Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom
I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.
I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

cheers..!!
did u hit the thanks button yet.?? :laugh::good:
I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.
So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?
Am I right ?

2- While you are on stock 6.2.B.0.211 , Flash DooMLoRD kernel on Fastboot mode using Flashtool.
3- Turn your phone on , and when you see TWRP logo , press VOL+ bottom , you will get into "TWRP" recovery.

You don't need to install superuser.zip. TWRP has a builtin rooting function.
After going to recovery for the first time and when you reboot, it will install su & superuser.

Lool i didn't get that on my mind! But to install root we need to turn the phone up then open SuperSU installer , so flashing superuser.zip maybe fastest and easyier!

Thanks , i know that , see the first replay but just i forgot that , my mistake.
guys what could seems be the problem, I get error "the phone must be rooted" in the flashing tool. i have all the requirements listed but i get that error? could somebody tell me what to do. thanks
U need an unlocked bootloader.
Does anyone think that there will be a one-click-root-tool at some point? I don't feel like flashing this much..

Hey guys, as the post title says, I'm trying to install the xperia play z rom, and I'm hitting a lot of road blocks. First one is, I don't even know if my phone's bootloader is unlocked! I'm pretty sure it is, because I thought all r800a's came with an unlocked bootloader, and I also used the flashtool, unlock bootloader tool, and it said it was already unlocked.
So, naturally what I do, is I flash the firmware in the guide (located here - http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...a-play/417392-rom-xperia-play-z-v1-1-0-a.html), and after that I want to root it so I can install a recovery. But when I try to root it, it always fails on part 1. So I tried to install cyanogenmod recovery without it. But after the apk is installed, i'm not able to install the actual recovery because it is not rooted.
My main problem with the guide is that it says to just boot into clockworkmod recovery, but I don't know how to. I turn on the phone and press the up button, but without installing the CWM/X-parts recovery, there's no way I can expect it to come up.
Any help please? I'm totally lost here. I know how to get roms that are based on gingerbread, but for some reason, Ics/Jellybean roms don't work at all, and I don't know if it is whether because my phones bootloader isn't unlocked (even though it says it is), or it's something else, like me missing a tutorial specifically for ics/jellybean roms.
Thanks in advance.

Well you have to flash an ICS kernel first and it will already have a cwm recovery in it. Then you can just boot to recovery and flash the rom

yes, boot.img is inside the zip. Unpack just that file and flash it with flashtool (in fastboot mode). But you must have unlocked bootloader to be able to flash any custom kernel

Sorry, another question. What happens is that when I try to flash an ics kernel, it goes into an infinite bootloop, but when I flash a gingerbread kernel, it works fine. Is this a sign of a locked bootloader? Cause I thought you wouldn't be able to install any kernels if it was locked.

If you flash ics kernel, you won't be able to boot your old gb rom. Ics kernel only boot into ics rom.
When you flash ics kernel, go to recovery and install ics rom.

For future readers -
a. The r800a indeed does come with bootloader unlocked
b. It is normal for the phone to bootloop, Just go into recovery like normal and install the rom .zip. (It's usually tapping back while starting the phone, but if that doesn't work, try up volume or down volume)

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:
[i919x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
Download philz_touch_6.07.9-serranoltexx.tar.md5
boot into download mode
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

I have tried googling it but no luck.
Only way for me to root is to unlock bootloader it seems.
EDIT; I got root access!!
I unlocked the bootloader via flashtool. I still have bravia engine/camera/etc.

here are the steps I did..I will do my best to provide anything I can.
First thing; unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it via flashtool. i still have bravia engine/clear audio, so that's intact. Put the SUPERSU 2.40 on your SD Card along with the dual recovery flash file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793
After that I used fastboot to install the CWM recovery( fastboot.exe flash recovery boot.img), and rebooted.
I rebooted into CWM and flashed the dual recovery. follow the instructions to boot into TWRP(I like this recovery.)and flash SUPERSU 2.40. Wipe cache/dalvik/system. If you get a bootloop, reboot into recovery and flash the pre rooted stock firmware from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-d5303-4-4-3-pre-rooted-stock-t2962677. then reboot.
another fun fact? I also successfully backed up the TA Partition. woo!
What file did you flash at first? Is it T2U-SS_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-207_v01.img ?
It didn't work for me, I could not reboot into CWM or whatever custom recovery it contains.
Thank you!

Sure.
BEFORE ANYTHING; Put supersu 2.40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 on your SD Card!!
I used flashtool(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)to unlock the bootloader first. I still had my TA Keys so it should be fine.
after unlocking the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode(I think it's while the phone boots up, you hold power+up vol). and use this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685932 to boot into CWM recovery.
Once you're in CWM, Install the dual recovery and reboot phone. Hold down vol when the green LED turns on, you will reboot into TWRP. Touch controls won't work but if you press the power button and press it again, touch works.
Install SuperSU 2.40 and you should be okay..
That kernel works on 4.4.2? in the CWM thread right in the first post it says requirements 4.3. Need more details before I move forward with this.
I am on a US D5316 running 4.4.2 , build 19.1.A.0.486.
