My Xperia Neo V is stuck in boot loop. Please help

Hello. My Xperia Neo v is stuck in bootloop.

Help me fire it up. Please

I installed Custom Rom along gapps. Then wiped out data and system format. Then I rebooted it. And since then it's just in bootloop. Please help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
You should wipe data and cache at first, then install the ROM along with the gapps with it!

Sent from my Xperia Neo V using SwiftKey Flow
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jsyed55:
What about boot loop then?

That's the first mistake I did. But how do I go into recovery or download mode now? It is stuck in bootloop. Please help me get out of bootloop. Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jsyed55:
back to cwm again.

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.

please help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :

1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.

if this didn't work,

2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.

but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jsyed55:
Can you help me find the ftf file? My phone doesnt even start nwo. I mean it doesnt boot. It directly goes to CWM. Please help. Really appreciate your help. thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jsyed55:
Thank God. My phone is up and running.

Thanks a lot man. YOu just saved me. I found a ftf file on the web. It was of the size 400MB. ICS European version. Downloaded and flashed it through Flashtool. I can now breathe a sigh of relief.

Really appreciate your help. But, I would love to know more about this stuff.

Goodbye

I was trying to update from Ultimate HD 5 to 5.0.1. When the installation ended, i rebooted and then my phone went to bootloop. I have no access to CWM where i have a backup. I used flashtool but my phone still doesn't open! What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
Hi guys,

My phone (GSM yakjuzs) was stuck in bootloop ages ago. Still can't find a solution to this. It was running 4.0.2, unrooted. At first the bootloop went all the way through Google splashscreen. After plenty of mucking around, now it couldn't pass through Google logo.

I tried to flash the phone with 4.0.4 to no available. It kept saying 'Sending bootloader: failed (status read: failed)' or 'Sending bootloader: failed (remote: write fail)'.

I'm wondering if actually the device has to be rooted first in order to flash a phone. How could I root it if it's already stuck in bootloop?

PS: I tried flashing using mskip's tool, wug's etc. The pc detected the phone in fastboot mode. I could see the numbers.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
If your bootloader is still locked, you won't be able to flash. Keep in mind that to flash the 4.0.4 update manually using fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader. Doing so will wipe data/factory reset the phone causing you to lose everything in your internal storage.

Command to unlock the bootloader - fastboot oem unlock

follow link below for instructions on flashing a stock image.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

the guide specifies up to ICL53F, you can actually use the commands he states in the guide but replace the file names with those of the stock IMM76I image directly from google. Location of stock google images (yakju) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

I hope this helps you in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
I forgot to say I had already unlocked the bootloader. However it's still unrooted if it does matter.

Thanks for posting the link though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
It shouldn't matter if you're unrooted. If you try the commands in one of the links I sent, it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
Okay, will try this later and I'll get back to you. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
Hi racerklm,

I tried your method and it failed.

When I entered the first command, the result was as follows:

Sending bootloader ......... OKAY

writing bootloader ......... Failed (remote: write fail)

I just don't get what this means. Does anyone know what this is about? Any help is really appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
Are you on a GSM or CDMA gnex? Just to clarify things. If you're on a GSM version the below applies to you.

Did you download the Superboot zip from the first thread i linked you? You need to extract both the r4-galaxynexus-gsm-superboot.zip and the IMM76I.zip you downloaded from google.

Look for the following files inside the IMM76I.zip you downloaded from google and transfer them to the same directory as fastboot.

bootloader-maguro-primela03.img

radio-maguro-i9250xxla2.img

image-yakju-imm76i.zip

Once that's done, do the following commands (taken from thread I linked you).

fastboot-windows flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img

fastboot-windows reboot-bootloader

fastboot-windows flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla2.img

fastboot-windows reboot-bootloader

fastboot-windows -w update image-yakju-imm76i.zip

if you're on mac or linux just replace "windows" in the commands with "linux" or "mac"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
I'm using a GSM model. I did download the superboot zip and the stock google image.zip and extracted all of their files into the same folder.

I have also already typed the first fastboot command. However those words came up again. The very exact words when I tried to fix the device using mskip's and wug's tool. I also tried using two other Windows PC and one Mac PC to no avail. Haven't tried linux since I don't have one.

