Ive tried. also tried flashing kernels, flashing stock roms from recovery but all get to the same screen

Reflash the JB ftf, install CWM for JB and do factory reset there.

ive tried, but the phone goes into a bootloop ending at the exclamation mark screen everytime i plug it to the computer in flash mode. only time it works is in fastboot mode where i tried to flash different kernels to no avail.

Try formating system in CWM and install some rom in zip. Is it possible to mount system, data, cache, etc. in recovery?

Flash a recovery, backup your internal and external sdcards, format them, flash Rom, boot your phone at least one completely, restore your sdcards and done

thanks everyone for responding. I've managed to flash cm10.1 on my phone and boot it after wiping everything. However after that when i try to go back to stock/stock based roms i boot into that screen again. Any ideas why? Luckily cm10.1 is stable enough for daily use.

You just need to let it do it it's thing, when I flashed jb, I had to leave it over night on the triangle...

[Q] Stuck infintie boot loop of Teamwin

Hello in need of some serious help my xperia z was rooted but with locked bootloader i tried to flash a app thru Teamwin it sent me into a boot loop so now all the phone does is flash team win then turn off and on it has a solid purple light any help will be appreciated and i will make a donation thru paypal for anyone that can help!!

Seems can be fixed very easy:
Either fire up PCC and choose repair phone.
Else download Flashtool, disable force driver signing and install the following drivers from Flashtool:
- Xperia Z
- Fastboot
- Flash mode
Then download a ftf with stock firmware, and Flash it using Flashtool.
Et voilá, your phone is back with the livings.
If you can't find a ftf, just ask me, i'll upload mine tomorrow.

While phone is in usb bootloader mode, type in cmd "fastboot erase Cache" and it should return to normal.
Btw: have you flashed anything that would make this happen? Like kernal or mods?

I ended up doing it thru Sony companion didn't want to but the flash tool would get stuck on installing and never prompt for flash mode im rooted again but woth the locked bootloader as I dont want to lose bravia this all happened because I tried to install a sound mod that sent the device into a boot loop and when I tried to restore in teamwin thats when things got worse and phone would power on and then off

Read the op on how to install whatever mod you want to flash and make sure it's a flashable zip through recovery. The sound mod might have done it if you didn't install it right. I don't think you need a flash tool to flash the mod and you could have done it through your phone's recovery.

Help. My device is stuck on boot animation - cwm and twrp will not load

The title says it all.
I went ahead and tried to install Paranoid android RC2, I flash it then subsequently the GApps using TWRP. Now, the device is stuck forever in the boot animation and neither TWRP or CWM (installed with DualZRecovery) will work.
Is there any way by which I can somehow revert what has happened here? This has never happened to me before.
Needless to say if I can avoid having a $400 paperweight, I have sworn to never risk custom roms on my main phone again.

Just flash some kernel with recovery and restore your backup. If you don't have backup, download some of stock or custom roms and flash via Flashtool or recovery......or just use search function

As I said, the main problem is that for some ungodly reason CWM is not working despite the fact that it is what i used to flash PA into the phone in the first place. I have never had a case where CWM itself failed. I need to be in Fastboot mode for flashtool right?
Well the phone wont even go into recovery so im not sure how to get it into fastboot.

1. Download some of newest stock ftf and put it to firmware folder in Flashtool
2. Start Flashtool, press flash btn and pick stock rom
3. Press vol- and connect usb simultaneously and wait about 3 min.
That's it.
Your phone is brand new stock :good:

I think it was because I forgot to wipe the dalvik cache after installation of the ROM - although why CWM itself stopped working I have no clue.

How did u unlock your bootloader? Flashing aosp base rom require u to unlocked your bootloader first bcos of the custom kernel..if u unlocked your bootloader, did u fastboot flash boot.img?

[Q] [Help] bootloop with no recovery

I tried to flash the new Kitkat ROM on my stock-rooted ROM but flashed it wrong (as my bootload is not unlocked as needed).
Now I'm stuck on bootloop when I see the new ROM's logo showing up for few seconds but reboot imediately..
My recovery is also gone.. I can't access it.. (I have my backup there, I only need to reach it)
I tried to use flashtool and adb but I can't control them..
How can I flash CWM recovery through any of them?
Please provide link and explain I'm freaking out here..
Thanks!

Use fastboot to flash... Just make sure your phone is in fastboot/flash mode first

If your on locked boot loader then you have to do a ftf/flash tool restore

Wait...
What you mean by that "sony logo has disappeared"?
Have you unlocked bootloader and flash new kernel maybe?

This does not make sense.
Please tell us if you had installed a recovery, which one and if you have unlocked the bootloader

right bascially before the cyanogen mod boot sequence there used to be a stock sony one before it, now there is just a black screen then cyanogenmod one then the phone boots up fine but the if i try and boot into recovery it wont work and it just boots up the phone normally again, and yes unlocked boot loader and i have phillz clockwork mod recovery installed

If you have CM installed then the recovery is in the kernel, so you should still be able to get into it
Try using fastboot to flash just the kernel again
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Looks to me like android quick boot is enabled.

Is that even available on CM and if so, how would you disable it?
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. I tried flashing a lot of boot.imgs via fastboot, but none of them seem to be working. The LED goes orange but the screen stays blank.

What ROM are you running?
Which kernels did you flash?

I don't know about the OP, but I am running CM11 from CyanogenMod.org and I have flashed their boot.img (which contains the kernel, for as far as I understand).

Look in developer options under root access to see if quick boot is enabled

There appears to be no such setting there.

I ended up using FlashTool to flash the official firmware, flashed DoomLord's recovery from there and rooted from that recovery. No more CM11 for me as it's just trouble. The lastest official firmware has more features than when this phone launched, so more than happy with this working setup!

I have a similar problem. I have installed cwm recovery and I checked that it is installed from the Rom manager app. I have stock firmware 4.4.4 . When I try to boot into recovery mode my phone boots as normal with the sony logo and then the xperia logo. I have tried many things,apps to boot it into recovery mode but it boots into normal mode. I want to install cyanogenmod. I tried to install it through rom manager but at boot it boots normally. What could be the reason?

How did you install cmw?
If you want to install cm, then fastboot the kernel from the update.zip then enter recovery and flash the update.zip

I installed it through one of the tutorials here on xda. It was dual recovery. When I check in rom manager it says cwm and twrp installed. The problem is entering into recovery. I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing the volume button, by using recovery boot option in rom manager but nothing seems to work. I have cwm and twrp installed.
I just want to boot into recovery mode.

Do you get the double vibration when you boot up?
If so keep pressing and letting go and pressing again the volume + button when the double vibration happens

Yes, I get the double vibration when the phone boots. I tried what you said ,it just vibrates and boots as normal. Isn't there some log or some info I can provide you to see what's messed up. I tried to repair my phone through sony companion but it says that your phone software is modified so can't go further.
I want to go into recovery mode so I can install cyanogen mod on my z1. I have rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed dual recovery but can't go into recovery mode.

Can you post the guide for me which you used to flash the phone?

Flash the boot.img from the update.zip for CM using fastboot. Then enter recovery and flash the update.zip
