Hi guys,
Probably game over for me but just thought I'd ask. Got C5303 with locked bootloader but had rooted, installed the recovery and flashed cm11 on. So tried to update, cleaned device from recovery but ended in a cyanogenmod bootloop. Tried again but crashed in recovery, not sure if it's possible but seems like I have deleted the recovery and there's no rom installed at the moment. Any way of getting it working again?
Can you get in fastboot modus?
If yes flash a kernel with recovery. Boot into recovery, factory reset, and flash new rom.

Finally flashed a generic 4.3 after trying for the third time after installing all the drivers. Thanks for getting me to persevere. Much smoother than I remember the branded firmware it came with at the moment, might stick with it now.

Hi!
I just rooted my brand new LG optimus 4x HD, and when I was going to install cyanogenmod on it, the phone stopped working. I pressed to restart in recovery and installing the rom, but when it was about to restart, it only says something like: unrecoverable boot loader, and something with kernel. I don't know what this means, but I hope there is a way to fix this, because the phone is brand new, and now I can't even start it.
Some suggestions?

Just flash original stock KDZ file with kdz flasher.
If you want to install CM, you do not need a rooted phone, but an unlocked bootloader.
Check the respective threads for details on how to unlock the phone and then flash CM.

ok, i'll try that in a couple of hours when I get home, Thanks everyone! I'll be back if there is another problem
in the lg pc suite that comes with the phone there is an option in "Device" for "emergency firmware recovery" this should be a relatively easy way to restore your phone if it allows you to do it without booting up otherwise use the method posted earlier. to get into the correct mode on the phone turn phone off, then whilst holding vol- plug in the usb (don't press power button) this should enter software upgrade mode.
after this you will lose root and if you unlocked your bootloader will relock it.
i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 all in one tool to root and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40918727&postcount=108 to unlock bootloader, you can use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.
I hope this helps

I tried to root via the all-in-one toolbox, but I don't get how I am supposed to do... And after trying to do some things and factory resets, I'm unable to start my phone again. This time i'm stuck on bootscreen. And I can't seem to get to the S/W Upgrade screen again, i don't know why...
Is there something i can do with ADB sideload?

to get into S/W upgrade mode, remove battery, insert battery, hold the vol-, and plug in a usb attached to a computer (keep holding vol-).
hope this helps. also try a different pc usb port or a different cable (just to eliminate any variables)

Thank you so much for the video, it worked and now my phone is rooted and alive, now I just have to figure out how to flash a custom rom into it and the CMW recovery...
Good to see you ok. CWM needs unlocked bootloader not just root.

I don't know why didn't you understand my words but glad that you are running well now. For CWM or a custom rom, you need unlocked the bootloader not root.
I've managed to fix it now, I don't know how, but it worked thanks everyone for the help, running cm10.1 now
Is there anyway i can dowbload lg+ tag and quick memo? It isnt included in the rom :/
No, but I did a factory reset and flashed the rom, and then the stock apps werent included

Hi astr_x,
Do you have any example links for the respective threads you mention? I have tried adb and fastboot. I hold Volume down + plug into my computer and I get the Unrecoverable bootloader error that was mentioned above. In fact, I get this error even when I plug my phone to a normal plug (and not PC). Anyway, I connect my phone to my laptop (I always get the error mentioned) and when I type the relative adb+fastboot command in cmd (after installing all the relative drivers), I get "Error: Unknown device".
Any thoughts?
Hi, I lately asked for the Stuck and I got it fixed after all, however, suddenly my screen stopped working and only my LED is working now, I'm gonna send it back to Sony anyway.
What I'm trying to do is Remove CWM so the pink LED in the boot will stop blinking, Flash a stock TFT and Relock my bootloader, Could someone help me step by step doing this, I've been trying all days and can't get some fix, I'd like to send it back with stock settings.
Also, my Flashtool isn't recognizing my device at all when I try to boot it into Flashmode, fastboot does work.
Regards

I have the Xperia Z unlocked bootloader, have used both CM Roms and Custom stock roms on 4.3
Lately I was using a 4.4 custom stock ROM, I wanted to change to a CM rom again, so I backed up everything, did a nandroid backup, and cleaned everything from my phone.
I installed ParanoidAndroid, worked well.
Then I cleaned again and installed DirtyUnicorns ROM, worked well as well.
Then cleaned and installed PAC ROM, it also worked well, however at one point my phone froze (randomly), and I had to force-reset (Volume-UP + Power- one vibration)
And now my phone doesn't boot, SOMETIMES i see a red LED
I cannot go into fastboot mode, no blue LED
I cannot go into flash mode, no green LED (i think)
Flashtool says device connected though, without USB debugging
If I connect the charger, I get the red led + 3 vibrations, sometimes it keeps going on in a loop
Battery was at 97 percent when phone froze
Is there any way to get it working? At least so I can access recovery
Some help please!
The phone is connected as USB input device :/
I regularly use fastboot, and also have flashed ftf using flashtool in the past, so I'm sure I have the correct drivers.
So you're tried flash mode or you just noticed that the led doesn't light up?

I think you somehow lost your recovery..
Try flashing back recovery using nuts dual recovery installer using pc.
I had same problem with iHackers so i switched to other stock based roms and they all are awesome... :thumbup:

With your phone off and unplugged, setup Flashtool to flash the FTF of your choice.
When you're ready, press and hold the volume up button, and then plug in the device.
The LED will flash red and green quickly. You are in Flashmode now. Flashtool should be working away. Leave it plugged in until prompted to restart (watch the log).

Thanks for reply, but I dont have any led light, thats my problem. When I want to do something, like get into Recovery, I restart my phone and I dont have any LED light, when I plugging in the device - same.
I have the same problem buddy but if you have a computer just install a recovery by downloading the file from NUTS web page (search for dual recovery for z1) and let the PC detect your device. In command prompt it will ask you to hit option 1 or 2 and it's pretty self explanatory. Don't worry about the Led, just flash the recovery using your computer.
hello. I was using an xperia zr with a ported slim rom which was working just fine except for an earphone problem related to roms above jeallybean 4.3. So in order to give the phone to a friend to use i tried to revert back to stock rom using flashtool which i have done a lot of times. There was no error. i booted into jellybean stock rom and the factory startup service message kept popping up so i went with the use the phone option. The phone was working fine for about an hour then while i was updating apps from google play it just switched off.when i rebooted it the phone would boot up till the sony logo and then power off. The phone gets detected in androxyde flashtool and i tried to flash other stock roms but i am facing the same issue of booting up to the logo and then switching off.
Anyone ever faced similar problems ? ANY IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS ?

Use different rom(Kitkat/lollipop)
take the battery out from phone and connect the micro usb to the phone.(do not plug the usb cable to computer now)
start the flashing process .
when it says to connect the phone by holding volume down button
insert the battery and plug the usb to computer by pressing vol down button.
