First of all: read the forum rules. After 1400 posts you should know that the GENERAL section is not the right place to ask questions like this.
Second: Wich file system are you using? If it's any other but ext4 you should format the storage using twrp.
Did you flash with Androxyde's flashtool, or just with Emma?

Hey ! i too experienced the same issue earlier today.. Only the latest build isnt working when flashed ..I flashed the kitkat build via flashtool and it worked.. is there any solution.. ? ive been trying since morning.. And another thing is that recovery also cant be flashed . So im literally stuck at this phase. :crying:

just flash a stock rom from flashtool i always encounter that when i corrupt flashing thru recovery.. like i fully wipe and forgot to put rom in internal lol

Flashed with both Emma and flashetool
Even tried custom lp rom via twrp but the same situation

Have you fixed your issue? I have the same case. I flashed it to stock ROM but the black screen is still occurring after xperia logo.

1. make sure your partition is ext4
2. download proper official Kitkat 4.4.4 firmware (.tft), flash it with Androxyde's flashtool (make sure the .ftf is not corrupted, driver is installed, good usb cable and 75% of battery or above).
3. if you wanna check the device is in good shape, try to boot up (in my case, I'll flash LP 5.1.1 right after flashing KK firmware is done).
4. if the device is boot up correctly, turn off your device and begin to flash LP 5.1.1 firmware
NOTE: somewhere on this forum say about the right version of flashtool to flash the firmware to our device, older version of flashtool. But I'm using version 0.9.22.3 and everything is fine. However, I can see that the flashtool is not using the newest engine while flashing my device (C6603) but using the older engine instead.

Hi,
I have already been in such a situation.
1) Try to flash (with flashtool) official 4.2 Android firmware, boot, then flash latest one (5.1.1)
2) Try to flash official firmware (4.2) with xflasher (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74122327&postcount=212, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74122295&postcount=2)
Good luck!

still having same issue with my z3, flashing with emma and tft but stuck on sony logo

I also met this problem yesterday.
I use the latest Flashtool and flash the latest firmware but it said The bundle does not match the connected device.
Then I use a older version like 0.9.18 to flash the latest firmware. The problem you said occurred. It stuck in black screen after Sony logo.
Here is how I fix it:
1. Use an older version of Flashtool to flash an older firmware such as 4.4.4_10.5.1.A.0.283 like me.
2. After flashing the old firmware it should be normally powered on. Then power off and enter the flash mode again. And flash the latest firmware, problem fixed.
Hope that my experience can offer a bit help for you.

[Q] Help! Xperia Z CyanogenMod not letting me inside

Hello everybody!
I used to have a working stock firmware 2.67 Android 4.2.2, but I decided to unlock my bootloader.
I did the operation twice and then I encountered bootloop issue.
I downloaded a stock firmware and flashed it using Androxyde Flashtool.
Oh god! The firmware FTF file was corrupted.
I AM sure that it was corrupted.
Next up, I booted my device but it won't let me inside: Just the SONY screen and a black screen and afterwards and it goes off.
Then I flashed CWM Recovery as a boot.img file. After that I entered (luckily!) the CWM recovery, Cleaned Cache and performed Hard reset and installed the CyanogenMod 10.2 Yuga Nightly (or sth like that) as a zip. It said that it had been successful.
Despite that, when I rebooted device through CWM, I got the CyanogenMod boot screen( a blue orbit moving around) and it shows that forever!
What is wrong with my smartphone?
How can I fix this thing without a fresh installation of the stock firmware?
And if you flash cm again without wipe data?
Do you tryed to flash only an other kernel?
Tipp: always do Backups before flashing new CFWs.

[SOLVED] [Q] Z1 custom ROM

Hi there,
I've got a problem with my Z1. I am with 14.4.0.157 stock ROM, and locked BL.
I rooted it (working), then added Dual Recovery (working).
Then I tried to install DStriker ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-1-0-t2928666).
With TWRP, at the end of Aroma installer, I unticked 'reboot now' then bim, black screen, nothing possible to do, nothing worked : stucked at black screen. I pushed hard power off button, then at reboot : stuck at Sony logo.
I searched this forum and found how to make it back : I went to flashtool then reflashed stock, all was working again.
I made all the root and recovery operations. All was working. Then I tried with CWM Recovery. After install/reboot (as asked in the installation instructions) : stuck at Sony logo.
So I made (once again) all modifications to flash stock/root/recovery. So I tried another custom ROM : iHAckers one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716182). Aroma working well, install OK then reboot : STUCK again at Sony Logo !
In conclusion : only stock ROMs seem to work on my phone (or the ones flashed with Flashtool), I can root and install Recovery, install ROMs from recovery too, but impossible to boot on these new ROMs.
Searching for a solution to install a new custom ROM.
Any help ?
I guess I found something :
- I changed the Dual recoveyr script with the last one (I thought I already had) : I used the last one from http://nut.xperia-files.com/
- I loaded and rooted before with 14.4.A.0.108 stock version.
I don't know which one solved the problem. I guess it is the recovery script, but I will do more tests, I believe it can help someone...
I will keep you up-to-date.
i've had the same problem. The solution i found is that i should start the operation from stock 14.1.G.1.534. whenever i used another stock version, phone got stuck at sony logo.

I think Xperia Z1 is against newer stock firmwares when we want to update.
So till I installed iHackers with the method I explained above (other stock firmware), I've never met the problem again.
I then flashed to Dstriker and no problem. I think there was something wrong when coming from stock/rooted/dual recovery/locked BL 14.4.A.0.157...
Best regards and happy new year all.

Xperia Z not booting anymore

Hi People,
I'm new here and I do have a problem over, as the title says, my Xperia Z (C6603) won't boot up anymore.
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, I also rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 12 afterwards using TWRP, this was working perfect and stable.
Today I found out my phone wasn't rooted at all after I installed Cyanogenmod 12. So I wanted to start over again using this way (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873).
So what I've basically done, I installed Xperiaz_10.5.A.0.230_kernel_only.ftf over the CM12 mod, after this my phone doesn't want to boot anymore, getting stuck at the the 'Sony' logo.
Tried to do TWRP -> Factory reset, but it didn't work.
Should I install a full .zip stock rom again instead of the FTF file to restore my old rom?
Kind regards,
xChillz
My root guide and the files provided there are for rooting the 2 stock roms in the thread title only.
You cannot flash a stock kernel onto a custom rom. This is why your device isn't booting.
You can get your device booting in a couple of ways:
1. Extract the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod rom zip and flash it using fastboot. This should allow you to boot into your CM12 rom again.
2. Flash a stock FTF. This will bring your phone back to complete stock. How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format

Thanks for the quick reply!
Could you tell me where I can get a 10.5.A.0.230 stock FTF or can I just Google it?
xChillz.
Thanks bro,
Installed the 10.5.A.0.230 stock FTF, then I installed CM12 and it works!

Problem Flashing Offcial Firmware

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

Cannot use new roms

Hi everyone,
I rooted and flashed an anroid 9. pie but this is too slow to use. what should I do? turning back to stock rom or an old rom like kitkat 4.4.4 ?
I also tried to flash some stock project from here but it didnt work. so pls help!
my device:
sony xperia z3 compact d5803
built no (before root)
23.5.A.1.291
I haven't had a Z3c a while now but try MarilliaDeOliviera's Experience ROM.
It's a Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM but it is fantastic for everyday use.
Because the screen touch response is fantastic and feels very snappy and smoother compared to other ROMs. None of that jittery or slow heavy scrolling nonsense.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/xz3c-x-p-e-r-e-n-c-e-r-o-m-t3513378
Flash latest stock ftf first then do this.

the problem is stock rom is not working. its on boot animation loop.
what to do then?
Don't know why it's doing that but we don't need to boot stock ROM up in order to flash a custom ROM .
Just enter fastboot mode and flash the latest TWRP for z3c via ADB command.
Then boot in TWRP and connect USB to PC and copy the ROM that you downloaded to your phone and flash it.

I think those old ROMs need a 4.4.4 kitkat base. So there are some instructions for downgrading. I will try then flash stock one
but tools are too complicated for me
You're using Flashtool to flash to stock, or what?

later that, I used a flashtool called "emma" and it flashed to stock marshmellow and made it unrooted!
also my recoveries twrp and cwm gone. I did not mind because it was faster but this time it turned out the old problem again. When i locked the phone, it shows black screen illuminated! what a sick problem it is. I want to flash a old custom rom like kitkat 4.4.4 or whatever stable and faster. but I cant install twrp. how to do?
what to do now?
I can't help you with custom ROMS (not my thing), but if you want to get back to stock 4.4.4:
Get one of the stock ROMs from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706 (2nd post)
Then use this Flashtool. It's unofficial, but it is the best Xperia flasher out there:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
It's pretty simple to use. The first link has instructions on how to flash using Flashtool. This will remove root/Superuser and remove custom recovery, so you can start fresh.
I used LOS 14 and it was super fast on z3c. The LOS 16 is a bit slower but it is not a problem in normal use..
