Xperia SP bootloop

Hello everyone,
I need help with my Xperia SP as now it go into bootloop ( only showing Sony logo and reboot) continuously. I have unlocked the bootloader, I also flashed the auto-root kernel from Rachit, everything worked fine. After that, I tried to tweak the phone by playing with some line in build.prop then after that system gone into bootloop.
I had tried to use adb to copied back the backup build.prop file into /system folder, then inside CWM run wipe davik cache and fix permission. The system still running into bootloop.
I also downloaded the stock firmware ( PCT) for Xperia SP from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267887, and flashed it to my phone using Flashtool but it hung and half way.
Any idea/help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

From what I know, fastboot cannot flash system.sin, must be system.img. What I did is extract system.sin from stock ftf, then use Sin editor from flashtool to dump it. After that I have system.ext4 file, I rename it to system.img and flash it through fastboot but got error file too large to send.

Bro I tried FT beta6
1. In Flash mode:
After connected the phone to PC, after around 1 minute it will auto "log" out from flash mode and boot to system as per normal, and I cannot flash the FTF in this mode.
2. After that I try to flash the system.sin only in Fastboot mode ( strange, the phone will not auto "log" out from this mode) but I got below error
INFO - (FastBootToolBoxJob.java:208) - Selected system (system.img or system.sin): C:\Flashtool\system.sin

Any idea how to fix this?
@ElunChen: I don't have SETool, could you kindly share? Thanks
Don't flash it in fastboot mode lol. It is usually used to only flash the kernel.The phone auto logging out from flashmode is mostly due to the lack of drivers. Try reinstalling the drivers.
DON'T USE FASTBOOT

Thanks bro, I think this must has something to do with flashing FTF using FlashTool 0.9.10.1 hung in halfway, somehow Flash mode is blocked in my phone at this moment. Right now I can only access CWM and Fastboot mode, since we can't do much in fastboot, can I try something in CWM, e.g. create a flashable update.zip to install ROM though CWM?

[Q] Please help, I cannot flash CWM.

I've rooted using D00MLord's method, fine. But no matter how I try, I cannot flash CWM. Can anybody talk me through it step by step please?

you need adb drivers, usb 2.0 port...uknown sources and usb debug must be enabled and you need to grant SU permissions when asked. After that you can enter CWM by pressing vol - button several times after you turn it on
I cannot get it on my phone, I've followed the instructions perfectly yet it won't flash in flash mode. Doesn't flash in fastboot like it suggests either. When I try to flash in fastboot it says I need to be rooted first. I am.

To install cwm you don't put phone-in flash mode.
You need phone switched on,connect phone to PC,run the bat file on PC,follow on screen prompts,grant root/su permission,reboot phone cwm installed.

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....

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.

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?

do u have any rom on it or u just have bootloop? i u can't access to rom, u need with flashtool to flash stock rom, when u do that u loose your root and lose your dualrecovery... u need to root it again and install dualrecovery
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.

It's in fastboot apparently, as Flashtool says so, device is recognized as PSDN:BX903JEHQV&ZLP. I click on Flashmode, but the .ftf file doesn't appear.

Please prepare the ftf file for your device first.

Tried like five different ftf files, they're in the firnwares folder of Flashtool, tho there are 3 subfolders as well, tried putting it in those as well, still not being recognized by Flashtool.
Flashtool says bootloader can't be unlocked in an official way, I'm able to access flash and fastboot mode.
Could it be cause of the locked bootloader that I am not able to flash a custom ROM? I saw a thread for a ROM that doesn't need an unlocked bootloader, but the link isn't valid anymore.
