Hello,
Yesterday i rooted and installed recovery on stock .423 Sony rom. After installing NanDroid and taking a backup i suddently couldnt get in to recovery. When i boot my phone, and press "volume up" nothing happens, the phone just boots as normal. I have also notized that it also just flashes the green LED- light and not the purple.
So this have happened to me before on my device, that the recovery just dissepears. I also installed Nandroid manager and selected reboot into recovery but only made the phone reboot normally.
So is there anyone who knows what this might be?
Thank you ,
This phone has a very sensitive recovery,in other word Fu*****g recovery.

And with that you mean?
Well so i re-installed CMW and now it works ! I finally got to install cm10. Is there any explanation why this happens?
You press and hold vol up or down once u see the green light. You should also flash recovery zip after instaling any rom or u might loose recovery.

When I restart my phone it boots right into CW recovery. I tried to deodex but it didn't go through. Once in CW recovery I can hit restart and it loads up fine. Any reason this is happening or how to fix it?

Do this happen everytime... or just that one time when you tried to deodex??
I'm asking because the modded recovery is made so that if your phone never COMPLETELY boots... it will reboot to recovery the next time your phone restarts.
When it does restart COMPLETELY, it will restart as normal.. until it fails to boot again. (Which no one ever wishes to happen lol)
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

3. When I try to charge it, it had red LED on and off all the night.
4. It can still go into flashmood and fastboot.
5. I try to use flashtool to flash .434 ftf. Flashtool told me "ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0026";ERR_DYNAMIC="Write TA failed"
6. I try to use sony update service to fix it and it told me your device doesn't have new update.
7. I try to use fastboot to reflash kernel and failed as well.

Are you sure you followed the instructions carefully?
Do you have flashtool beta6?

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

First of all, Flash Kernel only if have unlocked bootloader :/ i encountered the same issue. If so you need to flash the stock ROM - Please find the stock ROM below in link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38637922&postcount=2
Use Beta6 Flashtool to flash the ROM.
It will worl for sure
Here is the problem: the phone is only able to boot in to cwm. I dont know what happened, but the system got wiped. The process of flashing a ROM goes well but when i reboot the system is wiped again and it boots into cwm.
Is there a way to solve this problem with the phone only, because i dont have the necessary programs on my laptop to solve this problem in a different way, and i wont be able to download them for another week. I do have adb on laptop but i dont know if it could help the situation.

Try removing the battery then put it back in. Turn it on pressing power and volume up. In recovery choose reboot system.

Already did that, but the problem is that after reboot there isnt a system to boot into. So it boots in cwm.

It might be different with this phone, but the phones I've had with a blank system didn't boot into recovery, you'd either get a boot loop or just a blank screen.
I've had the recovery boot loop before and the only way to get out of it was to boot into recovery manually (rather than let it boot into it itself). Which meant removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then making sure when you boot into recovery you initiate it before it does itself.
If it is a blank system then I'd suggest just trying to somehow get a ROM on your phone to flash.
Did you not make a nandroid?

Hey needing abit of help here
last night i rooted my xperia Z and installed CWM the locked bootloader way
after the cwm finishes installing the phone boots into cwm right away and all works fine...however...
i read on how to boot to recovery myself by turning the phone on and when the LED'S start changing colour to keep pushing the volume up key.
for some reason my when booting my LED goes green and stays green and the phone boots straight away normally so if i want to access cwm i have to keep flashing it to the phone first but i dont get why.
am i missing something here or have you any idea whats went wrong?
please help
thanks
Install the XZRecovery.apk and use the Reboot Recovery option.

If you haven't managed to get it installed from the computer then unfortunately you need to reflash and start all over if that happens, or at least to getting rooted and CWM reinstalled then you can just flash your backup.
I ran into a bootloop after flashing a mod my phone didn't like lol. I used the Sony update service to flash the firmware back again although it failed 1st time then I had to get the pc to pick up the phone and thank god it did I started again. So I rooted the phone again and flashed twrp using the app you recommended. But still when the phone boots up the LED doesn't change colour it just stays off or goes green on boot up. But I have the extended boot options to get into recovery mode now so it's all good. But thank you for your help m8
