I have a Sony Xperia Z1 and I have had cyanogenmod12.1 on my device for a little while now, but there are a couple of bugs and I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod11, so I downloaded the cm11 zip file onto my device and copyed it to the sd card,I then downloaded TWRP manager because the cyanogenmod recvoary does not have a zip file or flash part in the recovary, so I followed the procedures and then I flashed TWRP recovary. Once I got into the TWRP recovary I found the zip file for cm11 I then clicked flash. Not long later it said succesfull and then i had to reboot, i clicked reboot and this is where it whet wrong. My device then went into a bootloop because I left my device for 10mins. I then tried to access the custom recovary but it just came up with the sony logo and no custom recovary has come up since.

Hello,

If you made a backup, flash dual recovery then restore the backup?
Otherwise flash stock and start again
The only solution is to flash your firmware and start from zero point
Since you said there is bootloop and no recovery
Or you can flash twrp img file through fastboot mode
But for safety flash is best
You do not need to do a fresh flash. Doing so without deselected some things might wipe data like photos.
1. If you don't already have the fastboot and ADB drivers, get them here
2. Download a kernel with recovery and extract the boot.img
3. Open up command prompt in the folder the boot.img is in
4. Make sure your device is turned off completely
5. Hold volume down while attaching it to your computer
6a. If you just want to have temporary acces to recovery type in this code:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
6b. If you want to keep acces and use the recovery after rebooting type in this code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Enter recovery the way you would normally do, backup your important files and/or flash the new rom and kernel you would like to use

Hey guys, I'm having a weird little problem here.
So I followed this guide here, unlocked my bootloader, everything fine.
So far so good. I flashed the mentioned TWRP Recovery through fastboot, no error messages, still looks like everything's fine.
But whenever I try to get from the fastboot screen on my phone into recovery mode, the screen stays black.
I tried restoring to stock, hoping that would add the original recovery back in. Nope, still black screen.
After that, I successfully flashed the recovery from this thread. Again, no error messages and everything looked fine. But still no luck. My recovery screen stays black for whatever reason.
I'm on Windows 8.1 64Bit and using the current Android SDK. The SDK setup had a little problem with finding Java JDK (64Bit) before I could set it up properly. But I solved that one by adding a system variable. Again, nothing out of the ordinary here, at least as far as I understand.
So what am I doing wrong?
I'd really like to get a custom rom with root on this baby. Don't wanna be stuck on stock. :/
Does anybody have an idea, how I could manage to access any kind of recovery in this case?
If the screen stay black then something went wrong
Fastboot gave you the OKAY on flashing ? Did you reboot your phone after you flashed the recovery ?
You don't have to, if you reboot you will have the stock one again = black screen.
Try like i did (assuming you correctly unlocked the bootloader, and installed MotorolaDeviceManager).
1) Get the right recovery for XT1072 from the author's post HERE.
2) Download the latest CM rom from HERE and latest CM gapps package from HERE.
3)Move the CM rom and the gapps zips on the SD or EMMC then reboot to bootloader.
4)Flash the recovery whit "fastboot flash recovery twrp-thea.img" and check if you got the OKEY from fastboot (DO NOT REBOOT YET).
5)Now pick up your phone and use VOL-DOWN to highlight RECOVERY then VOL-UP to start the recovery.
6)You should have the TWRP menu open now, go WIPE -> ADVANCED WIPE and check Dalvik/Data/Cache/System then swipe to wipe those 4 partitions.
7)Go back to main menu and select install, flash the CM12.1 zip then gapps zip and now you can reboot, first boot take a while so don't panic.
P.S.
I uploaded for you the latest untouched platform-tools folder (rev22) for windows if you wish to try this one, LINK, VirusTotal scan.

