Yesterday,I rooted my Z with b4nary's method with locked bootloader.I flashed cwm recovery for locked bootloader.All OK.
When i tried to flash krappabel's mod for black statusbar and buttons I screwed it.They dissaperead.
I didn't make a backup.Nothing. Installed the iphone touch buttons somehow(because no back button)
Then I tried to manually change the SystemUI.apk.Succes.
When i tried to change the permissions my phone reboots and doesn't let me.
Any solution?please please please! :crying:

dude i had the same problem, download this
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
turn off your phone and put the micro usb in your phone ( dont connect to pc yet ). start the update service and choose your phone ( normal xz , not japanese version!! ). it will say u need to press volume down while phone is off and after u keep pressing down put the usb in your PC. IT will detect and wipe and install stock rom.. ).. tell me if it works

Do you have unlocked bootloader??
If yes use this http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/

What's the error cause the image is unreadable.
When you connected the phone in flash mode(vol Down+usb) did you installed the drivers?
Usually when you click on flash with flashtool and you select the firmware,you have to wait till the pop up tells you to connect the phone.

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

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

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

No you don't need to unlock the boot loader to flash via flash tool'you need the drivers

you will need to unlock if you want to flash a custom kernel ..

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, you cannot run a custom kernel.
Flashing just the stock kernel for your firmware with Flashtool should fix your problem.

Xperia Z not booting up after flashing
Hello guys, I badly need help in fixing my Xperia z c6603 device. I flashed the device using the ftf file from xperifirm and now my device does not boot up and stuck in blank screen.
Kindly assist.

I think I need some help.

Sorry if this isn't the right way of asking this.
I was on .205 firmware I've rooted it using toowelroot way and installed a recovery. Then I tried to install CM11 nightly from today.
I turned on the phone on recovery.
Made a backup.
Install from zip
got a message os "installation complete press any key"
rebooted.
phone never turned itself on
Tried to turned it on but it only vibrates.
Did I brick my phone?
help please.
---------------------------------------------
Did a bit of search. I'm using SUS to fix the problem. I guess custom ROM's aren't for me.
What I'm doing:
*Started SUS
*Connected phone while holding Volume - to the PC
Now I'm waiting for SUS to "fix" my mistake.
