So I haven't been on XDA in a long time, good to be back but not for a good reason.
I have an Xperia V which has both LED light and vibration broken. I flashed many different kernels thinking it was the kernel, but this isnt the case. Im trying to install Resurrection Remix Lollipop 5.5.9 so i need to enter recovery somehow, is there an option in fastboot to reboot to recovery since i CANNOT boot into system with 5.1 Kernel.

I consider myself quite knowledgeable at flashing etc but while devloping my app (Carbon Tweaks) I have experinced something i havent seen before. If i try to boot into recovery normally its cwm. And by any other method thats where i go. But recently most likely after one of my flashes if i use a piece of code in my app to tell recovery to flash a zip on reboot into it, it boots me into a weird mess. The image in the centre is a combination of about 4 different recovery images (From previous kernals) and the progress bar is a mass of multicoloured lines. My flash errors with a status 7 and the menu for stock recovery comes up with onlt the normal Un-cwm options. If i then click reboot system it will hang until i hold down the power and on turning backon with reboot into cwm recovery.
I literally have no idea what it is o.o I'm able to flash fine in regular cwm, Some zips flash fine in the weird stock mess so any help would be great
I'm on liquid smooth with franco r4 for the record
I'm using Novafusion's ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 -phone. I had been using Novafusion's Carbon ROM and, before that, CM11. I've never had any problems flashing the ROMs: at first I used Odin and then I grew accustomed to using TWRP. I bought a new phone and removed my SIM and Micro SD -card from S3 Mini. I decided to keep it as a back up and keep it up to date so I decided to flash the newest Carbon ROM from Novafusion. I did it via TWRP and Novafusion's installer using f2fs filesystem to which I had successfully migrated earlier. I then flashed the latest GAPPS and, for some reason, the flash failed (TWRP informed in red letters that it failed). I then rebooted from TWRP thinking that I could set up the phone and flash GAPPS another time.
And then... Boot loop!
When I press the power button, I see the S3 Mini logo and then the phone reboots. I can only access the logo page of TWRP recovery (where it says teamwin in blue background) but I don't get the TWRP menu. I can access download mode and have tried to flash Carbon and CM ROMs via Odin but even though Odin says the flash "passed", it doesn't help. I've tried to pull the battery out and wait a while, but it does nothing. I occasionally get the wheely thing (short lines forming a circle that doesn't move) but I guess that's to do with having the USB cable connected.
I'm running out of ideas, guys. Any help? Please?

Maybe your /data partition cause this Bootloops. Download and flash this wipe.tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1540051&d=1354753346 via Odin and flash your ROM again or flash the ROM and then flash the wipe.tar
This wipe.tar will wipe all your data !!

I tried this and now it boots straight to TWRP logo screen where it then, yet again, gets stuck. I tried this twice to be sure: first flash the wipe-file and then flash Carbon ROM with TWRP. No dice, unfortunately.
The problem is solved! I happen to read that someone had solved this type of issue by flashing the stock firmware. So off I went to sammomobile, downloaded I8190 firmware (country specific), flashed it via Odin and everything is back to normal now. :victory:
Hi!
Today I wanted to try a CM12 nightly on my Xperia Z1. There was also flashed an
own recovery, the Cyanogen Recovery. I was not glad with CM12, so I wanted to
reflashed Slimkat stable. But now I cannot reach the recovery, I only get a black
screen when trying to enter. But I am able to boot Slim. I tried several boot.img
with fastboot. With some, suddenly the CM recovery appeared. I also tried the
boot.img from CM11 stable to get CWM. No chance, black screen.
What can I do?
i am on archxperia 1.2.1 and when i try to install any android 5.1 based rom like cm 12.1, rr milestone 1, aicp, or vanir, or the tangerine kernel, the twrp recovery is not responding to touch. almost as if the touchscreen isn't working. but the power button works. earlier i had no problems but these problems started after i flashed these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/testing-flashable-adreno-300-series-t2901176 they are for kitkat but i flashed them and it worked. i felt the gaming performance was improved so was the antutu score. is it because of the drivers? because even after i did wipe the whole system with the twrp recovery using williams kernel for stock 4.3, the twrp from tangerine was still not working.
I have the same problem, Im on stock with cm12.1, and had to use cwm to flash, twrp doesnt work, but try this, let the phone cool by switching it off for a couple of hours and restart immediately into recovery and it somehow works, I guess my touch is damaged ?
had it replaced once and I can see the reaper hovering man...
Hi, yesterday i update cm12.1 to 0918 build but i facing freezes and heating issues (the system hangs and i had to force reboot), tried to install tangerine kernel to change governors but no effects.
So i decide to reinstall a previuos build, i uninstall t-kernel and return to twrp_v6. But when reboot to recovery i have bootloop and cant enter to recovery, so i flash back the fota kernel to have back the cm recovery.
Now i cant even boot the phone, when press the power button i see a blinking green light and then nothing.
Should i try to flash back sony stock rom (4.3)? or a way to recover the boot partition? and if starting from 4.3 i can flash 5.1 or pass by 4.4 (i remember the first build of lollipop requires a 4.4 rom to install)
EDIT: i found tangerine 6.6 and fastboot, the phone boots, but after the kernel logo stop loading. if trying to go to recovery i have bootloop on twrp logo. now i cant shut down the phone.

Shutdown your phone by using the yellow button on the back.
If you want to recover the boot partition, I'd suggest you to flash stock fotakernel and boot.img of your ROM using flashtool.
Open your ROM zip with winrar and extract the boot.img from there.
the yellow button only reboots the device but after some bootloops shutdown itself. reflashing fota and boot not working, so i finally managed to reflash stock 4.3 with flashtool. thanx anyway
EDIT: i think (but not sure and no proof) the issue was caused by latest twrp recovery

you need to hold down the button for like 10+ seconds,
once it vibrates 3 times, stop holding it.
The phone will shut down.
Glad your prob was solved.
Welcome
