They restore your phone with the ORIGINAL STOCK ROM and everything that your phone has installed (Including Recovery) is lost. You don't have any recovery installed. You have to re-install it again.
Hit thanks if I helped.

After a visit at the mobile center the entire device will be resetted. Meaning official software and no recovery (Sony has no recovery build in so it seems). So yeah, you need to root it again and instal a recovery.

Have you enabled USB Debugging option from Developers Option..?
If no then do it. If you cannot see developer options then go to settings -- about phone -- tap o build number 7 times and you'll unlock developer tools option.
Then enable it and then connect your phone to compter via USB and do the necessary steps to flash CWM.
Also you on locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader.?

1. Check USB debugging is connected and your PC has properly installed the drivers for your phone. Also make sure your phone has prompted you to authorise the computer you're connected to.
2. Check no ADB is running in task manager before you try this, check flashtool isnt running or anything else that may use ADB (PC companion etc)
3. Try a different recovery
Oh and stupid question but you have re-rooted your phone first right and SuperSU is confirmed working updated and allowing rooted programs to work?

[Q] No root recovery aymore

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,

But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Ok ill check that out. I'll let you know.
Well I tried and nothing. It says that it passed and that odin did its thing but it didn't.
Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Sorry for my late answer!
stock I think. This is every info I have on the phone:
About phone:
Firmware: 2.3.5
baseband: i9001xxkpf
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #1
build: gingerbread.xxkpg
when I do *#1234#:
pda: i9001xxkpg
phone: i9001xxkpf
csc: i9001xenkp1
That's it...
Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??
Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

Look here's the deal if you have an unlocked bootloader everything for locked bootloader will works for you, If you didn't saw any green light bar it means the cwm doesn't installed properly, try to install it again and check super su to see if it blocks the adb shell or not (you should allow adb shell in super su for the cwm to install properly)

That happens because you dont have busybox installed. Look for it in the play store and install it, then reinstall the recovery. Make sure you use the modified one in the zr forum because the one from the original krabappel thread dissappears after booting

They should be turned on in your phone! You have to download an app called developer options from the play store because sony stock settings doesnt show that option.
i already have developer optoins, but i didn't see the adb option there.

Null rom flashing failed

Someone please help me get this null rom on my gear!
I didn't root, the guide says it is not necessary.
I got twrp on the gear with odin, saved null rom to sd card with wondershare.
Unlike the video guide I watched, my watch will not work with wondershare when in download mode, it needs to be booted on.
When trying to install null rom with twrp, it tries a little and fail.
I have the newest stock firmware on the gear, na6, can this be the cause of the problem and I should downgrade to mk7?
Thanks
I just updated mine yesterday to mk7 through Keis. Did root, twrp, then transfer null rom with wonder share. Then installed rom with no problem. I believe I read a Guide, saying root first with cydia impactor before twrp.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
You sure it's mk7? I think the most current is na6
I'm sorry you are right. It is NA6. It still worked fine for me... try the root method
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Well I am about to give up...
Restart the whole process by first flashing the stock na6 rom
Rooted with impactor and installed supersu (all appears to be ok)
Flashed twrp with odin
Here is maybe where I go wrong... The guide says to reboot directly in recovery, I cannot reboot directly in recovery, I can only first reboot normally and then reboot again in recovery. Even if I could I cannot copy the null rom without first booting the device normally.
Were you able to copy the null rom zip right after flashing twrp, while still in download mode?
Sorry I got it. Had 3mb missing on the null rom zip even though windows showed complete

To get any device to show up using ADB you need to enable USB debugging and have all drivers, etc, installed properly. Go to settings>gear info>about gear then tap 'software version' multiple times until it says you're a developer or whatever it says, then go back a page and enable the new 'USB debug' option that will have appeared. Plug it in via usb and install the proper drivers.

Z3 Compact stuck on bootloop no recovery

Hi guys,
So I'll tell you the whole story here. I was on Lollipop, fully rooted with working XZDR recovery but phone seemed laggy so I decided to give it a full format with the newer firmware. So I backed up everything. Booted into recovery. Formatted the whole phone, then took out the SD card to load on the zip file from the PC. On inserting it, it wouldn't be detected so I tried to reboot into recovery using the inbuilt option but forgot that recovery too would have been deleted. Since then its just stuck on the Sony logo. It reboots by keeping the Power button and Volume Up pressed, but to no avail. I tried to flash the image using Flashtool but it doesn't recognize the phone when I try to connect it in Fastboot using the Volume Down during Reboot method. Nor do I get a blue LED on the phone. I guess it isn't entering Fast boot.
Please help out since its my daily driver. Help appreciated. Thanks
Oh hey guys managed to restore using Flashtool. Tried booting phone into Flash Mode again and idk how it worked this time. Breathing a sigh of relief.
Could you please explain in detail how did you managed to get out of bootllop....it seems i sucked exactly like you & now clueless....
First of all, try repair it with Pc Companion. If that doesn't work, try with flashtool.
Keep in mind, to enter flash mode, press volume down button and insert usb cable.
tried PC companion & got error 2003 (Unlocked Bootloader & rooted wont work it seems)
Flashtool, will give a try again....
As of now, i am able to go to the fastboot & can open files on my PC when connect phone via USB cable....
Phone not booting up normal/recovery mode....It just stucked with boot loops
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....

Not sure what you mean....... all I can say is, Flashtool 0.9.10.2beta4 does not require USB Debugging to be turned on to work and I definitely didnt turn USB Debugging on before starting the root process. Later yes but not before.

Can't flash TWRP

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

When I do it, my phone just turns on normally.
How can I check if I have unlocked bootloader? I have unlocked it about 1 year ago, but I did full wipe yesterday.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

Nope. Maybe I was wrong and I have never unlocked it? I don't remember, but I did something when I was upgrading my phone to Android 4.4.2

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.
edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.
Lemme know how did it go. Will get back to you in the morning if nobody else came along (but someone surely will before that).
Have a nice day/night depending on your time zone

I installed Hisuite and connected my phone. Windows have downloaded drivers automatically. And still the same...
But I forgot to tell you that when I connecting my switched off phone, my pc says "USB Device Not Recognized" (or something like that, I dont have english version of windows). Everything is ok when my phone is switched on...
This phone is cursed. I try to give up and stay on my current ROM, so I installed Nova Launcher, but setting it as default doesn't work :/
Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

I was awake just for your post. I think I got the problem. You need fastboot drivers imo but I would have to read a bit before I can suggest how to go about it.
Am busy tomorrow but will try to get back to you in the evening (GMT+5 time zone).
Can never be 100% sure but still I am confident, your problem has a solution. Just bear with me a day or two

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

In "usb storage media" or something like that? Yes, I do.

Okay, then it means that there is no problem in the connection. You are using SP Flash tool in which mode?
