Bootloop - no OS in my Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll tell you what happened yesterday... I restored a June backup (which I took when I sent my C9603 to be repaired abroad) in recovery mode after taking a new one with Philz Touch CWM. In both Roms I have LP 5.0.2 (14.5.A.0.270). So when I wanted to restore the latest backup I noticed I couldn't enter CWM but just TWRP, so that got me quite mad... Anyway I tried reinstalling the Dualrecovery but still one of them worked while the other one didn't. What I did then is definitely whe worst thing I could have thought of: I wiped EVERYTHING (except for the external SD) in recovery to try and flash a clean rom with flashtool, but since I shut down the phone after wiping it has only been able to turn on and show sony xperia logo, and I can't make it work with flashtool!
Somebody help, please

I have gotten a pretty much the same case as you (wiping all the storages). I used flashtool to get back to stock. Did you ever use flashtool? Because I remember when I was trying,it did not work because I went to recovery before they tell me to. xD

[Q] Flashed wrong CWM before trying to flash new kernel.

I tried to flash the boot image for my first custom rom using easy kernel flasher, and my Vivid is now stuck at the white HTC screen. I then realized that I had used rom manager to flash CWM, even though I had already flashed the custom CWM from the superguide. Is this what caused my phone to hang at the HTC screen?
Is it safe to pull my battery? What is the next step, repeat step 2 from the superguide and then reflash the new kernel and rom?
I apologize if this has already been answered, I just haven't seen this exact question elsewhere and I don't want to pull my battery without being sure that I won't brick my phone or make my problem worse.
Rom manager does not work for our phones. That is why your phone is stuck. I remember another post like this. The guy pulled the battery and flashed the new cwm image without rom manager and it worked. I believe you would start at step two to correct your issue. Let us know how it goes for you.
Ok I pulled the battery and put it back in and now it won't boot at all. The power light flashes orange and then nothing happens. I'm getting a bit more worried about this now.

Alright, so I just did the same exact thing you did... updated CWM from ROM manager and tried to backup the ROM, hung at HTC screen. I haven't gone through the steps to reverting my CWM yet but I did get it to boot. Pull the battery, put it back, boot into HBOOT and let it do its thing, go to fastboot and then reboot. Give it a minute. Mine came back, set for a while at the boot image but it came back.
I just did the whole thing again but with out the HBOOT process and it worked too. Didn't take nearly as long as before at the boot image. Try both or see if you can't get to recovery from HBOOT. I'm pretty new to the Vivid since this is my wifes phone and its a lot different from my Inspire, the process of everything that is
Now reading your 1st post again, I didn't do the exact thing you did but close...
I tried again and it went in to h-boot, and i was able to reinstall the custom vivid CWM. But now I'm not sure if the kernel flash which started all this worked. Is there a way to find out while in recovery?
Should I reboot the phone now, or just flash the rom I was planning on flashing originally? Or should i try to return everything to stock and start all over?

Thanks man. I got into recovery and fixed the CWM problem, but now I'm not sure what kernel I have running so I don't know if its safe to reboot.
Though I know how to use CWM I couldn't tell you how to check your kernel and whatnot from there. Best thing I can think of, or what I'd do, would be to wipe everything out and restore a nandroid, granted if you have one I've never really messed with kernels untill now so I don't even know if that would work
I realized I could just reflash the kernel while I was in recovery. It hung at the htc screen on the reboot like before, but i just pulled the battery, went back into recovery, flashed the rom, and now everything is working perfectly with the new rom. What a relief.
I think the original kernel flash may have actually worked, and I just freaked out when it hung at the htc screen and assumed it was because of the rom manager/cwm thing. It may have been fine all along.
Here is something that will help with flashing kernels.

Flash Image GUI
ok i did the same thing awhile ago, i flashed new CWM then insatlled rom ...the Kernal did load thats the reason you got the white screen ..so just go ahead and load your rom you should be fine

Keeps restarting for no reason - rooted

I rebooted my phone to install a font and now it continues to turn on (HTC logo) and then restart. Tried to get into recovery and it just exits...
I had my phone off at night and turned it on - read a few text messages - and went to replace the ****ty font I installed yesterday.
Just looping.
Any help?
Can't even turn it off lol - I would need to go into bootloader and click power down. It is odd - I didn't do anything and it started up perfectly before 5 minutes I did the fonts.

I flashed the recovery with CWM and installed Android Revolution HD 6.1
I was just wondering if it was safe to re-flash the recovery again to see if it would work. I don't want to screw up this phone lol.
EDIT: Got it. Reflashed the recovery and had to reflash the ROM.
I don't know why a simple font change would screw ALL of that up. I don't want to keep flashing this ROM lol it has been about 4 times now.

You need to reflash what ever was on it. Hopefully you made a backup if not and were on stock find the correct nandroid back or RUU for your phone and flash that. You can also try doing a factory reset that may bring it back.
agreed...try to re-flash everything to stock than go from there to find what is causing the problem.

CWM Not Working at all...

Hey all, hopefully someone can help me out. Ill post the full story and the tl;dr version at the end.
So, my Xperia TL (LT30at) has been rooted for over a year and a half. Since i rooted it it never charged when turned off. I did research and couldnt figure out why, so i left it and have lived with it for the last year and a half. However, i just updated my phone to JB 4.3 by Dark Lord (Ultimate Pure XT ROM) so the model number is actually Xperia T (LT30) Anyways, the phone dies a lot quicker than before so the other day it died and because it wont charge when it is off i usually wrap a rubber band over the power button so itll charge enough to turn on and then charge by itself after that. However, it would only charge enough this time to boot, but then turn right back off. I did this for well over a day and got sick of it not working so i tried messing with things. In the process, I was in recovery (it was philz cwm or something like that, by the way im quite a noob when it comes to all of this, hence why im having problems) and i flashed the xposed disabler zip, thinking it would get rid of cwm because i didnt know what I was doing. It did end up getting the phone to turn on, and its charging great. However, the system UI crashes, and the "unfortunately the system UI has stopped working" pops up repeatedly so you cannot physically do anything on the phone. I tried going back into recovery to flash my backup to fix everything, but it was downgraded back to an older version of cwm, the version i origonally had on it before the 4.3 update. its like 6.0.3 or something, by david marcos or something. Anyway, itll go into recover but a bunch of error messages come up, like unknown volume path, no etc/recover.fstab, stuff like this. There is no way to flash any recoveries because it basically says it cannot find the paths. It will not backup, restore, wipe anything, flash from sideload, nothing. Ive tried all i can think of. Basically cwm comes on but i cant use it for anything. Instead i tried reinstalling cwm to try to fix it, but when i do it says "system cannot find path specified" so it wont download.
tl;dr version, cwm wont work at all after flashing xposed-disabler.zip. i cannot flash any recoveries or install anything through the usb. What do i need to do to fix this? because the system ui keeps crashing my phone is basically useless. thanks for dealing with a numskull..thanks in advance.
You can flash a stock rom with kernel using flash tool and then flash recovery and restore your backup.

why i didn't think of that, i dont know.
This worked as far as getting the phone to boot and whatnot, however the phone died and because it doesnt charge when it is off, i cant turn it on. it will boot and itll get all the way to the home screen but it immediately shuts back down, even though it is plugged in. Is there any way to fix this charging bug? i did some research and found it is linked to cwm, however now that i flashed the stock rom i no longer have cwm on the phone, so why does it still not charge when off? Thanks for the help by the way..

Sony ZR rebooting after Resurrection Remix M v.5.7.3

Hi all,
I have a big problem with my phone.
I wanted to try out Resurrection Remix on my phone.
I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img with fastboot.
After reboot i saw the Teamwin logo and then i did a full wipe of everything, except SD Card (like i always do when i install a custom rom)
Then i installed Resurrection Remix M v.5.7.3.zip from sd and gapps, then wiped cache and pressed reboot.
No error with flashing, when the phone booted and i saw some logo's, took like 2-3 minutes and then the phone went off and started to reboot and reboot, had to take the battery off to let it stop.
Since then my phone isn't working properly, i tried to flash different kinds of stock roms with flash tool including wipe options.
No errors with flashing, but the phone still doesn't boot or it goes off after Sony logo then i leave the battery out for 10 mins or so then it starts and it looks normal, i can install aps, i can call, but the first time when i reboot my phone with this new install it's back to rebooting. I tried to leave my battery out for 10 hours but it doesn't help.
I tried to relock my bootloader and then unlock it again.
If i tried to install twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img it's going to reboot also, i tried airless or evomix kernel, then recovery starts but when i try to install a custom rom zip, and try to flash it my phone reboots after 5 seconds.
And now i don't know what to do anymore, so please anyone? help?
Thanks in advance!
did you try installing stock rom with flashtool ?
What was your android version when you first flash TWRP 3.0.2 recovery?If you are coming from stock lollipop then you should flash TWRP 3.0.2 (.228).Make sure you unlocked phone bootloader.Use advance clean in the recovery,select all except sd card and clean all.Then try flashing RR Rom again.Do wipe cache/Delvik after flashing RR Rom and before flashing GAPPS.

