Boot stuck Xperia Z5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
So, here is the story for which I need help. I'm used to reflash samsung phones and recently I ended up with Xperia Z5. I wanted to put on lineage os, because the stock is not giving me enough options. I decided that I'll proceed as any samsung phone before and that I'll just put TWRP on the phone and do the things. I unlocked the bootloader and followed the following guide youtu be/fdhAPeTJK6Y (I pasted the link like this to skip the "10 posts before links" thingy), BUT I didn't flashed the "boot.img" file before the recovery. After that I restarted the phone, entered TWRP, backed up my stock android just in case and totally forgot that I have explorer from the TWRP and I can mount my phone to get the old image and put the new directly on, so I restarted the phone and now it's in a boot stuck. I can't enter in any mode through the volume buttons. When the charge is dead, the phone goes off and when I plug it to charge it tries to boot and gets stuck on the screen from the image below. Any ideas how to fix it?

[Q] Another Stupid Noob bricked his Z2 ... help!

Im a stupid noob.
With that out of the way i still want to ask for help.
I bought a Z2 two days ago and wanted to throw on the Cyanogen M9 Snapshot. It^s my first time with android and my first time
modding my phone. Maybe a little too much first times
I followed all the steps aka unlocking the phone ... recovery mode ... wipe previous data ... and loaded the Cyanogen M9 snapshot.
After Reboot i ended up in BootLoop and started checking for errors ... what i found was that my wipe didnt work. This is the message i get
all the time when i try to do the wipe/factory reset:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Any thoughts what i could do?

recover your device through this for now, back to stock
im not sure what recovery you used but try using this one as there should be no problems with anything system related, you need to use flashtool from flashtool.net to flash this

Another S3 boot loop problem

Hi
I have an S3 that I installed CWM on and OmniRom kitkat on. I have had it going well for about 2 years now, but the other day my phone ran flat and when I tried to switch it on it went into a boot loop. I have tried reflashing the rom and tried other roms. Wiped data, cache etc as per all the tutorials. Eventually I tried the stock rom using odin. Odin ran well with no errors. But now my phone now loops between the samsung logo and the Android logo. I no longer have CWM because of the stock rom.
What else can I try.
thanks in advance.
Try the rescue firmware in general forum and the pit file, the emmc was corrupted/damaged when the battery went flat.
BoomBoomer
thanks so much this got me on the right track and after much trial an error i managed to get my phone back with stock firmware.
I have this problem though. This screen pops up on the home page, just cannot get rid of it, any ideas?:

@Hoeist
Did you use Easy Installer
to flash /e/OS?
Yes. On the meanwhile I discovered what's wrong.
so instead of booting to twrp (winteam), as explained in the setup,it boots in the standard recovery.
I'll try it again by first installing winteam. But what I'm wondering, the latest version of eos is oreo. My phone is android 10. Will it give an error or worse if I flash a oreo zip?
I'm net to jailbreaking phones so many things I don't know.

(help pls) Mi A3 - TWRP can't go past its logo screen

Hi!
Yesterday, I decided to change my rom, so i wanted to make a backup of my entire phone in TWRP. My current rom (an unofficial android 12 pixelexperience rom) comes with a recovery, so it replaced TWRP the last time i installed it. Like half a year ago, i used twrp (twrp-3.3.1-17-laurel_sprout-Q-mauronofrio) on this device, everything worked just fine. Now I flashed twrp using the usual commands (fastboot flash boot twrp.img), it finished without any errors. Then I force rebooted into recovery, and the TWRP logo screen just stayed on, nothing happened, except that adb started up, and i was able to connect to my phone over adb.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After this, when i rebooted it normally, it went to this TWRP screen. I tried switching the active slots, erasing the current recovery, trying out different versions of TWRP, but none of them worked.
Is there a fix for this? I would like to backup my entire phone with TWRP before changing roms.
