2 nights ago I thought I would have a go at installing ULTIMATE ROM 3.0. I have flashed many Roms on my Galaxy S before and not had a problem yet. I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 installed.
However, this time- something went wrong. I don't think the installation completed properly. When I tried to reboot the system (to go back into my previous ROM) I wasn't able to. The Samsung logo appeared before the phone booted back into Recovery mode.
I tried to re-flash my previous working update.zip but had problems. I wasn't able to properly re-flash as the Installation would abort for various reasons. After doing cache clearing and data/factory reset I still had no luck. I resorted to reformatting the sdcard. Still didn't solve the flashing problem.
Throughout the whole time I was able to adb into the phone, browse the file system and I could push files on to it and take files off. But Kies wouldn't recognise the phone and Odin isn't able to complete a transfer to the phone (not sure why).
Today, I am able to successfully flash update.zip files (at least, that's what it looks like) but the phone ALWAYS boots into ClockwordMod recovery.
I am fast running out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestion?
How can I tell if my ROMs are really 'there' but I can't access them because ClockworkMod is preventing them from booting?
hmmm... me too.. stuck in a loop, that keeps going back to the CWM recovery menu, and no matter what i do, keeps going back to it... cant even get to the download screen to flash (again).... here i was thinking no matter what happens when installing custom roms, i can always flash to my stable secure rom, but not this time... need some software that can perform surgical operations, any suggestions?

Thats too bad guys,and i m sorry to hear that news.I would like to havean answer but i dont...
The fact is that since most people in this forum use some custom roms,and all of us think the same,that we can always go back,so it would be great if you give some more details about what happened to you,and mybe why it went wrong,and it would be even better if one of the BIG guys would give some explanation about this...
I already thinking of not updating my rom anymore,dot want to end up in looping too,so lets see if someone will find something.Good luck guys..
By the way,i didnt get it right,CWM recovery cannot load your backup????
I just got an idea,but not sure if or how it would work or not.
Since you can push file with ADB,if soeone made a clean backup with his CWM (o e mail,contacts,setting saved) and send it to you,so that you log in with CWM recovery and flash that ???
Just an idea..maybe stupid dont know...
Its not very clear if youve tried this already but cant you just boot into recovery through adb? or does that not work either?
So I'm trying to get my VZN Galaxy Tab back on its feet. After trying to get Gingerbread in it so I can use Netflix - and failing - I'm going through a lot of motions.
Okay. First I rooted it with Super One Click. I should have been happy with that, but noooo. Then I tried flashing GB on it (I wish I can remember which ROM I started with...it's a mess. I think the pit file was gt-p1000_mr? Does that sound right?).
When that didn't work, I went to the much-cross-posted procedure for returning it to stock using Heimdall and SCH-i800_VZW_stock. Tried it five times. Each time, it booted into the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logos, then a fast glimpse of scrambled letters for a second followed by twinkly music, then black nothingness. It would then bootloop. I attempted to boot into recovery to wipe data/cache, but I couldn't get there. Vol-Up/Pwr just brought up the logo and scrambled video again.
Since I was still able to get into download mode, I tried flashing another ROM...this one the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ" method. With this, I was able to also flash CWM so I have SOME recovery mode. Sadly, booting brings up the GT/SAMSUNG logos and I get the spacey animation, but after that, again - blackness. This time, however, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons light up, so something's happening in there.
Also, booting into CWM, I cannot get my sdcard to be recognized. I tried different cards, so there's something goofy with the slot itself, I'm guessing.
So nothing is really working, but since I can get into CWM and also download modes, I'm holding out hope that this is not completely bricked.
I just need to find the right method of getting it back to a functioning tablet. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all eyes. Thanks so much.
UPDATE: I tried reflashing stock using the tried and true method. But this time, I went in and flashed CWM replacing the stock recovery which never worked for me. I got the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logo, and at long last, the animated VZW logo. Then it would bootloop there. I booted into CWM recovery and wiped the data/system and the cache from the first page. It still booted and bootlooped the same. This time, I booted into recovery, went to the mounts and storage section and formatted the system, data and cache. Opening logo only. CWM again, and got a whole bunch of "cache missing" messages. But I think I'm getting closer. Back to work.
UPDATE II: So the farthest I can get is the animated VZW logo using the combo of the stock flash through Heimdall, then flashing CWM with Odin. Still no sdcard access. Anything I should try here? Thanks.
same question here
Did anyone figure out how to restore Verizon tab?
Hi all you clever guys I need your help!
Yesterday I decided to try making myself a new theme for my O2X and now I'm stuck in boot.
I have flashed my phone many times before but now I feel like an idiot.
Please advice me on how to save my phone.
After making the theme using a theme generator I found here on XDA I installed the zip file via Recovery mode and booted my phone. It then looped in the LG startup image.
I wiped the phone and ran back up in Recovery mode then tried rebooting but no luck.
I have also tried to flash with my last used Custom ROM but the phone is now stuck in boot and only shows the screen with the LG logo and process bar.
Please advice me on what I can do to save my phone.
On top of it all I have a problem with my PC so I can not install the LG PC suite SW and can not connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Why on earth did I do this....
Dont worry at all, are you sure you have wiped your data and cache partition? Do this and then flash some ROM (can recommend latest CM7 build).
If its a no go, you can always flash original firmware with nvflash (there's a tutorial for this, just look it up)
Hope I helped
All you need to do is reflash the current rom you are using now without a wipe and that will fix you problem.
If you get bootloop from something you have just flashed just reflash the current rom without a wipe and that will fix ya problem, for next time hey????
Can you get in to recovery??
Hi
Thanks for your inputs and help! Currently downloading NVFlash on my PC and will try it out.
Yes I can enter recovery by pressing vol down key and power button at the same time. (thank Good for that!)
do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rom of your choice, just make sure you have the correct ext 3 or 4 or you will get bootloop
Hi all,
I have a big problem with my phone.
I wanted to try out Resurrection Remix on my phone.
I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img with fastboot.
After reboot i saw the Teamwin logo and then i did a full wipe of everything, except SD Card (like i always do when i install a custom rom)
Then i installed Resurrection Remix M v.5.7.3.zip from sd and gapps, then wiped cache and pressed reboot.
No error with flashing, when the phone booted and i saw some logo's, took like 2-3 minutes and then the phone went off and started to reboot and reboot, had to take the battery off to let it stop.
Since then my phone isn't working properly, i tried to flash different kinds of stock roms with flash tool including wipe options.
No errors with flashing, but the phone still doesn't boot or it goes off after Sony logo then i leave the battery out for 10 mins or so then it starts and it looks normal, i can install aps, i can call, but the first time when i reboot my phone with this new install it's back to rebooting. I tried to leave my battery out for 10 hours but it doesn't help.
I tried to relock my bootloader and then unlock it again.
If i tried to install twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img it's going to reboot also, i tried airless or evomix kernel, then recovery starts but when i try to install a custom rom zip, and try to flash it my phone reboots after 5 seconds.
And now i don't know what to do anymore, so please anyone? help?
Thanks in advance!
did you try installing stock rom with flashtool ?
What was your android version when you first flash TWRP 3.0.2 recovery?If you are coming from stock lollipop then you should flash TWRP 3.0.2 (.228).Make sure you unlocked phone bootloader.Use advance clean in the recovery,select all except sd card and clean all.Then try flashing RR Rom again.Do wipe cache/Delvik after flashing RR Rom and before flashing GAPPS.

Yes, i tried atleast :
C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf
C5503_10.6.A.0.454_HK.ftf
C5503_10.7.A.0.228_TR.ftf
And used all wipe options.
I used Emma tool, after that i removed the battery from the phone for 48 hours, then it booted the second time. I charged the battery and i left it like this for a few hours, then i tried to reboot but it went off after 20 seconds, tried to boot again but it goes off after Sony logo.

My version was CM 13 (cm-13.0-20160801-UNOFFICIAL-dogo.zip) that was working very well, but before i flashed RR i did advanced cleaning and i checked everything except SD Card and USB OTG and a factory reset and after flashing pressed wipe cache/dalvik and then i rebooted.
The phone is off now without battery. This Sony doesn't have recovery, buttons aren't working and they never did, i can only flash twrp with fastboot wich makes it only boot into recovery and then i used this to flash custom roms.
I only started to flash custom roms about a month ago because someone gave me this Sony ZR, i bought a new original battery for it but when i call on speaker there is some underwater bubbling sound and i also wanted marshmallow and i hoped this may fix the bubbling sound, with CM 13 the sound was already better but didn't fix it completely.
TWRP won't let me flash anything anymore, it's starting to flash but after 5 seconds it reboots back into recovery.
Edit: Is it possible that there is still stuff in the RAM that is causing problems?
Edit: I thought i'm going to this phone another try. I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img and it boots, also this version didn't want to boot anymore but now it does. I wiped everything, also SD Card, i checked everything is empty. Before i couldn't wipe my SD Card anymore and in Windows all files showed double and i couldn't copy files. Going to charge it first and think about what i want try to flash. Wipe cache/dalvik and then flash gapps is a good idea.
Edit: it almost charged now, when it charged i will remove the battery again for the night, i will decide later what i'm going to do.

Someone maybe played with your phone in underwater to cause bubbling sound.I don't see any hardware problem in your phone.You maybe did something wrong or anything else that your phone behaving like this.Listen,You first flash a stock rom.Lollipop would be better because you can flash flashable twrp 3.0.2(.228) via flash fire or flashify app.I once tried flashing twrp img through fastboot and it caused bootloop.So I always use flashable zip.Fastboot for emergency.And try to reformatting your system pertition.I hope this will work or you'll need expert developer to help you.Maybe Daedroza can help you if my sugg. don't work.

The bubbling sound is a known issue with some Sony smartphones, on google i have read more stories about this problem, not only zr but also other Z models. The problem is caused by the second mic i think, if i use loudspeaker when calling and i lay the phone on the back the sound is much better. I saw on other thread about this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help/disable-mic-t3434997
On YouTube you can find many movies about this, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC6JbuQJ_gg
It's really annoying for the other person to hear these sounds when you are calling. They need to listen very carefully to understand you, but it's only when you call on speaker.
When i wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time i wanted to do this with apps on my phone. I rooted my phone with kingroot and used an app to check if the phone was really rooted. I installed twrp app and tried to install recovery but it gave an error. I tried to install recovery with Flashify but then it says that the recovery partition is not present. When i try to flash with Flashify it says it's going to reboot into recovery but then the the phone boots like normal. The only way for me to get a recovery on the phone is just flashing with fastboot or using flashtool. Doomlord kernel and XZDualrecovery don't boot, only twrp is working.

First of all change the kingroot with supersu.Kingroot root access control not so stable.Download selinux mode changer to set in permissive mode.If you are at LP version,twrp app won't install recovery or support it.flash twrp3.0.2(.228) via flashify or different flashing app.selinux permissive mode will let you to go to recovery mode.By the way,xzdualrecovery is for locked bootloader and should boot without any problem.I don't know it will work on unlocked bootloader or not.So try your best what I have told and this is all I have to share from my own experience.

I flashed the latest Lollipop and it's back to rebooting, i see the sony logo and before it says powered by android it goes off. I removed the battery again, i will try to root the phone and use selinux mode changer when it's booting. It wil take atleast 12 hours without battery before it boots.

Is there any problem with your phone?Did you experiment your phone too much?I don't get it,why after flashing stock rom via flashtool gives you bootloops if no error showed up while flashing!!Is this your battery problem?And I think so because few months ago my phone battery heavily damaged and therefor It don't charge and my phone didn't bootup but bootlooping.I first thought it was my mistake to flash rom incorrectly.So i had to flash stock rom via flashtool to go back to normal but unfortunetly PC don't recoznige my phone not even fastboot.I was worried and couldn't do anything and went to service center,they changed the battery with new one and my phone comes to life again.Mainly this was for my local charger fault.it also damaged in that day too.SO brought a orginal sony charger.But you said you brought a new battery too then how come you face bootloops.well if there is no error message shows up I can't help you with anything.Only better expert member can help you.By the way you can collect log via adeb fastboot if your phone fastboot mod work.
Here is the inst:
1. Install the Android Debug Bridge using http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
2. Instructions on installing Android Debug Bridge are located here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android- debug-bridge-utility
3. Run the following commands:
“adb logcat -c" (This clears the logs.)
4. Reproduce the issue.
5. Then, run the following command to capture the logs in a file:
“adb logcat -d > Name_of_Log_File.txt"
maybe it will gives some clues what is happening.

I tried my old battery and it boots, already booted up 3x times. I never thought it maybe the battery because it's only 2 months old. Thanks so much for your help.
I tried to install recovery with selinux permissive mode and flashify but i stil can't install recovery.
It says: Partition not found, your recovery partition couldn't be found. You won't be able to flash recovery images. You can stil flash zip files.
I don't think it's possible to have recovery on this phone, atleast not the normal way.
Edit: I flashed RR and it's working fine. I'm so happy it's working again, i never really used this old battery but i think it's not so bad at all. I only lost 8% battery with flashing and booting RR. I never really thought it was the battery because it was charging normal, i used it for 2 months or something without problems.

If it was a battery problem then change it or carefully use it.And the error you are facing is because the latest flashify has some bugs.But now as you are already using RR MM rom.You can download twrp app and use this app to install recovery.

I tried to install recovery, flashify hangs all the time, twrp app gives an error when i try to install recovery and flashfire says there is no partition for this image. I thought i'll do a factory reset in RR and when the phone rebooted i saw twrp. I tried with pressing the buttons when booting but no luck. I used reboot into recovery option and it worked. This is the first custom rom that gave my phone recovery.
I will throw the battery away and use the old battery, i can always buy a new one later.

OH!So that the old recovery occupied all the recovery partition space that you are unable to install twrp recovery.But old recovery should be replaced by new recovery,that's strange.well I don't know how did this happen but don't use fastboot to install recovery or anything else,It's for emergency.I'm not fully familiar with fastboot though,I tried once before and caused trouble. I hope your troubles are gone now.

My phone don't have any partition recovery, i tried 100x times with stock rom to boot recovery, with buttons, with apps that boot in recovery. I do have recovery with RR rom, but it's not in the recovery partition. I tried Tesla, CM 13, XOSP but still no recovery. I tried to boot recovery with all roms, but it doesn't matter. It's fine now, been playing a bit with RR and it's a nice rom. Thank you for helping.
my galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in bootloop . i dont know what caused it. the phone simply restarts upto first bootscreen, ie upto 'samsung galaxy note 4' and then vibrates and then restarts.this process continues upto battery is down or i pull out battery.the phone is not entering to recovery mode but enters to download mode.
i have tried installing stock rom from sammobiles but it won't help.i have also installed custom recovery twrp but that also won't help to enter to recovery mode,
i am trapped pls help..
You didn't mention how you tried to install the stock ROM . Did you use Odin?
I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.

hi OP,
did you find any solution to your problem?
Hello all. I'm also pasting this in the T-mobile thread in case it can be of benefit to someone. This is advice to use as a very last resort if you are experiencing the recovery bootloop issue AND you don't have the emmc failure bug. I had the recovery reboot, sudden shutdown with no warning, etc. issue for the past two weeks. I tried everything on Google and Youtube to fix my problem with no success. I flashed multiple stock ROMS and recovery tars (stock and TWRP) via ODIN, but nothing worked. Oddly enough, I never received the emmc error that I have read about. Also, in the few times that my phone booted normally, I even loaded the Wakelock Power Manager app, set it to partial wakelock and my phone STILL continued to bootloop. As a last resort, I bought a new battery, but the reboot problems continued in Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 7.1 Nougat and 8.1 Oreo ROMS. Well, here is what finally helped me to get my phone back operational. I had a backup ROM from a previous install and a TWRP flashable version of the same ROM on my SD card (in case the phone did not stay on for the full restore). I put the phone into a ziplock bag into a freezer for about 20 min. (thankfully this time TWRP stayed on long enough for me to do the following):
1) copy all the files I wanted to save from internal storage to a computer.
2) performed a full wipe (Dalvic, Cache, System, etc. Like when flashing a ROM, but this time also internal storage. Note: Please do not wipe both internal and SD card, as you may have a difficult time trying to load the ROM file back on the sd card (assuming you don't have a card reader).
3) After wiping, I was able to restore my stock ROM backup (or you can just flash the stock ROM).
I can't be 100% sure, but I think my wiping internal and then flashing the stock ROM finally did the trick. Since this morning, the phone has been pretty much back to as it was before. In either case, I'm sharing this with the hope that it helps someone else.

I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.
