C6603 Stuck in bootloop! [Last update: 24/1/14]
UPDATE 24/01/14
This issue has been SOLVED.
I replaced the battery with one from eBay and the phone is working flawlessly, all the ROM flashing I went through was not the problem at all. Remember that if you are going to try to replace the battery you may as well buy a new rear glass piece as it is almost guaranteed that the glass will break in the removal process. You will also require new a adhesive piece. The entire procedure cost me $51AUD (battery, glass, adhesive).
All the content below is irrelevant, if your phone randomly shuts off (instantaneously) on boot or soon after, try to replace your battery!
Thanks for your help.
I've got quite a story to tell and if you have the patience to read it, I will greatly appreciate your assistance. TL;DR BELOW
In the beginning I was running 4.2.2, on a stock Australian 10.3.A.0.423 Unbranded ftf. It had been working flawlessly for a month or so until quite recently. It had developed a problem where it would only remain switched on whilst being plugged into the wall socket. As soon as (or thereafter) I removed the plug out of the phone, with one touch, one action, BAM! The display was off and I had to restart the phone again. I spent a few hours browsing for solutions to this problem, most of them said to hold the power and vol+ buttons until the handset vibrated 3 times. That turned it off alright, but I'm looking to go in the other direction.
After a stressful while scrounging old forum posts, I came to the conclusion that the fault is in my ROM, after all, I had flashed from 4.1.2 (I think) to 4.2.2 just a month prior (I flashed a ROM instead of waiting until the snail-like carriers here in Australia decided to dribble out the release). So now being convinced that I ROM is at fault I browse XDA for a newer stock one. Hey! Look! 4.3 it being rolled out in Aust, I check whether it's available to me yet, and obviously, no, it is not. I stumble upon this thread in my travels. I spend a while working to meet it's requirements. Get flashtool, get unlocked bootloader, get root, install cwm, and attempt to install XzDualRecovery 2.6. I've placed the XDR.zip on the sdcard in the XZ, I run the zip using CWM, it seems successful, I then go to reboot and check whether my 4.3 works, after I select reboot I'm asked whether I wish to root the phone. Why yes! that seems easy enough, and just as I select 'ok' the screen goes blank. The bloody phone has switched off in the middle of my work! I try to boot and it hangs on the Sony logo then reboots, creating a cycle. I decide to plug it back in to the wall socket (as this is the only way to get it to boot and remain on), huzzah, it runs. But the root had failed. The rest of my rant is insignificant until now (around 7 hours of failed attempts later)
So in an attempt to keep this wall of text down, I try my best to summarize, If I am not clear enough, just say.
I tried reflashing my old 4.2.2 ROM back, this makes the whole thing worse, now the phone won't even get past the Sony logo (even when plugged to a socket), I flash a different 4.3 ftf, nothing, I restore with PCC, I restore with SUS, I create a ftf from the SUS files and attempt to flash that. Nothing, nothing works. So where am I at now?
The phone still has battery, although, I'm not sure how much, I can no longer get it to charge as it hangs on the Sony logo. The phone should be flashed with 10.3.A.0.423, but when I check the baseband version in Fastboot cmd prompt, it still says 10.4.B.0.569, I feel as though flashtool isn't flashing properly, but I've read that this is usually a non-issue. I can boot into flashmode and fastboot mode. I can unlock and lock the bootloader. I can use ADB and Fastboot CMD (Minimal version) to read values and run commands. Actually, I managed to use the phone in fastboot mode, in conjunction with ADB and Fastboot CMD, I ran the command "fastboot continue" and the phone went on to charge off the usb power, It didn't seem to charge very fast, or at all, and I haven't been able to get it to do it again. So a TL;DR:
-C6603 stuck in bootloop.
-Possibly has a 4.2.2 ROM installed (10.3.A.0.423 Unbranded AU)
-Cannot Charge
-Can run flashmode and fastboot mode
-Can use ADB and Fastboot
-Can use SUS, PCC, and Flashtool to flash stock roms
-Can't figure this out for the life of me!
UPDATE 01/01/14
Currently I have a kernel installed that allows me to use cwm twrp (doomkernel v19, maybe), I have flashed a 'flashable' stock 4.3 rom using cwm and the phone didn't manage to get past the kernel logo. HOWEVER, using fastboot mode, I run the command "fastboot continue", and if I allow the phone to go past the kernel logo it vibrates, the LED turns green as opposed to showing a purple one, and it will begin charging (The LED isn't green as a result of the battery level). EDIT [1/1/14 3:01AM]: I tried to launch the phone whilst it was charging, the charging symbol went away and the phone remained on a black screen (lcd is on, but nothing is displayed) for a few seconds before shutting off automatically.
I must mention, I cannot get into recovery unless I boot the phone into fastboot mode, run the command in fastboot: "fastboot continue". If I don't do this, it simply crashes (shuts off) when showing the kernel logo.
If you need to know more I will provide as much information as I can, as succinct as I can, as fast as I can. I am in this for the long run. Thank you for your time,
UPDATE 08/01/14
I've come to the conclusion that my issue is battery related. After repeated from flashes and fastboot attempts, I managed to get the phone charging a few times, I witnessed the level was sporadic upon infrequent viewings. I have come across a few other very similar threads and feel that it is necessary to try replacing the battery, I try and post a youtube clip that details what happens currently.

