Did you unlocked your bootloader ? And which CM rom are you using exactly ?

relax dude!
maybe you can try this!
- first download X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf from filecrop
put in the firmware folder on Flashtool
- flash that kernel, so you get your phone in 2.1
- root your phone with flash tool by clicking the cross icon
-unlock bootloader (remember do not unlock BL for 11w29+)
- flash the kernel
- backup
- factory reset, wipe data, etc
- flash your ROM
Done! :laugh:

Thanks for ur information, I tried all those steps mentioned above. Now my phone is working fine. Now I installed GingerDX 028b

I bricked my XZ :(

Please help guys. I tried flashing ROM using the instructions on the front page for locked bootloader and my phone froze on formatting /system, I restarted phone and it is just stuck on Sony. I have tried holding power and volume up it does nothing except restart the device. My PC won't recognise it to do any repairs. Any ideas?

Keep pressing vol up + power for 15 sec till the phone shutdown.
Use flashtool to flash a stock ftf firmware.

It just ends up vibrating for three times and restarting back to Sony screen?

Weird this should turn off the phone.
Is the phone plugged to a usb?

Ok thanks I have it turned off now. How do I flash with it off with flashtools?

Download flashtool from development section,and an ftf stock firmware.
Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware folder.
Install xperia z drivers,you find it in flashtool/drivers
Click on flash,choose the ftf and wait the the pop up telling you to connect your phone by holding volume down and connecting the usb.

I don't know if there is an easier way cause i didn't tried the recovery available.
All you can do is doing all steps again and install the recovery than restore your backup.

ok so i was stupidly messing around with my fastboot cwm interface menu`s
and i decided ,somehow that it was a good idea to try and install the jellybean 4.2.2
firmware on my device so i entered the install from sdcard menu without even thinking much about it i located the .zip file and installed it and clicked reboot and then absolutley nothing but the boot vibration went off and the screen stays black and it is stuck here . so i used to old powr+ vol up for 3-15 secs and waited for the double vibration and still nothing happens .so im stuck.
sorry for the long post but i`m in a panic as this phone is fairly new about 1 month old and i had already rooted and unlocked boot loader on it so .i hope the info helps you to help me
please respond asap :fingers-crossed:

Sounds to me like you haven't flashed the kernel required for 4.2.2 (I am presuming you were on a stock/custom Sony ROM before)
If you flash 4.2.2 you also need to flash the kernel specific to the ROM you've tried to flash using fastboot commands.
To do that you need to have the correct XZ drivers installed, and have adb/fastboot working

To flash a ftf file you need to go into flash mode volume down green led and flashtool will do the rest
You are going into fastest which is used for kernels

Yes, but are you talking about Existenz v6 and about update package version v6.5?
When yes, go to recovery, select clean to install new rom, wipe cache, dalvik cahe and install Existenz v6. Then reboot and download Existenz v6.6 (latest update, which fixes many bugs) and flash it. Flashing without wiping should work, but i recommend to wipe cache and dalvik

Try this, when you start flashing, press-release the power button multiple times until it finish flashing, this is something that is actually happening on my xperia z, and sometimes it just starts redlight and vibrate 3 times, reboot, if i press-release press-release fast multiple times, it just dont reboot.
Regards!

It works

[Q] Help flashed tilal6991's CM 10.2 [4.3] [XPERIA T] cant go back to cm 10.1

Hello everyone
I am a noob.
I have just recently flashed tilal6991's CM 10.2 [4.3] [XPERIA T] rom onto my Xperia T. I know it is a working progress and it works really fast on my phone.
I had decided that after trying it out I would wait till a nightly came out for it. Only thing is I can no longer access CWM by starting up phone and repeatedly pressing down volume. it justs keep screen flickering on a blank screen until I hold up volume and power button to reboot phone.
Can someone please tell me an idiot proof process of reinstalling cm 10.1 onto the phone?
I used CWM to install teh rom.
Many thanks in advance

Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool.
Our flash a stock kernel (doomkernel is good) then flash a stock based custom Rom in recovery (I suggest mine Rom-assaye)
You cannot repair in pccompanion because you have unlocked your bootloader

Thanks for the quick reply. downloading flash tool now. I will give your rom a go.

Do I need to download the ftf from flashtools website? I noticed they have 9.1.A.1.140 Customized CE1 firmware.

No, just one from the all in one thread, but that one seems fine.
Make sure you use the flash tool from the first post in the dev section
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

you dont need to flash stock FTF
just flash this kernel via flashtool
http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/kernels/mint/boot-cm-10.1-test-28072013-take2.img
and you will be able to enter recovery and then flash what you need... this way is more quicker..

Apologies, I misread the op, I thought he wanted to go back to stock.
Yes, flashing a kernel (doomkernel will do) with recovery then the . Zip for cm10 will do the trick much quicker.
Edit
Or flash the kernel then restore the backup of your cm10 Rom that you made before flashing a new Rom

thanks for all the help guys.
I have a new problem. the phone will not stay in fast boot mode and fast tool just keeps saying awaiting device. i dont know what to do. I hold down power and volume up buttons when putting the micro usb in. I get the 3 vibration in a row and then i let go of buttons. blue light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.
Any ideas?

open flashtool and select flash icon then fastboot mode
turn off your phone hold power +volume down till you get 3 vibrations on a row
now connect the phone by holding only up volume when connecting cable
then select SELECT kernel to flash switch to IMG extension and select kernel after 5 second it should be flashed
now turn on your phone go to recovery and flash what you want

Guys you are all awesome.
finally got it sorted. took me til 2230 GMT. It was the cursed Windows 8. it was not letting me install sony fastboot drivers. once i switched off the function to stop me installing my own drivers, I was able to install fastboot drivers and 30 secs later I was in CWM.
Once again guys you are awesome.