Yes, i tried atleast :
C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf
C5503_10.6.A.0.454_HK.ftf
C5503_10.7.A.0.228_TR.ftf
And used all wipe options.
I used Emma tool, after that i removed the battery from the phone for 48 hours, then it booted the second time. I charged the battery and i left it like this for a few hours, then i tried to reboot but it went off after 20 seconds, tried to boot again but it goes off after Sony logo.

My version was CM 13 (cm-13.0-20160801-UNOFFICIAL-dogo.zip) that was working very well, but before i flashed RR i did advanced cleaning and i checked everything except SD Card and USB OTG and a factory reset and after flashing pressed wipe cache/dalvik and then i rebooted.
The phone is off now without battery. This Sony doesn't have recovery, buttons aren't working and they never did, i can only flash twrp with fastboot wich makes it only boot into recovery and then i used this to flash custom roms.
I only started to flash custom roms about a month ago because someone gave me this Sony ZR, i bought a new original battery for it but when i call on speaker there is some underwater bubbling sound and i also wanted marshmallow and i hoped this may fix the bubbling sound, with CM 13 the sound was already better but didn't fix it completely.
TWRP won't let me flash anything anymore, it's starting to flash but after 5 seconds it reboots back into recovery.
Edit: Is it possible that there is still stuff in the RAM that is causing problems?
Edit: I thought i'm going to this phone another try. I installed twrp-3.0.2-0-dogo.img and it boots, also this version didn't want to boot anymore but now it does. I wiped everything, also SD Card, i checked everything is empty. Before i couldn't wipe my SD Card anymore and in Windows all files showed double and i couldn't copy files. Going to charge it first and think about what i want try to flash. Wipe cache/dalvik and then flash gapps is a good idea.
Edit: it almost charged now, when it charged i will remove the battery again for the night, i will decide later what i'm going to do.

Someone maybe played with your phone in underwater to cause bubbling sound.I don't see any hardware problem in your phone.You maybe did something wrong or anything else that your phone behaving like this.Listen,You first flash a stock rom.Lollipop would be better because you can flash flashable twrp 3.0.2(.228) via flash fire or flashify app.I once tried flashing twrp img through fastboot and it caused bootloop.So I always use flashable zip.Fastboot for emergency.And try to reformatting your system pertition.I hope this will work or you'll need expert developer to help you.Maybe Daedroza can help you if my sugg. don't work.

The bubbling sound is a known issue with some Sony smartphones, on google i have read more stories about this problem, not only zr but also other Z models. The problem is caused by the second mic i think, if i use loudspeaker when calling and i lay the phone on the back the sound is much better. I saw on other thread about this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help/disable-mic-t3434997
On YouTube you can find many movies about this, for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC6JbuQJ_gg
It's really annoying for the other person to hear these sounds when you are calling. They need to listen very carefully to understand you, but it's only when you call on speaker.
When i wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time i wanted to do this with apps on my phone. I rooted my phone with kingroot and used an app to check if the phone was really rooted. I installed twrp app and tried to install recovery but it gave an error. I tried to install recovery with Flashify but then it says that the recovery partition is not present. When i try to flash with Flashify it says it's going to reboot into recovery but then the the phone boots like normal. The only way for me to get a recovery on the phone is just flashing with fastboot or using flashtool. Doomlord kernel and XZDualrecovery don't boot, only twrp is working.

First of all change the kingroot with supersu.Kingroot root access control not so stable.Download selinux mode changer to set in permissive mode.If you are at LP version,twrp app won't install recovery or support it.flash twrp3.0.2(.228) via flashify or different flashing app.selinux permissive mode will let you to go to recovery mode.By the way,xzdualrecovery is for locked bootloader and should boot without any problem.I don't know it will work on unlocked bootloader or not.So try your best what I have told and this is all I have to share from my own experience.

I flashed the latest Lollipop and it's back to rebooting, i see the sony logo and before it says powered by android it goes off. I removed the battery again, i will try to root the phone and use selinux mode changer when it's booting. It wil take atleast 12 hours without battery before it boots.

Is there any problem with your phone?Did you experiment your phone too much?I don't get it,why after flashing stock rom via flashtool gives you bootloops if no error showed up while flashing!!Is this your battery problem?And I think so because few months ago my phone battery heavily damaged and therefor It don't charge and my phone didn't bootup but bootlooping.I first thought it was my mistake to flash rom incorrectly.So i had to flash stock rom via flashtool to go back to normal but unfortunetly PC don't recoznige my phone not even fastboot.I was worried and couldn't do anything and went to service center,they changed the battery with new one and my phone comes to life again.Mainly this was for my local charger fault.it also damaged in that day too.SO brought a orginal sony charger.But you said you brought a new battery too then how come you face bootloops.well if there is no error message shows up I can't help you with anything.Only better expert member can help you.By the way you can collect log via adeb fastboot if your phone fastboot mod work.
Here is the inst:
1. Install the Android Debug Bridge using http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
2. Instructions on installing Android Debug Bridge are located here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android- debug-bridge-utility
3. Run the following commands:
“adb logcat -c" (This clears the logs.)
4. Reproduce the issue.
5. Then, run the following command to capture the logs in a file:
“adb logcat -d > Name_of_Log_File.txt"
maybe it will gives some clues what is happening.

I tried my old battery and it boots, already booted up 3x times. I never thought it maybe the battery because it's only 2 months old. Thanks so much for your help.
I tried to install recovery with selinux permissive mode and flashify but i stil can't install recovery.
It says: Partition not found, your recovery partition couldn't be found. You won't be able to flash recovery images. You can stil flash zip files.
I don't think it's possible to have recovery on this phone, atleast not the normal way.
Edit: I flashed RR and it's working fine. I'm so happy it's working again, i never really used this old battery but i think it's not so bad at all. I only lost 8% battery with flashing and booting RR. I never really thought it was the battery because it was charging normal, i used it for 2 months or something without problems.

If it was a battery problem then change it or carefully use it.And the error you are facing is because the latest flashify has some bugs.But now as you are already using RR MM rom.You can download twrp app and use this app to install recovery.

I tried to install recovery, flashify hangs all the time, twrp app gives an error when i try to install recovery and flashfire says there is no partition for this image. I thought i'll do a factory reset in RR and when the phone rebooted i saw twrp. I tried with pressing the buttons when booting but no luck. I used reboot into recovery option and it worked. This is the first custom rom that gave my phone recovery.
I will throw the battery away and use the old battery, i can always buy a new one later.

OH!So that the old recovery occupied all the recovery partition space that you are unable to install twrp recovery.But old recovery should be replaced by new recovery,that's strange.well I don't know how did this happen but don't use fastboot to install recovery or anything else,It's for emergency.I'm not fully familiar with fastboot though,I tried once before and caused trouble. I hope your troubles are gone now.

My phone don't have any partition recovery, i tried 100x times with stock rom to boot recovery, with buttons, with apps that boot in recovery. I do have recovery with RR rom, but it's not in the recovery partition. I tried Tesla, CM 13, XOSP but still no recovery. I tried to boot recovery with all roms, but it doesn't matter. It's fine now, been playing a bit with RR and it's a nice rom. Thank you for helping.

No OS no TWRP need help

So after having my Xperia Z3 Compact for 5 years or so. I decided to try to install Lineage OS. Everything was going ok until I turned off TWRP with my OS wiped. I do have a backup on TWRP. But the thing is when I turn my phone on there is just a Sony logo and nothing happens. I tried going back into TRWP with volume up but nothing happens when I do that. I can go into fastboot mode though. Is there any other way to go in TWRP? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I read other forums with a similar problem but everybody seem to able to go back into TWRP.
P.S I am a noob.
Nevermind. Fixed it.
