flash the stock firmware (here you have to wipe cache and data)
no need to unlock bootloader once again already unlocked
follow the root instructions step by step
don't wipe cache and data(it will erase all your user data)
before flashing or changes with cwm please take a complete backup its help you to revert your phone.

I had exactly the same experience (except that I didn't install supersu) with my Xperia M C1905 a few days ago, and have been struggling unsuccessfully to fix it. In my case the phone got stuck at the animated boot logo after I unlocked the bootloader, even though I used the official Sony method and followed the instructions to the letter, and it said it worked OK with no errors. After that I successfully flashed a CWM boot image, and can now boot into recovery, but normal boot is still stuck at the logo. I can access the phone with flashboot but not adb. I have the correct Windows 7 drivers installed.
In CWM I find (like the previous poster) that I cannot mount or format /data, so I assume that's the cause of the problem. Does this mean that the data partition has got corrupted? If so, how can I fix that?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks, but as a newbie (at least to this phone) I'd appreciate more detailed guidance as to how to find the correct firmware (I'm on Android 4.3 stock, UK) and how to flash it safely.

to know correct firmware go to settings--> about phone--->Model Name/Built Number
then go to google enter "phone model no + built number +ftf" you can easily get your firmware
for flashing this ftf reffer this

Thanks for the link to the guide for flashing FTF files with Flashtool.
As I can't boot my phone, I can't go to settings > about phone! Am I safe to use a Global FTF? Or do I need a specific UK version?

Maybe, after unlocking the bootloader, you are not turn on your XM, but instead immediately installing cwm?

Perhaps that would have been better! But I wanted to check that the bootloader unlocking had worked correctly and that the phone was still OK. (It wasn't.) At least this way I know when the problem occurred.

Hey guys!
My Xperia Arc S is kinda new - 1 month old.
I was on Xperia Ultimade HD Rom for a while and wanted to install another rom, so i did via CWM Recovery.
All fine.
I wanted to restart my phone but it got stock in Sony Logo.
Because my bootloader cant be unlocked i rooted with kernel downgrade and CWM is not there after flashing due to the wipe.
So i flashed stock .tft with Flashtool and phone booted again.
Now when I'm trying to flash anything my phone gets always stuck in Sony Logo (even when i try Eagleboy's mode without wiping!).
Anyway: I'd like to install a custom rom.
Does anyone how to fix this?
Bootloader: Locked
Phone: LT18i
Rooted: yes
... and I have the 4.0.1.B.0.587 firmware installed right now.
Thanks in advance!
Phone Flashing problem
That's the only problem with locked bootloader's:crying:When you install some stock custom roms you have to wipe system to do a clean install which by default wipes cwm because it is installed in system for locked bootloader's.So if you have a problem with a install you have to flash another .ftf because you wiped cwm recovery.
When I first had arc I had a locked bootloader and it was a pain if something went wrong while flashinghaving to flash again etc! etc! It just got to stage where I had enough and took the plunge and unlocked the bootloader.:good:
I'm afraid it's one of those things you have to live with unless you unlock your bootloader:crying: ( I know you said you can't )there are quite a few stock roms that work but like I said if anything goes wrong you have to flash .ftf again.Probably a case of just trying each one Jader's rom alway's seemed to boot nice:good:

Hi, thanks for your answer
I tried to install 3 different roms till now - i wiped everything.
Then: Boot till sony-logo - I have to flash another tft with flashtool, Root again, and this takes time and is quite annoying.
I came from Samsung Galaxy S there wasn't the problem with the "bootloader" which is really annoying.
So: What should i do now?
I mean my CWM is not persistent and till now no rom worked.

Hi totally agree it is frustrating!:crying: When you install some of these custom rom's they use Aroma installer are you unticking the reboot option in aroma installer and rebooting from cwm?Because you need to reboot that way (you seem to be doing everything right )
(1) Boot to cwm
(2) Wipe cache/Data/Advanced Dalvik cache
(3) Mounts & Storage format data/cache/system (NOTHING ELSE!)
(4) Install .zip on Sd card
(5) Choose options Aroma Installer
(6) Untick reboot option
(7) Reboot from cwm

Haha i know. Thats why it seems strange for me too. But i need a custom rom and normally i would need a different kernel too.
But thats not possible. Sadly.
So nobody knows what i could change?

