bricked my phone - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

:crying:
My friend by mistake formatted the boot folder while we were trying to root it. It didnt start after that. I flashed "adv-source-v5.img" and the custom rom by @m3dd0g but my phone is now on infinite restart process, what to do. It can be flashed now also, I tried that, but dont have all the files and resources can anyone help me out please :crying:
The following things can still be done:
1:I can load my phone into clockwork recovery
2:I can flash files through computer
The following are the major problem
1:while in cwm, I am unable to access sdcard
2:the phone is on restart loop

2 choices for you.
-Download a .ftf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439438 and flash it with Flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319 .
-Download the custom Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438594 put your phone on fastboot mode (plug Usb while pushing volume up) and use adb for push the ROM to the root of your internal memory. Then you can flash it from recovery.

You can root without it. I guess you unlocked your bootloader if not you couldn't have installed the recovery. So for access recovery you have to:
-Turn off your phone
-Power on your phone and when you see the purple led press volume up
-Then your phone will boot on CMW.
And then you can flash the root zip.
But for root you can also use vroot amd it doesn't require to unlock bootloader or install any recovery. But as you already did all of it you can simply flash the .zip.

The problem is there is no purple led blinking although I restarted my phone twice and to double check I went in service menu and it was written
"bootloader unlocked:yes"

So now you can restart the phone. You flashed a .ftf? if so you loosed the recovery as in Sony recovery is on the kernel. You need to flash it back with adb. Which firmware did you flash?

Then when it is done go to this thread and follow how to flash the .zip for root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431252 just download supersu zip and flash it. Do not install the recovery he give on this thread, just supersu.

SOS: Help a Noob stuck at Samsung screen upon attempt to root

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Rangercaptain,
Thanks very much. Where can I get the kernel from and which one/which file do I need to flash? Also, how do I flash it? Do I use Odin or another method? Again Thanks a lot!

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!

Doesn't work for me..
When I install Cwm.zip and press home +touch screen it rebooted back in Android.. I tried doing the same with volume up, but it then reboots into the original kernel..
it's work for me...
So, during the installation of cwm.zip, I repeatedly press home and touch the screen. Then it moves to cwm 5. After that, I install the cwm 6 (update.zip).
Thank you shaaan.
Okay it works now..
You have to repeadly press home and touchscreen..
Thanks shaan . I used your CWM to flash the Kirillos13 Riple effect and to do a backup and works ok.
Some time is dificult to start the cwm 5 recovery , I do it presing all the buttons including the home button and the down part of the screen at the same time and normally cwm 5 starts.

The procedure is a little bit problematic, to be honest.
Stock recovery is having a bit of an issue when it comes to mounting internal SD (eMMC).
...Then there's CWM 5, that has issues mounting either. I had to throw in an SD card, then mount eMMC - which in fact did not mount eMMC but external SD.
why is it after i flash this.. i followed all your instructions even the tapping the screen.. and when i successfully installed it then reboot and try to go to cwm recovery why is it it comes again in stock recover and not cwm recovery? i try do install it again and it always turn back to stock recovery? have anyone expiernced this?

Ikr! The problem is a messed graphics file. So the issue is framebuffer related. Make a new recovery. Use the updated graphics.c and it will work directly.!

[Q] Bricked Xperia P [Can not flash stock rom]

Hi all, this is my first message, I always try to find a solution before posting but this time I'm really desperate...
Yesterday I was trying to set back the jelly bean stock rom to my "Xperia P" (I was on nemesis kernel + Enigma rom) device when suddenly flashtool crashed (still don't know why) while flashing, I was very worried because I knew that will probably lead into a brick.
And that happened, the phone is bricked now, and all the info I found talks about re-flashing the stock rom with flashtool but when I try it, it looks like flashtool does not recognise my device (drivers are installed), here I leave a screenshot of what happened when trying to give my P back to life:

}
The only thing I achieved to do is to set back the nemesis kernel to the phone, so now when I switch on the phone, the nemesis kernel logo is displayed but after that the screen goes black again. [so at least I know the fastboot mode is working]
Thanks for your time and many thanks in advance
Ok so is cwm working? If it is maybe you can try to flash enigma if the rom is on your phone and try and revert to stock.

Your the best choice would be to repair with PC Companion or SUS.
Once you are done build your own FTF file

OK that's because the unlocked bootloader.
You can begin repair with PCC and when it ask you to connect the phone in flash mode, quit and build the FTF, than flash it with flashtool.
Well, finally I managed to flash my phone to 6.2.A.1.100 I don't know how but I did the same on another computer with windows 7 and it worked.
I finally flashed the ftf file with flashtool and worked like a charm, I've lost the root access but at least my phone is alive again
Thanks to all of you!

You can enter recovery by typing reboot recovery in a terminal app on your phone if you got root. It is a stock recovery so it would not give you so much options as clockwork recovery.

This looks like a rush job to me, almost with microsoft and their os release dates. hopefully there will be an "update" to fix that. I know someone mentioned you can't do much in recovery.

Looks like everyone may have the same issue, only thing we can do is wait and see who can make a recovery for us. I hope there's minor differences.
Update: my device shows the same, so this proves that LG rushed the release of the device.

First of all: Pardon me for my bad english.
My phone is Hungarian T-mobile locked.It did the same.But after root, I was able to go to Stock 3E recovery.
To get cwm and/or twrp, we need to open the bootloader. In "normal" way with adb, I can't open it. Even with G2-s update.zip.
If any dev can find a way to open the bootloader,then it's much easier to make a custom rom and the cwm.

Unlocking the bootloader isn't 100% required but it would help a lot.

You can use this method to work around the SD not being loaded in recovery (install partition wizard home edition.exe and ext2fsd.exe)

DO NOT format the card when you start the phone, it will not be recognised by the system, but it is recognised in the recovery mode using terminal emulator.
I tried it, it works
Actually no, you do not need to unlock the bootloader, my sola has numerous roms on it, with a locked bootloader.
My motorola had a recovery also with a locked bootloader.
The only time unlocking the bootloader helps is,
A: CPU / GPU tweaks
B: (this should be A) Cyanogen roms
C: other start up tweaks that doesn't require you to run scripts on startup.
So it is (not) really needed to have an unlocked bootloader.

You're right,but I sad "easier"..
With unlocked bl,we can get cm and other roms..
For cwm(or temp cwm,twrp.. ) not needed,but it's better I think..
Pardon me for bad english.

[Q] RE: Recovery Problem

Hi all.. Quick question.
I've just started the process of trying to root my One Max (international) and everything has gone smoothly with unlocking the bootloader etc, and i've flashed a CWM image to it as my recovery, but once i've rebooted, volume down and select recovery, hit power, it says entering recovery but then screen goes off, waits about 20-30 seconds and boots up as normal.. Is the CWM image file wrong? And if so, can i just redo the process of flashing the rom again the same way, or do i need to uninstall this image before i can? Does any new image not just overwrite?
I'm just a little frustrated at this point because it's now unlocked and tampered yet i have no root access.

Go with twrp it roots the device after first time going through the recovery. I've heard of issued with cwm.

The reason i picked CWM over TWRP was because i'm familiar with it and like the UI.. TWRP just seems too basic looking. But my initial question still remains. Can i simply re-run the process over the top with TWRP or do i need to remove CWM before i can write TWRP to the device?

I would highly suggest twrp either way though yea always just flash over in fastboot.

Ok well i'll give TWRP a go. But do i need a specific .img file? Because when i go onto the TWRP site to get the version i need, it only lists Sprint and Verizon for the One Max. I'm on International so surely need a GSM or Non-US variant surely? Or can i just use the M7 GSM version?
Thanks.

Ok, now i've just redone this procedure exactly the same but with TWRP instead of CWM and it's doing exactly the same thing.. Why does it just go blank after saying "entering recovery" then boot as normal after about 20 secs? I really want root access but can't see how i'm going to get it if my phone won't boot into recovery.

Ok.. I finally figured what was wrong.. The .img was too new a version and clearly my phone didn't like it.. So i used an older version and it's done the whole process perfectly. So to anyone else having the same problem, try an older version.
Ok, hang on.. It seems i might not be rooted.. I've installed TWRP, done my Nandroid backup installed Superuser and a few root checkers and one of them said i was rooted, while the others couldn't gain access, same with Superuser and SuperSU, they both say they can't access binaries etc.. Now i assumed once the phone said tampered, unlocked and had TWRP installed that it was rooted.. Is this the case? I have attached some thumbnails of various screengrabs so someone can tell me if i am or if something has gone wrong.. When i did it on my DHD it was never this hard to root..
