[Q] Xperia Z can't boot to recovery - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

Phone always boots in recovery

I was trying to restore my phone to previous state using Rom Manager. Phone restarted in recovery mode, formatted the boot partition and failed to restore. I applied existing of CWM ROM update.zip and snce then my phone restarts in Recovery mode everytime.
I tried one click restore using ODIN, Heimdall nothing worked. recreated the partitions wiped everything, loaded stock ROM but still the phone boots up in recovery mode.
Please suggest some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem.

do you mean the one click for installing stock rom or something else?
I had the same problem a few days ago couldn't figure it Out. searched and searched for the right image
Files for my Nexsus S. I ended up wiping everything and flashed all the image files with TRWP cause CWR wouldn't work
for the stock ICS and and it worked fine. Now I'm running the 4.1.1 jellybean it sweet.Hope this helps.

Yes the one click package for installing Stock ROM. it did repartitioning, wiped all data, loaded everything successfully. but after booting it shows up the recovery screen.

Hmmm... i've heard of cases where the power button on the captivate refuses to be 'unpressed' which makes it boots up just by plugging in the battery,
Maybe it's like that with your volume buttons?
Does it feels a little bit weird like it doesn't click when you press it?

Thats a good point...
The buttons seem to be normal. I tried keytest and the results look fine
Volume Up : 115
Volume Down : 114
Power : 116
Menu : 139
Home : 102
Search : 217
Back : 158
Moreover I can access recovery and flash any ROM that I have on SDCard. Funny part whenever I flash a new ROM I see a new recovery
Do you know of anyway use ADB without booting phone and putting it in debugging mode?
Thanks for your inputs.
Update: Issue is resolved
I'm not sure on exactly what worked. Using System Corps Recovery, I changed all the partitions to ext4. Made some random changes to toggles during boot. Restarted in download mode and flashed a one click stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
it booted in recovery, then clicked on Flash Bootloader in one click and restarted the phone in download mode and flashed it again with the same ROM.
Thats it. I feel that Bootloader did the trick, but I had it flashed earlier as well.
Thanks irfarf & Sammyazel for your inputs on this.

congrats!!
i do also think that it was the boot loader is the problem here
i had a few problem with my friends cappy won't go into download mode and whenever it boots up, it shows a bunch of random colors than a boot image. turns out that the last bootloader flash wasn't done correctly or something.
Confirmed - the problem is with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

Try running the keytest from recovery mode to ensure all the keys are working fine.
In my case it was corrupt bootloader that caused this issue. you can try flashing stock ROM with bootloaders to fix it.
All the best!

What exactly did you do to get to this point?
You can find Odin KK4 with bootloaders here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You will need to flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 afterwards if you wanna flash a custom ROM.

[Q] I think I've bricked my phone, please help!

I have had my i9305t rooted with CWM since day one, and it has always worked fine. Today I saw there was an AOKP build 5 available for the i9305, and stupidly I tried to flash it, forgetting I needed a specific local version. It didn't even try to install, because CWM recognised it was for the wrong version phone, so I restored the backup file I'd made with CWM. It said there was an MD5 mismatch, but it booted back up fine and I could set up the phone again, however it had reset to base. So I rebooted, got into recovery again, did a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, tried to restore again... no difference.
Not sure exactly when it happened, but I tried to boot into recovery again and it hung on the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305T' splash screen. So I turned it off and it booted up into Android again as per normal. In an attempt to fix recovery (at this stage I was considering just reflashing the stock rom), I downloaded CWM off the play store and used the 'Flash CWM recovery' option. It said it succeeded, so I tried booting into recovery again but it hung on the splash screen once again. So I turned it off, tried to boot normally into Android again, but it hung on the splash screen again!
Now it doesn't matter what I do, trying to boot into recovery or Android it gets stuck on that damned splash screen! I tried pulling out the battery and leaving it out for a good ten minutes, plugging it back in and booting it up, but again it gets stuck. If I leave it on the splash screen, there it will stay. It doesn't pulse, it doesn't move, it doesn't reset, it just hangs there indefinitely.
Please help! Is there anything I can do to recover it, or have I just got myself an expensive paperweight?

So I managed to get into download mode and successfully flashed the right CWM recovery via Odin. Got into recovery, so I decided to try flashing L335K1's DVALI6 build as I had been about to do before all this happened. It flashed fine and I am now back in full control of my phone! Thank Crom for that... and thank you for helping out a noob XDA!

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.

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.

All you can do is doing all steps again and install the recovery than restore your backup.

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

[Q] Xperia SP struck on sony logo. Please help!!

Hi guys, big fan here. I have been hanging around here for quite some time now but this is my first post
I was trying to put CM11 on my phone. After taking a backup in TWRP when i tried to put CM11 there suddenly the logs declared that system partition cannot be read. I am on a unlocked boot loader. I did try to use a backup but the same error that system partition is not readable popped up. Then I rebooted the phone only to find that its forever stuck on the Sony logo with a red light. I read up and found that I can flash a .ftf file to do things right. Just now I found that my phone stays in flash mode only for a small time and then again starts to show that crap Sony splash screen.
Can some kind developer or enthusiast like myself please help me??

Hi there!
I can help you bascially you just messed up the partition. Don't worry it can be corrected easily. Download .ftf file for your Xperia Sp model (Google it).
press the back yellow button situated downwards inside the cover. When you do that does it vibrate three times? Please let me know the exact situation so that I can help

Thanks for replying. Yeah, it does vibrate thrice, that's how I turned it off for the first time. I downloaded the ftf file. Also, if I put it in flash mode, after nearly a minute the led turns red and the Sony logo is back.

Ok. Download the stock kernel for your Xperia device and place it inside Flashtool folder . Make sure your device is switched off and open Flashtool on your PC. Connect your phone by holding VOLUME DOWN Button until green LED lights up. You have your device connected in fastboot mode now. As you said that your phone restarts after a minute so you gotta be fast , quickly hit the smart lighting button and select Fastboot mode on Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Once the kernel starts flashing wait for it to finish and voila you're done.
Warning - I will not be blamed for brick or dead devices, it is a method that is risky so proceed at your own risk***

Thanks guys. The phone is up again. Here's what I did.
1. Tried Fastboot mode and it worked.
2. Downloaded Doomkernel.
3. Flashed using flashtool.
4. After flashing this kernel I was able to boot into recovery (philz touch).
5. System partition still couldn't mount. I read somewhere that formatting it can help. As does unmounting everything else.
6. Mounted system and flashed Existenz rom again.

Have you installed TWRP as recovery or are you trying to use built in recovery?
Volume up, home button, and power as its starting up.
This will work with stock recovery or team win recovery.
