Hey, really need your help here please.
After flashing a ROM from XDA I cant bootup my XZ anymore.
After the Sony Logo comes up the device is only showing me a screen I've never saw before: a wrench and a screwdriver with a loading bar under them.
What to do to get the device working again?
Already tried reflashing DoomLords CWM Kernel.
Any help is REALLY appreciated.
regards

Hello! New member here so please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong forum or anything like that.
Not to take long of your time, I can't get my phone to boot. It shows the 2 LG logos and won't proceed beyond that. So I need to know if there's a way to flash a ROM and a Recovery with it like that.
Thanks for the help.

Can you access CWM? Try to pull out the battery, put it in, press power button + volume down at the same time. Wait til the LG logo appears and release it.

No. It just freezes at the LG logo.

I guess you need to flash the stock ROM by using SmartFlashTool. Its easy to use. There's a thread that has simple instructions.

As weird as this is, I suddenly can start into recovery. Is SmartFlashTool still the way to go? I ask because I don't want to ruin things any further.

Really?! That's great to know.
Recovery is v5.0.2.7
ETA: I flashed the ROM I had on before all that mess started and now my phone is working again. I'm not sure if things went awry because AOKP's last build was screwed or because I removed the SDcard before flashing in an attempt to force the phone to use the 5GB of internal memory that has been sitting useless since I got the device.
can't I flash the last owaine version I used?

It is.
I wiped every thing before flashing the ROM and I have a complete copy of all the files I had on the SDcard saved on my PC. As soon as it finishes charging I'll move the TB files back to the SDcard and see if I can restore my apps. Unfortunately, I have to redo my system settings by hand. But I don't really mind.
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.

Your welcome. Glad I helped.
Tomorrow I want to sell the phone to a friend so I thought I'll do a factory reset to erase the data on the phone (my phone is rooted). I did the reset from the menu after wiping the sd card and now my phone only boots in CWM Recovery. I tried flashing custom roms but it only enters CWM when I reboot the phone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That sounds easy enough, I just have one question: Will any stock rom work or do I have to find a specific one form my carrier and device?
Also , could you point me in the right direction to find a stock rom?

Sure! Do you have a S6500 or a S6500D? If you need to find a stock, just go here and download whatever you need (it has the tools you need in there): http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 Just select your device, log in, and then you'll be able to download it. Extract it to your desktop and follow the instructions you can find in this forum!
Thank you again, you helped me very much!
I'll try to flash it and report back after.
I flashed the software back and now it's like brand new!
Thanks for the tremendous help!

What does Odin have to do with flashing a Custom ROM?
Under Flashing ROM you can find the instructions.
You must have CWMR to do this. Here are the instructions for downloading and installing CWMR.
Make sure your phone is rooted.

Excuse me. I missed a night worth of sleep.
I thought you tried to flash a Custom ROM via Odin.
What version of Odin are you using?
Also, changing the baseband version will not do anything good.
Can you clarify "stuck at white android logo"?

This is the ROM you're talking about if I'm not mistaken.
That's quite odd, if you don't mind waiting for 10 minutes so I can test it out myself. I will reply to you if I encounter the same problem

Well it seems I can't help you, I can't even get it past the samsung.com at the beginning.
After flashing it, I suggest you wipe cache and data. From here, post it in the development thread.

Hey changing baseband wont work, i wont recommend you to change your baseband. You mite end up into hardbrick or no network problems.
Try install another rom first (try any)
then flash your desired rom.
Always DO full WIPE.
I helped you? Wow, lol., then Don't thank me, rather follow me on twitter

oops I already changed my basband, luckily its working fine... and autoradio said, if problem persists, try changing baseband..
my problem now
I did factory reset, my phone wifi wont work, everything is all wonky, its like the factory reset didnt complete itself, done it 5-6 times, still everything all wonky. I cant get into CMW.
What are my options? Sony Companion doesnt do factory reset because it just stops working after the phone resets when trying to do it. Hmmm not sure what options I got.
Before I had this problem I flashed a stock ROM with CMW. It was stock 4.3 and when it finished it was still 4.2.2.
Do I use a flashtool to put reset to factory if so which tool do i use? I can boot into the phone fine but wifi dont work and everything crashes, and factory reset ends up with same problems still.
I think you have to flash the FTF again and Wipe Everything with Flashtool v0.9.13, fresh installation. It's compromise to much your phone right now.

How you can't if your phone can boot? Switch off the phone, when the phone is off keep pressing volume down and connect the phone to PC via USB, let windows install the drivers, keep pressing volume down all the time. Did you do that?

Sorry but on 4.3 they are not. To do so you have to get root and mods the bars. Good to know your phone is fine.

Try flashing the official rom with odin. You don't lose any data using odin. You just have to go search for your rom and the tool (odin). I'm not sure that you dont lose any data but I already done that and my data was intact! But it's better to someone with more experience advise you.
