Hi! After reading a lot of post on the Internet, I decided to install CM11. I root the SP with TowelRoot, installed CWM and create a back up, then I wipe cache, dalvick cache, and I wipe data. Everything was working fine. Now, I install CM11 from a zip, and then Google Apps, no errors were shown. I reboot the phone, and here was the problem, it shut down, but never turn on again. Even if i push the on button, it doesn't do anything. If i push vol down while I push the turn on button, i get a green light for a second, but nothing new happens. I f I do the same, but pushing vol up button, i get a blue light.
Please, Could you help me to get my phone working again?

The ROM you flashed isn't working then. If it shows a bootlogo it means that it doesnt work but if it doesnt then it means you haven't UNLOCK you bootloader which stops installation of CM ROMs. Read the guide I created here to recover: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/root-ultimate-noobs-guide-to-rooting-t2845520

the good news is: you're able to see thr green & blue light, you can flash stock rom via flashtool, but you'll lose all data
Problem solved
Thank you all for your help, finally I could solved the problem flashing the stock rom with FlashTool
There you go.
Unless you're having hardware issues, there's no such thing as a fully bricked Xperia SP.
Hey,I would like to get back to stock.
Rom:Crystal pa 4.4.4
Bootloader;Unlocked
Kernel:The one that came with the rom.
Device:Xperia Sp C5302
Can I directly flash the update via pc companion/or do I need to use flashtool to decrypt the files?
A detailed explanation would be appreciated.Please reply ASAP.
Thanks!

After all this, my phone got stuck in boot animation (arrow circling a head)
I was able to reboot in recovery and wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache but when trying to wipe data/ factory reset and got an error mounting message and skipped formatting.
Then i tried reflashing the zip as well reflashing the boot.img file.

I got a similar error last week. To solve it, i put the phone in fastboot mode. Then, i flash the boot.img from cm11(at least, I think that was that) using flashtool. Doing this i finish the bootloop. Then i flashed the stock rom again, and all problems were solved.

I apologize in advance if this same issue has been replied to elsewhere. I'm in kind of a unique situation and couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I'm got an N1 with 2.3.6 stock ROM, rooted. Recently I downloaded Titanium Backup PRO and while attempting to integrate dalvik cache to ROM, my phone rebooted into a bootloop. I'm assuming this is a bootloop. I get the colorful splash screen, it freezes for a second of two, then continues on, and on, and on....
Is there a way to get me out of this loopwithout having to wipe all my data, so I can backup all my stuff before I flash a custom ROM?
Everything I see about bootloops, mentions unlocking the bootloader and wiping all your data. I've seen downgrading using PASSIMG and loading stock rom. I'd really just like a simple way to get out of this loop hell and get my phone back up. It's in teh ship now getting it's power button fixed.
Thanks in advance
first thing i do on bootloops is pull battery
if no go pull battery and then pwr on by pressing pwr and trackball at same time--you can then get to recovery and maybe wipe dalvik and cache and reboot
i have never used TB for anything other than backup/restores, so can't help with dalvik integration
You might be able to fix it by wiping your cache from recovery.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try as soon as I get my phone back from being fixed.
Hey guys, I hope you can help. I got my phone back with new power button, Yay! When I try to boot into recovery, teh Nexus X logo comes on for a moment and then I get a white triangle with an orange exclamation point. Do I need to use ADB to try and go to recovery and wipe my cache? I've never installed a recovery image. Do I need to do that or should there be a stock image already on my phone? Am I SOL?
One more thing that might help. I notice that when I go into HBOOT, the phone searching for 4 images from my SD card and can't find them. They go by too fast to write them all down but I think some are PASSIMG, PASSDIAG, etc. Again, do I need to load a recovery like clockworkmod on my phone first and then go into recovery to attempt to wipe my cache?
I get the same passimg all the time--no problem
If your phone came back from repair, you are probably unrooted and hence the triangle. At least that is the way I remember it, but has been two years since I rooted
If that is comfirmed by someone else, you wil need to reroot and install a recovery
A good time, if you haven't, to install android sdk and root/install recovery the right way and have full adb/fastboot features
there other ways I am not familiar with
does the lock show unlocked on the screen, they could have relocked bootloader
the wiki has the instructions, just have to navigate to the htc smartphones and N1
jus to make sure that if u still got root. install su checker app from play store and confirm.
if not root using SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT.
flash recovery (4EXT is good) www.4ext.net
do a backup and then flash the rom u want
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Thanks I'll check. I only had teh power button fixed and not by HTC so I doubt they unrooted it. I'm still in a bootloop but I can use superoneclick still, so I'll give that a try.
so what I'm trying to do is wipe my cache without wiping my data. I don't think my bootloader is unlocked. Am I screwed?I'm in a bootloop, so I can 't install anything to the phone. I probably could put a recovery image on the SD card, but if my bootloader is locked, I'm guessing that won't work. I'm rooted. When I go to HBOOT, the phone looks for passim files and doesn't find them, then when I choose recovery I get the white triangle. I've try to flash a recovery image through ADB but I get an error, failed to load image. Again, is that a bootloader issue?
I'm almost at the point of just wiping my data and hoping I can get it all back somehow.

You really know nothing huh. The triangle is the recovery. Press power button and volume up at the same time, it will the show you some options like wipe cache.

