro.. appreciate your efforts :good:

Im unable to access bootloader/recovery mode after unlocking bootloader with volume down+power button, used twrp option to reboot to bootloader, but now i flashed stock recovery and this system image, device bootlooped and im unable to access bootloader, i hold the keys but instantly that warning screen comes up, please help..started using android since 2010 with HTC desire HD and never in my life i stepped in service center because those devices were brick proof, looks like honor made me step into service center
didnt work for me, followed exact steps as mentioned above but stock recovery keeps giving error while factory resetting the device, device ends up in bootloop,, this device is crazy, i need to connect my device to pc and then press voldown+ power to access bootloader else it just jumps to warning screen

Obviously warning screen will come up, but at the same moment you have to just leave power button and keep on pressing vol down button, until you get into bootloader mode. It takes time bro and let me tell you one thing, no matter which mode you boot, no matter what ROM it is, once the bootloader is unlocked it implies that the unlocked warning screen will show and then it will be allowed to get into whatever mode you wish.
Try it as I told, be patient and follow the same guide exactly if you do not wish to visit service centre. There is nothing wrong happening with you other than an improper method being followed in haste

Because on custom you are on 8.1 and twrp doesn't support yet.
May be you can try dload the b161 version which is out on firmware finder now.

Invalid sparse error happens when trying to flash .IMG files in Windows system.
It can be easily solved by using Linux system.
thanks for the reply
