Hello guys,
i got a bootloop after pushed some apks into /system and set up permission.
My phone is rooted, but the recovery (XZDual) dont work and i cant get into, to resolve the problem.
Maybe some of you have good idea, how i can solve the bootloop without flash a new stock rom and lose my data.
Firmware: 23.4.A.1.264
Root: Yes
Locked Bootloader: Yes

You can do nothing without recovery i think you should flash an ftf again

Yeah you are right. Now get flashed 5.0.1 and get working recovery to prevent problems like this in the future.
BTW excuse my for my english, eye pains 100%
You can do it by flashing only system with flashtool.

Hey guys,
Can I still use the easy root tool to root after updating to the 4.4.4 firmware?
Thanks
Nope
I tried but it is getting stuck on CREATING VM (JAVASUCKS)
Same here... +1 Stuck on "Creating VM... "
No, the known flaws in 4.4.2 are all patched for latest fw, only current way around it is to downgrade, root install dual recovery and flash a pre-rooted zip from CWM.
In other words;
Go back to .314 (4.4.2) firmware,
Root,
Install a recovery,
And flash the new 4.4.4 firmware via recovery.

There are new rumors that you can root 314 - select preserve mode in SuperSU - and go OTA... and root will remain...

Yeah I've heard that aswell. It's most likely working. Shall I try it? Just spent a few hours getting 4.4.4 work on my phone with root...
Ah right - Fuuuun...
I think i'll just carry on stock until someone sorts out a rooting method for 4.4.4 that doesn't involve so much faffing about lol.
Thanks for all the replies
Just keep a eye in Z3 Section too
4.4.4 firmrare is a near direct port
Hi folks,
I have a new 4.4.4 Z2, should I root it now or wait after the Lollipop version is installed?
Will I be able to install the Lollipop when rooted?

You can update to 5.1.1 without loosing root when you flash prerooted firmware, but when I tried to do that unfortunately I had to wipe data else the systemui was not working, and Sony backup and restore won't let you restore your old data.

I have the same situation. Rooted and custom recovery on z2 6503 stock 5.0.2. I got an update on my phone. Do I have to unroot and remove recovery? Or I can just update. I don't want to flash prerooted firmware

Hi! I have a question. But what does Back Up And Restore save then for you if it can't restore all your data? Because I'm afraid of losing all my gaming data, I don't wanna factory reset the phone because I don't know if my data will be saved... Rookie here
Well, I had the same situation as u( rooted with LB and custom recovery) . What I did is flashing 5.0.2 again to get back to stock recovery. Then installed the update normally through OTA with all my data preserved and no problems at alll ....but lost root of course.
You've another option that you can flash 5.1 directly through flashtool but untick the "wipe: data" before flashing. There is some prerooted FTFs in the forum ..choose the one suitable for u and flash it without wiping in flashtool.
Hope that helps.

I just did that last night. I made my own pre-rooted zip with recovery from Customized UK FTF , using the tutorials found here on XDA. I deleted cache with recovery and flashed the zip. Now I have 5.1.1 with root, no data lost and absolutely no issue and no force closing apps.

If you don`t want pre-rooted firmware you should update your phone via PC Companion, it will backup all your data. But be warned that you WILL LOSE ROOT and it will be quite tricky get root back. Another way is to flash a stock FTF using flashtool and uncheck flash data. This way you won`t lose any data, you only LOSE ROOT.
If you are sure you don`t want root anymore go ahead. I strongly suggest flashing a pre-rooted firmware.
Good day,
I have this Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 currently on Android 4.4.4 using 23.0.1.A.0.167 mobile phone which I am having trouble flashing, I have unlocked the boot-loader. I have flashed a custom Rom on this phone before, using suggestions that I have read on the Xda-Developers site. I reverted back to stock Rom after a while, because the custom Rom I flashed had issues with network service signal, and it began to restart the phone on it's own. I have found a good Rom and I am trying to flash this but it doesn't work. I followed all the steps like what I did in the first successful flash. I downgraded the stock Rom, rooted the stock Rom, installed CWM recovery, the exact same way as the first. Also I ensured that the MD5 number is a match and the Rom still won't flash, even tried TWRP recovery. It kept showing bad file. Is it possible that my boot-loader got re-locked when I reverted back to stock Rom using flash-tool. And how can I resolve this problem so that I can go back to flashing successfully.

If you unlocked you bootloader those steps are a waiste of time. Just flash a kernel with recovery.

Unlikely, if your bootloader is relocked it should still let you flash the file but won't boot.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to finally flash the ROM. I just started all over from scratch, flashed ftf .167 with Sony flash-tool. Then rooted. Installed CWM recovery. Tried to flash kernel with recovery, that didn't work. So I just tried flashing ROM directly without wiping anything and it went thru. was very surprised. By the way it was eXistenZ Ultimate | 4.5.0 ROM.
Thanks developers at XDA:angel::good:
Hello Everyone!!
This is my first post but I am an XDA reader from last 2 years
I have an Xperia Z ulta
Today I tried to unlock my bootloader and I successfully did that too.
Now after unlocking the boot loader I went to install a custom rom but somehow the gapps file became corrupted and I got stuck in 'ui stopped working error' and it somehow replaced my twrp to cwm. So after wasting alot of time I decided to reflash the stock firmware using flashtool.
Now after the flashing was completed the rom was up and at first I got stuck in 'configuring apps 1/172 error' loop(it restarts after configuring all the apps and I had a loop).
I redownloaded a fresh ftf file and now I had a boot loop.
I tried to repair the software with sony pc companion but it says 'phone contains modified software that cannot be updated '
I feel so helpless now
Please help me
Sony Xperia Z ultra C6802
Unlocked Boot loader
hmmmmm.
You have that version xD c6802 lol

Have you tried to flash a stock kk ftf and from there re-root, install recovery.... and flash x rom what GAPPS did you flash? I have minimal GAPPS for 5.0-5.1 if you need it.

Yeah me personally I'd start from Kk ftf. And go from there. Let me know how it goes.
It worked like a charm!!!
Thank you!!!
By the way I was trying bliss rom I guess that rom is faulty or I didn't know how to install it properly
Now I am on "RXSW Z5 Experience"
And it feels good

No problem enjoy your ROM
So I've managed to recover root privileges but dual recovery is lost, I've read in dual recovery Q&A that there's some files I have to erase when you don't want it anymore, so I thought just erase and then flash dual recovery again, but since this happened a lot of factory resets ago there are some concerns about this being the right way, do I just flash it without erasing those files? Also is it realy necessary to flash the latest DR or will my old version do?
I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.118 on a c6833 with LB.
I would also love it if you could recommend the most stable Nougat or MM 6.0.1 rom, I know there's AOSP Nougat, DU and maybe RR for 6.0.1? What would you flash for a daily driver, I don't care about the camera much, but if Wi-Fi and phone radio are working normally, that should do it for me, thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand with this.

Have you tried to Unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery and root and relock it?
By any chance have you been on official 5.1.1?
No I've never been on any stock LP be it 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, so does it matter if I erase the files in the following howto before reinstalling DR?
How to remove DR:
Delete the following files:
/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)
/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
/system/bin/charger
/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh
/system/bin/mr
Also is it better to unlock the bootloader first? I don't want relock it afterwards since I want to flash DU or AOSP Nougat, or RR M and have a recovery.
I read a lot of the forums all the time but I'm still pretty much a noob at this, up until now rooted Kitkat is all I've needed, sorry if I'm asking too much.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
OK so I've been reading, are you suggesting that I unlock the bootloader so when I install DR it stores the recovery on the FOTA kernel partition, instead of /system, so i won't lose DR next time?
I guess that's what I've been looking for if so, last question, is DR compatible with Android M or N roms?
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still a noob, hehe.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you wanna be on a cm or asap rom with DR.
If you plan to use any of those roms, yes unlock the bootloader. From this point you should be able to install DR on top of the current recovery, as long as you've had any type of recovery you can flash with an app. Rashr, twrp manager etc.
I've UB now, do I need the new bootloader? Do I get it if I go directly from my Stock KK to RR Lollipop rom? Can I go directly from stock KK to RR Lollipop without bricking it?
Sorry if I'm asking to much but I'm just trying to make sure I don't end up with a bricked phone.

So I've managed to get DR working again flashed RR Lollipop but now my phone doesn't see my external SDcard, what should I do?, I've read the whole RR L thread down to the last message but the only solution I've found which is to correctly uninstall Nut's DR doesn't work for me since there's no such files in /system/bin

I believe no. I I'm not to familiar on the new bootloader. Prob have to ask one of the rom devs, but im pretty sure you just need twrp 3.0
Thanks RealityFails, you've been of such help, I did learn from your posts, I flashed DR then RR LL rom then with twrp app and flasher I got my recovery for non-stock since I read somewhere that Nut's DR doesn't work with custom roms.
I'm now trying to learn how to read android's logs to see what's up with this ROM not reading my external SDcard, when I go to storage unmount it then mount again, it reads for a few seconds then it's gone, whatever man! he he crazy rom, otherwise is awesome, and everything else works. If I'm not able to fix the SDcard access do you recommend any other LL rom similar to RR?
Anyhow many thanks for helping this Z Ultra stay unbricked, updated and with a decent recovery.