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!
SPENT LIKE 3 HOURS FAILING. AND FAILING. AND FAILING! NEARLY BLOODY BRICKED.
I'll stop capsing.
But this worked!!!!!!!!!!! (I think, currently rebooting after flashing)
THANK YOU!
I tried it again and this time it worked!
Beautiful! :good:
I'm what you'd call a super noob at this stuff and I've got my poor little SP in a crazy bootloop... I've tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING the internet has told me to try; wiping every cache out there, flashing custom roms, stock roms, you name it. It began when I just got CWM (don't ask me why it happened then, I have no clue why) and this is even BEFORE I put a ROM on! (I was all ready to put a ROM after getting CWM but bootloop happened).
Note: I have CWM recovery, I think I have lost my stock recovery, if I try some ROMS (ex. CM 12) they give me this error 7, once I found certain ROMS (PACMAN ROM, unofficial stock ROM) that would flash and install, they did but still left me with a bootloop, I have tried wiping so many caches it's not even funny, I've tried flashing the original firmware, nothing works... so I'm here for help.
I have looked at every google link and every method possible in trying to fix this thing! I really can't afford a new phone and I just love this one too much... please help!

Please go to the above link to get TWRP. Also, please keep in mind that TWRP is now the only still supported recovery around. CWM and PhilZ are both really outdated and no longer maintained due to the introduction of Cyanogen Recovery which is very minimal in features.
Once you get yourself the download, extract the files from the zip and get the twrp.img file. We will need this to flash into the boot partition of Xperia SP, granting you a direct boot into recovery once it is flashed. Please then copy the original zip to your sd card, as we will be flashing the original zip via TWRP later to give you access to TWRP in the future.
Using your preferred tool, flash the twrp.img file into the boot partition.
Connect your Xperia SP via fastboot. Make sure SP is shut down, hold volume up key and connect the SP with your computer.
If you're using a fastboot tool via command prompt, the command would be
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
If you're using flashtool, hit the lightning icon in the toolbar, select fastboot mode. Then select "Select kernel to flash". Make sure the file type is "img" else you won't able to find your TWRP img file. Navigate to mentioned img file and select it.
Afterwards, when flashing complete, you may insert sdcard and start the device. It will boot directly into TWRP as we flashed a recovery to the boot partition.
Clean wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system. You may leave internal storage.
Flash the ROM zip you acquired (make sure file integrity is checked beforehand!) then the TWRP zip earlier. Flashing the TWRP zip grants you a persisting recovery, as explained in the linked thread.
You may now reboot and enjoy
Hey guys so I'm panicking right now, so I just unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted my phone but now the phone won't boot it's just stuck at the boot icon with the two circles chasing each other, am I screwed and is my phone useless now ?
Don't worry, this is a common problem that occurs when you use an older version of SuperSU.
Flash SuperSU v2.79 to root. You won't even have to reflash the OS. Your phone should reboot once during the booting process.
Alternatively, you can reflash the stock OS and root with Magisk v11.1, which will also root your phone.

Okay so can you tell me how to remove 2.78 before I flash 2.79 ? thanks
You don't need to remove it. Flashing the newer one should replace the older one. I had the same problem when I first rooted following a slightly outdated guide. Flashing the newest version fixed it without a problem.

My phone isn't showing up on my pc as a removable storage and when I type adb devices my phone isn't showing up either
If you have a usb-C OTG adapter, the easiest way is to copy it onto a flash drive and flash from the drive in TWRP.
TWRP should also have a way of mounting your phone to your PC, though I've personally never managed to get it to work.
Also, I believe adb works while you're in recovery mode. You can use adb to push the superSU zip to your phone's internal storage. If you aren't sure how to use adb, the toolkit consolidates all of the useful commands together.

I managed to flash 2.79 but I don't think it worked, still stuck booting, will leave it for a few minutes though to see if anything changes, any suggestions if that wasn't the issue ?
Dirty flash whatever version of OOS you're on, wipe delvic/cache, then immediately flash SuperSU without rebooting recovery.

1) Download the full ROM of OOS from OnePlus (ignore their instructions, they are assuming that you have the stock recovery installed).
2) Transfer the full zip onto your phone.
3) Boot into TWRP
4) Find where you've put the full ROM on your internal storage and flash it
5) Once TWRP finishes flashing it, tap the "wipe dalvik/cache" button, DO NOT REBOOT (if you reboot at this point, your TWRP will be replaced with stock recovery)
6) Press back on TWRP, find your SuperSU.zip and flash that
7) Reboot
This process replaces any non-user files that may have been damaged. You won't lose any data or the apps that you have downloaded. This will replace the recovery with stock if you do not root immediately before rebooting.

