I was running PACrom perfectly fine, I made a TWRP backup. I was trying to install AOKP 4.2.2 (which appeared to be successfully installed) and now my phone is bootlooping at the "Sony Turbo" logo, or it hangs there. I can't seem to reboot in to TWRP recovery either (power + VOL up at blue led). I tried reflashing the kernel in using fastboot tool but still the same result. Can't figure out what's wrong :/
Have unlocked BL w/o fastboot menu.
EDIT1: I also tried flashing the stock FTF for the R800a (4.0.2.A.0.42), and it's still stuck at the exact same screen (Sony Turbo logo). Which leads me to believe that it did not even flash the stock kernel.
EDIT2: Alright, nothing was working. So I decided to use the Sony PC Companion to "repair" my device. It's working now booting in to the OS (2.3.4), so I'm gonna try reflashing Turbo Kernel 3.1 and see if I still can't boot in to recovery.
EDIT3: Reflashed Turbo Kernel 3.1 successfully using FTF and Flashtool and am back on PACrom

EDIT 1.. if you try AOKP Once.. you wont go back to any other JB ROM again.. Its just amazing.
I have had my s 3 for a while as has it also been rooted for a long period.
I recently had a bad rom flash which for some reason disabled me from booting into recovery or the rom. it would boot past the tmobile screen and get stuck on the flashing samsung screen. If i tried to boot the recovery it would say in blue letters booting recovery image on the top corner and then resume to boot the os which would always get stuck on flashing samsung logo. I can get into download mode and i flashed a stock rom from sammobile website along with the stock kernel and recovery and i can now get into recovery but the rom always gets stuck at the flashing samsung logo or whatever the custom roms splash animation is even on roms that are not stock. im hoping someone can shine some light on this because im afraid i have a shiny paperweight.
Go into recovery and do a factory reset, but just so you know, it will also wipe your internal sd

Hi, I had bootloop, then restore backup which i had backed up from CWM. then after restore i can't get into CWM (previous combinations : blue light , back button x times) now it lights blue but doesn't gets into CWM... any ideas?
Can you boot to the ROM?
If yes, then just boot and reinstall CWM Recovery.
If not, go for stock firmware.
You may have wiped CWM when you restored that backup, are you using XParts? If your phone has a unlocked boot loader you can flash a kernel that has CWM on it.

Hi all, I got a problem I can't understand, suddenly my Xplay touchscreen (unlocked bl, Lupus kernel, don't remember which version, and custom rom) stopped works, so I've decided to reboot, it rebooted in recovery mode by itself, I've tried to wipe cache and dalvik, wipe system and flash another rom, flash a newer version of Lupus kernel and a rom, no hopes, it only reboot in recovery mode.
Any help? Thanks.
EDIT: I've just flashed the latest official firmware, but it don't boot, I see the sony ericsson splash screen and nothing happens. I'm a bit worried
EDIT: after a few minutes I've pulled out the battery and restarted, it booted correctly, but touchscreen don't works anymore like before. So I think it's near to be dead...
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Z1C.
I used CM 12.1 quite a while now and I wanted to know how much difference is to Android 6.
So I downloaded the Remix Resurrection rom and flashed the boot.img in fastboot mode to replace the CM-recovery with TWRP. That was a bit tricky, because CM deleted TWRP again and again and booted in the CM-recovery.
So, finally I got TWRP working, after booting directly into the recovery after flashing the boot.img via fastboot.
TWRP now told me, that no OS is installed. I tried to wipe the phone and to install the RR-rom, but the recovery always said that it has the wrong version (?).
So I flashed the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod-zip and was able to boot into CM again. But now there seems to be no recovery on the phone. Whenever I try to boot to the recovery, the Sony logo appears and the notification light turns into orange, but then it starts again to do so.
At the moment I try to boot into CM again, but I think it has stucked in a bootloop...
What can I do here? The only thing what works is to boot into fastboot mode, but without the system.img I cant flash any roms there. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Shut down your device and press volume up button while connecting it to your computer. Then it will boot into fastboot mode and you should be able to flash stock firmware in flashtool, and then you can start from scratch.

Another option is to follow this guide to install Recovery and When done you can boot into Recovery and flash a custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

Try Rashr app from play store. It sounds to me like incompatible kernel/recovery combo. Download a recovery IMG, (latest TWRP, for example), then use Rashr to flash it. You can also use it for flashing a boot IMG. Its probably the same reason you had trouble flashing ROM.
Besides that, you can install real recovery, which works the same regardless of the kernel-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/general/bootloader-devices-real-recovery-t3096837
Okay, after flashing it with flashtool it starts again. I now put the RR rom with Android 5.1 on.
I have again the CM recovery, but at least it starts how it should.
I will try to flash the real recovery, thanks!
Update:
Currently running RR with Android 5.1.
I would now like to use RR with Android 6, but again, I can only boot into the Cyanogen recovery, which cant make a backup of the currently running OS. I have tried to flash the boot.img from RR 5.1 with fastboot, Rashr, but nothing seems to work, as it puts me back to the Cyanogen recovery every time. How can I replace the Cyanogen recovery?
And one more question: When the phone starts, the notification light turns into red before the Sonmy logo appears and then turns into pink. What does the red light mean?

You need a recovery img, not boot img. Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65361797&postcount=78 or this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719 Open Rashr, choose ' recovery from storage'.
Okay, i flashed the 2.8.6.0 version via Rashr and now Im stuck on the Sony logo...the notification light is orange all the time, but I cant restart the phone anymore...any suggestions?
Edit: Worked! Used the combination between power and Vol+ to reset, and now it starts!
You should disable CM Recovery Protection – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the ‘Update recovery with system updates’ option. Otherwise it will keep installing cm recovery itself.
