Download the latest flashtool version and use different FTF file.
BTW that sound booster mod don't even need unlocked bootloader....
So you unlocked your phone without reason.

[Q] Is this the latest version of CM11? FreeXperia Project, FXP325

Hi guys,
Now I have a dual recovery in my Sony Xperia Z,
I am following this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/zdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2540633
And in the last few post, there's someone who mentioned there's a FXP325
but when i go to the official download page, http://unrestrict.li/FXP
I could only see FXP303 that has the date stamped of Jan 2014; is this the latest? or should I go with Cyanogen nightlies?
ETA:
the download link for FXP303 yuga did not work

If your bootloader was locked your phone is now hardbricked and you can throw it into the trash
If it still vibrates you can try to bring it into flashmode and flash a stock .ftf file

Do you know that after your first sentence you've broked the xperia z owners heart? Don''t be so rude... If would be in his place then I tink I get a heartshock.. But you're right. Owner, try SUS, maybe it'll work.

I know how it feels like, I hard bricked my Xperia T by trying to flash a custom recovery as a kernel via an app. It refused to boot after that... (but my bootloader was unlocked)
Also he mentioned that his bootloader was still locked, this usually means that his phone is now hardbricked. The fact that his phone still vibrates could indicate that he might has luck and he recover it, and I wish it him for sure, but it is very unlikely.
Btw, I didn't meant to be rude, I'm sorry if anyone felt attacked or anything like that.

I hope you made a backup of your TA Partition before unlocking your bootloader..

Xperia Z c6603 4.4.2 advice needed

Hi.
I recently bought myself the xperia z to play with, I don't have a computer so couldn't root it how I'm used to doing it (I'm not new to rooting, custom roms and kernels etc)
So yeah, like a fool I updated it to 4.4.2 without thinking, and it's mega and I mean MEGA slow!
I wasn't to test roms and kernels on it, but for love nor money, it will not go into recovery mode, searched Google, tried all recommended ways but nothing, just boots up normal :annoying:
I've rooted it with towelroot, which was successful, installed SU and BusyBox etc. Tried using rom manager to get a recover installed but just says there isn't one available :-/
Also tried flashify but again, nothing, just crashes after a few mins of what I presume it is searching.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? All help would be massively appreciated.

Maybe you are new to sony devices because these devices do not have a separate partition for recovery.
Try THIS for TWRP
AND
Is it really that slow compared to 4.2.2 ??
Oh do they not? Google has mislead me then. Yes I'm fairly new to sonys, owned a few but never before rooted etc.
And yes, it is ridiculously slow, I have to reboot it like every 30 mins since updating from 4.3.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated

Okay, so I read through all the info withing the link you gave me, from my understanding, I can't add a recovery as I don't have a computer to do so?
I've read on other sites that you can flash then manually through stock recovery, evidently not though :-/

You don't need a PC.
Just download XZRecovery.apk from the link I gave you and install it on your phone.
Open XZRecovery app on phone and then click 'install recovery '
Thats it. Done you have recovery.
Sony phones don't come with stock recovery at all.
And yes I just updated to 4.4.4, the phone just lags alot lot.
Tried that and it failed, also, my phone will not boot now, just keeps on vibrating, from experience I think its to do with the kernel, but no computer to fix it

I'm screwed right?

So I check my xperia z for updates and see that there is one for the system, but I need to connect it to the PC to do it.
Funny thing is, my USB port is broken(I use a external charger to charge through dock connector).
So how am I going to update this thing if I can't even do that? My PC has Bluetooth but doubt that helps. Maybe someone will upload a version of the update so I can do it straight from the phone?
Or maybe I'll just buy the Z3 eventually.

Actually I updated my ladies Z over the air. It stated to connect to PC and when she couldnt get it working on her laptop for whatever reason I went back into the update, placed it on a charger and started the download.
Of course I am assuming everyone is discussing the same update? I believe hers came through (tmobile) about three weeks or so ago..

Help! Mine died too!

