Hello in need of some serious help my xperia z was rooted but with locked bootloader i tried to flash a app thru Teamwin it sent me into a boot loop so now all the phone does is flash team win then turn off and on it has a solid purple light any help will be appreciated and i will make a donation thru paypal for anyone that can help!!
Seems can be fixed very easy:
Either fire up PCC and choose repair phone.
Else download Flashtool, disable force driver signing and install the following drivers from Flashtool:
- Xperia Z
- Fastboot
- Flash mode
Then download a ftf with stock firmware, and Flash it using Flashtool.
Et voilá, your phone is back with the livings.
If you can't find a ftf, just ask me, i'll upload mine tomorrow.

While phone is in usb bootloader mode, type in cmd "fastboot erase Cache" and it should return to normal.
Btw: have you flashed anything that would make this happen? Like kernal or mods?

I ended up doing it thru Sony companion didn't want to but the flash tool would get stuck on installing and never prompt for flash mode im rooted again but woth the locked bootloader as I dont want to lose bravia this all happened because I tried to install a sound mod that sent the device into a boot loop and when I tried to restore in teamwin thats when things got worse and phone would power on and then off

Read the op on how to install whatever mod you want to flash and make sure it's a flashable zip through recovery. The sound mod might have done it if you didn't install it right. I don't think you need a flash tool to flash the mod and you could have done it through your phone's recovery.

well.. if you can enter the recovery mode, you can clean flash again the rom, make sure you wipe factory data, partition chace and dalvik chace, and then flash it, and then flash gapps.. i've been there in that situation manytimes, even worse..! try as many as rom suits you.. for now im using unoficial carbon rom for xperia zr.. hope it would help

I guess that you have flashed a custom kernel and tried to make a normal boot ...Xperia ZR won't boot normaly when you flash a custom kernel!!Just enter to recovery mode,flash root files,and then flash the stock kernel and the device will boot normaly
use flashtool and flash a fresh .tft

This is my first time using XDA. I can't post this in development threads, so I'm putting it here.
I am rooted, bootloaded locked, and have been using Existenz. When I updated to Existenz 4.0, (cleared cache and dalvic cache) I got a bootloop. It says SONY then that fades away. If I charge it, the bottom light glows red. If I connect to computer in flashmode (volume down) the bottom glows green. I have TWRP and CWM but don't know how to boot into them, as the thing my xperia sp normally does (bottom cycles through three colors, during which you hit a button to boot into recovery) isn't happening. I need urgent help. Thanks in advance

Thanks, but what would I flash from flashtool (could you link me to a file??). I really have no idea how to get into a recovery. I can't even charge the phone without the bottom glowing green for a bit, then it getting stuck back into the bootloop.

it will show that your device is connected in fastboot mode
click the flash button
select fastboot
than click on flash kernel to flash
specify the path for the file
click ok and your recovery will be installed..
(extract the file first)
all the best bro..!!! :good:
Do not flash this kernel if you are bootloader locked as you said you were.
Just download a full 205 FTF and start from scratch with towelroot and recovery from dev section. Then reflash existenz.
Thanks

Thanks, do I flash the .205 ftf through flashtool? Do I clear data or cache or dalvic or what? Sorry but I need the specifics . I also thought towelroot only worked for kitkat, are you sure it works for xperia sp .205?
Yes flash through flashtool, just make sure the TA partition isnt selected and then flash using default settings.
Yes towelroot works, ive used it loads of times myself.

Do i need root to flash recovery?
No,recovery works independently of your rom, and the thing you root is the rom.

On the latest [NUT] dual recovery installer. There is a option to install on non rooted ROM
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
Well i have a Sony Xperia z1 c6903 with a locked bootloader and i tried to install a custom ROM this one "DstrikerZ1KaiROM_SP007".
When i finish install this rom my phone enter in a logo-bootloop and now cant enter in recovery mode so i cant install a stock rom again ( i wiped user data, cache, dalvik before install it).
I tried some methods to revive my phone and no works:
* Flash a ftf firmware "C6903_14.5.A.0.270_Customized_SG_Light.ftf" with flashtool in flash mode.
* I tried to install recovery image via fastboot "TWRP.img" with "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4".
* I tried to unlock my bootloader with flashtool but my phone is not able to unlock bootloader.
* Also i tried Emma software and it cant help me cause my bootloader is locked. sad history.
So i think my phone is hard-brick but in forums says if u can see sony logo, enter in flashmode, fastboot is not hard-brick is soft-brick. Well lot of guides explains how to unbrick a sof-bricked phone but all uses the recovery mode that i cant enter.
If you guys know a way to install in my phone the recovery mode again i think i can fix it. all answers will be apreciated. Thanks.
that custom roms need a "14.6.A.1.236.ftf" but i flashed with "14.5.A.0.270.ftf" i tried to make my own .ftf in the newest version but flashtool looks stuck all time i click on create.
i found a "Xperia Z1 (C6903) 14.6.A.1.236 Germany Generic.ftf" but my phone is not germanic im downloading right now i dont know if it is gona work.
