Need help with my phone - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everyone,
I have been facing a huge problem in the past weeks after I have done one mistake.
I was installing a newer version of TWRP recovery and instead of installing the image I installed it as zip.
My OS was gone, I couldn't get it to "recover" my OS in any way. The kernel seems fine.
I have tried to use a micro SD and USB cable to install a new ROM but TWRP couldn't detect my SD card and my PC couldn't connect to my phone.
I also wiped my whole data.
My phone doesn't boot in the recovery unless it's not charging and start with ONLY pushing the power button.
Holding power and volume up will make it vibrate 3 times and restart.
Charging the phone makes it stuck on the android logo after the battery status.
The phone overheats and the battery drains extremely .
The only message I got from TWRP is, "No OS installed".
Other logs are inaccessible or wiped.
I would appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance!

1. Turn off your phone
2. Enter the phone Flashmode by holding the volume down button, then connect to a PC (the led should be green and your PC should recognize your Z5).
3. Flash the FTFs in Flashtool.
Information about how to that can be found on this forum.

This might help.

[Q] Bricked motorola xt910? Need help please!!!

Hi there, thanks in advance for your kind support on the overall aspects of android development.
here is what i have done.
i wanted to update my motorola xt910 with 4.0.4 ics to CM10 (CYANOGENMOD)10
So i get the cm10 rom and google apps on my sd card
And installed the clockworkmod recovery 5.8.4.5 black edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826
then i made the procedures after install the apk
after that i reboot in cwm and make a backup of the existing rom
and reboot the phone.
then i dowload the rom manager from the app store, install it and select the right recovery 3.+++ for the razr reboot the phone .
then i went on rom manager and enter in clockword mod and install the rom cm 10 (after i installed it i remember i should wipe data and cache) so i after installed cm10, i wiped data and cache, and right after i installed again the cm10 rom and google aps, without even reboot or leave rom manager app, after that i rebooted the phone and the only thing it shows me its the M logo on start.
I cant go to fastboot either, doesnt recognise the rsd lite.
And it only "boots" if its called that way if i hit power + vol up + vol down. but then it only appears the M logo for a few seconds and then the cell it turns off (i guess). it was with a fully 100% battery when i did the procedure.
Any way to solve this?
it detects when i conect it to the pc, but it doesnt show anything, only the sound that some usb thing is conected and then disconected, no card showing nothing, just the sound.
ANY HELP WILL BE GLADLY WELCOME!!!
THANKS

I have successfully manage to UNBRICK IT.
here is the procedure i have done:
1-plug it in motorola cable and put the rsdlite on
2-plug the usb on the computer (you will hear the sound of some usb beeing conected but nothing else)
3- hit the power buton + vol up + vol down several times until it appears fast boot
ex: you click it now see the M logo, and then you hit it again on power + vol up + vol down, all of this with the cable conected to the pc and the rsd lite on.
4-after it entered on fastboot mode, you will see a black screen with some white writing on it
5-get a fastboot xml of your rom (in my case brasilian one) and flash it true the rsd, wait wait wait until the process finishes and dont disconect or touch anything. In my case it took about 15 minutes with several stops and bootloops on the same procedure, but i successfully manage to bring it to life.
Note this method will only work if you have enough battery on your phone, if not try to buy a factory cable to charge the battery via USB port and then try it on.
Remember to charge 5% you will nedd to get it on the usb about 15 minuts or so, if you plan to do this procedure i will hardly advice you to leave it about 5hours to fully charge your battery and you get the job done without any other issues.
Thanks to all and i hope this thread will be helpfull to others too.

[Q] Bricked, help!!

Thank you for reading in advance! Any ideas here would be appreciated!! I will try and describe what happened in as much detail as possible...
1. Flashed MIUI on my Xperia miro, was working fine
2. Restored apps and system data from Titanium
3. Tried opening my contacts but got an error message, some android process not responding and then the contacts app would crash too (this happened multiple times)
4. Decided to do factory reset so I backed up everything again onto Titanium (I'm not too worried about the back up as all apps can be downloaded again/contacts collected again)
5. On MIUI went to Settings/Backup and reset/Factory reset and reset the whole thing including unmounting SD card
6. I left the phone to do this and when I came back it was completely unresponsive
I now can't do any kind of boot (just power button, volume up + power, volume down + power, both volume + power) and I can't boot into fastboot or flash (volume up + USB, volume down + USB), it doesn't vibrate when powering on or show any LEDs, the only response I can get from my phone is that the computer recognises it when I plug it in, but it can't find or install any drivers for whatever mode my phone is now in...
I've tried everything I can think of (e.g. trying to boot into recovery etc) so now I'm stuck :crying: I can access an external SD card and put files onto that then put it back in the phone if that helps at all.... Thanks in advance!!
Maybe your battery is dead? Charge it via external charger , and then try connecting in fastboot.

