Just want a recovery for Kitkat Rom

Hi,
After updating my phone to Kitkat, i was trying to get a custom recovery and root. I have read few posts and i am confused. I see there are 2 options to keep the stock kernel, but to have a custom recovery. 1. Doom and second is Nut. I am unable to extract the boot file from Doom's kernel so cant flash it and for Nut's method i need a recovery.
So is there a way to get a custom recovery (stock kernel) and root for a unlocked z1 c6902 KK?

Flash doom stock advanced kernel, there is no need to extract anything.
Download it and flash in fastboot.

Just download doomlords latest kernel and install using latest flashtool 9.15 I think. Flash in fastboot mode no need for typing and risking a chance of typing something wrong.

As per instrucion in that page, you need to flash his kernel via recovery (i dont have one yet). Or you need to extract the boot.img and flash which i want to do but cant do as i am unable to extract the file.
Edit- Just saw gregbradley's reply in doom's post. it worked.

Hi Ravi
Yes, the file you link is correct.
to install the img,
try this, it worked for me.
If you have flashtool (9.15) recommended. Place the img file inside the folder called Flashtool\x10flasher_lib.
In my case I renamed it to boot.img (not sure if it would work without renaming, didn't want to take that risk)
then, go into command prompt. Change to the folder mentioned above. example: cd "c:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"
turn off your phone and disconnect USB.
type the following and press enter.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
which will then say < waiting for device >
at this stage, hold the volume up, and connect the USB cable. This will boot your phone is fastboot mode and will allow fastboot to flash the boot image you indicate above.
when it says finished. you're done. Just disconnect the USB cable and boot your phone.
Hope this helps.

Yup, this file worked for me, instead of flash tool i used adb. I think the confusion is because the post by doom asks us to flash it using recovery or extract just the boot file. I think he needs to update the post as you just have to flash this via flashtool or adb.

They are two ways of flashing a the kernal. the latest one can only be installed using flashtool or fastboot unless you replace the boot.img in the zip folder for "Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v01 (FW:14.2.A.1.136) {RECOVERY FLASHABLE}".
Since you dont have a recovery i recommend you use flashtool(latest one) (fastboot might be a headache since install deals with driver if you habe windows and android sdk).
To do this you need to:
1.Open flashtool
2.Turn phone off then go to fastboot mode (connect usb while phone is off and holding volume up button BLUE LED should show once connected)
3. Click on lightning icon
4.Select "Fastboot mode"
5. click "select kernal to flash"
6. locate the .img image you downloaded (you might have to change the selection thing on the bottom from *.sin to *.img)
7. Click and it will auto install.

By adb do you mean using the fast boot command... Well that what he means by flashing worth fast boot....

These drivers are for unlocked bootloaders have you unlocked your xt or tried to install a custom kernel. just a thought as there is as thread on the forum regarding a device thinking it is anther device and will not accept installation any stock ftf..

if you mean flashing it through fastboot, i did it and says you must have a rooted device and fails. usually custom kernels are in .zip , but to flash a kernel it must have a .elf or .sin or .img format..how can i flash them?

If you get that error with flashool than I'm not sure that bootloader is properly unlocked. DoomKernel is a flashable zip, bit inside the zip you have kernel.elf.

so if it says me your device must be rooted, the bootloader isnt unlocked? how can i check that it is really unlocked? because i unlocked it with flashtool while it was bricked, but flashtool said me it was successfully unlocked

A bricked Z1 with an unlocked bootloader

So I got my Z1 yesterday, was on 4.4.2 stock unrooted. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's official website and fastboot, then I went on destroying the phone by flashing Philz touch recovery.img through fastboot.
And since then the phone has been bricked, I can only enter Fastboot through the blue led, while Flash mode doesn't show up any LED light and my PC sees the phone when on flashmode as n "S1 device with a parameter error".
I've tried all drivers, none worked, and the flashtool keeps suggesting I should update my drivers when connecting the phone on flash mode:
02/042/2014 22:42:11 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

Is there any way I can recover from this through fastboot instead of the flashtool? I can still flash system.img and recovery.img through fastboot. I'd really appreciate any help right now.

Xperia phones do not have a recovery partition to flash recovery to via fastboot.
If you can enter fastboot, then flash a stock kernel.elf with flashtool (In fastboot mode).
Then you can use flashtool to relock your boot (I imagine you have not even taken a TA backup and you are new to xperia devices, your post suggests so)
then you should be able to use pccompanion to repair, or flashtool to flash a FTF
However, by flashing a recovery image you may have bricked the phone. try what I have said, if it does not work get back in touch. (Do you have access to jtag and setool?)

