Hey, guys I have this problem. I had my bootloader unlocked and was using liquid smooth... until today when i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/xperiasp-locked-bootloader-lbl-t2947194 via recovery... it was too buggy so I attempted to flash back a different ROM but I couldnt for some reason. After I clicked to fix my root permissions now when i boot up my phone it is stuck on a SONY logo with a red LED. I tried to flash FTF via fastboot but when flashing system.sin it says that the file is too big. What do I do guys to put it back into a working condition ? I tried flashtool but id disconnnects after like 30 seconds I can go to the CWM but when trying to flash rom that i have on my sd, it says SD card cant be mounted.
Solved. Can be closed.

Hey!
I tried flashing CM10.1 but something went wrong when I flashed the boot.img. Whenever I try to flash a new boot.img in fastboot the phone reboots before the install is complete. I then tried to install the Doomkernel v06 through recovery (both CWM and TWRP), it seems like it works and I tried to install another room I had (KA05), still stuck in bootloop.
There is no green led when entering flashboot, but the flashtool finds the phone before it restarts again.
So yeah.. I'm rather stuck with no possibility of flashing stock ftf and no way of flashing anything but the Doomkernel v06 through recovery.
[SOLVED!!]
I managed to solve this by trying to install different roms and kernels. Ended up with Cyanogenmod (the one I was trying in the first place).
Not sure I'll be able to change back to anything though, but yeah at least it's not dead
Oh, and the kernel and rom I tried with was on the internal SD from earlier (backup if something went wrong)
ok, I managed to get into Cyanogenmod 10.1 now!
However, I don't have service, and it doesn't appear to find my sim-card
Hello everybody!
I used to have a working stock firmware 2.67 Android 4.2.2, but I decided to unlock my bootloader.
I did the operation twice and then I encountered bootloop issue.
I downloaded a stock firmware and flashed it using Androxyde Flashtool.
Oh god! The firmware FTF file was corrupted.
I AM sure that it was corrupted.
Next up, I booted my device but it won't let me inside: Just the SONY screen and a black screen and afterwards and it goes off.
Then I flashed CWM Recovery as a boot.img file. After that I entered (luckily!) the CWM recovery, Cleaned Cache and performed Hard reset and installed the CyanogenMod 10.2 Yuga Nightly (or sth like that) as a zip. It said that it had been successful.
Despite that, when I rebooted device through CWM, I got the CyanogenMod boot screen( a blue orbit moving around) and it shows that forever!
What is wrong with my smartphone?
How can I fix this thing without a fresh installation of the stock firmware?
And if you flash cm again without wipe data?
Do you tryed to flash only an other kernel?
Tipp: always do Backups before flashing new CFWs.
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.
Hey guys please help! I was running Paranoid Android custom rom and installed xposed framework and Android-L navigation bar module, it asked me to rename build.prop with a code and after that whn i rebooted the phone after the sony logo nothing appeared i tried and rebooted several times but the same issue.
