Thats because doomkernel is only for stock Sony based roms,it wont work for cm/aosp based roms!!!
Since doomkernel is already installed, you should be able to access the recovery like normal.just get into the recovery and flash the cyanogenmod zip again.that zip will flash the cm kernel back on your device and everything will work fine

Bricked?

I just tried to install pacman rom with CWM on my xperia z, it seemed to get stuck on install so i powered off, now its appearing to boot loop and showing the sony logo and nothing else.
Any ideas while i get googling?!
If you can still get into CWM, flash another rom. Else use flashtool an an original ftf
I cant get into CWM but can connect in fastboot and flash mode with flashtool.
Can i flash a custom rom this way?
You can flash stock roms & kernels, you'll have to reroot etc again but your phone will work again
There's plenty of unbranded software's for both 6603/2 in the development sections.

When tou upgraded from the 2.1.5 to 3.3.0 you need to reinstall the recovery again. Now you can try install Existenz again downgrading first to 4.1 and installing the recovery. The same thing happened to me

Xperia SP boot loop

Hello,
I unlocked bootloader on my SP and flashed it with DooMKernel. Then, i installed Cyanogenmod. But i flashed it with doom again. Now, i am stuck in boot loop. It just shows doomkernel loading, and then some graphical artifacts, and then restarts itself
What i should do ?
DoomKernel only works on Stock Based ROMS
So reflash CM
Thats the problem i wont get into recovery ! I just see Doomlord screen and then some mumbo jumbo with black lines and blue screen
Okay now i flashed stock kernel with CWM and TWRP but i can no more install Cyanogenmod, installation fails...
Reflash stock and start over.... That is all you can do now since the recovery seems to be gone?
(Or try advanced kernel with recovery in it)
Okay it worked ! I flashed it with this kernel

And then just wiped data and installed android, worked like a charm...
Great
Enjoy your revived PHone

[Q] Xperia SP C5302 Stuck in boot logo! PLEASE HELP!

I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!
I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool

[Q] Won't boot into CWM

Hello everyone,
I'd appreciate some help here.
I've been using my xperia tx on 4.3 JB for quite a while now but it consumed my battery like hell. So I flashed it back to 4.1.2 JB stock fw.
Now here's the problem, as i'd like to flash to carbon rom and to do so I need to boot into cwm recovery. I've downloaded CWM 9i_JB by davidmarco or something like that and it installed successfully. My phone is rooted and it has unlocked bootloader. I tried several times to boot into cwm with restarting my phone then when Sony logo appears I was consistently pressing volume down button and nothing happened, my phone booted normally. I've also downloaded Rom Manager to try and boot into cwm but that didn't work also. I don't really know where the problem is and i'd appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance,
Sandi
edit:
I've flashed another kernel with cwm integrated in it so everything works fine now.
