Hello everyone, this is my first time flashing a custom rom to my phone which is a sony m4 aqua dual (model is e2363). After installing the custom rom, I forgot to press Wipe cache/Dalvik then rebooted the phone. Now I am stuck in a bootloop. I can't access recovery mode and my phone cannot be detected by my pc. How do I fix this? Thanks guys.
Best way to fix that is to empty the battery so let it boot loop until it drains the battery, charge if for about 5% and then put it in TWRP mode if that fails and it goes back into boot loop drain the battery(why the 5%) and, put it in download mode and, flash TWRP for your device.

Thank you for your reply. How would I be able to put it into download mode? I can't put it to recovery mode by pressing power button and volume down button. Thanks.

Download mode for the Sony model should be for this model is Volume down + Insert USB cable for Sony it is called Fast Boot Mode btw I am used to Samsung devices mostly but it comes down to the same.

Hello there,
I had once installed cm13 on my a9 then i restored it to stock rom with RUU file. Yesterday it drained battery to 0% and powered down. I put it to charge, It was On 19% when I turned it on but it won't start beyond the 'htc one' logo on white screen and when I power it down holding 'vol up and power' buttons (it does not respond to power button only) it restart itself and stuck on logo again.
Please guys help me out with that.
Thanks
If restored via ruu...have you tried a factory reset from recovery?

yes but adb fastboot shows no device attached
if can get to download mode then not to messed up...Has it charged all the way up? If so try rerunning the ruu when connected to computer in download mode...
I've formatted the tab using latest twrp recovery after that I did a restart using recovery and it was taking long to boot back to recovery and force restarted it by holding power button.
Now I can't boot to reocovery or download mode by holding volume down + power button & up + power, it does boot into the usual Galaxy tab logo and then nothing.
If i hold the power button to long it's just boot back again to the tab logo.
When I put the charger to the device it just stuck on the battery logo.
I've also removed the back part and removed battery and tried again, But still same...
Also tried to flash the odin when it's stuck on galaxy logo, odin does recognize the connection but can't flash anything!
Is there any other way to boot back to download mode????
EDIT :
I did removed the back part of the tab to remove battery and try inserting, but still I was not able to boot to download or either recovery mode by hold power + volume buttons.
I think maybe the power button or the volume button has some issue that's why it was not able to boot into recovery/download mode.
After that I've drained the device battery and reconnected it to device charger and it automatically booted into download mode.
And flashed the stock rom then switched to a custom rom!
Problem solved for now, I'll update the thread later!

The phone boots to only Download mode. I tried to flash it and nothing changed, still stuck on Powered by Android. I need some help ?. Doesn't boot to recovery or even doesn't display charging screen. If you plug in the charger, it only boots to Powered by Android screen. What could be the problem?

Have you tried rebooting into recovery mode using the buttons (Power/Volume/Home) ? If able to access recovery then try factory reset.
It only boots to download mode. Can't boot to recovery

If you cant access recovery or download mode using button combination then good luck. I'd read your post as [once plugged in just boots to powered by android]. You weren't too specific. Details help (rom? stock? custom?] Have you tried leaving it on for a few minutes to see if it progresses any further (past powered by android)? Or what? You can't throw out a general statement and expect specific answers. It's like ... my phone broke ... help.
If once unplugged you cant do anything with button combo then maybe google jtag or dongle jig.
It does boot to download mode that's how I flashed stock rom on it. It was running stock before and had issues with the battery on replacing the battery, it went into a bootloop.

Did you fix it? I am facing the same problem
Hello all,
I own a Samsung a30s and decided to root it via magisk, all worked well until I decided to get TWRP on it.
I flashed TWRP via the app and it let me flash through it as my phone was already rooted.
After it had flashed, I restarted my phone and tried to go to recovery, but the phone just turned off, it won't get up, I tried to force restart it by holding down the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. It turns on, shows the logo, and then shuts down again.
Cant go to download mode as well

Wait until the battery is fully discharged
Or open the back cover and disconnect the battery and then plug it in again
Try booting the device to download mode afterwards
Hello everyone. So I've been trying ROMS(Rooted Stock, RwizzROM Creator Magisk module, Andy Yan's LineageOS, LineageOS R Mod), I'm currently on LineageOS R Mod with rainbow kernel and I wanted to flash back to stock because the touch-not-working-after-phone-sleeps problem was annoying me. I tried using "adb reboot download", and holding "Vol + and Vol -" button and plugging my phone but it doesn't boot into download mode, same goes for recovery mode with "adb reboot recovery" and "Power and Vol +" button. It just boots up the phone to the phone screen. I also tried factory resetting the phone but it just reboots it and does nothing. The phone still works but now I can't go back to stock ROM. I was just wondering if anybody experienced this as well and is there a possible fix for this or am I stuck with this ROM now?

Which model, and where did you get image file of ROM? There could be a chance it replaced your recovery with it's from boot.img, same goes for download mode. But I still think that is less common to happend for download because it is stored on a special partition unlike recovery.
At the end of the day, you can always boot in to META-MODE and from there flash everything new.

Nvm my question here XD. I finally booted into Download mode. What I did was I turned off my phone then I held the Power and Vol - button and the screen was stuck on a "Charging" image or something then after that I held the power button and when the phone shut down I held the Vol + and Vol - and plugged the phone to my laptop and it booted into Download mode and I am now on Stock ROM again. I'm not sure if that really was META-MODE but it did help me do some searching and trying on my phone. Thanks for the help and knowledge

Meta mode is diffrent from download mode(odin mode). To enter META-MODE you have to joint pins on the board. And you can't just get that stcuk in a ROM, everything works but you probably are very new to this so it is a new experience for you. And when you are flashing new fimware, I recomend to follow this guide:
