Hello everyone, as you can guess i'm relatively new to XDA forums. I got myself a Xperia Z2 and aside from the other phones i own, this one doesn't boot into TWRP. I tried hardware buttons, adb, i re-flashed TWRP, tried different versions of it but nothing works. Whatever i do, the phone just restarts itself and no TWRP, nothing. Just the stock android. What am i supposed to do? I really have no idea since i never encountered something like this before. Please help.

This is no longer an issue. A replacement phone is being shipped. If there is a way that the moderators can delete this thread, thank you in advance.
Hi everyone,
I'm very new to this forum, and to doing anything root wise on a phone. Here's my situation:
I'm using a rooted LG P509 (Optimus T), and tried to install a theme meant for the Nexus One (kind of why I'm posting here for help). The theme used was obtained here, it's the Lucid theme. I tried to install the theme using the latest version of clockworkmod in the Android Market. Everything went well, or so it seems, and I was asked to reboot my phone. I allowed the phone to reboot and now it's stuck on the LG symbol. I've (1) taken the battery out, (2) placed it back into the phone, (3) pressed the home, volume down, and power keys at the same time to get to recovery mode, and that doesn't work.
I now know that themes meant for certain phones should be used for the intended device. At the time I figured because I used clockworkmod, that it would work despite the difference in hardware.
I'm wondering if there's a way to get my phone back to normal? Thank anyone in advanced for helping this noob.
---
I've also asked for help in the forum where the theme was obtained.
you need to flash a custom recovery via ADB or fastboot, then data wipe(factory reset) your phone and reflash whatever rom you were on. if maybe you can get a recovery or ADB working, then your phone will be fine. flashing a nexus one theme onto your Optimus T isnt one of the brightest ideas. i would never consider trying to flash a theme from another similar phone onto my nexus, let alone a completely different phone.
If you have questions about using adb, there's a couple of helpful stickies up, make sure you read everything, but its pretty straightforward. And as Simms said, bad idea trying to cross themes.
I'll read the threads on ADB. Thanks guys.
Were you using ROM Manager? Or flashing manually via flash_image? Otherwise I don't know what you mean by Clockworkmod in the Market.
I suspect your phone never even got as far as flashing the theme. If you tried to flash Clockworkmod recovery, that's enough to mess up your phone, because you probably flashed a version intended for completely different hardware.
Now that you've borked the recovery partition, you probably need to get it into some sort of "download mode" that can interface with LG's proprietary software for reflashing phones. This would all be best dealt with in the Optimus One (P500) forum.

Clockworkmod should have an icon of a black hat with an orange cog for a head.
I did attempt to flash a theme intended for different hardware.
The several computers I've gone on haven't recognized the phone, and my attempts to place any file on the SD card proved futile. Since the phone is under warranty, I called the store I purchased it from, and they're going to ship a replacement.
The icon you describe is the icon I see for ROM Manager. Clockworkmod itself is not an app you can download from the market but rather a partition you flash that has to be written for the exact hardware. Unless there's something you saw in your Market that I can't see in mine.
From within ROM Manager you can flash Clockworkmod. But if you flashed a version of Clockworkmod meant for other hardware, I'm willing to bet *that* mangled your phone, regardless of what you attempted to use it for..
Anyway, glad you're getting a replacement.

Interesting, LG will let you replace the phone even though you've clearly rooted it and caused the problems? Of all people, I'm surprised LG lets you do that. You've stated that it's under warranty but what you done should've voided the warranty. You sure they're okay with replacing your phone like that?
As of yesterday my phone stopped booting certain roms! Im rooted with all the latest twrp, vendor, bootloader, etc. I never encountered this problem and Ive been rooted since day one. I have several custom roms on my phone and only "Resurrection Rom" seems to boot without any problem all the other (Purenexus, benzorom, chroma, exdous) Roms get past the google screen and stay stuck in the boot up screen.. Am I missing something?? Ive checked everything I could. Ive downgraded twrp. Im stump any insight on this would be greatly appreciated..

check Kernel compatibility if you update internal rom
- reinstall kernel

Never figured anything out? I think im having this same issue with my 6p i tried flashing pure nexus, xTraFactory, and Stock+ but for me it just bootloops and once out of 20 attemps pure nexus will get to the colored logo then freeze and reboot. I long deleted Ressurrection Remix because it was my daily driver and already had a backup made. That went to sh*t though when my backup bootlooped as well so now i have a 6p i can only boot into recovery and bootloader. My laptop with fastboot installed needs a new charger so i use my moms computer to put zips on my phone but i really doubt she will let me install anything on it at all :/. I dont want to flash the factory image and bootloop still though when i get a charger. Ill see if I can boot back into rros fresh.

