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?

No, better don't advise to lock the phone again when it's bricked. That isn't a good idea!

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
Thanks everyone for solutions.....:victory::laugh::laugh:

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?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not then you need to go through the dualrecovery method from NUT.
What I suggest you do is use flashtool, connect your phone in flashmode and flash an official firmware ftf to bring back your system. After all that then you can go through the whole rooting and dual recovery again later.

i solved...i used official sony flashtool emma..and i unlocked bootloader..then i flash original stock rom..
After I installed Teamwin Recovery, http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-touch-t3247939, I wanted to see if it worked. When I was done i tapped Reboot and then system. It said that I had no OS installed and now my device is stuck in a bootloop. What the f**k have I done?
You are not stuck in a bootloop if you can access TWRP. Just install a rom or flash firmware with the FlashTool and you should be fine. Im not sure how you deleted your rom.

Hello, check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/guide-t3130092
That's like a complete in-depth information/guide for the M4 aqua.
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.
Hi all,
I need some help I think. I searched everywhere and I kinda lost hope.
I unlocked my bootloader of my G8341 and a few months ago I got a working version of AOSP, but all of a sudden my phone didn't get past the Sony logo. My data is already lost, that's no harm, of course I made tons of backups
Tried to get back to stock rom with the latest Flashtool, but with no succes.. I think the combination of oem/vendor/boot is not right.
Of course I know that this could be a consequence but I would like to get my phone up and running.
Would like to get some pointers.. Any help would be appreciated!

Tried that already
Also tried to flash all partitions with flashtool with firmware downloaded with xperifirm and tried to directly flash aosp rom with fastboot.
Hi. Do you get an error related to the model in flashtool? If so, flash it via newflasher. There are guides online on how to prepare the firmware. I had this issue after carbon rom.

Appreciate the help, but same old.. Flashing seems to go fine according to newsflasher (just tried it), no errors, but when booting the phone, I only see the sony logo.
