i'm totally newbie using xperia z rooted with unlocked bootloader , few weeks ago i can access recovery but yesterday i cant access recovery (blank screen; LED = green)..
trying to flash using flashtools (originally from Sony website) so maybe i can rolled back my phone into factory default ROM n etc then follow the steps but "EMMA" can't find any service.
Anyway, my xperia Z works fine but i want to upgrade my JellyBam to 10.3 ver. or if it cant, i want to rolled back my phone into factory (no custom ROM)...
anyone can help me?
Do you use XZDualRecovery or the install with UB(flashing boot.img)?
If XZDualRecovery, Try reinstalling.
If boot.img, reflash it.

Phone Details:
- Xperia Z (T-Mobile) C6606
- Firmware or Build 10.1.1.B.0.166
I was able unbrick my phone and hope the method I used is helpful to others.
****Here's what happened.....******
Got the phone from T-Mobile had a lot of useless apps. Tried to root the phone all kinds of ways. Connected the phone to PC and opened up Flashtool. Flashtool did not detect the phone. I had to go into USB debugging and uncheck it off and check it back on, phone was detected and it says Root Access Allowed.
Installed Dual Recovery.. and installed the rom from zip. Rom instructions as follow:
Requirements: (Click on link below to get them)
1. Root - You probably don't really need this since this ROM itself also include stable and proper root package but most locked bootloader phones require root access to install recovery.
2. CWM/TWRP Recovery support - This is the real requirements. If you can access Recovery to flash this ROM, the rest should be working fine like root/busybox. Sadly you'll need either root or get custom kernel with recovery so you can forget root and be done with.
Instructions did not say install a different firmware, so I am thinking I can use my original firmware since the rom was based on a stock rom.
After installation of custom zip, cleared dalvik cache and reboot the phone. The phone bricked on me. All it did was cycle through the sony xperia boot screen and restart over and over again. I couldn't even get back to recovery(pressing vol. down on reboot) to restore my back up of my previous rom.
*****How I unbricked my phone*****
Remembered back in the day when I was flashing roms for on my previous xperia... I use Sony Companion Suite to restore my phone back to factory. Luckily it worked for my Xperia Z and now I am back with the stock rom.

Hi there,
I've got a problem with my Z1. I am with 14.4.0.157 stock ROM, and locked BL.
I rooted it (working), then added Dual Recovery (working).
Then I tried to install DStriker ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-1-0-t2928666).
With TWRP, at the end of Aroma installer, I unticked 'reboot now' then bim, black screen, nothing possible to do, nothing worked : stucked at black screen. I pushed hard power off button, then at reboot : stuck at Sony logo.
I searched this forum and found how to make it back : I went to flashtool then reflashed stock, all was working again.
I made all the root and recovery operations. All was working. Then I tried with CWM Recovery. After install/reboot (as asked in the installation instructions) : stuck at Sony logo.
So I made (once again) all modifications to flash stock/root/recovery. So I tried another custom ROM : iHAckers one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716182). Aroma working well, install OK then reboot : STUCK again at Sony Logo !
In conclusion : only stock ROMs seem to work on my phone (or the ones flashed with Flashtool), I can root and install Recovery, install ROMs from recovery too, but impossible to boot on these new ROMs.
Searching for a solution to install a new custom ROM.
Any help ?
I guess I found something :
- I changed the Dual recoveyr script with the last one (I thought I already had) : I used the last one from http://nut.xperia-files.com/
- I loaded and rooted before with 14.4.A.0.108 stock version.
I don't know which one solved the problem. I guess it is the recovery script, but I will do more tests, I believe it can help someone...
I will keep you up-to-date.
i've had the same problem. The solution i found is that i should start the operation from stock 14.1.G.1.534. whenever i used another stock version, phone got stuck at sony logo.

I think Xperia Z1 is against newer stock firmwares when we want to update.
So till I installed iHackers with the method I explained above (other stock firmware), I've never met the problem again.
I then flashed to Dstriker and no problem. I think there was something wrong when coming from stock/rooted/dual recovery/locked BL 14.4.A.0.157...
Best regards and happy new year all.
Helo , im using Xperia Z C6603 with locked bootloader.

Actually, you can't boot on custom rom with locked bootloader, therefore you might brick your device if you'll keep trying to flash custom roms on your phone.
Firstly, you've to unlock your Bootloader if you want to use any custom rom (unlocking bootloader will lead you to DRM keys and its functions remove, with TA Partition backup you'll be able to recover it).
i solwed my problem, i just cant wipe system partition ... so i install custom rom, then make factory reset and its works!
Hi Friends,
I have played a lot with xperia z and never got into such situation.
So i have been using this resurrection remix 7.1.1 rom 12122016 build, and wanted to switch device so to give this device to my family member i flashed .222 5.1.1 as he is not techy like me and wont be able to fix problems on his own.
now the thing is i am stuck at black screen after sony logo
I know kernel is there there is just some system issue and to fix it i did below things still no success.
1. flashed ftf 6602 (Double checked and re downloaded FTF in case ftf was courrepted)
2. used emma tool and updated phone

First of all: read the forum rules. After 1400 posts you should know that the GENERAL section is not the right place to ask questions like this.
Second: Wich file system are you using? If it's any other but ext4 you should format the storage using twrp.
Did you flash with Androxyde's flashtool, or just with Emma?
Hey ! i too experienced the same issue earlier today.. Only the latest build isnt working when flashed ..I flashed the kitkat build via flashtool and it worked.. is there any solution.. ? ive been trying since morning.. And another thing is that recovery also cant be flashed . So im literally stuck at this phase. :crying:
just flash a stock rom from flashtool i always encounter that when i corrupt flashing thru recovery.. like i fully wipe and forgot to put rom in internal lol
Flashed with both Emma and flashetool
Even tried custom lp rom via twrp but the same situation
Have you fixed your issue? I have the same case. I flashed it to stock ROM but the black screen is still occurring after xperia logo.
1. make sure your partition is ext4
2. download proper official Kitkat 4.4.4 firmware (.tft), flash it with Androxyde's flashtool (make sure the .ftf is not corrupted, driver is installed, good usb cable and 75% of battery or above).
3. if you wanna check the device is in good shape, try to boot up (in my case, I'll flash LP 5.1.1 right after flashing KK firmware is done).
4. if the device is boot up correctly, turn off your device and begin to flash LP 5.1.1 firmware
NOTE: somewhere on this forum say about the right version of flashtool to flash the firmware to our device, older version of flashtool. But I'm using version 0.9.22.3 and everything is fine. However, I can see that the flashtool is not using the newest engine while flashing my device (C6603) but using the older engine instead.
Hi,
I have already been in such a situation.
1) Try to flash (with flashtool) official 4.2 Android firmware, boot, then flash latest one (5.1.1)
2) Try to flash official firmware (4.2) with xflasher (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74122327&postcount=212, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74122295&postcount=2)
Good luck!
still having same issue with my z3, flashing with emma and tft but stuck on sony logo
I also met this problem yesterday.
I use the latest Flashtool and flash the latest firmware but it said The bundle does not match the connected device.
Then I use a older version like 0.9.18 to flash the latest firmware. The problem you said occurred. It stuck in black screen after Sony logo.
Here is how I fix it:
1. Use an older version of Flashtool to flash an older firmware such as 4.4.4_10.5.1.A.0.283 like me.
2. After flashing the old firmware it should be normally powered on. Then power off and enter the flash mode again. And flash the latest firmware, problem fixed.
Hope that my experience can offer a bit help for you.
