[Q] [Help] bootloop with no recovery - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash the new Kitkat ROM on my stock-rooted ROM but flashed it wrong (as my bootload is not unlocked as needed).
Now I'm stuck on bootloop when I see the new ROM's logo showing up for few seconds but reboot imediately..
My recovery is also gone.. I can't access it.. (I have my backup there, I only need to reach it)
I tried to use flashtool and adb but I can't control them..
How can I flash CWM recovery through any of them?
Please provide link and explain I'm freaking out here..
Thanks!

Use fastboot to flash... Just make sure your phone is in fastboot/flash mode first

If your on locked boot loader then you have to do a ftf/flash tool restore

still boot loop.
Hey buddy! I have same problem with you! I noticed that when i'm on stock rooted rom i always ended into bootloop going into recovery using either rom manager or quickboot. When i'm on custom rom like marvel, zeus etc. i also ended into bootloop going into recovery but after 1 hr or more, i will turn on the phone and then it will boot into recovery. I have a hard time flashing different custom rom because of this. Its like there is a time out before entering cwm recovery. It also happened to me everytime i used smartflash tool. It takes an hour before my phone got boot. 2 weeks ago someone upload a flashable V20s spain stock rom that has capable of entering cwm recovery after flashing the stock rom and luckily i manage to save it to my computer. I flash it using smartflash tool, after flashing it will reboot and then it will stock into bootloop. I will remove the battery and wait for atleast 1 hr and then i will turn on my phone and it will automatically boot into recovery. I do data factory reset, clear cache 1st then install superuser zip and then after that i flash the custom rom. I suggest that look for a flashable stock rom that has capable of entering cwm automatically after flashing and once you got the cwm do all you want but install first the superuser zip before flashing custom rom.
EDIT:
Here's the link buddy but i don't know if its available to download.

No, I don't have much time. just use the search function, you'll find sth First install a ROM of your choice. The boot.img is in the .zip of the ROM. Search down a guide and flash it via adb.

My phone died at recovery mode. I cannot use flash from zip card. Argh, I may come back to ugly-htc-sense. (
Do you know that you need to hold down power + volume down to access recovery? (must be done exactly after you power on your phone; b4 HTC logo)
Yes, I hold the volume down and power key, and then the boot launcher appears, then I select recovery and stuck at HTC logo (
Try flashing a new recovery image, then once you flash a new rom, boot into fastboot and flash the boot.IMG inside the Rom

What did you flash CWM with? Try using rom manager and it will do it all for u
Make sure you arent trying to flash the wrong rom or recovery for your device, the inc2 is vivow, the incS is vivo, what does your bootloader say at the top?

Stuck on boot animation. Please help

Hey.
I run the one leaked V20A version, it is 'j794 root'-ed and i unlocked the bootloader using some .bat file. (I am a noob, yes)
In the aim to switch to cyanogenmod i tried installing the CWM recovery using 'LG-Optimus-4XHD-Recovery-v1.1' but after rebooting it gets stuck on the boot animation.
All I can access is the 3e recovery mode, but I have no clue what to do from there.
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160488 but I don't even know what a busy box is.
Also, when trying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 I get stuck on step 6. No S/W Upgrade.
What should I do? Thank you very much in advance.

I guess you've hard bricked your device and it's possible that you can't recover it...... You should've read BEFORE you flashed that rom, it clearly states that it is for UNLOCKED bootloader ONLY!!!
Anyways, is it possible to get into the recovery? Or doesn't even the sony logo show up?
If you can't get into recovery, try to flash a stock kernel via flashtool, but idk though if that's possible at your phone anymore
Yep, i know it was stupid.
Im not possible to get into the recovery.
The Sony Logo doesnt show up, but when i try to turn it on, it vibrates,like it normal does.
Ive already written that when i try to flash a kernal it says debugging is off.
(See the Flashtool log)

No you tried to flash the stock ftf file, I meant that you should try to flash the stock kernel. Simply extract it from the file, or search for it here on xda, I'm pretty sure it is somewhere
Which file?
And how do i flash stock kernal, please explain im really new in android.
Please give me some more advice
Try searching development forums, there are some ftf files that can be downloaded for you to try. Do not cross flash by the way, just a reminder, be sure its for your model.

Assuming that you are running windows.
1. Download android sdk to get fastboot and adb
2. Put your phone into the fastboot mode and install drivers. Your notification diod should be blue when connected to the PC.
3. Download stockkernel.zip from this post and extract it in the same folder as fastboot.exe is located.
4. Open command line in that folder.
5. Type: fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.sin.
6. Flash the ftf
This should fix it

Have you unlocked bootloader and flash new kernel maybe?

This does not make sense.
Please tell us if you had installed a recovery, which one and if you have unlocked the bootloader
right bascially before the cyanogen mod boot sequence there used to be a stock sony one before it, now there is just a black screen then cyanogenmod one then the phone boots up fine but the if i try and boot into recovery it wont work and it just boots up the phone normally again, and yes unlocked boot loader and i have phillz clockwork mod recovery installed
If you have CM installed then the recovery is in the kernel, so you should still be able to get into it
Try using fastboot to flash just the kernel again
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Looks to me like android quick boot is enabled.

Is that even available on CM and if so, how would you disable it?
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. I tried flashing a lot of boot.imgs via fastboot, but none of them seem to be working. The LED goes orange but the screen stays blank.
What ROM are you running?
Which kernels did you flash?

I don't know about the OP, but I am running CM11 from CyanogenMod.org and I have flashed their boot.img (which contains the kernel, for as far as I understand).
Look in developer options under root access to see if quick boot is enabled

There appears to be no such setting there.
I ended up using FlashTool to flash the official firmware, flashed DoomLord's recovery from there and rooted from that recovery. No more CM11 for me as it's just trouble. The lastest official firmware has more features than when this phone launched, so more than happy with this working setup!
I have a similar problem. I have installed cwm recovery and I checked that it is installed from the Rom manager app. I have stock firmware 4.4.4 . When I try to boot into recovery mode my phone boots as normal with the sony logo and then the xperia logo. I have tried many things,apps to boot it into recovery mode but it boots into normal mode. I want to install cyanogenmod. I tried to install it through rom manager but at boot it boots normally. What could be the reason?
How did you install cmw?
If you want to install cm, then fastboot the kernel from the update.zip then enter recovery and flash the update.zip

I installed it through one of the tutorials here on xda. It was dual recovery. When I check in rom manager it says cwm and twrp installed. The problem is entering into recovery. I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing the volume button, by using recovery boot option in rom manager but nothing seems to work. I have cwm and twrp installed.
I just want to boot into recovery mode.
Do you get the double vibration when you boot up?
If so keep pressing and letting go and pressing again the volume + button when the double vibration happens

Yes, I get the double vibration when the phone boots. I tried what you said ,it just vibrates and boots as normal. Isn't there some log or some info I can provide you to see what's messed up. I tried to repair my phone through sony companion but it says that your phone software is modified so can't go further.
I want to go into recovery mode so I can install cyanogen mod on my z1. I have rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed dual recovery but can't go into recovery mode.

Can you post the guide for me which you used to flash the phone?
Flash the boot.img from the update.zip for CM using fastboot. Then enter recovery and flash the update.zip
