Just try boot to recovery using the buttons and restore your TWRP backup (I assume you did do a backup at some point)

Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:

First of all you don't need to try PC Companion as it won't work on an unlocked bootloader!
Have you tried flashing another kernel in fastboot mode?

The Sony PC Companion trick worked. My phone is working fine now. Only thing is it is now in GB 2.3.4 and bootloader is also locked. I have to start again from scratch and root my device to update it to JB

That's strange as PC Companion doesn't work on an unlocked bootloader normally. Did you lock it again or did it just work like that?

hi everyone, i had try to install cyanogenmod 11 by percyg2 but i cant flash it.. it says status error 7.
also i flashed the kernel but when i choose boot with that kernel using fastboot it says that my device must be rooted.. (
BTW. i'm rooted and unlocked bootloader but i dont know why sony pc companion recognize my device as lt22 (xperia)
P.S. i had cyanogenmod by percyg2 time ago, but i dont know what's happening with my device
Is your phone lt22? If it isn't, then I don't know
If it's lt22, the start pc companion select support zone, and repair my phone or somthing similar, this will restore your phone like it just came from factory

just fastboot the boot.img that was in the CM11 ROM
enter recovery then factory reset, install ROM and g-apps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW1znjDLe-k
This happened for me, and i found this video, than it's ok.
When flashing gapps, it can say status7, don't matter, it says but flashes the gapps.

no need to "hot" boot(it doesn't work that way now), you need fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot reboot, then on first vibrate you press power button to enter recovery

good that it's finally working now on your phone
i'm switching back and forth with CM11 and Paranoid Android. Personally, I stay longer with PA because of Halo, although the ROM hasn't been updated for awhile now.
I have been using the prerooted .575 ROM by kulvertti (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...lipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821) with the bootloop fix in the last week, and decided to reflash the rom without the bootloop to test whether it works without it.
After the advanced wipe of everything including internal memory and flashed the .575 rom, my tablet can no longer boot up. It just stayed in the Sony Xperia screen. Tried to ADB to it, but gets the "device null not found error", nor the adb devices showed it was connected to the PC.
What can I do to get me out from this now? or at least how can I install TWRP recovery so I can try flash again? Much appreciated.

Thanks, but EMMA won't work. It is for unlocked bootloader. I managed to download the flashing tool 0.9.22.3 by Androxyde and get everything back to normal, though I still need to flash the bootloop fix for the .575 ROM.
please help urgently :'(
i have flashed system UI mod which seems to be corrupted
phone gave a message of system UI error
so in recovery ..i went to advanced format then formatted system and cache etc
pressed reboot and message of are you sure to reboot ..no OS
i rebooted and screen stuck at the first black screen and could not shut down or restart :'(
good day,
If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery via fastboot mode and in recovery flash a rom of your choice. If bootloader locked you'll have to go the flashtool way and if I may ask why did you reboot a systemless phone?

forgive me as i'm a newbie
i rebooted it while it is systemless cause i'm reckless
where can i got the recovery to flash
my mobile is z2 6503
Ok check under Xperia Z2 General for FTF Z2 stock firmwares and download one of them. After that download and install the latest flashtool, which will assist you with installing the FTF firmware.
You can use Xperia Companion app on your computer to perform a software repair. Install the latest version of Xperia companion app from the Sony site. Once it's installed, open it and click software repair. It will ask you to connect the phone in flash mode in due time; at that point connect to your PC with a USB cable while pressing the Volume Down button. The Companion app will download the stock rom and flash it on its own. You just have to wait until the process is over. This will delete all the data on your device though.

You wiped everything and now there is no rom installed so its not going past the sony logo. You have two options.
1. Unlock bootloader if you want to run a custom rom.
2. Flash stock rom to go back to stock.
and how to flash stock rom , you need to have the flashtool , put your phone in donwloadmode ( volumne down + plug in the usb cable ) and then flash the stock rom of sony ( you can find the method on how to do it on google ) its simple and then you decide out of 2 options above from last post
Since your bootloader isn't unlocked your can use Sony Companion Software to repair your phone. When you click update there is a repair option. Select repair and hook up the phone in flashmode. Make sure your ZU is atleast 50% charged.
thanks for replying everyone i tried the flashtool stock rom installation and i got boot loop now i tried two different ftf files but they both result in boot loop what am i doing wrong?

can you flash the stock rom again and copy paste the log here in a code quote like this one:
Code:
write here
And what is your model? C6833 etc..
What stock rom did you download?
Which drivers did you use?
And which version of flashtool did you use?
And lastly what settings did you use when flashing the stock rom? All options included so ALL partitions being flashed. And none excluded.
Screenshots is always good help .
