[Q] Stuck (while doing a factory reset). Help needed. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if it takes this long for XperiaZ to reset. It has been more than 15 minutes but it is stuck at the screen I have posted below. Should I wait and if it's really stuck any workaround to the problem would be highly appreciated....

Bump. Sorry for bumping but need a solution.

Just wait. Phone is repairing itself. Must be some file corruption. Can take minutes, or even hours.....

Has it happened to you. If it stays the same even after hours is there a workaround? One more question, in what mode is it right now?

I'm rarely on any firmware long enough to develop any file system issues - nothing like a good flash with a full wipe to clean everything up
But I have read that it will eventually sort itself out.
Has it finished and rebooted yet?
Edit: It is in some sort of repair mode. Not sure if it has an official name.
If you cant wait, you can try flashing an ftf with wipe data unticked in flashtool.

Nope. Will Sony update service help. By good flash you mean flashing via Flash Tool?
Update:-
Guess What, I connected the USB and than pressed Volume UP + Power Button and than pressing Volume Down key and Sony update service detected the device. Will update the post soon.

Good luck, lets hope your data remains untac

Update:- It finally booted but it's too long for a factory reset. Thank You @shoey63.

No problem. If you have dual recovery, try TWRP next time. Cwm has a habit of corrupting cache partition on locked bootloader.

Noted. But I have a locked bootloader with no root. Will try TWRP only as dual recovery doesn't sound promising (I might be wrong).

Now what, booting into sticky bit fastboot

I was having some issues with my phone shutting down so I attempted to wipe and use rds to install the stock firmware. Now I am stuck in this sticky bit fastboot. Am I screwed or is there an option to fix this? Thanks.

Cant get into stock recovery sucessfully

I have a stock Android 2.3.6 galacy exhibit 4g and when I boot up into recovery, an update is automatically found, installed and then reboots the phone doing the same thing every time recovery is booted into. My problem is, I cannot find this update package in my internal sd storage to save my life nor do I even know what the update package would be called. Can anyone please help?

I'm not certain but it might be called update.zip, because if I remember that's the only name that will flash in the stock recovery. As for finding it, just try searching for update.zip. it should be on the root of the sdcard(no folder) because that's the only way I thought it could install. Any ways I'm probably wrong but at least you can try.

I'm not sure really what CSC code is but I think your talking about stock Odin flash able package. That should get you back to stock and flash the stock recovery and wipe everything. However i think it will bootloop after it flashes so you will have to boot into recovery and wipe data. If so check out the wiki. There is all the info you need. I have another idea though. I haven't done this myself but you should be able to push a clockworkmod recovery.img to the phone from a terminal if you have adb also in the wiki. I can't view your pic because I don't have a Facebook but maybe someone else can. Good luck

That is the stock update pushed by Samsung from what it sounds like. Also sounds like a data packet might have dropped during the downloading of it causing a bad install. For simplicity get cwm Installed and boot thru that and flash from cwm. Wiki has all the info needs.
Wiki please read completely on rooting and install of cwm. Suggest 6.0.1.2 version. Personal preferences on that.

Problem solved. I just randimly pushed the 3 buttons on the phone before the rebooting part came up in the script and finally got the menu, took may tries to get to that point but as soon as I got to that point, I was quick to install clockworkmod successfully. Now problem is gone. Hope this thread maybe helps someone else

I have a similar problem. Which 3 buttons are we talking about? Power+Home+VolUp?
Easiest way, take out battery, push volume up and power, insert battery while holding, when Samsung appears release only power, when the android guy with package appears press menu
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Make sure you push the "Menu" capacitive button (left in the row of four buttons below the screen) when you see the green Android guy and the box. That will get you into the stock recovery menu.
I had to reboot into recovery a couple of times because I missed that part. What a pain!

Is my Nexus completely dead?

Long post but can't really shorten it.
32GB wifi Nexus, rooted and was running Liquid Smooth ROM and Motley kernel, went to update the ROM to rc9 version ,anytime I updated previously I never done full wipe unless using different ROM, anyway flashed the ROM and the gaaps with it and rebooted, immediately and prompted to me to use either apex or Holo HD I choose Holo HD got error saying system ui not responding, tried apex and got the same.
I was on the main screen but couldn't access it, yet I could pull down and enter into settings, everything else looked to be ok, so rebooted back to recovery and tried fixing permission, rebooted and got the same so I though I'll be just restore my nandroid backup, to my astonishment all the data had been wiped, I didn't do a wipe at all so I'm baffled how this happened.
Anyway I done a factory reset and rebooted and went through the setup, got the same system ui not responding, went to settings which could still access, apps and un installed both Apex and Holo HD noticed that Liquid Smooth rc9 had installed but instead of showing the cm kernel it still showed motley kernel.
Back to recovery, factory reset twice, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, went through set up process, same system ui error again, went to settings, erased all data, tablet rebooted, set up process same again, system ui, so I'm getting worried so back to recovery and this time I selected format system, data and sd, card and now I think I've completely fuc#ed it up as it just hangs at the Google screen and has stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Previously asides from the occasional force close issue in the 2 months I've had the Nexus not really had a problem with it and whilst I'm no developer or techy geek I'm certainly no noob when it comes to this type of thing but I'm very concerned now and hoping someone can be of assistance as I sold laptop and primary just use my Nexus (and Galaxy S3)
Thanks

Strange.. But I didn't understand well, after wiping /system, did you flash the ROM back ?
I think you should flash 4.2.1 factory image using toolkit or whatever, then root etc..again
No all the data had been wiped this is what is baffling me, I didn't do a factory reset I just flashed the ROM and gaaps, as I said initially it was the system ui error I was getting but I think I've fucjed it up by formatting the system, data and sd card as all I can see now is the Google screen at boot, I can still get into clock work mod recovery but I've exhausted all avenues as it were, is there any hope I can get it back working again?

Yes ! Really easy to use. You'll just have to put the tab into fastboot mode give it a try I'm pretty sure it will solve everything and you'll start back with good bases as it is full stock !

Cheers but I don't see anything in clockwork mod recovery for fastboot mode, I'll go to an Internet cafe tomorrow and do it if I could just get specific instructions.

First Download and install the fastboot drivers...Download the stock Image here:-
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
then hold volume-(Down) Button and while holding the Button power on the device..it will take you into the bootloader. Now conne4ct the nexus to your PC...Now extract the file you downloaded (the Stock image)..keep extracting the files till you get the system.img file.Use fastboot to flash that(the command):
fastboot flash system system.img
Boot into fast boot, push a stock image. Ta da. Easy stuff. The basics.

Maybe I didnt fix it prperly?

Is it a patched v20 rom that you flashed? Flash again using SmartFlash and once the phone boots, it will take you to the CWM recovery screen and then do a factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone and it will be just fine. BTW read the "Noob how to" section in the Q&A it helped me a lot.

The patched v20 bin/fls files should work for you. If not, try the hard reset unbricking method. You're welcome.
