Root lost after updating to .575 and phone reboots when connecting usb - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically what I did is I followed the tutorial by @nurps on updating from .570 to .575
I created my own flashable zip added dummy_flashable instead of supersu and after flashing phone asked SuperSU not installed would you like to install I cancelled it and rebooted and everything went ok, there was no supersu after rebooting I downloaded root checked and it failed.
I planned to install recovery but the moment I connect phone onto PC,the phone just reboots.
So basically there is no root or recovery.
Any ideas how to get root/recovery back ?
Thanks

Help with Installation aborted error in recovery mode

Hi guys, I'm trying to flash this miui rom on my thl w7s. Successfully rooted and used CWM to flash rom.
It will start to install but mid way, phone says installation aborted and brings me to main screen of recovery mode.
I have charged my phone to above 80% and have followed the steps but still face errors. Can anyone shed some light?

not sure, but you may have to turn off "signature verification" option from the recovery.

you sure this is made for your device? Because if its for another device, even if you get it to flash, your device won't boot at all to recover it.

Are you using cwm or twrp recovery? Im sure those are the only recoveries supported. If yes, have you tried updating the recovery?

I used CWM first but when it didn't work, I tried TWRP.
I downloaded the 2 from play store. How do I update recovery? I just wanna be sure if what I did was considered updating the recovery.

well, your device isn't official supported by clockworkmod or twrp developers, so your on a build someone built from source themselfs. Most likely if that person hasn't built a new recovery, you can't update.
So search for a newer cwm
Where can I switch for a newer cwm apart from play store?

if your android has root, you can use mtkdroid tools created by rua1 for auto cwm made.
you can go to link above.follow the guide.
manual option is easy too, try to read the instruction carefully.
i think that is only copy paste to make recovery.
and if recovery has made, you can flash with mobileuncle tool apk
I need micromax doodle 3 lollipop rom plzz help mi
Hey guys I have phone model name-: N9100 I don't know why is there any ROM for this phone?
Please share me a link if anyone know a ROM for this phone when I buy this phone the seller told me this is note 4 Korean.
Installation Aborted
Move ROM to your PC and extract it anywhere
Now go to Meta-INF folder and then navigate to /com/google/android directory
After reaching to above mentioned location search for updater-script and then open it with Notepad++
Now search for “assert(getprop(“ro.product.device”) == “devicename” || getprop(“ro.build.product”) == “devicename” ||” (exclude first and last quotes )
Now change device name to your device suppose if you have nexus 7 then change devicename to grouper. (Grouper is code name for Nexus 7 similarly you can find name for your device easily on internet)
That’s all but don’t forget to save file after editing. Then ZIP the file again and move it to your device using custom recovery.

If you want CWM why cant you just install ROM manager and install CMW from there? CWM should install and replace TWRP with CWM.
Edit: and if that doesn't work I posted a link to MDK stock restore method in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49349378 Hope this helps.

If you have an MDK version with custom recovery and 4.3 installed then yes it will bring it back to MDK stock unrooted wiped. I've used it a couple times to get a clean start and rerooted.

Yes your basically flashing stock firmware via Odin and bringing your device back to MDK the way it was when you bought it. It wipes everything.

You can't install CWM through ROM manager? It should override TWRP.

Stuck on Sony logo (can't enter recovery)

Hello.
I've made a full wipe in the recovery menu. After that I restarted the phone and now it is stuck on the sony logo.
I've turned it off by pressing the red button. But still. It won't boot and also does not enter recovery by pressing the volume down button.
Is there any chance to recover from this?
What did you wipe? You post is ambiguous. If all else fails flash firmware with flashtool.

First I´ve made a regular wipe.( the option excplicity said that that was all that's needed).
After that I made one that said it would format all data (pictures, sms, etc) I guess it was under the "restore" option.I'm not sure.
My phone was encrypted because of my work e-mal.wich required it to be.
I would just download flashtool and flash a ftf file.

I was getting some weird popup ads that I couldn't find any reason to be happening.
- Can I connect my device to flashtool? What is the button combination
- Is there any ftf with root already?
-
No ftf with root. An ftf is pure Sony release. Just flash a rootable version, root and update.
I think it's volume up and plug in usb. You should get a green led. You need to install drivers though on your computer.

Flash the ftf file in Flashmode. It will work, if you say it doesn't your doing something wrong.

When you press " wipe to install new rom" it means that you Deleted the os you were on
So flashing an ftf will solve it
hi, put your phone in flashmode and hook up phone to pc, and use sony pc companian app to reflash original fimware lolll

On 23.4.A.0.570 it might be possible. Just download from http://nut.xperia-files.com dualrecovery for XZ2 and install it with USB Debugging enabled. Remember to allow ADB in SuperSU or KingRoot app.
