Hi guys, I have had Xperia C from about 2 days. I wanted to root it to change the system fonts and I did root it successfully. But when i replaced the system fonts using ROM TOOLBOX, the phone was stuck at the boot animation.
I do a hard reset by entering recovery mode, but nothing was changed, the phone is still stuck at the boot animation.
Can someone help me please??
Have you tried flashing the phone?
Did you take a backup of your ROM at any point?

You could try putting the phone into download mode, and then use a flash tool (developer.sonymobile com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/) to flash the phone back to stock.
This is a stock ROM: 4shared com/rar/wdOnCZw4/xperia_c_c2305_sony html
It may not be the stock ROM for your phone, you'll need to make sure it's 2305..

You could call it flash mode I guess, yeah.
But before trying a full flash, try going into recovery mode and selecting Wipe data/factory reset.
This will fix problems 99% of the time.
Also, I found a video that might aid you. I haven't watched it, but by the title it seems like it could help you.

i had a soft brick too, i couldn't boot in to the recovery. i solved the problem by following a guide that get the phone back to stock
i tried to install a custom rom but my phone doesnot boot neither it starts in download mode. please suggest what should i do
You could try to flash the stock rom for your phone again. Search Google if there is a stock rom ftf file and flash it with Flashtool
Another possibility is check if you have installed the correct kernel for your custom rom and install both again.

Could you give details about your installation process? A jig could fix your problem or in other words it could boot your phone in download mode.
If your recovery is available flash a custom ROM with it.

i installed the rom under normal conditions. for your info i have done this plenty of times but this time i m clueless. i have ordered for a jig but is there any other way to get my phone back?? please suggest.
Have you tried to flash it with 'Flashtool'?
Have you installed the correct Kernel for your custom rom?
Another solution might be to look in the internet for 'wotan server' - here you could try to restore your phone but it will cost a little.
u could also try odin to flash your original formware
Other than the jig is there any way to start the mobile in download mode??
You could try going into flash mode then flash a new kernal or by going into fastboot mode to flash a new custom ROM in Flashtool.
But I think this only works with Xperia Phones.

sorry, didn't have that in mind but you didn't tell us yet what phone you have and if you have used 'Flashtool' or 'Odin Flash tool' which is for Samsung phones, so it is very difficult for us to help you

i have samsung galaxy ace. please tell me how to use any of the tools because my phone is not starting in download mode.
I have flashed multiple roms on the phone, still the same error, could you please suggest further steps?
The phone had been sent to get the simlock removed, once I got back I performed a wipe to remove all personal data. since that time it's not booting at all.
I can turn into download mode and flash anything, but cannot enter to recovery, I got the notification "ramdump mode (arm9 mode)"
Thx in advance for any help.

Stock ROM cannot be flashed with recovery, u need flashtool and more important ur device should boot into download mode. So try ur hands on custom ROM.

I tried to go into download mode but the phone just stays at the bootloader, so far I can only get into recovery mode.
What do I need to have to resolve the issue from recovery mode?
I have a friend with the exact model that I can get the files i need to fix mine.

Can I install custom ROM from stock recovery mode?
First of all you shouldnt have made a factory reset.
Did you have a rootedsystem.img or system.img in the root of your internal sd card?
If you did all you had to do is dd flash that image and your phone would have returned to life. If you read the instructions to rooting you shouldve made a backup first!
If you flash ZV5 TOT you will hard brick your phone.

Well I thought u had custom recovery, never mind, u just need to enter in bootloader and flash the stock ROM. This might save u from soft brick.

I thought the factory reset would have fixed the problem. I bought the phone already rooted, so no I dont have neither of the .img files. I have a friend with a similar phone, can i get the files i need from that phone?

I am seeing the part where you said not to flash with zv5, so what are my options at this point? can I use a rootedsystemLS996_ZV6 file i had downloaded? Or Should i check on my friends phone to see if he has the rootedsystem.img or the system.img?

Hey I need help my phone keeps rebooting seconds after It goes to homesrceen
This happened after I format it using trwp. The reason I have format the phone is bcz all the apps were crashing, I can't use any apps, the Bluetooth won't work, flashlight won't work and my camera won't either. So I just went to format it via twrp. Now the phone keeps rebooting. The only time it does not reboot is when I am on the set up screen. I am using a Samsung j7
Um what format did you do?
What ROM are you using?

Use ODIN and flash the stock ROM.
Reinstall recovery because ODIN probably would rewrite the recovery to stock.

Honestly didn't want to hear about flashing it over but I will try it sometime this week. Hopefully I can get a PC to do it cause mine is not working. If you know an alternative please let me know. Thank you. Also I am seeing checking device status on the notification bar when the phone boots
Well you can flash with twrp but you’ll still need a PC to download the rom to the phone and sometimes twrp cant flash stock ROMs. blame Samsung xd
