Fastboot is for flashing kernel. You need unlocked bootloader for this process.
Flashmode is for flashing the stock rom.
If you had bootloop just flashing the stock rom again.

Hi all, I have a serious problem, I was following a tutorial to install CM on my ZL. The tutorial was for the Z and ZL, when I get to the part of installing the recovery, download the link and not the Z ZL and install and reboot, the phone did not return to light. Anyone know how I could fix the problem. From already thank you very much, I hope you can help me. And forgive me for my poor English.

You need a unlocked bootloader to do custom roms however there are custom roms for locked bootloaders too.
Sorry, but I do not understand what I said apparently what happened is that the Xperia download a recovery and install Z, instead of one of the Xperia ZL. After restarting the phone, the phone did not return to start. Sorry for my English but is very poor.
Anyone know what I should do?

The problem is not that I can not install because of the bootloader, but that installing the recovery that was not the cell does not start, it is not detected by the FlashBot or the PC.
For AOSP roms like CyanogenMod you need an unlocked bootloader.
Locked bootloader works only for stock kernel based roms.
If your phone is already rooted and BL unlocked, download CyanogenMod http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=odin
Extract the boot.img from that .zip-file and flash it via fastboot.
You'll need fastboot drivers installed to work! (--> http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/40599174/file.html)

Hahaha I still make myself understood, installing a boot.img of "Xperia Z", the phone will not start, is not unbootable android, but the phone does not start. I can not even get into Fastboot mode
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

i have the same problem, i have locked bootloader and i want flash kitkat, can you give me some advise or a link on how to do it? i`ve just bricked my phone twice...
Hi,
I never had this problem with other devices.
I have rooted my xperia z1c and installed custom recovery following the tutorial on xda. I was able to install xposed on kitkat and playing around with all sorts of rooted goodies ...
After that I tried no 3 times ! 3 different 5.0 custom roms. I followed the steps including wiping etc. Everytime I am ending up on a black screen with doing a reset through sonys software with the original unrooted rom.
I think I managed it one time to install a custom 4.4.4 rom without a problem. MAybe it has something to do with lollipop. Do I have to install a certain custom rom before installing a lollipop rom ? After flashing the rom I flashed the recovery fix btw. But I wasnt able to enter recovery mod ( black screen ) The phone seemed to work fine ( sony software deteced the phone instantly )
Any ideas?

Possibly not a new idea, as I believe you already did that, but, did you unlock the Bootloader?

thanks for any idea
to be honest I am not sure .. I used fastbood for installing the firmware , I think I didn´t. Do I need to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms cause I installed one without a problem ( 4.4.4 )
OK I check it. I didnt unlock my bootload so thanks for that .. but why was it possible to install a custom kitkat rom ?

Some custom roms use stock kernel. Stock kernel works with locked bootloader. If you want to run a CM based rom, you will need to unlock the bootloader, but make sure you make a backup of your TA partition first.
Unlocking the bootloader disables some of the Sony software and camera features.
These roms will work with a locked bootloader, but just flash the rom, don't flash anything - kernel/recovery after

thanks again !

Each device is different which is why you need to read instructions first.
Hey friends,
I finally managed to brick my device (c6503).
Had it on resurrectionremix and wanted to go to lineage. After that didnt boot i tried some older CM12/11 builds and finally lost my recovery whith flashing an aosp rom...
I decided to go on stock using flashtool, and now here I am, looking as stupid as it gets
Tried various ftf's using flashtool, always resulting an a black screen after the sony logo. now i dont know what to do next.
Your Help is much appreciated

I was able to find a solution myself. I flashed some Kernel which included cwm via flashtool. I was able to boot into this recovery. Then I used ADB sideload to install CM14.1 unofficial and voilà!
I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.
Regards!
Were you able to return to ROM STOCK ??
I'd like that, but unfortunately I could not, even flashing a custom recovery on it.
I would like to go back to ROM STOCK, do you know any tips?

I have a similar question, I appreciate your help if you can.
Now, I have 7.1.1 Nougat from XOSP , and it works well. I'm trying to restore the official kernel from Sony, using Sony's Emma, to make some tests. When I flash the package from Emma onto C6503, it won't turn on, just show Sony Xperia logo and then black screen. Do I need to flash other packages ? I thought the Sony's official kernel has all things to put it back to near original form.
Thanks!
I have Installed RR-N 20160312 then revert to stock LL, then Only Sony/Xperia Logo. Then I ask some question, they say Flash Kk, successfully flash the Kk build. But unfortunately, My Internal Storage Cannot Read. I think that was the Problem why flashing LL just make it only Sony Logo, No Bootamation. Still finding a workaround to fix this

I was not able to return to stock Rom. In fact, I tried to revert to stock today by simply flashing it with flashtool but got the same "black screen after Xperia logo" issue as last time. I would like to return to stock in the future, but for now I dont know how and I dont think there is anyone dedicaded to fix this issue right now.

Can u pls link me to the Kernel? Same problem atm...
Same issue here.
Tried locking back bootloader, flash ftf via flashtool, black screen.
Tried flashing directly via Emma, black screen.
Running out of ideas...

Well, just got back to Stock 5.1.1.
Followed the idea posted by Kran007:
-Coming back from CM14, used EMMA FlashTool, that resulted in the famous black screen
-Flashed stock Kit Kat FTF using FlashTool (not EMMA) with unlocked bootloader (should work perfectly fine for locked bootloaders as well) and started the phone correctly.
-When back to FlashTool and locked the bootloader, just in case.
-Used PC Companion to update to the latest build available, only works with locked bootloader i think
It's not the best solution, it isn't the fastest either, but it works!!!
Hope this can help anyone...
Just flash stock 4.4 kk firmware using flashtool. Yes, it needs a lot of work to go back to stock LP, root and have recovery but it is the best way when you flash custom rom with nougat and above. I don't face again the problem of not accessing internal storage ☺
