Hi to you all!
I want to apologize for my English and for any mistake, considering that this is my 1st post here on xda!
In the past I've flashed some official roms, using flashtool, I've unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone several times, but this is all the experience I'd had before I ruined my phone.
What I tried was to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175768
I had already cwm on my phone so I did copy ACID zip file on my hone sd card and then I entered cwm and flashed that zip. It was all ok, then the phone restarted and after displaying "sony" and "xperia", it displayed those curb lines moving (I hope you get it), then restarted and doing the same steps over and over.
What I tried was to enter cwm again and wipe cache/data, wipe cache by dalvik and wipe partitions...of course with no result at all.
I tried to repair the phone using PC Companion and SUS but both say I can't because my phone hasn't original android.
Then I thought about installing CM 11, but it wasn't possible because the phone doesn't start so I could copy boot.img into sd card.
My last idea is to flash official 4.3 from sony with flashtool.
My question is: does anybody know what I could do if flashing official 4.3 fails too?
Also, if someone could help me what to do step by step to install cm11 I'll be very grateful. I've downloaded cm11.zip but all tutorials say that I have to copy boot.img on sd card which I can't. Is there any other method?
then restarted and doing the same steps over and over.

So you mean you get in a bootloop.
Download 4.3 here on XDA(no matter which region) and read this about flashtool in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153167
With CM I do not have experince.

Thanks for response. I'd already done this and I had luck.
The problem is that after that I tried to flash pure x audio and I got the same error. This time I had a backup and it was easy to return to stock firmware, but I can't understand why I get the boot loop every time I try to flash a zip with cwm

- Error while flashing?
- Download the zip again.
- Try an other soundmod

I have the same problem. Whenever I try flashing acid audio or fidelity rom or any other zip. It gets stuck in a bootloop.
After so much of brainstorming I.finally unlocked the.bootloader and rooted my c6602 so please help me out

Earlier today i decided i wanted to try cyanogenmod for my xperia z. I follow this guide: cyanogenmod(dot)org/w/Install_CM_for_yuga
When i finnished it and rebooted my phone it stopped at the xperia animation and rebooted again and again and again... I tried to flash the boot.img once more, but it only got worse. Now, only the image that says "Sony" popped up and i couldn't turn off the phone.
Now, i can't turn on my phone to manage files on my SDcard or do anything with it. I have downloaded flashtool and downloaded all the drivers needed to flash my phone. I have also tried the DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit guide. Nothing seems to work.
I feel like i've really messed up my phone. Can you help me?
I managed to get into recovery mode and install cyanogenmod from the zip-file that i stored on the SD-card. But it won't get past the booting screen.

Follow install instructions in specific ROM thread. Risk is that your /system folder are corrupted thanks to flashing over existing ROM with no previous wipe..

Thanks. I looked into mounts and storage menu in recovery and noticed that system was unmounted. I mounted it and booting went fine. I have managed to start the phone now.
can someone please help me, its an emergency. i have stock 4.3 with unlocked bootloader.
i wanted to root it so i used flashtool to flash boot.img like it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573921
but when i flashed it i flashed it with the wrong seting, i chose select kernel to flash by accident then used that to flash the boot.img also i didnt put the superSU zip on my sd card before hand.
i then re flashed the boot.img with the "select system to flash" option and it installed the recovery fine.
so now i can boot into recovery but the phone will not come on as normal. i am just stuck at the sony screen.
i then went to try an re flash original stock ftf, but that is not being recognised by flashtool for some reason.
please help me
thank you

Power down the device for at least 10 minutes.
Get back in to recovery and tick "wipe cache partition" option and select it.
Go to the recovery main menu and reboot the device “reboot system now” option.
Try this..
I did that too. I also wiped dalvik and tried to reboot the phone. It was just staying on the sony logo. How long does the sony logo stay there after s boot like that? Also I dont understand why flashtool is not recognising the stock ftf files?