download any FTF , 4.2.2 or 4.3 , connect your device to flash tool as flashmode , and select to flash the ftf , when you are selecting the ftf in the flash tool , at the right side check all at the wipe section , and uncheck all at the exclude section
but your internal storage might get also wiped , but i assume it already happened when you unlocked your boot loader

Alrighty then, I'll give that a go later. I have just found a 4.3 for Australia, perhaps it will be different. Thanks for the quick reply.

i'm not sure if that problem could be solve, but it was, like you said, different. never saw anything like that either.
Anyway:
Can it boot into custom recovery in its state now?( for mounting storage for something else in case you have cwm or twrp installed)

Thanks so much for the reply. The thread has something I can try, if this new rom fails (I expect it will). What is custom recovery? I cannot access the storage, only fastboot and flashmode. no cwm and xdr was never completed.
ROM just failed, trying SUS now.

oh dear, custom recovery is cwm (clockworkmod recovery) or twrp (team win recovery project), it means, it allows you to do something important just before it boot into system, which is bootstall or bootloop as you call it. you cannot boot into system, then try to boot into recovery ( which is before it boot the system), that might help.
both recoveries will allow you to mount storage to copy things to sd cards from pc.
you can try unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel with recoveries, maybe you "could" boot into one of those recoveries.
I also got the same problem, but mine is a C6602. I was trying to setup a mail exchange, then it asked for some permission. I push enter, then after an hour, it start the bootloop.
The phone boot till the main screen, i could swipe and play around for 10 second, then it reboot.
I have tried everything from hard reset, to FlashTool to SUS, relock, unlock, flash stock, from old stock to new stock, it just won't work :|

I'm well aware what cwm is, I just assumed that because you said 'custom' that it might possibly be different, as recovery is always custom anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am able to flash a 'boot.img' that enables me to use cwm and twrp, HOWEVER, the only way I can access it (as in cause the phone to remain on long enough for it to parse the boot.img) is to connect the phone to my computer in fastboot mode, then using the Fastboot command: "fastboot continue", it will run the 'img' and allow me to enter twrp or cwm. It still won't begin charging or even show the Xperia logo if I allow it to continue without accessing the recovery options.
Thanks for your help.

if you can mount the storage, you could copy the flashable stock rom (4.3) and copy it into your sd card, and maybe you can flash through there by following instructions from that thread.

I tried to mount the storage, my pc wouldn't detect the phones storage, I managed to push the stock rom zip to the sd card using ADB. I still had cwm recovery and could flash the zip using it. Still, however, the phone shuts down before it gets past the kernel logo. Again, I used the phone in Fastboot mode and forced it to continue using "fastboot continue", I left it go past the kernel logo and it is charging at the moment. I may try to start the phone now, yet expect it to crash again.
EDIT: I tried to launch the phone whilst it was charging, the charging symbol went away and the phone remained on a black screen (lcd is on, but nothing is displayed) for a few seconds before shutting off automatically.
EDIT: Happy New Year!
Thank you.

Yes that is correct, it's current issue (turning off sponanteously) occurred when I was running stock 4.2.2 (no root, no bootloader unlock).

lol, you should unlock the bootloader before you flash a custom boot.img. the primary solution now is to flash any rom to see if it boots up normally , then you can still find a way to revert back to stock.

I never said that I flashed a custom boot.img whilst on a locked bootloader. The reason I tried all the things that I have is because the phone was spontaneously shutting down (on stock, unedited). Perhaps once I made the mistake of flashing a boot.img before unlocking, but I have since unlocked and flashed many roms and kernels. Thanks for your reply.

That is correct, it doesn't hang but suddenly turns off, the only way I can use recovery tools in the kernel is if I plug the phone into my pc in Fastboot mode, then issue the command "fastboot continue" from cmd.

i think there is something wrong with your motherboard or the battery connection, i'm not sure, because my pc got that problem before, it just boot up to starting windows... and then reboot, in the end i found out the capacitor got swelled in the power supply.

That is certainly possible, I have had to replace the back glass and during that operation it is possible that the battery got too hot and is now lower in voltage or something. Thanks for the suggestion, I would appreciate a second opinion with this...

if you still have your warranty, you can go to the center and request for a replacement, the best solution now is to revert to as stock as possible, if can get the bootloader locked again then it's good,

I imagine it is still under warranty, however I have read that unlocking the bootloader permanently voids warranty. And I have replaced the back of my white phone with a black glass, perhaps if I get a new white rear glass it will be ok, but then I might as well just replace the battery $40AUD isn't too expensive IMO.
Hi all, this is a last ditched effort at maybe saving my phone. I did an update on my SU and for some unknown reason it rebooted my phone. It then loaded up my rom until the kernel settings loaded then rebooted once again. I then tried to go into recovery to flash a backup and it booted me straight into my unlocked fastboot. I then tried to reboot once again in hopes I could fast navigate into twrp through rom manager, once in I was prompted that I no longer had root. I then decided to start over from scratch and load a recovery in fastboot. Once I had everything good to go I plugged everything in and instead of recognizing my phone as a drive, HTC manager popped up instead. I then updated my drivers to see if maybe that would fix the problem with no luck. I am at a loss at this point. I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can offer.

This is completely normal, you should have just rebooted the phone and been done I then tried to go into recovery to flash a backup and it booted me straight into my unlocked fastboot. Again totally normal, thats the bootloader use the vol to move down and choose recovery and hit power this will boot you to TWRP I then tried to reboot once again in hopes I could fast navigate into twrp through rom manager, once in I was prompted that I no longer had root. I then decided to start over from scratch and load a recovery in fastboot. Why ? Once I had everything good to go I plugged everything in and instead of recognizing my phone as a drive, HTC manager popped up instead. You should not have Sync installed only the drivers I then updated my drivers to see if maybe that would fix the problem with no luck. I am at a loss at this point.

I was doing a SU update. It restarted into a loop that boots about 1 min after the splash screen then resets. I've tried to redownload root through SU app as I can no longer connect through usb but it reboots to soon. I used Rom Manager to try and get into recovery as a second alternative.

Reboot to bootloader / fastboot USB
and from command line on pc
fastboot erase cache

I cant understand why people using those ROm manager apps to install stuff. And you said it rebooted after you update your SU. Then i tink you pressed reboot into recovery instead of NORMAL. Am i wrong?

I no longer have a recovery to be able to flash anything. When I try to load into recovery it just boots right back into fastboot. I was just using rom manager to boot into recovery after I couldn't get into recovery through fastboot, not to flash anything. I was updating Super Su through the actual app itself. it seemed to be downloading something when it rebooted itself and I lost root, recovery and the ability to connect to my computer.

Ok. I think you need to reflash recovery again.
Boot into bootloader and fastboot usb
then download TWRP recovery from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and pick 2.6.3.3-m7.img
put it into your fastboot folder and flash it "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img and hit enter
now try to reboot into recovery. When there Wipe Dalvik and Cache and reboot. If recovery ask you to root your device then accept it and reboot.
Remember to connect phone to right USB port not 3.0. Use 2.0 port and try annother cable also.

I've tried a few different cords and all 3 ports I have still nothing but the HTC manager thing. It will recognize it but only for a split second while booting up but it says HTC BUTTERFLY as the drive and i'm not sure if that's a problem or not but it won't recognize it at all through fastboot.
you cant boot up. if it doesnt recognize it in bootloader mode then i dont know.
Try restart PC. Maybe you have several adb at same time. Adn uninstall htc sync if not but keep drivers

I hadthe same problem after flashing a kernel. I repeatedly tried the bootloader (audiodown key + power button) until it started. Recovery was not available, in the red triangle screen press audio up key,got the system recovery screen, wipe cache, reboot the system and then try installing Twrp recovery. It worked.

then boot to it and do clear cache.. then reflash twrp
When I got into bootloader, I lost the Twrp recovery. So when I selected recovery I got the screen with a "triangle and exclamation mark". If you leave it will reboot the system after couple of minutes. But if the audio up key is pressed, it will show a system recovery screen, where cache can be wiped

Grizmen what are you talking about. Why should you boot into red triangle? There is no menu called red triangle. Only on stock recovery.

