Hello.
I recently tried to root my device.
I followed the official Sony guide to unlocking the bootloader, but, as soon as I booted the device it became stuck on the boot animation.
I flashed it back to the factory settings, firmware 15.4.A.0.23. Retried the procedure, same results.
Re-flashed it to 15.4.A.0.23, and installed CWM after attempting the bootloader unlock (again). It was stuck on the boot animation as it was before, but I could boot into the CWM. With it, I managed to use the SuperSu.zip update, but I still get stuck on the animation.
Am I doing something wrong?
Nevermind, managed to fix it. Downgraded to the previous firmware and used Framaroot.apk.

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

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.
I've just update my firmware using my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
I'm S-On and followed every instruction. When the phone boot (everything was succesfull), it was stuck on the HTC welcoming screen.
Then I thought because the rom installed didn't match the new firmware, so I decided to unlock the bootloader, that too was fine. But then when the phone boot up, I again got stuck on the HTC welcoming screen. Then I tried adb to boot into the bootloader to flash the TWRP custom recovery, but nothing to do, adb is not recognising the phone. But the storage of my phone is appearing on windows explorer and the drives were successfully installed automatically.
What should I do, urgent please anyone
Thanks

hold up and down volume keys then power button to switch off device. Then boot into bootloader through volume down and power button. Flash recovery and install rom. Panicked for nothing
A few weeks ago, before the OTA release of Lollilpop for my Nexus 7, I booted into fastboot mode and manually flashed the razor factory images for Android 5.0. Everything worked fine until the N7 crashed (from a fully working state) and rebooted. When it rebooted, it would not progress past the Google logo. All I can access is the fastboot screen.
I've now come back to try and fix it. I've tried erasing the system and flashing the old (and new) stock Android images using fastboot. This process completes without errors but the N7 will still not boot past the Google logo. I've also tried flashing a custom recovery but the N7 will not enter recovery mode.
My bootloader is unlocked and is currently version FLO-04.02. Does anyone have ideas for what to try next?
I have a 32gig flo, I was running 4.4.4 with TWRP and ElementalX kernel. I tried to flash 5.02 with NRT and it all went wrong. First, while flashing it got stuck at the bootloader screen - pics / screenshots here. Then I realized the bootloader was locked, so I tried to unlock the bootloader with NRT and it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled battery and tried the “Flash Stock + Unroot” feature to go back to stock 4.4 and the command prompt came up and said it was successful, but it's stuck in another bootloop, and now I can't even get back to the bootloader menu. I didn't use force flash mode and it said to try that but i can't get to that point. am I screwed? :crying:
edit: got into bootloader menu, used force flash mode and it's stuck in a boot loop again.
I just realized there were some text documents in Simple Notepad that i would have liked to keep. Is there any way I can recover them?
Was driving home last night, phone in cup holder and all of the sudden it just has a white screen with the google logo. I went into the boot loader and tried everything i could, including factory reset wipe. Same results.
Then I downloaded adb and fast boot and side loaded the latest firmware zip. The process completed successfully but nothing changed. Still stuck on “Google”
I’ve never customized any bootloaders or firmware, phone is bone stock.
edit: so from what I read online is that pretty much out of luck since my bootloader is locked and i have no way of unlocking it since it wont boot
