if you are stuck in boot loop or having difficulty starting your phone, don't worry, there should be a way.
I have experienced this issue today after flashing wrong file causing my phone to stuck in boot loop. after searching in this forum and after spending over 3 hours, I finally managed to restore my phone and it is now working perfectly fine.
therefore, I thought of making a basic guide to try to resolve such issues. please note, this is a very basic guide to resolve problems with starting your phone, I am not professional but will try to share my experience and help anyone in need. this was done on X10i
lets start:
1- if you have a recent back up and have access to xrec, you can simply restore your phone
2- if you have access to xrec but don't have a backup, try to flash a new ROM
I tried the previous two steps but it kept saying can't mount SD, therfore try the following
3- if you don't have xrec access, use the flash tool
download from here http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
then flash generic 2.1 to your x10, I used this one http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
here is the guide on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3
I have had problem saying "install or re-install drivers", you just need to install the file in the drivers folder in the flash tool main folder and restart the flash tool program
4- after flashing this ROM, restart your phone and root it using the flash tool, after the root your phone will restart, then you need to ask for premession and click xrec to install xrec to your phone
5- before installing new ROM, please make sure that your baseband and karnel is compatible with it (because the ROM you flashed earlier has old karnel and you will be stuck again in the boot loop if you flashed 2.3.3 just like me, then you will need to start again and install new karnel before instaling 2.3.3 ROM or even restore 2.3.3 ROM)
(you can simply install the new ROM then restart in flash mode and flash the new karnel .71 or flash the karnel and restore your backup)
I know that my choices of flash tool version or generic 2.1 version might not be the best, but I used them and resolved my issue and hope it will resolve yours. for any question please do not hesitate to ask me.
credits to everyone who helped, I can't remember everyone because I read quite a lot so please forgive me
nice post my friend
In flash tool I'm getting an error:
ERROR - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&2BFAB030&0&5
any idea what to do?
it sounds to me that u may need to install the semc flash drivers.. inside the flashtool u may find a folder named drivers, go inside of that folder and install ggsetup.. also do u have pc companion installed?

can you post the log from the flash tool so I can see at which step exactly this massage came up
I am fairly novice when it comes to flashing so here's a pretty dumb question:
I have an X10a, can I use the X10i software that you've linked in your post or is it just going to brick my phone.
Plzz help me i have root my arc 2.3.4 42 and installed cwm installer and installed recovery after I download a rom Ics and update it, so it retryed know it frezzing on sony ericsson i waited 1 hour nothing happend, I update back to normal use -updater servies after I trying again update new rom Ics is frezzing again what to do
Unlock bootloader Yes
Supercharger v6 not installed
did you flashed a compatible Boot.img? It seems that you've missed that part.
Flash either Stock Advanced ICS Kernel or Doomlord's ICS Kernel V4 and from there install the update.zip
Did u clear all cache and so on?
Welcome to the “All Things” Razr I Index thread. This Index thread contains basic information about the Motorola Razr I a.k.a. XT890 to get you started. It won’t contain any KERNEL and ROM Development, because of the numerous kernels and roms people can make. It would just flood this thread if it happens.
All the work that is presented in this thread belong to their rightful owners. I just sorted them and linked the threads in here.
Everything that u do to your phone it totally your own responsibility. Nobody here or elsewhere can be held account for a failure in flashing, device bricked or a rom problem if u tempered with your own device. But maybe we can help if u ask nicely.
This Index thread contains the following in this order:
A. GENERAL DISCUSSIONs
B. GENERAL (DEV) TOOLs
C. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER and ROOT
D. RECOVERYs
E. FIRMWAREs
F. MODs
G. WARNINGs, BRICKED DEVICEs SOLUTIONs/DISCUSSIONs
H. DOWNGRADE TO ICS

J. FROM CUSTOM ROM TO STOCK (with RELOCK BOOTLOADER)
Some important notes:
When using 3rd party software to alter your device u warranty may be voided. In every country this is different. Before going ahead, read your legal rights!!!
Each thread/sections can contain “important” notes
Do your research before doing anything
Read the information the owner of the thread gives u
Highly recommended to have a look at the ‘warnings, bricked devices solutions/discussions’ threads before using RSD-Lite and fastboot commands like flashing manual firmware versions.
Last note:
If u find something missing that should definitely be in this Index thread, please share.
If u find anything wrong and u know the answer, please share.
Can someone have a look at the downgrade section. That’s the only one I don’t know for sure.
A. GENERAL DISCUSSIONs

In different threads are different methods to acquire those tools. If u have them ones installed right, u don’t need them twice. It isn’t bad to have them multiple times though.

Put the mFastboot executable as 'mfastboot' in the directory where adb and the normal fastboot file are stored
RSD-Lite
Motorola Tools [Specially for Noobs] (November, 2012)
RSD-Lite in this thread is outdated(5.7), use the newest 6.1.x series from here
If one version doesn’t work, try another. 1 of the 3 should work for you!
ALWAYS USE YOUR CURRENT FIRMWARE OR HIGHER! DON’T DOWNGRADE WITH RSD-LITE. Downgrading with RSD-Lite will cause a soft-brick or if really screwed up a hard-brick. See ‘warnings, bricked devices solutions/discussions’ for more information.

G. WARNINGs, BRICKED DEVICEs SOLUTIONs/DISCUSSIONs
Downgrade problems JB -> ICS | Black screen green led | service required code currupt
Downgrading from JB to ICS with a locked bootloader is bad. According to a lot of users it will give u a bricked device. This is because RSD-Lite can also flash the motoboot (bootloader), gpt.bin (partition table) and motobp (radio?) and those 3 may never be downgraded only upgraded. Can only be resolved at a service station.
With an unlocked bootloader it is possible, but then again, don’t flash the motoboot, gpt.bin and motobp!
WARNING - Avoiding Bricked Phones + RSD Lite Tutorial (April, 2013)
Recommend to read before attempting to downgrade
RSD-Lite tutorial, not a downgrade tutorial
Unbricking JB to ICS downgraded hardbricks (Maart, 2013)
This is a unbrick method when u have the following message: Service Required Code Corrupt or black screen - green light. But be careful. This fix can help most of the problems, but not all because of the firmware differences. If it doesn't work for you, have a look at the one below. The owner and thread is still worth mentioning because of the finding of a possible fix, the many devices the owner saved and the discussion about the problem that came along.
Unbricking "Service Required Code Corrupt" (May, 2013)
A better documented unbrick method as the one above, but the same. Still won’t help everybody. But won’t harm your device more than it can and already is if u need this. Only for downgrade problems, everything other needs RSD-Lite or Jellybean versions of the files.
Other issues/discussions
Locked Bootloader, can't access Recovery
If u have a locked bootloader and u can’t access the recovery anymore and even RSD-Lite (latest version) with stock firmware (JB) won't work, there is no possible way to resurrect it, yet. Most of the time it means that you have a bad sector in your EMMC (flash memory) and with a locked bootloader it can’t be erased/written to.
PDS Partition Fix (July, 2014)
In TWRP recovery u can erase PDS. Never do it! Will be fixed when 4.4 is out.
Issue Locked bootloader
If u have any issue with your phone (bootloop, stuck on bootlogo) and u have a locked bootloader, try the following:
Reboot to stock recovery
Do a "factory reset"
If that doesn't solve it, flash your original firmware (JB) with RSD-Lite! Make sure u use one of the latest versions of RSD-Lite, 6.1.x. 6.1.5 is the latest (Augustus, 2014)
Unlocked bootloader
If u have any issue with your phone (bootloop, stuck on bootlogo) and u have a unlocked bootloader, try the following (all staps are on there own. If one doesn't work, try another):
Reflash your custom ROM if u use one (don't wipe) (Renews your system partition, stays of your data)
Wipe your data/cache in recovery (does what it says)
Wipe partitions system/data/cache and flash new rom (reflash whole new system)
Do a nandroid restore if u have a nandroid backup of the rom (restore a previous nandroid)
Do a RSD-Lite flash, use latest versions of your stock firmware and RSD-Lite. (reflash to complete stock)
H. DOWNGRADE TO ICS
If u still want to downgrade from JB to ICS for whatever reason, those are the most save methods, because we disable the flashing of the ‘motoboot’, ‘gpt.bin’ and 'motobp'. There are 2 methods, 1 is by RSD-Lite with a modified xml file and the other one is flashing all the files manually. CANNOT BE DONE WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER only unlocked!!!
RSD Lite:
Follow and read one of the tutorials for RSD-Lite and download your ICS Stock version of your device!
Set everything up and before flashing remove the following lines from the included XML file of the firmware u want to flash:
Code:
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “gpt” filename= “gpt_signed” MD5= “*****”>”
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “motoboot” filename= “motoboot” MD5= “*****”>”
“<step operation= “flash” partition= “motobp” filename= “motobp” MD5= “*****”>”
U maybe need to delete the following line also:
Code:
“<step operation= “getvar” var=”max-download-size”
U should be good to go!
Manually:
For manually flashing we need “mFastboot”. See GERNERAL (DEV) Tools for more information.
Download your firmware and extract it.
Now use the following commands in a command prompt. Make sure they are correctly spelled and return an “OKEY”!
Code:
[LIST]
[*]mfastboot flash boot boot_signed
[*]mfastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
[*]mfastboot flash system system_signed
[*]mfastboot erase cache
[*]mfastboot erase userdata
[/LIST]
I. FROM STOCK TO CUSTOM ROM
See threads that are mentioned above for more details.
Backup your important data from your phone to PC or elsewhere
Get ADB, Fastboot and your device drivers working
Unlock your bootloader with the above method
Install one of the recovery’s
Install a Rom and/or kernel from one of the threads in the Development section of the Razr I Board through custom recovery.
J. FROM CUSTOM ROM TO STOCK
See threads that are mentioned above for more details. If u want to relock too, have a look here (only for jellybean)
Backup your important data from your phone to PC or elsewhere
Get RSD-Lite working
Download the latest official android firmware for your device. (Always jellybean, unless u had ICS installed before the custom rom and to be on the safe side, never used a Jellybean version, then u can try ICS too)
Flash through RSD-Lite
Enormous post hazou! THank's a lot for all your work!

