[Q] stuck in bootloop

Hello all,
I have the latest 4.2.2 firmware which was rooted using doomlords rooting kit. I installed a TWRP recovery and backed up my phone. After that I flashed a softkey mod which is now causing my phone to go into a boot loop. I get the sony and xperia logo followed by the waves then it restarts again.
Noob question how do I go into twrp recovery in order to restore my backup?
Edit: Ignore this couldn't get the phone to go into recovery had to flash ftf via flash tool

Looking for help with failed flash.

Hi. I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 (honami) and I tried to install Cyanogenmod on it by following this tutorial:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami
What I did:
1. Unlocked bootloader, had no problems with that.
2. Went to fastboot, flashed over Boot.img, after that I couldn't get to recovery (probably because I didn't install it first)
3. Tried another Boot.img for the Free Xperia project, after that my device had a flashing red light.
4. Reflashed the previous CM Boot.img back.
3. I was told to install recovery, so I installed TWRP (Still couldn't get to recovery mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rec-twrp-2-8-6-0-z1-honami-t3074845
Now I've downloaded Flashtool along with a general FTF file, my next plan was to flash the whole thing, but I'm asking if there was something I did wrong and how to fix up this mess?
Right now by going into recovery mode I get stuck at Sony logo, tried waiting 10 minutes but nothing.
EDIT: Tried to fix it by installing Emma, reinstalled stock lollipop ROM, and TA (I think that's recovery) and nothing, can't even see sony logo anymore
EDIT2: Flashed stock ROM with Flashtool, still doesn't work...

Help! Phone dead.

Hey there.
I'm in need of some help.
Last night, I was installing https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/orig-development/cr-5-1-carbonrom-t3529766 on my phone, going from stock 6.0.1. The steps I followed were:
First unlocked my bootloader. Phone boots up fine.
Flashed twrp and booted it. On twrp, the zip I was going to use gave me a error 7. Followed the instructions regarding that, and removed the get.prop lines.
Now it flashed without any errors.
Rebooted phone. It's stuck on bootloop (The Sony logo shows up for a split second and then starts again).
Tried relocking bootloader and flashing stock ftf, but it's still stuck on bootloop. Also tried flashing EliteKernelV3 but to no avail.
I have access to flashmode and fastboot, but can't get into recovery nor offline charging. Think messed up my partition table, and I can't figure what to do. Searched a lot on the forum, but usually the similar problems are solved by flashing stock ftf, wich is not happening to me.
Would be really grateful if some could shed some light on my case.
EDIT: I made a TA-backup prior to flashing custom ROM.

After I flashed the ROM, I did a factory restore.
Unlocked bootloader, flashed with EMMA, and it is still stuck on bootloop.
Thanks anyway.

Try flashing an older firmware like KitKat it maybe has the Z3C partition table inside of the ftf,but the MM firmware doesn't.

Indeed KK has partition table on the ftf, but it is still stuck on bootloader. I guess I'll contact Sony to see if they have a way of fixing it.
Thanks guys!

Only able to access fastboot, boot and recovery mode both fail.

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I tried to root my Moto 2g.
Unlocked it's bootloader,Installed Twrp and installed supersu. Also downloaded a custom mod(the most famous one I guess) and installed it,only to find out that the phone would no longer boot
but keep looping on the unlocked bootloader warning screen.While thinking that I had downloaded a non-compatible mod I Installed another one.After that,booting the phone would Instantly
take me to the recovery mode and keep looping the Teamwin logo.
I decided not to mess anymore with it and reinstall the stock firmware for moto 2g. After Installing it the Motorola logo comes up and then I am taken to the fastboot screen once again with the error saying:
"Fastboot reason,Fell through from boot recovery mode".Tried to flash CWM to see If I could get into recovery mode from there but I would get CWM logo loops exactly the same way they appeared with Teamwin logo.
Seems like phone is dead to me but still have a bit of hope,although the only place I can get is fastboot.
Edit:I tried to fastboot flash boot boot.img the stock image and I got and error saying that boot.img(10mb) exceeded the partition limit

try flashing the whole Stock Firmware
It might help,
U said u flashed a MOD over stock ROM?
If so, u should have boot first Just After unlocking the bootloader before Flashing any MODs

Ok let me explain the situation better.Last night I used a stock firmware I found and flashed it.When I tried to boot I would see motorola logo once
fore boot mode,Then it would go to recovery so I would see it for a second time and then I would see teamwin logo looping so the phone was not
able to get into recovery mode but only into bootloader.
After That I flashed CWM and the same thing would happen with CWM logo looping now in recovery mode.
Today I woke up and flashed CWM again,and for some reason I could get into CWM and use it normally
So what I did is Installed Supersu and a mod for my xt1068 and tried to boot but phone stuck in the same endless loop again and I also cant get
into CWM again as its logo keeps flashing instead of taking me into the menu.
I believe there is an error with my data folder or partition or w/e.
Most of all I want to be able to get into CWM again

So u are not able to get into Recovery
And u can get to Fast boot Mode?
If yes Flash TWRP latest(3..1.0-0)
Boot into TWRP
Reset or Install any Custom ROM like LiniageOS or AOSP
I think it's the problem with SuperSU?
Which MOD did u install?

Thanks for the replies,I managed to solve the problem and install Cyanogenmod.I guess everything came up to this:
After the first time I installed twrp I decided to wipe my data folder but somehow it was deleted and the partition became raw type which caused
all the bootlooping problems.
Using CWM I was able to get into recovery mode and then I chose to format my data folder and sd card(as ext4 I guess) and the data folder was
recreated.
After that I normally flashed Cyanogenmod and device booted just fine

Recovery Bootloop

So I successfully unlocked my bootloader and flashed custom ROM and recovery, first boot it was okay, I was able to setup Android and installed apps, now when I rebooted it, it only boots to recovery. Phone can still be detected by my PC, can also get detected in fastboot when in bootloader. So I think there's really a workaround for this I just didn't know how and I am now hesitant to follow web tutorials if it isn't an official forum just like this.
Things I already did:
Reinstall ROM
Reflashed custom recovery
Cleared Data/Dalvik/Cache
Factory Reset

Flash the stock firmware by SP Flash Tool, it'll help to revert back to stock and stop boot loop!
