i was on RR MM so
i was want to return to stock
i flashed TA when i was on RR and restart to flashmode to flash ftf and i exclude data from wipe menu in flashtool as i don't want to wipe internal memory but i forgot to wipe the data of RR
so stock won't start and make bootloop
i know the way to fix it by unlocking bootloader again but i don't want to wipe internal memory

To hard reset on MM, hold the power button for approx. 10 seconds.
Flash boot image from any stable CM/AOSP ROMs (5.1.1 ROMs), then flash recovery. When your device boots into recovery, plug your device into your computer and see if the file browser can access the device's storage; if not, install the proper drivers and reboot both devices. After backup, use flashtool and flash the FTF to revert to stock.

I got in tho this Android recovery mode <3e> With POWER+VOL DOWN and then pressing the HOME button when the litte driod icon shows up and i see this:
Andriod system recovery (3e)
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:Update.zip
Wipe data/facory reset
wipe cache partition
I cant press any of the 4 selection and it just says:
.
Formatin Chace...
Formating MISC...
And nothing more i just se the android icon unpacking thing. I have to pull out the battery to be able to turn the phone . What does this menu do? Why cant i press anything?
The phone works with no problem except bad battery. So what is this menu? I want to do a hard reset . I did with VOL+HOME+POWER down but it feels like its not really a hard reset because i can see all my old photos and my phone is still rooted, Isn't a hard reset suppose to wipe the root?
Thanks!
This menu is Android Recovery.
You can install CWM Recovery by Paul which has many options, one of the most important are nandroid backup and flashing custom ROMs.
The stock Recovery doesn't have many options, as you see, this tool is just for basic operations, like making factory reset and flashing signed update zip's.
But why dosent anything happen when i press Wipe data/factory reset?

It will wipe your /data and /cache partitions and will remove installed apps, custom settings, such as Google Account, but won't remove root.
To remove root you need to reflash /system partition with a stock image, such as Paul's NVflash v10B ROM:

Can somone explain the difference between (full) wipe, factory reset, ...
Is a wipe the same as format?
Is there no difference, or does nobody know it?
A full wipe is when you delete everything on your phone. A full wipe is needed every time before flashing a stock or custom rom. It will delete everything on your phone and you will not even be able to boot. Only Clockworkmod and the Download Mode will be left. Meanwhile, a factory reset will only erase data from your phone's internal storage. Factory reset is suitable only when you are in stock rom and a non-rooted device. It is dangerous to do a factory reset if you are rooted or having a custom rom. You will brick your device.

First installation needs a full wipe! (Updating to newer releases a dirty flash will do)...

Hello people!
I have a sony ericsson xperia X8 and i have it rooted.I want to factory reset it and i dont know if it will brake on the starting screen.
I have also a custom ROM on it...More info:
Model number: E15i
Kernel Version:2.6.29.6-nAa-14
ROM Version:FireDroid 2.3.7(2.4)
Bootloader: Unlocked
Both Recovery modes are installed...
So what i wanted to ask is if i will lose root/unlocked bootloader/custom rom if i do a data wipe/factory reset from recovery.Do i have to lock the bootloader,then unroot it to factory reset it and then do everything all over again or just unroot and the unlocked bootloader and kernel will stay the same?
Best regards,
iNoobsTroller
When you Factory Reset/Full Wipe from the recovery you will not lose your root status and your bootloader wont be locked again. But your custom rom will be removed and so you have to flash the rom once more.

If you factory reset your phone,your phone all data including your rom will be removed. But your device will still be Rooted and its Bootloader will remain unlocked. Your kernel too will be there as it is. The only thing thats going to get removed is your Custom Rom(In your case Firedroid). So after Factory Resetting you will get stuck at the kernel logo(nAa 14's logo). But its just the part of the game. This happens because there is no Rom installed in the phone to boot into, so you will have to install your Custom Rom again from the recovery.

Ok thanks a lot mate!Also how to Full wipe my phone?I have CWM-based recovery 5.0.2.8.Should i erase my SD card?and if i do will i be able to access it?
Go to the CMW recovery. Here you will find something like 'Full wipe/Factory Reset' select that option. Now you will also find "Clear Cache" in your screen do that too. Then go to 'Advanced" panel in CMW, there you will find 'Wipe Dalvik-Cache" and 'Wipe Battery Stats" and do that options too.
And always remember dont say 'Thanks" just press that button.

Yeah i did.Also there is no FullWipe button...So i did everything all over again to install new rom.Can i delete the files from my sd?i think the rom will create new ones in the following boot.
Of course. You can delete all the files from your SD Card but if you have any apps moved to your SD Card then you will lose them. So just move those apps back to your phone and then wipe the SD Card. Then you can move them back to SD Card again.

Yes, factory reset through stock recovery erases your internal storage.
After you root & flash custom recovery like TWRP, factory reset wont erase internal storage.
I have Xperia Z3c 5.1.1 rooted with locked bootloader. It is on wifi only. Yesterday I've turned wifi on and suddenly have got device off. I tried to reboot. I see the Xperia logo and bluish Xperia start screen with waving elements. However, the home screen and apps are not appeared, have just black screen. The battery is fully charged (green led). I tried several times reboot today as well with the same result. I believe the phone is soft bricked.
The phone is rooted with NDR Utils and TeamWin Recovery (TWRP). I also have Titanium backup.
After reading this forum I found several ways to unbrick the phone:
1. Soft reset (Power + VolUP) up to 1 vibration.
2. Hard reset (Power + VolUP) up to 3 vibrations.
3.Use flashtool (flashmode) and flash ftf file. Should I flash Kernel as well?
4. Use phone System recovery (Power + VolDown).
Which method I should try first? Can I save root and my current Lollipop firmware or I should go and start from the scratch with rooting and flashing 5.1 again?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Try soft reset and hard reset. This don't break your phone but it is worth a try. If this will not work do NAND backup (full backup of phone) in recovery. Now you can try clear cache in TWRP (wipe -> advanced wipe -> check cache -> swipe to wipe). If this don't work try clear dalvik/art cache.
If this metods didn't work flash same rom (if rom was't pre-rooted root after flash). If system starts you can restore NAND backup without system partition and cache.
If system don't start after restore backup the last chance is clear rom flash.
I don't know where the problem is but in my place I would do that
Thank you krzysiek546 for your help.
I have tried soft and hard reset, both unsuccesful. I made backup and wiped cache and dalvik from within TWRP. The phone after apps optimization has started the system (there was black screen but I was able to see home and Back buttons, which were non-functional, i.e non-responsive.) The screen became black again after a few secs and did not return to the life then.
I think I'm going to flash the Rom. My question is there is any chance to get brick again in case I will restore from the TWRP backup (if there was a virus or something?). May be I should wipe data, cache and dalvik and only then made a backup?
Also, when you saying "a clear rom flash" as a last chance do you mean factory reset?
Thank you.
Don't wipe data before backup. This is like doing backup after format system. It doesn't make sense.
Have you tried this metod with flash with nand backup and flash same rom (zip from twrp or ftf from flashtool) and restoring data without system partition (it's important)? In this i mean something corrupted system files. In this metod you can save your data. You just reinstall system and restore data from nand backup.
When I sayed "a clear rom flash" i mean wiping all data in recovery and flash rom from flashtool or twrp without restoring anything. You can do it first. I think now it's beter because you can check did that fixed your problem and if this "clear rom flash" repair your problem you can restore data from backup.
As to your question. Yes you can get brick from restoring data from twrp but in my opinion this virus or something must have root permissions to do this.
After installing the newest supersu, I also get this bootloop. Is there a chance to undo this without wiping data?
Edit: ok, after hard reset, flashing SU, cleaning caches etc. (which all did not help) I reflashed the ROM, now it works again. Pheeew.

Try to install SuperSU v2.81 - author apologized for inconvenience caused regarding 2.80 update. I got this bootloop too and solved it by installing SuperSU v2.81.

When I had that error, it was still V2.80 and no update round the corner.
Thank you for the link. Worked great for me. Installed per TWRP.
Well, in my case I didn't updated SuperSU, just have turned on wifi. I think the problem may be in Wallpaper app I have installed previously. It changes wallpaper every day, but I noticed sometimes the background of my home screen where all apps are became black.
Anyway, only "clear rom flash" with wiping cache, dalvik and data helped me. I then installed pre-rooted Lollipop ROM I made before and restored all custom apps from the Titanium backup. BTW, don't try to restore system apps from the Titanium, I've got the error with Xperia keyboard and have to make a restore whole system from TWRP.
Thank you krzysiek546 very much for your help.

I also got bootloop after installing latest SuperSU from Google Play.
How can I install 2.81 (or 2.79) when phone is in bootloop?
