[Q] Xperia L recovery problems. - Sony Xperia L

I am currently new to xperia l. I unlocked the bootloader and installed cwm, twrp and philz recovery but none of them seems to be able to flash ANY files. I've checked all the zips. I can't install cm11 directly, i have to extract the boot.img, flash it and then only flash cm11 ROM. All of the recoveries gives me e: can't install xxxxx.zip (bad) and other errors even with the cm11 zip now i have flashed and is working. What should i know? What am i doing wrong? Please help.

Ok, I figured the problem but I have a new problem. When I try to send any files, movies, music, roms, etc to my phone, the files are all broken. When i put cm11, i got errors saying device not responding. I have to restart my phone to send new files and i cannot send large files.

Could this be a hardware problem?

I dont think so, your sistem files may be damaged but first flash stock firmware then we will see what happened

i did reflash stock rom 2 times but i still get the error. what could possibly cause this problem, drivers, usb port or usb cable? I was using xperia m before but had no problems.

Thank you, i now switched to MSC and testing. I think it works but i also think the files i copy get broken on the way to the phone.

try to re-install driver in your pc. and for me, i always full-wipe my device first before i flash to custom rom.. maybe you should try it too..
by the way, why dont you try to download again these rom? just to make sure.

Flashed Cache, Dalvik Cache..
Tried to flash the rom many times but cudn't..
n There's no response from Seniors...
I've not gone back to stock so have no advice, what I did find some months ago was that the Rom I was trying to flash was corrupt.
You sure the download is OK?

Download a PROPER CM10, remove-insert battery, flash kernel again.
Which phone? Which CM10? What exactly did you do? Is your bootloader unlocked? (Last one's just a joke )
As MatsPunt said, try flashing a stock FTF, then try flashing CM10 again.

XT1039 bootloop after flashing CM13

Hi,
XT1039: bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4
TO: nightly
Flashed 4118 bootloader, as detailed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...tions-t2996087
It was successful.
Followed https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_peregrine
unlocked bootloader
installed cm-recovery from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
tried to flash cm, got a bootloader error,
followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59520890&postcount=233
Now using bootloader 411A
flashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=peregrine
now the phone is stuck at the boot screen.
So I flashed twrp recovery, successful and reflashed cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip
I tried several different guides that included all sorts of cache deletion and format orders but the result is still the same
(I am not using an sdcard but only the internal storage.)
After rebooting, the phone is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot icon (blinking cat face) since past half hour.
Please guide how to debug/recover.
fastboot and recovery are working
Thanks,
[edit:]
The cm-13.0-20160121-NIGHTLY-peregrine.zip was transferred by mounting the internal storage on the PC and copying it manually. Just in case this matters

Thanks for the reply, but the goal is to get cyanogenmod on my phone. How does the stock rom help me with that??
Just for testing, I have installed the stock rom to see if it works and it does. I now have a Motorola Android 5.1 on my phone. But thats not what I wanted.
Anyone having any idea how to make cyanogenmod work?

Just to restoring a kernel on it...after restoring one, go to TWRP, make your wipes and flash again your CM

WOW Thank you very much, its working
Maybe you can also explain to my why installing the custom rom mattered, since I wiped everything before installing cm again, I would assume there is nothing of the stock rom left on the device.

Not really able to explain...sometimes sh*t happens...
But this procedure works almost every time.
Surely due to your bootloader error after your first flash with CM recovery...something was broken...
Most important, now, it's working...Enjoy
I install cm but google play is not working and sallular data also not working.. Plz any one help me please..

cyanogenmod does it too just not as mutch it happens only like one or twice since I changed the file system. Sometimes not even once or twice. I Switch roms alot though. If you want to try this just hit me up and I will give you instructions on how to do it. You have to have a rom ready to flash and go when you do it.

Why there is no INSTALL ZIP in CM Recovery only INSTALL UPDATE?
Is it the same?
Regards
RJ
PS.
I try both CM and TWRP Recovery, and phone stuck on CM logo.
Try re-downloading rom from cm site and put on sd card then go to recovery and do a full wipe by clicking advanced then check mark all boxes except the sd card box. Then flash rom. Your install scripts are in meta inf folder. dont tinker with it.

I have done all those instructions before, but it always stuck at the CM logo.
I have even tried format /data/ partition on f2fs (I have found such solution on this forum) but no results.
Maybe I should try older CM ROM?

That the newest version lollipop should work on it. Try changing system to ext4 but swipe factory reset first then click data then change to ext4 then swipe factory reset again then flash rom. Try a a different lollipop ROM. I'm currently using DU. But they all work if you can't flash anything I have been working on stock version of the last 4.4.2 and finally got it to flash via twrp 2.8.6.0. It has root and xposed and app ops adblocker and just got init.d to work just need to do a quick rebuild so init.d sticks via kernel auditor. You can flash it just to get your device going if all else fails.

Mine doesn't reboot and has been optimized. Also try a different ROM to flash but like DU or Mokee there's plenty of other ones. But try changing system to ext4 first. Then flash. I gave you directions on that in post few minutes ago. Try it and see if it works.
Returning to the main topic of this tread.
I have noticed that when I have MOBILE DATA turn off
the restarts do not occur.

Is it possible to flash CM 11 via twrp 2.8.6.0?

I have found the solution of this issue.
The problem is with the FAST DORMANCY service.
When it is active but provider does not support it
it causes problem.
It should be disabled in the file /system/build.prop

Help!My OPO cannot flash ROM with recovery.

The Screenshot is below. I got stuck in the H2OS 2.0 so I flash the cos12 to save it from bricking. Then I flash the TWRP. When I wanted to flash a CM13,the problem in the screenshot occurred. Need some Help here.
Help,PLZ
I don't have another phone.I gotta fix this as soon as possible in case I don't miss any important phone calls. plz. Somebody gives me a hand.
The problem is that you're not installing the TWRP flashable rom.
See that the zip file of the CM13 build you tried to install is called cm13......bacon-signed-fastboot......zip. So you're trying to install a fastboot rom with a custom recovery, instead of trying to install a custom rom for a custom recovery. That's why TWRP doesn't found any meta-inf folder.
When downloading the rom in the official web be sure to download the one compatible with custom recoveries.

Okay,Thanks. But when I tried another ROM (NucleaRom-V2.1.4-BETA[7.0]-bacon-20161011-0245.zip) ,I failed again. It occurred error 7. The TWRP is universal in many ROMs,right?I used to installed many with it successfully.However, I failed again and again this time.

The 7 error use to happen when you get a bad download and there is missing data. You can compare the md5 of the rom to check if there are missing data or simply download it again, or try another rom.
Also i suggest you to use the latest TugaPower TWRP.

Well, honestly i don't know.
I would suggest you to check if the files you have downloaded are not corrupted in case the computer where you're downloading the roms is corrupt them, i experienced that case. So you can check md5 following this guide: http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/113984-what-md5-how-use-verify-your-download.html
And the TWRP i suggested you is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-x-tugapower-t3398366. You can install it though fastboot or try with the current recovery you have.
