basic ways to resolve boot loop stuck phones

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.

Help me,, Cannot boot in to recovery

Please help needed!!
I'm stuck here for 3 days
Ok I'm going to tell everything I did,,
My Gionee E7 is indian version.
First I rooted my phone with kingo Root.
Than I flashed CWM chinese version.
I upgraded my system to kitkat and changed the recovery to stock.
I used it for a week than some how my music player and gallery were corrupted.
I don't have any rom so I download one but it was in chinese, flashed it to my gionee. than after rooting,,
I flashed the CWM, same I flashed weeks ago
Here my problem started :crying:
The CWM is not starting. I used recoery tool to boot into recovery after boot up it shows black screen. I used every method holding Vol+ and power button but the same result.
than I tired to get back to my stock recovery but it does the same.
flashed many times both recoveries but didn't worked.
I searched a lot and find a TWRP. I flashed it and wow it worked Finally I can boot into recoery mode.
Now I find the Nandroid backup of indian version. I made it a zip and flashed it through twrp.
My phone is back to indian version but its slow, not too much but its slow; camera, gallery and other apps take some time to open. I can't make or rcv phone calls. Now what i did is download the update form System update.
Now i got kitkat rom.zip but twrp failed to install it.
Some one on the internet was saying that its the problem with my Kernel. I have the latest kernel so CWM won't work cuz it uses old kernel and display drivers.
My
android version is 4.2.2
Kernel version is 3.4.0-svn2155
I also got TWRP for lolipop,
and I patched binary_update in my kitkat rom too but TWRP can't flash it
Thats my whooooolllleeeee story. "
I got stuck with this for almost 3 days now I'm damn tired can't do it anymore plz help :crying::crying::crying:

Hello my friend, please help me.
I am trying to flash stock inidan rom 4.2 but.. I installed all CWM for E7 found on the internet and I am getting black screen. I managed to Install TWRP but TWRP cannot flash the rom that I need to flash. I flashed a chinese 4.2 but is piece of garbage..
gngc-download-tool said that the com port is closed.
I have windows 64 is this the problem causing gngc not working?

No its not, it is working on 64bit windows very well.
In TWRP factory reset and format system and data, than install
Chinese 4.2 ROM. After that boot it and try it again.
It should work!

Help
I just rooted my gionee elife e7. Flashed the chinese recovery which seemed to be the only one which would be compatible. But, while changing a few setting using pimp my rom, the software just stopped working. Errors keep showing up on the screen - "system.ui is not working", "android app is not working", I cannot even go the settings because "settings is not working". Third party apps still seem to work, so, whatsap and stuff continue to function. Doing a factory reset or flashing firmware again seem to be the only viable option.
But, when I try to load up the bootloader using the power and volume keys, it gets stuck on the screen showing the gionee logo and it reads 'fastboot mode' in the bottom left hand side corner. So,
a. can you offer any advice which may be useful ?
b. can you share the link from where you got a TWRP recovery which will work on the Elife ?
c. do you have any idea what exactly went wrong here ?
Any help you can provide will be appreciated because, it's my mausi's phone and I will have a very tough time explaining what really went down here.
Regards,

Can't download/copy a rom on my phone

Hi guys, been a while since I haven't posted but I just got a new note 4 so of course I wanted to root it, custom roms and everything.
It works like a charm but I just can't copy a custom rom on it from my computer. So i tried to download it directly on my phone which seems to work but when I flash it I have an error, the same as when I try to flash it with a rom from my computer.
When I try to copy a rom, the copy doesn't process to the end. It stopped and I don't know why. I tried to copy music, movies and it worked perfectly I could read all the files without problem. It's like if the note 4 know it's a rom and doesn't want it ^^
So could it be a problem from the phone ? The recovery (I'll try to install a new one) ? Or something that I'm not aware of. I tried to look for a thread with my problem but couldn't find any...
This is the error message I get when I try to flash a rom : " Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/NameOfTheRom.zip' "
Edit : I have a note 4 snapdragon SM-N910F
Edit 2 : I installed CWM recovery to try and install the rom I wanted and I have an interresting message : "This package is for device: trltexx,trltedt ; This device is trlte"
Does it mean I can't install any aosp rom because they are not made for my phone ? I didn't even know they were two types of snapdragon note 4. But since my note is a snapdragon every rom on the thread should work ?
Final edit ! Thanks to the error message I got from cwm recovery I finally found out what was the problem... And I flashed the wrong recovery ! So if anyone can't flash a rom just intall the right recovery ^^
The recovery that you can find here : https://dl.twrp.me/trltexx/ Just flash it via odin and you're good to go.

Hi there, good to see you.
After struggling to find any helpful information about rooting ZTE Blade A2 plus, I finally was able to root>soft brick>hard brick>stock flash>repeat this beautiful device. So thought to share it here so that it becomes helpful for someone in need.
Device Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...te-blade-a2-plus-5-5-fhd-mt6750t-3gb-t3480759
Prerequisite: Winrar Latest version, VCOM and device drivers (MT67xx), General intelligence to download the attachments and to arrange everything in order and you're good to go
Step 1: Install custom recovery (We'll install TWRP)
a} Download recovery and preloader
b} Download Scatter file
c} Download SP Flash tools
d} Only tick recovery and preloader and select the downloaded files and flash it
e} When the process finishes and SP flash tools displays done, remove the phone and press "Vol Up+Power" to boot into recovery. It may ask you to make /system writable if you want swipe as indicated
f} Done enjoy
Note: Take this opportuniy to first of all backup your stock rom using TWRP and save it elsewhere.
Step 2: Rooting (With Magisk Or Super SU)
a} Download Magisk or Super SU flashable zip as per your need
Note: Magisk gives most of the Super SU features and doesn't trips google security net so you are able to use banking apps while rooted with magisk
b} Place downloaded zip in your sd card
c} Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the said zip
d} Done enjoy
Step 3: Flashing stock rom (Only russian version as of now)-Language is english bloatwares are Russian
a} Download Stock Rom from https://yadi.sk/d/RZLBrKKv3LxejN
Note: It contains PC Flashable stock rom along with scatter files and NVRAM backups so it'll help if you lose IMEI during the process, it is advisable to keep this offline as backup in case links stops working.
b} Flash the downloaded stock rom with SP flash tools
Note: This stock rom doesn't support VOLTE so i advice you to first take a full backup of your initial rom after installing TWRP, also please share that backup here as well so as i could add it to this thread to make it helpful for someone who has already lost VOLTE inclusing me
Conclusion: I'll be very happy if this information proves useful to you in any manner and also request you to must share your backup for me to get VOLTE back.
Thank You

Is this an update to the Stock Rom?

hi, can u help me please, iam tryin to update with twrp , i did remove first line from script but i have error.

Found a way to unlock bands on MTK based phones by flashing basebands from phones with the same chipset. Doing this by using SPFLASH and flashing md1 files. Still unable to connect to cell network on my Doogee bl12000. Flashed this phones MD1, was wondering if anybody could provide me with the nvdata and nvram from the ZTE blase a2 plus. Hoping by flashing those files can connect to a U.S. network.
