I feel like this is going to be a long thread but I'll make it short as much as possible with as much details
I have a SONY Xperia SP C5303 stuck in a boot loop, it was given to me by a friend.
The phone was on stock firmware, android 4.3, unrooted, bootloader locked.
As he was using the phone while charging, he activated WiFi, after a while he activated Bluetooth (WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time) and then it just turned off, rebooted and stuck in the "SONY logo => Xperia logo=> Orange logo" boot loop and then it just fades away and blacks out and reboots.
After many attempts, he wasn't able to fix it and he gave it to me .
Now the first thing I did was flashing it using FlashTool with the firmware "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" but still stuck on boot loop, the only thing that happened is that the Orange logo changed into the colorful waves animation.
I flashed it a couple of times more, the same method, but still, the same results.
Next thing I did, I updated it using SONY PC Companion, after the update finished, it was still in boot loop (ALTHOUGH, the lock screen DID appear but I was not able to do anything, and the screen faded away again)
So, I sent it to a repairer, here's what he have done :
_ He did something (?) and gave it back to me with 0 charge, so I charged it at home and when I turned it on, still boot loop, so I returned it to him.
_ This time, it ACTUALLY worked ! The phone came back to life, everything was working just fine, until I activated WiFi and I noticed that it's not working, then I activated Bluetooth as well (AT THE SAME TIME, remember what I said at first ?) then the screen just faded away and back to boot loop, I sent it back to the repairer and told him that he hasn't changed anything and that the real issue is that WiFi and Bluetooth do not work/cause boot loop when working at the same time
_ He revived the phone once again but the WiFi/Bluetooth issue was not fixed and he told me that there's nothing he can do anymore, and he refunded me.
I can't complain though cause all I wanted was the phone working !! I didn't care less about WiFi nor Bluetooth.
This morning, as I wanted to root the device, I tried the DoomLord Easy Rooting Toolkit, after flashing the first kernel using FlashTool (Yes, I followed the steps VERY carefully) and after the flash of the kernel finished, the phone is once again in boot loop, this time boot looping on the SONY logo only
So the conclusion is that the phone can actually be revived. How ? That's what I'd kill to know !! (Jk)
I tried flashing again the "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU" (4.3) but nothing, then I tried the previous firmware (4.1) but still nothing.
Sometimes, after the flashing, when the phone boots for the first time, the lock screen appears but fades away again (unable to touch anything)
SO PLEAAAAAAASE !! If there's anything I can do, please tell me, all I want is for the phone to work, hell to the data or anything else, also don't mind the warranty at all. And I'm not from the US, so there are no SONY service points here
There's a video in the rar file attached down there, it shows how the boot loop happens.

I assume you've got no recovery installed? flash the william's kernel elf in flashtool. This will give you a kernel which has recovery so what you have to do is download and flash Omni-X, Nexus Prime's omni (my personal favorite) or Paranoid Android. These are all LBL Roms so you don't have to worry about anything at all. Also flash the Super Su binary. I'll provide the links to all these if you want.
Indeed, no recovery installed and PLEASE DO GIVE ME THE LINKS !! I'll try again and again until it's fixed, although I highly doubt that it will.
If all fails, I will just send it to the repairer once again to bring it back to life once again

I know he can't flash the kernel since he's on a locked bootloader. But if he flashes the rom as soon as booting into the recovery, then he will be using the stock .207 kernel and the Rom will boot

Hi Folks
Hope someone can help. Any issue with my mothers phone of all people
I bought her a new MOTO G2 last year unlocked the bootloader rooted and installed TWRP so I could install certain apps on it.
Today she said her phone was not working so I checked it out. It boots with the motorola start up and then just a blank screen . I tried a factory reset same thing. So I thought ,might as well try a ROM. I flashed 3 ROM's via TWRP the last one been minimal O2, I also flashed CM12 and I also flashed the stock rom all via TWRP as I can not use fastboot as the device it is not recognized by the computer
When I flash the ROM's and GAPPS with CM12 it just stays on a continues load screen . The CM12 logo, likes its loading to boot, it just never changes and the same for minimal OS.
So I flashed stock rom and same as before it loads past the boot up screen and then a blank screen
I can not flash stock via fastboot as my computer is not recognizing it so I was wondering if any one ever encountered an issue like and how they got around it as I am at a complete loss now. I have plenty of rooted phones over the last few years the latest been my G4 and I am yet to see a problem like
Any help would begreatly appreciated Thanks folks

I haven't tested it but try to
1-unlock your boot loader
2-extract the original system,boot and recovery partitions from your update file
3-flash them into your phone
I did everything I could think of to fix my Z4u, with no luck
It has no working OS atm and also no recovery
Tried flashing Philz recovery with no luck
After flashing and rebooting and showing entering recovery it goes into a bootloop
Tried an RUU the green progress bar shown on phone gets stuck at about 90% for hours and nothing happens.
If I fastboot reboot, it reboots and goes into a bootloop
Desire 500 single sim
Hboot 1.03
Unlocked bootloader, but I relocked for RUU
S-on
I am at a dead end right now and I could really use your help guys
Any suggestions? Maybe I'm missing something? :crying::crying:
Also if anyone has the stock recovery plz upload, it might be the issue
Happy holidays to everyone,
Yesterday i updated my s10 to latest update , the process gone right but when finished it restarted and couldnt boot.
It was stuck in bootloop saying first th bootloader is unlocked ect.. and then it vibrates and restarts on logo .
i tries connecting it to my pc but it cant recognise the device. I cant enter download or recovery the only think i can work with (i think ) is the force reboot(voldown + power ) but nothing else ...
I asked everyone in my town and nobady can help me ... please help the situation, thank you in addvance
