When I got my XZ i waited for a while to root and unlock it. Eventually I got it to root and to unlock the bootloader both, I flashed DooMLorD's ''CF-Auto-Root Kernel,'' and was on Firmware Version: 10.1.A.1.350. I have an 6603. After that i flashed Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img.
Later on I used his own Created CWM and got to flash it onto my phone while using fastboot.
I've been using that for a while and last night I thought, lets flash over Carbonrom, I just did what stood there, wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset, Had
both my zips in the SD, installed zip from SD, it was succesful, then I rebooted, It booted, but stuck in the Carbonrom screen.
What do I need to do?
xperia z stuck in bootloop
It's not a bootloop, It froze, and did nothing, i had it run down the batt,

Well if that's all it's doing and you can't get any further you need to reflash.

Restart from scratch.
DoomLord's kernel not compatible for AOSP/CM10.1/AOKP based roms:
[ requirements ]
Xperia Z [C6603/C6602]
stock JellyBean FW
.350 - v1, v2
.434 - v3, v4, v5, v6
.253 - v7
Since you already unlocked, try to flash the using the instructions from the ROM you going to. Since you are not able to start up the ROM, suggest you follow the steps with PAC ROM:
Install instructions:
If you come from another rom, extract the boot.img from the package.
put boot.img in your fastboot directory.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Enter TWRP recovery.
If you come from another rom, Do a factory reset. Full wipe
If you come from other version, just format cache and dalvik cache.
Flash zip + gapps (gapps only need to be flashed if you come from another rom)
Or you can to flash to stock ROM, root and install recovery and try again.

I tried rooting my Sony V, but its ended up in disaster where the phone doesnt boot past sony xperia part and just loops.
I tried to root it via this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090319&page=2
Through" Gasai Yuno" step by step instructions. I have tried to originally flash my phone using the"TRIMMED-LT25i-SOL21_9.0.F.0.195.ftf or the original LT25i-SOL21_9.0.F.0.195.ftf " but it turned out a disaster.
I managed to get the bootlocker unlocked but even that seem to have re-setted everything on my phone to default and deleted everything on my phone.
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
All I wanted to do was load this ROM.

Those instructions are for Android 4.0.4-based firmware. Obviously the phone will bootloop if you flash 4.0.4 over 4.1.2.
Use Flashtool to flash it to a proper 4.1.2-based firmware and get root using Binary's scripts.
You could also flash a custom root-enabled kernel using fastboot if you unlocked the bootloader.

Unlocking the booloader always resets all data, it's normal.
thanks guys really appreciate the help!
Any chance you can guide me in the right direction to a 4.1.2 based firmware?

Just for Information... Most flashable ROM zips do wipe the system partition before the actual install begins - as a result, your recovery (which is for locked bootloaders and thus stored on system partition) is also gone. Which means that on reboot neither rom nor recovery is present to be booted in.
So in the case of a broken rom zip or errors in CWM, it is important to either flash another (working) rom zip and the CWM-self-installer zip directly afterwards or restore a (hopefully) previously done nandroid backup.
Otherwise, you'll need your pc to setup your phone again ^^

I unlocked my ZR's bootloader and tried installing these roms:
Carbon Rom
Beanstalk
LiquidSmooth
But after installing any of these, my phone wont boot completely.
It goes past the SONY screen and loads the animation of the rom that i flashed, the animation still goes on - it is not stuck.
This goes on for like half an hour and still does not go any further.
I will explain the steps i followed.
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. flashed the boot.img of the corresponding rom
3. booted to recovery -- vol up
4. Wipe data/ fac reset
5. wipe cache partition and Dalvik
6. installed the rom and rebooted
Is there anything else i am missing here ?

