Hi!
I wanted to flash a custom firmware, which has own boot.img. I flashed it via Flashtool and it didn't show any error. I wanted to turn it on and bah, I can't. It hangs on a screen "SONY". I can enter into fastboot mode, but I can't enter into recovery.
What should I do now?I had unlocked bootloader, so I don't know why it happened.

take out the boot.img from the zip, flash the kernel (boot.img) via flashtools, then enter recovery flash the remaining zip via rrecovery. be sure to select the right zip for your device (xperia mini pro = mango = sk17i)

That's what I wanted to do, but after flashing boot.img phone doesn't allow me to enter recovery. It shows "SONY" forever.
Solved, I've used wrong option to flash kernel. I should use "Select kernel to HotBoot" in Flashtool.

Hello,
I am a complete noob when it comes to dealing with phones.
I have a Sony Xperia Sola (firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 ICS)
I downloaded Rom Manager via Play Store and want to flash a custom rom.
But whenever I try to select the option "Reboot and Install", only a normal boot happens.
How do I reboot and install the rom?? I have tried the button combos (power+volume - and volume +) but nothing works.
Please help!
PS
I am
-rooted
-bootloader unlocked
-clockworkmod recovery via recoverX
-rom is [ROM] Unoficial JellyBean stockrom 6.2.A.0.400 Sola
I understand that the rom you mentioned is recently ported and also deleted from development section of sola (munjeni rom).
According to his instruction, you need to do following thing:
Enter fastboot mode (off phone then hold volume up and plug cable)
Flash boot.img in zip Rom file to phone (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Turn on phone and enter recovery menu (on phone then spam the volume down)
Do the clear data, cache... then install the zip file (rom)
Done.
Why was the rom deleted from the development section? Any clue? It was such an useful rom (using it myself)
And no, the original instruction only said to flash the zip file. Not fastboot the kernel before that. Fastbooting is only necessary I you get boot loops on normal flashing

I finally got into recovery mode yesterday (CWM touch), but today when I tried to do it again, only a stock recovery occurred. What happened?? I can't go back into cwm touch recovery
You have not flashed your kernel (boot.img) properly

I finally got into recovery mode, but when trying to flash the JB rom, it says something about a (Status 7 error) Flash aborted. how did you successfully flash yours?
First, you flash the stock ICS rom of sola. It will create the compatible partitions for JB in sola.
Second, you enter recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.... (maybe flash boot.img is required to entering this mode)
Finally, you install the zip file (rom).
Good luck.

I have flashed stock ICS, but even after I wiped/factoy reset, it still says Status 7 error
Maybe you should try to flash the boot.img in the zip file of munjeni before entering recovery mode and wipe all data, cache.

You flash in fastboot mode, or with recovery, but you must have unlocked bootloader, or it will brick your phone.
Hi,
I was trying to flash a new rom , however before doing so I used Nut's dual recovery "Philz" to wipe system and data and when I tried to enter again into recovery mode I am stuck on Sony Logo. When I tried to use flash tool I am getting device connect and disconnect error . I can see blue light while my phone is connected into fast boot mode. I will be really grateful if anyone can assist me . Many Thanks !

[NUT]'s recovery can be installed via the installer (run from PC) or flashed via recovery. Since you can't get into recovery, you'll have to use the installer. Get from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/

Alternatively, use PC Companion and do a repair. You should be returned to stock firmware with stock kernel and should be able to boot. Then root and install recovery, and then flash the custom ROM.
To enter flashmode, you need to press the volume down button while connecting the phone to the PC.

My D6503 is currently running paranoid android. Previously I've been using cwm but yesterday I decided to try out TWRP. I install TWRP using the TWRP manager in play store but after that when I try to boot to recovery it would show a black screen and orange light on the top speaker. Then I tried to install XZDualRecovery using the installer's method 1 (custom rom with superSU). However after install when the phone reboots it stucks and the sony logo keep flashing. I force shut down using the red button on the side and I managed to get to the system and removed XZDualRecovery. However I still can't get into recovery, it will just show that black screen and orange light. So I wanna ask you guys what should I do to get access to recovery again?
Thank you

use flashtool>flashtool.net to flash the TWRP IMG in the original development section, you will need to re-flash Paranoid android ROM to get cwm back
you cant change the recovery pre-packaged into a ROM
Xperia's don't have a recovery partition so recoveries are bundled with the kernel

hmm, odd, i think you will have to reflash stock, reflash stock then go back to PA
you can use flashtool to reflash a stock FTF

it will not relock your bootloader
1. download flashtool
2. download a FTF (there is a ftf thread at top of the general section)
3. put FTF in firmwares folder in flashtool folder
4. click flash device icon at the top left
5. click the FTF you selected
6. wait for it to finish preparing
7. power off device
8. plug in flashmode (volume down held and plug usb in)
9. wait for it to finish
10. enjoy stock or install recovery and flash a custom rom

thank you very much. Looks like it gonna take plenty of time. Will do it later when I have time
There is a easier way to get CWM back. Just flas the boot.img from pa and then go into fastboot (in case you are not already and do "fastboot erase recovery"
On the Z2 the recovery is included in the kernel, and once recovery boots it get expanded to the recovery part. As this is filled by TWRP ATM, none of the 2 will boot.

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

Dont forget to flash new bootloader MM AND N roms can't be flashed on XZ dual recovery
Hi everyone,
I tried to install Lineage OS on my Xperia Tablet Z Wifi and followed the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pollux_windy/install
I am on Ubuntu and I did unlock the bootloader successfully. Then I tried to flash twrp but this is where things went wrong.
After entering
Code:
fastboot flash boot ./twrp-3.5.2_9-0-pollux_windy.img
the device did not start anymore. I can still enter fastboot mode and the device is recognized on the PC but else the only thing that happens is the LED blinking red.
Any ideas where to go from here are appreciated.
Rootk1t said:
you flashed recovery to boot. So only recovery exists in boot section.
Of course tablet won't boot afterwards, as there is not kernel.
Download custom rom you want to install, unpack boot.img from roms zip files and flash via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards enter recovery and flash custom rom zip, gapps or whatever you need.

I tried this but flashing the boot.img does not change anything unfortunately.

You can reflash stock ROM via Flashtool v.0.9.18.6. or flash another boot.img to check if it boots or not.
Thank you, this worked for me.
Should have used the right twrp form the beginning. flash to boot works if it is the right version in my case scorpion_windy
