[Q] Cant get into fastboot - Sony Xperia Z

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?

[Q] NEED HELP!!! moto x screen went black and is unresponsive

can somebody please help me? my screen just went black at work today and it does nothing at all now. if I hold the power button it vibrates once. if I hold power+volume down I get to recovery. I tried to reboot from there and I get the unlocked bootloader warning screen and from there it just goes to a black screen. so I get back to recovery and installed my back up and that didn't help at all. somebody please help me.

So the bootloader is unlocked, what else have you done to the phone?
You may need to reflash it with rsdlite.

OP you need to provide more details. are you getting the M logo? is it bootlooping? is the phone doing ANYTHING but getting in to recovery?
load the fastboot menu and use mfastboot to flash the system, boot and recovery images. you should be able to bring the phone back to life without losing data.

the only thing ive done to the phone is put xposed framework on it and gravity box. that was prob a month ago tho. this is the first prob ive had with the phone.

You may want to follow this guide to return the phone to stock firmware:

You could also try commenting out the line that overwrites user data so you don't lose your data.

Try plugging your phone into the original charger and then boot to recovery, from their try rebooting while still plugged in. If that doesn't work try this again but wipe just the caches and reboot while plugged in. I have had a screen go black before on other devices and plugging the original charger(car and most others didn't work) in and booting to recovery then rebooting would get it working again.
PS When you boot to recovery check your battery level.

well...I used the moto x toolkit and returned to stock using that. everything booted up. so far everything is looking good. lost all my data but that's not that big of a deal.

[Q] stuck on 'Erasing...', flashing doesn't help

Hi
I have an AT&T XT1058 with locked bootloader, on 4.4.4
I tried to rest it to factory, but it got stuck on 'Erasing...' (with the little droid) for more than an hour, so I reset it.
Since then it won't boot, only keep stuck on 'Erasing...'. I've tried reflashing it with ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF both using RSD lite and manually using mfastboot, but no luck - the phone still boots to 'Erasing...' and sometimes after that to the recovery.
I didn't find anything in relevant threads. Does anyone have an idea?

Selecting 'Factory' in the bootloader seemed to fix it.

It is more comlicated than that
The phone does boot after selecting 'factory' in bootloader, but only once - turning the phone off and on again brings it back to its 'erasing...' state. Besides that the phone seems to not be able to charge the battery

Were you able to get this resolved? I have a xt1095 doing the same thing when I flash a stock recovery. Just shows the android guy and just stuck at erasing... When I flash TWRP it doesn't get stuck at the "erasing..." anymore but just boots straight into TWRP.

Sorry for the late response, I missed the notification on your message.
I wasn't able to fix it, returned it to motorola.

Stuck on LG Bootscreen only download mode, LGUP didn't work

Hey Xda-ers,
I'm freakin out about my phone. I was using hangouts this morning and it just rebooted itself and got stuck on boot screen. It has NEVER done this before and always worked fine. I was on USS Enterprise ROM I believe. I can only get into download mode, so naturally I tried to flash stock h81120o (the version I was already on and rooted) and LGUP completed fine. Only my bootloader was still unlocked and it still was stuck on boot screen. Does anybody know what I can do to at least relock the bootloader so I can do a warranty claim with T-mobile....or get my phone back working if this is not catastrophic.
Oh I also tried holding down & power, no recovery...and cannot use the buttons to factory reset either. Then it loops and get stuck again.

Ditto

Did you ever find an answer to this ? Almost the same thing happened to me , i updated H81120p Extreme and phone booted back into Boot Screen and stayed there forever. I tried flashing H81120p using LGUP but am stuck on boot screen still.

How can i tell if this is indeed a hardware issue ? I am guessing it is though also the serial number falls in the problem range.

Boot-loop Help

Hey, sorry to bother everyone with another bootloop thread by I just can't for the life of me work out if I'm doing something wrong, or my device is more of a dud than usual.
So got the phone yesterday, did some ota updates ended up in a bootloop.
Now at this point my bootloader wasn't unlockable as I hadn't enabled it in developer settings.
By some miracle it managed to boot itself back into the OS after an hour of fiddling and i decided to enable the option in developer settings.
Now I've unlocked the boot loader and got all the flashing related fastboot commands working i've
Flashed a stock image using the miflash tool, seems to succeed but then on reb but once it's done i'm still in a boot loop!
I've been able to boot into twrp a few times (though most of the time I can't and am still in a bootloop)
Tried flashing a custom rom, but I always seem to be in a boot loop after attempting that.
Throughout the last few hours i've also managed to hit the os a couple of times but it seems very easy to accidently put it back in a bootloop.
If anyone has advice of something to try, that would be great.
(was trying stock image version 10.0.9.0, going to try and go back to stock Oreo)

Sometimes it goes to a failed to boot screen, while other times it seems to loop endlessly.

Try some custom kernel, or patched boot img

I've found in 3 Mi A2 phones (mine, gf and family member) the bootloop is actually easy to overcome pretty quickly by waiting. I got the bootloop with all of them when they updated to two updates from what they came with no bootloader unlocked or flashing.
In each case I plugged the phone in, and left it rapidly turning on and off. Make sure to watch the phone, it will possibly come up with an error screen a couple of times so just press to continue trying to boot (also a glitched screen maybe that says fastboot with no options, press the volume control and the option to continue appears again). After a minute or two the phone will get to the normal charging screen, at that point the bootloop is fixed just hold power button until it starts.
Longest I had to wait was coming up to 2m, one time less than 30s.

Yeah, A2 have A/B partition and if update is faulty and the phone ends in bootloop, after a few failed boots, it will boot from other partition.

I think something along these lines is how i managed to get into the phone the first time and enable oem unlocking.
After a lot of playing around I was able to get the phone to boot by flashing the latest Oreo image (9.6.16)
After that tried going to a pie image again from fast-boot image (10.0.8) and once again ended up in a boot loop.
Lastly I flashed a fast-boot image of the latest ota (10.0.10) and managed to boot in.
So phone is at least all working now. Thanks for everyones help. Just hope the next ota doesn't bootloop the phone again.
@NotOverHere: When the phone finally does boot up, do you find it's stable and reboots are fine after that?