DUDE, it worked thank you so much man really appreciate the help
I had Resurrection rom installed in my K3 note and needed to sell the phone. So performed a complete wipe of the internal storage and tried to install AICP rom later (TWRP), it shows flashed successfully, but whenever I am booting my phone, it always boots to recovery only. Downloaded the SP flash tool to go back to stock rom with stock firmware, but as soon as I plug my phone woth my laptop with the USB cable, (which is switched off at this moment) after clicking the download option in the SP Flash tool, it just again boots back to recovery and the stock firmware's download never happens because my phone has booted into recovery. So i guess no use of SP Flash tool too.
I am able to connect my phone to my laptop and can see my internal storage and i can transfer files too.
Any help,?
Current rom flashed via TWRP - AICP v4.2 and Gapps micro (arm 64, pico) (Still stuck in booloop to TWRP only )
I am having the same issue! I've selected to restore factory settings and bam, it boots only to TWRP, I've tried to flash it with new rr rom (09.2017) but it is without any improvement still TWRP.
I think I'll try to do things like I did when changing it from stock model.
My phone TWRP-looped many times. The solution is actually easy.
1. Reflash using SPFlashtool ONLY the stock recovery
2. boot into stock recovery
3. choose english > press reboot phone
4. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
5. reflash TWRP
cheers
or
1. Copy stock recovery.img into sdcard
2. In twrp, select Install and navigate to where you put stock recovery.img
3. Press install image. Then, Select recovery.img. Slide to install
4. boot into stock recovery
5. choose english > press reboot phone
6. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
7. reflash TWRP
DONE

I was on MUI9 Nougat 7.1.2. Unlocked my bootloader properly. Wanted to try out Google Camera. So I searched the forum, found TWRP 3.0.3 Installer. Installed the TWRP successfully. Then I thought of installing the new TWRP, so flashed TWRP 3.2.1 from the previous TWRP. When I booted back to Recovery, saw the Encryption Error. I never set any password. Got tensed. Searched the forums again for solution. Found that I have to format the data. So formatted the data, flashed LazyFlasher. Did not know what else to do, tried booting and got stuck in Bootloop. I only have Internal Storage. And have one OTG Pendrive in case it comes handy. Downloaded Dot OS 7.1.2 and tried to install it from the OTG by booting back to TWRP, failed, it said Corrupt ZIP, but the zip file was ok. So started the process again, rebooted back to TWRP, wiped everything and this time tried to flash an old MIUI9 Recovery ROM through it, it still gave the same error, Corrupt ZIP. So basically what I have left is that I can boot into TWRP and also Fastboot is working well. But dont know how to get past this Bootloop. Someone please help. Really urgent. So tensed. :crying:
do you flash miui rom in twrp or miflash? try to flash the miui rom with miflash and see if ur phone booted up or not.

Thanks bro. Never mind. Somehow managed to flash DotOS Nougat version through TWRP 3.0.3. Now bro please tell me one thing. I wont stay at DotOS, I dont like it, just flashed it to get through the bootloop. So now I have downloaded MIUI9 8.3.22 Developer Recovery ROM. Still having TWRP 3.0.3, BL Unlocked, ADB working, Fastboot working, USB Debugging everything taken care off. Just tell me steps to flash the Developer ROM now so that I dont go into bootloop again. Please. Thanks in advance.
ummm kinda easy actually, download the miflash software, open it, it should have the select, refresh, and flash menu. click select, and navigate to your rom file (u need to download the fastboot rom version! not the recovery version, should be easy to find in google. the format should be .tgz change it to rar, extract it, it will shows another rar extract it again, it should be folder now) that folder is your rom file. now enter fastboot mode, plug ur phone, and click refresh. it will shows some number and alphabet. if the number and alphabet appears, click flash! and wait! and ur phone will boot itself
sorry for **** english
1. Go to twrp...
2. Wipe (cache, data, dalvik/cache, system)
3. flash miui 9 dev 8.3.22
4. flash lazyflasher...
Reboot..
It will take more then 5 min to start (first boot usually take that much time)
Your phone boot normally....
If you are facing TWRP Recovery Issue then update TWRP
