Install Sony Update Service and restore firmware or something like that, I forget the name. It will get you out of your bootloop at least. Don't know which version you'll get.

You need to do a full wipe when downgrading with Flashtool (wipe data, cache and appslog).

[Q] XZ does not boot anymore after CM 10.1

Hi!
I just got a Xperia Z from a friend who try to install CM 10.1.
Apparently the bootloader is unlocked, CWM installed. And after the installation of CM, the device does not boot. Sony logo appears after a press on the start button and it turns down instantly.
What did I already try:
- Flash of two official roms with flashtool. The process stops after the progression bar is one fourth filled but nothing tells that the processus failed. But same issue always here, does not boot.
- Re-locked the bootloader with BLU (flashtool) to restore the phone with using Sony updater service : I have an error : "No loader found on this device".
Need your help please
Have you made a factory reset and cache delete before flashing CM? I make this mistake often but with flashtool I can always install back the stock rom.

I'm pretty sure he did a wipe data and wipe cache before the installation.
Flashtool does not repair my phone after a flash of the stock rom, do not know why..
What can I do ?
Do some research about how fastboot works to flash the official XZ kernel through fastboot

Maybe try to flash the CM kernel and go into recovery and flash a other Rom.. I'm not sure if it works but haven't better idea.

yes i did. it was successful. i just got problems when fast boot flashing boot.img, idk what happened -_- huhu really want my sp back
In recovery (if you can enter that) perform a wipe /system and flash again This should fix most bootup issues.

im downloading stock .254 ftf now is it ok to flash it?
Yes via Flashtool.. After that you can (if you want) relock bootloader and restore TA partition to recieve the delayed update from Sony..

If you flashed the original firmware from SUS i dont think there is any change that it is a software thing ..... how about your bootloader status

[Q] 4.4 Updating help from rooted 4.3

Hey, so I'm on 4.3 10.4.B.0.569 and there is the 4.4 Kitkat update available (10.5.A.0.2300). It's a C6603 on Three UK (Cust num. 1270-6263). It is rooted via a Bootloader Unlock and has a CWM Based Custom Recovery installed. I cannot update via OTA since the stock recovery is gone, how do I flash back the stock recovery so I can do the OTA? I know it may be as simple as 'Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' but I don't have any IMG for it and can't find any. Any help? I don't want to factory reset and lose data, it'd be an effort to restore.
The Z doesn't have a stock recovery or even a recovery partition.
To update via OTA, you need to relock your bootloader. Make sure you flash a stock kernel before doing so.

Ah ok, well what's the best way to go from 4.3 Unlocked BL Rooted to 4.4 stock without losing data?
Probably just flash an FTF with Flashtool (choose one from the general section) without wiping data, then flash the latest advanced stock kernel and root again.

Please do not open new threads for something trivial like this.
It can be rooted, not directly but it's rootable.
You have million of threads with that subject.

What is THIS? > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711982 are you so lazy to find it?
3 steps > Downgrade to .534 via Flashtool, Install DualRecovery, then follow the steps from the link starting from the line How to Update to .757.
Still your Android 4.4 not rooted, then you are very lazy! :laugh:
