Phone bricked

Hey guys.. i think i have bricked my phone
I have the c6602 model and have a unlockable bootloader but left it locked. I have rooted it using goroh_kuns method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
then put CWM for locked bootloaders on it using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
then flashed this stock based kernel ROM through CWM without wiping the old one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175903
but now my phone starts up, and reboots automatically, resulting in a loop. I can not go into the CWM recovery anymore because you have to do it through pc everytime while your phone is on.
Personally i think its Superuser from the previous rom and SuperSU from the new rom mixing up and resulting in the loop boot
Can somebody help please..?

Did you try to enter to CWM recovery by pressing volume key while booting to see if the recovery is working

yes it does not work, the led becomes blue after holding power + volume up it vibrates thrice x 2 then i continue volume up and the led turns blue but nothing really happens, i think its the download mode?

If you have the blue led working this means that it has the fastboot mod working - press VOLUME UP + PLUG INTO PC(not power)
try to switch off the device then press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting to pc = flash mod
If you have one of theese working you can always repair your device

ive done the same thing and am stuck on sony screen i can get into flash mode or fast boot but have tried installing a stocck rom but it just says waiting files any help would be great

[Q] Can't enter recovery mode

Hi,
After updating to 4.2.2 I rooted my Xperia by ibtimes.co.uk/articles/484784/20130630/xperia-z-root-android422-jellybean-locked-bootloader.htm manual. And after successful rooting and installing some root apps I decided to install CWM recovery to backup my system. I installed the recovery following androidteen.com/sony-xperia-z-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-with-locked-bootloader manual. Everything went nice and smooth and I entered the recovery mode (by pressing Vol Up while LED was green during booting) and made a backup (btw is that a nandroid backup?). The problem is that I can enter the recovery only once after "flashing" the phone with CWM. Any combination of volume keys, power key or LED will not let me enter it again later. Can anyone guide me how to enter to recovery mode anytime or fix this problem so I can use my backup if needed?
Thank you in advance!

Hey, i use to have this issue with the Z so i just installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 that should always let u into recovery, when the phone vibrates and the led goes green hold up. Yeah a backup is a nandroid backup. If you cant get that to work ill try help out further.

When exiting recovery did you answer the question with 'yes'? If so that's the problem. You have to answer no or have to flash a patch by doomlord.

There is no question when I exit recovery. The only option to exit recovery is reboot now (atleast I guess). What patch are you talking about? Could you provide me some link pls.
Well the dualboot is definitely last resort but I would rather fix this CWM issue :/

Yeah this happened to me also, you need to use the dual recovery instead

I don't see the point of a dual recovery. That recovery itself already contains CWM and add TWRP. What would I need 2 recoveries? There should be a way how to make CWM work somehow. Hmmm :/

Nobody seems to be maintaining the older releases of the recoveries for locked bootloaders. This is a known issue with them on 4.2.2 firmwares.
Just install the dual recovery and use only CWM recovery. You will literally notice no difference.

I've got the same problem.
so... I installed XZ Dual Recovery AND the zip file.... Flashed the Honami port (eXistenZ Ultra V1) and flashed the Dual recovery at the same time ( just as it says to do)
Now i can enter TWRP no problem, but when i push volume up it just sends the LED purple, and stays on the sony logo...
any one else having this problem???

Thanks so much for posting this, worked like a charm!

Hi, I also have some issues with getting into recovery mode. Ive bought this handheld not long ago, and deceided to unlock the bootloader and root it, than flash a custom ROM. Unlocked with code received from Sony, rooted with towelroot. I transferred the .zip to the sd, but somehow Im not able to put the device into recovery mode. The LED doesnt light up when I turn the device on. I push the vol button, but no effect. Tried apps to reboot into recovery mode, but the phone everytime reboots normaly...

Yeah my LED never turns green, it seems to turn a purplish color after the Sony logo comes up.
This is so frustrating, is there a tool similar to odin that I can use to flash back to stock?

[CWM Recovery 6.0.2.8] Locked BootLoader for 244 firmware

I just fixed the CWM 6.0.2.8 startup issue. It's just a minor change to the chargemon.sh script. I've repacked the original zip file. Just unzip it and run the install.bat again.
Requirements:
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. It works on 244 firmware. I'm not sure if this modded script works also in old 310 firmware.
Proper procedures to activate CWM recovery on boot:
1. Power on the phone
2. Wait until you see the Sony logo
3. Wait until you see the bottom LED turns green
4. Press either volume up or down once
5. If successful, the bottom LED should turn purple
6. CWM recovery should run in a matter of seconds
** If you're unable to enter recovery and the phone just reboot after pressing the volume button, then you probably need to apply the remount-reboot fix. After this fix is applied, then run the recovery install script again **

Thanks. Working fine.

In my case(had almost the same problem) what helped is to repair my phone using SEUS...
Simply I kept connected my usb and kept pushing down the Volume - button then try to repair using seus...
I did this because otherwise it won't recognize your phone and won't repair it.The bad is that you need to start from 0 again

You started from Locked bootloader I think?
I had same issue with PureXSP. I forgot to flash the 266 kernel. Try to boot into flashmode by holding the volume down and flash with Flashtool the kernel..

You can force reset your phone by opening the back pushing a little button near the bottom with a pen, wait for three vibrations then turn the phone on

Make sure your Xperia SP is Switched off. If pushing back button doesn't help then keep the back yellow button pressed for sometime and along with that keep pressing volume down button and you will boot into CWM Recovery
After that either reboot or shut down the phone and just simply reflash it.
Hope I helped

The yellow button part has already been mentioned...
Furthermore, who says he/her has recovery installed? He/her didn't so your suggestion is rather worthless at this time.
I notice you're trying to help allot of people lately, but try doing so by giving correct instructions rather than telling people what you would do to your own phone in similar situations.
First question should be if he/her has installed any custom ROM or kernel.
If he/her unlocked her bootloader or not and if a recovery is already installed.
The answer to the above questions will decide on how to approach this problem.

If you see properly you can see that he has already been advised to flash 4.1 stock kernel THAT MEANS HE HAS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and if someone has unlocked Bootloader he would definitely have roott access and recovery installed (common assumption)