Did you miss the "stuck in boot loop" part?
sorry,
meant that the triangle is your stock recovery--
you install recovery thru fastboot not adb
i would still, if you haven't, install android sdk on pc-unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and fastboot recovery--all in wiki
i think it was mentioned--holding down pwr and tb will get you into fastboot mode--phone connected and usb debugging selected on phone
you'll just have more flexibility with flashing roms etc and getting out of trouble
Hey everyone, I installed recovery on my phone and it worked fine but after doing so I tried to install a ROM. This ended up with my phone being bricked and so I flashed the original FTF file and now it works fine again. I rooted the phone after this and installed recovery and it said it installed properly with no errors. I then tried to boot my phone in to recovery by pressing either volume key when the green led shows up with the sony splash screen but nothing happens. I've tried it loads of times using both up and down volume keys but it does not go to recovery anymore. Any help?

sorry but what recovery are you using
TWRP/CWM I've tried both of them neither of them boot up the phone just boots up as normal even if I press the volume keys. I've installed the CWM for locked bootloader now though and it still wont work, that being the case my phone is a locked bootloader.
what device are you using and which recovery?
i rmb ZL has issues with CWM recovery like this.
Z, havent encounter any yet.
If you cant boot into recovery then try installing it again.

have you got superuser/super su installed and working ? when flashing recovery supersu asks for ADB approval
Well it would be an Xperia Z being in this category of the forum? But Ive tried re-installing and removing completely and installing again. Each time it seems to install correctly but even if the green led comes on at start up it wont boot in to the recovery mode
I even tried using XZRecovery to install it on the phone itself but that didnt let me boot in either

Yeah sorry for not answering previously I do have it installed but as I said, I gave XZRecovery su permissions and it installed TWRP recovery then I rebooted but this didnt work either. I just tried Recovery Reboot from play store and it just gives my phone a normal reboot

Okay try installing this one dont know of anyone which this hasnt work for, before go into supersu and look at app's, has ADB got a green or red hash
I tried that one before and it didn't work. Just checked my superuser and it seems it doesn't even have ADB listed, just some rooted apps I've used. I tried setting it to always allow in preferences but that didn't change anything.

do this
1-flash "another" ftf file
2-repair it with sony update service
3-go to settings > backup and reset > factory data reset (internal wipe)
4-root
5-install CWM
do not try to restore your previous rom or whatever. especially when youre jumping from one rom to another.
Start fresh.
This will probably work but I used the unbranded ftf file on a clean install so im not sure how much differentit'll be

I tried to do this but when I connect my phone to a pc nothing comes up, no pop-up, nothing on the phone, it doesnt even charge. It does charge however when I put it in a plug socket.. I think this could have something to do with it in the first place, my problem still isnt resolved what else can I do?
Are you stuck at step 1?
Try the newest flashtool (I think people are having issues with it, but worth a try) or the v4 flashtool.
And try another ftf file, don't use the same one that you used, or trying to use.
Hello everyone.
I don't know what happened but my device entered in the infamous bootloop. I tried to erase cache, partition, reinstall a rom, install a different rom and nothing.
My true problem is that last night I made a horrible mistake: I erased everything including my SD card, which contained the data for boot to recovery. Right now I can only see the SONY logo when I power up my device and nothing else.
I tried to install recovery via fastboot flash boot boot.img but I can't keep my device in fastboot. I mean, I connect my device and hold Volume Up but after a few seconds it continuous to the SONY logo and stays there forever.
Am I missing something? What can I do to reintall a recovery if I can't access my phone data?
Thank you.

Hello everybody,
I am having severe trouble with my HTC one mini 2: After an update to TWRP 2.8.5.0 the phone gets stuck at the CM12 logo.
After I got the phone, I installed CM 12 with TWRP 2.7.1.0. Everything was working fine, besides the well known problem that TWRP freezes from time to time.
Yesterday I wanted to update to TWRP 2.8.5.0. I performed the recovery flash and everything seemed to work fine. Also I erased the cache. I used the following commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0.img
After that, I wanted to reboot my phone. Unfortunately, this did not work out at all. My phone does neither boot to CM12 nor to recovery. It does not react to the Power button. I can restart it by holding POWER + VOL UP but the phone gets stuck at the CM logo and will not move further. Also, I can not boot to recovery.
Also, the phone is not available via adb/fastboot. adb/fastboot does not show any attached devices. Adb/fastboot can only detect the phone, when the phone was running out of battery and is attached to the PC but not yet turned on. In this case, adb/fastboot detect the device, but mark it as "unauthorized" so that i can not connect to it.
I am kind of desperate. I hope somebody con help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
braumeister

THX for your help.
Unfortunately I can not install another TWRP version as I can access my phone neither via adb nor via fastboot.
Both, "adb devices" as well as "fastboot devices" do not recognize my phone. Also I can not access recovery. I tried "POWER+VOL UP/DOWN" but it did not work.
Same problem
HEy guys,
like braumeister said... I have exactly the same problem.
Is anyone here able to help us? That would be great!
@fleischball
You are probably on a bootloop. A soft brick. It happens when you dirty flash ROMs.
The simplest solution is
- wipe dalvic cache/cache via your recovery
If this doesn't work
- wipe cache + dalvic cache + data + android secure.
- reflash your ROM
- again wipe dalvic cache + cache
- reboot
This method is called clean flash.
Hope this would be helpful for you.

After you reboot with pwr+vol up you have to hold pwr+vol down exactly when the phone reboots to enter bootloader.

Can you boot to recovery?
VOLUME DOWN + POWER
Once hboot appears, release the buttons and use the volume keys to navigate to recovery.
Once in recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache and then attempt to boot normally. If that doesn't help, I would boot to recovery again and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.
Hope this helps. Let me know what happens.

Install ADB and fastboot on your PC. Connect your phone to your computer and use fastboot to boot into recovery. The steps are already on the site so I'll leave you to find them.

The quote got messed up in your post above so I wasn't sure what you were having trouble with. Unless it's the systemless version, flashing Supersu (or any other root) changes your system partition. Wiping data or the caches won't fix that. The first thing to try is reflashing your ROM. If that doesn't work, you could use the RUU to go completely back to stock.