Basically all I'm trying to do now it's find a way to get my computer to recognize my phone as a drive. When I go into viper settings and go to advance menu (with the short time I have before boot loop) there is an option to mount drive. When I select the option to do so it hands on splash screen and I have to hold power button to recycle back on. Once back in it's no longer selected. I've never seen a boot loop go pay the flash screen. Is this normal?

Then didn't get a boot afterwards, wiped everything from twrps system, data, the whole shabang!

I still have the original stock unrooted backup saved to my pc from when I first installed twrp. Can someone please help me? I'm really out here trying to reach out for some help. didn't even know where to post this. Thank you guys. Note to moderators: If this is the wrong place to post this then please point me to the right direction and I apologize.
I bought a VS980 last week and have been trying to flash a new recovery ever since. It is rooted, but when I try to reboot into recovery, the phone reboots and as soon as the LG splash shows up, the phone turns off. Not reboots, or freezes, or boot-loop, but just turns off. I have followed several different methods of flashing from different articles/guides i have found but all have the same effect. I have done a factory reset twice and tried to start fresh, but have the same result. I have done several options of using ADB Push to flash the recovery and I have tried to use, CWM, TWRP, Flashify, RomToolBox Pro, and GooManager apps to flash into recovery but I always have the same result. Phone reboots, LG Splash shows up for just a second, then the phone turns off.
I am about out of ideas. Please help!

Are you running JB or KK?
JB - Download flashify from the market and let it handle flashing the recovery
KK - Follow the directions here, steps 5-8 if you're already rooted and on 24A. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958

Well I spoke too soon. I followed the guide in from the link, which did in fact allow me to reboot into TWRP, however, the phone seems to have been bricked in the process. I unless I use the hardware keys to reboot into recovery, the phone boots up completely blank. The screen is on, but it is black. I have tried to revert back to stock but I have not been able to. I followed all the directions found here:

Please can you describe anything that's going wrong? I.e. Can you access downloader mode?, Is your port set to COM41 (Note it does not set it automatically)?, Anything else that would give us an idea where the reverting back to stock process is going wrong?

Sure. I do not know if I am able to reach Fastboot or not. I can get into TWRP Recovery and request Fastboot, as well as hold the Up-Volume buttons on start, but the screen comes on blank after the LG icon goes away.
I can not see the device from my File Explorer in Windows. I have tried to remove each of the 3 devices that appear in my Device Manager and re-install them with the most recent drivers for my phone, which seems to work, but then I still cannot connect to it. The computer recognizes that a device has connected, but I guess I do not know how to transfer files if not through File Explorer or an ADB push.
I have tried to use ADB push but I cannot see any ADB Devices. Within TWRP, I have tried to use ADB Sideload, but the message '//twrp/backups/086c8bd70b935975' not found comes up and so it gets stuck on "starting ADB Sideload feature...."
When I use the "Mount" option in TWRP, Only Data and Cache is selected. I can select System, but I am not able to select USB-OTG
When trying to use the LG Flash Tool (and tried to change every port to 41 for each device I found in Device Manager), it fails with "Model: Unknown"..."device Model is different!"..."Check Phone or DLL!"...."00000000"
I think there were some other things tried too but that is all I can think of at the moment.

Well new update: I was able to fix it! The problem was my own ignorance. I was following some Googl'd instructions to get the device into download mode that were incorrect. Once I saw the correct ones, I was able to get into Download Mode and revert to stock from there.
Hi guys, can anyone pls do help me. been troubleshooting and try to fix this thing for 2 days already.
The problem is, my fon will always boot to recovery. Eventhough i choose restart to system it will always go back to recovery.
I tried turn off, and push the power button only, still it will boot to recovery.
This started happening just a sudden, my fon run out of battery. Then its dead, i recharge. When try boot again the recovery boot problem begin.
I tried to restore my backup that iv made after the fresh installation of the CM13, restoration is good. But it still boot to recovery.
I then tried flashed the original rom with fastboot, ( i can access fastboot via the options in recovery, im using the TWRP recovery.
Or else i wouldnt be able to access fastboot also, even if i push (vol down+power button) when the fon is off, it will goes directly to recovery.
Anyone has any idea? please help =(

Hi bro thanks for suggestion, will do try it out. Iv looked at the solution, but it seems that is a problem if cant use fastboot flash with Mi Flash, I have no problem flashing to stock rom in fastboot. Iv used this solution from this link below to manually flash in the fastboot. Its working for people who are having problem of "MI FLASH PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXIST".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/guide-flashing-fastboot-miui-roms-t2938279
But the problem is still it will boot up to recovery also.
Hi all,
I have a big problem with my phone.
I wanted to try out Resurrection Remix on my phone.
I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img with fastboot.
After reboot i saw the Teamwin logo and then i did a full wipe of everything, except SD Card (like i always do when i install a custom rom)
Then i installed Resurrection Remix M v.5.7.3.zip from sd and gapps, then wiped cache and pressed reboot.
No error with flashing, when the phone booted and i saw some logo's, took like 2-3 minutes and then the phone went off and started to reboot and reboot, had to take the battery off to let it stop.
Since then my phone isn't working properly, i tried to flash different kinds of stock roms with flash tool including wipe options.
No errors with flashing, but the phone still doesn't boot or it goes off after Sony logo then i leave the battery out for 10 mins or so then it starts and it looks normal, i can install aps, i can call, but the first time when i reboot my phone with this new install it's back to rebooting. I tried to leave my battery out for 10 hours but it doesn't help.
I tried to relock my bootloader and then unlock it again.
If i tried to install twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img it's going to reboot also, i tried airless or evomix kernel, then recovery starts but when i try to install a custom rom zip, and try to flash it my phone reboots after 5 seconds.
And now i don't know what to do anymore, so please anyone? help?
Thanks in advance!
did you try installing stock rom with flashtool ?
What was your android version when you first flash TWRP 3.0.2 recovery?If you are coming from stock lollipop then you should flash TWRP 3.0.2 (.228).Make sure you unlocked phone bootloader.Use advance clean in the recovery,select all except sd card and clean all.Then try flashing RR Rom again.Do wipe cache/Delvik after flashing RR Rom and before flashing GAPPS.

Yes, i tried atleast :
C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf
C5503_10.6.A.0.454_HK.ftf
C5503_10.7.A.0.228_TR.ftf
And used all wipe options.
I used Emma tool, after that i removed the battery from the phone for 48 hours, then it booted the second time. I charged the battery and i left it like this for a few hours, then i tried to reboot but it went off after 20 seconds, tried to boot again but it goes off after Sony logo.

My version was CM 13 (cm-13.0-20160801-UNOFFICIAL-dogo.zip) that was working very well, but before i flashed RR i did advanced cleaning and i checked everything except SD Card and USB OTG and a factory reset and after flashing pressed wipe cache/dalvik and then i rebooted.
The phone is off now without battery. This Sony doesn't have recovery, buttons aren't working and they never did, i can only flash twrp with fastboot wich makes it only boot into recovery and then i used this to flash custom roms.
I only started to flash custom roms about a month ago because someone gave me this Sony ZR, i bought a new original battery for it but when i call on speaker there is some underwater bubbling sound and i also wanted marshmallow and i hoped this may fix the bubbling sound, with CM 13 the sound was already better but didn't fix it completely.
TWRP won't let me flash anything anymore, it's starting to flash but after 5 seconds it reboots back into recovery.
Edit: Is it possible that there is still stuff in the RAM that is causing problems?
Edit: I thought i'm going to this phone another try. I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img and it boots, also this version didn't want to boot anymore but now it does. I wiped everything, also SD Card, i checked everything is empty. Before i couldn't wipe my SD Card anymore and in Windows all files showed double and i couldn't copy files. Going to charge it first and think about what i want try to flash. Wipe cache/dalvik and then flash gapps is a good idea.
Edit: it almost charged now, when it charged i will remove the battery again for the night, i will decide later what i'm going to do.

Someone maybe played with your phone in underwater to cause bubbling sound.I don't see any hardware problem in your phone.You maybe did something wrong or anything else that your phone behaving like this.Listen,You first flash a stock rom.Lollipop would be better because you can flash flashable twrp 3.0.2(.228) via flash fire or flashify app.I once tried flashing twrp img through fastboot and it caused bootloop.So I always use flashable zip.Fastboot for emergency.And try to reformatting your system pertition.I hope this will work or you'll need expert developer to help you.Maybe Daedroza can help you if my sugg. don't work.

