i'm totally newbie using xperia z rooted with unlocked bootloader , few weeks ago i can access recovery but yesterday i cant access recovery (blank screen; LED = green)..
trying to flash using flashtools (originally from Sony website) so maybe i can rolled back my phone into factory default ROM n etc then follow the steps but "EMMA" can't find any service.
Anyway, my xperia Z works fine but i want to upgrade my JellyBam to 10.3 ver. or if it cant, i want to rolled back my phone into factory (no custom ROM)...
anyone can help me?
Do you use XZDualRecovery or the install with UB(flashing boot.img)?
If XZDualRecovery, Try reinstalling.
If boot.img, reflash it.

Hi I have a C6603... rooted and running on ExistenZ ROM 4.5
I updated to V5 (Android 4.3/.569 firmware) successfully but without SIM card. Due to my OCD, I decided after putting my SIM card in, to do a factory reset on CWM, followed by reboot.
At the "Reboot System Now" screen, CWM asks me if I wanna retain root on device. I then realized I should just flash whole V5 zip, and SuperUser fix zip then run the ROM as normal. Thus I selected "Go Back"
In this instant, the phone shut down and when reboot, it stuck at SONY logo screen and refuses to boot into anything. I used Flashtool to flash .569 and .67 kernels but both doesn't work.
I also tried PC Companion and tried to "repair" the phone but since it can't even boot the programme just says the phone isn't connected.
What should I do now? I just need to be able to enter recovery..

Try SUS, Sony Update Service. But I think you will loose your data, if I remember right.
Otherwise, what says flashtool If you try to flash the .67 firmware, not just the Kernel?

ahhhhh didn't think of flashing firmware!! I found a rooted 4.3/.569 firmware... managed to flash it. booting into it now. thank you so much for reminder
k so this is what happened i hve a sony xperia z1 c6902 that is on 14.4.A.0.108 rooted through this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/stock-update-to-14-4-0-108-t2802266
i hve an unlocked bootloader
after that i tried installing a rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-aicp-5-0-kk-4-4-4r2-unofficial-t2819206
so as the thread mentioned in its instructions
How to flash:
ROM has GAPPS, custom dpi & xposed persistance in between dirty flashes
Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.4.2 Sony based ROM and NOT on 4.3 (or older) Sony based ROM
Download the latest build
Download Gapps
Take a nandroid backup
Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset
Flash ROM using any recovery
Flash Gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy!
since i did the full wipe using TWRP by check marking everything under advance wipe ive been stuck at the sony logo
i tried re-flashing the C6902_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf file through flashtool by connecting the device in flashmode (volume down + power) flash tool seems to do it fine i'll attach a screenshot below but im still stuck at the sony logo
i cannot access my TWRP or CWM recovery as when i press the vol down button nothing happens
please help me and i'll be eternally grateful
Thank You all!
That rom requires an unlocked bootloader. Have you unlocked the bootloader? I bet not.
Did you notice in the instructions of flashing that rom that you should take a nandroid backup?
OK then, flash a stock FTF, re-root and install recovery and then restore your backup.
If you did not take a backup, you just need to flash a stock FTF, re-root, install the ROM of your choice and set it back up again

Do not connect the phone until it prompts you to do so.

I had problem with update to 14.4.A.0.108 by NUT, with flashing ftf - when done as should be: connect when asked, flashtool threw error and had no imei and no cell radio. Then I done like so: start flashtool, conneted phone in flashmode, then hit lighting button and started flashing process - no error.
So in my case I hed to do oppsite for what you say, don't know if this is 0.9.16.1 issue or anything else but it worked for me.

am on unlocked bootloader. no problem ryt??
dosent matter mate.
I bought this phone, backed up ta partition, unlocked bootloader, installed cm11, then iHachers ROM 4.1 (with dual recovery - CWM and TWRP). How can I return to stock, lock the bootloader and restore ta partition? (make it like it was when I bought it)
When I backed up the the ta partition, I accidently deleted it, so i recovered the deleted file with Recuva. I only managed to recover a ZIP called TA-backup-20140717... .zip, which has 6 files in it. Is this the only file needed to restore ta partition and (it is 188 KB) is it corrupt ?
I know I should use Flashtool, but I do not know which FTF to select. If I restore the phone with Sony PC Companion, will the device get bricked? Because it is rooted with custom recovery and unlocked BL.
Thanks :good:

Pc companion will not even start to update your phone since it its rooted and bl uncloked.
Anyway, you need to flash FTF for your device (ex. C6903), best is Generic World latest one.
After that restore backup of TA

Thanks for the quick responce :laugh:
Is it possible to upgrade from iHackers 4.1 (Stock 4.4.2) with custom kernel, recovery and root, by only flashing the kernel and recovery FTF, restoring the TA (so that the BL locks again) and then upgrading over the air (OTA update) ? I know I will lose root, but are my data going to be deleted by upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4? I have the C6903 version.
Also, if I flash an ftf that includes everyhting (system, recovery, kernel,... ) and deletes all the data (so the phone will become like new), and choose a wrong generic ftf in this list ( http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Sony/Xperia+Z1/C6903/Generic/14.4.A.0.108/ ), will I brick my phone?
I have never used flash tool (i have not even downloaded/installed it!) and i am afraid i will brick my z1...
Thank you for your help

I didnt understand first one, so i will not answer to this, i dont want make any confusion.
Yes, if you flash everything your phone will become like new, and if you flash wrong "ftf" worst case scenario is that you will need to download new FTF and flash it again with correct one.

hey guys I was running cm12 on my sp when I tried updating my recoveries...it installed fine after a reboot it got stuck on bootloop .I know how to recover via flashtool, but that would mean wiping clean my entire internal SD . I was thinking about flashing a custom recovery so that I can backup data . can anyone help on ways to get around this problem.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