HELP Please; soft brick

Hi everyone.
Ok back in August I purchased an Oppo r7plus "m" version not knowing the difference, from a 3rd party seller. I know I probably should've waited until the phone would go on sale in Canada but I wasn't sure if it ever would. So anyways the phone worked great for a while. I noticed that it came pre loaded with OPPO Tools and Super SU. I thought wow, this phone is rooted right of the box? Great! So I started uninstalling some native apps of which I thought were just "bloatware", everything went fine until I uninstalled the weather app.
When I turned the phone back on after restarting, it now goes into the OS but continuosly flashes on and off and you can only access the dropdown notification screen. Luckily from there I can still access the settings menu. I tried holding the power button and volume down button to go to the factory boot screen. That worked and in there its says the color os version, but in brackets says
(rooted).
I can only assume the phone is still rooted but is stuck in some sort of soft brick. I've been doing alot of reading into how I might be able to fix the phone but I'm having trouble figuring it out. I'm good with computers and all but not to this level and I never rooted an android phone before.
Please somebody HELP.
So I've downloaded the ROM for my phone model, r7 plus m, and I transfered the zip file over to the internal storage of the device. I then held down the volume down and power buttons to boot to color os recovery. Than I cleared cache and install from sd found the zip file and it started to run.
After about a minute or two into the installation it stops and reads "Installation Failed". I'm thinking I need a recovery.img file but I'm not sure. Even if I had that file I don't know what to do next.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, how did you sort it? Are you still in need of stock recovery? I have one for model F, dont know if it works with M model.
1. Download and extract my RAR files ---> HERE
2. Open your PC device manager
3. Connect an usb cable only to your pc then press and hold the phone volume + button and then connect the usb cable to the phone
3. In the device manager you will see Qhsub_bulk then release the volume+ button
4. Right click on Qhsub_bulk and choose update driver
5. Use one of the driver folders which you alredy extract to install the Qualcomm driver and you will see it like 9008
6. Your phone have to be charged very well for a few hours before you try to flash it.
7. Remove it from the charger then connect an usb cable only to your pc.
8. Try to press and hold the volume + and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds and connect the usb cable to the phone.
9. You have to see the driver in the device manager like 9006 (you can release the buttons) [it wasn't easy for me so keep trying]
10. Open the MSMDownloader and press start
11. If everything is ok you will see a green progress bar flashing. (I was stuck here with the "NON-HLOS.bin" file which you can see in the "Other NON-HLOS File" folder inside the rom which you download)
12. When the process complete in about 10 minutes you can remove the usb cable from your phone.
13. Now you have to do a veeeeeeeery long press and hold on your power button untill you feel the vibration and after that you will see the OPPO logo.
14. Leave it for 5-10 minutes to load the Color OS.
15. Ok you have a working phone but still some apps icons that are missing and the keyboard doesn't appear when you have to write something.
16. Download THIS zipped ROM and put it in the internal storage of your phone.
17. Shut down the phone then press and hold the volume - and the power button at the same time for a while intil you enter into recovery mode.
18. Choose english and then install rom from zip file. After the installation complete reboot the phone and you will get a working keyboard and few more apps like Browser, Chinese market and else....
For me i still need to insert the IMEI's because they are lost... and now i have message: Oppo nv backup. The NV partition is invalid...
Good luck to all! And if you want to give me a beer: paypal: [email protected]

Brick after flashing new rom.

Hi,
I wanted to change my rom to newest version of CarbonROM (7.x.x). I downloaded new rom, copied this onto my sd card, then I rebooted my phone to recovery where I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik. Later I flashed new rom from .zip file, everything went fine, so I rebooted my device and then I realized that it's not starting anymore. I was holding power button but there was only short vibration signal and anything more, when I connect my xperia z3 (d6603) to charger, only red light is blinking, when I'm trying to start device while it's connected to charger, red light is not blinking but it shines continously till I release power button. When I'm holding power and volume up there are only three short vibrations and that's all, they are repeating till I release buttons (this only happens when xperia is connected to charger or computer in other situation there is no response for power and volume up). Flashtool says that I have to install drivers, but they're already installed, device manager shows my phone as uknown device. But when I'm connecting my phone to computer, there is this specific sound from windows and flashtool shows that 'Device disconnected', when I'm disconnecting it. Is there any hope for my phone? Can I try anything more?
well try to enter fastbootmode and flash a recovery.
Similar issue here, I have a d6603 and after using GiefRoot & NUT's DualRecovery I succesfully entered TWRP and attempted to install CarbonROM (latest: device-z3 on the official website)
Now my phone won't boot until I re-flash an older version of stock... any help would be greatly appreciated!
1. Followed this guide: xda's Z3 forum: guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
2. boot into recovery, turn off zip verification
3. install CarbonMOD's zipfile
What'd I miss? :S

Unbricking HTC U12+

Hey guys - I hope you're doing well.
I recently got an HTC U12+, but wanted to try using a custom ROM due to all of the bloatware . Unfortunately I think I've ended up bricking my device. Here are some things I've since tried:
- Restoring to the backup I made beforehand in TWRP - restore works without any errors, but then just hangs at the boot screen
- Method 1 from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664) - TWRP always says the zip files are corrupted for some reason
- Method 3 from that same thread - this actually worked before, but I tried installing a custom ROM again, somehow messed up again, and now this method no longer works as it just hangs at the "HTC" boot screen for eternity
- Both methods in this thread (https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-htc-firmware-ruu-and-zip/) - the first one leads to a "failed remote 99 ru unknown fail terrible mishap" error, and for some reason my PC doesn't see my phone when I try the second despite being able to see it in file manager
- Probably many other methods that I've now forgotten
I know this is a whole lot of information, but I'm in desperate need of some help. I typically like to troubleshoot things myself, but I've been trying to fix this for quite some time now and could definitely use another set of (much more experienced) eyes. I greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks.
Flash RUU with SD card method
Download RUU from here(important:check your CID): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wIRrVQawd5rD-t9VKPQ-SdRK20RcJVZhwD7lhmPIK8w/edit#gid=0
1. rename RUU to 2Q55IMG.zip
2. copy zip in the root of your sd card. - external card / not internal - it will not work
3. reboot to download mode,
4. your device will pick up the zip file and flash it.
5.follow on screen instructions and enjoy your RUU(this method erase all your data)
I'm having an issue with my u12+ where it just continually reboots to a message saying "The boot loader is unlocked and the software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device maybe available to attackers, do not store sensitive data on this device" and then it shows the white HTC logo that says Powered by Android down the bottom of the screen, it stays like that for about 5 minutes and then reboots and does the same thing over again.
Holding the power down button does nothing, it will not turn off the phone. Holding power and volume down does nothing either. The phone just does this every 6 minutes and reboots and cycle and that's it.
I've tried putting the file 2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_DUGL_O80_SENSE10GP_hTC_Asia_TW_1.53.709.1_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_531499_signed_2_4.zip (renamed to 2Q55IMG.zip) on the root of a 8gb Fat32 formatted SD card, but I just can't get into recovery or download mode.
I've tried holding down all 3 side buttons for minutes, or just the power button, or combination of buttons, they all do nothing to the phone. (it's as tho they are disabled, but sometimes holding a combination of the 3 will make the phone vibrate a little bit, but in no particular time or order)
When the phone is in either state (locked bootloader message or white HTC logo) my Windows 10 PC sees the phone plugged in as a "USB Input Device", not an Android Phone or Android Device. So using ADB or Fastboot commands do not work to it. I've tried to force the driver to the HTC driver but that does not work.
I also tried using the RUU_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.30.617.2.exe file, but once again it doesn't detect my phone.
Any help would be kindly appreciated.
Cheers!
EDIT: So I was finally able to get into download mode by waiting until the phone done its 6 minute reboot and then holding power down until it vibrated once, then held volume up until it vibrated again, then let go of the power button, I was then able to choose recovery, download etc.
So I managed to get the file 2Q55IMG.zip to install, it said it installed 100% okay. The phone rebooted and now I'm stuck again just at the white HTC logo and Power by Android down the bottom of the screen.
This time the phone is not automatically rebooting itself and no key combinations will make it reboot. I've tried holding them all in certain combinations for periods of time, the phone will not reboot or turn off.
EDIT 2: So maybe I didn't wait long enough after installing the 2Q55IMG.zip file, I finally got the phone to reboot and now I've got a working phone again. happy days :laugh:

with the phone off, turn it on,when you feel first vibration
quick release power key and keep push volume down.
Smartphone should boot in bootloader mode.

Cheer mates, issue sorted. I just updated my comment in my post.
Not sure if I'm game enough again now to try and put LeeDrOiD and Magisk on it.
