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

How to flash CM11 from Stock?

Hello guys,
I'm on Stock Rom (10.3.1.A.2.67) and rooted (unlocked bootloader) it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405 method.
Now I want to switch to CM11, but I have Problems installing a recovery. Which recovery should I use and how can I flash it?
(I was on existenZ before and I wanted to install CM11 from recovery (dual recovery) but installation failed -> bootloop. So I had to reflash Stock Firmware with the Sony Flash Tool)

Use flash tool and flash the recovery kernel
OR
Use PhilZ touch Recovery Installer to install recovery!
If you have any 4.4.2 ROM(in zip file) go to it's zip and find boot.img
Use this boot.img file to install recovery(FLASH VIA Flashtool)

you may try flashing a custom kernel which has recovery included in it. you will need flashtool

Bootloop after unlocking bootloader

Hello
Yesterday I've rooted my phone and then I wanted to install a custom rom (CarbonRom).
I've read that I have to unlock the bootloader for installing a custom rom. I did this with the flashtool.
After that my phone stuck in bootloop.
I have restored my phone with twrp recovery and it works now. But I still have a locked bootloader.
I have read that I have to install a stock rom to prevent a bootloop. I only rooted my device so my phone still should have the stock rom on it.
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader properly?
Thanks in advance
