Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom
I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

Yes I unlocked my bootloader with test point ***but on service menu still say no** but on flashtool was saying bootloader unlocked B4 i did the test point and after it say bootloader is rooted

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.
I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

cheers..!!
did u hit the thanks button yet.?? :laugh::good:
I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.
So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?
Am I right ?

hello,i have a small probelm i tried to root the sony xperia s i make all the stages unlock bootloader,install the cmw recovery mode,install the gapps on sd card but i install wrong rom in sd card i thought is the cm10.1 but is nothing and now my phone stack there on recobery mode i cant install the rom what can i do pls help me.
If u have the stock ftf means just flash it via flashtool.. And for ur knowledge u can better flash a custom kernel with cwm recovery if u have a unlocked bootloader...
Just flash the stock ftf file and then search for a good custom kernel.. And flash it. U will have root and also cwm recovery.... But pls note that ur bootloader should be unlocked...
I preferring Stock + kernel... Using it for a long time.. No problem yet.. Good battery life...

You need to flash official ftf firmware for ur model using flashtool first.. After that extract the kernel zip and take out the .elf file and flash it via fastboot mode in flashtool

Hi! I'm new here! :fingers-crossed:
I have CWM and a custom rom , so far without problems . But after flash a "boot.img" , from an unstable rom , all other roms are having the same problem that, until the backup. The songs of SD are not recognized , nor the photos in the gallery (from WhatsApp, Picasa, Google, and others).
What can i do? Just flash other boot.img from other rom?

I think you can reflash boot.img from another room like cyanogenmod. If you have cyanogenmod custom rom. Open zip file and search the boot.img file after that you can extract that file, and flash it in fastboot mode with flashtool. Or if you system unstable you can reflash the stock ftf file (stock rom) for your device an do a full wipe. Because boot.img is same with kernel.sin on ftf file. So just try ya:laugh:

so you using Archidroid ya? hmm ya i've been used that rom before for any experiment. but now not, so you want back to stock. it's easy, yap you just flash the ftf file via flashtool and do a wipe data and cache. about your twrp will gone and you will don't have any recovery because your kernel is back to stock kernel. so i you want custom rom. you can flash any recovery in fastboot mode via flashtool again after your phone is boot up succesfully ok
Plz try this

I think it was one of the versions of CM11 . For this reason , I'm worried . I'm thinking of going back to the original rom . Can I just give in flash rom with FlashTool ? This could brick the phone? (sorry for any error, using tradutor).

You will do , you can NOT flash stock with TWRP , TWRP has only just been fixed to manage flashing linoOS
,.184 M had better battery imo
223 a little less

Install giovix`s modder tool from general section
Set it up , use`return to stock option` --in that option , first select boot , then after- recovery(both will be stock)
You then can
Reboot to stock recovery ,adb Sideload stock M
Once you have done this above .
I will help you downgrade.

Or you can unroot ,flash back stock recovery and You can upgrade to M easily providing your phone has not been tampered with , meaning , you are not rooted no more and have stock recovery .
If you have above and you can factory reset in settings , then , simply download M firmware from asus.
Put on external SD .
It should read something like this
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip
Or .144 or .184 or .223-user.zip .
When downloaded and inserted into phone , open Asus file manager and edit the file and save > eg.
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip.zip
Eg , put an extra .zip on the end of file , save , then reboot phone .
Side note , you may get ota to M , depending how you unlocked bootloader in LP
