Hi, I rooted my phone to get xposed working. Now, to get away from unlocking bootlader, I used kingroot to root and got it done. I got the xposed framework zip and flashed it with flashfire.(no recovery). Now my phone is in a bootloop and wont start. Since, it wont boot I cannot connect it to flashtool or no recovery to boot into.
Kindly help me with this if someone has faced similar issues.
You maybe flashed the wrong xposed framework version and you need TWRP recovery to flash it(Recommended).You don't need to turn on your phone to flash stock rom via flashtool.If you already have the stock rom and flashtool then start the flash in flashtool and press and hold the volume down key and connect your phone using usb.This will start the flashing process.After you root your phone using Kingroot,change it to Supersu.kingroot can't give you complete root access.Download and install dualrecovery instead flashfire.

Hello all,
I have the latest 4.2.2 firmware which was rooted using doomlords rooting kit. I installed a TWRP recovery and backed up my phone. After that I flashed a softkey mod which is now causing my phone to go into a boot loop. I get the sony and xperia logo followed by the waves then it restarts again.
Noob question how do I go into twrp recovery in order to restore my backup?
Edit: Ignore this couldn't get the phone to go into recovery had to flash ftf via flash tool
I flashed a generic TFT and unlocked the bootloader with Flashtools and rooted the phone with EasyRoot. But I can't figure out how to boot into recovery. Neither by pressing the volume buttons nor by trying to boot into recovery from Quick Boot, ROM Installer or ROM Manager. It just keeps booting normally.
If it's useful:
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-g8330588
Build no. 14.2.A.1.136
Also, running linux on my laptop.
Have you installed Nuts Dual Recovery? Because EasyRoot dosn't install it...

I have this ROOTED XSP .205 with LOCKED bootloader and I was trying to install CWM recovery by following a procedure that was only for Locked Bootloader Xperia Sp but I couldn't install it.
First in the cmd it was giving
'can't find specific path'
Then I found out that I needed to extract that zip file to C: that I did and after that im getting,
'You've selected Xperia SP, let's go"
And it is stuck on that, getting nowhere.
Im a newbie so not have much idea if someone can help that'd be a life saviour, please.

Try flashing recovery .img file with Rashr
You can't install CWM Recovery without a CWM Rom , and I think you can't install locked bootloader on unlocked bootloader, I recommend use Flash Tools and Unlock your bootloader. And Flash a Kernel with TWRP Recovery and Wipe and Flash a CWM Rom (huashan ROM for Xperia SP) after it you get CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery for extra I recommend use Helium Kernel to do it

hello can you help me with somehting i am on android 4.3 in xperia sp yesterday i have deleted my prima files by mistake can you upload them for me from your phoone
I found installing XZDualRecovery very easy. You get TWRP, CWM and PhilZ.
-install supersu from play store
-activate usb debug in developer options
-unzip xzdualrecovery file
-run install program from the unzipped folder
-follow steps on the screen, you will have to grant supersu access on your phone at some point.
Hello everybody,
I rooted my Xperia Z1 about 8 months ago in order to install the 5.1.1 update which didn't roll out for my device probably because it was a global version (5.0.1 was the last OTA). I did a clean install with no problems, flashed DualRecovery, SuperSu, and BusyBox was working just fine. Everything was working perfectly.
About 3 months ago, I tried updating BusyBox, only to tell that the update failed (couldn't install in the path it used to be try changing the path), I read and read, and found that the solution was to delete a certain file from root that prevented me from modifying certain folders and their content(even with root access), and then do a clean install in a different path than the former one. However, I couldn't gain root access to my files, no root explorer worked! It bugged me, but I was busy at that time, so I couldn't resolve it.
Few weeks later I tried rebooting into recovery, but no method worked, no apps, no key combination, no adb, nothing at all worked! After 2 hard days I managed to install TWRP recovery using NUTS recovery project. I rebooted several times, and it was still working. I then installed BusyBox with no problems, and everything was back to perfect. Later I decided to install CM 12.1 because I always used on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I always loved it. So using my now working recovery, I backed everything up on a USB and then flashed CM 12.1 WITHOUT its recovery along with a GAPPS package.
CM was installed, which then rebooted into its recovery and tried to install the GAPPS package. The GAPPS installation was a fail. CM recovery asked me to try using TWRP to do such installation ( go figure! ); in fact, CM recovery couldn't flash anything besides another CM 12.1 update. After this point I wasn't able in any possible way to enter TWRP nor install it. Even if I want to flash using fastboot I couln't! adb reads my device just fine, and can use it to reboot into flashmode, which doesn't seem to be functioning properly. The blue light turns on but there isn't a thing on the screen, fastboot can't recognize is it and hence I can't flash anything using fastboot.
Should I reflash partitions if this could be done on Z1? ( I did it before on my Nexus ) Can I use Odin? I even doubt I can enter download mode on my phone
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
No?
Ok! :sad:
Is your bootloader unlocked? To run cm on our z1 you need an unlocked bootloader because cm needs a custom kernel.
You can try Sony companion app or androxydes flashtool in combination with a pre-rooted ftf to reach stock again.
The thing is even Sony flashtool (Emma) is not reading my phone, it detects a device in the USB port, but not the device!
I managed to install TWRP using TWRP Manager app that I downloaded from APKmirror website. I installed GApps and it is working fine right now.
TWRP Manager said that I should have a FOTA recovery or something like that, and if I don't have one then I am installing the recovery on my responsibility.
Still no bootloader or flash mode. Neither Emma nor Odin are identifying the phone. Although my phone lights blue, but the screen shows nothing!

AFAIK, Emma hasn't been updated for a LONG time. It will remain defunct with no updates and no support. Use flashtool from androxyde if you want to continue using Sony's stock ROM.
No bootloader or flash mode detection: That usually means the drivers that interfaces with your phone is missing. Search around XDA for the correct fastboot and adb drivers for your PC's OS.
My approach for fixing your issue: Find the right drivers and put a stable Lollipop ROM on your sdcard. If you have fastboot working (make sure you have unlocked bootloader), flash boot image from the Lollipop zip and flash the recovery image found in some Lollipop threads. If everything goes well, your phone will bootloop, but you'll have working recovery. Press Vol Down when the Sony Logo appears on screen to enter TWRP. Since you saved a backup of your phone elsewhere, erase all the partitions (minus sdcard), format them to ext4, and flash the Lollipop ROM from your sdcard.
hey guys!
I've done something stupid with my ZR and not the vibra call just vibrates twice and the red LED is flashing when i wan't to turn on the phone.
But step by step: the phone has XZDualrecovery 2.8.26 with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the "lastest official stockrom which is 5.1.1 and root.
I tried to update to TWRP 3.0 in the TWRP menu, but i've done something wrong i guess. there was only one option to choose, i cant remember exactly -perhaps it was something with boot partition?! And now it stucks at the red led right after pressing the power button.
is there any chance to bring it back to life again? is it possible to flash just the boot partion again? Which files should i include/exclude in flashtool?
flashtool can detect the phone in flashmode and also in fastboot mode!
flashed the ftf again, but excludes the wipe of user data and apps! -problem solved! :good:
a mod can delete this post.
Is that your phone bootloader unlocked?It will be easy if your phone UB so only by command shell you can flash the recovery img and flash rom from the recovery.What you have tried is wrong.You should install the recovery to recovery partition.Or if you want to flash stock rom from the flashtool do nothing and flash directly.
well,remember the first line to get job easily done.
