[Q] Phone constantly bootloops, data cannot be mounted - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've unlocked my bootloader, flashed a kernel, went into recovery and installed the ROM zip (I've tried both VanirAOSP and Mahdi ROM).
It remains in a bootloop.
When I press clear data/cache, recovery says the partition cannot be mounted.
Can anyone help, please?

Never mind, problem solved, I flashed a stock rom using flashtool and reinstalled the rom from there.

[Q] Stuck at boot screen after wiping

I installed CM 10 stable and Semaphore Kernel. Worked great. Then went to install gapps and got lots of FC's so I went on to clean cache, dalvik and to do a factory reset and suddenly I got stuck at semaphore/boot logo and couldn't go into recovery. Got the recovery fix and installed it via Odin, and it works. But, it doesn't allow me to install anything from external SD card, only internal. Of course, I don't have anything there.
What should I do? Any links for tar versions of CWM and CM 10 for i9000?
Hmmm, is it safe to assume everything will be OK if I just flash any stock firmware from sammobile?
Yup, that combined with this did the trick.

[Q] Custom Roms not booting on my ZR

I unlocked my ZR's bootloader and tried installing these roms:
Carbon Rom
Beanstalk
LiquidSmooth
But after installing any of these, my phone wont boot completely.
It goes past the SONY screen and loads the animation of the rom that i flashed, the animation still goes on - it is not stuck.
This goes on for like half an hour and still does not go any further.
I will explain the steps i followed.
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. flashed the boot.img of the corresponding rom
3. booted to recovery -- vol up
4. Wipe data/ fac reset
5. wipe cache partition and Dalvik
6. installed the rom and rebooted
Is there anything else i am missing here ?

+1 if the ROM animation is shown then rom must boot up

You have to boot the stock firmware first.
Flash a stock rom
Boot it properly
Turn off the phone
Flash the custom rom kernel using fastboot
Do your wipes
Install the custom rom zip
The phone should boot properly now

[Q] Why didn't my CWM refresh? I can't use to flash kernel. Help me!

I rooted my phone and opened bootloader succesfully, then I installed latest CWM with my ROM manager.
After that I wiped data (factory reset), wiped caches and dalvik caches as well. Then I rebooted my phone put CM11 on it then shut it down and succesfully installed CM11 with CWM.
I also wanted to install iodak v9.5 kernel but when I did it with ROM manager(actually CWM did it) I checked it in "About phone" and it wrote I have 3.1.10 CM kernel. So i decided to install kernel manually from CWM.
I went to CWM and saw that it didnt updated to my new datas. That means it wrote I have folders that I used to have before factory reset.
So it didnt recognize my iodak kernel .zip file.
I don't know what to do really I hope you can help me! :/

Omni

You have to do all wipes and then flash Stock again.Try this.

Still same watermark and wont connect with qpst.
Any ideas?

Lenovo k3 note Black Screen coming after flashing CWM recovery.

After i flashed lenovo k3 note with CWM recovery and installed SuperSu-v2.46 using PDAnet [CWM] , i am getting black screen after lenovo logo. After that i tried clearing data,cache and dalvik cache but nothing helped. I can get into CWM recovery. So I tried to reflash CWM recovery but again the same problem. I had the same problem with my friend's phone, what his phone was running was twrp but we tried to install cwm and same problem occured in his phone too. I think the problem is with recovery.Please help me how to flash twrp recovery or flash back to stock recovery.