Can you link me to the files you suggested I try? There seems to be a truckload of them laying around the forum.
Also, yes, I am new to xperia phones. Didnt think they were this complicated to flash but I shouldnt have played with fastboot anyway. And no, sadly I dont have a jtag. Never needed one before.
Thanks for the help btw, I greatly appreciate this.

i dont think you have 100% installed the drivers, on windows 7 upwards you need to disable driver signature to allow any unsigned drivers to be installed

C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Global 1277-2880.ftf
Is this 4.4.2?

Ok here is an update; after messing with fastboot for so long and a couple of kernel flashes, I managed to boot the phone But now its stuck on the Sony logo.
A sign of hope though lies with the fact that I managed to enter recovery mode and found CWM hanging there. So now Im probably going to try ADB push a rom file to the SD and try to flash it through recovery instead.
@gregbradley

Sounds good. The reason forth hang at the sony logo will be that you have wiped the system partition. Flashing a rom based on the kernel you have will enable the phone to boot

Would flashing a custom rom zip from the CWM recovery, fix the bootloop? Or could it also be a baseband/firmware issue too?
Im not really familiar with Sony's bootloader unlock process, does it allow kernel flash from recovery or only through fastboot ala Htc style?

second is
if u can access to rom instal ndr utility and reboot in clockwork mod recovery...
third option si to install via fastboot advanced doomloader kernel which has clockwork mod and has root... after that to flash custom rom but stock version of custom rom

Any of you guys know of a Stock rooted 4.4.4 rom that comes with the stock kernel in a flashable zip? I have looked everywhere for one but I cant find any.

What if u flash with fastboot the pds partition? And what is exactly the error u get?
If that doesn't work just flash with rsd-lite (latest) and your firmware (latest) and recover it. From then on u can try again.

See my signature
I assume you have a working adb and fastboot, otherwise u couldn't have installed the recovery.
Your firmware can be found under section E.
When you have downloaded your fimware (always 4.1.2). Extract it and flash the pds_signed or pds.bin. Something with pds.
This can be done by moving the pds* to the directory with the fastboot executable. Then boot into ap fastboot mode and check if your device is recognized by using "fastboot devices". If yes, do the following command to flash the pds partition "fastboot flash pds (pds-file)"
If it doesn't work, post the results. Not only that is says an error, but post the error string.

I looked a bit further into your problem, u may have this problem: this
So what we now are going to do is the following.
First can u enter recovery? and if i can, do u have a nandroid backup. If yes, restore it and just boot up the phone.
If u don't have the above. (all can be found with a bit of searching in the link in my signature)
1. Install RSD-Lite 6.1.x
2. Install the USB drivers for the phone
3. U already downloaded the right firmware (latest and the one from your region)
4. Boot in AP Fastboot and connect phone to USB port PC
5. In RSD-Lite u won't see your device. It doesn't have a system installed.
6. In RSD-Lite search in the above bar for the firmware zip file.
7. Click on flash or something. (there is a RSD-Lite tutorial in my signature in my post)
8. See what happens
9. Report back

Are you sure you installed drivers? RSD Lite should show Fastboot smi S as connected.
If you have installed drivers, and nothing is being detected, then you might want to prepare for several hours of headaches and lots of swearing.
You might have a chance doing this:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. If you can get CWM or TWRP working, you might have a chance to flash a zip.
i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Since your PDS is damaged, Omar's MotoJB ROM will probably not work, so you will need to flash a clean, stock ROM.
The only stock ROMs I've found (that can be flashed with custom recovery) are:
deodexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
odexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
Note that going back to ICS using this zip file will not brick your device (at least it didn't for my phone) unless you do it with RSD Lite.
But please don't hold me responsible if it makes things worse for you.
If you manage to flash this and it works, you can then try the PDS fix.
Good luck... :good:

Sorry, forgot to set it to public, should be fixed now.

so now i have to flash the boot.img or what? i'm not really sure what to do with this zip

You need to flash custom recovery and then you can install a zip.
Here is a tutorial on how to use recovery, if you're unsure.

It's easy all you have to do is reflash your software using flashtool by Androxyde
Download the flashtool
Search for ftf file for your country or global
ftf file: it's software file created by flashtool to flash sony software
After download and install flashtool go to
Your_Windows_Partition:\\flashtool\drivers
And install drivers for your device ,flashmode and fastboot mode
Note: if you have win 8 or higher you need to disable signture virification to install drivers
Then open flashtool and click on lighting button and press flashmode then select the folder of your ftf and flash
Note: before flash there is list called exclude check TA in this list then flash
Wait for flashtool to prepare files then after popup message put your phone in flashmode
Flashmode: connect USB with vol down pressed and wait for flash
Be aware cause flashing software wipe internal memory
Note: you mentioned that you have unlocked bootloader
You can download any custom rom like Cyanogenmod and put on sdcard and install using TWRP
hit thanks if helped
