Xperia Z1: Stuck In Bootloop After Trying To Flash ROM In TWRP

Bootloop Sony logo
oook, this was my first time that i tried to flash a rom with twro ... aaaand i messed all up.
i rooted my phone 2 days ago with kingroot then i used the [XZDualRecovery] to get twrp on my phone.
then i made a backup and wiped cache, dalvik cache, system and data ... then flashed a cyanogen mod
the only problem is that flashing cm put my phone on a bootloop on sony logo (not led neither vibration) and i can't enter the recovery neither flashmode.
sorry for the bad english

You can use fastboot on PC, if adb installed, to flash kernel and recovery IMG, then boot into recovery, and flash new ROM or restore backup. I have Z1c, so don't have any files for you, but easy to find in forums.

thank you, that was very usefull

ok, probably i messed up even more:
i wiped evrything from the phone (... again) and re failed to flash (yaeh, i'm so lucky/dumb)
now it stop before the Sony logo and simply stay with the black screen i can still enter fastboot mode but neither Emma Sony flashtool can reconize it ... but fastboot devices from cmd reconize it

Download a ROM file, (try a prf if no luck with CM), copy it onto sdcard, put sdcard in phone, download a CM boot.img to computer, (get it from a ROM zip file), and a twrp recovery.img. fastboot the 2 imgs, boot recovery, and flash ROM. Do you know why Roms aren't working? Are you using right files for your phone?

1) Download a ROM
2) Put it in the microSD
3) Download latest nightly form the official page of xperia z1c on cyanogenmod.org (can't link the page)
4) exctract the boot.img from the zip
5) download a twrp recovery.img
6) put them in the fastboot folder
7) open a cmd in that folder
8) fastboot boot [cm_boot filename].img
9) fastboot recovery [twrp_recovery filename].img

That's right, but I think I see where your problem might be, (unless it's just a typo). Your commands should be: for boot, 'fastboot flash boot (name of file).img; and for recovery, 'fastboot flash recovery (name of file).img.
Try again with that. There's some good files in this thread - a http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/root-stock-5-1-ub-t3203247
(Sorry, for some reason I thought you had a Z1. I would have linked it sooner).

I prefer to start from scratch, but I have tried some custom stock- based Roms. Of those, I would recommend anything by Munjeni, (he has a few KK and one LP ROM in the Dev forum), or DstrikerZ1. CM based Roms are great for customization and smoothness, but tend to be worse on battery, and very iffy with Xposed.

TWRP install on G4 H815 20A mm, doesn't stick (unlocked bootloader by LG official)

Hi,
I get TWRP running on phone , but when I boot into recovery , I always get the Standard Recovery, only option being a factory reset. Have opted for this factory reset and that is exactly what I get, no TWRP :crying:
Thanks

Also if you reboot to recovery through TWRP itself, it won't stick? If not: Is rooting an option for you? If yes: Try Flashify and flash it through this nifty little app .

This happened to me, too. Here is what i did:
Boot your device into fastboot mode via adb, straight up boot to recovery ("fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img"), transfer the recovery image to your device, then flash it from within TWRP (there is an option for that within the normal install menu, its called "install image" or something like that). Hope this helps, it did for me.
Edit: Just realized you already found a solution. Never mind.

Ive the same problem. I unlocked the bootloader by the official procedure. Then i tried to flash twrp but it doesnt install truly. It always appear the stock recovery. I tried also clockrecovery but nothing. No recovery wants to get installed. Pls help me i want a custom rom on my g4

use twrp v2.8.7.0 on 20A mm....... adb reboot bootloader, fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img, and to double check you have recovery,adb reboot recovery and then flash STOCK-20a-ROOTED

you can upgrade twrp with the twrp manager from playstore (once youve got twrp and root of course)

551ml can't unlock bootloader and can't install twrp.

I'm trying flash trwp so I can back up the stock mm that I'm on and I wanted to flash the cm13 with mm blobs.
After flashing twrp and I try to go into recovery it just shows the android guy with a ! Icon above him.
I tried using Asus unlock tool apk but it fails and closes.

I just tried that and I get the same error. The fastboot verify shows my phone is connected.
For some reason I don't think its fully unlocking my bootloader.
It will start to flash but at the end it says failed https://gyazo.com/2025260de02c9ffa6c3a5b9f1663c5a2
I then can proceed to install the splash screen to turn it back to black and exit. When I try to boot in bootloader and goto recovery I then get https://www.google.ca/search?q=reco...hWFWh4KHW0rDPAQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=P6Av23J5FPR39M:

Not too sure what's going on here , relating to your initial problem maybe ?
Drivers installed correctly etc..
This tool just works for me..
You got "minimal adb and fastboot" installed before this tool and working fine ???
Can u power off from bootloader ...Then use hard buttons to get to recovery ?
Just a thought.
Flash stock mm recovery back first if not got and try again.

Be done with it then by flashing stock recovery then sideload another fresh copy of firmware.
Then , use the modder

I'm not sure what you mean. How do I flash stock recovery. And why would I have to reflash stock mm?

To start from fresh
Just in case you damaged any sectors flashing earlier what caused the initial problem you posted.
You need to fastboot flash stock recovery from boot loader screen . Boot into stock recovery then select 'update over adb'
Then sideload from PC which sends firmware to phone.
Then you will be back to clean factory settings.
Fastboot commands is >
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Putting stock recovery in adb/fastboot folder first and renaming it to 'recovery'
adb commands in stock recovery is >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Renaming , stock ASUS firmware .134 to MOFD_SDUPDATE
and putting it in adb/ fastboot folder first.
Refresh this page later I will add some more info as I am stuck for time at the min ...
Or someone might come along and help further ?

are you Trying 3.5.2???

Having a similar issue. I'm on 3.5.2 unlocked bootloader, no root, stock recovery. Everytime I try to flash TWRP, it appears to succeed, but will never boot to TWRP. Boots fastboot and OOS just fine, but no recovery available. I then tried to flash stock recovery, but same issue appears. I then was able to use skipsoft toolkit to get stock recovery, but only by relocking then unlocking the bootloader. Everytime I tried to simply flash a recovery it appears to succeed, but will not boot to recovery. So skipsoft was able to fix the no recovery problem, but I am still unable to flash TWRP

Here is the issue. 3.5.2 has a different firmware than previous OOS versions. You will need a specific 3.5.2 modified TWRP. The link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3875375&d=1473889816
You can see that this is discussed on the oneplus forums here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ity-update-with-working-twrp-recovery.465353/
I ran into this same problem myself, and realized that this was the issue. You should be very careful because it could cause you some grief. Whatever you do don't lock your bootloader if you end up with a nonfunctional and non functional recovery.

I have the same issue i can flash all the recovery images but non of them worked i tried 1000 different methods and nothing works.. Getting a bit desperate is someone please able to help me got my new phone already broke it kinda..

I know u fixed the problem but i think this is a general guide to fix your phone if you have this type of issue after flashing OOS 3.5.6 based roms!
i had the same issue yesterday with freedom os 1.7 (based on OOS 3.5.6) and OOS 3.5.6, here is how i fixed my phone:
- download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3875375&d=1473889816
-unzip it and put it on the desktop
-put your phone in fastboot (make sure you have unloked bootloader and installed all the drivers and adb on your pc)
-press shift and right mouse click on the desktop and hit open a new prompt window here
-write "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img" and press enter, your phone should reboot in recovery (keep the prompt open)
-wipe dalvik/system/data/cache/internal storage go back and do format data
-reboot in bootloader(fastboot)
-write in the prompt "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.img"
-unplug your phone and turn it off switching in fastboot with the volume buttons
-when it's powered off press power+volume down and chose recovery
-now you should boot and flash any rom in recovery (i suggest you to not try to flash any OOS 3.5.6 based roms)
i went back to OOS 3.2.6 but any other custom rom lshould be fine!

The problem is getting the marshmallow bootloader is impossible
every time i go to the bootloader menu it states:unlock fail reboot in 5 seconds. or something like that i do not know how to fix it as i cannot use asus's app to unlock it because i'm using cm13 and i cannot flash original stock because the official twrp doesn't install and leaves me in a bootloop and i can't flash anything with cyanogen recovery and you know if fact i have more problems but if i can just successfully have the bootloader menu up for enough time to install the new bootloader and so i can install Lineage OS on my zenfone

what you are stating is unclear. any ways, flash stock raw firmware with commands. and then use unlock app to unlock bl and install twrp.
if you are unable to go to bootloader. try to dd bootloader image in /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 from adb shell

now reboot device, after reboot try to go to fastboot if still same. again in terminal
dd if=/sdcard/boot_sign.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 reboot and after that try to go to boot loader.

Don't be rude. Try to Google for phrases like "zenfone 2 bootloop". Website like Asus Zentalk is generally trustworthy.
