[Q] Help needed: tried to install Cyanogen 11, can't boot.

Hello all! So, I tried to install CM11, the one on this post.
Went into CWM, did Wipe data factory reset and formatted /system. when I tried installing the rom, it said operation aborted and it could not install it. No biggie, the post says to install cm10.2 before doing so.
So i Powered the phone off to copy the file over to the SD. To my surprise, now I can't get into CWM, Philz, TWRP, fastboot or flashmode. Whenever I press the back pin to power the phone off, it turns back on automatically before I have time to press the key and connect the USB cable. Furthermore, when I manage to do it quick enouhg, the green led lights up, but it fades away after 10ish seconds only to display the sony logo again, and a "can't recognize USB device" popup comes up in my PC. I've used flashtool with this same pc in the past, so I don't know what that is about. Also, whenever I try installng flashtool drivers again, just in case 2 things happen:
there is no xperia SP device listed and whatever i select it fails to install.
What can I do now? I had 4.3 with the eXistenZ Ultra ROM before all of this.
Damm, this is the first time this happens to me, I've been swapping roms for ever, and this is not even the first phone i do this in, had a galaxy s2 and a wildfire S before. I feel like such a noob
UPDATE!:
So I finally managed to fix it. I posted this after about 8-9 hours of trying to get into fastboot on the 3 different pcs in my household, all had the drivers at some point and i've worked with them and fastboot and this same phone previously, so I figured they'd still work. They didn't, I couldnot even get SUS to work. So i went to a 4th PC, installed SUS and the needed drivers and it only took like 40 minutes worth of tries. I'm in the software download part of the SUS, i'll keep this updated!
UPDATE2!:
So, it finished downloading but it suddenly disconnected, tried again for about 10 minutes and then got it going again. Downloaded the second time and installed it successfully. Leaving this up for future reference!
Bottomline: if you can't get into flashmode, try on as many PCs as you have available for at least 30 minutes each.

Don't use flash tools just install CM11 with CWM or something, use doomlord kernel to get CWM and install CM11 zip that's it.
Sorry locked boot loader didn't read it correctly don't use my advice .

No problem, it kinda sorted itself out by brute force connections :> Dammed sony, locking the bootloaders for real. I even got the sim unlock code from my phone company and it's still not bootloader unlockable at the phone settings, even though i can now get any sim i want in it -.-

maybe the solution was twrp... philz touch didnt worked.. hope it will work for you guys

When you on Cm12 there is no TWRP it's the new Cyanogenmod Recovery. You can enter it by pressing the volume down and up button after the Sony logo pops up.

Got the same problem, have been trying many different recoveries, no success. Does anyone have a definite fix?

Also the same for me. Cyanogen logo freeze (or sometimes restart phone) and this for the nightly buids of 201500130, 20150131 and lastest 20150202.
I had to do a fresh wipe with an AOSP rom to install again CM12. The first boot was ok after fresh install but on reboot, the problem was getting back.
I'm going to revert to the 20150128 nightly and look out the next changelog to see if a fix will be available.

Okay. Look at the Cyanogenmod page. In the faq they say. "when the light is purple press volume up button" it works every time http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Honami_Info

I've been trying that for days, and it very rearely works (mayvbe 2 or 3 rimes in as many days). My phone is in a real bad way - about 99.99% of the time its just stuck on the CM boot logo. Very occasionally I can get into recovery, but in order to get into my OS, I actually have to reflash CM. Simple boot from recovery never works.
I've tried installing fotaZ1_2.8.4.img (as suggested by a user on another thread) from fastboot, but can only get into that very rarely too.
I've also tried flashing the boot.img from the last few CM nightlies, but once again no joy.
This is getting real bad, as I've spent days reading threads on here and reflashing / resetting the phone! In fact my fingers are aching from stabbing at those damn power and volume buttons!
If anyone could please help or suggest a solution, I'd be eternally grateful. CM 12 is freaking great...when . if it works... ;-p
cheers
[edit]
Managed to get into TWRP, so decided to just wipe the phone completely, including int SD card. Thankfully TWRP has a file manager, so I could copy my stuff to my ext SD beforehand. Reflashed cm12-20150202 and it seems to be ok now. Done 3 or 4 test shutdowns, as well as reboots and its been booting ok so far. Getting into recovery still seems to be a bit touch and go though, but I can live with that for the time being I guess.

Any news here? I can't get into recovery mode, and my phone is now effectively "bricked".

I upgraded from CM11 to a CM12 nightly (the one with the broken boot animation that hangs). Before upgrading I had TWRP, and could boot into recovery by holding volume down while turning on the phone. This is not working any more. Have tried a lot of different combinations, but nothing seems to work.
Please, if anyone can help, give me a tip.
Btw: my led never lights up, only after a few seconds, the Sony logo shows, then the broken boot animations starts.

What worked for me was to only press volume-up after the Sony logo had appeared and the LED shows purple briefly. I then cleared cache and dalvik and was able to boot.
I already had fotaZ1_2.8.4.img installed, and had rebooted one of the affected CM12 nightlies.

you can enter recovery when you boot the Phone, plugin USB Cable and when the LED shows purple then hold the volume up button, that worked for me.
btw. Bootloop: flash the rom.zip again then it boots. after that install from playstore this Bootanimation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.appublic.cyanogenboot and install this animation. After that boot work fine and you can flash new updates without issue

Thank you very much, both of you. I could not get any of your tips to work, though this morning the strangest thing happened. When i got up, I suddenly heard the alarm ringing from my Z1. It was booted and seemed ok. I have no idea how it booted...
Anyway, now it's working again with todays nightly. Thanks again.
btw: I can now enter the new recovery (twrp is replaced by a CM one) by tapping vol-up while the Sony logo is showing. Rebooting directly into recovery from the OS does not work.

