Hi, first time playing vith custom ROMs
I've SIM unlocked and unlocked bootloader of my old XPERIA XZ1.
I followed this tutorial https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-18-1-sony-xperia-xz1-compact/ in order to install Lineage OS 18.1 using TWRP
So I've downloaded all the software, images, drivers and such... then used adb and fastboot to flash TWRP.
When I finally managed to boot with TWRP my screen looked like this
{
"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"
}
The display appears to be somewhat broken or misconfigured, with a smaller version of the display on the top left corner of the screen and everything else is RGB snow.
Touchscreen is responding on the non broken part of the screen only. It looks like this as soon as the screen turns on, even before Xperia booting sequence.
I couldn't manage to install Lineage properly either. I got stuck in a weird boot loop. Taking up to minutes to boot with the lineage loading animation and a black screen. I was able to interact with the parameter tab but could open any app or do anything else.
Then I decided to restart from scratch and reinstalled a stock ROM with Sony Xperia Flash Tool, following this tutorial https://www.getdroidtips.com/sony-xperia-xz1-stock-firmware/
Now I have a working Android system running on the phone but it didn't fix the screen.
It doesn't detect my SIM card either.
This isn't my main phone so it doesn't really matter to me if SIM doesn't work, but i'd like to fix the screen.
It might have something to do with the fact that I've tried to flash a Lineage ROM made for Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact. Mine is not a compact, but there was no official ROM for my specific model. This was the closest match and I thought this should be OK. I was SO wrong, lol
I couldn't find another thread with the same screen glitch, but I highly doubt it to be unique. I'm probably just using the wrong keywords.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated
Thanks !

I also have the same problem with my device. it doesn't have any reset or volume button on it. I posted about my problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/android-box-stuck-boot-logo-t3127923
could you please provide the steps you took.
I found a part on PCB board which said recovery so I connected the two pin and I got it into recovery but there is no option there. there is also three holes which says debug but I don't know how to connect it to pc.
I had a same device and using Online Nandroid backup I made a backup of the ROM which gave me boot.img recovery.img and some other files I put them in the SD card and put the device on recovery but nothing starts and there is only an android guy resting with no option and since there is no volume or power button I can't get into any option
thanks
This is also a picture of the board
Hello,
I've got a weird problem with my M4
I've got the phone for over 2 years, it's the E2303 version. It worked perfectly normal until at some point it started randomly crashing (Note: the phone wasn't rooted at this point and it had Android 5.0 26.1.A.3.111 (carrier version)). The crash looks like this: the phone freezes for like 2-3 seconds not responding to any input, then the screen goes black, then it boots up normally. However it isn't rare for it to crash like that, then while booting up crash again in the same way, repeat a couple of times. In System incidents it's counted as just 1 incident. I also noticed that sometimes after successfully booting up after crash wi-fi, mobile transfer or airplane mode are switched on/off, not as before the crash.
I thought the problem would go away so I waited a bit, but it kept on crashing. Sometimes it can go for a few days without crashing, sometimes it crashes a few minutes after last crash.
I've tried fixing the phone using PC Companion (it also updated it to 6.0) - didn't help. I've tried flashing a stock 5.0 ROM using Flashtool (same as before: 26.1.A.3.111, but a non-carrier version) - also didn't help. Also I've got the phone rooted by now. I don't know about bootloader, the service menu tells me Bootloader unlock allowed: No, even though I've got the OEM unlocking switched on in the Developer options (I'm not that tech savvy in case of phones and I'm getting lost a little bit).
I've got some screenshots here:

I hope there is a way to fix this phone, this crashing is starting to get a little annoying...
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi there,
I'd really be grateful for any help anyone can give. Yesterday, my Honor 7C got stuck in a boot loop, restarting at the blue Honor screen continually until the battery runs out. It's impossible to boot it into recovery mode using any combination of key presses. It just keeps restarting.
Can someone please help? I don't really mind losing the phone, but ideally I would like to save some of the data on it, as it had been a while since I backed up.
I understand that the way to do this might be to flash the stock ROM, root the phone and then run a data recovery program like EaseUs. Is this correct?
Also, I have tried to flash the stock ROM but really have no idea how to do it. I got half way through using SP Flash Tool before I realised that the Honor 7C is not a Mediatek phone.
Also, I can't find the stock ROM (LND-L29) anywhere except on pretty dodgy looking websites. Is there a reliable source for stock ROMs anywhere?
Any help would be really gratefully received. Thanks!
B7C
@Bricky7C
Your Honor 7C has a Qualcomm chip-set hence you might use free-of-charge QPST ( read: Qualcomm Product Support Tool ) to re-flash device's Stock ROM.

Turns out my bootloop was caused by a hardware problem after all - ripping open the side of the phone solved it.
However, for anyone who stumbles across this thread with a similar problem, jwoegerbauer's suggestion of QPST was very helpful, but the tool on the site would not install for me on Windows 10. I kept getting an "installation was interrupted error". However, I found a working version of the tool at:
androidmtk dot com fslash download-qpst-flash-tool
[I'm a new user so XDA won't allow me to post a URL]
I scanned for viruses and the installation didn't cause me any issue, though I never ended up having to use it in the end.
Well, it's a bit of a long story, so I'll try to be as short as possible.
Last year, and after hours of searching on the internet, I found the solution for "Custom binary blocked by frp lock" on this forum (here and here). Both methods promised to fix the lock without erasing my data, but I decided to try the second one (it consists of reinstalling only the boot image with Odin).
Fortunately it worked for me on the first try, and since this method was not well known on the internet, I decided to make a video tutorial to help those who had the same problem and wanted to keep their data.
The fact is that, unfortunately, this method didn't work for everyone, and in many cases it generated bootloops or black screens of death.
And my question is: does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
I tested it on SM-J710MN and SM-G532M, both running Android Marshmallow, and the bootloops/black screens occurred on devices running Android 6, 7, 8 and (I guess) 9 and 10.
Starting with Android 6 FRP on any such Android device is automatically enabled once a Google account is logged in to a device. The only way to get rid of it is by removing the account from the device into which it has been synced.

Thanks for answering.
Maybe I did not express myself in the correct way, but actually I was referring to the block that does not even allow to boot the device and only shows words in red, as seen in this image.

But beyond that my question is about why does the bootloop or black screen happen after flashing the boot.img file? Does it have to do with a different/incompatible version of Android/binary/csc or something like that?
Ok, so i got this random Huawei P20Lite right?

Again, not my Picture.
Acording to Huawei, You have to Use HiSuite to recover it.
1. Put the Phone into Fast Boot. AND conect to PC
2. Open HiSuite on Your PC and click on Recovery mode or whatever its called.
3. i donk know i forgot.
anyways, i get this nice little message
(In translated, this means That: Your Device doesnt support System Recovery.
Bro wth
Anyways, our phone story doesnt end there...
I tried doing it without the Computer.
using eRecovery!!! not surprising i know...
Still, it was stuck on booting animation trying to enter eRecovery.
According to Huawei, "this message is displayed when a system file is replaced or modified, or the system is manually updated to an unofficial version". They were responding to another user with the same issue as mine.
I think that this is the Issue. Still, the instructions to fix it, dont work. (as tested above.)
Tutorials show the eRecovery method without the PC.
Here are some info i found:
Another Guy having the same issue:
i forgot the link but someone else on XDA Had the same issue.
please help!!!
hello sir did you have any luck resolving this issue (I've purity much looked every were but I had no chance)
