I have managed to root and unlock boot loader. Tried flashing kernel in development section but freezes on boot logo. Just wanting cwm recovery
I will work on kernels as soon as I get the T next or the week after. So don't worry, it will get recovery.
I'm going to recompile the kernel today, maybe I made a typo in the command. But it will come just give it some time
EDIT: new kernels posted, let's hope they boot this time the command I use should be good, I used the right base adresses
I posted 2 insecure kernels, please test them both and report back to me

I haven't received my phone yet, but I would put a request in for 4Ext. I like CWM and all, but 4Ext is my favorite... maybe I should start another thread?
How to unlock bootloader?
The new kernels are for unlocked bootloader. I can not unlock it. I've tried as this site says http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions but i stuck. I went to the step when You switch on the phone, but had some problems with the drivers. (Windows is not asking for them. Just can't find them.)
Can anyone help me? Step by step? Small steps please
cube76 From the sony website:
Supported phones
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of the following phone models.
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc S
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo V
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia ™ mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ mini pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ active
Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™
Sony Xperia™ S
Sony Xperia™ P
Sony Xperia™ go
Sony Xperia™ U
Sony Xperia™ sola
Sony Xperia™ acro S

I believe it works. I just don't know what to do. I connected my phone while I was pressing volume button. But Windows just couldn't find drivers and I couldn't select it manually.

Run Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the Xperia TX drivers.
After that's done boot the phone into bootloader with usb connected, it'll try to install the drivers with the device (will probably exit bootloader mode shortly after).
After that, try booting into bootloader again, it should stick

Hey guys,
Unfortunately I have encountered a sudden death with my Xperia Z yesterday. I had:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Stock kernel
- Stock based rom
- Recovery for locked bootloader, because I was still testing it.
I wanted to try the whitebalance.apk from Xperia ZL rom to seeif it worked or to debug if it didn't.
Anone else had a sudden death or a similar problem like softbrick? Let me know and post as many details as possible.
I've tried everything so don't say:
- Try a hard reset
- Try fastboot
- Try Flashmode
- Try charging it for hours
EDIT: More details:
- C6603
- No LED
- Vo vibration
- Nothing after hours of charging.
Only thing I haven't tried is connecting in a dock, because I don't have one. Black97 told me he solved the issue by connecting to the dock.
Do you still have any led notifications(red,blue,green)?
Did you manage to use the white balance settings?could be the value set burns the screen??

would u pls tell ur xZ is; C6603 Or C6602?
and kernel
Off topic I know, but I bricked by Xperia U by removing the battery through a freeze. It wouldn't boot or charge. But I left in on charge for an hour, and it booted. As well as that, it had downgraded from V4 of a ROM I was running to V3.
On a brick that makes no sense, fix it in a way that makes no sense.

Have you got a old Xperia sitting around? Bring them to us!

I added more details, I've really tried everything, I recovered several Xperia phones from soft brick, so I don't think any of these will help, but I'll connect it to usb and charger again during the weekend. I need to sent it back to the online store on monday.
EDIT: More details:
- Stock kernel
- Stock based rom, slightly modified stock rom
- Unlocked Bootloader
- C6603
- No LED
- Vo vibration
- Nothing after hours of charging.

Any Feedback when connecting to PC?
Any Device recognized? I actually think you messed up your CPU/Mainbord somehow... ...or is it a memory/flash problem?
Hope you can solve it
Try recalling what you did before the sudden death, like installing the apk or modifying the framework.

Hello krabappel2548 !
- to understand that not really worth to unlock bootloader !
- XZ is so sensitive that he breaks so fast ?
I know you as a consummate professional ( I do not think it is because of you, rather I go on a platform quite sensitive to the Sony ...)
I bought it a few days ago and I'm going to do some custom rom and kernel for it - but now I remains to think about that ....
Good luck & hope that you resolve the situation :good:
( sure, I need to unlock bootloader first : )

Battery cover on the Z is unremovable.
My guess is he just had an unlucky device. I've read about one dead Xperia Z before on another forum so it's entirely possible. Doubt it's related to anything else.
Did you experience any extraordinary heat from the phone before it crashed?
Maybe try smelling for burns or something.
Recover your phone with SUS, i recovered my x10mini several times.

Hello guys,
I just rooted my Xperia Z and flashed this ROM on to my Xperia Z: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262905
After flashed I clicked reboot system now on CWM. However, the phone didn't restart. After a minute, I turned it on myself but the screen would not come on, it was totally blank. I connected it to the charger (it's in charging now) and a RED LED keeps flashing.
What should I do? Please help .
Also, like a dimwit I didn't backup my phone so please give me methods to back it up in it's current state just in case any methods you guys recommend delete the data on my phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
