So I have a problem here, I was rooting my phone with the KingoRoot, and my phone restarted and stuck on the boot screen.
I couldn't turn it off pressing and holding the main button so I waited to the battery run out.
Then I tried to go to the recovery mode, but it didn't work, I can't get to the recovery mode.
When I plug the mobile in my computers, it makes a sound but it doesn't recognize (I've already installed the drivers), as well the adb doesn't recognize it.
How can I recover it?
Thanks!
PS: The version is: C5303

I am assuming that you are on stock ROM and your bootloader is not unlocked. Please reply otherwise if my assumptions are false.
To fix this, download and install Xperia Companion. After launching, find an option to repair the phone. Remember to select Xperia SP. Note that this will wipe everything.
If you want to root, use Towelroot instead of Kingoroot. Towelroot is 100% working method for the latest stock ROM of Xperia SP. You can look for the methods by going here. Cheers!

Hi!
I just rooted my brand new LG optimus 4x HD, and when I was going to install cyanogenmod on it, the phone stopped working. I pressed to restart in recovery and installing the rom, but when it was about to restart, it only says something like: unrecoverable boot loader, and something with kernel. I don't know what this means, but I hope there is a way to fix this, because the phone is brand new, and now I can't even start it.
Some suggestions?

Just flash original stock KDZ file with kdz flasher.
If you want to install CM, you do not need a rooted phone, but an unlocked bootloader.
Check the respective threads for details on how to unlock the phone and then flash CM.

ok, i'll try that in a couple of hours when I get home, Thanks everyone! I'll be back if there is another problem
in the lg pc suite that comes with the phone there is an option in "Device" for "emergency firmware recovery" this should be a relatively easy way to restore your phone if it allows you to do it without booting up otherwise use the method posted earlier. to get into the correct mode on the phone turn phone off, then whilst holding vol- plug in the usb (don't press power button) this should enter software upgrade mode.
after this you will lose root and if you unlocked your bootloader will relock it.
i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 all in one tool to root and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40918727&postcount=108 to unlock bootloader, you can use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.
I hope this helps

I tried to root via the all-in-one toolbox, but I don't get how I am supposed to do... And after trying to do some things and factory resets, I'm unable to start my phone again. This time i'm stuck on bootscreen. And I can't seem to get to the S/W Upgrade screen again, i don't know why...
Is there something i can do with ADB sideload?

to get into S/W upgrade mode, remove battery, insert battery, hold the vol-, and plug in a usb attached to a computer (keep holding vol-).
hope this helps. also try a different pc usb port or a different cable (just to eliminate any variables)

Thank you so much for the video, it worked and now my phone is rooted and alive, now I just have to figure out how to flash a custom rom into it and the CMW recovery...
Good to see you ok. CWM needs unlocked bootloader not just root.

I don't know why didn't you understand my words but glad that you are running well now. For CWM or a custom rom, you need unlocked the bootloader not root.
I've managed to fix it now, I don't know how, but it worked thanks everyone for the help, running cm10.1 now
Is there anyway i can dowbload lg+ tag and quick memo? It isnt included in the rom :/
No, but I did a factory reset and flashed the rom, and then the stock apps werent included

Hi astr_x,
Do you have any example links for the respective threads you mention? I have tried adb and fastboot. I hold Volume down + plug into my computer and I get the Unrecoverable bootloader error that was mentioned above. In fact, I get this error even when I plug my phone to a normal plug (and not PC). Anyway, I connect my phone to my laptop (I always get the error mentioned) and when I type the relative adb+fastboot command in cmd (after installing all the relative drivers), I get "Error: Unknown device".
Any thoughts?
Hello Friends, I have made a mistake.
I have rooted and flashed my droid 2 and droid 4 phones perhaps 100 times but when it came to my XZ it was not as happy sailing.
I started in a tutorial from unlocker on the method of rooting and installing recovery in a XZ without unlocking the bootloader.
theunlockr.com/2013/07/23/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-z-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-video/
but because I could not find my firmware specified with doomLord I chose kingo for my root, rebooted and everything was happy. I followed the rest of the tutorial to a 't' from the DRM keys to the recovery. Rebooted and everything was good.
This is where I should of spent time unlocking my bootloader
I downloaded pacrom and installed it through TWRP after clearing cash, system, and dalvik I think.
I also installed Gapps
When I tried to reboot it was all I could get was a flashing red light where the text indicator would normally be. My screen does not alter, if I hold down power it will vibrate every 4seconds, if I hold power up and power it will vibrate three times but nothing happens after.
I am able to get into fastboot mode, and the mode that works with emma(i am drawing a blank right now) using the volume rocker and plugging the usb in while holding them. Both apps (emma, and flashtool) recognize there modes.
Simply plugging the phone in will cause it to be seen by the computer but it will just connect and disconnect every minute or so.
In flashboot if I try to Hotboot it will give me a message about the command not being aloud remote.
I feel like if I can get all this to recognize there should be a way to get it back. Does anyone have an idea as to a way to unlock the bootloader or return it to stock using the limited function I have?
Get a stock rom from the general section and use Flashtool (not emma) to flash it to your phone. That is the solution to 90% of the problems people come here to ask about.

Makes sense to me, on my way now. I remember an error happening during flashing something but for the life of me cant remember, we will see what happens.

ANDROID EXPERT NEEDED TO REPAIR BRICKED PHONE
Anyone in my area know how to fix a soft bricked Android phone? I have a Sony Xperia Z3 compact that is not responsive and I've tried everything and scoured the internet, mostly XDA, on how to get it back. I was trying to flash the Sony Concept Marshmallow ROM with the Boot and OTA, per the instructions in the thread. I wiped my device, flashed ROM, Boot, and OTA. Then I rebooted my device and then nothing, but a black screen and no response from the phone. It does not boot up or turn on. The screen does not flicker or anything. I can hold volume down and power and it will vibrate, but still nothing on the device. I can hold volume up and plug in the device and it will show me the blue led that it is connected to fast boot, but I cannot seem to do anything with it at that point. My computer does recognize it, but I can't figure out what to do from there with Flashtool or any other software.
If you are available where we can meet up that would be fantastic. I'm in the Chicago suburbs.

