Hello!,
I was trying for the first time to install CWM Recovery. While following guide for XPeria M2, I flashed a CWM Kernel intended for XPeria M2 using Flashtool. My phone does not boot after that.
I would really appreciate any help on how can I bring my phone back to life and install CWM. The bootloaded is already unlocked.
Thanks,
Amit
If you can still connect with Flashtool - then just connect and flash the correct kernel for your ROM.
:good:

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.

Stock rom installed thank you!
Hi all
I have CM 10.2 and CWM recovery installed on my Z. Now I'm going to sell it and would like to "revert" to the stock ROM.
I realized that the Flash Tool by Bin4ry and Androxyde only works with stock, locked bootloaders so I cannot install original ROMs the "normal" way.
I assume I need to find a stock ROM image zipped in a format that is compatible with CWM recovery, and flash from there?
Thanks for all help
nope it should work with any Rom just download the ftf you want and flash it it would work with any Sony Device either Locked or Unlocked
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
I rooted my xperia z1 yesterday and installed a cm11 custom rom and everything worked like a charm but then i installled doomkernel v22 through recovery mode zip file installer of my phone, and when i rebooted my phone it left it in a boot loop. I have tried pretty much every thing but can't get it out of boot loop.
i don't have usb debugging turned on, so when i try to flash a stock firmware from flash tool it doesn't goes through!
urgent help required on this!
thanks in advance.

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
Hi People,
I'm new here and I do have a problem over, as the title says, my Xperia Z (C6603) won't boot up anymore.
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, I also rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 12 afterwards using TWRP, this was working perfect and stable.
Today I found out my phone wasn't rooted at all after I installed Cyanogenmod 12. So I wanted to start over again using this way (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873).
So what I've basically done, I installed Xperiaz_10.5.A.0.230_kernel_only.ftf over the CM12 mod, after this my phone doesn't want to boot anymore, getting stuck at the the 'Sony' logo.
Tried to do TWRP -> Factory reset, but it didn't work.
Should I install a full .zip stock rom again instead of the FTF file to restore my old rom?
Kind regards,
xChillz
My root guide and the files provided there are for rooting the 2 stock roms in the thread title only.
You cannot flash a stock kernel onto a custom rom. This is why your device isn't booting.
You can get your device booting in a couple of ways:
1. Extract the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod rom zip and flash it using fastboot. This should allow you to boot into your CM12 rom again.
2. Flash a stock FTF. This will bring your phone back to complete stock. How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format

Thanks for the quick reply!
Could you tell me where I can get a 10.5.A.0.230 stock FTF or can I just Google it?
xChillz.
Thanks bro,
Installed the 10.5.A.0.230 stock FTF, then I installed CM12 and it works!
