I did that....
Had to flash the stock again root install cwm again Rom. But it is the same everytime, evn aftr flashing kernel it always dead. I was trying to instsll another Rom and thn it went to brick mode then aftr lot of search I found to flash stock Rom so downloaded ftf of. 96 an then flashed it started working again I did rooting and installation of cwm again new Rom and it is going on and on right now im using stock Rom frm Sony and it is rooted had not gone further.
How do I solve this now?

so means your phone isn't dead ,so after you flash can't boot, I think you had better to check if you are unlock your boot loap or not, If you have unlocked, I think need to flash new boot for your rom, not only kernel.

right now ,you can flash customer rom,just choice what you want from the furom.Just before you flash the rom,follow the information which the developer said.

Another way is to get to customer service center.

Restart after Update

Hi
I rooted LG G3 in 4.4.2 rom to recovery some photos and then there was an update .after update the phone doesn't work normally .It restarts continual .it shows all update has been done 100% but after that it restarts. I need my contact number how can I access to my phone memory to get my contact backup .I got a backup before root but in phone memory

You can't update while rooted bad idea..You can try flashing a kdz (stock rom ) with flashtool and choose not to wipe your data this may work look in the forum on how to do this..

[How to]Relock Bootloader

My mobile:
ZF2 ZE551ML 2GB [ROOTED] [BT UNLOCKED]
bear with me!!!!!!!!
I had Hard Bricked my phone previously
[xFSTK Method] i flashed the .RAW file to recover it
After fewdays
I flashed TWRP
but when i try to open recovery it again boots to bootloader
i researched a lot and found that BT must be unlocked (i already unlocked though)
Then i again unlocked BT.. Im Successful in flashing
So,
Do i relocked the bootloader using the .RAW file??
can i able to relock it if i do the same(flash .RAW file)??

Did the black splash screen come back after you flashed the RAW image?

No

Nope.. I flashed Black Splash screen Later

I do believe what you are saying, cause I can actually relate it to changing of motherboard

I found a tutorial for bootlader unlocking but I can't try it 'cause I already haven't the ZF2.

Is there a way to know if the bootloader is relocked or not? A part from the white or black splashscreen

Downgrade firmware?

Hello. I just moved to Z5 premium from N7100. It came with the latest firmware(.224). I read the thread about rooting Z5 premium and I saw something about "DRM keys". They said that the tool used to backup DRM keys called iovyroot is not working on the latest firmware. So, is there any ways to downgrade or should I just wait for the developer to update the tool?

You can use Flashtool for downgrading. Go check the iovyroot thread for further instructions.

Im also having a problem with downgrading my Z5P (E6853) when I flash with firmware .200 or .170 my phone just goes to endless looping. Flashing back to .244 or the latest version I got no problem. Did I miss any step to downgrade my Z5P. Im currently stuck to this part before I can unlock my bootloader and root my phone. Any help will do. Thanks!

It worked for me by checking everything to be erased and EXCLUDING the modem flash. If you want to try, I suggest that.

Thats interesting... I had a generic LAM device with .224 installed when i got it. I downgraded using a .200 NCB firmware that i found on xperia firmware website (oddly enough)
Why do you exclude system if you dont mind me asking?

I need more info. Which firmware did you flash (stock (which version?) / CM11/12/13)? In most cases you can reflash the phone using Flashtool. If you were flashing using flashtool you might have a corrupted .ftf file.

He says he ended up in a bootloop. This does not mean that his phone is dead or that he will need SETool. Now he just said "bootloop." We don't know which "bootloop" (kernel/OS). It is most likely the OS bootloop which can be simply fixed by reflashing.