Updated to CM 12.1, no recovery mode, everything else seems fine

Today I've updated from CM 11 (KitKit 4.4.4) to CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). I made a backup, a factory reset and then flashed the latest nightly and Google apps. Everything was fine so I continued installing apps, restoring data etc. When everything seemed to be finished and the phone was as I want it to be, I wanted to make a new backup.
But now I can't enter recovery mode. When I boot the phone and press the volume button, the LED turns yellow as it's supposed to, but the screen stays black and nothing more happens. If I press the power button the phone reboots. So everything seems fine, the phone is working and I've got root access, but I can't enter recovery mode. I've tried to use ADB and fastboot but I can't connect to my phone so I can't flash a new recovery image. I can boot into fastboot mode with the LED turned blue but ADB stays on <waiting for device>. I've tried to update drivers etc and also tried another computer but with the same result so it seems there's something wrong with the phone.
In developer settings there's an option for CyanogenMod to update the recovery when flashing a new nightly - but I don't know if I can flash a new nightly when I can't enter recovery mode.
Any advices?

Update: With the CM Updater I downloaded todays nightly and applied it. The phone rebooted, apparently into recovery (yellow LED but still black screen). I left it in a few minutes, then it automatically rebooted and when it was ready to use, the nightly was updated.
So maybe there is some kind of recovery working on the phone - but I still can't access it...

Thank you, but as mentioned in my first post I can't get a connection to my phone with fastboot, so I can't flash a recovery image through ADB. I've also tried different apps to flash a new recovery like TWRP Manager, Rashr and Flashify but even if most of them reboot the phone into recovery mode, nothing more happens.
Is it safe to flash and older nightly e.g. the one from 8th August when I'm now running with a newer version?

Even if your answer in the first way didn't seem to help me, it guided me in the right way, and now finally it seems to be working
First I tried another computer. I thought fastboot really should be working and it did on the other computer, so the next thing is to fix a driver issue on my own - but that's another story... With fastboot working I flashed a TRWP recovery. The only difference now was that when booting in recovery mode the Sony text didn't disappear, but still a black screen and no recovery...
Then I followed your link, downloaded an older nightly and flashed boot.img, and now finally it seems that everything is fine.
So thank you :good:

Did you not use flashtool?
I' m back to stock..
Maybe later CM again

No I downloaded drivers from Sony and then flashed with ADB.

(NEED HELP!) Evercoss A65/Sprout 8 - Doesn't Boot Up, and Cannot Access Recovery..

Hello guys,
I'm using Evercoss A65/Sprout 8. And I'm using CyanogenMod 13 (Official Nightly - January, 21 Build)
And, I'm using TWRP as Recovery.
Last night, my phone is on low battery, and then I charge it.
Then, I leave it charged when I'm asleep.
In the morning, I check my phone and it was on the black screen, just like a boot loop.
I tried to reboot it several times, unplug the battery, sim, and sdcard. But, these things just doesn't work out.
I have try to going into Recovery, and it shows standard menu which has; reboot normally, reboot recovery, fastboot mode, options..
I've tried every single option, like normal reboot, reboot into recovery, etc. and it come back again into the blank black screen.
(So I can't get into Recovery)
I try to find the solutions, but I have found nothing
Can I use USB Debugging to reinstall the ROM and start the phone normally?
I never have this problem before, need to solve it very soon..
I need your help,
Any helps is very appreciated!
Many Thanks! :good:

Does it has Android M or L ? Is it rooted or unrooted ?

It uses android L, and yes... I rooted it

This is nothing to do with the ROM, ur battery has completely empty that y when u power on it blink then off again n if u goto bootloader,then select any option also it will blank
Solution- Charge ur handset leave it for more than half an hour,and check again,if still problem persist,try to power on with other battery.

I tried to to root evercoss A65 with Android 6 using "android one toolkit (updated)".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...oolbox-android-one-toolkit-one-click-t3030165
Rooting was successful as per tool and device rebooted. Device got hung at the android logo and did not come up. I waited for 2-3 hr, but no success. To recover the device, I did, factory reset but nothing help. It got stuck.
No clue what went wrong
Thank You!

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro - Stuck on Miui Logo

Hey,
I know there's a fair few threads on this but I've spent the past 7 hours trying to resolve this with all ideas I've found although to no avail.
My phone was on, working as normal although randomly it is now stuck on the Miui logo no matter what I try. It also freezes on fastboot.
The phone isn't detected by the PC now anymore either, the phone is only 6 months old.
Does anyone have any other ideas what I can try?
I've tried safe mode, reboot, fastboot, connecting phone to PC, having someone call me etc, no luck.

Fastboot is not "fast boot", it is a mode to install parts of the operating system from PC.
If your bootloader is unlocked, (unlocked lock icon at the top of the screen when starting the phone) you can download MIUI (Fastboot version) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/sweet/ and then extract the archive, and run the flash_all_except_storage.bat file from PC while the phone is in "fastboot" mode and connected to PC via USB.
If your bootloader is locked (no lock icon when starting the phone), then I'm afraid you're gonna have to reboot to recovery mode (hold power button+ volume up when restarting the phone) and select wipe data option which will erase all data and "factory reset" it. If that does not work, then MIUI is corrupted and you have no choice but to visit a Xiaomi phone service center.
You're in luck if you live in europe or china, since there are many official xiaomi stores, but if you're in america, there are currently no official xiaomi stores sadly.

Enter recovery. (hold volume up and power) There is an option to reset data there. It will wipe the data in your phone, but should start you from scratch.
