Hi there!
I installed a Chainfire program, and now my Xperia have a bootloop
How can I turn on my phone? Can I flash a recovery and wipe all data, and then flash back stock kernel?
Plz help mee!
Ok, so I flashed recovery, turn it on, wipe all data, and phone still have bootloop. I don't have any idea, what can I do to flash clean stock sony firmware
Sony Update Service doesn't work. It tell me, that I have modded firmware
relock your bootloader, then use sony update service again
Ok, so how can I relock bootloader, and can I unlock it after?
Dude no need for all that. Just download Flash tool and generic Xperia ftf file. Then switch off your cell phone and press the volume down key and insert the usb while on Flash tool it will install the adb drivers if not then navigate into the flash tool folder and then you'll find a folder named drivers install the drivers from that setup proceeding ahead you should see a green led light now click on the flash button above and select flash tool and navigate it to the ftf file you just downloaded. It will install the generic rom but will remove your root access. No need to lock the boot loader. Welcome if this helped and tell me if I'm wrong

Damn working! Thanks!!!
BTW. Is there any website with ftf firmwares? Like samfirmwares for samsung devices?
AW: XPERIA Bootloop
No there is not.
Next time try EMMA if you want to reload your stock firmware. EMMA works with unlocked bootloaders (only).
All credit goes to @zhuhang. I have no contribution to it.

This method will help you gain root access on the latest .67 4.2.2 update that Sony recently pushed out.
Disclaimer:
- This requires a PC.
- No CWM needed.
- This installs a Chinese root manager rather than superuser or superSU. But I will teach you how to replace it below.
Instruction:
1. Download the rooting application. (This app can root many other devices )
VRoot_1.6.0.3690
http://www.mediafire.com/download/v3...3690_Setup.exe
2. Install the app. This is a Chinese app so I will guide you. Below is a step by step screenshot attached guide.
3. Start VROOT and root now!
4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.
5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.
6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)
7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.
Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.
9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.
10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.

Can someone upload an ftf with just the kernel.sin and bootloader.sin for the C5503? I tried creating one using C5502 kernel and i got stuck in a boot loop. luckily my battery was just at about 10% and so I quickly flashed back the 4.2.2 Kernel of the 5503 and all is well.
Once we get the kernel only ftf, can test and create guide for rooting 5503 on 4.2.2

Tried with the C5503 kernel. Same boot loop. I think we'll have to find an alternate root method, as unlike the Z, the ZR doesnt have .234 firmware [that is also 4.2]
Experimenting with the Z firmware. Wish me luck
Why not flash only kernel from the previous firmware? Isn't working?
UPD. I see - not work

I have rooted mine already (ie. Android 4.2.2). You have to unlock your bootloader for this method to work.

Firstly you need to unlock your bootloader. Google that, its easy. OR you can do it through flashtools (not tested).
Enable USB Debugging and unknown sources option on your phone before proceeding.
Download Flashtool, Open it. Flash the the kernel of an old firmware of Xperia ZR which was rootable.
Reboot your Xperia ZR after flashing. Connect to PC in USB Debugging mode.
Do not forget to close FLASHTOOL.
Extract the downloaded “DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip” file and run the “runme_win” file.
Follow onscreen instructions to root Xperia ZR and once it is rooted, device will reboot. Verify that you are rooted, run SuperSU app.
Now switch off your Xperia ZR. OPEN FLASHTOOL.
Now you need to flash the true kernel of Android 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.0.244 firmware of Xperia ZR.
After flashing, disconnect the phone from PC, reboot it and your Xperia ZR is now rooted

So basically you're doing:
Use FlashTool to flash the 4.2.2 FTF
Downgrade the kernel by using FlashTool back to 4.1.2
Run the DoomLord rooting kit
Flash back 4.2.2 kernel using FlashTool
To flash the kernel you need an unlocked bootloader. What I don't understand is how to flash the kernel only? I found the kernel.sin inside the FTF file. Can I just delete other .sin file and flash the remaining FTF file?
Sorry if my questions are noob.

You need to keep the kernel.sin and bootloader.sin in the ftf and delete the rest. Also don't delete the META-INF file.

The problem is the bootloader? I thought doom's thread said that this was for locked and unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will lead to a lot of people avoiding the root method.

So is an unlocked bootloader NEEDED for this method to work for ZR? I thought DoomLord said it works for both.

