Flashing stock ROM problem

Hello, I have one problem. I want to revert back to stock ROM. But everytime I turn on my phone, it stucks on HTC logo (not the quietly briliant... ). Thanks for help
Btw. I have not burnt nand and when I try to install another ROM it works :/

Still not working... :/
But there is one weird thing in bootloader. When I boot to bootloader it shows: SD Checking...No image! (and some letters .img). This shows about 7 times and then it shows selection screen (fastboot/recovery/factory reset/simlock)
Second weird thing is that I have radio 1.10.80.14M3 (I'm from WestEurope), but in RUU isn't the same radio :/
(These things were there before I installed new recovery/stock ROM)

Now, I tried to install the stock rom by immortal yash and it works! So thank you for wasting a time with me

No problem

[TUTORIAL] [Noob-Friendly] How to Flash CM12 from Stock ROM

This is my first tutorial so please tell me if I missed anything​ This thread will teach some noobs here who are on stock 4.1.2/4.2.2 and want to flash latest roms like cm12/cm11/Euphoria Os and etc. This tutorial is self-tested by me!
______________________________________________________________________________
1) Firstly, you should unlock the bootloader. To do this go to this thread> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/tutorial-bootloader-unlocking-relocking-t2332900 (after flashing you may get a bootloop so flash stock ftf to recover > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955 http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
2)You should install a recovery > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320 for this you need root > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/rootkit-xperia-l-15-3-1-17-1-click-root-t2591290 Backup your stock rom(optional) and TA(if the phone gets damaged during warranty) and copy rom zip file to sd card http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/4-4-3-aospa-legacy-4-4-beta1-t2571273
3) In recovery Wipe cache/dalvic/art cache> Factory data reset> clean to install a new rom
4) Flash the rom and Gapps for specific rom(may not be included so google (the version of android gapps) and flash it after rom. Edit: Flashing kk is not necessary.
5) Reboot and wait for some time... Instalation takes some time... :good:
___________________________________________________________________________
6)(BONUS) If you want a good recovery like philz/twrp > http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/beta-fota-cwm-one-klick-t3068084 just install an app and click install philz. The app that installs a recovery is unique. It won't be overriden by another rom's recovery and u won't have to flash tz boot.img again and again... Thumbs up if you liked my tutorial :good: I do appreciate it! And of course, if you need any help just comment here or add me on facebook.
I'm here to help you guys!​
Edit: There are so many good roms for our XL on xda( I don't compare hard work of devs). Here are some ones that I tried and suggest checking out:

Install the app and click philz if your bootloader is unlocked. BTW it's written in that thread that can only be installed on cm12/cm11 etc. But not on stock. If you want a recovery on stock rom try the step 2)

you should wipe cache and dalvik after flashing
and one question why is KK recommended first?

No need to wipe cache/dalvic

cm11 isnt nessasary...
cm11 overrides system and userdata partition...
cm12 does the same... so there isnt any differenz in flashing cm12 from stock or from cm11....
only thing usefull is to flash latest stock before flashing cm12 ... because other than custom roms ...stock rom will override nearly all partitions.... that means better modem...baseband ...etc... so you should come from last stock

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.

I rooted the phone using the install.bat toolkit. unlocked the bootloader using flashtool and imei on sony. flashed stock rom. then installed recovery and flashed a custom rom.
The wifi stopped working. cant even turn it on. (the date keeps reseting to 1970 on every flash btw)
Tried miui rom, cm12, stryfex roms. same issue..
I tried:
Installing a different version of flashtool
Changing wlan.ko(can't find a prima folder)
Installing a different kernel
Flashtool says error flash aborted on flashing stock ftf
(Closing TA partition

Need Help,Mobile Restarting for every 5 minutes

Hi All,
I am new to this xda, firstly i am really very sorry for typing this much question.My problem is,
I am using mi4i(MIUI7). previously I tried to flash custom rom(CM13) to my device,for that i have installed TWRP and alse rooted my device using Mi4i-ToolKit.
Firstly I have taken backup of my current rom (i.e MIUI7), after that selcted CM13 zip and tried to flash that rom,but it is failed to install.
Out to my curiosity, I have searched in xda forms and i got a key that firstly my device has to be downgraded to miui6.6.10 or below version.
then I downgraded my device with 6.5...(miui6 ver) it was downgraded successfully.Then, I tried to flash CM13. But it again failed to
install.and again I restored my entire backup to MIUI7. Now, The problem is my device has been restarting for ever 5 mins since last night.
please provide any inputs to get my back my device to perfect condition.

First of all, flash MIUI 6.6.10 via fastboot and see if the device works. Then after that try to flash CM13 following the instructions provided by the author of the ROM.

What could be a problem?

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?

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?
Regards

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

Most probable you did not Format data after you flashed the stock ROM. Download the fastboot of the stock ROM you wanna use, unzip it and flash it with MiFlash tool.

Nope...format data is needed (this one when you have to type ”yes”)

Even though I get this message error the phone booted the rom, weird...
So can I try flashing other roms like lineageos using this tool or do I need twrp? Could the wifi error on the other roms be from not properly formatting the folders?

Yeah, you got that error because you did not lock your bootloader, but ROM will work just fine. You can use MiFlash for stock ROMs only.
The Wi-Fi problems are usually related by flashing the custom ROM from the wrong stock firmware and vendor version. Just read the first page (OP) of the ROM you wanna flash and see what version of the stock ROM is needed (most of them ask for 12.0.3.0 version, but some ask for 12.0.2.0 or 12.0.4.0).

If you already unlock. Then flash with fastboot, phone will lock again. And you can instant unlock again because your Mi Account have permission to unlock your device.
