As you followed a guide that just ripped DooMLoRD's work from XDA, you most probably flashed the wrong kernel for your firmware, which is the cause of your problem.
Get the correct kernel from here, which is the source of the guide and files that website is using.
thanks for reply plz stick with me for a sec plz

similar problem
I have the same problem ! sorry if I am spamming your request, but I think that's better than to make another n00b thread :angel:.
so in my case, I installed a wrong ROM (there was two variants), tested softwares like flashtool without any real result. I only need to restore my lovely phone with the default ROM, then I can flash it again, thanks.
edit: didn't read the previous post (was writing). so it should be the same thing for me cause I am really null in those stuff.
Download flash tool and X8 ftf file then search for steps on what to do. Or use pc companion

if u want go back to 2.1 eclair just download the FTF file from my signature down there!
this is one of the way to unbrick the phone
- copy paste the ftf file to flashtool/firmware
- choose flashmode on flashtool
- turn off x8 , plug it with hold back button
- waallaahhh! Done
as I already said, I used flashtool but without the original ROM (I am noob). but now it's working finelly. how ?
after installing flashtool, it was asking for drivers, even if they are already installed. so I installed all the drivers, for all the available phones .
retryting again and again, same problem. drivers are missed.
but I don't know how, it worked in the last attempt, and my phone is flashed with the original ROM.
thanks a lot :good: !

well done dude!
some people forget to install x8 Driver, gordon gates, and flashtool/driver
And dont forget to clear data and cache before flashing any kernel to prevent bootloops

hi. i have a big problem. i do this: techglen.com/2014/02/13/root-install-cwm-6-on-xperia-sp-c5303-4-3-12-1-a-0-266-266-firmware/2/ and when i do point 12 i cant turn on my phone.when i press power there is a little vibration and nothing happenes. when i connect to my pc also nothing happenes. PC cant see the phone. any advices?
I do not recommend to follow tutorials from outside XDA since these tutorial can do damage (the ones here aswel but these are more checked and verified).
The tutorial you used required an Unlocked bootloader since you need to flash a boot.elf (kernel of Xperia SP). You've done this on a Locked bootloader and thus a softbrick.
I recommend you to repair your device with the tutorial about flashing stock ROMS see my signature..

i unlocked bootloader . there is tutorial. and i did it correct i think
Like I said dont follow tutorials outside XDA. In here you have a bit more help and more experienced users. Follow this tutorial for rooting:

Hi my name is John.
I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.
when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.
Now i have a new mobile Xperia V
I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.
I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.
I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.
I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..
- Root your phone
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Install Xposed Installer
- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about
That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.
Thanks.

So there's none here can help me ?
connect your phone to PC
enable USB debugging on the phone
unzipp the file attached
click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions
Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.

You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV
and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..
how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf
after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf
then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..
now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM
ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..
Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.

So you have unlocked a bootloader. Could you please tell me what method did you used to unlocked your bootloader? Did you use FlashTool or the "fastboot" command in adb?
And based on your first post, I have to say that you have lost your DRM keys. Without DRM keys Bravia Engine won't work.

I can't really give a suggestion. "Best ROM" depends on personal preferences. Since I am currently using CM11, I must say it works really great on my device. However, some people face problem with it such as being it laggy and everything. I hope you won't face the same thing.
Actually I have a guide that will solve your problem.
BUT BEFORE THAT please read everything there. Please follow the requirements. You may ignore any bootloader-related points. Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can skip guide number 1, and directly proceed to the section "Fastbooting DoomLord's kernel" in guide number 2. Then proceed normally afterwards. Get a CM M10 snapshot here. Psst, M11 is getting near!
Now you may go to the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/guide-flashing-custom-roms-ultimate-xsp-t2888579
in order to downgrade , should i just follow 1b ??

Yes if you want to downgrade you may just and only follow 1b. However needless to say, if your bootloader is unlocked, there's no more need to backup your TA partition

Your problem might have be something to do with APN. Just contact your service provider, and get an internet configuration. That will work for you
In Stock SONY, there is an-already method that will fetch internet config. Sadly there's no such thing in custom ROMs.
Or to make matters difficult, you can find someone with the same service provider like you, open their phone's settings, find "APN" in Mobile Networks, and copy all settings hand-by-hand to your phone.
Hello, I'm trying to update a Sony Xperia Z (from the phone's menu), but for some reason, the updates don't work, as if they were blocked. From what I've been told, someone tried to root the phone using some random tutorial on the internet, ended up in a bootloop (at the SONY logo), then flashed an official rom (4.1.2 IIRC) via flashtools or a similar software to solve the bootloop. I've checked the bootloader status dialing [*#*#7378423#*#*], and it's still locked .
I don't want to risk bricking it since it's not mine, but the person who owns it really wants to be able to update it normally via the phone (very casual user, no flashing knowledge or anything), so I would be happy if someone could help me ! So, teach me Masters, what should I do ? Thanks in advance !
P.S. : if there's already a post/tutorial about that, I'm sorry but didn't find it =)

As far as I know OTA doesn't work with unlocked bootloader (correct me, If I'm wrong).
Sony PC Companion won't work either, because your friend/you had unlocked your bootloader.
You can relock it, but it won't work either way, if you don't have TA-Backup with your DRM keys, I think

Hello, and thanks for your answer ! I just talked with the person who tried to modify the phone, and actually, he didn't install a custom rom, he just tried to root the phone following some random tutorial, then ended up in a bootloop. He doesn't know if he unlocked the bootloader or not, but to solve the bootloop, he flashed an official rom via his pc (flashtools or something similar), as I said in the previous post... does that change anything ? Anyway, I'm gonna edit the OP to make things more clear.
EDIT : just checked the bootloader status by typing [*#*#7378423#*#*] in the dialer, it's NOT unlocked. =)

Well, that explains everything.
Firstly, you've to download Flashtool (I suggest you to read carefully the information provided in the link) and install its drivers. If you've already done it, you can proceed futher.
♦ I suggest you to go straight to the newest version (4.4.4) Generic. Here is .FTF file, which needs to be put in flashtool /firmware(s) folder (your friend should know it): Generic 4.4.4 FTF HERE
Before start, make sure you know what are you doing and it is only your responsibility.
By flashing .ftf you won't brick your device unless you'll try to flash custom kernel on locked bootloader or something like this.
If you need a tutorial which describes how to flash .ftf, then quote this message and I'll try sort this thing out with you

Awesome ! Yes, indeed, if you could tell me how to do it or link me to a tutorial, that would be very appreciated ! I already have flashtools installed, but don't know the commands, or the right steps to flash something without using a recovery. Anyway, thanks for your time ^^
EDIT : I forgot to indicate that I'm running flashtools on linux, so no interface, everything has to be done with commands lines... so the tutorial in the link in your previous post can't be used with my os, I think !