Your posts are very informative, I thank you a lot for that. However it just didn't work in my case. I've read plenty of similar threads. Their devices could get back to normal. Mine doesn't. I don't know why. Hence, I really wonder what 'remote: write fail' means.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
Sorry that there's nothing I can do to help you solve this problem. Have you tried just running the last command? fastboot-windows -w update image-yakju-imm76i.zip? If somehow you can get that flashed, it should boot up normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
I tried that just now and this came up:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

--------------------------------------------

Bootloader Version...: PRIMEKK15

Baseband Version.....: I9250XXKK6

Serial Number........: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

--------------------------------------------

checking product... OKAY

checking version-bootloader... OKAY

checking version-baseband... OKAY

sending 'boot' (4148 KB)... OKAY

writing 'boot'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many open files in system))

Long time ago I could get into recovery mode and playing around with the device. I wonder if I accidentally unmount the sd? Now I could no longer get into recovery mode. When I select recovery, it would just go to the Google logo with lock image at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
hmm try flash clockwork recovery and see if that works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
If it's refusing to flash valid files from fastboot, you may just have a hardware defect. Relock the bootloader and if you can still produce the bootloop symptoms, take it for warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
I can boot into CWM but not flash it. Is there anything else I could do before sending it in for warranty/fixing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] racerklm:
most likely then it's a hardware defect. best to take it in for warranty work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The first thing I would try is to change USB cables.

Next I would try changing USB ports on your PC. Use the ones at the back, not the front.

If that still doesn't work, and you have CWM installed, you could always flash back to stock while booted in CWM (assuming your PC sees your device when booted in CWM).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chinpokomon:
Crazy as it sounds, you may also want to check your USB cable.

When I worked as Swype's tester, I flashed perhaps hundreds of ROMs across many different devices. In particular I remember having a similar problem with a particular prereleased device, and swapping the USB cable seemingly fixed the problem on more than one occasion. I studied EE in school, and I never could explain why this was a problem or why this would fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsoelivan:
I have already tried 3 different USB cables and all ports in my PC. But, I'm gonna give it one more try for the last time. :mad:

I don't have CWM installed, I could only boot it from mskip's tools.

At first I was using two Blackberry's USB cables and it didn't work. Then I read in the forum suggesting to use the original cable. I became very hopeful and suddenly grabbed the USB cable came with the phone.

However, as I said before, I might probably try this method one more time. I'm gonna install a linux OS first and try again before sending it in.

On the other hand, I've tried another method of flashing using ODIN mode. Not surprised at all, it still didn't work. :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeDo:
I've tried a half dozen wallpaper changers already and can't find one with the simple features I want.

1. chooses wallpaper from a folder

2. displays them randomly (can be every time I unlock or after a time limit)

"WallChanger" comes close, but the order is not random, it keeps showing the first few files in the folder.

Every other app either doesn't work with KF, doesn't override lock screen wallpaper, or crashes outright. I'm not really willing to flash a new rom and I'm content with Go Launcher (which has its own wallpaper system but it doesn't play well with KF). So does someone have a simple APK that can handle this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzolak:
Hi!

I bought GSII few weeks ago. The GB experience was superb. Super smooth, extra fast. So i thought i will give ICS a chance. Fist official samsung LPD. Everything work smooth but wasnt that super fast as GB. Mostly the scrolling. Don't get me wrong it didn't lag but there was something weird to it. Like micro lag , jumping i dont know how to describe it but it was very annoying. So then i tried Resurrection Remix and it is GREAT but the scrolling issue still in place. I spent like 2 days on reading , tried every kernel out there, every performance setting there is, wipe/clean everything to stock etc. even used the super wipe kernel script and everything run great expect this fu**** scrolling its making me mad. Even the phonebook scrooling is weird, i mean it load superfast, scroll is very fast but weird like micro lag/jumping like stutter for micro sec. Is it me or you guys didn't notice that. Is there any other way other than returing to GB :(??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPadie:
Hi everyone.

<SKIP> (if you don't like reading a lot)

So, I managed to do a very silly thing *slaps own wrist*. After spilling some food on my brand new pair of shorts, I chucked them straight in the washing machine without thinking. After about 5 minutes, I noticed a slight knocking noise coming from the washing machine, and alas, when I dug my hand in the water to try find the culprit item, I pulled out my drenched SGS2.

Now, as any technically-minded person does after such an incident, I immediately pulled out the battery, SIM card and memory card, and went sifting through my kitchen for rice. It was in the sealed bag of rice for about 1.5 weeks, after which I tried to turn it on. It worked! However, the touch screen wasn't responding, so bag into the bag.

Closer to two weeks, I took it out again. This time, everything seemingly worked fine! I did however notice while using the back camera that some residue from the water has stuck onto the rear camera lens. It also took me a while to notice that the bottom microphone isn't working, which defeats the point of having a phone.

Everything else works fine. I took it to a local repair shop (which I'm a bit doubtful of) and they came back to me saying they couldn't do anything.

</SKIP>

So, in conclusion, the bottom microphone isn't working (people can't hear me during calls), and the rear camera lens has residue on it (which can be seen when using the camera):

1) Assuming the warranty is now void due to water damage, do you think I should try my hand at replacing the microphone/USB board on my own? Has anybody done it, and has some pointers? Anyone know a good place to get these?

2) Is anyone aware if the camera area can be broken down to such a point that I can wipe the residue off the lens?

I'm tempted to just take it to another repair shop for them to try - really don't want to go to Samsung though, as they'll likely charge a small fortune.

Thanks for the help in advance,

MrP.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
I replaced the earpiece (speaker) in my HTC HD2. It was a pain in the ass to tear down. I imagine that my SG2 would be even harder.

I found the earpiece on ebay for only about $10, and it even came with a few tools needed for the tear down (plastic pry tools). It was not for the faint of heart...meaning that I was stressed to the balls, and wasn't sure until it was over if I had destroyed my phone. So the microphone should be possible to replace, if you're careful and technically inclined.

The camera will also probably need to be replaced (although, you might find otherwise when you take it apart). The good news is that it shouldn't cost more than $20, but I have no idea really...just estimating. Here's a link to a guy's G+ post who did it click me.

If you look on google, you'll find youtube videos about the tear down and how to do it. [YOUTUBE]k6Y6an6D2PE[/YOUTUBE] I'd watch those first to check the difficulty. I think I've also seen instructions somewhere, but don't remember exactly where.

Good luck. Stay calm and be careful. :D

Good morning to all,

i'm a noob here, I have entered in this community because I need the help from you that are more experienced than me about root problematic.

First I want to apologize for my English: I'm Italian and I could wrong some words.

Anyway, some day ago I bought this smartphone:

I9220 Smartphone 5 pollici capacitivo android 4.0 wifi gps 3g umts

(you can see in myfox site)

It's an Android 4.0.3 5" smartphone, a china replica of I9220.

For a problem related to the rotation my wife has decided to restore the fabric settings but making that now the smartphone does'n recognize the IMEI.

If there isn't another solution ,I have understood that we need to root the smartphone.

So, is there somebody that can help me to make this operation?

I need the USB drivers and a procedure to follow for a newbie like me

I thanks in advance who can give me a big help

This doesn't happen alot but is very annoying.

So i searched around, and seems like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1451218 is better..

I didn't find anything about installing in his thread.

then follow the guide here on how to flash XXKPQ

Once your firmware is XXKPQ

download CF-ROOT here for xxkpq

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351056

then flash via odin select PDA then browse cf root

after rooting download the kernel and the rom in the link you've given,

go to CWM recovery and install zip (browse the vurrutROM) once installed flash the kernel through odin same step (PDA in odin).

Hope it helped.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Just a question, which one is more stable, Using the stock rom and bam's custom kernel, Or Vurruts rom and his kernel?

And if following the steps CORRECTLY can anything bad happen just because of badluck? i mean if you do it right, the result is 100% success?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
Ive personally never tried both BAM's and vurrut rom . Maybe you can go to the thread and check on the feedback.

and if you follow the instructions properly nothing's gonna happen and yes if its done right its 101% success. Make sure you take a backup before proceeding with anything (Who knows it might not be you lucky day ;) ) . Just kiddin bro ... Go ahead ..