I think I have a battery problem.
A couple of days ago it just started bootlooping out of the blue. I can get into Recovery and reflashed ROM (beanstalk). Didn't help. I flashed stock (newest .283) in flashtool. It flashes ok but still will not boot past SONY screen.
After doing this several times here's what I see: It will boot fine and allow me to setup/install/update without problem, but *only* when connected via USB to my computer. The moment I unplug (even though battery reads 50% or 72% or 99%---I've done this many times now) it shuts off like you flip a switch either immediately or within 2 minutes of unplug. I reset (via power and vol up) and I get a SONY screen and then all goes dead again. Will not boot w/out USB plugged in.
Maybe a red herring, but it seems consistent now.
Any thoughts? No recent drops/water/new app install prior to problem that I'm aware.
Thanks--
Dave

How would PC Companion be any different than Flashtool? I thought both rebuild the partitions when flashing ftfs. I used Flashtool for the Stock flashes and TWRP for the Beanstalk flash. Again wiping everything each time.

Tried to repair the phone, but PC Companion wouldn't do the update/repair due to modified software on the phone...Do I need to relock the BL or just return to pure stock for PCC to work?

PCC won't work with unlocked BL. But it's the same thing, PCC or Flashtool, so if you have the same problem after reflashing it via Flashtool it's probably a hardware problem. ( battery or mbo)

[Q] Xperia Z DRM

Hi Everyone,
New member here , and am just getting up to speed with the Xperia Z. C6603
I have a Xperia Z C6603 that I got from eBay , it already has the clockwork recovery and an unlocked boot loader , after reading other threads about DRM and relocking to allow official downloads etc. I wanted to check if the previous owner had been diligent enough to copy and restore his DRM , is there a simple way to check?
I have gone to the Verify Certificates tool in the system menu , but am unsure what the correct output for a DRM's Xperia should be.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.
Sixx
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Thread moved
PS
Unless they gave you a separate file that was the TA backup you have lost the DRM keys forever

You can install the "official" updates using flashtool anytime and there is no special needs.
Only PC and the tool and the drivers.

Thanks AndroidFreak,
What i'm trying to do at the moment is using flash tool for mac , I've downloaded an unbranded rom for my Xperia Z , I'd like to flash it as i have no apps and half the functions are missing as i reset the phone to defaults before i realised it was rooted LOL
I'm getting error : no room left on device when i try to flash it , the bundle has been downloaded and prepared , any ideas or advice?
Also if i want to learn from the very beginning , is it possible to go back to out of the box state , ok minus ddm , but sony sony firmware and locked boot loader , no root etc. ?
Thanks for your advice , this sure is a nice friendly board.

Dual recovery has CWM. But now you don need to install anything else.
so just wipe everything from cwm and install the ROM and done!

Hi AF,
Sorry for such a noobie set of questions , maybe I'm not safe with a rooted phone LOL
I just managed to relock my boot loader , then nothing booted
Re-Run flash tool then unlocked again, brilliant CWM and phone booting again , I'm bguessing it needs a unlocked boot loader?
(won't be doing that again in a hurry)
When you say copy the Zip files to my phone , do you mean to the SD card and then install .zip from SD using CWM?
Ideally , i'd like to end up with a locked boot loader and stock firmware , sort of day 0 stuff , then leaRN from scratch , but it's a step learning curve
Sorry in advance if i sound like a lamer.

Yes they will.
To go back on Sony stock kernel and firmware just flash FTF with flashtool and done. But the root and CWM recovery will wiped. You can root and install CWM any time.
And bootloader relocking. Did you made a TA partition backup before you unlock??

Unfortunately , i got this phone pre rooted and boot loader unlocked , hence I'm playing catchup , but the DRM is already lost
NO biggy these things happen.
I'm just flashing a stock FTF at the moment , but it seems to have hung for about 10 mins , I'm a bit scared to unplug it before it ends in case i brick it?

Just wait at least 20 mins. And don't even think about unplug it during the firmware installing.