I think you phone isn't really bricked Try this, maybe it will help:
1. Download newest flashtool
2. Download proper .ftf file from the general section
3. Launch flashtool, plug your phone while holding vol down and wait until the drivers install. Unplug the phone after the drivers install.
4. Click a small thunder-shaped button in flashtool
5. Navigate to a folder with your .ftf file
6. You will see a menu where you can select what to flash and what not to flash. You might want to have everything from the top right window selected (data, cache, apps log will be wiped) and everything from the window below NOT selected (everything will be flashed). Click flash and wait for the files to be prepared.
7. You will see a window with the instructions how the phone should be plugged to a computer. Again, plug the phone while holding vol down, the LED will flash green.
8. Wait for the files to be flashed. If you get any error, try the flashing again after restarting flashtool. If you still get errors, reboot the computer and try again.
I hope this will work and instructions are not messed up but clear to you, I wrote them quickly.

Thank you and these instructions are clear. I have tried all this, but the issue is the Phone isn't recognized properly.
And my Flash tool isn't recognizing .ftf files.
Not sure if this will help ... but in your situation guess one is willing to try anything
Try using Flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6 - this version doesnt require USB Debugging to be turned on - which may be the reason the phone isnt recognized properly???
Looks like your boot.img have gone
Now download stock rom and flash only the boot.img,it may work
Good luck
I had something of a similar issue very recently where flashtool wouldn't do it after i had by stupid mistake wiped EVERYTHING.. I think i had lost boot.img. On startup i would get the very first Sony Xperia screen and then nothing else.
After kicking around a few threads for information i downloaded an older version of flashtool, 0.9.18.5, flashed a complete stock rom with that and all was well.

Hmmm.......curious and you have my sympathy.
Did you have any joy at all with an older version of flashtool? From what i have read around the place if you are getting ANY response from the phone at all in terms of the LED or vibration when power and vol up or down pressed then all is NOT lost. Seems it may be a matter of finding the right combinations of tools and ftf files .
When i was mucking around trying to resurrect mine i did have to install drivers (from the directory in flashtool) more than once as i tried different combinations. Was using my Win7 machine at work rather than my Win10 home PC.
good luck. Will be interested to see the outcome of this as any fix is good to know about.

I got frustrated and moved onto the Nexus 5X and drawered the Z3C. If I ever get around to it I'll definitely post about it here.
Do you have windows 7?. Windows 10 have problems with flashtools and driver because secureboot.
Hi everyone
So just to let you guys know i have also searched the internet for what i am about to ask you.Including this site.I have had many good pages on this website to try and help with my problem.But sadly with no luck,my issue was different.so that when i decided to finally create an account to get some help and hopefully help others too!(which i doubt).So now to my problem.I have a sony xperia Z1 and had rooted it using the king root app and then used the command to replace with super user.All was well and good until i tried to do duel recovery.i feel thats where i mustve messsed up.I am sure my boot loader is locked but the file i used was a version that worked with a locked bootloader.so i installed it via connecting my phone to the usb and use some software to install.Sorry i thing i must have forgot what i used.Hopefully that is not important.all went well and when my phone restarted it went staright to twrp.I decied to wipe cache and data inc internal and dalvic cache.But when i restared all i got was the sony logo frozed.Nothing would happen.i would try entering recovery mode or flashing mode or what ever you call it by pressing vol up and power.All this does it makes my phone vibarate 3 times but thats not the prob;em as normally i would presume the phone is off but no its not as when i put it on charge it comes on with the logo and all.but when i connect to my pc to try and reflash nothing.i have tried using xperia flash tool but when i follow the instructions nothing happens.and to be fair i dont even know wif i followed them righ as for all i know my phone could be off.i attempted pc companion to try and sort it out but it dosnt give me an option to reflash.only upgrade and when i do press that it says i must remove my battery and sim but i cant.i am worried if i leave it on charge it will turn really hot cuz thats what i done for like an hour and it was extremly hot.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just Flash stock Lollipop with .Ftf format by flashtool (flashmode), you can find everything on XDA.
Hello!
I have rooted my XP a long time ago with kingroot. switched to supersu after. No unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to change my font to a different one, which worked in the past. But now i am stuck in bootloop! (
I cannot use sony pc companion as the phone reboots all the time!
please help me as this is the only phone that i have!
I can hear the pc detecting the device but soon after the device reboots and it disconnects.
oh god, how many times I've heard this! please use the search button....!!!
anyway, last time I say this, when using flash tool, and you press the flash button, and it says waiting for phone, at the time (you have less than 1 sek actually, you have to try a couple of times to get it right) the phone is rebooting, right after the screen brightens up, hit the volume DOWN, led goes green, plug the usb in the pc (actually do this where you connect the micro usb first and the usb is really close to be plugged in but not in just yet, and when the time is right you push it all.)
I don't know if my explanation is understandable by you, if not check in youtube, there are a plenty of videos on how to put your xperia z in flash mode.
good luck
Thanks for your reply. I did manage to finally turn off the device and after i could repair it with pc companion. I have no recovery installed as i haven't unlocked my bootloader. So i couldn't use flasher as you said.
Now im on stock 5.1.1 rooted with kingroot + supersu script.

Anyway, good for you, you solved it by your own.
Flashtool actually (not the one provided by sony) can solve any problem, as long its not hardware related.
