[Q] Custom Roms not booting on my ZR - Sony Xperia 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 ?

go in mounts & format system with all othe wipes
& try
+1 if the ROM animation is shown then rom must boot up
plz try again

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

I followed your instructions.
I flashed a .310 rom first and rooted it.
then unlocked my bootloader -- i got a bootloop
I powered off the device and flashed the rom's kernel and wiped everything except external sdcard
booted to recovery and flashed the rom and rebooted.
I am getting the same issue.

I had the same problem with eclipse when trying to flash a newer iteration. I tried flashing a bunch of patches and overclock without rebooting into the rom once. I would recommend factory wipe/wipe cache and reinstalling rom. if that doesnt work maybe just flash rom, boot and then reboot into recovery to flash gapps.
FYI, you need to do a factory reset the first time you install a ROM on your safe side. To be clear, you need to perform a factory reset on your SAFE side (ROM-side) :laugh:

[Q] OMNI AsylumKANG Rom flash problems

Hey,
I got little problem and I need some help. I wanted to falsh OMNI AsylumKANG (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591479 ) , but my n7000 failed to start system. Instead after samsung logo it restarted into twrp screen.My version number is N7000XXLT9. These are steps I made:
1. using stock recovery I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2-signed
2. then launched and rebooted into PhilZ recovery
3. flashed raw_kernel_r4_j43 and reboot into recovery
4. wiped data, cache partition and dalvik cache
7. flashed AsylumKANG_4.4.2_n7000_Build2.2
8. flashed pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20140111-signed
9. flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86
10. reboot
Afterwards as I said phoned showed samsung logo and rebooted itself to twrp recovery
What is problem here?
Thanks for help.
Should reflash Philz. Go to wipe/factory reset menu, then choose clean to install rom. Then go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Then reflash raw5, then flask rom.

Thanks for idea but I didn't help I flashed stock rom, then Philz then clean to install rom, wipe dalvik cache and the rest is just like from step 3 down. Same issue. I flashed once again stock rom and Philz, but this time installed paranoid android 3+ (pa_n7000-3.99-RC2-20131012). It worked. Maybe I just wait for more kitkat 4.4 based rom releases and then try.
After flash r5 you need to boot into recovery before proceed with lashing rom. Make sure you have done that step.

i9305 stuck on rom booting screen after flash

Was flashing my friends i9305 and now it wont boot any rom I flash... always gets stuck on the first boot screen until I take out battery.
I flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin.
I have tried flashing several roms (CM 11, CM 10.1, PACman 4.3)... Each one will flash with no errors, then when I reboot after correct GAPPS it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever and won't boot up into ROM.
Wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system > Install rom from zip, install GAPPS from zip > reboot (even here I wipe system/data/cache - still doesnt work).
Any ideas on why it won't load up the roms....

Well I figured it out... since it was never flashed or anything before (from stock rom)... I just went into the Mounts and Storage menu, and formated /cache /system /data manually and it finally worked.
Hope that helps

[Q] Razr i - no possibility to flash custom rom or stock - bricked?

Hallo together,
I seem to have done something wrong while trying to flash the rom "RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16".
Here is what i did:
- Unlocked to bootloader using official Motorola homepage
- Flashed CWM (non-touch) recovery using "Recovery Flasher by LeBobo v1.7", USB-Debugging was on
- Rebooted into bootloader and flashed "RAZRiRoot2" to prevent Stock-ROM from overwriting the recovery
- Tried to install the Custom ROM using CWM, but it fails to wipe cache (stuck on line "Formatting /cache")
Because it didn't work, i tried to reset everything as it was before to be able to try again - flashed stock-recovery using the Recovery Flasher by LeBobo, booted into bootloader and selected "Factory". The cell is now just showing the "Warning bootloader unlocked" warning and nothing else happens.
When i try to select the recovery in the bootloader menu, an image of a Android laying on its back with an opened hatch and a red warning symbol showing a "!" appears and nothing else happens.
I seem to have bricked my device, because i cant't really do anything now - is there any solution?
I read through different topics but could not find a real solution to this particular problem...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
It's not bricked
At the moment u enter stock recovery with that android and red warning sy,bol, u need to press bot volume up + downp. Than it will enter stock recovery mode.
Those are the following things u can do to get custom rom,
1. Flash another recovery, cwm touch, cwm non-touch, twrp. They all work a little different.
2. Flash the custom rom and wipe everything, The wip can take some time. sometimes it will be seconds, sometimes it will take a couple of minutes. Every recovery behaves different, and every flash/wipe too.
3. enjoy
If u really want to go back to stock, flash your stock JB firmware by RSD-Lite.
Thank you very much for your answer. I restored the stock rom using RSD Lite and did a clean install of TWRP.
Then I did a Factory Reset and started to install the custom ROM.
The TWRP is now stuck at "Flashing File 1 of 1 /external_sd/RazRi_JB_X-2014-Jul-16.zip".
Is it normal that it takes more than five minutes or is something going wrong here? Is there something i forgot?

5 minutes is a bit too much. But that's the problem with this device. Every device behaves different and we haven't found out a solution too it.
At the moment i can't do much for you. I can only say try to wipe the partitions mannualy. Wipe system, data and cache. and mount system. And then try to install it. Maybe if that doesnt do the trick try again another recovery.
This from KTR-ROM
Code:
- Enter in TWRP or CWM
- Wipes required: data, system, cache y dalvik
*In CWM mount system must format before (Mount and storage -> Mount system)
Thanks again - that was it.
For some reason, TWRP did not automatically wipe the system-partition. It had to be mounted + wiped manually.
Not the custom ROM is up and running well. Installation took 35 minutes for some reason though...

LP always boots in recovery - is my SGSA screwed?

what i'm trying to do is installing lollipop on my s advance
i was coming from CM11 by epirex, and i decided to try his SlimLP; did all the wipes, flashed rom and gapps with no error at all, and then the phone endlessly rebooted into TWRP
so i did a deep clean installing jb with odin; then rooted, installed cwm, flashed MaxiCM this time without gapps and... again the phone only boots into recovery.
what can i do? can this mean that my phone is dying?

Even I had the same problem . to fix this go back to stock jb using Odin then root then flash a ROM whose android version is 4.4.2[no need to install gapps] then flash the lollipop ROM it will boot up fine
