Hey I unlocked my z1c's bootloader today and after it was successfully completed, the device was stuck in bootloop.
I tried flashing a stock rom but flashtool gets stuck in Processing loader
Any help appreciated
What method did you use to unlock the bootloader? Official Sony method?
And have you ever flashed a stock rom before on this phone, using this same PC?

No this was first time flashing. I used the method that was in cyanogenmods z1c install guide.
It's now solved, the problem was that I had an old version of flashtool installed... -.- :laugh:

is your bootloader unlocked? have you installed FXP kernel or fusion?
repair:
flash stock rom
or...
can you enter fastboot mode?
try to flash a different kernel...
and if you want jelly bean on your phone, install from here

I can see just SONY logo, nothing else. I tried turn on CWM mod, but nothing happens. My pc doesn't detect my phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes this means that bootloader unlocked?

no. if you don't used one of this procedure find here or here than your bootloader is locked.
try to repair using pc compagnion or update service.

Hey Guys,
New of the forum here. For the past few days, I have been trying to install a custom rom on my Xperia S which I bought in Hong Kong about 2 years ago. I also had it updated to JB .96 version.
I read the forums as much as I could and firstly tried to root the phone. I couldn't determine if I had a locked or unlocked bootloader. I used this rooting guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417672
by doomlord
and then I moved on to installing a recovery which was also following doomlords guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308493&highlight=adb+server
After having done this, I wanted to install PureSlim KitKat on my Xperia S which I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606528&highlight=flash
But once I got into the recovery of CWM and selected to install the zip file, after installation it says that it will reboot device but it doesn't. I tried to manually start the phone but it couldn't start up. I can only get it to go into flashmode and thus I ended up flashing a ftf which I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422053
Afterwards, I am back to square one and I repeated the steps to reroot the device and then I installed recovery again and then tried another rom, this time I tried LeopardRom which also resulted in the same problem of not booting.
I also use Galaxy S2 and have custom rom on that but I didn't expect it to be that much different for xperia S. I am willing to follow steps to resolve the issue here.

you cant install that rom because is for unlocked bootloader and you have locked bootloader, you need unlock the bootloader and install a kitkat kernel. When you finish this you can install this rom
Not all of the bootloaders can be unlock. My bootloader can't be unlock so I use a rom that doesn't need unlocked bootloader. The rom is existenz v1.35

hi XMD users.
I unlocked my XMD C2005 succesfully but when i booted it i got stucked on bootanimation. I tried to flash the 4.3 kernel with CWM and able to go to recovery but still unable to boot into system..
I performed it twice but i have no idea what is the reason behind. my phone is unlockable.
Thanks.
Try flashing the kernel from the stock FTF through Flashtool. If you don't have one, try requesting from other users.

i already flashed the stock CWM kernel for xperia m dual but its no good.. i can put it bring it back to 4.3 but my problem is i can't root it..i always stucked in boot animation everytime i unlocked my device..
any idea why is this happening?
What do you mean, stock CWM? What I meant was to flash the stock kernel, the one that came with your device.

i can do that, but my problem is i can't boot my device after unlocking. i already unlocked my bootloader.. any suggestion?
I just want to ask and know, how long will it takes to boot up after unlocking 4.3 or flashing a 4.3 image with CWM? Coz' when I first unlocked the device it's been more than 20mins and the device still on boot animation..
Any tips? Thanks...
No. All you have to do is to boot into flash mode.
It doesn't normally boot too long. It's just like rebooting the device.
IDK I had some problems too with bootloader unlocking and I found the fix: don't unlock with Sony site, but with flashtool.
AFAIR I relocked my bootloader and then I unlocked it with flashtool and it worked. It's thag button near the flash button.
If you unlocked your bootloader already , relock with TA partition (If you Made).Or just relock it with the latest version of flashtool. And boot into flash mode (Volume down btn press and hold) and flash a .ftf firmware.That's it ----> CHEERS .. if you still facing problems please report in the same thread with my name i.e @XDASenior

Yes for first run after you've flashed your ftf , it may take up to 10 minutes so don't worry

Hey guys,
I have XZL C6503 and was on eXistenZ v4 with unlocked bootloader and a few days ago my phone started to reboot randomly, so I decided to flash stock rom with flash tool.
But since then Im stuck in a bootloop.
I have read this Guide but I didnt managed it to work again.
I have no problems to go into flashmode/fastboot mode and I already tried out different kernels and managed to open CWM on my phone but no matter which rom I try to install barely the installation has started my phone turns off.
I flashed with flash tool:
C6503_10.3.1.A.2.67_Global-LTE.ftf
C6503_10.3.A.0.423_MEA.ftf
C6503_10.5.A.0.230_BR.ftf
Flashtool did not produce any error, but my phone wont go further than the SONY logo.
I also tried the tool emma, but it was just as with flashtool.
When I try Sony PC Companion it produces some error, same with SEUS, probably cause of the unlocked bootloader.
Do you know any way to help me out?
I just need to relock my bootloader to send it back to sony.
Backup TA need unfortunately a running system.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Well... When im having a bootloop, i usually flash the stock ftf, then wipe ALL.... It works for me
hm I tried it serveral times, but didnt succeed
I read some tip, which suggests to flash a rom via fastboot, but I need a rom that comes with a system.img
Do you know where to get such file?

It looks like you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery image. That's if Sony have created a recovery image for this phone. If not, then you can't.
Or you'll just have to wait for some developers to start working on this device. Hopefully we'll have root and recoveries soon...

Hi!
The Xperia phone doesn't have a stock recovery, it just isn't a bootable thing.
You could however install a custom recovery, completely up to you.
Cheers :good:

Hey there man, I can't unlock my bootloader since it is in bootloop and also I have trouble flashing stock rom on xa1 ultra device.. it says no matching loader found. it basically skips flashing the rom. I have downloaded the rom through xperifirm and installed right drivers..
why cant the flash tool recognize and find the loader? does the loader mean the bootloader of the phone? which I have no way to unlock?:crying:
