Can't flash lollipop anymore! Help! - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I was using Temasek v17 before and I tried to flash the latest (v17.8) update. I couldn't complete the process. There was an error, it said "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system". Then again I tried Stryflex Rom, same issue with that Rom too. I am able to flash CM11 but not CM12/12.1. I tried changing the recoveries, then tried flashing with LP Roms a loooot.. but no luck. Sometimes the phone boots and loads but hangs, then I will have to reset. Sometimes just bootloop. Please guys, help me with issue. I don't want to go back to Kitkat. Whole day i was trying to solve the problem... and I failed!!
PLEASE HELP!

Sorry for the late reply. I got it working, formatted the partitions in F2FS. Though the installation still showed the same error, the ROM got installed.
Thanks for the reply halloarno

[Q] Errors with flashing - Help Needed

Hi Guys,
I was trying to update my rom some days ago and something went wrong, my phone was bricked. Now every time I try to flash a rom, I keep getting can't mount errors.
I have tried pretty much every method for fixing these, but every time I fix one error, another pops up, and it goes in a circle.
For example, I was getting can't mount /data, dev/block/stl10, can't mount mmcblk0pa, and soon. I tried installing a kernel, flashing different roms, flashing stock roms, repartitioning, not repartitioning, I installed a kernel with CWM Reovery and that worked well enough, but when I flash it goes back to the can't mount errors, any help is appreciated.
Have you tried going back to stock via Odin?
I have tried many stock roms (At least I think they are stock), same problem.
Had this problem to! I always flashed with odin. But when i flashed with Heimdall that issue dissapeared.
Dont know how but it helped for me!

Ok, I've been trying different things and now I keep getting this error no matter what I install, please help, this is getting very frustrating, no phone for a whole week.
Formatting /data..
rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata..
Formatting /cache
Deleting Meta Data

Installing Multi-CSC…

Probably best to flash stock GB using odin and pit file. If you have download mode, you should be good.

I've tried flashing stock roms many times, no result, can you guys suggest some? The last thing I did was put CM9 and Slim ICS Rom, and that worked, then I tried to reflash and it died.
Also, I went to format everything cuz I thought that may solve the problem (/format data, /format emmc, etc) if that help give any clues.
Right now I tried Darky Rom Resurrection 10.2, it goes through but I still get:
Installing Multi-CSC…
Can’t access to ‘/system/csc/XSG/system/’.
Successfully applied multi-CSC
then it loops if I restart, clearing data / cache didn't help.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is your data partition
I have had this issue before.
The way I resolved the issue was to flash stock (darky 10.2 will do) WITH PIT file and Partition ticked. If this fails try the stock rom for your phone/carrier/region from samfirmware.
You can't keep trying the same ROM/Firmware expecting a different result
Once I was back on Darky's I flashed to the ROM of my choosing

Please help! Galaxy S plus I9001 stuck booting into recovery *Fixed* :)

Hi folks,
I tried updating my S plus to ICS today by following the instructions listed here:
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-plus-i9001-ice-cream-sandwich-update-install-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom
I read through the instructions and it looked pretty simple. I successfully installed Team Win recovery, performed a backup, wiped, and then installed the CM9 rom.
After the installation, the phone just boots back into Team Win recovery. I tried reverting to the backup, but it still just boots to recovery every time.
Now that I'm stuck in TeamWin recovery, I'm at a loss on what to try next .
Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix the problem?
Thanks,
Evan
Sometimes when you flash new Recovery (usually when replacing stock recovery with modified recovery for the first time) you get stuck at bootloop. It means /boot partition was damaged. After flashing TWRP did you restart your phone and it booted correctly, or did you install everything (TWRP, got backup, wipe and install new ROM) at once?
There is a guide for i9001 bootloops

So is reflashing in Odin what you are suggesting? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yes, after I flashed TWRP it booted fine, the 2nd time I went into recovery, performed the backup, wiped, then flashed the rom. I've tried wiping both the cache's with no success. I've also tried reflashing the rom, wiping the cache's, restoring with the backup, wiping cache's again... nothing seems to be working
What would be different if I had installed everything (TWRP, backup, wipe, rom) at the same time?
*Edit* Reflashed through Odin and it worked great! Thanks for the help, I'm a little scared to start messing with the phone again, but ICS is tempting...
Got the rom working with a fresh backup after fixing the bootloop. Thanks again for the link divibyzero, the troubleshooting steps solved the problem, whatever it was, and now its running ICS
These Samsungs S+'s seem to be a little more finiky than my HTC.

Hello guys,
I think have the same problem, this morning I installed the Team Win recovery and after a reboot my phone come into recovery mode and even after a furthr reboot I'm blocked in a bootloop that leads me always on Team Win recovery.
I tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and even a wipe of the system but nothing happen.
I reinstalled rom but without success.
There is a way to fix this through adb?
Advanced thanks for help

You didn't specify, so I'll assume you have an i9001, if this is not the case, you probably shouldn't follow these instructions
Just reflash the bootloader as explained here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330) and you'll be fine. I had the exact same problem when I had installed CWM on my own device. It's not with adb, but it's not like you have to do a lot of effort to get Odin or anything and it will fix your device.

You must properly install Samsung mobile drivers on your PC, kill Samsung Kies process (or even better: uninstall Kies) and enable USB debugging on your phone. Then it will work.

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.

Problems with OctOS/TWRP... or maybe I'm the problem ;)

Update for the readers wh don't want to read the rest of the thread:
I solved 2 issues ("com.android.phone has stopped" was gone after wiping system, and the updating now works smoothly after i realized that the latest firmware is 4.0.3 and not 4.0.2)
The remaining problem is:
But i still get the welcome screen (like i wiped the data) everytime i reboot from twrp
It is not a ROM issue, because during the process i switched from OctOS to lineage and i still get the problem... what can that be???
quick info: TWRP is the most recent (3.0.3-1), firmware is the newest (4.0.3), Lineage is the nightly from Feb 14.
Original post:
Hello there fellow Oneplus users,
I've got some trouble with my 3T. I changed the OS to OctN some weeks ago. Everything was fine, i din't update the first 2 weeklys and when i wanted to update a few days ago (to OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170210-2251-oneplus3.zip) i tried but there was error 7... i don't remember exactly what i did then but when i booted i got the message "com.android.phone has stopped" and i couldn't get the message away (it appeared directly again after clicking ok) in the background the phone wanted to make a fresh setup. i tried a few things out, and the only thing that worked was wiping the cache, dalvik and data and then installing the rom, that was installed before (OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170121-0348-oneplus3.zip)
the next day i thought i could try it again (i hoped it was just coincidence), but make a backup via twrp before. but then same error... So i wanted to restore the backup. It went without errors in twrp, but the booting afterwards took about 15 minutes! After the boot: again the error message and in the background the "set up new phone" screen... even though i did a restore... so again wipe cache/dalvik/data via twrp and re install the old version of the OctOS
Next day after research: maybe i needed to update the firmware (4.0.2). downloaded it but i thought i would wait a little, because i don't have that much time to deal with those problem right now.
So today i decided to give it a try, rebooted to twrp, but then i thougt: "nah, i'll do it another day". So i really did NOTHING in TWRP -> reboot to system -> same old Error (com.android.phone has stopped) and data lost (new phone setup)
Ok: reboot to twrp, flashed the new firmware (no error) tried to flash the new OctOS -> error 7...
I also have the latest LineageOS rom (lineage-14.1-20170214-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip) on the phone to try out: wiped Cache/Dalvik/Data install Lineage: same error 7...
same with the old OctOS: everything's fine...
Longstory short: what ever i do in twrp doesn't work expect a wiping and reinstalling the same OctOS that worked the last 3 or 4 weeks...
What am i missing? Or is there really something wrong with my phone?
Try to flash the new TWRP, firmware.
and flash the rom with full wipe

TWRP is the newest, and (as already mentioned in the text) firmware was renewed during the process without any success.
What do you mean by full wipe? More than Cache, Dalvik and Data?
But still, i have the feeling, that this error is something not very common... I think i might return to complete stock, if the problems continue.
So,
i solved 2 issues ("com.android.phone has stopped" was gone after wiping system, and the updating now works smoothly after i realized that the latest firmware is 4.0.3 and not 4.0.2)
But is Still get the Welcome Screen (like i wiped the data) everytime i reboot from twrp

It's a TWRP and f2fs problem. You either need to change your data partition to EXT4 and/or update your TWRP to 3.0.4-1

Le 2 continuous boot loop (Unable to flash any ROM in TWRP)

Hi,
- Le 2 X526
- Phone is rooted
I am unable to flash any ROM via TWRP. I've tried multiple ROMs and the phone gets stuck and just restarts midway during flashing (happens during /system extraction).
The issue was happening even with stock ROM which is why I did a factory reset assuming things will be fine. Currently, I have wiped everything via TWRP and the system is empty.
Note: I get a bluescreen for a split second after which the phone restarts.
Please help.
first tell these thing..
which eui version u were using..??
which twrp version you are using
which rom u tried first...?
and was it running or it was also giving bootloop???
Hi,
I was using 5.8.019S (Rooted)
TWRP 3.1.0
The phone was randomly rebooting since 2 days with increasing frequency, which is why I decided to do a factory reset.
But after factory reset the phone was only in bootloop. After this I wiped all partitions and tried to install a ROM.
I've tried AOSP, Lineage, Small EUI and Validus - Same problem in all (TWRP gets stuck halfway during installation and reboots)
Note: I am wiping all partitions before installation.
