Hello guys. I am on iHackers 4.0 beta rom with LB. It's running perfectly but recently i tried to upgrade xzdualrecovery and i guess i made an error and now im stuck in bootloop. I can only see sony logo and I can't enter recovery and there is no vibration or led lighting up. Any ideas on how to fix this without losing all the data as I didn't backup anything? Thanks!
There is no way to fix it without any backup.
Yes, flash a stock FTF but exclude data

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

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..

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 ?

Yes, it was a stupid mistake.
Locked bootloader. Couple of minutes ago, I just flashed in the XZDualRecovery and then flashed the kernel of TrinityVengeanceRaptorX™ HD 1.3 . After that, I made a serious mistake: I FORGOT TO FLASH THE ROM AND PRESSED "Reboot System".
So now, when I press the power button, my Z1 merely vibrates for once, sometimes with the red light blinking for a while. Yeah, it bricked. Not even show the bootlogo.
Before I flash that kernel, I had backed up my whole system, every partition, so is it possible that I could re-flash the recovery and then restore everything?
Or I have to use a ftf to wipe out everything entirely?

It's not a hardbrick
Just flash stock kernel via flashtool (fastboot) then xz recovery and restore your backup
Last time i flashed mtk cwm as kernel on my z1:fingers-crossed:

yeah, i just figured out how to flash a stock kernel from stock ftf using flashtool.

extract ftf as zip then flash the kernel file in fastboot
Did I just HARD BRICKED my phone?
I decided to flash Hordor kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/kernel-hodorkernel-t2865648) to get kexec-hardboot patch to test lollipop on my Xperia Z. I saved a TWRP backup of this before I flashed kernel (hardor zip that's 18mb). When I flashed the kernel from TWRP and reboot, screen goes black and no more Sony logo, no LED, but the power button does vibrate the phone. Holding Vol UP and Power doesn't do anything.
Prior to flashing, I was on Xperia C6602 KitKat with eXistenZ Rom 3.5.0 (based on 10.5.A.0.283) Locked Bootloader. Used TWRP 2.7.0.1 (not 100% sure with that number, I remember 2.7)
When I hold down power button, it vibrates, then 2 seconds later vibrates again like I was trying to turn on the phone.
I need help... And I can't test on flashtool because I'm not near a computer.
You flashed a custom kernel on a locked bootloader device. You can't do that. Use Flashtool to flash the kernel from a stock FTF and that should fix it.
Edit: Here's a kernel only FTF you can try flashing - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396241
If that doesn't work, you might have to flash a full FTF.

Alright, that kernel only ftf solved part of my problem. Now instead of a flashing red dot and phone vibrating loop, I'm stuck in flashmode (but fixable when I flash ftf)
Huge thanks for clarifying my issue. I'll post back when I hit into something or completely solve my problem.
Happy to help.

Question, I had a few pretty important things on my Internal Storage that I don't want to lose. Is there a way to save them? Still downloading ftf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6602-10-5-1-0-283-t2876962) at the moment.

When flashing, make sure that nothing is checked in the wipe section. That should ensure that your data is safe.

Dang, very fast response.
:good::good::good:
Thanks!
You're welcome.
It's always good to make sure you have backups of important stuff on your phone, especially if you're going to flash things to it. Just some advice.
THREAD SOLVED!
Thanks for getting me out of this hot mess @kingvortex !
:good::good::good::good::good::good:
Glad you got it sorted.