As the title suggests, I rooted my phone, unlocked BL and was about to flash CM for Honami, which is Z1, but the flashing of the ROM was stopped because it recognizes my device, a Z1, as a "togari", a Z Ultra. I find this quite odd as I have practically no idea why it does that.
I also tried flashing "togari" CM ROM, but that also fails.
Any fixes for this?

if you are sure that you have an z1... then just remove the device check in the updater script (within the zip...) it is in the beginning... cant really remember how it looks but ... search google perhaps.. then it will flash weird enough ... my s also identifies as an sl... but that is from the build prop

Haha, yes. I google for it and tried to simply delete the device check in update-script, but it didn't work for me. I believe the issue is in my recovery, which is not a 4.4 kitkat recovery. The CWM-recovery I have at the moment is 6.0.3.6 and I believe that is the reason for my issues. I have had no luck trying to find a 4.4 kitkat recovery... any tips here?

I tried this recovery too, without any luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49966299
To begin with I got Status 7 error, which is now gone.. I found a tutorial to flash SlimRom for Z1, which is android 4.4.2: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-4-4-2-kitkat-sony-xperia-z1-available-via-slimkat-rom-1432702
However, I was only able to make emergency calls, no cellular at all. I flashed CM through the same method and everything I tried worked, except cellular. Thus, I had to wipe it and install stock Sony firmware.
After that I tried flashing CM the "normal" way through recovery and everything installed as usual, but when I push reboot to reboot the system, the phone simply shuts off. Even if I press the powerbutton to turn it on, it only vibrates and nothing else happens. Again, I flashed stock firmware to be able to use the phone again...
I am very confused about this, because it does not give any errors. It simply does not work :l

just copied from the CM11 dev fora...
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot
for update just flash rom zip from recovery
Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them.

Hi,
I had Prime HD 9 on my X8 with stock kernel. I took a backup from my device with CWM 4 and then I had installed the last version of Xperia Soul rom by FoRRoX by a zip file. finally I didn't like it and decided to restore my previous rom, but I had forget to format Data and Cache before restoring. So, after that my phone sucks at startup Sony Ericsson logo and I cannot do anything with that and my device doesn't charge.
I don't know what is the reason and that isn't my first time that I change my rom and I don't know what I can do? I have tried to flash my phone with Androxyde Flash Tool, but I couldn't find a .ftf firmware. Can you help me about this problem ??

Hi,
I'm trying to get AOSPA4+ (paranoid android 4.2) on my Sony Xperia Z1 (c6903).
I followed this guide:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714333
But when I tried to format my system to factory through TWRP, it gave some mounting errors.
Code:
Formatting cache using make_ext4fs function.
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount internal storage.
I already tried going to mounting option manually through TWRP, that didn't work. However, I peeked at the file manager and it seems that '/ ' has some folders and data, but in sdcard and external_sd, nothing's there.
Suggestions to get around the formatting issue? Did it already format when I unlocked the bootloader? I'm guessing I can't format because when I flashed boot.img it removed the OS, therefore no debug mode. Or something...(idk)
I don't know if is necessary to flash just the boot.img from the zip file to get recovery and working rom, maybe this make some issues. You can try in different way, flash back a stock FTF and wipe everything (to get rid of issues), then install TWRP from PC and flash the whole .zip Rom.
omg what did i do??

Press and hold power and volume up button until it vibrates 3 times
then just flash a stock ftf from the mega collection thread

That's not a big problem, just flash the stock kernel from ftf.
It would be better if you flashed the whole ftf so you can start from a clean phone.

WOW it worked like a charm! Thank you so much (adding + rep for saving my phone).
All I need to do is downgrade to 4.2, get root, upgrade back, then flash paranoid android's zip through flashtool? Or TWRP and copy boot.img?
You could, but here is an easier way
flash a ftf ending 534 for your phone
instal dual recovery
flash your choice of rom
(comment deleted, disregard this post)
Being unlocked makes no difference, it just means you can flash custom kernels as well
PS
So many people unlocking their boots and not really knowing what that means..

I think the OP in that rom thread is saying to install boot.img first to get Recovery, but I will try in different way, use TWRP which you probably will install from pc after you flashed stock .534 FW, when you are in recovery you are ready to go, wipe everything first then install the whole .zip files and gaps in sequnce like the OP is telling. Done, you should have the rom working on your phone.

I will try this. I did something similar to that, except I didn't format my system on recovery. This led to some error that I don't really remember, and then my whole problem came up again, no boot, boot-looping at the 3 second, w/e.
I'll try formatting first before installing, hopefully that will resolve the conflicts that I had. Thanks for your suggestion.
