hey guys I was running cm12 on my sp when I tried updating my recoveries...it installed fine after a reboot it got stuck on bootloop .I know how to recover via flashtool, but that would mean wiping clean my entire internal SD . I was thinking about flashing a custom recovery so that I can backup data . can anyone help on ways to get around this problem.
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

thanks for the replies guys...unfortunately my SP is LBL so I had to reluctantly go back to stock 4.3.
ww should petition for a new kernel from Sony or a way to unlock "Bootloader Rootable: No " devices..

Hello xda community,
First I have to say I'm french so sorry for my english
I really need your help. I've bought that phone TWO days ago and it already doesn't work. Lemme explain:
- I used DooMLoRD method to Root and install CWM (C5303 model with locked bootloader).
- I installed Xperia Pureness. Wiped System, Cache, Dalvik... It worked fine.
- But i after a few hours Home button didnt work eek so I decided to reflash the rom to reload the System UI. As I used to do with my HTC Sensation, i only wiped dalvik cache and cache for the 2nd flash (ERROR). I realised after have rebooted that i should have had wiped System too.
- It didnt boot since this 2nd flash.
- I've been trying to repair it for this ENTIRE day, nothing happens (pressed red button 5 secs, 10 secs, also tried to reflashed stock .254 ftf with FlashTool...), still can't access Home...
Can you devs find a solution? I really need to repair my phone, bought it 2 day ago :crying:
PS: it doesn't matter if i loose data on my phone
Reflash ROM and dont wipe cache and dalvik If that does not work you need to restrore the backup you made, or you can restore it with my easy restore guide i just made

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm always on bootloop, so can't even access CWM, is it still possible to flash a ROM, or access CWM? I've tried something like 10 times to reinstall stock ROM with FlashTool, still stuck at bootscreen.
I didnt think about making a backup

If you follow this guide i made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476938
You will recover your device with an official Sony tool
After that you can try it again. Since im not into flashing custom ROMS at the moment i cant help you futher with it ( just being honest )
It was long... BUT IT WORKED !!
Thanks a lot !!!!

Hi guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster!!
I've tried all day and night to find the answer, but am resorting to posting in these forums for help.
I upgraded my phone to A 0.290 from G 0.534.
I was successful in being able to root and unlock the bootloader.
Tried to put on CM11 using these instructions:wiped data/factory reset, wiped dalvik, format/system.
I put GAPPS and the CM11 (cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-honami.zip) onto the SD card.
I couldnt see them on the SD card so I pressed 'Reboot System Now'.
Now unfortunately the phone is stuck on the Sony page and is frozen.
I tried to see if I could go onto flashtool and I can - so I think there is still hope.
Can anyone provide any advise?
Cheers
If you can't access recovery to restore a backup then you'll need flashtools to flash a fw.

I just tried flashing the .290 FW again, but to no avail. Is there a reason why? Should I be trying other FW?

Solved. My apologies - should also look at stickies instead of just searches. Thx
i was using DoomKernel for xperia sp 4.3 with stock rom once i hav tried for encrypt my phone and successfully done after that
phone started rebooting continuously.... also there is huge problem i cant mount sd card, data neither flash any other rom through
cwm..
and one big problem is have hav formated system through fastboot cmd...........
soo wat to do in this situation ?????
i hav not use flash tool so far...
Use fastboot to flash a kernel with CWM and restore a nandroid backup if you have one or install another ROM.
If that doesn't work, start all over and use flashtool to flash an ftf.
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
Hi, Dear xda members
Last week i soft bricked my Sony Xperia Z c6603
After flashing modified kernel, i lost everything
I couldn't reach recovery even couldn't flash one with fastboot(as my device was not recognized)
I tried flashing offcial firmware through flashtool. It succeeded flashing
But After reboot i had bootloob and the ROM didn't boot
Finally I had a solution to get my phone fixed. Here's what i did:
*Reboot to FlashMode
*In flashtool I flashed TWRP Recovery in FlashMode
Now all custom ROMs are working but when I flash an official and other ROM's based on official, I'm having bootloops
Tried to wait. NO result
Could you help me with it?
P.S the modified kernel was made by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605/
When i softbricked my phone I tried to fix it according to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rick-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-t3215134

I have several problems too including not being able to run stock anymore. (endless black screen after experia logo). I tried flashtool (latest stock via xperifirm), Sony's flashtool. Companion didn't even want to flash (UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo), and left me wondering wether something is corrupt.
I've been running CM's for a while now and was wondering why NFC was not working. Not sure if it needs an updated firmware or what.
Other problem I've seen is that "fastboot flash recovery" always gives an error. "fastboot flash boot" works (this is how I install TWRP).
Can I try zeroing mmcblk0 or would that brick it? (does it really need to have a TA partition to accept boot connection? How does Sony init it anyways?)
I think I have a mmcblk0 backup from after unlocking (DRM lost though) but perhaps that will give me a somewhat clean situation again. Or perhaps I can compare it.
Edit: dd-ed my old mmc backup and now Xperia Companion didn't give an error anymore, did a factory reset, and after a long wait of the blue waving animation, I got it to work.
Even NFC firmware update started after rooting and deleting /data/ucf folder.
Now I want to go back to Nougat xD
