Hi! I need some help in unbricking my Xperia ZR C5502. I flashed the Meow kernal and now its keeps rebooting. I need the stock kernal in ftf format or some steps to flash stock kernal..
I am currently try to use Flashtool but it suppports only ftf format i think...I tried one russian ftf extract and due to that my sony logo is back but it is still rebooting again and again.
Flash an original ftf firmware on your device through flashtool...

Hi. I am on GingerDX v024 now and i wanted to flash Alfs 8a kernel, and when I did, I stuck at infinite bootloop (Alfs logo>reset>alfs logo...and so on) I flashed then older 8 version, and even stock kernel but it didn't help. Only way to fix it was by flashing it back to stock 2.1 and again install GDX v024. So now there is a question: my baseband is 006, is it the problem that I'm stuck on bootloop after installing a kernel for this ROM? Thanks in advance!

You surely need a newest baseband xxx015. You can update your baseband by PC companion.
Then reinstall the rom, full wipe then flash alfs.
Thanks for reply Can I do this via Flashtool (because Companion doesn't work)? And which .ftf file should I choose? And can I do this on current GDX v024 or flash it back to stock 2.1??
Yes, you can use FlashTool. Download the ftf file from here. Isn't necessary back to stock 2.1
So if I have E15i, then I should go for "E15i Baseband 015", right? I'd rather ask ten times, than crying after bricked phone

You can restore to stock rom by using older stock rom nandroid backup if u got any

U can use Flashtool to flash it back to stock rom too...

That would not work
kernel.sin is the file in the ftf you need to convert. Flashtool has everything you need to convert it and get access to the files inside.
What is the safest way to come back to STOCK rom on my Xperia Z? Installing update using Sony PC Companion will do it ?
Did you unlock your bootloader? If so Sony's update services wont help you. Did you make a TA backup?
Yes, I have unlocked bootloader , but unfortunately I haven't done TA backup.
As already stated, you cannot use official Sony tools to update etc with an unlocked bootloader.
The best solution is for you to use Flashtool to flash a stock FTF. My guide shows how to download and flash stock firmware: How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format
If you don't want to package your own FTF, you can simply download one from the Xperia Z general section and flash it following the instructions in my guide.

You will have to relock your bootloader to update via any official method. Flashtool can do this using the "BLU" button. Do not do this if you're using a custom kernel or you will soft brick your phone. Do it after flashing stock firmware.
You should then be able to update via PC Companion and OTA.