Only other thing you could try is changing your base firmware/ftf I notice you are using .587 base ftf try changing to another one, although Some of the custom roms recommend that firmware
Maybe someone else as any ideas
Απ: Flashing problem
If you accidentally formatted system then you removed the cwm. Try flashing the official ftf, install x-parts and redo everything without wiping system partition.
The other choice is to unlock your bootloader and you'll never face this problem again. I voided my warranty less a month after taking my phone, I knew that any problem will come up I could fix it myself

Yep sure - but my CWM is gone when i wipe data. And I tried this: I flashed stock .ftf and installed xparts, then flashed a ROM without wipe - but doesn't boot and I cant access CWM again :/
And as I said i can't unlock my bootloader.
.. But the strange thing is just:
I even get bootloop when I install EAGLEBOYYS MOD (!) without WIPING anything! (just the recommended for sure)
That should not happen.
Why can't you unlock bootloader? Doing that would solve most of the problems you are facing. You don't have to downgrade to re root. Flash the stock kernel, install a new recovery then try again.
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
If I go in service menu it says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No !
If I flash stock .ftf root is gone (?) -- RootChecker says that root is gone too.

Thats how i rooted my Arc S!
Thats the only method that is working with locked BL.
And well, i took all the steps mentioned in the second topic you posted..
If you can't get it to work (stuck on Sony logo), then flash this in flash tool and then root again and do it one more time.
It´s ICS and kernel for Arc S but works fine on regular Arc. I use it myself on my Arc.

hmmm bro, i think you have a same problem with stuck in boot logo after unlock the bootloader right? just try to flash the stock rom with flashtool and check list the wipe data and cache in flashtool and after that flash it and wait. after boot up you can install any kernel for recovery mode and any custom rom for your development.
good kuck

so you think it's must change the kernel first? i still dizzy i just reflash it and it's okay again? change the kernel? with fastboot? but how about that kernel isn't compatible with that devices? can be hardbrick?
This may be the solution.
Hey brother,
Even i encountered that problem before, even i followed the same steps mentioned in the official sony site and was successful in wiping out my stock ROM and got stuck into the boot logo "SONY".
Then i tried to reset my phone using hard reset keys but didnt work.
i sincerely suggest you not to use flashtool.exe( which will open up CMD and u type series of codes ) .
Then i used Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool ( now new version is released) you can download from
here : http://www.xperiafirmware.com/compo...2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool
Download the .FTF file of your phone and connect your phone in Flashboot mode ( it may be volume down key , search for ur phone).
Then make sure you check Wipe data and cache partition and click the flash button.
I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004. it worked for me and i am sure this will work for u too. if u have tested with this method and if it didnt work then i am so sorry i cant help u but trust me this will definitely work.:good::angel:

Hey there,
Yes we can select whether to wipe out data or not but the reason i mentioned is i want his phone to turn as new as before , you can exclude
wiping out the data but the remains of files in the /System can lead to undesirable , i never experimented but read in few blogs and few tld me abt this and that made me write it .so i never wanted to take chances and thats y i suggested him like that
i am no expert and still learning . but it is recommended to wipe out data and cache . thats what we do when we flash a custom rom right?
hope i was clear. thnx , gud day:angel::angel::good:
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to install custom recovery in my Sony Xperia S L26ii , So rooted it a week ago. It is rooted for sure., I installed titanium backup and backed up everything. Yesterday I did unlock my bootloader so that I can install a custom recovery and custom rom. I followed the procedure of official way of unlocking bootloader by getting the key and unlocked it using fastboot command.
Till This everything works fine.I could boot into my device.
I flashed Twrp recovery adb fastboot. After this I wanted to backup my Stock rom. While I try to perform backup i got an error "unable to mount data" and it was unsucessfull.
I tried to reboot the system and shocked that it is stuck in boot loop now. I am seeing the word "Sony " and again it is rebooting,
I tried whatever I can by browsing internet. It seems I cannot use pc companion since I unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery.
i tried to download tft file from somewhere and tried to flash through flashtools and got an error "ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors."
Dont know what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated. All I could access is TWRP recovery . currently I powered off the phone.
Please help me in the right direction.

It is the "ftf" file, not "tft". Try Flashing the stock ftf file immediately again after You get the error, it will work. You get the error first time.

Thank you bro for replying and correcting me. Yes ftf file. I am downloading stock ftf from XDA forum (thanks for the member) and Will try to flash it (by pressing volume down and connecting usb cable to it) and will let you know.
Im just wondering , yesterday when I saw the phone in bootloop , I paniked and try to perform factory reset couple of times . Though it did not help in anyway. Will it disable usb debugging? If so is there any way we can reenable it from recovery or any other way?

Nah it won't affect You while flashing the ftf file. You can always flash the ftf file using flashtool by fastboot, no matter what.

