Hi!
I succesfully managed to update my xperia to latest firmware, root it and unlock bootloader. I used root checker to check and in service menu it says unlocked bootloader: yes
I wanted to try a miui rom so first I decided to install CWM. I found a guide to flash CWM for unlocked bootloader and flashed the boot.img to the phone.
I succesfully managed to reboot and see an orange light. Then it restarts...
When pressing volume+ or volume- when orange light I enter CWM recovery, but then I cannot do anything.
I read to format /cache but here it hangs
What should I do now?
Ok, managed to install MIUI by transfering the miui zip file to sd card and just installing it in CWM recovery. After boot all went well

Hey everybody out there,
I had to following problem.
I used the AIO Tool to unlock bootloader and flashing CWMTouch Recovery.
Then I installed ARHD 10.0 over ADB Sideload and everything went fine.
Now I wanted to upgrade to ARHD 10.2 but everytime when im in Bootloader and want to acces recovery my phone reboots.
I can see for like a half second the startup screen from either CWM or TWRP but they all reboot the phone after a half sec.
I tried like all recovery out there its the same with everyone.
Since ARHD wasnt wiped yet the solution for me was to reboot in ARHD and install RomManager via Market and flash Recovery over RomManger and also reboot into Recovery over RomManager.
Now I can acces again my Recovery
For everyone who might have the same Problem

Hi guys, my friend just bricked his LG Optimus black, by trying to reach recovery mode through Rom manager...
When booting, the security error screen flashes and it turns back off.
I've tried to reach recovery/download mode, by trying several button combinations found on the internet, but none of them seems to work, I get the same security error screen (even when the phone is connected to PC).
Can you guys please help, I have zero experience with this phone
Your friend's phone shows security error because he flashed recovery while he was running a v30x stock rom.
With the update to official ICS, the bootloader changed and if you want to keep stock ICS with recovery you need to flash an unlocked bootloader following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394.
You could also try using SmartFlash Tool to flash this ROM that already includes a recovery, but, if you flash it, you'll have a gingerbread ROM with an old bootloader and a recovery that can be used to flash CyanogenMod based ROMs.

Thanks, I finally managed to access Download mode and flash stock firmware, and I also flashed the unlocked bootloader, using the exe file...
But I still have a problem...
I still can't access CWM. When pressing the combination in the post you linked, it just shows me a screen, writing recovery mode, and it does nothing.
Didn't the exe file install CWM?
Is it safe to install it with Smart Flash Tool now?
Can you boot to stock ROM? If yes, is his phone rooted?

I can boot to stock ROM, and yeah I rooted it with Unlock Root after installing the unlocked bootloader.
Download terminal emulator from play store, download recovery.img from here and place it in the root of his sdcard.
Open terminal emulator, type su, press enter, type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and you should have finished! :highfive:
I installed CWM recovery successfully, my phone's bootloader is also unlocked, but now my cwm is gone, i cannot boot into recovery mode! Any suggestions? do i need to install CWM again? will the root disappear if i do so?
Did you change your kernel?
If you reinstall cwm your root shouldn´t be gone (idk how you installed your recovery, so can´t say for shure ^^), but even if it does, it´s about 5 minuits to re-root your device via recovery
Hi XDA,
I'm on stock ROM, with ROOT
I have Z1-LockedDualRecovery2.7.154.Beta installed 6 months ago.
Recently I decided that I have no done a TWRP backup for a long time , and decided to boot into Recovery.
It didn't boot into TWRP recovery, but instead normal reboot occured
I have tried and failed (holding volume down) and etc
I decided to boot into Bootloader, and it wasnt able to boot into it and the phone just froze
What should I start doing first again?
How do I over?
Flash recovery of nut's using pc installer version..
I want to flash a CM11 into my tablet, so I unlocked bootloader.(Devise's Build Number: Version V10.26.1.18 )
------> I flashed a CWMrecovery 6.0.4.5 into it .
----- > I reboot to bootloader can't get into recovery, so i select a full wipe in bootloader.
------>Tablet stucked in boot screen. I can't flash anything into it, because i can't get into bootloader & recovery(Even use Vol - &Power Button).
How can i get into bootloader again?
Or recovery?
Or flash a Offical rom back into it without recovery?
Unfortunately wiping from the boot loader on a custom recovery can hard brick the device. 6.0.4.5 is very old, the latest cwm is 6.0.5.1.
Try flashing that from the boot loader.
But how can get into bootloader?
I have try press Vol Down & Power button, it didn't work,and my computer said “< waiting for device >“。
Is it possible to connect with PC once more?
Try the SD card stock update method
see if this works... this is the best method I have seen to recover the TF701T. Try the manual SD card update method by downloading the correct firmware for your device first from Asus. then see if there is a zip inside of a zip file if so unpack it once. Rename the zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. this is the procedure I used when I bought my tablet.
I updated my tablet to the latest stock firmware before I UNLOCKED and installed the latest CWM recovery. Then I booted into stock and shut down then did a full backup of stock, then I flashed custom ROM and latest SuperSU... if you find this helpful, please click the Thanks button below!

Sorry mate, the only way to get into the bootloader is with Power and Vol Down. If that does not work you cannot access fastboot, you cannot access recovery and the tablet is a brick. Only a new mainboard can revive it.
I am not sure, if bootloader located in SPI flash it is not very difficult to reprogram it with external programmer.
