I was trying to flash this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...-lollipopxperiacb-2-16-stable-tested-t3011897
And I got to flashing the recovery and I flashed it using Mobileuncle as suggested.
I restarted and went into recovery, wiped dalvik cache and data and restarted by mistake.
The Sony logo appeared and stayed there.
I can still go into recovery but it doesn't flash anything and it keeps saying "error bad file"
I downloaded the stock ROM in .ftf format and tried flashing it using flashtool but it gets stuck at 0% saying "flashing loader" forever and I think that's because the boot loader is locked
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thanks

After months of flashing everything in sight on my NS4g, the device appears to have rolled over and died! It started a few days ago, when it rebooted and asked me for a password to decrypt from storage (no password has ever been set). I couldn't get past that screen, so I decided to boot into recovery (TWRP), reinstall ROM (CM10) and gapps and restore data from backup.
No go. It just kept rebooting into recovery. But I was able to connect the phone to the PC and copy files from the phone but could not copy or delete files on the phone from the PC.
I used fastboot, Odin, and one-click-stock to wipe the device and install factory images, but the phone would boot no further than the red triangle-dead android.
Is my phone dead? I searched the forums and couldn't find any solutions other than to do what I have already done.

When you flashed to stock you erased your recovery.. Reconnect to your computer and push a recovery onto your phone and you're good to go..
Unfortunately, when I flashed TWRP and boot.img to the phone using fastboot and attempted to boot into recovery, bootloader reports "No Boot or Recovery Img."

Try the Nexus tool kit and from the bootloader (power and vol. up) select flash to stock (bricked) then in advanced boot temporary recovery to flash the recovery of your choice.. or push a boot image.

Wish I had better news but ... using the Nexus tool kit I was able to boot into TWRP but when trying to flash CM10 and gapps for this phone the flash failed; likewise, I could not flash CM10 and gapps by pushing the files from the PC to the phone. I first did flash to stock (bricked) but that brought me back to the red triangle, dead android.
I am beginning to suspect that the phone internal sdcard is corrupted ... is there a way to test for that?

When you got it to flash to stock did it boot up fully?
Remember that flashing to stock removes custom recoveries and you will need to flash one

No, the phone never did boot up fully. It got to the Google screen with the unlock icon and then to the red triangle, dead Android.

This happened when you tried stock or custom?..
Did it fully boot on stock image?..
The dead android usually shows up when you attempt to boot into recovery and you don't have one... If you try to boot and you loop back to the dead android it usually means you don't have a rom...
Try again to flash to stock, use the toolkit to boot a temporary recovery and flash a custom recovery.. Then make sure you are flashing the correct rom and correct gapps for that rom and for your phone.

I know have a recovery because the tool kit booted into TWRP; furthermore, the tool kit installed a TWRP 2.3 image (prior to installing the tool kit I was on 2.5 so the tool kit did something). From there, I tried to flash CM10 and gapps in the sdcard/download folder, but that failed, with TWRP returning message similar to "error opening ZIP".
I have used Odin to flash the stock image and it did not fully boot, ending at the dead android. Same results for flashing the stock image using fastboot with the phone connected to the PC. Same results with using the Nexus tool kit to flash a stock image (first JB and then, when that didn't boot, ICS). And, after the toolkit booted into temporary recovery (TWRP), I tried to flash (in this order) CM10 plus gapps, JB stock, and ICS, each time with the same results (no full boot, dead android).
I am with you when you say that the dead android means there is no rom, because my efforts to flash any rom, whether stock or custom, don't do anything. To all appearance, the phone contains a bootloader and a recovery and nothing else.
Thanks for your persistence ... any ideas for something else to try?

I'm at a loss.. Try again, maybe there's something missing.. And flash only one at a time and see if it worked (just ROM then reboot) then wipe d+c and flash gapps reboot then wipe flash... Ect... Ect...

I am too. Every method known to me (Odin, fastboot, adb) to flash a ROM, whether custom or stock, has failed to boot. Thanks for hanging with me on this; if you can think of solution I'll be glad to have it. Or if I solve it, I'll post here.
I reset me device to factory settings and now it is just not booting in recovery mode. Everytime I try it shows the stock recovery mode loading screen, restarts and boom! Reset to factory again.
Any solutions?

so you can't boot into recovery ?
then you can only reflash whole ftf using flashtool
i tried installing kernal but it says device not found in cmd all fastboot drivers installed!!
i direcrly want 4.4 without reverting
You can try to flash stock ftf. You can flash cm11 after flashing stock.
By the way, if you wanna flash varun's cm11, you can't use another kernel. You've to use varun's kernel that exist in the cm11 zip

Bro ...try to understand you can't get 4.4 without flashing ftf.As you have soft brick.First flash ftf then flash cm11.
Good luck.

You need to flash Stock ftf to get the modules working perfectly.
I keep getting crashes when trying to flash zips in TWRP. the phone reboots as soon as i start to flash any rom or even the magisk zip. Using the boost version of the J7 perx. latest twrp 3.2.1 any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK it's time for you to flash stock firmware threw Odin 3.12.5 an start over !
when you install twrp you have to factory reset first then flash twrp in download mod an boot right into recovery an flash superSU zip or magisk !

Okay thanks for the reply!
I realized i was using an old version of odin.. maybe thats why it wasnt completely flashing the firmware before.. it would get to almost a full bar and fail. then i would have to flash BL or twrp to get it to boot again.. got the latest odin and it flashed fully this time.
still waiting on my phone to boot up though idk if its stuck on bootloop or not..
Edit *looks like im stuck in bootloop now* ill try formatting and flashing again
Edit #2: I booted into default recovery and wiped data & cache and the phone booted up just fine we'll see how this goes *fingers crossed* lol

Tried it still not working.. i even factory reset before flashing twrp. it still reboots immediately when trying to flash anything
Step 2
I presume you're flashing from an SD card. Please backup its data and format it.
Then re-download one of the zips and test flash in TWRP.

Ok do the firmware thing then factory reset in the stock recovery ! Then flash twrp in Odin with auto reboot unchecked in options ! Then pull an replace battery ! Then boot right into twrp an flash superSU SR5 2.8.2 zip an reboot ! Or you can boot twrp an Rom instead !
Glad to be of help. Peter's tricks should solve your final hurdles.

Hello, some days ago i found a Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (SM-G310HN/heatnfc3g) and i decided to mod it, i installed TWRP via Odin and all was ok, but when i tried to install CyanogenMod 12.1 it didn't work. Since it didn't work, i decided to flash stock ROM. It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore. I suspect it's the PIT file, because when i reflashed stock ROM another time with a PIT file now it doesn't work anymore, let me try to explain:
When i try to flash anything (Stock ROM or recovery, custom or stock), it... doesn't, Odin says it flashed but when i reboot to recovery or reboot to stock, it stays at the Samsung logo or doesn't flash the recovery, even if it says that it flashed. What should i do? Is my phone bricked? How can i unbrick it if it's bricked?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache partition option? It is sometimes necessary after flashing via Odin, I've had to do it a few times to solve a bootloop.

Well the problem is... i cant reboot into stock recovery. Its stuck in twrp, and it's not really a "bootloop", it stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on Twrp but nothing.
I cant even flash the stock recovery since as i said in the original post, if i try to flash EVERYTHING Odin says it flashed but on the phone nothing happened.
