I was using PAC ROM on my Xperia Z since after few weeks after buying the phone, but i find PAC rom kinda slow, so I wanted to go back to stock kernel,rom. So I decidede to relock bootloader(I already did it once and went back to PAC). But this time, after relock my phone is dead, all I can do is get it into flashmode and fastboot. I am not able to flash stock firmware. I need help, please guys. I can post logs, screenshot, whatever you need.
if the phone is able to get into flashmode and fastboot it is not bricked at all you should be able to reflash stock rom without any issue I suggest using flashtool and google how to flash to stock rom xperia z
Thank you for your fast reply. I am gonna keep trying from other PCs, with fresh install of flashtool and drivers. Does the version of stock firmware make any difference?
I have managed to unbrick it by flashing stock firmware as you said. I am very happy but I would still like to get my device rooted, But something based on stock kernel not some crazy stuff. Could you tell me how? Dont wanna mess up things again

Try flashing doomkernel again in recovery.
Or try flashing a stock FTF in flashtool or a stock based custom rom.
Do a full factory reset before doing so and make sure you backup anything you want to keep
After leaving ma phone home for a day from school, things are back to normal.. Very strange.. Now going to see if the problem occurs again, but in the weekend I'm going to reset my phone, just to be sure. Btw, had already flashed the doomkernel again and it didn't work.

please help me...!!!
Any advice/guide/help will be really appreciated..!!!!
At unlocking BL you modified your TA partition, so Bravia Engine 2 doesn't work anymore.
If you want to revert back to stock you need:
Flashtool(FT)
A .ftf File(FlashToolFile, this contains the whole System of the phone)
Some time(it will take up to an hour for everything set up correctly)
A Windoze Box
So you need to get your device in Flashmode, then flash the stock ftf with FT, and finally relock bootloader.
If you need more info, just ask

I am new to rooting and stuff.
So recently I bought Sony Xperia SP C502 .
The current firmware version is 12.1.A.1.205 .
I want to root my phone and install eXistenZ 4.0.0( rom based on stock rom )
My bootloader is locked.
Bootloader unlock is allowed.I don't want to unlock the bootloader.
Is it possible to root and install the rom without unlocking the bootloader ?
Will rooting and installing the rom automatically unlock it ?
please help I am a noob.

So installing it won't unlock my bootloader ?
Because i don't want to lose DRM keys and BE2.
See bro
Root it using app called towel root
Install super su not from play store
Install busybox installer from playstore
Install a custom recovery
And flash it
You won't be unlocking your bootloader
You can flash it on locked bootloader too.Flashing this rom won't unlock your bootloader

Steps for Switching Rom
I am currently using Cm11 on sony xperia sp, I have a unlocked BL and root access.
I would like to switch to a new custom rom now like XperianZe. I tried also, and in the process i bricked and also had a bootloop.
Can anyone please explain the detailed steps to do a fresh install to a new custom rom like XperianZe.

Just follow the mentioned instructions in the respective thread. And as for Xperianz as you mentioned, you have to read this post.
Based on the post, it seemed the installation is straight forward. What makes you have a bootloop? Did you flashed the kernel mentioned in the thread via fastboot?

yes, you guessed correct. i tried flashing the kernel. And the phone didn't start at all.. not even power up.
Later i read a post in XDA, in which it was described that i should do a hard rest by pushing the hole button at back and then try to boot.
Tats when i got boot-loop. I again flashed the custom kernel (DooMLoRD) and did installed CM11 again using CM recovery. Then the phone booted cm 11.
I followed this link and tried doing so. which resulted in phone not powering up and then boot-loop.
So now if i install Xperianz ROM following instruction in this link, it should be working properly correct?
Am sorry if am asking dump questions. Now am a bit scared to try to switch to this cutom ROM as i may end up bricking the phone again. The thing is I really don't want to mess it up again.
I am new to rooting n playing around with custom ROM. CM11 was my first try and was a success in first go.
Thank you for helping me.

I am concerned about how you flashed the kernel. How did you flash the kernel provided in the thread? Did you use adb or FlashTool?
If you want to try any other you can use Existenz as it require only the stock kernel.

I used FLashtool to flash the kernal.
If my understanding is correct, As of now i am not on stock kernal. When instaling CM11, I flashed the kernal of DoomLord for getting CM 6. recovery.
If this is the case should i flash the stock kernal first and then give a try for Existenz?

Well Existenze require most Sony things out of the box, so you'll first need to have Stock ROM in place before flashing it's ZIP. I've dug through the Xperianze thread for you and seemed like your problem is not to be found in the thread. If you really want to try out Xperianze, you might want to flash the kernel via fastboot using adb, rather than Flashtool.

Hi guys. I customized my Xperia Z C6602 quite a while ago now, may be 5 years ago. Screen broke at that time, and I bought another phone as I couldn't buy another screen. Now I've managed to get a new screen and replaced it, and I want to sell this phone, but it's still customized, and I don't remember like anything that I did. I want to go back to stock.
I was about to follow the [GUIDE] How to revert your phone from CM/AOSP/AOKP/PAC to STOCK, but I read it could be "overkill", and so I though it would be better to ask. Let me tell you what I have right now:
CyanogenMod Version: 12.1-20150803-UNOFFICIAL-yuga
Compilation Number: cm_yuga-userdebug 5.1.1 LMY48G 1fba35b830
Core Version: 3.4.0-cm-ge347aa9-00481-ge09347c

Xperia Compannion says it won't restore because it's unlocked bootloader. Emma doesn't recognize the phone (I think it only works for C6603, not C6602). I can't think of others "official" ways to go back. Should I follow the revert guide? Or what should I do?
Thanks you very much in advance!!
Using Flashtool then
I had fresh experience with going back to Stock.
Download and Install Flashtool.
Download Stock 4.4.4 ftf
Download Stock 5.1.1 ftf.
1.Put your phone in Flashmode(powered off;while connecting usb to pc,hold Vol Down button,it should flash Green light,also Flashtool should say 'Device connected in Flashmode')
2.Flash Stock 4.4.4 ftf(download ftf based on your region,or your phone original firmware).
3.Check if its bootup to 4.4.4
4.Now again put phone in flashmode
5.Flash stock 5.1.1. ftf
6.Done,you are on Stock now.
Now why to flash 4.4.4 first??
Reason-If you flash directly 5.1.1,the phone wont boot after bootlogo,just black screen.I don't know what causes it,but all have experienced it here.
So this the only way to get back to stock rom.
Link for Stock ftf you can find in the forum.Use the search function
4.4.4-10.5.1.A.0.283
5.1.1.-10.7.A.0.222/228