I did manage to root it, but then the phone suddenly restarts. Now I am stuck with bootloops. Strange as I managed to install Superuser from the Play Store.
Edit. I recommend not trying to root using this method. Wait till theres a definitive rooting method.

Yes. I fixed the bootloop issue. Need any help with the bootloop?
If you've got a bootloop, pull the battery asap as once it dies, you won't be able to flash ftf and the device will be bricked.
To fix bootloop [and still not get root access]
1. Open the 4.2.2 ftf file in flashtool.
2. Exclude everything [tick in the exclude box] except the kernel, and untick everything in the wipe box [data, applog]
3. Flash the kernel by pressing the volume down button while plugging in USB cable [DONT PRESS POWER BUTTON AFTER BATTERY PULL AS OTHERWISE YOU'LL GO BACK INTO BOOTLOOP]
4. After it flashes [should take a couple of seconds], reboot and you should be back to normal
I REPEAT PULL THE BATTERY IF IN A BOOTLOOP OR YOU'LL LAND UP WITH ANOTHER PAPERWEIGHT

I just learned a lesson! Thanks!
So again you're not successful in rooting 4.2.2 using the kernel switching method?
i think the kernel switching fix will not work on ZR.. we don't have a rootable 4.2 kernel
i think the 423 kernel is 4.2

It happened to me also, but it's possible to recover from it.
Install PC Companion on your PC.
Go to Support Zone.
First option -> Update phone / tablet software.
You will see a underlined link that says "repair phone / tablet"
Just follow the instructions.
You will need your phone to have at least 50% battery level. Take out the battery, insert again, and connect your phone to your PC via USB while pressing the Volume + button. You will hear a sound coming from your PC meaning it's been connected.
Sony PC Companion then will flash your phone with the latest firmware. It takes a while and you need to have internet connection, but it works.
As you flashed the Russian system rom, the firmware installed in your phone by Sony PC companion will be the Russian Android 4.2.2. No problem with this as it includes all the languages.
Do this as soon as possible as you need your battery charged and you can't charge the battery in your phone while in the bootloop state.

I'm not sure what we did wrong to be stuck in a bootloop, but after my ZR being reflashed by Sony PC Companion I just flashed the Nordic 4.2.2 ROM and my phone remains unrooted until there is a easier method to get root

In fact you should read the other thread for a workable root method for 4.2.2. This thread is very old and AFAIK this method doesn't work.
Guys please help
I flashed a custom rom and it got a lil messed up..
I've downloaded an ftf file but I have no idea on how to flash it.
I havent made any backup,my bad.
I'm using C5302
If you look a bit futher you will see a easy guide made by me about how to get back to stock without the use of flash tool
You have to download flashtool to flash an ftf file if you don't have any backup you lose your data but once you flash the ftf you're going to be fine
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader you can also use Sony's update service (SUS) to restore your phone.

This is called a bootloop. All you need to do is press VOL UP + POWER, then connect your phone to your computer in flashmode (connect USB while holding VOL DOWN button) and flash .534 using Flashtool
Yep, just Hold Volume Down, connect to PC and flash a Stock FTF.

No just go into recovery, flash the monxdified rom zip and then clear cache and dalvik. I have done the same thing and it works perfectly fine. You can flash any 4.3 rom in this way, as you are on the same firmware.

Monxdified, iHackers and all stock based roms don't need a custom kernel (that's why you don't need to be bootloader unlocked to use them)
Just go into your recovery flash the zip. After the zip is flashed you will get an option to clear dalvik and cache.
It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a custom rom, as it might misbehave. You can however try it without factory reset and then if you see that it doesn't work properly just do a factory reset and flash the rom zip again.
Hi, wondering if anyone can please help me.
course of events:
1) original FW rooted with bin4ry.v32
2) 14.2.A.0.290 rooted with NUT's method
3) 14.3.A.0.757 updated and rooted also with NUT's method; tried to do Advance Wipe in TWRP (with everything except for Ext. SD) but had 'failed' error so ended up with just a 'general' data wipe, went OK. Then flashed the 14.3.A.0.757 FW ok (from Ext. SD). Using flashtool to flash the stripped 14.3.A.0.757.ftf, went OK. booted up the phone with .757 no problem, however noticed that freshly installed apps were some how already configured and setup even though I have not set anything yet. I figured maybe it loaded up the data from .290 hence, the data wipe may not be done properly.
4) 14.3.A.0.757 again to see if the issue with the apps will rectify, however, still getting 'failed' error with TWRP Advance Wipe. I ended up 'format' data and tried TWRP advance wipe......again, 'failed' error! Tried to deselect USB-OTG, surprisingly Advance wipe was 'successful'. Then flashed with 14.3.A.0.757 flashable.zip again, this time it flashed pretty fast. so I proceed with flashtool, went well. rebooted and got stuck at Sony Logo. COULD NOT get back into TWRP to reflash.....ended up having to reflash 14.3.A.0.757 using Sony's Update Service app (SUS). Everything is ok, phone is working fine. However, I cannot go into recovery mode to flash with TWRP to root anymore. I noticed that when I press power, it vibrates once......Sony Logo.....Xperia logo and wipe screen. It doesn't vibrate twice anymore when the Sony logo comes up.
any suggestions?
Thank you and sorry for the long thread. Just want to be as precise as I can.

