[SOLVED]Rom Manager Boot Loop after selecting Backup current rom

Hi.. I installed Rom Manager onto my friends p500,it was rooted earlier.. but it did not have a custom recovery ..so i flashed the latest cmw through the rom manager app.
After which i selected to create a back up.. The mobile restarted (to enter the cmw recovery for backup operation).. but soon after the restart the mobile got stuck at the LG Logo.. I waited for about 10mins and it did not respond. Then i removed the battery and then power it on.. but it is stuck at the LG logo.. I am unable to get into custom recovery.. (power+home+volumeup).
Also, Mobile is not detected when connected to pc.
How to resolve this issue?? Please help
(I am able to get into emergency mode)

Even though the the P500 is "supported" by ROM Manager, ROM manager is extremely wonky with that device. ROM Manager is not the only way to install a recovery and IMHO is the worst way to manage that device. ADB, Fastboot, and FlashImageGUI are much safer alternatives. FlashImageGUI requires the 'flash_image' binary to be installed on the device. I've never seen it on a stock ROM for any device but it is usually included with custom ROMs. 'flash_image' can be extracted from /system/bin of any custom ROM and pushed to the device. FlashImageGUI can be downloaded from Play Store. The other two alternatives are a little more cumbersome, but just as effective.
I have written a Windows front-end for the fastboot executable called Android Flash Recovery. Assuming that your device drivers are correctly installed and the device can be booted in to fastboot mode, Android Flash Recovery can make recovery installation much easier.

[Q] Xperia L brick dead

hi,
I've been looking around the forum and couldn't find a solution for my problem
I bought a Xperia L for my child and based on my experienced with my Nexus 4 I wanted to install a custom Rom.
the phone is free sim. I 'm allowed to free bootloacker it.
After enabling USB debbugging ON and installing the drivers with flashtool (vers 9.13 on win 7 64bit) I managed to boot in flash mode and unlock the bootloader via flashtool (thanks to the key provided by Sony) .
the phone rebooted with the Sony logo and those coloured lights.AND USB debbuging OFF !!!!
I've tried to flash a original sony ftf (in put into the firmware C2105_15.0.A.2.17_CE or C2105_15.3.A.1.14_CE file in flashtool) but no luck. it tells me that is preparing the files and then reboot into "device" (usual reboot)
After removing the battery I've rebooted in fastboot and somehow managed to flash the custom Rom (.img) from Phantom (I can see his logo when I turn the phone on). but that's it.
I'm somehow suspecting the USB debbuging OFF creating me issues and the SD card being blank to not help either.
I've installed the PC companion lately but it does not recognized it either...
I'm quite a newby and my goals are 1st to have it working again then to root it in order to install a custom ROM.
Any help or suggestion is welcome

Try removing battery for 2-3 minutes and se if that can get it to boot or at least get to recovery.

I'm in recovery mode now.
I'll look in the forum for a modus opererando from that point but again any additional suggestion/help is welcome

ok.
I'm in the recovery mode v5.0.3.5 by TZ (guess is the phanton owner)
My SD card is formated and I've copied the phanton.zip file. tried to install... no luck. also copied the sony factory file and still no luck.
the menu gives me different options but not sure what to do. will still look in the forum but no luck so far....
I have not rooted the device (and do not know what to do), still cannot flash the factory rom with flashtool (as described above) ...
Any help on where to start from the recovery mode?

Welcome to XL world!
I think that you are a little bit confused!Relax...
First of all...,ftf is stock rom and .img is kernel.
So,first u have to unlock the bootloader and then u have to flash stock rom again otherwise u'll get into bootloop.Then u have to flash a custom kernel with CWM (which u can find in Development sector or in Original Development sector) and then flash a custom ROM via CWM from Development sector...
Hope I helped...

thanks Kazabubu, I understand the steps you described and :
1) I have successfully unlock the bootloader
2) TRIED to flash the stock rom (ftf) (using flashtool, in flash mode ) but the phone was staying in "Preparing files for flashing" and then disconnecting
3) I think I managed to flash a custom kernel ( phanton) in fastboot mode
4) reboot in recovery mode
5) tried unsuccessfully to install a ROM (stock or custom) under recovery mode.
NOW... extremely strangely I left my phone connected to my PC and went to buy some stuffs... When I came back flashtool had flashed the stock rom... and it's working again.... do not ask me how... I have no idea.
I''ll leave it like that and will "only" try to root it as it is.
I'll close the thread and again thanks for you help guys!

[Q] canvas 2 bricked usb debugging is not enabled cant boot into recovery

hey every one 2 days back i was able to flash lewa os rom on my canvas 2 .. when i found this updater in apps i downloaded the update of that rom i think it is called O.T.A.. i went to recovery mode and flashed it ..i flashed that update with out enabling usb debugging ..
NOW I BRICKED MY PHONE all i am able to see is a boot logo all the time like it restarts and shows that boot logo i am unable to boot into recovery or factory mode.. i have been trying to unbrick it for hours and days as its the only phone i have .. please help me out of this cant install the drivers or my pc wont recognize the phone it ends up unable to install usb .. am really worried i cant buy an other phone please any one help me out of this .... i want to solve it solve it asap as i have no other phone to use please .. I CAN'T ENTER DOWNLOAD OR RECOVERY MODE OR ANY OF IT WHEN I TRY TO ENTER RECOVERY MODE WHAT IT DOSE IS JUST RESTARTS AND SHOWS THE LOGO AGAIN AND AGAIN... PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS

Try flashing Stock JB ROM by Paplu using SPFlashTools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167244
I never flashed LeWa OS but don't Update Over the Air (OTA) as it might be downloading the update for that device (as it a ported ROM (I think)) the ROM was actually made for.
And don't worry. All of us had bricked devices at some point of time.
I prefer you use SPFlashTools on a Win 7 PC as drivers are a bit complicated to install on Win 8 as they are not signed. After that, download CWM img and flash it using SPFlashTools (tutorial to flash just recovery is also given or you ask if you are not able to do it) as recovery flashed through Mobile Uncle Tools also doesn't boot after factory resets and a couple of more situations.

[Completed] BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0) SP Flash Tool mtk6572

Hi there guys @ xda.
I need help with my mtk6572 phone which i bricked in a noob way.
I need help flashing it with SP Flash Tool which gives an error as described in title.
Here is how i bricked it.
Today i decided that i want to flash a custom recovery on my phone, so i did and it worked.
I experienced a bug on the recovery and decided i wanted to put the stoc recovery back.
I flashed it back and the recovery booted fine, wiped chache and did factory reset.
After i did that my phone got stuck on boot animation.
I then decided that it was a good idea to flash to complete stock rom back to my phone,
but chose the forma all + download option, so that the changes the custom recovery made
were deleted. Well, so i thought...
Right after the format i got an error that said that my firmware is not for my phone and failed.
Now if i try to format or download the stock rom (which i backed up from my device before flashing)
i get the error code in the title.
I tried uninstalling all the mtk drivers from my pc. When i connect my device it is picked up in device manager
as "unknown device", i then updated the drivers with mediatek preloader driver (and tried all the mtk drivers out there)
but the flash tool still gives the same error.
After i press the download button, and connect my phone, the bar at the bottom goes to 100%(red colour) then stays like that for 41 seconds.
Then it gives the error code and fails to flash.
I tried everything, from removing the battery, pressing vol+, vol-, power and all the combos in between, nothing.
If someone could help me unbrick my phone, i would be very greatfull.
P.S I have the stock rom backed up from my device and prepared with mtk droid tools for flash tool.

Help! My phone is bricked

My Lenovo A316i does not turn on anymore but can still be recognized by the computer. At first, my phone can be powered on but restarts at the logo. I made it worked using SP Flash Tool and I installed TWRP. The problem occured after I install an updated.zip folder through TWRP without Wiping. The phone at this stage was stocked at the logo. Then I tried the "Format all & Download" option in the SP Flash Tool. Now it does not turn on, but can still be recognized by the computer.
I already followed the steps from these videos

No because it's not turning on anymore.

Try to use button combination for your phone model
