Badly Stuck - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 !

can you suggest how can i use the installer?

[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/

I am unable to boot the device , still can i istall it ? please sugegst

also, i can connect device into fastboot mode using flash tool but not into flash mode , gives me a popup to press back button when i use flashtool, please help

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.

[Q] Phone cannot boot into recovery after trying to switch recovery

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

I've downloaded flashtool but what function should I use to flash the img? Because the install recovery key is disabled for me.

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

If I flash back to stock, will it relock my bootloader? And can you explain briefly what are the steps?

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.

He said he already tried that
I think the dual recovery that was installed caused problems

Fastboot mode . Screen is black

Okey so I try to enter fastboot mode on my Z2. I hold the volume up and power button. The led turns blue but my screen is still black. What am I doing wrong here?
Ehm... Wasn't it supposed to be black?
I always mess up fastboot with flash mode. Don't you need to connect USB cable and volume up?
P.s I love doomlords Xperia Reboot App! Wort every penny. You can just reboot into flash mode ^^

Well how am I suppose to flash my zip files 0on the SD card if the screen is completely black ? I am pretty fresh to this .I have root but still on stock rom. Wanted to try the 4.4.4 for my Z2 but i dont have CWM installed and i wanted to install CWM but how do i do that if i cant reboot in fastboot mode
well if you are new, you should read for couple of hours first on the forum.
there are many threats with exact instruction.
or should all write same thing 1000x when someonw new comes to the forum?
but in few words
- fastboot is always black screen (you use adb on pc to put files to the phone in this mode, like change kernel with recovery)
- flashing zip is done in recovery (no black screen there)
- before flashing or fasboot entering always read forums first so you know what you are doing...

Unlock your bootloader after backing up your TA files while you're still on 4.4.2. You will loose your DRM keys by doing this !
Install 4.4.4 through Emma.
Download Doomlord advanced stock kernel v7 .
Unzip and copy boot.IMG into your SDK platform tools folder.
Power off your Z2 and hold volume up while connecting USB to your Z2,this way you will enter fastboot mode.
Open command window in platform tools folder and type :
fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
It will flash kernel and CWM recovery,after this type :
fastboot reboot
Your Z2 will reboot , during purple led hold volume up to enter CWM recovery mode,here you can flash update SuperSu 2.16 .zip to obtain root.
Doomlord advanced stock kernel & CWM you can find here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702001 , Google for SuperSu 2.16 .zip will take you to Chainfire's site.
Good luck,if you're new to this:read well before acting☺
Thanks a lot for the replies. Yes I will read again. I always forget between the times I do this! I have done this many times but with other phone models so its time to fresh up the memory

Hahaha sweet
There is a fastboot and flashmode both have black screen and can only be controlled by a computer and USB cable. There is this awesome "Flashtool" which has a nice GUI for both.
You can flash .ftf and .img files.
If you want to flash a .zip file you need a recovery. You can either flash NUTs dual recovery or Doomlords advanced stock kernel and then boot into recovery.

Cannot flash anything nor boot into recovery [device rooted]

Basicly I tried everything to get into recovery or flash / imstall a new one. Nothing worked so far..
My device is rooted and I can install all apps which need root acces.
I now installed Flashify and when I click on "Recovery image" or "Boot image" it says "Partition not found".
And since I cannot boot into recovery I cant install anything via zip files...
Would be nice if someone could help me.
Best Regards

use another method to boot into recovery
like ADB commands
Code:
adb reboot recovery
:good:
If your bootloader is locked, simply use [NUT]'s dual recovery.
If your bootloader is unlocked, install any 4.4.4 based kernel what has recovery built into it. I'm using AndroPlus as I'm running a 4.4.4 ROM as my main ROM.
Well there are severel apps which makes your device boot into recovery. None worked and I think the use the same method?

I'm assuming you are using [NUT]'s dual recovery? Did you install busybox before running the recovery installer? If not, install it, then run the recovery installer again. You will see the green LED when the device is showing the SONY logo before the waves bootlogo.

Is your device rooted? If yes, download any "Reboot app that needs Root", press the reboot to recovery and it should work. If it doesnt boot to recovery, it means the recovery was not installed properly.
Can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=phongit.quickreboot&hl=en
Alternatively, install this app and it can allow you to select which recovery to install. If you have your recovery installed, it will be detected.

Thanks for your answer!
The device is not rooted and it is not planed to do it in the original rom because I want to backup the original rom from recovery without any changes.
Do you know how i can check if the recovery was flashed properly?

I was under the impression that the Z2 Tab doesn't support reboot to recovery and instead you wait until the LED turns green on power-up and then you hold Vol-Down until it turns purple. The device will then boot to recovery.
At least, my rooted SGP511 won't reboot into recovery via any of the usual apps, but above works every time.

I installed the flyme rom now no recovery, fastboot and flashmode

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
