[QUESTION] Problems flashing a rom - Sony Xperia L

I had a Xperia L, its pretty old now but i wanted to do something with it like trying out Android Nougat feel on Xperia L
So i googled much (I don't have much knowledge in phones and flashing), I tried installing this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-alpha-1-t3469162
Lineage OS on Xperia L(taoshan) by corphish
I read few of the blog posts about flashing a custom rom on Xperia L, and I got to know that the steps to install a custom rom are:
1. Root your phone
2. Unlock Bootloader
3. Install TWRP/CWM or some custom recovery
4. Flash the rom from SD Card or Internal Storage(Clear Cache, DALVIK CACHE obv)
I did root my phone with KingRoot APK
Did unlock bootloader with the official SONY Technique, but the thing happened was my phone went into a bootloop (boot animation didn't stop) although i fixed it by flashing the official stock ftf and when i turned my device on my Root and Bootloader was gone again
Could someone recommend me a solution to this issue
(Might be a way to directly flash the lineage rom from the PC/or some flasher app which takes all the load to flash a rom/
Or just a possible fix)
Thanks ! (In Advance)

Hi Haji joon
Maybe you should try unlocking your bootloader with flashtool v0.9.18.4 , Then turn off your phone.
Then extract the "boot.img" file from the custom ROM's zip file and use adb&fastboot (you can get it from here: https://androiddatahost.com/bnjkh ) then copy boot.img file to the installation folder of adb&fastboot and connect your phone in fastboot mode (volume up + connect to pc) and type the command below, in fastboot app:
" fastboot flash boot boot.img "
Now you can turn on your phone and press volume up to enter recovery, and install any custom ROM you want

Thanks but have you tried this method ? (also the boot.img you were referring to do you mean the boot.img of the recovery?)

Yes!

In order to flash Nougat ROM, you must have latest TWRP recovery (v 3.0.2 for xperia L)
So, you should either flash TWRP image or the boot.img of any Nougat rom( because they have latest TWRP in them) and flashing boot.img is somehow safer in xperia L (but no difference in them)
And about boot.img, it is in the ROM file that you've downloaded. For example, in Lineage rom's zip installation file, there's a file named boot.img . You should extract and use it in the process I've said before.
And if anywhere you encounter with a problem, simply you can flash stock ROM and start again
And sorry for my long post!

Actually, I'm not sure about Lineage 14.1, because I've only tested it on RR Rom. But you can simply test it with no worries! Or just use the first method that I've told you before.
And about kernel, unfortunately there is no usable kernel developed for XL Nougat ROMs till now :crying: . You should use the ROM's default one.

Here you are:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120743168
Use this one. It's latest stable version of RR 7.1.2 ROM (2017/06/20). It has no bugs (but install some other file managers, default one can't access sdcard0)
There was a problem in last one (2017/07/06) but developer is working on it and maybe release an update soon ( I hope).

So I'll try it out today with the boot.img of the RR rom
Also for the ROM updates do i need it flash it again or is there some OTA updating feature ?

Ok, I again did unlock the bootloader and its in bootloop state again, will i start the flash mode (volume down + usb cable insert) and then load the boot.img of RR with
" fastboot flash boot boot.img " ?
Then i can power + volume up to start TWRP and install it right ?

Although there is an OTA update center, but it doesn't show latest updates! So you should check here in forum for updates!

No, you should press volume up and use fastboot mode to flash boot.img
Then type fastboot reboot and disconnect cable and press volume up when LED lights on.

Also, for recovery mode do i need to press the volume up button continuously or just long press it

Quickly pressing one time when phone vibrates is enough, but it's better to press 2-4 times continuously.

Well, copy and paste the guide to my PM box as well please. Or make a new thread because there's really no one central and up-to-date thread about what exactly you need in one post. Everything seems scattered around and thus I haven't too figured out what and how because I guess I'm probably missing some stuff.

