i have mate but what do you mean (all include)?

managedto get some sort or root but seems only temp root and wont let me flash a recovery because of this aaahhhh

Have you tried:
1. repairing completely with PC Companion;
2. re-rooting?

you should do a
repair with SUS followed by a factory reset (internal wipe) under settings then try rooting it again.

bro i dont know for sure . but while powering the phone on keep pressing vol up botton or down button. thats the way we enter cwm recovery.
hope this works for stock recovery also. but i dont think there is recovery mode without installing cmw or twrp.

Xperia doesn't have stock recovery like Samsung phone
The best way to wipe everything is using Sony Update Center
Choose software repair and reset everything

Well, if you come from Samsung phone, you probably asking a same thing

This is not about rooting or not, but give a answer for best solution

Of course, if your device rooted, it's simple as having a recovery

Yes, you can
But you will wipe all data in your phone, except for sd card
Yes, Samsung Kies is same with Sony PC Companion, Sony Update Center for software upgrade or software repair

My update keeps on failing.

I need serious help here guys. I have now updated my phone twice to the new Jelly Bean 4.3 ending in 136... every time I used PC companion and every time everything seemingly went well.
Every time it did a long boot and every time it said it was successful, but it still has the version ending on 290 when I go into my settings.
Ive reset and tried switching it off for a while it just won't change.
What is going wrong? Thank you!

Flash the FW .136 via Flashtool and wipe everything. Something wrong there with your PC Companion.

Hi there... right so I have first tried to repair my phone, but still the new update just will not load.
I am now going to try your advice, but I have never flashed a phone in my life. I am reading how to do it now. I have downloaded the Emma flashtool, but now have to unlock my bootloader - I have heard previously that this breaks the camera... will my camera break when I do this?
Thank you.

You have to use Flashtool v9.14, not Emma, and flash the latest .136 FTF from Here for your Model only, you don't have to Unlock Bootloader, you phone will be just fine and your Warranty will not be voided.
Turn Off your phone, keep pushing volume down and connect via usb the phone to PC, keep holding volume down all the time, let windows install drivers for flashmode, open Flashtool, before that put the FTF .136 in flashtool folder, now click Flash on flashtool and select the right FTF, uncheck everything except Wipe Data, Appslog, Cache, now click Flash, Hold volume down until the green bar of the process will start at the bottom, now you can leave your phone alone. Done.

Try using your phone without SD card and sim card. Msybe these cause the reboots

Hmm coincidence it is that I have the same name.
Back ot:
Try removing 1 or both and see if the reboots are still happening. I had the same issue with mine and it is a factory stock phone. No provider brand and non rooted.
And magically after the 4.3 update it began with sudden reboots(with the message sim/USIM removed). Within a matter of days 2 or 3 they became that frequent that I removed my sim and that's also when the reboots stopped.
Called the provider and told them my sim caused the phone to reboot somehow after it got updated. They sent me a new one @ no costs.
Put the new one in and till today no reboots. Think that is about 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Just tried with only sim, then only sdcard, and without both of them. Still reboots. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DOOOO!!

I tried all 4.3 firmware versions, still reboots itself... 4.1.2 not yet will try tomorrow..

If you've tried different firmwares, and android versions. With/without sim/SDcards. You may have some faulty hardware.
Is your bootloader unlocked, have you tried any AOSP derived ROMs?

Try a 4.1.2 firmware for a few days, if the problems persist then it must be hardware related so you'd need to send it for repair.

remove sim and then have a try.I just had the same problem three weeks ago.

Weird.
So let me get this right:
Android 4.3:
reboots with stock
reboots with stock + no sim
reboots with stock + no sdcard

Android 4.1:
It turns off randomly

Also your bootloader is locked, correct?
And all these tests have been done on 100% stock? Root? Xposed? Any mods?
Did you try what @Darkierage said a few posts up?

Yea. Always been locked bootloader. Tried this with testing this without root (i think), because this rebootings happened when i had root, then i flash 4.3 stock thinking that flashing another fw will delete root also, am i right? Before this rebooting problems i had tried some xposed modes and made some soft reboots, dont know if it is that the problem.

If you read my previous post, i didnt know what he meant with that app?

TWRP 2.7.1.0

Not my project but thought this might help people find it: TWRP 2.7.1.0 for KK Bootloaders by dhacker29
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/
Edit: To avoid confusion I changed the link to the one RikRong posted that will give you the M only version. File name: TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img.
Edit2: Looks like the links are down so here is a link to a post that @rahimali provided in this thread. Its for TWRP 2.8 and 2.7.1.0.

anyone else have a problem with this not recognizing the touch commands and just basically acting like its frozen? Nothing works I left it for awhile and came back to it and tried to open the slide lock and it doesn't do anything. The battery is fully charged so what I guess I have to do is wait for the thing to die so I can get out of recovery.
UPDATE: Still not working for me but I was able to shut it down by pressing the Power + Volumes Up and Down Keys

Yes I downloaded the correct one from RikRong and it was the one that says:

no luck with twrp so switched back to cwm. i also flashed the same way using fastboot

well I'll give the flashy a try and see but I think its more an issue with my phone. but I got time to play so we'll give it a shot.
Ok tried doing it with flashy and still the same result just no touch at all so I just give up with this and will stick with the one that works for me

Are you on the KK bootloader? I believe its a requirement. I used rashr to flash it myself.

Looking at my bootloader I do not think I am on the KK bootloader it gives me a date of 2013-09-25 I am assuming that is the original bootloader that it came with. Guess I'll do a search for the KK bootloader and see if I can get that flashed over.

To get the KK bootloader, I flashed the latest OTA through rsd lite. It should keep the boot loader unlocked but will remove root. If you plan on using a stock ROM, Q9Nap's GPE is very smooth and stable. Their thread gives links and instructions on how to flash OTA.

So the Frog has officially Croaked his Phone.
Yes you heard right I have managed to kill my phone. Only good thing is that I couldn't use it for much more than a mini wifi tablet so I didn't really loose anything.
I could not get Twrp 2710 to work was because I had the old boot loader So I decided to update the boot loader which I did but now the phone will not go out of the boot logo screen. I have successfully reinstalled my ROM and still will not go past the boot logo screen. I have tried fastbooting back to the old bootloader but no luck there either. I have spent about 2.5 hours this morning trying different things to get it to work and nothing I have found or came across will work. I have however successfully installed twrp 2710 and now have it working. Considering that is the only area of the phone That I can actually get into i guess thats something.

Some of the older Roms won't boot on the kk kernel they will not boot past the boot logo... When you upgraded did you flash the entire kk firmware via rsd? And it wouldn't boot past the boot logo...
