Got a strange issue with XSP. It has stopped booting into Android and only boots into recovery. Whether turned off or restarted in CWM, it just boots straight back into CWM, over and over. Even when turned off and plugged in to charge, it boots back into CWM (it has never had the offline charging bug).
It is a sim-free model with the bootloader still locked. It was running the original stock (2.254) ROM with various mods. It has worked well for 3 months and this problem has suddenly occurred. No changes to the OS or new apps installed (or even apps updated) for almost 3 months.
Any thoughts, ideas or help, would be appreciated.
Edit: Only way I can get it to boot into Android is to press the hard reset button under the back cover. But when it is rebooted/turned off in Android it goes back to only booting into CWM.
Maybe a hardware damage with the volume button? Flash the rom again or the stock to look it's go away.

Hi all
I unlocked the bootloader, then rooted the phone then flashed a custom ROM. All went well, then for some reason the phone switched off and for a few hours it would not turn on at all. I left it on charge and eventually I could turn it back on.
However since then I have not be able to boot into fastboot made at all. When i first turn the phone on I am clicking the up volume to get into fastboot, but I never get the sony logo, instead it goes straight to the boot image from the rom (the colourful X), and it does not progress any further, I think the ROM was KA revolution.
Anyone have any ideas? I am completely stuck
and I have followed the steps here using the Update service tool from SONY http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2216974
the phone detects fine but it tells me I have custom software and it can't be updated.
fixed now... its all good
Sorry for the bump but do you mind telling me how you got it working?
Hello.
About one month ago I rooted my Galaxy Note and flashed Phliz kernel, but kept the original ROM.
A couple days ago my phone started to have some screen flickering and battery drain issues. The screen started flickering and the battery drained till 15%, when the phone completely shuts down. This happened a couple of times. I always put the phone to charge after this, and was able to power it on.
But today this happened and when I tried to power the phone on, it stucked on the Samsung logo screen. And stays there forever. I tried to restart and even do a factory reset (I dont care about my data since its everything on the cloud). The problem persists.
When I put the phone to charge the battery charging icon appears and apparently it charges normally.
I am able to enter the Recovery mode (CWM Touch) and the Download too.
What should I do? Can the problem be the battery? Maybe I should unroot it? Flash a stock kernel?

Can I follow your video step-by-step even having a custom kernel (Philz) and CWM?

I did it. I followed your step-by-step video. Everything seen to be ok. Unfortunately the same error is happening, the only difference is that it's stuck on the Nexus welcome screen (the X), not the old Samsung screen.
It kept this screen till the screen started flickering again and the phone shut down, as before.
So, I changed the recovery to the normal 6, the kernel to the CM and the ROM to the Nexus 4. None of these solve my problem. What to do now?
So... I tried to flash a stock ROM (JB XXLSZ) through Odin. I did everything according to this video ?v=nmLm2pTdxk0 from youtube.
I also changed my battery to another (non-original) that I arranged. Now the flickering stopped.
Now I'm on a bootloop (like he was at the first try), but I tried the second time and it continues on a bootloop. Also, when I go to the stock recovery, it says:
"e: Failed to mount /efs (Invalide argument)"
It appears I bricked my phone? I do not have an efs backup.
Can anyone help me?
No one? Common guys, I don't know what to do...
Hi guys my Xperia Z doesn't start anymore, it's stuck in a bootloop. Before this happend it suddenly turned of, even with full battery. But I was able to boot it, it just turned of when I started an app. But now it's completely ****ed. Is it the battery? When I get a new battery do you reckon it will be ok again? I have a lot of pics on it and no backup -.-
It also doesn't work when it's plugged in, and power + vol up button doesn't make a difference. It only comes to the Sony Xperia boot logo, turns off and tries to start again, I can't even turn it completely off...
Any recommendations?
Ah yeah and it's all original with the newest software on it.
I had that same problem, and tried to reflash my stock rom using flashtool. The flash went fine, but it didn't solve anything, my phone was still rebooting again and again. Tried to reflash again then the flash failed, I don't know why...
Had the same issue but entering flash mode and flashing the rom with flashtool worked
Here's the deal, I have a sprout8 device (the Indonesian Nexian Journey One) running stock 6.0 with some xposed mods installed on it. Suddenly the device shuts down and when I try to boot it up it only goes halfway through the bootanimation when it shuts down again. I wasn't too worried as I thought it was just a conflicting system issue and I also thought it was time to re-flash fresh stock 6.0 to freshen up my phone anyway. So I went ahead and did it.
Here's where the problems start to show up, I had a hard time booting to recovery through the power + volume up combination. The phone suddenly shuts down on its own as it boots up. I tried it a few times and finally got to recovery. After that, as I flashed stock 6.0 the phone shut down again. I thought it was an issue with my recovery so I tried wiping everything through fastboot and re-flashed recovery through fastboot aswell. From there I tried again to flash stock 6.0 through recovery and again, the phone shut down. I tried a different ROM thinking it was a ROM issue but still got the same results.
After hours of trying to flash a ROM through recovery (retrying over and over as it suddenly shut down while flashing), I finally got a ROM installed. Then I rebooted my phone, but again it freezes halfway through the bootanimation (literally freezing the bootanimation) and refused to do anything. I took off the battery and booted up the phone countless tries trying to get it to boot up. When it finally booted up, I filled in all the Google startup credentials and finally got started on a fresh stock 6.0. However, I tried to restore my previous application data through Android's application recovery on startup but everytime the device installs a new application it would freeze up and shut down. This happened countless times. Then the phone, once again, shut down and could not start the ROM. It would freeze up on the bootanimation.
Then things started to get weird, when the phone turns on it should show the "Nexian" logo in all its glory before going to bootanimation. But here the screen gets all distorted and shows these weird horizontal (and sometimes vertical) lines. Nothing's wrong with my phone screen so I assume it is a system error. From here on, the phone refused to boot. It just shows the Nexian logo and restarts over and over. The same thing happens even after I re-flashed both my recovery and ROM. I even tried using SP Flash Tool to re-flash stock but still the same results.
Now, the device wouldn't even turn on. But when I connect it using USB to a Windows computer, it still gets detected through device manager as an ordinary MediaTek device.
I'm assuming now that it may be a problem with the /system parition where we install our ROMs in. The partition may be (partially) corrupt. Seeing as the device could still boot the ROM a few hours ago but freezing upon updates to the stated partition.
If you guys have any other ideas/solutions I'm all ears.
Hello everyone,
I had installed CM12.1 around a month back and everything was running smoothly until today. My phone suddenly got rebooted automatically and since than it is stuck in boot loop. Once CM Logo appears it again reboots. When I remove the battery and insert it after couple of minutes it automatically gets on without pressing power on button. It is not switching Off. Because of this I can't even go to custom recovery to flash stock rom. I kept Android Debugging off as it was giving BSOD to my PC. So please help me to recover my phone.
Thank You.