To flash a working logo image u need the bootloader (motoboot) from ICS. But if u flash the motoboot from ICS coming from a jellybean rom (is using the motoboot from jellybean) u will brick your device. (unless as stated, u have never bean on stock JB or installed the firmware from stock JB and u flashed from stock ICS to KTR-rom. So u have the stock ICS bootloader. But i think nobody in this world has that anymore.)
The bootloader and its necessary files may never be downgraded!! I will make a point in the guide to address your question.
So, to answer your question. No u can't!
OK , thanks hazou !
There is definitively no solutions to remove this shi...of bootscreen ....
hey, I wanted to flash the stock rom with the rsd tool and I got my phone bricked, green light flashing, no code error message. Is there any solution for that problem?
edit: ok, I made a stupid mistake by accidentally downloading the ICS stock rom instead of the JB... f**k

sometimes it was showing error while flashing
SOMETIMES it was flashed without error but system failed to reboot/bootloopedcredits:
@topjohnwu for magisk
I have tested this and is working fine in my xperia z3+ dual(E6533)...but m sure it will work with all models of z3+/z4.so try it & let others know it.
PREREQUISITES:
1.ur firmware/rom must be nougat 7.1. [please dont try on MM/LP]
2.USB DEBUGGING AND INSTALLATION OF UNKNOWN SOURCE MUST B ENABLED.
2.FIRMWARE should be un-rooted[ if u have installed supersu/tried magisk earlier/failed/erronous attempt of installing magisk.........then use unsu.zip /magisk uninstaller before proceeding]
3.the boot image(new_kernel) over which magisk will be installed is stock nougat 7.1.1 so this method will work in any rom which can be booted via stock boot image.eg.it will work on m-rom and stock (m sure of it)
4.twrp must be installed
5.basic knowledge of fastboot commands for flashing kernel
lets start....
1.in twrp first of all clean any traces of supersu/failed magisk installation by flashing "unsu.zip or magisk uninstaller"
2.power off ur device and then flash the "new_kernel.img via fastboot....use these commands
a.imp to check whether the kernel will boot in ur device or not (if this step shows any error,plz dont proceed to b.
in cmd window : fastboot boot new_kernel.img
b.to flash the kernel
in cmd window :fastboot flash boot new_kernel.img
IMP:steps 1 & 2 are can also be used when u have met with an unexpected bootloop/restart problem at any time( if u don't want to flash the complete stock ftf,this boot image will help u in letting ur device come out of bootloop.
3.proceeding to our main thread....now boot into recovery & flash "magisk.zip"
4.wipe cache & dalvik.and reboot.
PROPERTIES OF THE KERNEL (new_kernel.img:---
Build 32.4.A.1.54
1. Sony RIC- disabled.
2. DM-Verity- disabled.
3. TWRP- disabled.
4. DRM Fix- enabled.
5. Superuser / root- Not present. ( flash magisk its better)
6. Busybox- Not present
7.many more tweaks to reduce heat & increase battery backup

u can try flashing magisk over stock.but whenever i did that my device used to go into bootloop.thats why i've to experiment with different twrps,kernels to detect the culprit.
finally i got this awesome kernel which helped me to come out of bootloops everytime.so i will suggest to use this [near to stock ] kernel .
but u can try flashing magisk over stock.....if anything goes wrong ,,,just flash the new_kernel,,and ua fine to go with magisk.
Thnx. I will try & let u know.
thank u sirThis kernel help me from bootloop .how did u make this kernel

i didn't make it buddy....i tried kernels from stock /m-rom /kryptonian /LOS & one i found in generall section .its one of them .....i don't know exactly which one is it.but with this one i was able to boot evertime

creating a separate thread isn't a good idea ,i'll update the details of the kernel in this thread itself,plz give me some time.
Kernel properties added.
Wait... Installing Magisk caused a bootloop for you? Never happened to me tho.

i got frequent bootloops on installing it over stock kernel and also over m-rom .i think the kernel was the culprit.
Recently I unlocked the bootloader of my Z4 single sim (E6553), but I accidentally lost the TA partition backup. Now I have LOS 14.1 but it's not good at all, I want to return to the stock firmware.
I read here that this kernel have the "DRM Fix- enabled." , what means? If I flash this kernel I can use again every features like BionZ, Bravia Engine, etc ?

Hopefully yes,flash it as instructed.best of luck:good:
Anyone tested if the Kernel is "DRM FiX ready"? Im planning to root my Z3+ (E6533) without backing up my TA, but if this Kernel is equipped with DRM Fix I would go with this one.

confirmed!! this kernel is the ****!.. try it... (don't blame me if you brick your device)
The link to download the kernel won't work anymore, is there a mirror?
