Ok guys I've done a big mistake and I can't fix it, I need your help!!!
I flashed stock 4.2.2 with flashtool, everything gone allright. I also rooted and installed dual recovery. Ok, everything fine
Then, I donwloaded 4.3 stock and went to recovery to flash, I do a factory reset but I didn't do a backup. When I flashed the zip in the recovery it show me a error. I had another zip in the pc so I turned off the phone, put the SD in the pc and put the zip there. Then I turned on the phone and I can't go to recovery it just stays at the sony logo and doesn't even turn off!!!
Help, what can I do??!?!?

Just flash a stock rom 4.2,4.3 using flashtool and if your sony bootloader is locked you can not use recovery on 4.3.

You can not root stock 4.3 with a locked BL that rom is for a rooted xperia. To do it you must flash back to 4.2 and root again install recovery and install a custom 4.3 rom not stock.

Hi everybody.
I have a problem
I followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363&page=32 to get CWM for locked Bootloaders.
Everything was fine, it worked, I did already a backup with the CWM. Then I rebooted to the OS, went home, wanted to reboot to recovery to try to flash a custom stock based ROM, but now I can not get anymore into the recovery. Neither with booting up and pressing the volume key, nor with titanium backup and boot to recovery option.
I tried to reinstall CWM using the script, but no success to get into CWM. See also the screenshot attached from krabappel2548's script.
Any Ideas??

I don't know if that is the solution. I suppose files are gone or missing or anything like that? I wrote to the dev a PM to read this thread. I hope he can help us.
Just tested: Same issue with TWRP recovery....
I have a locked Bootloader (unlocking is not allowed), an rooted with the easy rooting script. Sony Xperia Z
I read from a user that it also has something to do with a file conflicting with the rooting for locked bootloaders, my XZ is in for repair now, but I'll take a look as soon as I have it back

Just to inform everybody who may have the same problem:
I reseted the Z via sony update service (also did a FW upgrade), rooted with latest easy root and installed then CWM for locked bootloaders.
Now it seems working fine. was able to boot into recovery several times.
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?

Hmm, not sure. Does the computer recognise it when you plugged it in? I'm looking in to some guides for you. :good:

Sound like you have a bootstall.
thankyou for your help, ive managed to fix it. the ftf file i was trying to flash was for some reason incomplete, so i re downloaded it and it has now been recognised by flashtool. i am now installing purestock minimal and doomkernal and stuff. thank you for your help. i really needed it
Hello. I did all the steps in DooMLoRD's post, but there is something wrong. The phone is freezing all the time and really slow. After this 1 message appears "System UI has stopped" and then it works better, but when i try to start a game... "(name of the game) has stopped". I ask other guys, but they dont have problens like that on this ROM.
Can you tell me why is that? Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe your phone before installing? Try to install the DooMLoRD's rooted kernel and do a wipe in Recovery. Then, install the ROM again.

Actually first i have installed the ROM and then kernel (is like that in the instructions)
Is it posible to have that problem if i unlocked the bootloader or root the phone wrong?

As long as your bootloader is unlocked root is not important for flashing this ROM. And if you already managed to install custom kernel (for example for aosp based rom) then you successfully unlocked your bootloader. Maybe as the previous post said, try to install DooMLoRD's kernel (The old one) then reboot recovery, wipe, flash 4.3 zip and it should work

I have installed this one: SP-4.3_leak_256-DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel-v1 Is that the new one ?
I found this: SP-DooMKernel-v03 and SP-DooMKernel-v04
Is that the older kernels ? Because i try the kernel in the ZIP with the ROM and there is no recovery...
Guys....
Im trying to install leaked 4.3 but have issue
1.flashed .254 using flash tool
2.Rebooted
3.Flashed Advanced kernel via fastboot
4.Rebooted
but when i turn on the phone after that,it vibrates once and then there is no display.
so i flashed .254 stock kernal but that didnt fix the issue
As of now im on .254 stock ROM with bootloader locked again
Please explain me step by step process to get this done with 4.3 plzzz
Please note that my phone even though was c5302 always displayed as c5303 in PC companion but it isnt now.

Okay! Do it this way
Unlock ur Bootloader
Flash stock .254 ftf
Then root and install cwm by locked bootloader method
( by installing previous firmware kernel ftf, root by doomloard kit, install cwm of locked bootloader then flash ur latest. 254 kernel ftf)
Now just flash the 4.3 rom through Cwm without Wiping anything

Of course, cause u havent flashed the rom yet! You only flash the kernel, not the rom.
Now do it exactly as you did before, but after flashing the kernel and rebooting, tap the volume uo button continuously until you boot into cwm. And then you can flash the rom through cwm.
Dont forget to copy the zip in your ext sdcard before flashing the kernel!
Cheers.
I don't have the Take Screenshot option in the power menu. Is that normal ? Is it disabled by default or something ?

Hi, I am having an issue where my phone is boot looping and I cannot enter recovery using power + volume down
My phone is the C6906 from Rogers and locked bootloader
I was on RockZ1LP using the DualRecovery rooted and working fine, I decided I wanted to go back to stock to hand the phone off to my gf since I have been using my note edge for a while now.
I downloaded the stock FTF and flashed it via flash tool. After that I haven't been able to boot successfully and have tried many different firmware versions with no luck.
I'm convinced if I can simply do a factory wipe it should work but I cannot get into the factory recovery. Anyone have experience with this?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Your phone was rooted and custom recovery installed, why didn't you flash a pre rooted zip with custom recovery. That would have done the job.

What's bad about root? As long as your girlfriend doesn't use a app that needs root privileges all should be fine.
Anyway good to hear you achieved what you wanted.

Some phones root can mess with OTA updates and whatnot, even snapchat looking towards blocking root users so I just wanted pure stock since we are long distance and I can't be there to take her through step by step every time work needs to be done.
Ok so i got problems with using layers manager after applying a theme on my stock rom and later i thought that to go back i should restore my nandroid backup from my twrp so i tried to do that after wiping my cache system and data from twrp i connected my otg but for that moment it wasnt showing my backup but it was showing earlier before wiping so i thought i should reboot into recovery and try again and now its just not booting into recovery or the fastboot mode. Im so pissed its just the sony and xperia logo and after that is just a black screen without any input.
Guys please help me get out of this please its the only phone i have , please.
Thanks in advance and one more if you get me out of this,.
Your phone is soft bricked.. Try using flashtool to flash a new stock Rom on.. In general flashtool will recognize your phone when fastboot will not.. And don't use layers coz it doesn't work in stock Rom..

Put a stock ftf in the C/user/your name/.flashtool/firmware folder. Open flashtool and connect your phone holding vol down as you connect to usb.. Your led should turn green meaning you are in flasmode. Once that's done, click on the flash button in flashtool, select the ftf for your phone and select flash.. Once done, install dual recovery by NUT if your ftf isn't rooted etc yet.. Reboot and your done
If you want to flash CM, your bootloader must be unlocked bro.. Also you must have access to your ext SD card as CM need to go to that to flash onto your phone through recovery using fastboot..

Thanks my phone is booted after using flashtool but i wanted to know what is better stock or cm ?
That's always a matter of taste and an unlocked bootloader.. I personally couldn't care less about the few things that stop working ie bravia engine etc once bootloader is open.. My bootloader has been open from the day I got the phone leaving me free to flash anything a vailable.. But there are others who think stock is ok.. If your bootloader is open, you have the joy of testing all the marshmallow Roms as they are pretty stable.. If you like layers check out tesla or rro.. But please don't try layers on stock Rom again..
