[Q] Help! Xperia Z CyanogenMod not letting me inside - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
I used to have a working stock firmware 2.67 Android 4.2.2, but I decided to unlock my bootloader.
I did the operation twice and then I encountered bootloop issue.
I downloaded a stock firmware and flashed it using Androxyde Flashtool.
Oh god! The firmware FTF file was corrupted.
I AM sure that it was corrupted.
Next up, I booted my device but it won't let me inside: Just the SONY screen and a black screen and afterwards and it goes off.
Then I flashed CWM Recovery as a boot.img file. After that I entered (luckily!) the CWM recovery, Cleaned Cache and performed Hard reset and installed the CyanogenMod 10.2 Yuga Nightly (or sth like that) as a zip. It said that it had been successful.
Despite that, when I rebooted device through CWM, I got the CyanogenMod boot screen( a blue orbit moving around) and it shows that forever!
What is wrong with my smartphone?
How can I fix this thing without a fresh installation of the stock firmware?

And if you flash cm again without wipe data?
Do you tryed to flash only an other kernel?
Tipp: always do Backups before flashing new CFWs.

[Q] [HELP] Stuck on bootloop, phone reboots when trying to flash stock ftf

Hey!
I tried flashing CM10.1 but something went wrong when I flashed the boot.img. Whenever I try to flash a new boot.img in fastboot the phone reboots before the install is complete. I then tried to install the Doomkernel v06 through recovery (both CWM and TWRP), it seems like it works and I tried to install another room I had (KA05), still stuck in bootloop.
There is no green led when entering flashboot, but the flashtool finds the phone before it restarts again.
So yeah.. I'm rather stuck with no possibility of flashing stock ftf and no way of flashing anything but the Doomkernel v06 through recovery.
[SOLVED!!]
I managed to solve this by trying to install different roms and kernels. Ended up with Cyanogenmod (the one I was trying in the first place).
Not sure I'll be able to change back to anything though, but yeah at least it's not dead
Oh, and the kernel and rom I tried with was on the internal SD from earlier (backup if something went wrong)
ok, I managed to get into Cyanogenmod 10.1 now!
However, I don't have service, and it doesn't appear to find my sim-card

Rooting problem!!

I tried rooting my Sony V, but its ended up in disaster where the phone doesnt boot past sony xperia part and just loops.
I tried to root it via this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090319&page=2
Through" Gasai Yuno" step by step instructions. I have tried to originally flash my phone using the"TRIMMED-LT25i-SOL21_9.0.F.0.195.ftf or the original LT25i-SOL21_9.0.F.0.195.ftf " but it turned out a disaster.
I managed to get the bootlocker unlocked but even that seem to have re-setted everything on my phone to default and deleted everything on my phone.
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
All I wanted to do was load this ROM.

Those instructions are for Android 4.0.4-based firmware. Obviously the phone will bootloop if you flash 4.0.4 over 4.1.2.
Use Flashtool to flash it to a proper 4.1.2-based firmware and get root using Binary's scripts.
You could also flash a custom root-enabled kernel using fastboot if you unlocked the bootloader.

Unlocking the booloader always resets all data, it's normal.
thanks guys really appreciate the help!
Any chance you can guide me in the right direction to a 4.1.2 based firmware?
This thread has FTFs for .140. You could just search the forum for "LT25i FTF" yourself, you know.

Ok I flashed it back to normal then I tried to install CWM Recovery through this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738
Using this method:
"Installing CWM for the first time is as simple as:
Download CWM v4 installer for ICS if you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or CWM v9 installer for JB if you are on Jelly Bean, and unzip
Enable USB debugging and connect phone to your computer
Run install.bat/install.sh"
After that I tried installing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500671
But it failed and gave me error7 I think it was, so I tried to forget about the rom and tried reboot the phone back to normal but now the phone doesn't go past Sony on boot up, and I can't load up CWM.
PLEASE HELP!
Flash the .140 FTF using Flashtool once again.

Just for Information... Most flashable ROM zips do wipe the system partition before the actual install begins - as a result, your recovery (which is for locked bootloaders and thus stored on system partition) is also gone. Which means that on reboot neither rom nor recovery is present to be booted in.
So in the case of a broken rom zip or errors in CWM, it is important to either flash another (working) rom zip and the CWM-self-installer zip directly afterwards or restore a (hopefully) previously done nandroid backup.
Otherwise, you'll need your pc to setup your phone again ^^

Help, CM 11 Nightly BOOTLOOP on Xperia SP

I was on stock firmware (no root), i unlocked bootloader (but im not shure if i done it correctly, ithink that this is the problem), i downloaded and extracted boot.img and flash it via command prompt, installed zip file from sd card (cm-11-20140915-NIGHTLY-huashan) and now im stuck at cyanogenmod bootloop animation, i tried it several older version nightlys, same thing, ANY HELP PLEASE? And yes i tried factory data and wipe cache, no luck...
and yes i tried factory data and wipe cache, no luck...
I followed this guide here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_huashan
Use the Edit/Delete button in the right down corner, no multi-post
Have u tried flash again Stock one? just to be sure ur BL is unlocked..... but I'm pretty sure it is due to bootloop in CM logo, not kernel one, what about CM11 from FXP for UBL?
yes my BL is unlocked, when i enter flashtool/BLU it said Relock, thats mean that is unlocked, right? Idont know to flash stock rom and where to find, and what do you mean with "CM11 from FXP for UBL", i downloaded cm11 from offical cite, from here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=nightly
tried to flash another rom, the same thing happens!
Flash an FTF file using Flashtool...
Flashed stock rom (ftf), then repeat the procedure for CM11 installation and it worked, thanx for help !

[HELP]Xperia SP stuck in cyanogenmod logo after update

Hello,
I flashed CM11 yesterday and everything went alright. This morning I noticed I had an update for it and proceed to do it.
After the instalation and optimizing all apps it asked me for my simcard PIN and after I unlocked the phone it just went back to the cyanogenmod logo over and over.
I tried to reboot phone but it didn't help.
I've tried to search for similar threads but since i'm a newbie (first time I ever flashed anything) to this I decided to create this thread.
What should I do?
Thank you!
try to use flashtool. google it on how to use flashtool or check other threads.
So I guess i have to flash a stock ROM with flashtool and do it all over again right?
And btw, any reason you guys might think It got stuck in bootloop after I updated CM11? I came from a fresh stock rom. I'm kinda scared it might happen again after the reinstall.
Can't you enter recovery to flash a nandroid backup? (If you have one)
If not, you have two options to choose from.
Fastboot or flash a kernel with CWM or TWRP.
ADB push a zip file of a ROM and flash that.
Flash an FTF file using flashtool and start all over again.
There are many reasons why you're stuck in bootloop at the moment.
With the info you provided, there's no way of telling what caused it for you.
Well, i flashed stock ROM with flashtool, installed CM11 and I had no problems.
Went to settings and OTA update was available. Downloaded it and installed it, stuck in loopboot again. I just can't figure out what's wrong. My phone has bootload unlocked.
Might just do it all over and not update, is that a problem?
Don't use OTA, just download and flash updates manually using recovery.
In the future, for your ease, if this happens again just wipe the phone very clean (cache, /system, /data etc except /boot) and then re-flash the CM zip that you have.
It is a good practise if you make a nandroid backup before flashing a newer version of zip, in case of breaks. Or, you can have Titanium Backup to backup your apps automatically (pro version) everyday, so that you can be ready if there will be something bad happen.

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.
