[Q]Solved Regaining cwm/root/unlocked BL after soft brick - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I can't seem to get back root after a softbrick, also i had my bootloader unlocked but the unlock seems to be gone?
Okay how it all started was when I tried to flash the 4.2.2 leak in CWM. I flashed it and everything seemed normal then when I left CWM for a reboot, nothing happened. the screen was black and the phone would vibrate when pressing the power button.
Being the newbie that I am I panicked and found a stock .253 ftf file which i flashed. the phone is now working again.
Now seeing as I don't give up that easily I figured i'd try to install 4.2.2 again but something has changed now seeing as I seem to have:
No recovery A proper recovery has been installed.
No root Root has been reclaimed
No unlocked BL? Bootloader is unlocked again
I can't root using flashtool as it wont get past - Waiting for uevent_helper rw
I've looked at alot of places on the forum but I don't know where to start really and I'm scared of a hardbrick now.
Can anyone help me out? :angel:
So it has been solved turns out it was indeed pretty simple.
the way I did it was:
Bootloader:
open flashtool, unlock bootloader again. (the code will appear)
Root
(as I was on .253 I had to flash .307 kernel & system via fastboot first)
I then followed the "easy rooting toolkit by doomlord" mentioned in this topic
CWM
I then flashed doomkernel v8 to regain CWM. (fastboot the boot.img)
Thanks for the help michealtbh :victory:

Bootloader is unlocked again, still no root via the service menu display option though.

Use fastboot to flash doomkernel, then boot into recovery and flash a superuser.zip
Or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472

HELP!

you can't flash any recovery because your bootloader is locked, unlock it again to be able to flash them again

[Q] Problem unlock bootloader and root sony xperia t

Before i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone without problem, when the update 4.3 was arriving i decided to relock the bootloader and flash a jelly bean firmware for update it by pc companion. Now i decided to unlock again to install omnirom, i flashed 4.1.2 firmware and then i tried to unlock bootlader but when the process is finished and i turned on the phone it doesn't boot, the animation is blocked and the phone will restart. So i flashed again 4.1.2 firmware, it turned on and in the service info --> configuration the phone said that the bootlader is unlocked, at this point i tried to root but i received lines of "impossible" on the terminal, i was be able to do all this one month ago but now i can't understand where is the problem. Someone have any idea??
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english

You have to check on flashtool to wipe everything for a factory reset. In your case I would flash a stock rom, unlock the bootloader via flashtool and then install a custom rom

How do you try to root? Do you want to install a custom rom? If you want to install a custom rom do the following:
1. flash the kernel from the custom rom
2. boot into that kernel and flash the custom rom zip file
3. wipe cache and dalvik
4. flash supersu zip file
If you want to stay stock but with root and are on 4.3:
1. flash the kernel of a custom rom
2. boot into that kernel and flash supersu zip file
3.reflash the stock kernel (excule everything else)

Yes i want to install a custom rom, i tried to root the phone using doomlord easy rooting toolkit to intall later the cwm, i know that if i do like you say i can install custom rom more fast, in less passages, but before i did this passages for root the phone and it worked but now after i unlock bootloader the phone doesn't start and i must flash again a stock rom with flashtool to make it work again, i know that then if i see in the phone i have the same the bootloader unlock but this isn't normal and after this new problem also the root doesnt' work
I hope that you can understand what i mean also if my english is bad
Yes maybe i can stay on 4.3 stock rom but to flash a custom kernel i must unlock the bootloader and we arrive at the same point of before, i'm not sure that the unlock works well

4.4.4 Bootloader Unlock?
I have an Xperia Z C6616 (10.5.1.A.0.283) that I rooted using easy root via flashtool. However, in the service menu, it says I am unable to unlock the bootloader. Is this true? Will I be forced to flash back to 4.3 to unlock it?

If it says you cannot unlock your bootloader, then you cannot unlock it at all, regardless of which firmware version is installed.
The C6616 bootloader is permanently locked because Bell requested it be that way and there's no way (either officially or unofficially) around it, unfortunately.

Well thats incredibly frustrating. Is there any way then to flash new roms or install a recovery? Also, it might not matter, but before I updated to 4.4, it listed my model number as C6606.
Bootloader Issue
Hey guys, ran into a little issue. I flashed my phone with a stock ROM, C6603_10.3.A.0.423_Generic ES.ftf.
Figuring It'd be fine, I then proceeded to attempt to unlock my bootloader. However, this time after flashing this stock ROM, unlocking the bootloader would cause my phone to crash, resulting in having to reflash the stock rom again.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Please help!
Hello, I need help with unlocking the bootloader for my Sony Xperia Z please. This is the first time I am doing this, so I am a extremely novice on these things. All I want is to flash the sony rom and install android 5 lollipop on my Xperia Z
I have done all the steps mentioned above but when I type the command fastboot.exe -I 0x0fce getvar version it just says waiting for device.
I don't know if my phone is even in fastboot mode. I have turned the developer mode on phone setting with USB debugging set to ON. When I connect my phone to the computer I press power and volume up for around 10 second before plugging in the USB. The phone vibrates 3 times and there is a sound in computer but nothing else happens. When I type the command adb devices, it shows no device attached.
I don't know if this is due to me not installing the drivers but I was tried to install Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe file, the installation failed. So I went to advance startup setting and disable driver signing. It then installed. I also downloaded the fastboot package and clicked all the exe files. And my phone has its rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
Please help!

You're holding the wrong key combination.
Power your phone OFF first.
When the phone is off, hold volume UP only while connecting your device to your PC. Do not press the power button. The LED should light up blue when done correctly. You can then stop pressing the volume key.

Oh Thank you so much! I think I unlocked the bootloader now
So what do I need to do now to install custom ROM?
If I understood correctly, I need to flash the current Sony ROM and install different one? Then again what is root? Is unlocking bootloader rooting? Also is the information on the forum up to date? because according to it the newest firmware is 10.3.1.A.0.244/10.3.1.A.2.67. But my firmware is 10.5.1.A.0.292. Please help, I tried finding these information but can't find them.

In my own opinion, you shouldn't even unlock your bootloader without getting better known to the entire device and its ROMS/Kernels and etc.,
Anyway, I tink that you haven't made TA pratition backup even, and if I'm right, then you've erased your DRM keys forever without a way getting them back.
But if you have made TA partition backup, then we can proceed to explain next thing.
To flash a custom ROM, you don't have to flash newer nor older software version.
All you have to do is go to your favourite ROM thread and read the instructions very carefully, otherwise you're risking to brick/soft-brick your device.
But on different ROMs can be different flashing guides, for example, we can take "Validus" ROM:
VALIDUS
Flashing instructions are : (I'm going to quote them)
1. Make sure you have CWM installed and a working nandroid backup
2. Download the ROM.
3. Place the ROM on your SD-Card.
4.Extract boot.img included in zip and fastboot flash it via Flashtool or CMD
5. Reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe data-factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache
7. Flash the ROM.
Optional- Flash GApps.
8. Reboot and Enjoy Validus!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So in overall, that mean at first you've to have CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery) (but I think that it's not necessary if you would flash boot.img with it either way)
Secondly, you've to put the entire ROM in your SD Card (not in phone memory), you can include gapps as well,
Third, you need to extract the file named "boot.img" from the ROM which you've downloaded (Now i'm talking about VALIDUS and ONLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO INSTALL THIS ROM EXACTLY), but don't remove it from .rar/.zip.
After you've done everything what is written above, you can flash boot.img using the command prompt and fastboot file, which you were using to unlock your bootloader.
The command is this : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then, write fastboot reboot and as soon as your LED will change color, push the volume up rocker and then you will be in recovery. After that, go to "Apply Update" --> "Choose from files" or sth (don't remember now), --> "Validus.zip/.rar". and optional you can flash gapps either.
And then pus the button to "Reboot now".
That's all - you've newest Validus build.
But the main point is that for example you would take Pabx rom, you'll have to do everything using CMD (fastboot)
PABX's ROM YUGA L
Look at yourself and compare everything.
Validus ROM is customized than Pabx ROM. It has more customatizations either : APPS, Control, Mods, Gesture and etc., and Pabx ROM is pure-stock L (I think).
I hope I anwered to all ur questions, if not - quote me
Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply and yes perhaps you are right. I should not mess with my phone's software. My skill and knowledge on this is extremely limited. I think I did unlock my bootloader but I will leave it on that. My phone still runs fine for now. Unless I find some tutorial videos which I can understand, I will stay away from flashing my phone
Thanks again for help.

Well, you shouldn't be afraid of flashing stock 5.0.x, as you're not flashing custom kernels. To flash pabx's rom, you just need to connect your phone via USB to PC, whilst holding Volum +. (Phone need to be turn on). Then blue led will show up and you're ready to write commands via CMD prompt, wich you can open in sdk/platform-tools/ (or simply download ADB and fastboot drivers).
To open them, just with holding RMB click on "open command prompt here", then write this command:
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And if it will show you like CXXXXXX (or something like that, if not even first letter is C, it's alright), you're ready to go.
Then download all files needed from Pabx site (ROM and gapps). Extract both in ADB-Fastboot driver's folder (in which are fastboot.exe, adb.exe). It should be these files: userdata.img, system.img, boot.img.
And then you just simple need to flash these IMGs:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then just type
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Your phone will reboot and will load ~ 1-3 minutes.
Well, personally I don't encourge you to do that, I'm just suggesting. It's your choice to do that or not. I just have given you all the instructions.
Hope I helped you
Hi,
I have problem unlocking bootloader on my C6603. I successfully rooted it with easyroot, made TA backup, my phone says that unlocking bootloader is allowed but whenever i tried to do this it either fails or goes to bootloop. I was investigating a bit more and found some information saying that phone has to be simlock free with some certificates(???) and s1tool gives me answer that my simlock unlock is tampered. Is it the reason why i can't unlock bootloader? If so, is there any way to unlock it anyway?
Thanks in advance.

Did you relock while on a custom rom or kernel? Try flashing a stock FTF.

How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
I wrote that guide for the Xperia Z, but the method is identical for the Z2. You will probably have to wipe data if you're coming from a custom rom.
