thanks for your reply,if i do this all my content will be deleted right?including photos,and i dont want them to be deleted because i didnt back up them,so is there any other way?
or is there anyway that i can rescue my files before i wipe everything?
Probably by flashing a kernel with recovery e.g olokos' in the development section, go recovery, then reflash your cm rom, retrieve your files.
And remember to backup next time ?

Man, before you install and try flash ROMs make sure you understand absolutely everything, this is what happens
You probably need to disable driver signature enforcement to install them, google "windows 10 disable driver signature enforcement" or whatever.

Hi!
I just got a Xperia Z from a friend who try to install CM 10.1.
Apparently the bootloader is unlocked, CWM installed. And after the installation of CM, the device does not boot. Sony logo appears after a press on the start button and it turns down instantly.
What did I already try:
- Flash of two official roms with flashtool. The process stops after the progression bar is one fourth filled but nothing tells that the processus failed. But same issue always here, does not boot.
- Re-locked the bootloader with BLU (flashtool) to restore the phone with using Sony updater service : I have an error : "No loader found on this device".
Need your help please
Have you made a factory reset and cache delete before flashing CM? I make this mistake often but with flashtool I can always install back the stock rom.

I'm pretty sure he did a wipe data and wipe cache before the installation.
Flashtool does not repair my phone after a flash of the stock rom, do not know why..
What can I do ?
Do some research about how fastboot works to flash the official XZ kernel through fastboot

Maybe try to flash the CM kernel and go into recovery and flash a other Rom.. I'm not sure if it works but haven't better idea.
Hi to you all!
I want to apologize for my English and for any mistake, considering that this is my 1st post here on xda!
In the past I've flashed some official roms, using flashtool, I've unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone several times, but this is all the experience I'd had before I ruined my phone.
What I tried was to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175768
I had already cwm on my phone so I did copy ACID zip file on my hone sd card and then I entered cwm and flashed that zip. It was all ok, then the phone restarted and after displaying "sony" and "xperia", it displayed those curb lines moving (I hope you get it), then restarted and doing the same steps over and over.
What I tried was to enter cwm again and wipe cache/data, wipe cache by dalvik and wipe partitions...of course with no result at all.
I tried to repair the phone using PC Companion and SUS but both say I can't because my phone hasn't original android.
Then I thought about installing CM 11, but it wasn't possible because the phone doesn't start so I could copy boot.img into sd card.
My last idea is to flash official 4.3 from sony with flashtool.
My question is: does anybody know what I could do if flashing official 4.3 fails too?
Also, if someone could help me what to do step by step to install cm11 I'll be very grateful. I've downloaded cm11.zip but all tutorials say that I have to copy boot.img on sd card which I can't. Is there any other method?
then restarted and doing the same steps over and over.

So you mean you get in a bootloop.
Download 4.3 here on XDA(no matter which region) and read this about flashtool in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153167
With CM I do not have experince.

Thanks for response. I'd already done this and I had luck.
The problem is that after that I tried to flash pure x audio and I got the same error. This time I had a backup and it was easy to return to stock firmware, but I can't understand why I get the boot loop every time I try to flash a zip with cwm

This is called a bootloop. All you need to do is press VOL UP + POWER, then connect your phone to your computer in flashmode (connect USB while holding VOL DOWN button) and flash .534 using Flashtool
Yep, just Hold Volume Down, connect to PC and flash a Stock FTF.

No just go into recovery, flash the monxdified rom zip and then clear cache and dalvik. I have done the same thing and it works perfectly fine. You can flash any 4.3 rom in this way, as you are on the same firmware.

Monxdified, iHackers and all stock based roms don't need a custom kernel (that's why you don't need to be bootloader unlocked to use them)
Just go into your recovery flash the zip. After the zip is flashed you will get an option to clear dalvik and cache.
It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a custom rom, as it might misbehave. You can however try it without factory reset and then if you see that it doesn't work properly just do a factory reset and flash the rom zip again.
Hi,
I had Prime HD 9 on my X8 with stock kernel. I took a backup from my device with CWM 4 and then I had installed the last version of Xperia Soul rom by FoRRoX by a zip file. finally I didn't like it and decided to restore my previous rom, but I had forget to format Data and Cache before restoring. So, after that my phone sucks at startup Sony Ericsson logo and I cannot do anything with that and my device doesn't charge.
I don't know what is the reason and that isn't my first time that I change my rom and I don't know what I can do? I have tried to flash my phone with Androxyde Flash Tool, but I couldn't find a .ftf firmware. Can you help me about this problem ??

If you still have recovery , boot into recovery, mount usb and copy ROM from your PC.
Flash ROM and restart...
If you don't have recovery, use flashtool to flash ftf. (534) root it and then upgrade to 761 (latest firmware)
BTW, your device isn't bricked, there's missing system, that's all...
And yeah...that wasn't stupid at all...this things happens and, if you ask me- TWRP team should change that wipe options...
It's not well made...
First option should be only cache wipe and advanced should have format data and system option...

I tried booting to recovery but it wont. Its stuck in the sony logo. I guess ill go with option 2(flashing ftf)
is it ok if I flash the ftf then NOT root it?
I found a guide how to flash an ftf file in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319

You are welcome mate
Yeap...
One thing is very important - use latest flashtool..and everything will be OK.
You'll be surprised how easy that is...
Flash firmware 534 (JB)
Turn device off, open flashtool and prepare 534 firmware, start flashing and connect device (holding vol down) connect device when flashtool ask for it, don't do that right away...
root it with binary method (just Google" binary root method xda") first link is what you need.
Install NUT recovery.
Restart to recovery, flash NUT 757, TURN DEVICE OFF!!!
And flash stripped ftf (that's kernel)
It's very important to turn device off, don't restart. (to flash stripped ftf)
I always practice to hit flashtool "start" button and wait for flashtool to ask for device, that's is the best way to be 100% sure your device won't leave flashmod

Man, I asked you do you still have recovery and you said no?!?
Use recovery to flash stock based ROMs like NUT or iHackers, flashtool or pc companion to flash stock unrooted firmware.
It won'tbe a problem if you have twrp (recovery), it'll wipe everything...
