did you read good and do this?
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3 - when phone is booting (first 5 seconds) press volume down key several times to enter recovery and choose apply update from sdcard
WARNING - if you used another rom (stock or custom) you have to wipe data or device will not boot

Hi
When you were installing CM7 on clockworkmod did you remeber to wipe everything? before you install the rom, on the first screen of clockworkmod you see wipe data and wipe cache. Wipe them both then go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache and battery stats, after that install CM7. So what should you do:
1. turn of phone
2. connect to pc on fastboot and flash kernel with built in recovery (Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
3. now disconnect phone and go to cwm and wipe everything like i said
4. install cm7
if works hit thanks ^^
btw. sony ericsson logo, seems like you didnt even flash kernel?
Since u are saying u seeing sony ericsson logo seems u didnt flash kernel properly, use flashtool in xperia neo dev section makes things way easier.
Good luck bro hope this helps !

just flash that kernel via fastboot. don't use apps to flash kernels
fastboot flash boot nameOfKernel.img
I think you forgot to flash the custom kernel,cos if you flashed the CM kernel it should not show Sony Ericsson boot logo,it should show CM boot logo
update
I flashed .42 firmware again using flashtool and the device is now working
Now i realized that the problem was that i didn't properly unlock the bootloader...what i want now is a way to unlock it..bcz everytime i try it gives me this error
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.003s
I searched the forum and tried this thread

but it didn't give any kind of solution, Anybody can help ?

LOL, that's what i am doing in the first place, Thanks for your contribution anyway bro
I did something really stupid, my volume down button doesn't work 90% of the time. However i was stubborn with a workaround i was able to get in flashmode. Started pc companion and flashtool and prepared flashtool, then did recovery trough pc companion. As soon the phone rebooted i ended pc companion and flashtool took over. Everything fine till then.
I rooted, installed ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.117-BETA recovery. Then trough recovery I flashed chemcup his .757 firmware. Flash went ok, then the next step is to go to flashtool and flash the stipped ftf (kernel and baseband). And here things went wrong, very wrong.
I can't acces flashmode, mun volume down button now really stopped working. Tried for 10 hours, but not working.
Obviously the device won't boot, so pc companion can't help me. Recovery isn't working, or at least the screen isn't working. When i acces recovery the screen goes black but i do have adb. I also can go to fastboot. At the moment i'm really really stuck, i hope somebody can give me a push in the right direction.
In short, no flashmode, adb and fastboot working
I'm not at a pc so can't check or create anything, but here are my thoughts, are you on a locked BL?
Get a stock kernel and flash in fastboot?
Get a kernel/recovery and flash that then get a flashable zip with kernel and baseband - I think someone should be able to create this for you
I hope these thoughts help

Do you have a NAND backup or anything? I'm assuming you want to go back to stock now so you can send it in for repairs or something? You have a working ADB and Fastboot, so you can flash kernels and stuff like that, but have you tried "adb reboot bootloader"?

I'm on locked bootloader,
I don't now how to extract the kernel from a tft and convert to a boot.img. The only boot.img i found was from doomlord, that one didn't flash....locked bootloader i suppose.
If somebody does have a flashable zip that would be awesome

I have something in my dropbox, if i'm remember correctly... When there is live back in the sony i think its the right time to send it in for repairs.
adb reboot bootloader is working, it brings me to fastboot. If i only knew the command for flashmode, there must be one. Do you know if the is a trick with a usb connector with a certain resistance soldered into. In my old acer and lg i could enter flashmode with a certain usb cable.

You have access to Fastboot, so flash a different kernel with Recovery, and see where that takes you. If you get the phone booting again, you can buy DoomLord's "Xperia Reboot" app for around $2, which is totally worth it at this point, and use it to boot into Flashmode. You can see the Flashmode option on one of the screenshots.
This is pretty much your only hope at this point, so good luck!
I think you should be able to flash a .sin kernel from a FTF in fastboot with flashtool, that should get you booting I think
Then do a PCC repair and send in for servicing? or will that want flashmode?

Just back from the nightshift, so i can start trying again.
Fastboot won't allow me to flash kernel, my bootloader is locked. And at this moment i feel like unlocking can make at this moment things worse.
ITS ALIVE!!!
Finally it's alive!
Yesterdad it was alive for a bit, trough adb i manually flashed the LB recovery from NUT. Just used his script only entered each command trough adb.
So i had a full recovery by then, then i got really brave........ In short, i did exactly the same thing as mentioned in the OP. To make things worse, made a mistake with flashing manually the recovery.... recovery was gone...
My last option was to unlock, flashed jackie his kernel, and all is working again. My son can have his TAB2 back, i'm back in business:laugh:
Please, I'm stuck where you were, may you please give me the script you are talking about so I can use in fastboot, fastboot is all I can access. Phone will not boot to flashmode.
please share the script & steps that fixed your z ultra. mine is dead from last 1 months because my volume down key is not working please share the script

yes i can go in fastboot mode. but my phone is not rooted.
what shall i do ?
Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.

actually i didn't understand which recovery to flash? twrp or stock ??
No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.
I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.
I'm signing off for a while. Good luck.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM

If you can't boot to recovery or even bootloader this is your guide

if you can still access bootloader then simply just boot TWRP from it, first download this full rom and save it on your SD card
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219
then go to bootloader if you can still access it and boot TWRP
fastboot boot [whatever your twrp name is].img
you can download modified twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16464
then once inside TWRP just install the FULL ROM that was downloaded and saved in the SD card/
My phone boots into fastboot ok but there is no recovery wont boot. I try to flash recovery and it says it cant because not unlocked tried unlocking bootloader says its sucesfull but phone wont get bast boot logo.

Well. There are few simple ways.
First is can you enter the recovery?
If not, then just use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img". As boot.img select some kernel with custom recovery (doesn't matter if lollipop, kitkat etc.). After that just flash some rom and optionally a proper kernel for it.
However if your bootloader is locked you may just flash an ftf with flashtool.

If you don't have unlocked bootloader, then fastboot is useless for you.
As they guide users over your post in a locked bootloader just flash stock firmware for your model device with Flashtool.

Then there's probably something wrong with your adb drivers.
Good Mornig
:crying: I installed the latest Flyme rom on my Togari but now i can´t boot in to my recovery.
But if I boot into the Rom I don´t have Problems.
I only cant Boot to the Recovery and also i don´t can boot into fastboot or flashmode.
Sry for my English but im from Germany
If i try to boot into flashmode only the led is going for 1 sec. yellow and my phone turns off.
Also if i try to boot into fastboot, my Phone vibrates 3 times and then it turns off.
If I try to boot with the NDR Utils App into the Revovery, my Phone only makes a Bootloop.
I used this Rom :FlymeOS_4.5.1.1R C6833/02
and here is the thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/rom-flymeos4-5-1-1r-c6833-02-t3165834
ADB is installed. The Phone is also Rooted. for Recovery i Used NDR Utils.
Thanks for Help
NDR utilities....I guess you are using NUTS XZU dual recovery well mate it clearly said that whenever you flash a rom using xz dual recovery....you will lose your recovery...there was a flashasble zip which needed to be flashed after flashing rom which won't erase your recovery
Now regarding your fastboot or flashmode.... Are the latest and proper drivers install....don't care about the led flashing does the PC detect the device In flashmode? If yes just reflash stock back using androxyede flashtool and make sure you install the new bootloader next time via Emma which has a separate recovery partition in it.....regards if you need any help feel free to PM
You can flash dual recovery or download twrp manager, follow instructions and you'll be granted twrp recovery