8. Disconnect USB from phone.
9. Through Windows, put the FTF in flashtool's firmware folder
10.Reboot phone to TWRP's recovery (on the green LED press volume down)
11. Through Recovery flash the 757 zip.
12. Don't reboot, go to the menu, click power options, select power off.
13. Insert USB to phone while holding volume down.
14. Flash the FTF file.
15. Celebrate.

I am not sure certain steps....
1) how do I reflash stock firmware, which firmware? Also how, using flashtool? Sony Update service software?
2) How do I downgrade, also using flashtool?
4) when you said 'restore' after root with bin4ry's, also with flashtool?
5) Should I delete the old dual recoveries currently on my ext sd?
this is for C6906 or doesn't matter

1) You re-flash stock firmware by going here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetRWdmQUZ4WlJ6WVk/edit?pli=1. (Link provided by xperiafirmware.com) That's assuming your model number corresponds to the file. If you have C6902 or other, don't use it. Google it.
2) Yeah you use flashtool. Click the thunderbolt icon, click flashmode, then select 14.1.G. Should say [NUT] under branding.
3)Root and restore is the name of the application provided by bin4ry. You have the option to root your phone along with restoring it back to un-rooted state. That is ran by "RunMe.bat".
4) When you run the .exe, it'll automatically put the recovery files. Make sure your USB debug is turned on and you accept Root access (superuser request).
Again, this could probably be cut to less steps, but this is what I did.

3)Root and restore is the name of the application provided by bin4ry. You have the option to root your phone along with restoring it back to un-rooted state. That is ran by "RunMe.bat".
4) When you run the .exe, it'll automatically put the recovery files. Make sure your USB debug is turned on and you accept Root access (superuser request).[/QUOTE]

You mean c6906? Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714351
As for dual recoveries that were on your phone, those will be gone when you flash the stock sony rom. Remove the recoveries off your sd card just in case and add the newer recovery files through the .exe or .bat from NUT.
to confirm before reflashing.....

I want to confirm a few things before I follow your steps. (question in BOLD)
1. Reflash stock rom ------------------using fw from the link above (C6906_14.3.A.0.757_CA Generic.ftf or C6906_14.3.A.0.757_Customized_US_1276-7484_R4C.ftf) with flashtool
2. Downgrade by flashing 14.1.G [ NUT ] (android 4.2.2) -------------- after flashing with the .757 fw in step 1, flash this fw with flashtool; but I only see 14.1.G [NUT] for c6903 does it matter?
4. Use bin4ry's Root and restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
5. Flash NUT's dual recoveries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 ---------- as mentioned from your post above (underlined), remove the recoveries off my ext sd before flashing NUT's latest dual recoveries, which is the TWRP folder correct?
6. Download 14.3.A.0.757flashable and stripped FTF.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711982
7. Put 757flashable.zip on your SD card or internal memory.
8. Disconnect USB from phone.
9. Through Windows, put the FTF in flashtool's firmware folder
10.Reboot phone to TWRP's recovery (on the green LED press volume down)
11. Through Recovery flash the 757 zip.
12. Don't reboot, go to the menu, click power options, select power off.
13. Insert USB to phone while holding volume down.
14. Flash the FTF file. --------- I assumed the stripped ftf in flashtool
15. Celebrate. ----------- Hopefully, this will be the case
THANK YOU so much for bearing with me!

I had it in flash mode on my older Z1 before launching flashtool and it worked fine.
But yeah, your method cuts my lengthy process. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