Well this is quite an old post to awaken but to be short and Frank I had to send my device in to have the motherboard replaced because the 6p still has hardware issues whether it's Huawei's (prolly spelled wrong.) fault or Google's, regardless I just got the motherboard replaced and sold the device immediately because I didn't want to have another paper weight in my hands I now have an essential phone and it is dare I say the most comfortable phone I've ever had. That being said I hope you can Rectify your issues here but you'll have to go through either Huawei or Google, and get one of the two to help you out with a replacement.
This kind of happened to me too. I just updated TWRP and all flash are fine now. Hope this will help someone

Solved it today it was because I tried restoring an old backup with an old version of twrp that has a fatal bug when you restore an EFS. I was truly relieved
Hi everyone...
I have an awkward issue here with my Nexus 4...
It is in an eternal loop in bootlogo 5.1.1
I already did anything I found in Google search
Flashed ALL firmwares stock, tried some Cyanogenmod and nothing!
I already used simple .bat/.sh in stock folder, used Nexus Toolkit with bricked/bootloop ticked, SkipSoft Tookit and even a tutorial saying to use LGNPST to flash a developer version... this last one worked... but like said in tutorial, the rom is encrypted and the user can do nothing! After that, flashed stock rom and still got stucked in logo!
I did not say, but yes.. I always run ALL wipes
I do not know what else I can do! The phone seems to work normally. I can entry,
download mode, fastboot, recovery but system..
Any ideas?
Thanks for now and sorry about english!
Are you flashing the userdata.img file?
yes and no!
The same result... =/
After flashing userdata.img in fastboot, are you going into recovery using the power and volume buttons to perform a factory wipe?
yes... I already did that too!
Today in the morning, I installed a developer version 4.2 through LGNPST... The phone worked, but it is a old version, I want the last one 5.1.1 and I got the problem that internal memory shows 8GB instead of 16GB...
And I could not resolv this, even reading tutorials from xda forum
If anyone could give me a BIN file of 5.1.1 to use in LGNPST...
no one???
I'm facing the exact same issue, here my post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/nexus-4-stuck-animation-android-t3419997
Did u solved it?
No man...
unfortunately I ditched the device!
I've installed Android 4.2.2 and block OTA updates rooting the device, the problem is internally in the device, maybe is a hardware problem, I already made a test of the sensors and none works, for know I'm gonna use it just for phone calls and wapp...
thanks for answer....
Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.
So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.
*Edit* I found stock rom for my phone here in the fórum, but it says i need to have stock recovery but i have the TWRP recovery. Is there any way that i can do it, with that recovery?
*Edit 2* In Erecovery, when i try to download it says "Getting package info failed"
First of all... Why don't you have a backup in TWRP? ALWAYS back up your stuff before doing ANYTHING in TWRP.
Second: there is an option for factory reset within the EMUI system itself. Absolutely no need to mess around in TWRP for something like that. Of course you can "factory reset" in TWRP but this can also wipe your system which then requires you to flash something.
To your problem:
Since I luckily was not forced to flash a stock firmware yet, some more information would be nice.
In which format does the firmware come (link to where you downloaded it)? TWRP can handle .zip files. So if it comes as a .zip file, you can try flashing it through TWRP (really depends on what you downloaded!)
If you only need stock recovery, try accessing TWRP with your phone plugged into a PC.
This way it normally fires up the stock eRecovery.
Hi, yeah, i should have done a backup, thank you for the advice. The firmware i used is this one www .stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-marshmallow-firmware-b100/ - i found it here, and a user used it to, not sure why, but he says that it worked.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, because i'm new to this. The TWRP boot, but i can't get my phone to get recognized by the huawei software, not sure if it need to. Even with the drivers installed, it only connects if the phone is on the menu.

Hmm maybe best way is to send the user that made it work a PM and maybe he can provide you a guide on how to do it.
And maybe he or you can then provide a guide here on how to do it.
This device is rather new and the forum is building up so there is a lot of work to do and a lot of things have to be worked around.
Hope you can fix it, like I said, I cannot really help you properly since I never had the problem and therefore do not really understand what's happening on your device.
hi, thank you for the reply. In fact i have solved the problem few minutes ago, and was thinking on do a quick fix tutorial or something like that. Because it's really fast, just need to do the right way.
I'm really happy for the help i got in this forum, all the threads are really intersting. Going to try help others with the same problem that i had. Thank You

Could you help me with this problem i have the same problem on Huawei l-21 ??
Always have a backup of your fresh system on TWRP. Then whatever happen just restore it whenever you think you messed up your device and you should be fine ALWAYS.
So, I've installed a custom rom for this phone so I could use it as my test phone but it ended with my sister. Some days ago my sister asked me to reinstall the stock rom so I was going to do it. I downloaded official stock of its model but I could not because the recovery wasn't recognizing it. I tried a lot searching for 7 days after the it but I couldn't find it. Yet today I tried it anyway with a z00l recovery (worst thing I made) and installed a z00l stock. I was happy cus I was thinking I finally found it but when it boot up it was like that boot logo mirrored, like if it wasn't on the correct resolution and was trying to fit the whole screen. After that I thought "Well, if I find the stock recovery and boot img and finally flash the stock, this will dissapear, right?" and now I'm here stuck with this dumb mistake I've made. Also, I was trying to install "UL-Z00T-WW-1 16 40 1524-user" but because of the wrong recovery it said it isn't Z00T, it was Z00L, so I installed "UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.1698-user" and it got like this. The whole thing is with this weird resolution bug. I'm really sorry if something is hard to understand, I don't know yet how to speak english so well.
worst case scenario, you should be able to access fastboot and install twrp.
just install the correct twrp and use this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/all-variants-restore-back-to-stock-firmware.3333482/

Ok, I'm sure I installed the correct twrp and firmware and it did work and boot up but the screen is still on that weird way. I also noticed that brightness and the home, recents and back buttons aren't working TwT.
this guy had the same problem and now its fixed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/solved-ze601kl-need-help-to-find-stock-recovery.4254519/
