Hey xda!
As you probably guessed by the title, my Xperia E (c1504) has been soft bricked. :crying::crying:
Here is what happened:I installed Pimp My ROM(beta) from Google Play, and became pretty curious about the 'pimp my beats' app mod.
I downloaded the assets, and pressed install.
nothing happened(even after reebot) .
So, (thanks to my daredevil nature) i went to the folder where pump my ROM had downloaded the assets fourth mod. I found a .zip file in it, which I extracted right there. It had a folder called 'system' in which there were 3-4 folders named apk, framework, lib (i dont remember any more)
On realizing that these folders existed in /system of my device, I copied everything, and pasted it into /system , overwriting everything.
Unsuspectingly, I rebooted, and was horrified to see a box which said "Android is upgrading..." and started optimizing 44 applications one by one. After that , it said"Starting applications" and a progress wheel startled rotating. But it stuck like that for hours - until i pulled out the battery, and put it back in again. this time, the boot animation (the waves with the xperia colors) keep on going forever - till the end of time.
its been like that ever since.
but there's a catch. i don't have CWM recovery , nor did i make ANY backups.(yeah, u can call me the dumbest person on earth right now)
So, thats it.
Any ideas, people???

I have the AT&T One X... Ive rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, blah blah blah. Im sort of new at this, so when something happens, Im a little clueless. The point of learning, I suppose. Anyway, today I did a factory reset and restored to my earliest backup. The phone booted originally but then said process.android something or other has stopped working. Phone turned off. Now, when I try to turn it back on, it wont go past the boot animation. Its not connecting to my computer to reboot it with a command, either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and ASAP.

From the ROM. Thats when it told me process.android stopped, then went to the htc one x loading screen.
Frankly, my dear, you ****ed up.
Whenever you want to Wipe ANYTHING you have to do it from your recovery (TWRP).
Boot into TWRP by holding the down volume and power, for what seems like a lifetime and try to restore from there?

Now, however, I cant seem to find any ROMs installed on my phone. I know Ive done this somehow before, but how do I get a rom on the phone when the SD card wont mount to my computer?
And when I try to do a factory reset in TWRP it tells me in the dialog: E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Im beginning if this phone and I just werent meant to be. haha
Twrp did the mount thing to me as well. Still plugged USB and PC found the SD anyway. Copied ROM to SD, flash and bingo. Other option is to download the stock RUU.
PS I wouldn't publicly admit u work for at&t. J/k

My computer still doesnt show any connection to the phone. I tried downloading the RUU and when I ran it on PC, it said it couldnt connect to my phone.
When doing RUU, make sure you relock your bootloader. Instructions here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-re-lock-htc-one-x-bootloader/
make sure you have HTC Sync and drivers installed if you are flashing RUU.
Also when u get into your bootloader, highlight bootloader and select it. After, right above that, in red it will read fastboot usb. Until then your pc wont recognize it.
It worked! You guys are all awesome!

So, I'm not sure if I'm on a right place, but I hope you guys can help me.
I use Xperia J for almost a year now, it has its flaws (a lot of them) and recently it started reseting itself. It just restarts on its own. It goes black sony screen, then black xperia screen, and starts normally, just doesn't ask for PIN like it usually does when I start up my phone. Today, same thing happened, but it stuck on xperia screen. It's not actually "frozen", just that xperia animation is repeating itself. I couldn't do anything, I waited for half an hour. No change. I took the battery out and tried restarting it. Again it's stuck on black xperia screen. I dont know what seems to be issue with it and I really hope you can help me.
ps. sorry for my broken english.

Your welcome my friend.
Hi all,
I've been trying to root my phone recently (I thought I knew what I was doing but clearly not ) but I seem to have stupidly flashed TWRP over the boot partition so now I can only ever get into recovery.
I've found you can flash the entire phone using this guide.
My problem now is when I connect my phone to the computer in fastboot it won't stay in that mode. The blue LED comes on as it should but after 30 seconds or so the phone decides to go to recovery instead so I can't get flashtool to proceed with the entire system flash.
Does anyone have any ideas why my phone would be doing this and how to fix the issue?
Thanks
Tim
You only plug the phone on when flashtool tells you to. If you plug it in before it prepares for flashing it'll drop out and reboot after a while
