Please tell me what rom were you on previousy before u had this problem. Can u boot to recovery? If you can, try flashing philz_touch_6.19.3-n7000.zip and reboot to recovery again. After that do all wipes: factory wipe reset n Yes I wanna flash a new rom superwiper. Then wipe dalvik cache. After that flash omnirom. If you still can't proceed, then I suggest you flash stock rom first to let your phone boot to system

Ok. So I'll assume u r back to "0". So things to do will be :
1. Root and install custom recovery on your phone. I ALWAYS use older phils recovery + kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed (XXLTA is based on my stock rom BUILD number. Download according to yours) This will give you root (superuser) & recovery installed.
2. After flashing phils, reboot to recovery by using 3 button combo n do ALL wipes the best being wipe factory + I want to install new rom super wiper + dalvik cache.
3. Flash my previous post mentioned phils advanced recovery ( I Always use that vers. N NO error whatsoever) reboot to recovery again n flash your omnirom.
4. DONE

[Q] Xperia SP C5302 Stuck in boot logo! PLEASE HELP!

I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!

I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool

Hello, I have seen, it is the first time you are installing a rom. So please be careful!
You must read exactly the Instruktions from the OP.
Hello,
2. Reboot to recovery(only TWRP/CWM Touch/PhilZ is supported)
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
CWR you have used does not work for flashing the rom :angel:
Btw, when you are flashing a rom for the first time, and you have less experience with roms you should to consider, if you take another rom. For the rom you choosed is still in Beta status!
Take a stable or nightly rom. Anyway you have at least to install CWR from the above Link.
Good luck!

I used an old version of CWM maybe thats why :crying:
YES!! I have the ones you recommended installed already!, :laugh:
So can i just install the latest nighly ??? (for me instaling is doing the installation from the recovery is the same as flashing?)
Im in stock rom so can't really understand about the kernel, if I install the nightly or these one, have the kernel included?, or do i have to install the kernel? (and how??? these step is done with flashtool right?)

Yes hou have had the wrong CWM. Herewith you can install (Flash=same) every rom you want (build for LOCKED BOOTLOADER)! Forget it with the kernel. On locked bootloader you cannot install any other kernel. The kernel you need for a rom is included in the rom!
And again: When you flash a new rom - read the instructions from the OP :fingers-crossed:
Cheers.

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

Recovery

EDIT: SOLVED!!!
Hi guys! I have a question. I have twrp that I installed with the help of advanced stock kernel. But it doesn't look like a permanent recovery. If I install a custom ROM without a recovery, I will lose my recovery. Can you help me install a permanent recovery on my phone. ?
I have tried flashing using flashtool and it only boots into twrp and not android.....
Thanks !

The reason you lose recovery when installing a new ROM is because TWRP is built in Advanced Stock Kernel,and when you flash for example SLiMM ROM it reflashes its kernel.
That means that every time you install a new ROM you will need to reflash the kernel.

Don't worry, Im going to close the thread now . The problem was that i cannot flash the kernel on roms like PA or CM without getting a bootloop, but i managed to find out how to flash a recovery to the recovery partition and then enter it using a key combo, and it works quite well, perfect for my needs!
Thanks anyway!:good:
