all was fine until i tried to install the language pack for chinese:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18957548&highlight=chinese#post18957548
and i forgot to wipe Davilk Cache.
now my phone just keeps booting to the oodie miui screen, won't enter xrecovery or flash mode. how do I fix this ?
you should be able to boot into recovery from power off depending on what phone you have...or you can get to recovery from your bootloader....or you can use adb...what phone are you using because unless you find a way to get into your recovery you will stay stuck in a boot loop

I am using the xperia x10, and I don't know how to do any of the things you've reccomended, I'm still new to this.
You can always go into recovery mode by turning off your phone, taking out the battery. Then hold the back button and put in the battery, it will boot the phone in recovery mode (not xrecovery) and the green led light will come on. At the point you can flash a rom via flashtool.

i've tried that and when i hit "flash" it "aborts" and my phone starts up to the oodie miui screen thats sort of like a loading screen since it has the loading bar i guess?
Repeat again! Should work!
would my battery need to be more than 50% to do that? i've read some places that it has to.
You have to press flash when the green led light is still on. It doesnt stay on for long tho, so do it quickly. And ya having the bat above 50% is a good idea for when the phone needs to be disconnected from computer and boot on its own.
- Captain Scrat
it starts to flash then exits flash mode and then "boots" and it aborts flash.
it happens sometimes. Try again
It finally let me flash it and it fixed! thanks guys.
I've tried holding down the up and down volume keys both separately and together and nothing. I can still access fastboot, but other than that, it's stuck on the "Sony" screen. I tried installing the recovery again (and tried two different recoveries) and it goes through just fine but when I reboot it STILL wont go into the recovery. What can I do?
Anyone? I've tried everything I can think of.
If your getting to the sony logo thats a good sign, it means its not a hard brick
Download and flash a stock ftf with flashtool
Or try recover with sony upgrade tool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Make sure to disable windows driver enforcement ( google it) when u install the driver package included with flashtool for it to work properly

Same problem here.. Got my Xperia Z2 a few days ago, successfully unlocked the bootloader through the official method, but no luck actually getting into recovery mode. Tried getting CWM to work - flashed successfully, but no LED lights up during boot and pressing the volume up/down buttons doesn't help either.. Sad Face.
So I may have screwed up my phone. I wanted to do a complete fresh install and wiped all the partitions in TWRP (except external and usb).
Then before I got a chance to flash the rom my phone died (didn't realise my battery was low I know my fault).
Now it wont boot past the sony logo and I cant shutdown the phone. holding power does nothing tried holding it for over 30 seconds still nothing.
The phone has been stuck at the sony logo for over an hour and is starting to get very very warm.
Does anyone know how I can shutdown the phone to prevent damaging the battery/cpu? Have I hard bricked the phone? I hope flash tool can detect the phone at the sony logo because I can't shutdown to even boot to flash mode
I Do not have access to a computer at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hold Power and Volume Up. That should shut the phone off. If that doesn't work, try the off switch next to the USB Port.
When you do get access to a computer, download SUS and do a software repair to restore your phone to stock (only for locked bootloader). Alternately, you can download a stock .ftf file for your Z2 and flash it via flashtool.
Your phone is not hard-bricked, it is soft bricked. Hard Bricked means that the phone turns into an expensive paperweight dummy handset.
Hope this helps

Force reset it like here: http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...product=xperia-z1#!Resetting-your-device.html
and do a factory reset. Go to recovery -> wipe data/ factory reset.
EDIT: or flash again your rom / kernel.

You are a life saver bro I been trying to figure out how to force off the phone for an hour tried every button combo except volume up for some reason (think I tried it but didnt work prolly wasn't actually pushing the button)
yeah I'm familiar with sus and flashtool so I should be good from here out just needed to figure out how to force the damn thing off. I been out of the sony game too long ive been with samsung since my x10 but now im back
Thanks again bro just happy its a soft brick.
Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you'll need to know to help, so I'll just tell you what I think is important....
Current situation:
- If I boot the phone normally it freezes at the SONY screen and goes no further.
- If I attempt to boot into recovery mode, it loads the CWM screen (logo in the middle with instructions at bottom), but no actual menu or options. After about 5 seconds, this screen disappears, the phone reboots and then gets stuck on the SONY screen.
- If I connect the phone to the computer in Flashmode Flashtool recognizes it as being connected, but regardless of what I do, after about 2mins the phone reboots, loses connection with the computer, and freezes on the SONY screen as before mentioned.
- If I connect the phone to the computer normally while stuck on the SONY screen, the PC recognizes it though doesn't allow me to do anything to it, and Flashtool says I need to install drivers (I have installed every driver that comes with Flashtool).
How I got here:
- I've rooted the phone
- I've flashed Z2_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-438-v05
- I've unlocked the bootloader (via Flashtool)
- I've installed [Rom][Unofficial]Slim Rom 4.4.4 based on CM11.0, ROM for the Sony Xperia Z2
The phone was okay up until this point, however I wasn't happy with the ROM so I tried to reboot into recovery mode to wipe and install Carbon. This is when the trouble began.
Now it seems I can't do anything :/
Please help. This phone is literally 3 days and it looks like I've completely screwed it >.<
Thanks!

Do this
Put the phone in fastboot mode>Install recovery again from the command prompt
After recovery is flashed try installing carbon rom

I did try this but can't find a reliable download.
The link posted in XDA forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934) takes me to MegaUpload and for some reason the download always stalls at 44% (I've tried 3 times).
Just soft brick!!!
Just search for ftf and flashtool anywhere in internet

You're on the wrong forum mate, for the z2 go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2
Please don't try to flash any .ftf file you downloaded from the xperia z forum, as this would hard brick your phone. Search for it in the link I posted.
Good luck
