I tried my hands in android system first i start with rooting with kingroot pc app where i just need to plug my usb and click on start root in pc app, that's how i rooted my Sony Xperia S
then i unlock bootloader by sony official website Unlock your boot loader
After unlocking bootloader i tried to install latest sony walkman album and camera app which is modified for for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with normal apk install but all failed
i saw somewhere that i need to install these app in recovery mode so i installed CWN app from playstore and it wasn't working well in my phone so i was just playing around and i clicked on reboot option
after sony logo phone stuck on boop animation for hours its same nothing change then i google lil how to come out of it then use fastboot command to install CWN first then TWRP recovery tool (fastboot flash boot recovery.img) it successfully installed since then whenever i turned my phone on i come to TWRP
In TWRP i tried factory reset,clear cache and also tried to do adb sideload but it failed but i didnt clear my internal memory and android OS
when i connect my phone with usb in windows XP while starting adb sideload it prompt me for driver but even after download driver from XDA and official Sony website both does not work with it and its end up with driver cannot installed. i can't even put any file in my phone so whatever i have to do is with pc only
In doing all this for 2 3 days my phone was on fastboot (blue light) then suddenly notification light turned into red light then i thought it can be stand by mode i tired to press power button ,vol button, combination buttons and also tired to charge with usb but no luck then i took out battery and charge it separately then put it back now its working as before (recovery mode )
So i stuck in TWRP recovery everytime i boot and i only have 2 option (that what i think )
do something with fastboot cuz adb is not detecting devices at all and TWRP
so guys please help me to boot into my android OS I dont want to install any other os i want to run my old os and please tell me for next time how to run os and recovery mode as i want without stuck anywhere
Still no answer
Please super experts i need your help please help me guys

Hey All,
My Dad's Xoom died over the weekend - 13months after purchase so is not covered by the warranty. He was browsing a site, it came up with a "Internet is not responding - do you want to continue to wait" message and he clicked Wait - after a second the tablet knocked off. It will not come on by pressing Power and only turns on by pressing Power and Vol +
It gets past the Motorolo logo screen and the device starts the boot animation, about 20 seconds into this it freezes and reboots - this continues in a loop. It's been GEDified and was running the last OTA update 4.1.2 - no root etc.
I can get into the stock recovery and performed a factory reset - but the same thing happens. I've also tried Update From USB with an OTG cable but the screen just shows Choose a package to install and under it has /sdcard but nothing else. I have a dummy zip on both the Flash disk and SD card so it's not reading either.
I've also tried to perform update via ADB - when I select it and connect to a PC (Win 7 32bit) it tries to install drivers but I see In Computer Management that it shows under Unknown. ADB Devices returns List of devices message but nothing under it.
I've also selected the fastboot command at boot, tried fastboot devices and the command does see the Xoom.
So my questions
1) Anyone seen anything like this issue before and know how to fix it?
2) Is it best to try to reinstall the ROM? If so, how do you suggest I can see it with ADB?
3) As I have Fastboot command, could I try to install CWM and see if that sees a ZIP on the sdcard - so I can install a new ROM.
Any help much appreciated :good:
so...I've just done a fastboot oem unlock
and then tried to flash the CWM recovery using the fastboot commands - no errors, press reboot and go into Recovery but still getting Android system recovery 3e :crying:

So just to add to this, I found the stock recovery.img, boot.img, userdata.img and system.img and used the fastboot commands to send all to the motorola - all succeeded without error....still the same problem though.
I installed RSD lite and tried a few SBF files but I'm getting an INI error - off to google possible solutions to that now
after lots of reading i decided to try out cyanogenmod 12!
after full backup (even ta-partition) i downgraded my z3 to .93 and then root it succsesfully with giefroot!
everything went fine until i tryd to install the boot.img over fastboot....
i dont know exactly what went wrong but now the normal boot hangs on the sony sign and if i want to boot into flashmode (vol+ & power on button) it just throws me into fastboot mode! so i kinda stuck here and dont know what to do
how can i get out of fastboot mode? what did i wrong?
please help!
a fastboot devices gives me a device back
an adb not
i hope there is some recovery option from fastboot
It sounds like you didn't unlock your bootloader? If so either try to unlock it with flashtool (just search for a tutorial on XDA) or reflash an official fw with flash tool to recover your device.
You should be able to enter flash mode by just pressing volume down (powered off device) while plugging in the USB port.