You have to boot the stock firmware first.
Flash a stock rom
Boot it properly
Turn off the phone
Flash the custom rom kernel using fastboot
Do your wipes
Install the custom rom zip
The phone should boot properly now

I flashed a .310 rom first and rooted it.
then unlocked my bootloader -- i got a bootloop

flash .310 again then flash a custom kernel and the send me screenies of about phone
I flashed .310 and flashed the kernel of "beanstalk" rom and flashed "beanstalk" rom without wiping anything.
the device booted completely with no issues.
I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!
I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool
k so this is what happened i hve a sony xperia z1 c6902 that is on 14.4.A.0.108 rooted through this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/stock-update-to-14-4-0-108-t2802266
i hve an unlocked bootloader
after that i tried installing a rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-aicp-5-0-kk-4-4-4r2-unofficial-t2819206
so as the thread mentioned in its instructions
How to flash:
ROM has GAPPS, custom dpi & xposed persistance in between dirty flashes
Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.4.2 Sony based ROM and NOT on 4.3 (or older) Sony based ROM
Download the latest build
Download Gapps
Take a nandroid backup
Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset
Flash ROM using any recovery
Flash Gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy!
since i did the full wipe using TWRP by check marking everything under advance wipe ive been stuck at the sony logo
i tried re-flashing the C6902_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf file through flashtool by connecting the device in flashmode (volume down + power) flash tool seems to do it fine i'll attach a screenshot below but im still stuck at the sony logo
i cannot access my TWRP or CWM recovery as when i press the vol down button nothing happens
please help me and i'll be eternally grateful
Thank You all!
That rom requires an unlocked bootloader. Have you unlocked the bootloader? I bet not.
Did you notice in the instructions of flashing that rom that you should take a nandroid backup?
OK then, flash a stock FTF, re-root and install recovery and then restore your backup.
If you did not take a backup, you just need to flash a stock FTF, re-root, install the ROM of your choice and set it back up again

I had problem with update to 14.4.A.0.108 by NUT, with flashing ftf - when done as should be: connect when asked, flashtool threw error and had no imei and no cell radio. Then I done like so: start flashtool, conneted phone in flashmode, then hit lighting button and started flashing process - no error.
So in my case I hed to do oppsite for what you say, don't know if this is 0.9.16.1 issue or anything else but it worked for me.
Hi guys, i need your help..
I was tried to install a custom ROM and i use CWM v6 to install it (i'm on stock ROM | JB 4.3 | FW .205 | locked bootloader | recovery installed : CWM & TWRP), first step i format the /system and is successfull, then the next step wipe data/factory reset but i get stuck process on:
--- wiping data ---
clear /data done.
clear /cache...........
I don't know why, but i've been waiting for 20 minutes and still stuck like that than i decides to turning off the phone with tiny button at bottom of battery (not power button), i turn on the phone again and then i've got bootlop ( what.... where is my recovery ) i didn't noticed the recovery still in there because there is no LED notify when i turn on the phone, just SONY logo :crying:
Is that happen because wiping data didn't completed and causing my recovery also gone ?
So what should i do ? can i get the phone back again ? I have the stock ROM backup on my sd card and on my laptop because before i try to install a custom ROM, i've created current ROM backup with CWM.
please help me guys..

You wiped /system so your recoveries are gone.
On older Recoveries using the wipe to install new rom can take ages so just leave it and eventually it will finish, latest version of Philz (in Bagyusz/Nexus ROMs) seems to fix this issue.
Use DSSMEX triple recovery and use philz not cwm as its a much nicer recovery (but the clean still takes ages as its an older version)
Use flashtool to flash stock rom and start from scratch to re-install custom rom.

You have bootloop because your phone is essentially empty of any OS or recoveries.
Flashtool to stock, find dssmex triple recovery and install that in stock when rooted, load into Philz, clean to install a new ROM and then just wait, it will take a while usually dont worry unless it takes over an hour.
Then flash the custom ROM of choice.

Can I know what Custom ROM are you trying to install?
Sometimes wiping could take time, and I am not sure why. If happens again in the future, just let it be.
As you are using LBL, I am unable to elaborate nor understand how recovery has gone. (WARNING: FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Recoveries for LBL are stored in the ramdisk OR the FOTAkernel. This is due to the fact that Xperia SP does not has an exclusive "recovery" partition in the rootfs. I dont know if wiping data would trash them.
You can easily recover your phone by flashing a stock ftf. You may follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56717587&postcount=4