Bro, You are great. That worked. It did revoked my root and locked bootloader though. But that is fine. I could do root and unlock the bootloader again..
A quick question. It all happened when I flashed TWRP recovery in this phone using this link (http://techglen.com/2014/02/12/install-twrp-custom-recovery-on-xperia-s-lt26i-nozomi/2/). I have already flashed TWRP in another HTC but it never caused this issue.
Is there any issue in installing TWRP in xperia sl ?
Should I use only CWM recovery?
If i can use Twrp , is there any good way/post or steps you recommend.?
Many Thanks again:good:

Weird. It should not lock Your bootloader, since locking bootloader has different procedure. Anyways, TWRP works fine with Xperia SL. Even My phone is a SL and I always use twrp. Which version where You using of twrp? Use this version. And flash it using the command by connecting Your phone in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-LT26i.img

Bro. I flashed this recovery and now after reboot phone is going to recovery only. I manually tried to reboot it to bootloader and it is getting to TWRP recovery only. I tried to flash a Kitkat rom which was in my internal memory as zip file it failed with error " error executing updater binary in zip" did google search on it and got to know to overcome this error I had to be on TWRP 2.8.0.1 but we are already in that code, I dont know why I was still getting that error.
So I used the ftf file again to flash . I followed the forum "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28305266&postcount=3" to get the ftf file. I could see there are ftf for ginger bread and ICS , but I could only flash Ginger bread since I am getting error when I flash ICS ftf. not sure why.
Now having stock Ginger Bread rom rooted and bootloader unlocked.
I am happy that you brought me this far. It Would be great if you could guide me to proceed further to install any custom recovery and any custom rom of Jelly bean and higher. :good:
- Suresh
I also wanted to try something before you come online . so flashed the custom recovery which you have provided and flashed cyanogenmod 9 latest nightly and current status is
Rooted, bootloader unlocked, installed custom recovery(TWRP){with your wonderful assistance} , flashed cyanogenmod 9 nightly(ICS)
All I need now is a jelly bean rom or KITKAT rom (preferable )

My Bad, that procedure installs a Kernel, and since it was not compatible with the ROM You were using, it only booted to the twrp. Copy the file to Your internal sdcard and use these following commands on Terminal Emulator app from playstore:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
where fotakernel.img is the name of Your .img file.
It was weird that You go that error while flashing a Kitkat ROM. Which ROM were You trying to flash? If You wan to flash a Kitkat ROM, then follow the procedure here, no matter which Android version You are on, no need to do anything else.

I did it, it was with flashify to inject TWRP to recover the recovery and flashmode. It could stay in flashmode enough to flash via flashtools of XPERIA, and then I came back with the phone and I could sold it, Thx for the replies.

Original Post
I am highly desperate and dont know what to do....
I have a Xperia SL lt26ii, and I take my time to root and install a custom recovery when I was on 4.1.2 "6.2.B.0.211".
I found on the internet this link:
downloads for Sony Xperia S by billchen
About marshmallow of Xperia S, as I read I thought that the xperia sl and the s, use exactly the same things so I decide to install via custom recovery, flashing the zip of the marshmallo_r1 of the Xperia S, and Now I am in 6.0.1 and the phone recognize as Xperia S.
Also flash zip, gapps and super user specified for Xperia S and gapps 5.0+.
But when the phone boot up, super user app said that it cant take the correct permits, and close
I tried first to use king root, nothing happen,
then I tried to enter to recovery, and the phone wont boot into recovery
I tried also to use flashtool to install the stock kernel, but the phone only stays in flashmode a few seconds, and the program said, "Error flashing abort", to make the things worse, the phone just stay on flashmode a few seconds
I tried also to install a custom recovery but For that I have to be root user
To make things even worst, the internal phone only recognize 2Gbs of memory, but this devices has 32Gbs
So please If you read all these, I am very desperate I trying and failing on this for around 5 weeks, If you have something, even the smallest thing I will appreciate, please help me
Hard rest your device then Flash stock ftf with flashtool not just the kernel

You have to install fastboot/flashmode drivers on your PC.the phone staying few seconds in fast boot/flashmode and then going to charging screen means it is not finding fastboot/flashmode drivers.
In marshallow it is normal to show only 2gb.you have to repartition tour internal storage to data partition to use all storage space.you can read more about this on the below link

Hi guys I got bootloop in my moto g5. First I got "failed to mount /data", now the phone boots in unlocked warning screen then says "erasing" then reboots and start over again.
Before the procedure my actions was:
- I got OTA update
- inserted a microSD
- unlocked bootloader
- boot on TWRP 3.1.0
- backup to microSD
-install TWRP
as shown by bootloader screen, my model is "cedric XT1672 32GB P5", M8937_8000.122.02.45R CEDRIC_BRAZILDSDS_CUST.
What I don't understand is why TWRP don't restore, as a made a backup before the procedure.
I appreciate if somebody could help me out!
I had the same problem. Wiping /data corrupted my partition table or system partition.
You need to flash the system and / or the partition table via fastboot from the extracted stock rom (see the other thread arround here, make sure you use the right link (cedric, not the potter one)
-> boot to fastboot
fastboot flash system system.sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.sparsechunk.1
...
It should boot normally afterwards, but probably twrp is gone / twrp has no access to your /data again. See the twrp thread, i'm facing the same issue. But at least the phone works again - without root
Greetings,
Chris