Not only does it sound like you have not unlocked the bootloader, but you probably have not backed up your TA, as you said you did that before you downgraded and rooted, however, you have to backup the TA partition AFTER rooting and BEFORE unlocking
I want unlock bootloader on S.trend plus- s7580 i have adb and fastboot. Adb detecting my phone and this commend works "adb reboot bootloader" phone restarting only problem is that not boot in fastboot mode. And fastboot can't detect phone (waiting for device).
With odin 3.10.7 I installed TWRP(maybe older version file type tar text mode no buttons),with TWRP i tried install supersu 1.34 it's installing but after restart still dont have root.
There is one more problem i cant use buttons on phone to set download mode or fastboot mode, bottons just doesn't work i tried many times and nothing phone starting normal. So to use download mode i use "tool samsung 300k tool"or to boot in with TWRP i need use commend "adb reboot recovery". I don't know how push this phone to boot in fastboot mode to unlock bootloader(vol up/down +power +home doesn't work).
I would like enable root to have posibility to overclock cpu etc. And i would like to install newer android 5.1 or 6.
So can you help me and tell me what to do step by step. The phone is branded maybe this is problem ?
1 more queston if i would like delete TWRP and back to stock what need to do ? Install orginal rom ?
Samsung phones use Odin instead of fastboot, fastboot are not exist on Samsung phones
Guys,
I need help. I'm struggling for the last 3 days trying to revive my phone with no sucess. :crying::crying::crying:
I managed to put a custom rom sucessfully, but i had to make a restore on recovery mode.
During the restore process some error ocurred, something like "something not mounted", i did'nt have the ROM to flash anymore. For no reason i decied do reboot the phone.
Now i can't enter recovery anymore and the phone is froze on the "Sony Xperia" on the begginig.
Since start i'm having difficulty with the Z3 driver for Windows 10. To enter recovery mode i tryed to adb reboot recover but my adb doesn't work.
It's strange..
if i type fastboot devices it's show.
if i type adb devices it's show's "no emulators/xxx found".
I need help, don't know what to do anymore.
TLDR:
- Frozen at "Sony Xperia"
- Recovery don't enter pressing Volume Down/UP
- adb devices doesnt' work.
- fastboot devices work
Thank you!

You have some choices to restor stock rom:
1) Try Xperia compagnon fron Sony ==> Software repair (not shure about the label in english version)
2) Use flashtool (google for it) and a rom (*.ftf) of your choice.
When you are back to stock, then you can install a custom rom again

Hey,
Sounds like a corrupted system, not too sure what happened with the recovery though.
Try this out:
1. You need the phone driver and the fastboot & ADB driver. You can get the Sony phone drivers from the Xperia PC Companion. You can get fastboot & adb drivers almost anywhere, just google for them or scroll a bit through xda.
2. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't done so already here.
3. boot into fastboot mode by completely powering off the phone then holding "power+volume up" and waiting until a blue LED appears in the top left.
4. Find a custom recovery, rename it to recovery.img, navigate to the folder that contains it in CMD (i.e. cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Android) and type "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5.You should now be able to boot into recovery again. All that's left is find a ROM of your liking, push it to the phone in ADB and install it.
Hope this helps!

Frankly, I failed to use Newflasher 6x, my cellphone XZ PREMIUM G8141 TELSTRA AUSTRALIA 47.2.A.10.107
Initially I just wanted to install TWRP and Rooting but I failed because I after UBL continued to install TWRP then I installed Super Su, fatal until BOOTLOOP and No OS Instaled listed on TWRP, I flash using the latest FLASTOOL, it can't, even NewFlaser can't even though my cellphone can't I detected it on Flashtool as a DEVICE CONNECT IN FLASH MODE But it always can't be flashed every time, Newflasher is the same as well, about what the problem is that is going on please, my laptop Windows 10 pro thanks, Finally, I was confused and thought about how my cell phone could come back to life without Bootloop, 3 days I learned it can only flash manually via adb fastboot using ANDROID 8.1 AOSP, I installed the manual one by one from 5 main files:
flash fast boot system
flash fast boot data
flash fast boot recovery
Flash boot fast
flash fast boot kernel from Sony Developer 8.1 AOSP
Finally it is on but it can't do anything because I can't install GAPPS just like an ordinary cellphone that feels old, and I root it with MAGISK its ok.
How can I get back to Os 9.0 47.2.A.10.107 ??? With flashtool and Newflasher still failing, is there a solution ??? Please
Thanks
I would use Emma .https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
Sorry brother i dont know why in Emma my phone is not detected, but in Newflasher, flashtool, Pc companion it was detected
Phone power off and unplugged. Hold down volume while plugging into computer and Emma should see it. Make sure you have correct drivers.
newflasher should work... make sure you downloaded firmware correctly, and then download latest newflasher and put it inside the folder of firmware. Then run newflasher, first time choose y to install drivers, then after installing, run it again and flash.
Same Problem
