If you install Marshmallow Rom and it just stayed in a loop so you have to flash the bootloop fix for Marshmallow 6.0.1 that will fix this problem and the rom will boot successfuly :
1- Flash Marshmallow rom you want through the recovery.
2- Download this bootloop fix from this link: https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
3- Copy it to your phone or sd card then flash this bootloop fix through the recovery.
4- Reboot and the rom will boot successfully without any bootloop.
I wish that i had helped you.
If there is anything just ask me and i will answer you

I'm searching a way to recover my forever-looping phone. I had the Android M, got the horribel ideia of using kingroot via PC and now the phone does not go to the OS. I've tried everything, I´m gonna try installing all drivers again (windows 10). Anyway, What can I do since I dont have recovery mode ?
Plus, when I try to flash a fresh rom, I get this;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I dunno whatelse to do. It's like the PC do not recognize the phone. The little brick just vibrates and loops.

Ok bro. just come down we can solve it by two ways:
The first one by unlocking your bootloader then install recovery then flash a new rom through recovery.
The second way is to keep the bootloader locked and recover your phone by using flashtool and any ftf for xperia z2
So which way from the two ways you want to solve your phone by it?

If the bootloader unlocked so you can easily flash recovery by using fastboot commands by using these steps:
1- download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot from this link: https://mega.nz/#!7942XJjI!9gurv7k3PVVFT8VViDbkg_sUiRTiDPeArhwjXsG XB9c
2- Download and install Flashtool drivers from this link: http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Rmxhc2h0b29sLWRyaXZlcnMtMS41LTIwMTQwMzE4
Skip Step 2 if you already installed Flashtool Drivers that install with Flashtool if you have installed it.
3- Download the latest twrp recovery from this link: https://dl.twrp.me/sirius/twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img.html
4- Move the twrp recovery that you have downloaded in step 3 to this Path C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
5- put your phone in fastboot mode by this way >> (Power off your phone completely then wait for 10 second then press and hold the volume up then connect your phone to the computer with usb cable while you are pressing and holding the volume up then the led will change it's color to blue.. that is the fastboot mode)
6- Now go to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder in that path (C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) Press shift button from keyboard then press right click form mouse while pressing the shift button you will find an option [Open command window here] Press it.
7- In the command window write this command exactly: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img
8- After it flashed successfully reboot your phone by writing this command: fastboot reboot then unplug the usb from the phone
9- when the phone reboot and the sony logo appear keep pressing the volume up and down until the twrp recovery opens
10- That is it.. you can from it wipe data, system, cache, dalivk cache and flash any rom you want
After you successfully flash a recovery just tell me and i will help you in flashing a new rom through the recovery
This way works only if you have bootloader unlocked
I wish i had helped you

No no bro, you can enter recovery in marshmallow but instead of keep pressing on volume up as in lollipop to enter the recovery, in marshmallow you have to keep pressing on volume down to enter the recovery when you reboot your phone and the sony logo appears
So try and tell me
