Ok so i got problems with using layers manager after applying a theme on my stock rom and later i thought that to go back i should restore my nandroid backup from my twrp so i tried to do that after wiping my cache system and data from twrp i connected my otg but for that moment it wasnt showing my backup but it was showing earlier before wiping so i thought i should reboot into recovery and try again and now its just not booting into recovery or the fastboot mode. Im so pissed its just the sony and xperia logo and after that is just a black screen without any input.
Guys please help me get out of this please its the only phone i have , please.
Thanks in advance and one more if you get me out of this,.
Your phone is soft bricked.. Try using flashtool to flash a new stock Rom on.. In general flashtool will recognize your phone when fastboot will not.. And don't use layers coz it doesn't work in stock Rom..

and can you help me with flashtool i have the latest version downloaded
Put a stock ftf in the C/user/your name/.flashtool/firmware folder. Open flashtool and connect your phone holding vol down as you connect to usb.. Your led should turn green meaning you are in flasmode. Once that's done, click on the flash button in flashtool, select the ftf for your phone and select flash.. Once done, install dual recovery by NUT if your ftf isn't rooted etc yet.. Reboot and your done
If you want to flash CM, your bootloader must be unlocked bro.. Also you must have access to your ext SD card as CM need to go to that to flash onto your phone through recovery using fastboot..

Thanks my phone is booted after using flashtool but i wanted to know what is better stock or cm ?
That's always a matter of taste and an unlocked bootloader.. I personally couldn't care less about the few things that stop working ie bravia engine etc once bootloader is open.. My bootloader has been open from the day I got the phone leaving me free to flash anything a vailable.. But there are others who think stock is ok.. If your bootloader is open, you have the joy of testing all the marshmallow Roms as they are pretty stable.. If you like layers check out tesla or rro.. But please don't try layers on stock Rom again..

The title says it all.
I went ahead and tried to install Paranoid android RC2, I flash it then subsequently the GApps using TWRP. Now, the device is stuck forever in the boot animation and neither TWRP or CWM (installed with DualZRecovery) will work.
Is there any way by which I can somehow revert what has happened here? This has never happened to me before.
Needless to say if I can avoid having a $400 paperweight, I have sworn to never risk custom roms on my main phone again.
Just flash some kernel with recovery and restore your backup. If you don't have backup, download some of stock or custom roms and flash via Flashtool or recovery......or just use search function

As I said, the main problem is that for some ungodly reason CWM is not working despite the fact that it is what i used to flash PA into the phone in the first place. I have never had a case where CWM itself failed. I need to be in Fastboot mode for flashtool right?
Well the phone wont even go into recovery so im not sure how to get it into fastboot.
1. Download some of newest stock ftf and put it to firmware folder in Flashtool
2. Start Flashtool, press flash btn and pick stock rom
3. Press vol- and connect usb simultaneously and wait about 3 min.
That's it.
Your phone is brand new stock :good:

I think it was because I forgot to wipe the dalvik cache after installation of the ROM - although why CWM itself stopped working I have no clue.
How did u unlock your bootloader? Flashing aosp base rom require u to unlocked your bootloader first bcos of the custom kernel..if u unlocked your bootloader, did u fastboot flash boot.img?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
can someone please help me, its an emergency. i have stock 4.3 with unlocked bootloader.
i wanted to root it so i used flashtool to flash boot.img like it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573921
but when i flashed it i flashed it with the wrong seting, i chose select kernel to flash by accident then used that to flash the boot.img also i didnt put the superSU zip on my sd card before hand.
i then re flashed the boot.img with the "select system to flash" option and it installed the recovery fine.
so now i can boot into recovery but the phone will not come on as normal. i am just stuck at the sony screen.
i then went to try an re flash original stock ftf, but that is not being recognised by flashtool for some reason.
please help me
thank you

Power down the device for at least 10 minutes.
Get back in to recovery and tick "wipe cache partition" option and select it.
Go to the recovery main menu and reboot the device “reboot system now” option.
Try this..
I did that too. I also wiped dalvik and tried to reboot the phone. It was just staying on the sony logo. How long does the sony logo stay there after s boot like that? Also I dont understand why flashtool is not recognising the stock ftf files?

I guess you've hard bricked your device and it's possible that you can't recover it...... You should've read BEFORE you flashed that rom, it clearly states that it is for UNLOCKED bootloader ONLY!!!
Anyways, is it possible to get into the recovery? Or doesn't even the sony logo show up?
If you can't get into recovery, try to flash a stock kernel via flashtool, but idk though if that's possible at your phone anymore
Yep, i know it was stupid.
Im not possible to get into the recovery.
The Sony Logo doesnt show up, but when i try to turn it on, it vibrates,like it normal does.
Ive already written that when i try to flash a kernal it says debugging is off.
(See the Flashtool log)

No you tried to flash the stock ftf file, I meant that you should try to flash the stock kernel. Simply extract it from the file, or search for it here on xda, I'm pretty sure it is somewhere
Which file?
And how do i flash stock kernal, please explain im really new in android.
Please give me some more advice
Try searching development forums, there are some ftf files that can be downloaded for you to try. Do not cross flash by the way, just a reminder, be sure its for your model.

Assuming that you are running windows.
1. Download android sdk to get fastboot and adb
2. Put your phone into the fastboot mode and install drivers. Your notification diod should be blue when connected to the PC.
3. Download stockkernel.zip from this post and extract it in the same folder as fastboot.exe is located.
4. Open command line in that folder.
5. Type: fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.sin.
6. Flash the ftf
This should fix it
This is my first time using XDA. I can't post this in development threads, so I'm putting it here.
I am rooted, bootloaded locked, and have been using Existenz. When I updated to Existenz 4.0, (cleared cache and dalvic cache) I got a bootloop. It says SONY then that fades away. If I charge it, the bottom light glows red. If I connect to computer in flashmode (volume down) the bottom glows green. I have TWRP and CWM but don't know how to boot into them, as the thing my xperia sp normally does (bottom cycles through three colors, during which you hit a button to boot into recovery) isn't happening. I need urgent help. Thanks in advance

Do not flash this kernel if you are bootloader locked as you said you were.
Just download a full 205 FTF and start from scratch with towelroot and recovery from dev section. Then reflash existenz.
Thanks

Thanks, do I flash the .205 ftf through flashtool? Do I clear data or cache or dalvic or what? Sorry but I need the specifics . I also thought towelroot only worked for kitkat, are you sure it works for xperia sp .205?
Yes flash through flashtool, just make sure the TA partition isnt selected and then flash using default settings.
Yes towelroot works, ive used it loads of times myself.

Before doing anything ... Remove your device's back cover and push the small button for 5 seconds...
Your device will vibrate 3 times.. After that wait 10 seconds and switch on your device...
Try installing a new recovery... Try the doomlord's advanced system recivery or doomkernel..
After installing the recovery try to flash the zip again..
If nothing happens ... Try a stock rom...
All the best !!! Hit thanks if it helped ...

Follow these steps... firstly copy the superuser zip file into your external SD card.. Be sure that your device is atleast 60-70% charged..
1. Flash a stock ROM via flashtool in flash mode.
2. when flashing is done... flash the recovery u want from flashtool in fastboot mode.
3. switch ON the device and enter into the recovery ... (CWM recovery)
4. install the zip ... wipe cache and dalvik cache.. and reboot..
try this recovery..
