Hi,
My friend has an Xperia L with cyanognemod 11 running on it. Tried to flash resurrection remix ROM and ended up bad. These are the steps I followed:
1. cwrp recovery was already installed and bootloader was already unlocked.
2. I copied the resurrection remix zip file into sd card
3. Went to recovery, wiped cache partition. (Did not do a factory reset. My mistake).
4. Installed the zip
5. Installed the WRONG version of Gapps. Installed gapps for 4.4 instead of 5.1.
6. Device successfully booted to resurrection remix. However, the wallpaper and apps that were already there is still there! It was like I upgraded the phone to lolippop. However, it is not possible to use the phone because com.android.phone keeps crashing and everything is very sluggish. I was hoping for a fresh install.
7. Now the problem - I can't access the bootloader. If I do adb reboot bootloader or select bootloader from recovery, it just gives me a blue charging light and that's it. But I can access recovery and boot to os still. Also, cwrp recovery is now replaced by cyangenmod recovery and I can't factory reset/wipe cache from it. It fails with 'cannot load volume /misc' when I try to flash the same ROM again.
8. I can't even do a factory reset after booting into resurection remix. I press 'reset factory settings' and nothing happens.
So any ideas? The really bad thing is that I can't access the bootloader and hence cannot use fastboot.