The bubbling sound is a known issue with some Sony smartphones, on google i have read more stories about this problem, not only zr but also other Z models. The problem is caused by the second mic i think, if i use loudspeaker when calling and i lay the phone on the back the sound is much better. I saw on other thread about this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help/disable-mic-t3434997
On YouTube you can find many movies about this, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC6JbuQJ_gg
It's really annoying for the other person to hear these sounds when you are calling. They need to listen very carefully to understand you, but it's only when you call on speaker.
When i wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time i wanted to do this with apps on my phone. I rooted my phone with kingroot and used an app to check if the phone was really rooted. I installed twrp app and tried to install recovery but it gave an error. I tried to install recovery with Flashify but then it says that the recovery partition is not present. When i try to flash with Flashify it says it's going to reboot into recovery but then the the phone boots like normal. The only way for me to get a recovery on the phone is just flashing with fastboot or using flashtool. Doomlord kernel and XZDualrecovery don't boot, only twrp is working.

First of all change the kingroot with supersu.Kingroot root access control not so stable.Download selinux mode changer to set in permissive mode.If you are at LP version,twrp app won't install recovery or support it.flash twrp3.0.2(.228) via flashify or different flashing app.selinux permissive mode will let you to go to recovery mode.By the way,xzdualrecovery is for locked bootloader and should boot without any problem.I don't know it will work on unlocked bootloader or not.So try your best what I have told and this is all I have to share from my own experience.

I flashed the latest Lollipop and it's back to rebooting, i see the sony logo and before it says powered by android it goes off. I removed the battery again, i will try to root the phone and use selinux mode changer when it's booting. It wil take atleast 12 hours without battery before it boots.

Is there any problem with your phone?Did you experiment your phone too much?I don't get it,why after flashing stock rom via flashtool gives you bootloops if no error showed up while flashing!!Is this your battery problem?And I think so because few months ago my phone battery heavily damaged and therefor It don't charge and my phone didn't bootup but bootlooping.I first thought it was my mistake to flash rom incorrectly.So i had to flash stock rom via flashtool to go back to normal but unfortunetly PC don't recoznige my phone not even fastboot.I was worried and couldn't do anything and went to service center,they changed the battery with new one and my phone comes to life again.Mainly this was for my local charger fault.it also damaged in that day too.SO brought a orginal sony charger.But you said you brought a new battery too then how come you face bootloops.well if there is no error message shows up I can't help you with anything.Only better expert member can help you.By the way you can collect log via adeb fastboot if your phone fastboot mod work.
Here is the inst:
1. Install the Android Debug Bridge using http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
2. Instructions on installing Android Debug Bridge are located here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android- debug-bridge-utility
3. Run the following commands:
“adb logcat -c" (This clears the logs.)
4. Reproduce the issue.
5. Then, run the following command to capture the logs in a file:
“adb logcat -d > Name_of_Log_File.txt"
maybe it will gives some clues what is happening.

I tried my old battery and it boots, already booted up 3x times. I never thought it maybe the battery because it's only 2 months old. Thanks so much for your help.
I tried to install recovery with selinux permissive mode and flashify but i stil can't install recovery.
It says: Partition not found, your recovery partition couldn't be found. You won't be able to flash recovery images. You can stil flash zip files.
I don't think it's possible to have recovery on this phone, atleast not the normal way.
Edit: I flashed RR and it's working fine. I'm so happy it's working again, i never really used this old battery but i think it's not so bad at all. I only lost 8% battery with flashing and booting RR. I never really thought it was the battery because it was charging normal, i used it for 2 months or something without problems.

If it was a battery problem then change it or carefully use it.And the error you are facing is because the latest flashify has some bugs.But now as you are already using RR MM rom.You can download twrp app and use this app to install recovery.

I tried to install recovery, flashify hangs all the time, twrp app gives an error when i try to install recovery and flashfire says there is no partition for this image. I thought i'll do a factory reset in RR and when the phone rebooted i saw twrp. I tried with pressing the buttons when booting but no luck. I used reboot into recovery option and it worked. This is the first custom rom that gave my phone recovery.
I will throw the battery away and use the old battery, i can always buy a new one later.

OH!So that the old recovery occupied all the recovery partition space that you are unable to install twrp recovery.But old recovery should be replaced by new recovery,that's strange.well I don't know how did this happen but don't use fastboot to install recovery or anything else,It's for emergency.I'm not fully familiar with fastboot though,I tried once before and caused trouble. I hope your troubles are gone now.

My phone don't have any partition recovery, i tried 100x times with stock rom to boot recovery, with buttons, with apps that boot in recovery. I do have recovery with RR rom, but it's not in the recovery partition. I tried Tesla, CM 13, XOSP but still no recovery. I tried to boot recovery with all roms, but it doesn't matter. It's fine now, been playing a bit with RR and it's a nice rom. Thank you for helping.
