Yesterday,I rooted my Z with b4nary's method with locked bootloader.I flashed cwm recovery for locked bootloader.All OK.
When i tried to flash krappabel's mod for black statusbar and buttons I screwed it.They dissaperead.
I didn't make a backup.Nothing. Installed the iphone touch buttons somehow(because no back button)
Then I tried to manually change the SystemUI.apk.Succes.
When i tried to change the permissions my phone reboots and doesn't let me.
Any solution?please please please! :crying:

dude i had the same problem, download this
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
turn off your phone and put the micro usb in your phone ( dont connect to pc yet ). start the update service and choose your phone ( normal xz , not japanese version!! ). it will say u need to press volume down while phone is off and after u keep pressing down put the usb in your PC. IT will detect and wipe and install stock rom.. ).. tell me if it works
Do you have unlocked bootloader??
If yes use this http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/

What's the error cause the image is unreadable.
When you connected the phone in flash mode(vol Down+usb) did you installed the drivers?
Usually when you click on flash with flashtool and you select the firmware,you have to wait till the pop up tells you to connect the phone.

Ok so I was attempting to flash this Rom through CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208
I had flashed my XZ C6603 already with this Rom so I know that it works correctly.
Anyways I decided to reflash my phone, did all the wipes through CWM before flashing my phone. While attempting to flash my phone the status kept hanging @ "formatting device", it took too long, specially compared to the first time I flashed the device, so I decided to abort (restart).
Now the phone won't go pass the Sony logo, turned the device on and off already, but that didn't help.
I downloaded Flashtool v0.9.10.1, but the thing is that when I hook up my phone to my computer, my phone isn't even being seen, so when I start Flashtool, it just says "31/021/2013 17:21:25 - INFO - Device disconnected".
Is there any way to restore this, or does this mean RMA?

Lets go in steps :
Does it boot to recovery?
If so try, formatting system partition and booting.

Re: [Q] Soft brick or Hard BRICK?
Try to repair using update service or emma(if you have unlocked bootloader).
Edit:It seems the recovery we got still not stable enough,that's why i didn't flash any custom rom,even i didn't tried any recovery.

I'm using the repair service at the moment, will report back with the results.
Edit: The repair service fixed it for me, thanks.
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.
Use flashtool to flash a stock ftf firmware.

It just ends up vibrating for three times and restarting back to Sony screen?
Weird this should turn off the phone.
Is the phone plugged to a usb?
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Ok thanks I have it turned off now. How do I flash with it off with flashtools?
Download flashtool from development section,and an ftf stock firmware.
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.

I don't know if there is an easier way cause i didn't tried the recovery available.
All you can do is doing all steps again and install the recovery than restore your backup.

and i decided ,somehow that it was a good idea to try and install the jellybean 4.2.2
firmware on my device so i entered the install from sdcard menu without even thinking much about it i located the .zip file and installed it and clicked reboot and then absolutley nothing but the boot vibration went off and the screen stays black and it is stuck here . so i used to old powr+ vol up for 3-15 secs and waited for the double vibration and still nothing happens .so im stuck.
sorry for the long post but i`m in a panic as this phone is fairly new about 1 month old and i had already rooted and unlocked boot loader on it so .i hope the info helps you to help me
please respond asap :fingers-crossed:

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

I am 99% sure it has water damage and is broken.
However, if you have not unlocked the bootloader do a software repair using PCComapnion.
If you have unlocked the bootloader or that does not work, flash a stock FTF using flashtool. Make sure you wipe everything.
Hve tried flash using flashtool and wipe anything but nit work. Still bootloop.
But I can enter recovery mode and no restart almost 30 minutes.
Will try using PC kompanion. Will rrport again later..
Eh but my device is unlocked :banghead:

Ok,. My phone has relock the bootloader then repair using PC kompanion succes but stil bootloop after xperia logo
But doesnt problem if enter recovery mode.
My phone has anomally :
- If I inserted the battery the phone just turn on but in bootloop condition
- If I take out the battery and plug in the charger, the phone also turn on but only sony logo after that restar again and again and again
I think have problem in electricity circuit in my phone
Sent from my ST23i using Tapatalk 2
Try flashing a stock FTF using flashtool.
Get the FTF from the all in one thread in the Q&A section and download flashtool from the first thread in the dev section
EDIT
Are you sure PCCompanion flashed your phone? If it did you should no longer have recovery.
Nah.. I mean that recmod no problem no restart. Before I flashed stock FW and relock bootloader.
I just confuse why my phone can boot to recmod and no problem but cannot load the OS

I know what you mean, but if you did repair your phone and follow the advice I gave then you should not have recovery.
Did you follow my advice? Did you follow my further advice and flash a FTF in flashtool?

Sorry if this isn't the right way of asking this.
I was on .205 firmware I've rooted it using toowelroot way and installed a recovery. Then I tried to install CM11 nightly from today.
I turned on the phone on recovery.
Made a backup.
Install from zip
got a message os "installation complete press any key"
rebooted.
phone never turned itself on
Tried to turned it on but it only vibrates.
Did I brick my phone?
help please.
---------------------------------------------
Did a bit of search. I'm using SUS to fix the problem. I guess custom ROM's aren't for me.
What I'm doing:
*Started SUS
*Connected phone while holding Volume - to the PC
Now I'm waiting for SUS to "fix" my mistake.