New ROM ?
1) Enter fastboot mode
Flash TWRP
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-...-.img
2) Flash Kernel
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) Boot kernel via fastboot and enter TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
4) During boot of the kernel press vol up (once the notification LED changes) -> color changes to deeper orange -> you enter TWRP
swipe and skip forward --> Reboot -> Recovery
5) You're in TWRP again, now partitions work
6) install SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip works great)
7) reboot -> System
8) ???
9) Profit !
Thank you

Honor 6 - Unable to access recovery mode. Stuck at boot screen (honor logo)

Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:

@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

Give it a couple of tries. Users have suggested that it usually gets stuck somewhere but trying for 2,3 times gets the job done.

Thank you for your input guys. I am now able to enter stock recovery mode (3 button mode); however, the installation stops at 5%.
Any suggestions?

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.

[EXPERIMENTAL] [RECOVERY] [TWRP] Vivo V3 (non-max) Custom Recovery

[size=+2]TWRP Custom Recovery for Vivo V3[/size]
This is an experimental custom recovery for Vivo V3 based on TWRP version 3.0.2-0. You can use this recovery to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIPs. Full root access is available via an ADB shell.
Important - read before flashing
This is an experimental recovery. Whilst it will not prevent your device from booting back in to its normal ROM, I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong. If you flash this recovery to your device you will no longer be able to receive OTA updates for Funtouch OS and will have to install ROM updates manually unless you flash back to original stock recovery.
DOWNLOAD LINK
TWRP Custom Recovery
Flashing Instructions
1. Go to Settings, then More Settings, About Phone, and then tap Software version 10 times. It should now say that you are a developer.
2. Go to Settings, then More Settings, Developer Options. Turn on USB Debugging and Enable OEM Unlock.
3. Connect your phone to your computer. Authorize the USB debugging request on your phone screen.
4. If you haven't already, install ADB/Fastboot drivers. See here for further instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
5. Place the TWRP file from the download links above in your current directory
6. Completely power off your phone.
7. Hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons together until you see a black screen with FASTBOOT options.
8. In a command line window (or using Minimal ADB Fastboot if you used the above instructions), run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-v3.img
9. If all went well the custom recovery has now been flashed. Use the volume buttons on your phone to select "RECOVERY" from the FASTBOOT options on-screen, then press the power button to confirm. You should now be in recovery mode! Congratulations!
Going back to stock recovery
Currently I have no original recovery image, so you will not be able to go back to stock recovery unless Vivo release it (unlikely).
Note to testers:
You can make a backup of the stock V3 recovery by flashing this TWRP recovery like so:
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery-v3.img
fastboot reboot
This flashes the recovery to your boot partition rather than the recovery partition. You'll then be able to make a backup of the stock recovery in TWRP. After saving a copy to your SD card, flash back to your original boot partition like so:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-original-v3-1.8.20.img
fastboot reboot
Afterwards you can flash this TWRP to your recovery partition as normal and then you also have a stock recovery file too. Please upload it to this forum if you make a backup of stock.
The original stock boot image can be downloaded here if you need it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0TtHsl8vcaLYTJhZHNHTFVfdGs/view?usp=sharing

Hello.
Making of custom recovery can be very difficult to explain but this thread tells you how to build TWRP recovery from source code.
Some pointers for building for Vivo V3 SD616:
1. Use Omni 5.1 sources instead of CM (see thread for more info)
2. Download latest V3 firmware from www.vivoglobal.com. Extract boot.img from the ZIP file and then use software called Android Image Kitchen (or similar) to extract the contents of boot.img.
3. From boot.img, find fstab.qcom file and make a note of its contents. You will need this information to make recovery.fstab file for TWRP.
4. From boot.img, find the "device fingerprint" and make a note of it. It's usually in default.prop file or can be somewhere else.
5. Make a note of the kernel command line options from the boot.img zImage split as they may be useful.
Finally:
If you manage to compile a full TWRP recovery for your phone but it does not boot, simply replacing the kernel from boot.img of latest firmware into the TWRP image may fix this. (again use Android Image Kitchen or similar).
I hope this helps. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

you will brick your phone , Only flash your phone`s compatible ROMs and Recoveries i.e those of your phone model and cpu structure . Also Vivo has not open sourced its development as other phone makers so making it custom friendly is freakin pain in the >> A$% . anyhow :good: keep your hopes up someone might just make a custom rom for VIVO once they hack into it. Till then stay away from anything that is not VIVO
For those who need the official VIVO V3 (non-max) recovery, I have the latest version here:

I didnt get anything from the post. you have to be little bit specific.
i mean you
1. unlocked bootloader(fine)
2. installed twrp(also fine)
3. installed cm13(great)
4. you reverted back to stock rom??? How from twrp, flashfire or fastboot.?
and now how are you trying to install twrp? from fastboot?
Flash twrp image with fastboot, start TWRP, reboot recovery within TWRP, then twrp sticks... profit.

TWRP is not sticking...
1) Start the bootloader, flash TWRP in fastboot with the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (Replace twrp.img with the name of the TWRP img file)
2) Press VOL DN to start Recovery and select it, TWRP should start... When prompted if you should allow changes to system, say YES or allow or whatever so that is allowed to mount system as read-write.
3) In the TWRP main menu, select Reboot, then Reboot - Recovery
4) The device will restart and TWRP will start again, if asked to allow changed changes to system again, allow it
5) Go to Mounts and make sure Mount System Read-Only is NOT ticked
6) Press Home, then Reboot and Reboot Recovery again
TWRP will start again and be set, it will not go away unless you flash something with a recovery.img in the file (custom ROMs do not normally contain this file).

At what point? What command are you using to perform the flash?
I'm sorry... I've just done this on numerous G3's and what you are describing doesn't just happen for no reason... either the initial flash was done incorrectly, the process to set it was not followed, or there is actually a defect in the device (which is unlikely if TWRP boots even once after bring flashed).

NEVER USE KINGROOT OR KINGOROOT on a Moto G3 with Marshmallow, it will soft brick... We have seen at least a half dozen specific examples by experienced users... Somehow you got lucky, but I would never recommend this method to a user.
Now, once rooted Flashify is a viable option.

While this technique certainly appears to have been researched. Running though the instructions has resulted in my device caught in a boot-loop. A pretty serious one too. I can no longer access the bootloader or recovery/
I fear the state my device is in is 'soft bricked/ I have no clue have to resolve this and without access to the bootloader I can't rollback anything.
Some friendly notes for Hsnmastoor:
You should re-format the post. Writing the instructions then at the end supply the links and file attachments in the order in which they should be run As it is, the instructions are confusing .
If anyone has any ideas how to correct the boot loop, plug me in

Has anyone flashed this successfully?
any bugs? i flashed crdroid. it's too buggy
Hi everybody,
Still mad at myself for buying this phone (with MediaTek SOC) because of the lack of custom ROM support. Never had this issue before with any of my phones. If only i knew this before. The hardware of the phone is great, but the software makes it really frustrating to work with.
So i've tried a lot of things to either mod the original (Chinese) ROM so it's at least functional. And i have also tried multiple of these GSI ROM install methods. Everytime without succes.
I've tried your previous method with the 'GSI installer' and the one from this guide. Neither of them worked. (Boot loop). I have a feeling i run into trouble because (if i'm correct) the original ROM uses a 'super' partition and not a 'system' partition.
If i remember correctly the GSI installer couldn't continue because it couldn't find the system partition.
In this guide (for corvus) i figured i'd flash the system.img to my super partition. Of cource that doesn't work either. If only it was that simple.
Everytime it fails i have to flash back to a standard xiaomi ROM and start all over again. Because for some reason the TWRP backups also dont work for me.
So maybe i'm missing a step in the guide or i've already tried so much to mod my phone i've changed settings/partitions that shouldn't have been changed for this guide to work.
My bootloader is unlocked, i have/had TWRP 3.41 installed.
After a fail i flash back to the original ROM using Xiaomi ABD/Fastboot Tools (xiaomiABDFastbootTools.jar)
Any help would be appreciated!
I never had issue when I flashed the GSI from the crdroid guide did you make sure that you put the GSI installer.zip and the image file rename to system.img to the root internal storage??
Yes i did. It could also find the system.img file, but just wasn't able to flash it.
Can you tell mw what ROM you were flashing from?
