As the title said, my xperia sp always enter recovery mode whenever i flash CWM or flash any kernel on it.
my phone is rooted and i already unlocked its bootloader. i can flash roms but after i reboot it. it always enter in recovery mode.
please help me.
UP! need help badly T.T
Flash an original firmware (FTF file) using flashtool.
There must be something wrong with your bootloader, which the above will solve.
After that you should be able to flash any ROM and/or kernel without having this issue again.
Any updates after flashing Stock FTF?
P.S.
Are you from Bulgaria?

1.) if you flash recovery in fastbot you no longer have a rom installed.
2) No need to root if youhave unlocked bootloader, just flash an unsecure kernel.
To fix this, flash my kernel (Follow the link in my signature) then flash the rom of your choice in recovery
EDIT
Please search before posting and please post in the correct section
Hi guys, my friend just bricked his LG Optimus black, by trying to reach recovery mode through Rom manager...
When booting, the security error screen flashes and it turns back off.
I've tried to reach recovery/download mode, by trying several button combinations found on the internet, but none of them seems to work, I get the same security error screen (even when the phone is connected to PC).
Can you guys please help, I have zero experience with this phone
Your friend's phone shows security error because he flashed recovery while he was running a v30x stock rom.
With the update to official ICS, the bootloader changed and if you want to keep stock ICS with recovery you need to flash an unlocked bootloader following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394.
You could also try using SmartFlash Tool to flash this ROM that already includes a recovery, but, if you flash it, you'll have a gingerbread ROM with an old bootloader and a recovery that can be used to flash CyanogenMod based ROMs.

Thanks, I finally managed to access Download mode and flash stock firmware, and I also flashed the unlocked bootloader, using the exe file...
But I still have a problem...
I still can't access CWM. When pressing the combination in the post you linked, it just shows me a screen, writing recovery mode, and it does nothing.
Didn't the exe file install CWM?
Is it safe to install it with Smart Flash Tool now?
Can you boot to stock ROM? If yes, is his phone rooted?

I can boot to stock ROM, and yeah I rooted it with Unlock Root after installing the unlocked bootloader.
Download terminal emulator from play store, download recovery.img from here and place it in the root of his sdcard.
Open terminal emulator, type su, press enter, type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and you should have finished! :highfive:
So this is what happened:
I wanted to flash a custom rom on my xperia Z.
I did what i have to do like unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery.
I already downloaded my desired custom rom. When I entered into custom recovery I wiped everything as in everything under the Wipe menu of TWRP. After that I went to reboot to recovery. Unfortunately the phone did not reboot anymore. Just stucked at the sony logo. Now it cannot go to fastboot, flashmode or custom recovery. My computer cannot detect the phone as well.
Is there any way that I can still flash rom into my phone with the above situation?
Any help is much appreciated. Tia!

Are u sure you've installed the correct drivers (fastboot, flashmode, adb)? If so, fastboot any custom kernel (with recovery) and you'll have recovery.
You wiped system, but I assume you had xzdualrecovery installed, and since it installs in system you lose recovery after wiping system and reboot.
Kernel with recovery is best option, you can safely wipe since kernel does not get wiped (only overwritten by rom or other kernel)
Hi langveld! Thank you for your reply..But i cannot go into fastboot.. Will it still do?

i guess you can only use the flashtools now, first try selecting kernel only for flashing without wiping anything. And if that doesnt work, then you have to flash the whole firmware. try holding vol down when connecting, i got into fastboot mode like that last time. good luck

please i have xperia z model c6602
i flashed twrp recovey twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img from fastboot then my phone keep booting at twrp recovery i tried restart many times but no chance
rest factory from twrp and not working also
any help please ?
can anyone answer, same case with me?
Hey guys, did you fix this? And if yes, how?
You can't flash recovery on stock ROM that way because after that the ROM will not boot. I think now you have to either flash stock ROM again via Flashtool or flash any custom one using recovery you have installed.
Well, I was poking around where I shouldn't have been and I think I flashed the wrong kernal to my phone. It's just getting a blank screen but I can get into fastboot mode to flash things. I had unlocked the bootloader before I soft bricked it but I flashed a newer version of TWRP and can't get it to open to that so either there's a TWRP issue or the bootloader isn't unlocked. When I attempted to unlock it again it did say "already rooted".
I'm on Linux and can't seem to get Flashtool working in either mode so that's not going to fix me. Is there a way to flash an entire rom via fastboot? I know I would need an ISO versus a ZIP file right?
Anyway, please help, this sucks and I'm at the end of my rope trying new things and don't want to make this any worse.
Anything, just point me in the right direction, I need this thing working ASAP.
Don't worry
There is no problem!
I had the same problem because i try to flash on a locked bootloader. But it is easy to unlock and to flash whatever you want.
But for you, you can flash the right version of recovry and then you can install a rom.
If you just want your smartphone to work, you can flash an official rom (with flashtool). (only official rom can be entirely flash with flashtool).
I hope you understand me
Maybe you can try @munjeni's xflasher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634
Please read OP carefully - its an very powerfull flasher....
OR
Just flash an Kernel (via fastboot) with integrated TWRP - I would recomend Adv Stock for your purpose.
Adv. Stock Kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3346328
or
EliteKernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427549
After that flash any ZIP you like...
