Hello,
My Xperia z1 compact is not able to boot to recovery anymore. I have installed cm11 nightly build from 9th mai 2014. Yesterday i tried to update with cm-updater, but after it successfully downloaded the rom, my z1 compact just rebooted but did not enter recovery. So no update was performed. After that I tried to enter recovery-mode manually, first with SleepandWake -> Restart -> Recovery and after that from PowerOff with "PowerOn and VolumeUp". My Phone always boots the normal system. Also the LED-light is missing. Normally it lights purple and orange while booting Recovery, but since yesterday it stays off while booting.
Howerver, booting into bootloader is still possible. The blue light is on while in bootloader.
I bought it a while ago in February, I think and it is running CM11 since the first Day and I do my updates twice a week.
Does anyone know about that problem? How could this happen? And what can I do to update my Smartphone?
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks
Kind Regards

Reflash the kernel with fastboot.

Hi,
same problem here but other rom.
My Z1C ist rooted and on 4.4.2 (14.3.A.0.757) Stock. (Something with generic DE).
Sorry, i am not so familiar with this.
Now I can't enter the recovery menu anymore. On booting the phone a red led flashes (instead of a green one while rooting process).
When a app tries to "boot to recovery", the phone normally boots android.
I have tried the install.bat in Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer.zip and choose option 1 "rooted with SuperSU".
Scripts runs through but when phone reboots, only android starts.
Could i try to flash the kernel new or would i loose my root?
If your bootloader is locked you need to start again from the beginning of the guide. The above solution is only for unlocked bootloader.

Hi!
I'm moving my first steps into Android modding: I've succesfully installed Cyanogenmod on my Xperia U and then started to play with my Xperia S. That's what I did on the S:
- unlocked bootloader (with Sony official procedure)
- copied ROMs into phone
- flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 using flashtool (fastboot mode)
- started phone in recovery, wiped, installed ROM/Gapps, reboot.
All seems to work fine: the phone boots correctly, system configuration and all, except that when I reboot it, on the next start it stucks on boot on Sony logo.
The phone is recognized by flashtool and I can still enter recovery, so I can't say it's bricked, but it doesn't start the OS!
I've tried different ROMs, Android 4.4.4. and 5.0.2, but the result is the same: all working fine until the phone is rebooted, then stuck. Sometimes it happens just after installing the ROM, other times later, after installing other apps (it always happens if I try to recovery app backups with Titanium backup, for example).
Can it be a TWRP problem?
Any ideas or help will be high apreciated! :fingers-crossed:

After flashing ROM, the phone will seem to be stuck at Boot Animation for 10-15 minutes. It is not stuck and normal. Let it boot, it will come to home screen eventually. During second boot, it will seem to be stuck at Sony logo, but this is too normal. It will take approx 10 minutes here too.

Wow. Thank you Mirhawk! I knew about long boot animation at first boot, but never heard about the second (or later) one "stuck" at Sony logo! Waited 10 minutes and then the phone wake up! :good:
Thank you again.
Hi everybody.
A friend gave my dad his old Xperia S, which was running MIUI. My dad gave it to me because he wanted "proper Android".
ADB worked, CWM Recovery was installed, no root seemed present. I first tried downloading a ROM and flashing from CWM, but it was a no-go, I got a "status 0" error.
No problem, I thought. I installed Flashtool, downloaded one of the 6.2.B.1.96 ROMs (Movistar branded, for Spain) via Xperifirm and flashed it. It didn't work if I went straight to flash mode, it waited at "Reading device information" or something like that. I had to turn on the phone, connect it, chose the flash options in Flashtool and *then* putting the phone in flashmode. If
Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop. "SONY" -> XPERIA" -> Rainbow colors -> Movistar Logo -> "SONY" -> "XPERIA"...
I can only stop the bootloop by long pressing Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds, until the phone vibrates three times.
I can flash things, but I actually don't know what I am supposed to flash in order to get a working phone
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I would recommend flashing a unbranded firmware. Also, do You have bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thanks for the answer.
A couple of hours ago I reflashed the same ROM checking the "wipe" options and everything is working as it should
If it hadn't worked I'd have tried your advice, thanks again.
Hi I have a rooted Z1 Compact with locked bootloader and xz dual recovery which I installed lollipop 5.1.1 on through twrp yesterday. Everything works fine the only problem is I'm completely unable to boot into recovery... any recovery. I've tried all combinations of buttons, downloaded quick root and tried to boot into recovery through ndr utils, rom and twrp manager but nothing works.. It just reboots as normal after hanging a little on the opening graphics. My volume buttons work fine, however when I boot up my phone where the led used to light up I noticed it isn't lighting up (although it is for texts/charging etc). Has anyone got any advice? I really need to get into recovery...

If that doesn't do it, it may be an issue with new boot loader. Are you familiar with that? I don't know which ROM/kernel you're using, but booting into recovery w/ new bl only works starting w/ power off, and the right boot-recovery combo.
hi, i own my nexus 5x since july 2016, just yesterday i decided to root it.
so.. first i downloaded the adb tool on my pc, i unlocked the bootloader and then while boooting, it showed an orange message wich says "your device software can't be checked for corruption. please lock the bootloader" but in a few seconds it disappeard, and the device booted.
today, i flashed a custom boot.img and i also flashed the lastest versione of twrp for my device.
in the end, the device while booting, opened the fastboot mode, also if i pressed only power button, and the recovery worked pretty fine. when i pressed start, it sayed the same advertisment, but this time it did'nt disappear.
after a few rebbot with the same ending, i locked again the bootloader succesully, but that time it tald me a red error, "sistem is corrupted" wich wasn't going away.
i locked again the boot loader and now i am in the same situation.
i've done a data wipe, and a cache wipe from recovery and nothing happend.
waht should i do?
solved
ok guys, i solved the problem by flashing stock rom from adb found on google official thread, i also flashed superSU and now it works fine
Hi
I begun experiencing some random freezings at homescreen. When that happenned I rebooted and resumed working. I thought it was some app or OS problem and ignored that.
Until phone didn't boot anymore and now I'm stuck at boot screen. It does not pass through it
I cannot do anything at recovery. I can see the menu, but when I release any of the keys I used to access recovery, everything dissapear and turns off.
Is there any way to debug which could be the problem? Or any tools I could use to repair it
PS: I did not try to unlock bootloader, flash any other recovery, kernel, rom, etc. Its stock as I took it off its package since bought it.
Thanks a lot for any tip you could give me :good:
